In the early morning, the first ray of sunshine shone into Luanhe City.
Gary held the heads of Walder·Frey and walked out of the castle dejectedly.
At this time, he could be regarded as taking the first step of revenge, but he did not feel at all happy in his heart. He felt more regret and self-blame. If he could have come back in time, three days earlier, Robb would not have died.
Gary pondered hard all night and still didn't understand why the plot was "advanced".
He has not read the original work "Ice and Fire" and does not know that the timeline of the series "Game of Thrones" is delayed by two or three years from "Ice and Fire".
Not being able to catch up is inevitable and natural.
Daenerys wanted to comfort Gary, but she knew nothing about Westeros. She only knew that Gary had lost a close relative.
Her understanding of "family affection" comes from Viserys's wrath of the sleeping dragon. Therefore, she cannot empathize with Gary and does not know how to comfort her.
Daenerys thought about it and decided to Ding'an just stay with Gary quietly.
Dark Sister was hanging on her waist, Bright-Roar was sheathed in her arms, and she followed Gary obediently.
Gary came to the open space outside the castle, where the attendants and maids serving House Frey gathered. They were surrounded by Wights all over the city and were driven here, not daring to move.
The order he issued to Wights yesterday was to kill all the soldiers of House Frey. These servants had neither armor nor weapons, so they were naturally blocked by Wights.
However, this is also what Gary did intentionally.
He threw Walder·Frey's head into the crowd and said loudly, "My name is Luke·Stark, I am the brother of Robb·Stark, I am the stepson of Eddard·Stark, and I am The son of Lyanna·Stark is the legal successor of King in the North. I need you to spread the word about everything that happened in Luanhe City and tell the nobles who have betrayed and hurt House Stark that I will visit them one by one to collect debts from them! The wolf soul will not die, the North will never be forgotten!"
Gary is not mindlessly venting. He knows that only if he is strong enough to pose a threat, those Stark scattered around Westeros can be less bullied.
As soon as he finished speaking, a giant dragon with black body and red wings descended from the sky. It stepped on the city wall full of dead bodies, opened its big mouth full of fangs, and let out a shocking dragon roar.
The servants in the open space saw the giant dragon for the first time. Their bodies trembled, they knelt down and kowtowed in worship.
Gary raised his hand to signal Drogon to be quiet. Drogon also gave him face, stopped shouting, and instead stared silently at the crowd below, as if he was ready to attack at any time.
"Now, you can all leave."
The Wights army was under his control and gave way to a road leading outside the city gate.
There were hundreds of servants in the open space. When they saw Wights give way, they fled Luanhe City one after another with corpses everywhere.
There were fewer and fewer servants left, and finally there were only four men in armor and a dozen familiar House Frey children.
"Why are you still here? You can't let go of Luanhe City and want to stay and be buried with it?"
Gary released these children last night, and they could leave Luanhe City at that time, and Wights soldiers would not stop them.
She is still the leading girl, she is the most beautiful daughter of Walder·Frey. However, although her appearance is outstanding, she seems a bit ordinary in front of Daenerys.
She led the children and hid behind the four men, too timid to reply.
Gary pulled out Falling Plum from his waist and raised a cold smile, "House Frey's fish that slipped through the net? You really don't know how to live or die. Since you are unwilling to leave, then I will send you on your way."
"We are not from House Frey. My name is Edmure·Tully, and I am the Duke of Riverrun! I am also the uncle of His Majesty Robb·Stark!"
A middle-aged man wearing black scales stood up and shouted.
Gary looked at the man with short reddish-brown hair, "Are you Mrs. Catelyn's brother?"
"That's right."
Edmure began to introduce the other three men, "Ma Ke of the Piper family, and Patrek of House Mallister. They are all the eldest sons and heirs of their own families. This is Jon·Umber Earl, the fiefdom is Last Hearth of the North."
"We are all vassals of His Majesty Robb. After His Majesty was killed, we were captured by House Frey."
Gary squinted his eyes and asked, "Robb's vassal? Then why are you still alive when everyone else is dead? Don't tell me, Walder·Frey can threaten your family with your lives. There are not a few family heirs who died at that wedding."
Jon·Umber is an upright man. His face was clearly covered by a big beard, but his old face was still red with embarrassment. "We had already left the banquet in the castle hall and went... to the bridal chamber... Alas, we have betrayed His Majesty Robb's trust and did not stay with His Majesty to protect him. If Your Majesty wants to kill me, I will have no complaints."
Gary thought about it for a moment and said, "Even if you were present at the time, you can't change the outcome of Red Wedding. I ask you, are you willing to continue to be loyal to Stark? Promise yourself to me?"
The news widely circulated in the outside world is that Bran·Stark (first pick) and Rickon·Stark (second pick) have been burned to death by Theon·Greyjoy.
If there is no Gary, then the throne of King in the North should go to Sansa·Stark. Unfortunately, there is no if, Gary Although is the stepson of Eddard, he also has the same surname as Stark and the blood of House Stark on his body (at least that's what the outside world thinks).
Therefore, Gary is the third successor of the North, and he is the legal successor of King in the North.
Even if the three men couldn't see the Wights army, couldn't they still see the black dragon staring covetously at them?
They looked at each other, and with awe, knelt down on one knee together, "I am willing to continue to be loyal to the North, and I am willing to die for His Majesty!"
Gary stood on the steps and accepted their allegiance.
The House Frey children shivered and knelt down too.
"Wait a minute, you are not my subjects, there is no need to kneel down. I will not forgive your family. If you don't want to die, leave here immediately!"
Gary now has a headache when seeing these Frey, and scolded impatiently.
"Your Majesty!"
Edmure held the Frey girl's hand awkwardly, "This is my wife, Roslin·Frey. She and I have made a sacred oath, and I also ask your majesty to allow her to return to Riverrun with me."
Gary was noncommittal and asked coldly, "Are you going to raise these remnants of Frey?"
Roslin·Frey knelt on the ground and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty has erased our surnames last night. We are all people without surnames now. There are no descendants of House Frey here."
Gary stared at her, was silent for a few seconds, and said, "You are very smart. I hope you will be smart all your life and not be confused."
House Tully of Edmure is a big family that rules the entire Riverlands.
Gary only needs to obtain the allegiance of House Tully, which is equivalent to obtaining the allegiance of all the families of Riverlands.
Robb has a blood relationship with House Tully, but Gary does not. In order to gain House Tully's support, he could only make concessions.
He suppressed his dissatisfaction and made the final arrangement. "This sinful castle is not worthy of remaining in the world. You can all go out of the city and wait for me."
Jon·Umber understood what Gary meant, "Your Majesty is going to destroy Luanhe City? Before that, can you let us move some food out of the city? We are in the middle of a war and the food shortage is urgent."
They had to rush back to their family's castle, and they needed to eat along the way.
Gary waved his hand and agreed.
