Of course, Sandor could not kill someone at House Tully's banquet. That would be contempt for House Tully. He put his sword back into the scabbard on his waist, turned around and bowed his head to Edmure, "Forgive me for my rudeness, Duke Edmure."
Edmure has long disliked Mrs. Xibel. He had been looking forward to seeing the Hound kill this noisy woman just now.
He didn't think Sandor was rude and said with a smile, "It's okay. Your Majesty Sandor is protecting the honor of His Majesty Luke. I understand. Sit down."
Sandor sat back in his seat and continued to look coldly at Mrs. Xibel opposite.
Mrs. Xibel plucked up the courage and asked, "What evidence do you have to prove the death of Mr. Tywin?"
"What evidence do you want?"
Sandor raised his glass and said sarcastically, "Riverrun is surrounded by Lannister and cannot send messages or receive information from the outside world. News of Tywin's death has long spread throughout Westeros. You can go out and ask your husband."
After hearing what Sandor said, Mrs. Xibel believed it a little bit.
She couldn't help but recall the day Edmure returned to Riverrun and said that Stark had Dragon.
She didn't believe it at the time and mocked Edmure for lying.
But Dragon passed over Riverrun twice, which made her shaken.
Now that Tywin is dead, it is undoubtedly a painful blow to House Lannister. The Lion family is very likely to be in ruins. She might as well take this opportunity and throw herself into another big tree.
Mrs. Xibel stretched out her hand and squeezed the hand of the eldest daughter beside her, and then said loudly, "My daughter is the North's Royal House. It is your responsibility to escort us back to the North."
His face changed so quickly that everyone present was stunned.
Sandor snorted coldly, "We will take away Mrs. Jenny and return to the North. As for you, continue to lick Lannister's butt."
Mrs. Xibel slapped the table and stood up, "What is your attitude? My eldest daughter is His Majesty Robb's queen, and my eldest son died in battle for His Majesty Robb! I sacrificed myself to this extent for the North, what qualifications do you have to slander me?"
Sandor A ball of anger arose in his heart, and Mrs. Xibel's shameless remarks made him clenched his fists.
However, if Mrs. Xibel's eldest son really died in the battle because of Robb·Stark, then she would be qualified to return to Winterfell with Sandor and others.
Sandor looked to Edmure, seeking answers.
Edmure nodded and admitted. "Mrs. Xibel's eldest son, Leonard Westerling, was the bodyguard of His Majesty Robb. During Red Wedding, he refused to surrender to House Frey and was shot dead by random arrows."
Mrs. Xibel cried sadly, "My child..."
Sandor was very surprised, things were much more complicated than he imagined.
He agreed that before leaving, he would take Mrs. Xibel and others back to Winterfell.
After the dinner.
Edmure approached Sandor alone, and he took Sandor to his study for a secret conversation.
"Sir Sandor, I heard from Uncle Brynden that you are still going to stay in Riverrun for more than ten days?"
Sandor nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty the Duke. Your Majesty has given me the task of bringing back Miss Sansa. Now that Miss Sansa has not arrived Riverrun, I plan to wait for a while."
Edmure took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty Sandor, I hope you can return to Winterfell as soon as possible and bring a message to His Majesty Luke for me."
Sandor thought that Edmure was still worried about Riverrun being surrounded, so he persuaded him, "Your Majesty the Duke, I think the Riverrun matter can be slowed down. Once His Majesty Luke has finished solving the North's internal matters, he will definitely come to support you."
Unexpectedly, Edmure quickly waved his hand, "It's not Riverrun's thing, it's another matter. Sandor, you must know my sister, Catelyn·Tully, right?"
Sandor nodded, Catelyn Tully is the wife of Eddard Stark. When he followed King Robert's team to visit Winterfell, he had the honor to meet Mrs. Catelyn.
Edmure swallowed and said with a slight fear, "I met her here one night more than a month ago, my sister, Catelyn Tully."
Sandor said in astonishment, "As far as I know, Mrs. Catelyn died on Red Wedding. Does the Duke mean that Mrs. Catelyn survived?"
"No, it's not."
Edmure seemed to recall a terrible scene. He covered his face with his hands, "Catelyn looks very strange. Her skin is pale, most of her hair has fallen off, and the rest of her hair has turned white. The most important thing is that there is a cut on her neck, a deep cut, I can even see the bones."
His eyes were dull and he murmured, "She is like a... dead person."
Sandor was stunned, When he was at Castle Black, he heard the legend about Wights, but it was north of Wall. It was impossible for White Walkers and Wights to exist south of Wall, so his first reaction was that Edmure was hallucinating.
"Did the Duke drink that night? Maybe you missed your late sister too much after drinking, so..."
Edmure raised his head, showing displeasure. "Sandor, do you think I'm hallucinating?"
He took out a bloody necklace from the desk drawer and placed it on the table. "This is my sister's necklace. After that night, I found it on the ground."
The evidence is before our eyes, so Sandor cannot help but not believe it.
Sandor's mouth twitched slightly, "Your Majesty, are you sure this necklace belongs to Mrs. Catelyn?"
"I am sure that Catelyn was wearing this necklace when she attended the wedding. She left it on purpose after she left that night."
Edmure looked at the necklace on the table, his voice trembling.
Sandor then became serious, "The Duke is right, I should rush back to Winterfell as soon as possible. I also ask the Duke to let me take this necklace back."
Edmure waved his hand, "You can take it. Please explain the situation and ask your Majesty to send Wizard over as soon as possible. That power is not something ordinary people can contend with. Only Magic can fight against Magic."
Sandor carefully put away the necklace, "I will convey the Duke's concerns to His Majesty, and I believe that Your Majesty will definitely send Melisandre priest south."
Priest? He must be very strong, right?
Edmure rubbed his hands, "That's good, that's good."
He actually hid something from Sandor. That night, Catelyn held his neck and heard a strange hoarse voice. "Edmure... help me... revenge, kill all Lanni... ster, kill Luke·Snow that... bastard!"
Near Riverlands, Trident.
"Beauty" Brienne·Tas, bearing the oath to Catelyn·Tully and the promise of Jaime·Lannister, went north to search for traces of Sansa.
She brought Valyrian steel sword "Oath Keeper Sword" presented by Jaime, and came to Riverlands with her follower Podrick Payne.
On the way to search for Sansa·Stark, Brienne and Podrick were captured by Brotherhood Without Banners.
Brotherhood Without Banners confiscated Brienne's Oathkeeper Sword. The golden sword head with a lion head made Brotherhood Without Banners mistakenly think that she was a soldier under Lannister, so she and Podrick were brought to Lady Stoneheart for execution.
When Brienne saw Lady Stoneheart's face clearly, he shouted in shock, "Mrs. Catelyn? Are you... not dead?"
