I've been punished for a week now. I've been staying in my room, spending the rest of the time in the Training Space. That way, people won't suspect anything. I've been pretending to be still recovering from my injury.
I contacted all my familiars, hoping to get the latest updates from them. Po and Erebus are on guard at sea, and the sea rats have come looking for wood again; they can increase the number of each of their Crow Familiars to 60.
Lika and Berus also increased the number of their contracted animals. Lika was able to command 30 wolves, Berus found 10 wild dogs or stray dogs.
In the North, it's hard to find stray animals in Winter, and people would rather eat them than go hungry. Lika has already reached her maximum contracted number.
Im also found 30 Icicle Snake, but because Icicle Snake are very difficult to find, he can't reach the maximum number of contracts he can have. If I have time, I can go to the Wolfswood to help him.
The unluckiest is Sith, as most of her kind live on the other side of the Wall or in the Vale mountains. She can find three adult Shadow Lynx and two newborn cubs. Within a year, the offspring can almost grow to adult size, but other Shadow Lynx are really hard to find.
All my four-legged familiars have grown to the size of tigers, and they have begun to develop abilities. They have become invulnerable to blades and spears, Sith can move silently, erasing their own existence.
At that moment, she was standing behind a deer, completely unaware of her presence. I severed my connection with her and left the room.
Now, I can sense my familiars within a 700-kilometer radius and share my vision with them. I wonder if I can sense her using heat vision or Promodynes ( the Find Animal ).
As for Lika and Berus, their abilities are more direct, which greatly enhances their speed and strength. After confirming the progress of each familiar, I started heading towards the kennel, as Robb and Jon had requested to meet there.
( Sansa Stark's perspective)
My mother hasn't spoken to me for a week. My desire to learn archery before Aermir is whipped has made her very angry. Of course, I've also said some hurtful things to her because I'm angry that she whipped Aermir. My mother continues to act like a child, walking away whenever she sees me.
When I entered the hall, my mother was observing the preparations. She saw me but ignored me, saying nothing. We were both doing what we were supposed to do, oblivious to each other's presence.
Suddenly, the mother threw the plate she was holding on the ground, and it shattered with a crack. She shouted.
"Everyone get out!"
All the servants hurriedly left the hall and closed the doors.
"How could you do this to me? I thought Arya would do it, but it was you!"
"I didn't do anything to you, Mother."
"You betrayed my trust, your actions insulted the Seven, and you demanded to be a warrior like a wild woman."
"I didn't ask to be a warrior, Mother. I am not Arya, nor are you. A wise man once told me that if I feel something is wrong, I don't have to follow the Old Gods or the Seven. I don't have to mold myself according to others' demands. I must live according to my own will."
"How dare you say that? That's not befitting a Lady."
"Don't misunderstand, Mother. I enjoy morality lessons or sewing lessons, but I also enjoy archery. If this saddens you, I can't help it. I've decided to live as I please until I must fulfill my Stark duty and marry the man Father has asked me to marry."
"Who are you? What's wrong with my dear Sansa?!"
"I am still me, and I still want to be queen. Who wouldn't? But I won't be a caged bird. I want to live as freely as possible until I have to settle down, just like that person recommended."
(Male protagonist's perspective)
Robb and Jon were waiting for me at the entrance to the kennel, their faces smirking with wicked grins. They raised their hands and said:
"For the Old Gods and the North!"
"Oh! Bah..."
I stopped and looked around. I could endure the whipping, but that didn't mean I enjoyed it. I wasn't a masochist. When I saw that no one was around, I said:
"Damn you two! Open your asses and laugh. It hurts to even move, and our little lord still made this poor commoner stand up."
As I said this, I saw Robb's face turn slightly regretful, he said.
"I'm sorry for how my mother treated you. You know she's actually a good person, but she's very attached to the Seven and Southern ways of thinking. In time, she'll see what wonderful people you both are."
"Anyway, let's put the depression aside. What did you call me here for? Do you want to have another dog training contest?"
Robb tried his best to hold it in, but he couldn't help but slyly laugh. He led me to the back of the kennel. When we got to the kennel, I saw five puppies inside, but upon closer inspection, they looked like wolf cubs, but unlike Lika when she was a puppy, they didn't have thin bodies and long, thin heads.
These puppies had huge paws and huge heads. Cold water was immediately poured over my back; these were all Direwolf cubs.
"We found them a month ago when we came back from patrol; each of my brothers and sisters has one."
He got into the car, picked up the gray-white animal, and said...
"This is Grey Wind, he's mine."
That's all I can say.
"Oh my god!"
