Chapter 1029: Winterfell Dinner

Popular recommendation:

And later at the welcome dinner, Edric knew that the chestnut-haired Stark knight was Robb's younger brother, Brandon Stark.

"It turned out to be Lord Robb's younger brother."

Then the white knight sat in the room and watched Brandon play with Robb's two sons, Theon and Doron.

At this time, Robb also introduced his wife to Edric, a tall, dark-haired middle-aged woman.

She was well-dressed, also covered in thick wolf fur.

"This is my wife, Allie."

Arleigh Karstark couldn't help but light up when he saw the handsome Edric Dane.

It's like a man suddenly sees a beautiful woman. Although he doesn't need to do anything, he always feels happy.

"Lord Dane."

"Mrs. Stark."

The two greeted each other and exchanged a few simple words.

Mrs. Stark also has dark hair, which allowed Edric to dispel the guesses in his heart just now, and even some guilt.

Because after he just saw Robb's younger brother Brandon, he felt that Robb's two children Theon and Doron seemed to be more similar to Brandon.

But Mrs. Stark also had dark hair, which made Edric reassure.

"Illusion..."

It must have been just an illusion.

Afterwards, the banquet was staggered, and Edric Dayne also saw the boldness of the northerners.

There were hundreds of people in the empty Winterfell Hall, and a bonfire was roaringly burning for warmth.

And sitting around the bonfire are long tables and long benches, barrels of spirits have long been prepared, and after being pried open, they are poured into large wooden wine glasses.

People in the north drink happily during the banquet. After all, in this cold winter and spring, when there is nothing to do, there is no way to go to the ground, and the crops cannot be harvested. They can only find reasons to drink to warm themselves up.

Even Edric suspected that even if he hadn't visited the north as the envoy of the second prince Yin Meng, they would have made up another reason to drink happily.

There was a lot of people around, and after the spirits entered the throat, people's words obviously increased, and their voices also increased a lot. They laughed loudly, slapped the table, and boasted loudly.

However, amid the chaos and noise, servants shuttled through the banquet, carrying dishes and wine glasses.

But one of them, a reddish-brown-haired boy accidentally knocked over the plate, hurriedly apologized with a pale face, and then lay on the ground and wiped the ground.

But what made Edric a little curious was that the obviously hot-tempered and reckless northern man was equally frightened after being doused by the servant.

He even looked more frightened than this reddish-brown-haired teenager.

He hurriedly supported the other party, saying that he could wipe it clean, and he could wash his clothes by himself.

"Who is this boy?"

Obviously, it wasn't how kind-hearted the big man in the north was, but that this reddish-brown-haired boy had an extraordinary identity.

But how could a young man with extraordinary status be reduced to serving dishes in Winterfell?

However, Edric asked curiously, and Benford Toha, who accompanied him from Torren Square to Winterfell, was obviously drunk at the moment, and his fat and greasy cheeks were flushed.

Then he got close to Edric Dane, looked left and right and found that no one was paying attention, then carefully lowered his voice and said.

"Let Lord Edric know... In fact, this is no longer a secret among the nobles in the north."

"The boy's name is Clyde, and his mother's name is Bass, the wife of a brewmaster in Winterfell, and everyone except the old man knows that his wife is Lord Robb Stark's mistress."

"This child is actually Lord Robb's illegitimate son, and should be called Clyde Snow."

"Do you see how similar they look?"

Benford Taoha was so drunk that he was even a little confused, and even quietly shook Robb's old bottom out.

Although this is not a secret among the northern nobles, it is really the first time for Edric to hear it.

He never imagined that Lord Robb Stark, who seemed to be upright on the surface, would have a lover outside like other imperial nobles.

"It doesn't look like a person."

"There are also stories that cannot be told in the Stark family."

Edric Dayne's expression remained still, and he silently took a sip of the wine from the glass.

It was a coincidence that Benford Taoha drank too much and shook his own monarch. He thought he had lowered his voice, but in fact he was still 'conspiring loudly', which was heard by many people around him.

On the other side, the governor of the North, Robb Stark, had a slightly ugly expression on his face, and Mrs. Stark, who was sitting beside him, couldn't hang his face, and then got up and left the table without saying a word.

The warm atmosphere at the banquet has been reduced a lot at some point. It should be that many people have observed the unexpected situation here and are secretly watching. After that, Robb turned his head and glanced at the back of Aly Karstark leaving, but there was not much sincerity in his eyes, even indifference.

Then, when Robb's eyes turned again, he looked at Benford Taoha, who had drank too much.

At this moment, the other party didn't know whether he had reacted from a sense of guilt, or if he really still didn't wake up, he lay down on the table and started to snort and snort.

"Hurry up and take him away!"

However, Robb Stark waved his hand with an ugly face, and impatiently asked the guards of the Stark family to carry the fool out and threw it back to the guest room in Winterfell.

Therefore, this Winterfell dinner started very lively, but until the white knight gradually learned some of the "insiders" of the Stark family in recent years, the atmosphere became embarrassing, and it finally broke up.

The current state of the Stark family is really just a microcosm of the many families in the Empire.

During the peace years, when there was no common foreign enemy, these powerful families began to degenerate rapidly and fell into the internal struggle for power and profit.

Humans are sometimes like huskies. If they can't fully exhaust their energy, they will have nothing to do in their free time, and will eventually do some fancy work.

In fact, the same is true of the Targaryen family. If the empire faces a huge crisis, then the three children of Viserys will not be caught in the infighting, but will unite to face the foreign enemy.

And Prince Yin Meng's mission rested in Winterfell for two days, and finally received a reply from the Great Wall of Despair.

The eldest princess agreed to meet Edric Dayne and the others, so they continued on their way the next day.
