Chapter 25 Fateful Fall"What happened?" Cersei heard the boy scream, Panic stared wide-eyed.
"He fell." James turned around suddenly from the window, picked up the trench coat and quickly put it on him, "Come on, we have to get down."
"Who fell? now?"
"Bran Stark, Ed Duke's second son!"
"Damn," Cersei said suddenly, "did he see us?"
"No, but don't take it lightly, you hurry up, I have to go down and stop that Night's Watch first!"
＊＊＊
Half a minute ago, when Igor and two people passed by When the guards separated and returned to the training ground in the old inner courtyard, Bran had already climbed from the roof of the guard room to the outer wall of the first fort, and was following the familiar "route" to climb laterally in the direction of the ruined tower. Night's Watch knew that it couldn't stop the boy, so it shouted loudly on purpose... Not expecting Bran to be obedient, but just asking the pair in the first castle to respond in time.
The first half of the plan was successful, but things weren't going the way they were supposed to, and he could see clearly in the old inner yard: James didn't push Bran off this time, and It was as soon as his head emerged from the window that the boy was so frightened that he fell straight down.
......
After the muffled sound of a rag bag falling to the ground, the boy lay quietly on the ground with his eyes closed, motionless, and his pocket was originally intended to be taken to the top of the ruined tower. The corn that went up to feed the crow was scattered all over the ground, and it was bright and ironic.
Igor fell to the side of the boy in a daze, a mess of porridge in his head. Instinct made him know that he should call someone to rescue immediately, but Lannister was still in the first castle, and oneself's trip away from Wall was completely in vain... What's more troublesome is that not only did the busy work not stop Bran from falling, but also involved oneself in the In this case, the oneself was yelling at the boy when he fell. If you want to calculate the responsibility, is the oneself distracting Bran more, or James scaring the boy to occupy more?
A Night's Watch soldier who made Chief Ranger's nephew, Duke Stark's second son fall off the first fort, and want to leave after returning to the Wall? Igor shuddered just thinking about it.
The sound of footsteps came, and James ran out of the entrance of the first fort like a 100-meter sprint, ran to Bran's side, and leaned over to check the boy's breathing heartbeat. After a while, he stood up, his eyes were no longer relaxed and casual, but flickering rays of light.
The Kingslayer grabbed Igor by the collar. If the two were not the same height, he might have lifted him from the ground. The arrogant and cynical Lannister said in an almost trembling tone: "Tyrion said that you are the most flexible soldier he has ever seen, so you should understand that this kid fell down by himself. This is good for you and me, you know what I mean!"
oneself fell off? Igor also calmed down at this time, and quickly understood the meaning of the other party. Yes, no fourth person witnessed the whole process of the accident. If Bran fell by himself, at least until the boy wakes up, there is no need to worry about who is more responsible. .
But he reacted quickly, oneself can't accuse the other party, but he can't take the blame alone: "Understood... Yes, he fell from oneself, but I'm afraid that what one of my soldiers said will be wrong. People will believe it!"
James gave him a vicious look, and seeing that Igor didn't mean to compromise, he had to back down: "I can testify for you, but I can't involve me...Queen Your Majesty. !"
Igor quickly nodded: "When...of course, Queen Your Majesty has nothing to do with this matter."
Normally, James may not even bother to talk to Igor This Night's Watch soldier said a word, but today he encountered him unavoidably when he was looking for a venue, and now he also contributed to the fall of Bran Stark, and it was impossible not to talk.
They made a quick and simple confession. After the exchange, Cersei walked out of the high castle nervously, and Igor left the old inner courtyard to call someone.
＊＊＊
House Stark has no members since the Battle of the Reavers, and Winterfell is plunged into chaos not seen in years, with the guards scrambling to use stretcher bars. The boy was carried back to the main castle and informed Lady Stark and Maester Luwin, and all those who knew medical skills, including the accompanying doctor from King's Landing, participated in the rescue.
No one came out of the room until the king's hunting party returned at night.
At night, Bran's little wolf howls out the window, and the whole Winterfell can hear it calling to the Young Lord, while Igor lies on the bed in oneself's room, tossing and turning.
Bran is well known that he loves to climb walls. Almost every Winterfell resident has feared for this bear child. Today's fall is a completely unprepared big deal for James and Igor involved. Trouble, but for the rest of the city, it was just a worry that finally became a reality, an accident.
Despite Igor's nervousness, no one actually suspects him of a Night's Watch. It wasn't until Eddard Stark returned to Winterfell that The head of the family remembered to call the Ranger who first discovered his son's fall to ask for details... With the testimony of two guards who had spoken to Igor and three James Lannister, North The guardian also frowned and waved him back to the house.
It seems that Bran's fall didn't bother oneself at all, but it's not that simple. Igor is really scared now - Bran's fateful fall today made him doubt his life.
He is a thorough materialist, insisting that everything in the world can be explained by science... The science here refers to the knowledge of divisions and systems-he believes that even Others and The Magic of Lord of Light must also operate according to some kind of rule system that he does not understand for the time being. Over time, he will be able to master more information about it, so as to understand and even use this unknown power.
But after doing a lot of operations in the past few days, Bran still fell at the same time and place as the original plot. Is this a coincidence, or is there some force behind the plot to follow the original line? developing?
......
Igor forces oneself to stop thinking about this unknown and powerful existence, because he has more real troubles than "existence in the dark" - although he doesn't have it yet, at least Not openly suspected of causing Bran's fall, but actually unable to get rid of the connection to the plot: If the story continues, when the unknown killer breaks into Bran's room and tries to "mercy" the boy, the Stark family will surely Doubt about child's fall.
As soon as the investigation begins, oneself, a guest at Winterfell, has to conduct daily training in a remote old inner courtyard, and Night's Watch, which first discovered that Bran fell from the building, will definitely be remembered. At that time, oneself may have left the Wall with dwarf, although Tyrion and Bran fell from the building and the assassination had nothing to do with it, but the label of Lannister on him could not be removed... At that time, if oneself was arrested for this House Stark is judged to be the enemy of Lannister's camp, that is really jumping into the Yellow River, no, Trident can't be washed.
A Night's Watch who dared to collude with Lannister to murder a Stark. As long as the North First Family operates a little bit, isn't it easy for the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch to recall the oneself who has left the Wall or even directly declare the oneself as a deserter?
And on the other hand, wouldn't House Lannister make trouble for oneself? With Cersei's viciousness and vigilance, a Night's Watch who is suspected of knowing about her and still refuses to take the blame, not obediently and honestly staying in the Wall, but getting close to her most hated dwarf younger brother, any one is enough for her Killing.
It's just not human.
The oneself, who was originally outside the Game of Thrones story, took the initiative to try to interfere with the plot for the first time, and didn't make a show of foxes.
Igor is annoyed, but now that's the end of it, it makes sense to find a solution. What can he do now to break through this awkward situation?
