The brocades and tapestries in the Throne Hall were taken away and piled in a random corner, and the marble columns were bare.

The Royal Council was held here today. Joffrey Baratheon sat high on the Iron Throne, and the Kingsguard guarded the high platform under the Iron Throne in the shape of a crescent. Rogar, Tommen, and Myrcella stood with their mother. Behind the Imperial Guard Marin Tran, Regent Ed Stark sat on the weirwood chair on the other side of the high platform under the Iron Throne, and the rest, Minister of Finance Petyr, Chief of Intelligence Varys, and Sea Minister Stan Nice and Grand Maester Pycelle sat on both sides of the high platform.

Behind the throne, there are the Lannister guards, and on both sides of the throne room are the City Watch and Winterfell Guards, with red, gold and gray cloaks clearly distinguishing each other.

The steward sang, "Greetings, King of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord Joffrey I of House Baratheon and Lord of the Realm, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Warden of the Realm."

Joffrey stood up: "I order the imperial council to prepare for my coronation at full speed. I hope to complete the coronation within two weeks. Today I will accept the oath of service from the ministers first."

Everyone knelt down on one knee in a prayer posture, and the regent first said: "I, Ed Stark".The others followed: "I, Stannis Baratheon", "I, Petyr Baelish", "I, Maester Pycelle"...

Everyone recited the oath together: "Tell the seven gods, I am sworn to serve King Joffrey Baratheon I of Westeros today. I want to say to all the living and the dead that I will serve me faithfully." My lord, please give my advice, fulfill all my obligations as a subject, and never deceive, please witness the gods in the sky."

Joffrey laughed loudly, with a hoarse voice like a wild duck, and said: "I, Joffrey I Baratheon, hereby declare that I accept your oath, and I swear to love and respect you forever, listen to faithful advice, It is a fair judgment, and it will never fail. Now, please get up."

Everyone got up and thanked.

The swearing-in ceremony is over.

Everyone walked out of the throne room.Joffrey said proudly: "It's really fun to be a king"

Cersei looked at him dotingly: "My son must be a wise king."

Joffrey: "But where is Renly, and he didn't come to take the oath."

Renly is our uncle, Rogar thought numbly.

Cersei: "The maester received a letter saying that he brought the youngest son of the Tyrell family back to Storm's End, and he didn't come here today."

Joffrey: "Hmph, let the maester send a letter to him immediately, and tell him to roll over and serve him. When he comes over, I will punish him for his disrespect, and then announce that Storm's End will be taken back."

Cersei: "Oh, this has to be done slowly, the lords of the Stormlands are very supportive of him..."

Joffrey: "I say I will, I am the king, and the whole kingdom must listen to me!"

Cersei: "Little Jo..."

Joffrey: "It's 'Your Majesty'".

Luo Jia was walking alone on the road, and the guards were waved back by him.

Passing by under the Prime Minister's Tower, a person came towards her. She saw him and greeted him, "Hey, Luo Jia"

It was Arya, disheveled and disheveled in a dirty leather vest, with a thin sword in her hand.

Rogar laughed, and Arya smiled sheepishly, too.

Arya put back her smile and said: "I'm so sorry, your father passed away, it must have been hard for you."

Luo Jia restrained his face and said seriously: "Thank you for your concern."

Arya: "We are friends, although, I didn't care much about you."

Luo Jia: "What are you holding?"

Arya: "It's my baby. Jon gave it to me. I named it Needle."

Luo Jia looked down, the handle and weight were designed to be suitable for a ten-year-old girl.He nodded and gave it back to her.

Arya looked at him again and said nonchalantly, "You're going to be all right?"

Luo Jia: "No. What about you?" He asked without thinking.

Arya weighed the sword in her hand: "I won't either. I'm going back to Winterfell soon. Dad sent a boat to take Bran and me back, and Sansa will stay and be queen."

Luo Jia was surprised: "Are you leaving?"

Arya nodded, looking at her feet: "Yeah, I'm homesick. I miss Robb and Rickon, Mom, Jon, and Hodor...everyone has changed here. I'm going back, Just like before, watching Rickon and Bran laughing, watching Robb practicing sword, and riding a horse."

Rogar smiled and stroked Arya's hair: "That's great."

Arya blushed: "I'll write to you, you need to write back"

Luo Jia: "I promise."

Arya turned and went back, and Rogar stood there for a while.Sweeping servants and laundry maids came and went on the road.

An elm leaf floated down and he caught it.

When he looked up, there was a man standing opposite him.Luo Jia was shocked in his heart, and his face remained calm.

The little man bowed and greeted: "Your Highness, good day. I am going to find the Prime Minister, do you want to go together?"

Roga shook his head: "No need, Lord Petyr. I'm just passing by."

Petyr smiled and said, "Passing by? Then I won't bother you, let me take my leave first." He bowed and walked away.

Luo Jia looked at his back in puzzlement.He held a paper bag in his hand, which contained what looked like a wine bag.

On the day Arya and Bran left, Rogar went to the dock to see him off.Arya is delighted, Bran is somewhat reluctant.

"Because I can take my master Syrio Forel with me, but Bran can't take his master away." Arya gloated to Rogar.

Bran glared at them, sitting on the deck annoyed.On the deck stood more than 20 Winterfell guards wearing direwolf badges.The captain is yelling at the boatmen who are busy back and forth.

After Bran came to King's Landing, he studied under Ser Barristan very hard.Ser Barristan, as Captain of the Kingsguard, could not follow Bran back to Winterfell.

Luo Jia looked at the wild girl with wide eyes and smiled habitually.

Lord Ed and his children embraced one by one, with vicissitudes of face, he said to Bran: "Take care of your sister", and said to Arya: "Take care of your brother", and then said: "Be sensible when you go back, help Your mother and Robb take care of things."

The two nodded.

Lord Ed said: "What is our family motto?"

"Winter is coming," the two replied solemnly.

Lord Ed nodded: "You must keep it in mind." He seemed to want to say something else.Finally let go of the children's shoulders, "Okay, let's go"

Arya's eyes suddenly filled with tears: "Dad, we will do well. You have to eat on time. Remember to answer our letter, no, you have to go home early."

Lord Ed nodded silently.

Bran also quickly said: "I will take good care of my mother and sister, and I will help Robb."

Master Ed nodded wearily: "Good boy, I believe in you."

With the sound of the horn, the ship sailed.

Lord Ed looked at the "Miss Lyanna" setting sail, as if something had been unloaded from her body.Turning around, he said, "Your Highness, let's go too."

Luo Jia: "Okay, my lord." Looking at the blue water, he thought as he walked, that after the coronation ceremony, he should go back to Ismond Island.
