Chapter 917: Kingsguard Selection

Latest website: The marriage of the eldest daughter is settled, but the second daughter likes to dance with knives and guns all day long, which makes Mrs. Caitlin quite a headache.

And she accidentally bumped into Robb seeing off Arya, and Mrs. Catelyn immediately understood where her troubled daughter was going.

King's Landing.

Recently, this news has spread all over the empire, Westeros and even Pentos, Andalos, and the Three Sisters Kingdom on the other side of the Narrow Sea.

That is, since the rebuilding of the empire, there has been no public recruitment, and the world-renowned famous knight order has finally begun to recruit people again.

This knight order was created by the Great Queen Visania during the Targaryen Dynasty. It is an elite guard with the mission of protecting the royal bloodline. This guard is called the Kingsguard. Of course, they also have a more poetic name called 'The White Knight'.

Visenia formulated the creeds and principles of the Kingsguard based on the oath of the Night's Watch, and emphasized that loyalty is more important than martial arts.

Now, in the era of the Three Empresses, the Kingsguard, who has never been full, finally decided to recruit people again.

The reason is that His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire has married three queens, and now he has given birth to three princesses and princes, but there are only two Kings Guards, and there are still five vacancies.

Even one of the two Royal Guards is only on a temporary basis. Now that he is in charge of the army, he has long since stopped performing the duties of the Kings Guard in person.

Therefore, there is only one female knight, Mia, who is really performing the work of the Kingsguard. Viserys once did not need protection, only Mia alone was enough, but now Viserys has three wives, and there are also Having three children and only one Kingsguard, this really seems a bit stretched.

So before Daenerys left, after consultation with the three queens, the Imperial Council, and the female knight Mia, it was decided to recruit a few more white knights.

And as soon as such news was released, it immediately caused a shock to all the nobles in the empire.

The Kingsguard, as a prestigious order of knights, has always been the ultimate dream of all knights, even if they have broken their heads, they want to squeeze in.

But in these years, they have not had much chance to join the ranks of the white knights.

Because there was always only one Kingsguard when Viserys was personally regent, and now he is finally willing to open up places, it is natural for the knights of the empire to flock to him.

During this time, knights from Westeros and Essos gathered in King's Landing to participate in this tournament.

Among them, the second daughter from the Stark family in Winterfell, Arya, who has always wanted to prove herself, was naturally attracted, so she began to pack her bags and set off for King's Landing without telling her family.

But I didn't expect that when eldest brother Robb saw off his sister, he was hit by his mother, Mrs. Caitlin.

The fact that a noble lady of noble status wants to be like a man on the battlefield is unacceptable to the mother, Lady Catelyn, who is also from a prestigious family.

But helplessly, she also knew the temperament of her little daughter. She was born with a naughty personality, lively and alert, and did not look like a girl at all. On the contrary, she was very talented in swordsmanship and liked fighting and exploring.

When Arya was young, she proposed to learn swordsmanship, and she could gallop in the tournament in the future. The idea of ​​her sister scared Sansa, but her brother Jon Snow, who was close to Arya, was very good in this regard. support her.

Arya followed Jon to practice the sword secretly, and even when Winterfell fell and the family fled to King's Landing, Arya could easily defeat her brother Brandon one-on-one with a sword.

And Arya also has a special talent, that is, throwing things very accurately.

Her eyes seem to have a crosshair, and she can accurately throw a dagger into the eyes of a stag. At the same time, her archery is also extremely skilled, enough to be called a hundred paces through Yang. Her two brothers Jon and Robb are in the In this regard, they are resigned.

Little Wolf Girl's outstanding martial arts talent was later supported by her aunt Lyanna.

Lyanna, though transformed into a White Walker, survived the long night with the Blackstone necklace Rhaegar gave her.

Therefore, after Lyanna and Bunyan returned to Winterfell, their siblings stayed in Winterfell for a while, and felt that their current identities were out of line with ordinary people, and the eyes of others looking at them were full of fear.

Then Lyanna and Bunyan set off for the Great Wall of Desperate to join their brother Eddard, and Lyanna's own flesh and blood Jon Snow also swore an oath to join the Night's Watch a few years ago and is now serving on the Great Wall.

With the support of her aunt Lyanna, the mother, Mrs. Catelyn, finally gave up her plan to forcibly change her daughter and acquiesced in her sword practice.

"Mother."

Arya dismounted and stood with her brother Robb, holding the reins, afraid to look her mother in the eye.

Mrs. Catelyn is also forty-three years old this year. The once beautiful, beautiful and charming young woman now has a little more wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and her hair is gradually graying.

When Lady Catelyn arranged for the wedding of Arleigh Karstark and her son Robb, Lord Rickard Karstark, the in-laws of the North, secretly pursued her.

Anyway, Lady Catelyn's husband, Duke Eddard, had already been stripped of his title and put on black. At that time, Rickard Karstark was fascinated by power and got carried away, feeling that the North had fallen into his control.

Moreover, Karstark and the Stark family are a family~www.NovelMTL.com~ have the same blood, so he dares to humiliate Lady Catelyn like this.

Later, the North fell into civil strife, and the Stark family's control over the North declined. Some nobles began to be separated from each other. Robb Stark finally broke his face with his father-in-law, Rickard, the chief of the North, and broke out. The civil war and the humiliation of the mother was also one of the reasons.

In the end, Robb fought Rickard one-on-one in a melee, then stabbed his father-in-law in the chest with a sword, cut off his head and put it on the tip of the gun and returned to Winterfell.

Robb's wife, Arleigh Karstark, was in tears when she heard the news of her father's death, and she was always caught between her husband and his father.

Today, although Robb and his wife are still married, they actually exist in name only.

Arie is a stubborn smile, and Robb is also in love with alcohol, and often sneaks into the house of a Winterfell brewmaster.

Because the winemaker has a very good wife named Bass.
