Chapter 257 I Will Fight For Lord Stark! 【Subscribe】

Winterfell Castle.

In the banquet hall.

As time passed slowly.

The atmosphere in the originally noisy hall became more and more enthusiastic.

corner of the hall.

The Duke of Winterfell, Ed Stark, who was the host, was leaning against a corner where no one was paying attention, quietly watching the noisy and lively hall.

"After so many years, you still haven't been able to adapt to this kind of banquet."

Benyan Stark, who was dressed in a black robe and taller than Ed Stark by a few points, looked at his brother beside him and smiled.

"I can't get used to it for the rest of my life."

Eddard Stark shook his head.

He really didn't like this kind of rowdy banquet.

But as the guardian of the north and the Duke of Winterfell, how could this kind of banquet be rare for him.

That is, under normal circumstances, he tried his best to avoid attending banquets.

But today he couldn't miss the welcome banquet for the king and queen.

That is to say, he drank a glass of wine with His Majesty the King and the Queen at the beginning today.

Other dinner parties are handed over to his wife Caitlin and son Robb to deal with.

He stayed in the hall to feel such a noisy scene and still felt a little at a loss.

However, his status is high enough, and no one who is not open-eyed dares to ask him for a drink.

"By the way, do you know the young soldier I executed?"

At this time, Ed Stark thought of something, turned to look at his brother beside him and asked.

Hearing his brother's question, Benyan Stark immediately knew what he was asking, nodded and said, "I know."

"He's an ordinary soldier."

"But he's not a coward, Ed. I know him better than you do."

Benyan Stark said softly.

Of course he knew about the desertion of the night watchman soldier.

"But you listen to the ridiculous things he says."

"He said that the companion who was traveling with him was actually killed by a different ghost."

"The White Walkers have disappeared for thousands of years"

Eddard Stark shook his head.

Benyan Stark interrupted: "But those two soldiers are indeed missing."

Ed Stark: "Maybe it was attacked by wildlings."

Benjen Stark: "Maybe"

"The direwolf's rare appearance south of the Great Wall, the rumors of the White Walker reappearing, and my brother's upcoming chancellor."

"Winter is coming."

Benyan Stark sighed.

"Yes, winter is coming"

Ed Stark replied softly, looking deeply at the king who was hugging a woman in the center of the hall.

"By the way, Ed, what do you think about Jon?"

Benyan Stark looked at his brother again and said, "He has grown up."

Hearing his younger brother mentioning Jon Snow, Ed Stark fell silent.

At this moment in this world, he is the only one who knows the true identity of Jon Snow.

He didn't tell anyone, not even his wife Caitlin Tully who had been sleeping with him for decades, he didn't want to tell anyone.

Just to protect the kid Jon.

Ed Stark was silent for a while, and then he looked at his younger brother: "Why did you suddenly ask this?"

Seeing his brother's silence, Benyan Stark didn't feel any other thoughts.

Bastard.

Even the Duke of Winterfell, the illegitimate son of the Governor of the North.

Over the years, Jon's child has also suffered too much grievance.

Just today, to welcome His Majesty the King's feast, most people in the entire Winterfell City were invited, but he was excluded.

When he came back to see Jon, he could already feel Jon's extremely wronged and depressed mind.

He watched Jon grow up and liked Jon's character.

Now that child is begging for himself.

He couldn't stand it anymore.

"Jon just told me that he wanted to go to the Great Wall"

Looking at his brother, Benyan Stark spoke softly.

The voice fell.

Ed Stark was silent again.

Jon said go to the Great Wall.

It must have been intended to be the Night's Watch.

Ed Stark thought of the oath of the night watchman almost instantly.

"The long night is coming, I will watch from now on until I die."

"I will take no wives, hold no lands, and bear no children"

This time, Ed Stark was silent for a long, long time
"Morgan, aren't you bored sitting around?"

"At a banquet, you should drink to your heart's content"

"Come on, cheers."

Thomson, the guard captain of the inner castle gate beside him, greeted Morgan who had just put down his wine glass again.

"Come"

With his current drinking capacity, he is not afraid of anyone.

He drank down a large glass of wheat beer again.

Morgan put down his wine glass and looked at the two long tables at the top again.

