The cold wind is biting.
The sky is getting gloomier.
Thick lead clouds covered the sky.
This is the sign before the storm comes.
But in Winterfell at this time.
No one cares about this.
In front of the broad square where the main castle is located.
With the arrival of His Majesty the King's huge motorcade.
The entire atmosphere of Winterfell changed.
When King Robert Baratheon started chatting and reminiscing with Eddard Stark, his subordinate, the Duke of Winterfell, and an old friend in front of everyone.
Behind the king.
In the huge team, people from King's Landing dismounted one after another.
At the same time, on the luxurious, large and conspicuous carriage pulled by several horses, the carriage door was finally opened.
"Ed, how long has it been since we last met?"
Robert Baratheon looked at his old friend in front of him and asked.
"Nine years, Your Majesty."
"We haven't seen each other in nine years."
Ed Stark smiled.
"Nine years..."
"Has it been this long?"
After hearing what his old friend said, Robert Baratheon sighed and spoke.
But after a moment of emotion, Robert Baratheon immediately changed his words and looked at his old friend in front of him and said, "It's been nine years. Where have you been hiding all these years?"
"I don't see you coming to King's Landing to have a drink with me..."
Hearing the king's slightly complaining tone, Ed Stark continued to smile and said: "Of course I will protect the North for you, Your Majesty."
"Winterfell is at your disposal."
But Robert Baratheon just shook his head, looked at his friend in front of him and smiled: "You, you, you know I don't like to hear these words..."
The king and Eddard Stark talked about old times in front of the team.
Most of the people in the Winterfell team behind were watching the King and the Duke reminisce about old times.
But Morgan's eyes only stayed on King Robert Baratheon for a while, and then moved to the huge team from King's Landing ahead.
He was recalling the few memories in his memory, trying hard to identify the people in the luxurious team in the distance.
Riding on a white horse, wearing a burgundy exquisite robe, he looked like a thin young boy, but he had short blond hair, and his handsome face was slightly gloomy, with a hint of violence.
Looking at the blond boy protected by many guards around him, he should be King Robert Baratheon and the Queen's eldest son and heir "Joffrey Baratheon". Joffrey is nicknamed "Eternal Emperor" The great emperor.
Recognized Joffrey Baratheon.
Morgan's eyes wandered among the King's Landing team again.
Soon, he found another person who matched his memory.
A young man stood in front of a group of fully armed guards. He was wearing a light golden body and mighty armor. He had short golden hair that was slightly longer than Joffrey. He was tall and handsome.
This should be Jaime Lannister, the twin brother of Queen Cersei Lannister and the real father of "Joffrey Baratheon".
After recognizing these two people.
Morgan continued to observe the large procession in King's Landing.
It's just a pity that he didn't recognize more people.
No, wait...
When he looked at the dog-headed helmet, he revealed a half-disfigured, ugly and terrifying face, a tall middle-aged man covered in black mail armor.
Another name "Hound Dog" immediately popped into Morgan's mind.
It's just that he has a vague impression of this knight with obvious facial features and nicknamed "Hound Dog", but he can't remember much.
Even the real name of this "hound".
Morgan couldn't remember either.
I only know that the other person is called "Hound Dog", and he seems to be a very chivalrous guy.
Although he doesn't seem to be a knight.
Morgan's eyes continued to wander.
Soon, he saw in the corner of the huge team, a figure wearing a brown short robe, with short, thick light blond hair, and a short figure like a child, quickly walked into the crowd beside him.
Even though I only saw it once.
Morgan still clearly recognized the person just now.
The dwarf figure who followed the team in King's Landing and was only a few years old was as tall as a child. Except for the "Tyrion Lannister" who was nicknamed the "little devil" and the "half-man", there could be no other person.
Tyrion Lannister is also the biological brother of Jaime Lannister and Queen Cersei Lannister.
at this time.
Among the large queue in King's Landing, the door of the huge and luxurious carriage was finally opened.
Immediately afterwards.
One after another, the maids walked out of the carriage and stood neatly on both sides of the carriage.
Finally, when the last young maid walked out of the carriage.
Behind him, a charming and beautiful lady wearing a golden luxurious robe, tall, with fair skin, charming green eyes, and beautiful long golden wavy hair walked out of the carriage.
At this moment, Morgan's eyes immediately focused on this beautiful woman with perfect figure, appearance, and temperament.
"Cersei Lannister..."
