"You are not interested in power and honor? Then why do you still stay in the North? And why do you choose to be loyal to Arya?
Gary's eyes had a hint of scrutiny and he asked repeatedly.
Sandor was very honest, "I need Gold Dragon, so I am loyal to your sister."
"Oh? So your allegiance is not to Arya·Stark, but to Gold Dragon?" Although Gary had already guessed the result, he still felt unhappy.
He took off the animal skin money bag from his waist and poured the Gold Dragon inside on the snow. Then he put the animal skin money bag away and hung it back on his waist.
"Take these Gold Dragon and leave."
Sandor glanced at the Gold Dragon on the ground, "Your Majesty, Princess Arya promised to give me five hundred Gold Dragon, but there are only more than thirty Gold Dragon on the ground, which is not enough."
Gary said with an indifferent expression, "I will give you another gold product worth five hundred Gold Dragon. After you get the gold, you will leave tonight."
Jon transferred all the treasures handed over by Wildlings to Gary, including many rare collectibles and a lot of gold products.
Sandor was hesitant, but he still understood the difference between a full meal and a full meal. Especially after seeing the strong background of King in the North, he became more determined to stay at the North.
He couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, just because I told the truth, are you going to drive me away? In this world, there are no knights who are loyal to the lord for honor and oaths. Those knights speak grandly, but in fact they have other purposes. Women, Gold Dragon, and rights are the objects of their true allegiance."
Gary replied coldly, "No, the reason why you lost this job was not because you told the truth, but because you were not sincere enough."
Sandor laughed angrily and couldn't help but uttered a curse word, "Not sincere enough? WTF? Forgive me, Your Majesty, I have been sincere enough."
Gary reiterated his question, "I ask you again, why do you stay at the North? Why are you loyal to Arya?"
Without waiting for Sandor to answer, he waved his hand and said, "Don't say it's because of Gold Dragon. You are a warrior with superb sword skills. Now the North Riverlands are caught in the flames of war. This is a good opportunity for you to show your talents. Even if you don't find a lord to be loyal to, you can still become a Mercenary, and you can still make a lot of Gold Dragon."
Sandor explained depressedly, "Yes, your Majesty is right. But the problem is, Lannister put a bounty on my head, and now all the Mercenarys of Westeros want to take my head to claim the bounty. I can't work with them, so how can I become Mercenary?"
He further added, "One more thing, as long as any lord accepts my allegiance, they will directly offend House Lannister. No one will be willing to disobey Tywin·Lannister for a the Hound."
"Except the North and Riverlands, who were originally enemies of Lannister."
Gary did not accept Sandor's reasons, but he admired the Hound's fighting power and decided to keep him.
"You can stay at the North, but I will transfer you to the Ice Samurai Order so that you can be useful and no longer have to follow the little girl around."
Unexpectedly, Sandor rejected Gary's arrangement, "Your Majesty, I don't want to join the Ice Samurai Order. Princess Arya is my allegiance, and I want to continue to protect her."
Gary squinted his eyes, this the Hound is not a lolita, right? "Huh? Why do you have to stay with Arya? Do you have other purposes?"
Sandor is also a man, and he immediately understood the look in Gary's eyes. He knew that there were many fat-headed aristocrats who liked little boys and girls, but he was not such a person.
He spat on the ground, as if he was spitting on those people.
"Your Majesty misunderstood, I don't have that idea."
Sandor sat down on the grass feeling very disappointed, "I have seen three kings in my life. The first one likes to burn people with fire, the second one ignores state affairs and sleeps with women day and night, and the third one likes to torture small animals and likes to let his men beat his fiancée. I have had enough and no longer want to protect the king. I swear allegiance to Arya·Stark, I am also willing to fight for the North, but I don't want to stay in the service of the king."
He was tired, physically and mentally exhausted.
Compared to nobles who are keen on intrigues, he prefers to stay with the simple and kind-hearted Arya. At least Arya can make his impetuous heart return to peace.
After being reminded by Sandor, Gary suddenly remembered a scene in the TV series "Game of Thrones". Joffrey would often beat and torture Sansa because of Robb·Stark's successive victories on the front line.
Sometimes, Joffrey would also let Kingsguard whip Sansa, while he would sit on Iron Throne and enjoy it.
As for whether Sandor had done anything, Gary couldn't remember clearly, "You have done so too?"
"No!"
Sandor felt inexplicably angry, "Your Majesty, I kill people like crazy and do whatever it takes, even killing defenseless women and children. But I'm not a coward, I will admit what I have done."
Gary finds it strange that Sandor is willing to kill women and children, so why is he unwilling to beat Sansa?
"You were still at Red Keep at that time, and you were Joffrey's loyal dog. Would a dog really disobey its owner's orders for Sansa?"
Sandor said very stubbornly, "I have never hurt Sansa·Stark, not even once."
He once saved Sansa's life from the mob, and even thought of helping Sansa escape from King's Landing and sending her back to the North. Unfortunately, Sansa rejected him.
Gary saw some clues, "Do you love her?"
"What?" Sandor didn't respond and was stunned.
Gary raised his lips, "The person you like is Sansa. This is the real reason why you protected Arya all the way."
Sandor looked a little embarrassed, and he quickly denied. "No, I don't love her, I just... want to have sex with her."
Gary's eyes widened, you bastard, and you still said that you are not a lolicon? Sansa is only fourteen.
"In short, I already know your thoughts, please stay with peace of mind. Waiting for the North to settle down, I will include you in the rescue team of Sansa."
Sandor was slightly surprised, "You are going to rescue Sansa·Stark? She is now the wife of Tyrion·Lannister, and she is in King's Landing surrounded by heavy troops. How do you save her? Are you going to ride Dragon there?"
Gary praised this wise idea, "Ah, you have a good idea. There are giant crossbow arrows on King's Landing's city wall. My Dragon is still in the growth stage. Its scales are not hard enough, so it should be injured, right?"
Sandor smiled awkwardly, "No matter what, I will join your rescue team."
As the sky gradually darkened, Gary said, "Put the rescue team aside for now. Arya will enter the mountains on the west side tomorrow to find the mountain clan. You have to explore the way for her and get some rest early."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left.
