"The child was found..."
"Right on Marksman Morgan's horse..."
"Hurry up!"
In the dim woods, a group of guards from King's Landing City behind immediately shouted, holding torches in their hands and chasing the figure galloping ahead.
Ahead, Morgan, who finally found Arya Stark, pulled the reins without saying a word. The "carrot" under him neighed, and immediately turned around and rushed in the other direction.
Such a dark night.
In the woods where the trees and thorns are quite dense.
Even if Morgan can see at night, he still has to work hard to control "Carrot" so as not to injure "Carrot" and allow the group of King's Landing guards behind him to catch up.
Although what I just said was full of momentum.
But those are the king's guards. Even though many of them come from Casterly Rock of the Lannister family, they are still the king's guards.
Morgan had no intention of conflicting with them unless he had to.
After all, I am not loyal to the Stark family as they say, let alone a retainer of the Stark family.
When he accepted the commission to hire a swordsman, he signed an employment agreement for an ordinary commission.
Although there were a lot of things that happened one after another, and Morgan's performance was just too good.
This made the Stark family take it seriously.
Morgan came to King's Landing to learn more about this country, not just to work for the Stark family, nor to offend the king for them.
After all, it was okay to offend Prince Joffrey Baratheon.
He is not yet a king, he is far from enough.
And if you offend King Robert Baratheon, even if Ed Stark, the Prime Minister, is here.
Morgan wouldn't feel safe in King's Landing.
He has always been cautious, and he dare not underestimate Robert Baratheon, the founding monarch who overthrew the Mad King's rule and established the Baratheon Dynasty.
Although because of his face, King Robert may not necessarily do anything to Morgan.
But Morgan never intended to depend on the kindness of others for his own safety.
As for when Joffrey Baratheon really becomes king.
It's hard to say whether Morgan was still in King's Landing at that time.
This is also the reason why he dared to offend Prince Joffrey.
"there..."
"Hurry up and chase..."
"Quickly..."
In the dark woods behind him, firelight flickered.
Knowing where the target was, all the guards from King's Landing who came out to look for it rushed forward.
But Morgan rode wildly through the woods.
Although the speed cannot be compared with the open wilderness outside, it is still very simple to get rid of a group of warriors running wildly on foot.
Although it was a bit painful for the orange horse "carrot" under him.
Even if Morgan can see night vision, he can see everything around him in the dark.
But for such a big horse running wildly in the woods, it would inevitably be injured by the sharp leaves or dead branches on both sides of the messy road.
"Carrot" groaned and gasped.
Morgan rode away from the pursuers behind him and rushed deep into the woods.
This forest is not very big.
He had observed before while riding in search of Arya.
As long as he passes through this forest, he can quickly return to the temporary rest camp and bring Arya Stark to Duke Eddard Stark.
This afternoon.
Because the blizzard has completely stopped and the weather has cleared up, and there is a reason why we won’t leave until tomorrow.
Many people in the motorcade came out and started activities on their own.
Arya, the wild child, couldn't stay still.
Morgan asked several guards from Winterfell to follow Arya and Sansa Stark.
It wasn't long before he let Arya Stark out of sight.
This is what happened.
To a certain extent, Arya's accident had something to do with Morgan.
After all, Ed Stark had personally explained it before.
Morgan also promised to take good care of the two young ladies of the Stark family.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
The sound of horse hooves came closer and closer, breaking the darkness and silence.
Morgan carried Arya Stark and quickly rushed out of the dark woods, heading towards the hazy and pale snowy wilderness.
at the same time.
In another dark forest.
A large number of figures swayed, and firelight flickered.
"Arya..."
At the front of the team, Eddard Stark held a burning oil-stained torch and shouted towards the surroundings.
The guards behind him were also shouting Arya Stark's name.
"Arya..."
Hearing no response from the surroundings, Ed Stark looked worried and anxious.
He already knew that the disappearance of his youngest daughter Arya was related to Prince Joffrey.
But no matter what happened between the two of them.
He wants to find his little daughter now.
Such a cold snowy night.
As the temperature continues to drop at night, you will freeze to death if you stay outside for a long time.
Besides, it was not known whether Arya was injured.
"Arya..."
Eddard Stark continued to shout.
at this time.
A horse galloped from behind.
"grown ups..."
As soon as the guard captain Kelson stopped his horse, he shouted to Ed Stark in front.
"Lord Stark, your daughter has been found!"
Kelsen's team jumped off their horses and immediately strode towards the tall figure in front of them.
At this time, Ed Stark finally heard the voice coming from behind. He turned to look at Kelson who was in a hurry and asked quickly: "Is Arya injured?"
