[A Song of Ice and Fire] Roga

The day came when Roja left.They boarded the boat from the Linhe Gate. Because the road was full of mud, the people of King's Landing called it Mud Gate.The banner of the Crowned Stag fluttered above his head, and Rogar, in his black and gold tunic, and a yellow and black-trimmed cloak embroidered with the Crowned Stag, inlaid with onyx and pearls, rode on his horse.Behind him was Sir Alex Oakheart, the Kingsguard, ten knights, and a dozen maids and servants.

Father went ahead in the royal coach, and Mother took Joffrey and Tommen and Myrcella in another, a fine mahogany coach.

The team came to the port of Heishui River, and Luo Jia bid farewell to his father and queen mother.After the High Septon blessed him, he boarded the Seasharp, where his brother and sister bid him farewell, and Joffrey nodded perfunctorily.Tommen was in tears, and Rogar hugged his chubby little brother and wiped away his tears.Myrcella smiled softly and said, "Brother will return as soon as possible after being knighted." He agreed, and lovingly rubbed his sister's blond hair.

The farewell ceremony is over.

With the sound of the horn, the Lion Star and the Sea Flower sailed out of the embankment and went down the river to clear the way for the Sea Swift.Greenstone followed behind.There was a burst of cheers from the crowd, and "Long live King Robert", "Long live Prince Rogar" and "Bless the Seven Gods" were faintly heard.

Roja stood on the deck and looked at his family.Ser Arys Oakheart stood behind him, his white robes fluttering in the wind.

The captain ordered the hawser to be let go, and the oars propelled the Seaswift into the rapids of the Blackwater, sailing to leeward--

House Ismond is a noble belonging to the Stormlands, ruling an island south of Shipbreaker Bay, "Esmond's Isle" - an island outside Cape Wrath in the Stormlands.It is small and mountainous.The Greenstone City, home of the Ismond family, is located at the southernmost tip of the island.

The family sigil is a dark green turtle on a light green background.The current Earl Elton Eastmond is 70 years old. His sister, Lady Cassana, is the mother of King Robert, Duke Renly, and Duke Stannis. Unfortunately, she and her husband Stephen Baratheon were in a shipwreck Died in Shipwreck Bay.

There is no city on the island. There are several small villages in the interior and several fishing villages near the sea.

Life in Greenstone City was very peaceful. Earl Elton was too old to move, and usually stayed in his room most of the time.He asked his family to take more care of Luo Jia.

Roja's life was particularly regular. In the morning, he had breakfast with his personal guards in the "Prince's Tower" (the name was given by a relative nicknamed "Seagrass Head"), went to learn from the bachelors on the island, and changed into Leather vests and chain mail practiced pistol and short sword with the instructor in the school yard.At the beginning, relatives from all walks of life cheered and shouted. Under his strong protest, they just watched and stopped making embarrassing flattery.

Here, he sometimes toured the nearest hills with Sir Aemon Ismond, Earl Elton's eldest son and heir.Sometimes they will go to the port wharf, unlike the colorful, noisy, and mixed flavors at the mouth of the Blackwater River; it is relatively deserted here, and the air smells very strong. The market vendors only sell here for half a day, and the rest of the day put away their goods Go home and farm.

Rogar followed Sir Aemon up and down, watching them chat about the weather, harvest, marriage and other topics. After the conversation, Sir Aemon ordered someone to buy some fresh sea fish, clams and scallops from the vendors every time.The sailors on the few ships on the pier were making dirty jokes with each other, and the words were blown away by the sea breeze.

A lord must understand his people and care about their lives in order to win their love.Ser Aemon said so to Rogar.

This small island is like "Neverland" in a book he has read.

If nothing unexpected happens, this kind of life can continue until he becomes an adult and becomes a knight.

The peaceful life lasted for half a month, and was broken one day.

Black wings, bring black messages.

When the raven flew over, Prince Roja was sparring with his attendants in the school grounds. Even though he was not interested in it, he was still practicing the upward and downward slashing, dodging, turning around and slashing again.The head coach, Sir Desmond, praised that he would soon be able to practice one-to-many sparring.

Lord Esmond sent his valet to invite him.

He went into the study, and the maester was there.Sir Esmond looked sad, asked the maester to hand him a roll of parchment, and said, "I am sorry, Your Highness, this is very sad news, for you and me, and for the whole kingdom. The gods are cruel."

King Robert was unfortunately pierced by a wild boar during a hunt, and died after being carried back to the palace.The nation mourns.

The king left a will, setting up his eldest son, Joffrey Baratheon, as the new king, and Lord Eddard Stark as the regent and guardian of the whole territory.

Luo Jia couldn't believe it, carefully read the above content over and over again, touched the seal below, and turned it inside out several times.He didn't realize he was crying until the writing on it started to blur.He wiped away his tears and stood up, "I'm sorry, my lord, I have to go back to see my father."

Sir Alyn next to him stepped forward and bowed, "Your Highness, I know how you feel, and I am truly sorry for you. Don't worry, we will arrange a speedboat to take you back to King's Landing immediately."

Rogar missed his father's funeral.

The king's body was laid to rest in the Sept of Baelor for seven days.It has been more than ten days since Luo Jia arrived at King's Landing.The king has been buried.

The Baylor Cathedral has to walk through a long corridor from the gate to enter the interior of the church.This corridor is known as the "Hall of Lights".Luo Jia had an illusion that at the end of this long road, his father would sit there, holding a glass of wine and saying, "You're back?"

The smell of death still lingers inside the Great Sept, and the clocks on the seven crystal towers ring on time every day to mourn the passing of the king.

Under the magnificent marble dome, the merciful face of the Virgin looked down on the floor below. Rogar turned his head, lit a candle at the Warrior, then lit another candle at the Stranger, and finally came to the statue of the Father , looking up at the balance, also lit a candle.

"Heavenly Father is omniscient, and the sins of the world cannot escape judgment." The Archbishop said reverently.

Rogar wanted to tell the fat old man to shut up.

He stayed for a long time, Sir Alex came in worriedly, glanced at him, and urged him: "Prince, you haven't eaten all day, and the queen mother ordered someone to tell you to return to the Red Castle."

Queen Mother.Luo Jia felt a fire welling up in his heart, he opened his mouth, wanting to yell at him, wanting to tell him to fuck off.

Taking a deep breath, he said coldly, "Got it."

They came out of the Great Sept of Baelor.

Ride down the Visenya Hills.Along the way, I passed blacksmiths working in front of the forge, and there was the sound of "jingle, clang, clang, clang" from the nearby blacksmith shop.Carriages rumbling past, iron dealers selling old iron knives.

Then turn to the market square next to the Linhe Gate. There are fruit sellers pushing two-wheeled carts, merchants hawking in front of the shops, and a group of ragged children on the street.

Nothing has changed here.

It's ridiculous, the king is dead and nothing has changed here.

Why are these people still alive, Luo Jia thought, why the gods took my father away, while your relatives are still alive.

It would be great if King's Landing could be submerged by sea water, and it would be washed away...

It doesn't matter, everyone is mortal anyway.

If I can see my father again after death, he will definitely slap me to the ground, knowing that I had these vicious thoughts.Then kick me to the bachelor's place for a good education.

"Where do people go after death?" Roga murmured.

The guards looked at each other, but no one answered.

"My condolences, Your Highness," said Ser Arys, nonsense.
