A few days later.
Gary After observing these days, we found that many mountain clans from other tribes came to this large tribe at the foot of the mountain one after another.
Moreover, Arya has never broken the ice core, which shows that things are most likely developing in a good direction.
Gary stopped watching and returned to the temporary camp next to Kingsroad with Drogon.
Inside the temporary camp.
There are two hundred Highgarden cavalry and more than forty Giants. Even if there are occasional bandits and wild beasts nearby, the safety of Margaery and others can be fully guaranteed.
Gary and Drogon landed in the camp. After Gary landed, the hungry Drogon flew away to look for food.
Margaery, Daenerys and others heard the noise and walked out of the tent. They stood at the door and looked at each other and smiled at Gary.
Gary came to the entrance of the camp and entered the tent with everyone.
Bran was very worried about the safety of Arya and kept asking about the trip.
Gary sat on the main seat and asked everyone to sit down. They sat around the fire, and the air suddenly became quiet.
"Arya's situation over there is normal. She didn't ask for help. The mountain clan is also gathering, which shows that she has most likely succeeded in convincing the mountain clan to send troops to help us."
Bran was finally relieved. He knew that Margaery had something to report to Gary, and he and Shireen left the camp knowingly.
Only three people, Gary, Margaery and Daenerys, were left in the camp.
"What's wrong?" Gary also saw that Margaery had something to say. Could it be that he had neglected them recently, so the two of them had a little mood?
Margaery is indeed a little emotional, but she understands the general situation and will not lose her temper because of this little thing.
Daenerys is even more well-behaved. She prays devoutly three times a day, and every prayer makes her feel closer to Gary. So even if Gary is not by her side, she can still feel the presence of Gary.
Margaery made a gesture to the Highgarden soldier outside the tent, and then said to Gary, "I want you to meet someone."
"Who?"
Gary is puzzled. Where did the other people come from here in the wilderness?
Margaery winked playfully and chuckled, "Yesterday afternoon, a girl came outside the camp on horseback. She saw the wolf flag in the camp and said she came to see Stark. But Bran doesn't know her, and she doesn't know Bran either."
Gary became even more confused after hearing what Margaery said.
At this moment, a tall and thin girl walked into the camp. She knelt down in front of Gary with a plop and begged, "Your Majesty Luke, please save House Karstark."
Gary observed the girl's appearance and clothes. She had a delicate appearance, slender fingers without calluses, and although her clothes were a little dirty, she was still decent.
This girl should be a the North noble.
"Who are you? What is your relationship with House Karstark?"
The girl raised her head slightly, not daring to look at Gary, "Your Majesty, my name is Yali·Karstark, and I am the daughter of Karhold's deceased Earl Rickard·Karstark."
Gary was a little surprised, and he became very interested, "You are a Karstark? Then why did you come to me? I remember that House Karstark had betrayed House Stark and took refuge in Bolton. What? Now that Bolton is destroyed, are you here to ask me to forgive Karstark?"
Yali Karstark looked panicked and hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, Karstark's direct descendants have never betrayed House Stark. My two brothers died for His Majesty Robb, and the eldest brother was captured by Lannister, My father was also executed by His Majesty Robb, leaving me the only direct descendant of Karhold."
Her eyes were full of fear, and her body was trembling, "It was my cousin Cregan·Karstark who controlled Karhold, and it was he who defected to Bolton. He also wanted to marry me and become Karhold Earl. I escaped."
Gary was silent for a moment and said, "So, your cousin has given up on redeeming your eldest brother. He wants to marry you and inherit Karhold himself?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Yali·Karstark secretly pinched her thighs, trying to calm herself down.
Gary didn't believe Yali·Karstark just because of her words.
"Whether what you said is true or not, I will send someone to investigate first. You can stay with Margaery for the time being and be a maid."
Yali·Karstark cried with joy, "Thank you for taking me in. I will serve Miss Tyrell with all my heart. I hope your majesty will not forget the sacrifice Karstark made for the North, and one day he can redeem my eldest brother."
Seeing her pity, Gary comforted her and said, "If your direct descendants really didn't betray House Stark, I will consider it."
Yali·Karstark leaned over and said, "Thank you for your majesty's kindness. House Karstark will always remember your majesty's kindness."
"Hmm."
Gary waved his hand, "Get up and get down."
Yali·Karstark stood up and slowly exited the camp.
After she left, Margaery sat next to Gary and whispered, "No matter whose idea it was, it is an indisputable fact that Karstark betrayed House Stark. You just forgive them like that? Where is the majesty of the king?"
Tywin·Lannister's father, the "Laughing Lion" Tytos·Lannister, was a lord who had lost his majesty, kindness and even weakness. During the years when he governed Westerlands, his vassals could mock him Warden of the West to his face.
The benevolent Tytos·Lannister never punished those vassals who offended him, so that his vassals looked down upon him more and more.
The vassals went from borrowing money and not repaying it, to ignoring orders, to rebelling against Westerlands, and taking refuge in the Reach.
If Tywin·Lannister hadn't used thunderous means to seize his father's military power, wipe out two disobedient families, and seriously intimidate the Westerlands princes, it is estimated that Westerlands would have changed hands long ago.
Margaery had also heard the story of the "Laughing Lion" Tytos·Lannister, so she reminded Gary. After all, as the new king, Gary was raised by an illegitimate son, so his foundation was too weak.
Gary pinched Margaery's face and said with a smile, "Dignity? My Dragon and the army are majesty. However, Karstark's rebellion will definitely have to pay a price. I decided to deprive Rickard·Karstark's eldest son of the inheritance rights, and let Yali·Karstark inherit the position of Karhold and Earl."
Margaery understood what Gary meant, "A girl is definitely easier to control than her big brother. I guess you will marry Karstark and use the bond of marriage to indirectly control House Karstark."
She guessed, "Bran?"
Gary shook his head and said, "No, if it's Rickon. Bran, I have other plans."
Margaery hesitated a little, "Rickon seems to be only five years old, right? They are ten years apart... It's not a problem."