"Where is she now?"
Facing the Duke's repeated questions, Kelson quickly walked up to Ed Stark and breathed heavily and said, "The news I just got."
"Miss Arya was found by Lord Morgan. She was found in front of the Lannister family."
"But the Lannister people failed to catch up with Lord Morgan..."
"I think Lord Morgan is probably already taking Miss Arya on his way back to the temporary rest camp."
Captain Kelson finished in one breath.
Ed Stark was greatly relieved when he heard Morgan's name.
But soon, after hearing what Kelson said, "Those members of the Lannister family failed to catch up with Morgan," his expression turned solemn.
Why are the Lannisters so anxious to find Arya?
Did something important happen?
All sorts of thoughts quickly flashed through his mind.
Ed Stark came to his senses immediately and said in a deep voice: "Let's go back, go back right away!"
"quick..."
Ed Stark's command sounded.
Soon, a group of Winterfell guards held oil-stained torches and headed quickly towards the camp under the leadership of the Duke.
"Bang bang bang..."
The distant sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility of the night.
Running in less than half a meter of snow is very dangerous.
But fortunately, the snow only fell in the past two days. The snow is soft and far less dangerous than solid snow.
"Arya, what happened?"
Morgan turned his head and glanced behind him, and saw that the back was completely silent and dark, with no fire in sight, and then he asked Arya Stark in front of him.
"Teacher Morgan, Joffrey bullied my friend and insulted you!"
Arya, who was sitting in front of Morgan, said angrily when she heard Morgan asked.
"what happened?"
"Tell me carefully and go through the process from beginning to end."
Morgan looked calm and looked at the little man in front of him and asked again.
"Okay, that's it..."
"Joffrey wounded my friend with his sword..."
"Joffrey also insulted the swordsmanship you taught me, Mr. Morgan..."
"I easily defeated Joffrey using the swordsmanship my teacher taught me..."
"Joffrey became furious..."
"At this time Nymeria rushed out and bit the hand of Joffrey who hated him..."
"As for the back, I ran away from the back..."
Arya Stark told everything in one breath.
Morgan finally understood the cause and effect, and then asked: "You said your direwolf bit Joffrey's hand?"
"Yes."
"Nymeria is very powerful, but I know this matter is serious, so I let Nymeria go, I let her go."
Arya Stark nodded and said.
Obviously, this rebellious child was not stupid. He realized the seriousness of biting His Highness and knew how to let the direwolf go.
"Since you hurt that prince Joffrey, we can't go back rashly like this..."
Morgan looked at the temporary rest camp with a huge fire flashing in the distance in front of him and suddenly said.
The reins in his hands were pulled immediately, and the "carrot" under him immediately slowed down and stopped quickly.
"If we don't go back, where will we go?" Arya asked immediately.
"Of course we go where we need to go."
Morgan said as he pulled the reins, and "Carrot" immediately turned the horse's head and continued towards the southern forest.
It's just that we were going in a completely different direction than when we came.
"Bang bang bang..."
The sound of horse hooves sounded again.
Arya sat quietly next to Morgan this time.
Today she just used a wooden stick to easily defeat Prince Joffrey who was holding an iron sword.
Let her realize that the swordsmanship taught by Morgan behind her is powerful.
This also made her respect Morgan even more, which is why she and her brother Brandon Stark called Morgan their teacher.
From today on, Arya is going to call Morgan her teacher, and will focus more on practicing the sword skills she learned from Teacher Morgan.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
The sound of horse hooves rumbled.
Shortly after Ed Stark rushed out of the woods with a torch and a group of guards behind him, he heard the sound of horse hooves ahead.
Soon, the figure of a horse quickly appeared in the dim and hazy snowy wilderness far ahead.
Ed Stark immediately greeted him.
"Lord Stark..."
Seeing the large amount of fire in front of the team, Morgan recognized the tall figure at the front from a distance and shouted.
"This is...this is Sir Morgan's voice!"
Captain Kelson, who was following Ed Stark, spoke quickly.
"I heard it."
"Quick, everyone, follow..."
Ed Stark nodded and said, clamping his horse's belly, and immediately accelerated forward.
Soon, when Morgan and Duke Ed's team met.
Arya Stark shouted excitedly when she saw her father.
Morgan put down Arya and watched the rebellious child quickly rush towards Eddard Stark.
The group of people did not stay long.
Soon, the large group headed towards the temporary rest camp again.
Morgan rode "Carrot" and walked beside Ed Stark, listening to Arya Stark repeating to her father the causes and consequences she had told Morgan before.
