Chapter 203 Political Marriage“This girl refuses to come to see you, what do you say you sell her Now, she's got a fiancé for the unfathomable mystery." Igor dropped Arya off his shoulders, pushed him to Robb's side, and complained before the girl could speak: "And clamoring for me to take her back to Winterfell, or tell someone else about me. Touch her ass."
"Huh—" Although her hair was cut short, Robb recognized the younger sister at a glance. As the elder brother who watched Arya grow up, he naturally had a clear temper with the girl, without the slightest hesitation he chose to trust the outsider Igor: "Okay Arya, I apologize, this matter was decided without discussing it with you. It is indeed me. Not good. But this time of year, this marriage is crucial...but I promise, no one's going to push you to get married."
"hmph—" Arya dodged Robb's embrace, panting With rage, he ran to the chair and sat down. He jumped up as soon as his butt touched the seat, and turned away tearfully, no longer looking at the two of them.

In the original plot, Catelyn ran to Frey's house at a critical moment when the North army urgently needed to go south to talk about forming an alliance. In order to cross the river, he had to make many concessions—— The conditions include "Arya marrying into the Frey family" and "Robb marrying a Frey Marquess daughter". Now the plot has undergone great changes. Under the circumstance that they are already in-laws, the Freys have unswervingly stood on the northern side in the war, and they have always been at the forefront of the battle against the Westerlands...
And In the case that the eldest son is already the son-in-law of the Frey family, it is impossible for House Stark to have one of the two daughters to repeatedly win over a family whose status is lower than oneself. The marriage between the Frey family and House Stark is already high, and once is to take advantage, Not enough to come twice.
Who will Arya marry this time?
Igor is the girl's nominal master after all, and subconsciously feels that oneself is a little responsible for her, and coupled with gossip and curiosity, she couldn't help but ask this question.
"Harrold Hardyng, the heir to Robert Arryn, we all call him 'heir Harry'." As everyone knows, Robb has nothing to hide: "Grandpa Horst's idea, he wrote to tell Me, this will make the alliance of the three more stable."
"It was him." Igor was stunned.
After Lysa Tully was driven back to Riverrun for a oneself note, her sick, manic, epileptic son Robert Arryn, nephew of Eddard Stark, became Vale and the Wolf Osprey The connection line on the last "bloodline" of the alliance. If he died, the factual basis of Vale's alliance with House Stark would be gone, and an alliance based on friendship alone would be unstable. Not to mention - the patriarchs of the First Men family, as close to North as Yohn Royce, were also taken to Wall by Robert in that mutiny not long ago.
Arya Stark's marriage to Harrold Hardyng will ensure that even if the current Vale Duke dies, the future Vale Duke Lady will have the surname Stark... The Wolf Osprey will survive.
Marrying to maintain the stability of the alliance is Duke Horst's forte...and looking at Robert Arryn's ill appearance, it's really possible to breathe one's last before leaving an heir. In this case, Igor was now facing an extremely serious political marriage, and it would not be too much of a burden to say that Arya had no place for her to be playful or self-willed.

"Reasonable arrangement." After Igor understood the inside story, he quickly put on the mask of loving elders, and thought from the perspective of Disciple Arya: "But I I think, little girl has the right to see oneself's fiancé first."
"That's natural. Well, tomorrow I'll find an excuse to call Harrold Ser downstairs to the Conference Hall, when the time comes Arya , you can pretend to be squire and take a good look at oneself's fiancé." Robb looked at Arya's short-haired tomboy, and knew that she couldn't let her meet her future husband officially for the first time in this appearance: "In my personal opinion, Harrold Ser His body is well-proportioned and slender, and his appearance can be considered handsome. Uncle Brynden even said that he looks like Duke Jon Arryn when he was young. He just talks about his appearance, but he doesn't feel wronged at all."
Arya shook her head vigorously: "Don't look at it. Don't look, no matter how handsome, I just heard from people outside that he has several illegitimate children!"