The eldest daughter of Lord Tywin of House Lannister of Casterly Rock; sister of Jaime Lannister and Tyrion Lannister; mother of Joffrey Baratheon; King Robert Baratheon His wife is also the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.
For this one.
Morgan was still very impressed.
"Caitlin, long time no see..."
"His Majesty..."
"You must be Robb..."
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
"Look, she's so beautiful, she's such a beauty..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty..."
"May I have your name?"
"Arya..."
In front of the team in Winterfell, King Robert Baratheon and his old friend Eddard Stark exchanged greetings with each other after reminiscing about old times.
At this time.
Queen Cersei Lannister, wearing a light golden luxurious robe, also walked up to everyone in Winterfell.
Eddard Stark and other members of the Stark family immediately saluted the queen.
"What's your name again?"
On the side, King Robert Baratheon was standing in front of the youngest Stark member.
"My name is Rickon, His Majesty Stark... Your Majesty, just call me Rickon."
"This sword is good. Do you want to be a warrior in the future?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I am training every day and working hard for this..."
"Haha, not bad, then grow up quickly..."
Robert Baratheon smiled and touched Rickon Stark's little head, then looked at his old friend and said: "Ed, take me to your family's underground tomb, I want to pay tribute. "
The words fell.
Queen Cersei Lannister's expression changed slightly as she was greeting Catelyn Tully, Duchess of Winterfell. She immediately looked at her husband and said, "We have been traveling for nearly two months. Let's rest first."
"The cemetery won't run away there, and it will be the same if we go there later."
After hearing what the queen's wife said, Robert Baratheon just glanced at his wife with a blank expression.
Then he signaled to Ed Stark and took the lead in walking towards the direction of the Stark family's underground tomb.
The king's lack of respect for the queen made everyone in Winterfell nearby, especially the host Eddard Stark and his wife Catelyn Tully, feel very embarrassed.
However, the disagreement between the king and the queen did not become public knowledge.
But it's still very clear to Ed Stark's level.
Eddard Stark glanced at the queen, and then strode towards the king.
Only the ignored Queen Cersei Lannister was left.
Watching the two people walking away quickly.
Cersei Lannister's face quickly turned ugly.
She had long been disgusted with the bastard King Robert Baratheon, and she only had hatred.
After all, for a man who called out the names of other women when Robert Baratheon was lying on top of her on her wedding night, and who continued to domestically abuse her after the marriage.
She had given up long ago.
Queen Cersei Lannister looked ugly.
Standing aside, the Duchess of Winterfell, Catelyn Tully, and the Stark family children felt even more embarrassed.
Fortunately it was very quick.
The queen looked ugly and turned around to walk towards the King's Landing team.
The Stark family and everyone was relieved.
Morgan stood behind the Stark family members.
I saw with my own eyes that King Robert Baratheon showed no respect to everyone around him and almost completely ignored his wife.
And Queen Cersei Lannister showed a very obvious dissatisfaction and ugly look in public.
He realized that the relationship between the two was worse than he imagined.
With the departure of the king and host.
This warm and embarrassing grand welcoming ceremony was finally over.
Because the Stark family has been preparing for the team from King's Landing for more than half a month.
At this time, Queen Cersei Lannis, her son Joffrey Baratheon, and a group of team members were quickly arranged into the rooms prepared in advance.
The assembled group quickly dispersed.
Morgan stood in the square in front of the main castle and looked at the people who were dispersing. Suddenly, an exquisite and beautiful oak pipe and bagged tobacco appeared out of thin air in his hand.
at this time.
"Morgan..."
A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Morgan turned his head and looked at the figure walking behind him, playing with the pipe very naturally in his hand and skillfully filling it with shredded tobacco.
"How about we go get a drink?"
Jon Snow approached Morgan and continued to speak.
Looking at Jon Snow, who looked not very good-looking, Morgan smiled, put the filled pipe in his mouth, lit it, took a big drag, exhaled smoke with a hint of tobacco scent, and then asked :"What's wrong?"
"Why do you suddenly want to drink?"
"Bad mood?"
Morgan knew that although the man in front of him also drank, he didn't drink much. He was not someone who drank all the time like him.
"I just want to drink."
Jon Snow shook his head. The news he had just been told made him feel very bad. At this time, he just wanted to drink to relieve his worries.
"That's okay..."
Morgan looked at Jon carefully and nodded: "Where to drink?"