After hearing this, Ed Stark immediately turned to look at Morgan.
He felt that the Prime Minister next to him seemed to trust him more because he saved Arya this time.
Muttering in his heart, Morgan nodded and answered: "The character of His Royal Highness Prince Joffrey is indeed a bit 'weird'. I believe what Aelita said."
"Moreover, when I found Arya first, the reaction of the guards in King's Landing was a bit..."
Morgan said calmly.
When it comes to kings, queens and princes, Morgan's words are normal, but there are hidden meanings in his words.
Ed Stark heard it easily.
"I see..."
"Let's go back first."
Ed Stark nodded, pulled the reins, and the horse under him immediately accelerated and ran wildly.
When hearing what her daughter Arya said about her direwolf biting Prince Joffrey.
Ed Stark knew it was bad.
Queen Cersei Lannister, who was born into the Lannister family, dotes on Prince Joffrey very much.
Arya's direwolf bites Joffrey, which will surely make the queen furious.
In addition, the other party had clearly shown dissatisfaction with his coming to King's Landing City before.
Ed Stark knew he was in trouble this time.
But if you have trouble, you have to find a solution.
The only person in the huge team who could easily suppress the queen was the king and old friend Robert Baratheon.
"It seems that we have to go to His Majesty the King first..."
Ed Stark was galloping on horseback, looking calmly at the brightly lit temporary rest camp in the distance.
More than half an hour later.
Temporary camp, in the largest and most luxurious king's tent.
King Robert Baratheon sat alone.
Standing on the side were Arya led by Ed Stark, and Morgan following behind.
On the other side, stood the tall, fair-skinned Queen Cersei Lannister with golden waves.
Next to the queen stood the wrapped prince Joffrey, and the handsome Kingsguard Jaime Lannister, who was wearing golden armor.
"Everyone is here now."
"Tell you two, what happened today?"
The bloated Robert Baratheon changed his position on the wide seat and looked at the two children in front of him and asked.
"She and the Butcher's Apprentice attacked Joffrey, and she also had her pets attack Joffrey."
Arya and Joffrey, the parties involved, haven't spoken yet.
Queen Cersei Lannister, who was standing aside, couldn't wait to speak.
"Quiet, Queen..."
Robert Baratheon glanced at the queen beside him, and then looked at Arya: "Is that true?"
"it's not like that."
"He wanted to kill my friend, and Nymeria just bit him lightly."
Arya immediately retorted.
"I didn't want to kill him, but you two attacked me with wooden sticks and let the wolf bite me!"
As the person involved, Joffrey finally spoke and answered hurriedly.
But at this time, in the eyes of Morgan, Joffrey's posture and expression were far less arrogant than usual. Instead, he was obviously submissive and cowardly, and his voice was far less powerful than his opponent Arya.
"It's not like that at all!"
Arya shouted back again.
"That's it, you all attacked me together and threw my sword into the river."
Joffrey continued.
When it comes to lying, this is what he does best.
"You are a big liar!"
Arya immediately yelled at Joffrey.
"Shut up!"
Joffrey said equally loudly.
"enough!"
Seeing the two men yelling, King Robert Baratheon immediately shouted.
"You all have your reasons, who do I believe?"
"Was anyone else present?"
Robert Baratheon said and looked at the two children.
Arya quickly said: "Yes, there is also my friend, but he has been scared away."
Robert Baratheon immediately looked at the leader of the guard in King's Landing ahead, who immediately replied: "Still chasing him, we haven't caught him yet."
"Then there is no more..."
"If not, forget it..."
Robert Baratheon continued to speak, but before he finished speaking, Queen Cersei Lannister on the side intervened again: "Yes, Your Majesty, that Sansa is here."
Hearing this, Robert Baratheon looked at his old friend Eddard, and Eddard Stark immediately said: "Sansa...she has already fallen asleep."
"No, she's not asleep yet..."
The queen answered again, looked at the people behind and said with a smile: "Come here, dear Sansa..."
Look at the figure coming from behind.
Ed Stark immediately frowned.
Morgan stood aside and looked at Sansa Stark approaching, and the bad impression of her in her heart immediately fell to the bottom.
When Sansa Stark lied in front of her father and sister that she didn't see anything.
When Arya was extremely angry, she pulled her sister Sansa's hair and shouted that she was a liar.
Queen Cersei Lannister smiled.
at this time.
Kingsguard Jaime Lannister suddenly stepped forward and stood up, looked at the king above and said, "To celebrate Lord Stark's promotion to Prime Minister, the two of us are willing to compete in a tourney."
"What do you think, Lord Stark?"