Looking at the long table not far away.

Looking at Robb Stark, the eldest son of Winterfell, and the two sisters Sansa Stark and Arya Stark, and the prince Joffrey Baratheon from King's Landing, Jaime Lannister, the Kingsguard and the queen's younger brother, and the others.

Morgan was thinking about whether he should do something to show his existence slightly.

But soon, he pressed his thoughts again.

This isn't Middle-earth.

In this world, apart from the false reputation of being a sharpshooter who has not yet spread to Winterfell, I have not made any other achievements and reputations.

In this hierarchical world, step forward rashly.

Doesn't do any good other than come across as impolite and rude.

When Duchess Caitlin Tully and Queen Cersei Lannister looked over just now.

He raised his glass in a quick reaction, which must have left a certain impression on the queen.

"It's too much."

Thinking of this, Morgan immediately calmed down.

at this time.

Morgan suddenly noticed that the host, Ed Stark, had left the corner of the hall at some point and was walking towards him.

at the same time.

On the long table not far away, Kingsguard Jaime Lannister, who was drinking alone, also stood up suddenly.

He was striding towards the road beside him.

No surprises.

Ed Stark and James Lannister met head-on when they walked to the crowded road behind Morgan.

He looked at the figure standing in front of him.

Ed Stark just glanced at the other party with a flat face, and was about to pass by.

It's just his movement.

James Lannister in front of him immediately followed suit.

Wherever Ed Stark goes, so does Jaime Lannister.

It seems to realize that the guy in front of him is doing it on purpose.

Ed Stark said calmly, "Let's go."

James Lannister, who came prepared, immediately looked at Eddard Stark in front of him and said, "I heard you're going to King's Landing?"

"is this real?"

"Then we can be neighbors."

Hearing the other party's agitated tone, Ed Stark glanced at James Lannister in front of him again, and said calmly, "Your news is correct, the king does have that intention."

The voice fell.

James Lannister smiled, and immediately said, "That would be great."

"It's such a good thing, but it needs to be celebrated."

"If you don't mind, let's hold a tournament."

"It's fine here, and it's fine in King's Landing"

"How about congratulating your new officer?"

"Just the two of us, I have wanted to have a real competition with you for a long time."

James Lannister looked at the Duke of Winterfell in front of him and said quickly.

Hear what the other person has to say.

Only then did Eddard Stark seriously look at the Kingsguard who was born in the Lannister family, but he never liked him.

As a member of the elite legendary guard "Kingsguard", which is only loyal to the king and created to protect the royal blood.

However, he betrayed his oath and attacked and killed Jaime Lannister behind the back of his loyal king "Mad King" Aerys Targaryen II.

This is from the point of view of Ed Stark, who attaches great importance to honor and chivalry.

Jaime Lannister, who bears such a bad name as "Kingslayer", cannot be forgiven.

This is why Ed Stark has always hated the queen's brother.

And for Jaime Lannister, who has been at odds with Ed Stark, the Duke of Winterfell, and hates him.

He killed the mad king who tortured Ed Stark's father and brother.

Ed Stark not only didn't thank him, but even reported him as black.

How could this be tolerated by James Lannister.

This is also the reason why James Lannister has always hated Eddard Stark and targeted him.

"I will not participate in the tournament."

Looking at Eddard Stark, the "King Slayer" in front of him, he smiled lightly and shook his head.

"why?"

James Lannister immediately asked, and provocatively said: "Could it be that you think you are too old?"

"Afraid of losing to me?"

Ed Stark continued to shake his head, and said: "I don't participate in the tournament, but I don't want to expose my strength when I really fight with others."

Looking at Eddard Stark with a calm face, James Lannister became more and more upset.

"That's really good."

"But don't you think it's because you're too old and too old to be confident?"

Looking at the Duke of Winterfell in front of him, Jaime Lannister was provocative to his heart's content, and looked at the frank confessor in front of him, mocking every word: "You are still worried, you are afraid that you will lose to me."

The voice fell.

Sitting aside, Morgan, who had been eavesdropping, finally couldn't help standing up, looked at the two people who were confronting each other and said, "Lord Stark"

"Morgan is willing to fight for adults if you agree."