Jon Snow: "Go to the kitchen... No, go to my place..."
"How about changing to another place?"
After hearing what the other party said, Morgan said immediately.
Speaking of which, although Winterfell is large, the environment is also very good.
But there is no tavern.
The kitchen in the inner castle is very large and functions like a tavern.
But it's not really a tavern.
Morgan drank in the kitchen several times and felt that the atmosphere was much worse than that of a noisy and lively pub.
"Where?"
Jon Snow asked immediately.
"It's still early. How about going to the winter resort town in the outer city, the Warm Winter Tavern?"
Morgan continued: "The atmosphere there is warm, and the feeling of drinking is completely different from drinking in the kitchen."
Jon Snow nodded: "Okay, then go there."
Just leave.
The two of them immediately walked towards the inner city gate.
Since becoming the swordsman of the Stark family, there is no longer any obstacle for Morgan to enter and exit the inner and outer cities.
The soldiers guarding the city did not stop him and greeted Morgan respectfully and politely.
Morgan took Jon Snow out of the inner city and headed straight for the Winter Tavern in the winter town.
Although Jon Snow has lived in Winterfell since he was very young.
But the number of times he entered the tavern that had been opened in the winter town was definitely not as many as Morgan's.
It's only noon.
When Morgan arrived at the Winter Tavern with Jon Snow, the tavern was almost full.
The tavern owner and bartender had already met Morgan, the new swordsman of the Stark family who had been to the tavern several times in the past few days.
He also got to know Jon Snow, the illegitimate son of the Duke.
Without saying anything, the tavern owner was very polite and made a nice table for the two of them.
When the food ordered is served, the beer is served.
Jon Snow picked up the tall beer glass and drank it in one gulp.
"You can say it now..."
Morgan said as he accompanied him with a glass of wine.
Jon Snow put down the wine glass, wiped the wine stains from his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "You know there will be a grand banquet tonight, right?"
"certainly."
Morgan nodded.
The Duke's banquet for the King and Queen would begin at dark.
Of course he knows.
And not long ago, he had been told to attend the banquet on time.
Now hear Jon Snow's words.
Morgan immediately thought of something.
"But just now, Lady Stark told me..."
Jon Snow continued to speak, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, but more importantly, helplessness, deep helplessness: "Illegitimate children cannot sit with the king and queen to participate in the banquet, saying that it is disrespectful to the king and queen."
After saying that, Jon once again picked up the wine glass that the tavern maid had just refilled and began to drink.
"really..."
Hear Jon Snow's words.
Morgan knew in his heart that he now understood more and more the status of illegitimate children in this world.
That's really low, very low.
So what if he is the illegitimate son of the Duke of Winterfell.
This is one of the reasons why Jon Snow is willing to get closer to Morgan.
Morgan didn't treat him any differently because he was an illegitimate child.
"Then what are your plans for the future?"
Morgan picked up the wine glass and touched it with Jon Snow. After drinking it in one gulp, he spoke.
"from now on..."
After hearing Morgan's words, Jon Snow was silent for a moment and then gave his answer: "I want to go to the Great Wall."
The words fell.
Morgan was silent.
It had been several days since he had joined Winterfell.
Naturally, I understand what Jon Snow means.
The Great Wall he refers to is the "Great Wall of Despair".
The Great Wall: It is a huge and incomparable fortification made of ice and snow located in the far north of the Seven Kingdoms.
It stretches from the Frostfang Mountains in the west to Seal Bay in the east, dividing the kingdom from the wildling lands. It is one of the nine man-made wonders of the entire world.
Such an important Great Wall, of course, has its own team stationed there: the "Night Watch."
Night Watch: A regiment dedicated to guarding the Great Wall.
Jon Snow just wants to join the Night's Watch.
By coincidence, the youngest brother of Eddard Stark, Duke of Winterfell: Benyan Stark is the chief ranger of the Night's Watch.
If Jon Snow wants to join the Night's Watch, it's all a matter of words.
Jon spoke at this time, obviously thinking about it for a long time.
...
This is a drink.
The two of them drank until dusk.
When Morgan and Jon Snow stepped out of the Warm Winter Tavern, they were preparing to return to the inner castle to attend the evening feast.
He suddenly saw the front door of a brothel not far from the tavern.
A dwarf figure was walking out, surrounded by several prostitutes in thinly clad clothes.