"illegitimate children..." Robb was at a loss for words, and was taught by father Ed. Of course, he also felt that this was a stain on his honor, but this matter really did not allow him to think too much: "illegitimate child will not affect... You and his future children's inheritance rights to Vale."
"I can go His inheritance, who wants to have a child with him!" Arya stomped her foot, touching the place where she was hit on her butt, and grinned in pain.
"Swear again!" Igor scolded Tyrion, who had ruined the girl, and glared at Arya: "You eat well, dress well, if you want to learn how to ride, you can ride a horse, if you want to learn There are also people who teach sword technique hand-to-hand, when you get into a big disaster, and I, a supposedly neutral Night's Watch officer, take the risk to send you home, why? Not because of the last name Stark! Well, when you enjoy the benefits of your family Peace of mind, when you need to fulfill your obligations to the family, you will slack off and not admit it?"
This is naturally reasonable and convincing to the ears of adults, but how can Xiong children not listen to you? major principles: "I don't care... anyway... if you force me to marry him, I'll... I'll die for you to see!"
"You this girl, what scoundrel words are you talking about! Robb frowned, but he has always loved younger sister, the impression in Arya's eyes has long been solidified, and there is no majesty in any expressions, and Igor may not be able to speak well.
"Why do I 'we' force you..." Igor also reacted at this time, and suddenly realized that oneself should not be involved in the internal affairs of House Stark, Arya refused to accept the family's marriage arrangement, which round Got oneself this sword technique teacher to convince? It's just a dog taking a mouse, just adding trouble to oneself.
Thinking about the key, he didn't hesitate, and said goodbye to Robb: "Arya has been delivered safely, I'll go down to prepare, and leave for Golden Tooth tomorrow to take Kingslayer to the Wall. Also, please— Say hello to the princes along the Kingsroad in advance, I don't want the enemy of House Lannister to lead an army to maliciously block or even attack my team going north."
"No problem, I will write tonight. RobbW nodded: "Besides, I'll give you a hundred soldiers to make sure you and the Kingslayer arrive at all."
"That's great. If nothing else, then I-- Just retire, you two siblings haven't seen you for a long time, let's have a good chat."
"en. ”
Igor walked to the door to leave, and Arya complained from behind: " Why me, Sansa! She's older than me, and she likes to marry this and that! Wouldn't she be Vale Duke Lady!"
"She's still Joffrey's fiancee, not leaving It's disrespectful to Harry that the program dissolves the engagement. Only when Joffrey is clothed in black cloth and the engagement between the two is acknowledged to be invalid, can we make another arrangement..."
"What? !" Igor was shivered and turned around immediately: "Joffrey will also put on black clothed ... You let him and Kingslayer ... father and son reunite in the Wall, are you not afraid of accidents?"
" The three illegitimate children are all on Dragonstone now, and Stannis said that this is what my father meant... Hey, these things, let him decide after I rescue the father from King's Landing." Robb also looked helpless, Don't look at him at the meeting with the appearance of a commander-in-chief of princes who is confident and steady as Old Dog, but after all, he is a teenager. It was the first time I took the lead in becoming an independent director, and I was actually panicking in my heart. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly stopped Igor: "Wait, I remembered, I'm going to lead the army to King's Landing soon, it's not safe for Arya to follow me, and I don't worry about leaving it to others... Since you want to go back to the Wall , why don't you take Arya back to Winterfell on the way and save me having to send another group of soldiers to escort her."
"No, he just spanked me!"
"Don't You messed up Arya!" After being messed up by the younger sister for a long time, Robb didn't believe her words at all, and his expression became serious: "Either go back to Winterfell with Igor, or I will give you to your fiancé and let him protect you during the march and battle. , you oneself choose one!"
Arya stared at Robb for a while with pouting and humming, seeing that he didn't mean to give in, then glanced at Igor aggrievedly, and resignedly surrendered: "Okay. , then I choose to go home."