The sudden sound made the faces of the two confronting each other change.

It's just that the moment Ed Stark heard Morgan's voice, he remembered Morgan's identity as a marksman and the powerful swordsmanship that had tortured all the warrior leaders in the entire Winterfell City, and immediately laughed.

But James Lannis' complexion changed, and the expression on his handsome face immediately became gloomy.

At this moment, Morgan stepped forward and came to the two of them.

Ed Stark turned his head and smiled at Morgan.

Then he looked at James Lannister and continued to smile, "Let me introduce you, Morgan, the best swordsman in our Winterfell city, and also a marksman."

"If you don't mind, we can indeed hold a tournament."

"It's fine here, and it's fine in King's Landing City."

Seeing the face of the "King Slayer" in front of him become ugly, Ed Stark smiled even more happily, and continued: "Of course, if you are afraid of losing, you can find someone else to replace you."

"I don't mind"

Ed Stark looked at James Lannister in front of him with a hearty smile and said with a smile.

Use the other party's words to counter the other party and mock the other party.

It's such a good feeling.

Looking at Ed Stark's increasingly disgusting face.

James Lannister will not be easily fooled.

"Sharpshooter, Swordsman"

Thinking of Ed Stark's words, he turned his head and glanced at the strange man beside him who answered the conversation.

Handsome, with a cold temperament.

It doesn't look like there's anything particularly different.

But based on his understanding of Ed Stark.

Although this old guy is annoying, he is by no means the kind of bluffing person.

The strange man in front of him should not be bad in strength.

He is the Kingsguard, the Kingslayer, and the Lion of Lannister.

Even though it's notorious now.

But it is definitely not comparable to the unknown man in front of him.

He never thought of becoming a stepping stone for others, especially if the other party was under the command of Eddard Stark, whom he hated the most.

"This is a contest between me and you, Lord Stark."

"Switch to someone else, then there would be no point in competing."

James Lannister looked at the Duke of Winterfell again and said.

"You are Lord James Lannister, right?"

At this time, Morgan's voice sounded again.

From looking at Eddard Stark's face, he quickly shifted to the tall and handsome blond man in front of him.

"it's me."

James Lannister nodded expressionlessly.

Morgan continued: "I know Your Excellency wants to challenge Lord Stark."

"But Lord Stark's status is extraordinary."

"Look at this. As Lord Stark's first companion, as long as I defeat me, I can challenge Lord Stark."

"The same rules, you can also bring one person to fight with you."

"Of course, if you defeat me, you can challenge Lord Stark. If I defeat your companion, I can also challenge you."

"Look at this kind of competition."

Morgan watched Jaime Lannister finish speaking in one breath, and then looked at Eddard Stark who didn't say hello in advance.

I saw that the other party was looking at the deflated James Lannister with a smile on his face.

"I also think the method Morgan said is good."

Seeing James Lannister who hesitated to speak, Eddard Stark immediately spoke.

He never thought of participating in the martial arts tournament.

But don't blame Morgan for being talkative.

Maybe Morgan has other thoughts, but his intention is to help himself.

Eddard Stark is well aware of this.

But Morgan's daring to say such a thing also shows that Morgan is very confident in his own strength.

That being the case.

How dare he not dare to compete with the Lannister family with Morgan.

Although the nicknamed "Magic Mountain", Gregor Clegane who was loyal to the Lannister family was indeed very strong.

But he has already seen Morgan's powerful strength.

What's more, he is still there.

"I'll think about it."

Hearing Eddard Stark's words, James Lannister glanced at the two people in front of him, then turned sideways to get out of the way, and walked forward.

"Sorry Lord Stark, I'm a little impulsive."

As soon as James Lannister left, Morgan immediately apologized to Ed Stark.

"No, Morgan, you did nothing wrong"

Ed Stark looked at Morgan with a smile and shook his head, and continued: "The Stark family has never been afraid of trouble."

"However, if you put it this way, the possibility of them agreeing to hold a martial arts tournament is not small."

"If that's the case, there's one person you need to remember, and he's probably your biggest opponent."

Morgan asked, "Who?"

Eddard Stark: "Gregor Clegane, nicknamed "The Magic Mountain"."
