Chapter 611 The Lady of Winterfell

Arya nodded at first, pretending to be reserved, then her expression changed and she said excitedly: "Are the Grimm coming to Winterfell? I heard from Maester Luwin, mother, is this true?"

"You heard that?"

The strict mother is more terrifying than the White Walkers. Arya suddenly lost confidence: "I heard the conversation between Sansa and Maester Luwin. I heard it accidentally. I didn't eavesdrop."

"Next time, if you accidentally overhear their conversation, remember to remind them proactively, Lady Arya."

"why?"

Lady Catelyn took her little daughter's hand again and said as they walked, "Sansa is learning how to govern the territory from Maester Luwin. What they talked about will be related to the stability of the North. For example..."

Arya was curious. "Like what?"

Lady Catelyn said gently and patiently: "For example, King Green's visit to Winterfell is a secret. If his enemies knew this information in advance because of Winterfell..."

Arya interrupted in surprise, "Enemy of the Grimm? Stannis?"

Lady Catelyn felt that her patience was about to run out. She paused, then slowly spoke: "Yes, if Green I is in danger because of our negligence, it will be a serious crime."

Arya immediately covered her mouth, then rolled her eyes: "Sansa is so careless! Mother, you should teach her a lesson!"

As she spoke, the little wolf girl became more and more excited. She couldn't remember how many times she had been accused of hypocritical Sansa, who always pretended to be obedient. This was something she had finally caught with great difficulty!
Moreover, she was not making the accusation secretly; she was making the accusation openly!
……

Lady Catelyn couldn't help but sigh secretly. Her eldest daughter and her youngest daughter seemed like natural enemies. In recent years, the number of times she had to uphold justice in their quarrels... was so many that she became numb.

Sisters should love each other. Think about her and Lisa. They are just...

The past is sad.

Lady Catelyn suddenly felt that there were more petty quarrels, and perhaps Sansa and Arya would become closer as they grew older.

Sansa is smart and steady, while Arya is clever and lively. Although the two sisters have different personalities, they are both kind and good children.

With this in mind, Lady Catelyn asked her youngest daughter, "How do you think Sansa should be punished?"

Hearing this, Arya's face wrinkled and she began to think about the most cruel punishment.

Soon, her eyes lit up: "Bath Sansa with a brush, the biggest and hardest brush!"

This was the most painful punishment she had ever experienced (Chapter 410), and she added loudly: "Lady of Winterfell, you must let Septa Mordane do it yourself!"

Lady Catelyn pursed her lips and said as seriously as possible, "Okay, I agree with this method."

"Long live mom!"

Arya jumped up and down as if she had won a great victory. When Sansa burst into tears because of Septa Mordane's ruthless torture, she would laugh at her to her heart's content!
"Come on, let's go see Sansa."

"As you command, my dear Lady of Winterfell!"

After skipping for a while, Arya suddenly said, "Mom, is it true that Green is coming to Winterfell?"

After saying that, the little wolf girl finally reacted and looked around nervously and vigilantly.

Lady Catelyn sighed, then corrected, "Arya, you should call him His Majesty, Green, or His Majesty the King."

Hearing this, Arya pouted: "He and I are good friends. We also agreed that when he comes to Winterfell, I will take him out to play (Chapter 176)."

Lady Catelyn rubbed her puffy little face and said gently, "But he is already the King of the Seven Kingdoms. He rules the vast land from the Wall in the north to the Mountains of Dorne in the south."

Arya said angrily: "Whether he is an earl or a king, he is my good friend!"

Lady Catelyn's expression became slightly serious: "Arya Stark, he is not only the king, but also the benefactor of the Stark and Tully families. We must respect him."

Green took great risks to save her husband and two daughters and returned them safely to Winterfell.

It is also because of this that Ned can appear in Winterfell in time to resolve Theon's betrayal and save her young son from falling into the hands of the ironborn (Chapter 210).

It was also because of Green that she was able to avenge her sister with her own hands (Chapter 254).

Although she was a little angry at the time that he took her back to Winterfell as a prisoner (Chapter 258), she also knew that he was thinking about her safety. Then.

When she thought she was going to lose her uncle after losing her eldest son, Green once again took them under his wing.

He saved Uncle Brynden's honor and life, and he saved Riverrun, and he saved the Tullys (Chapter 454).

In fact, what Caitlin is most grateful to Green for is that he protected her husband's beliefs.

Ned's belief is honor, but he suffered a series of betrayals and abandonments because of his honor, and Stannis almost killed him.

Ned told her in the letter that he was thinking about his brother Robert's future just before the Shadow Killer's dagger pierced his heart.

Fortunately, Green was always there, so that Ned's belief in honor did not collapse.

Otherwise, this world would be too cruel to Ned.

……

"Of course I will respect Green..."

As Lady Catelyn stared at her, Arya added in a low voice: "...Your Majesty."

"I hope you can get used to it soon."

Then, Catelyn said to herself, "This reminds me that everyone in Winterfell needs to learn court etiquette as soon as possible..."

She couldn't help but quicken her pace. If she remembered correctly, Green I was the first king to visit Winterfell since Aegon ruled the Seven Kingdoms.

Seeing this, Arya let go of Catelyn's hand and said obediently: "If you are busy, please go first and don't worry about me."

They had arrived at the main gate of the castle. Lady Catelyn paused and looked at her little daughter suspiciously: "You won't come with me to see Sansa?"

"I'm not looking at Sansa. I'm going to watch Rickon (Ed's youngest son) practice swordplay." Arya made a face and ran away by herself.

Children nowadays are so fickle. Lady Catelyn shrugged and walked into the main castle.

……

thump.

Sansa Stark skillfully stamped the Stark family's direwolf seal on the parchment covered with words.

Maester Luwin, who was standing beside him, picked up the parchment and scanned its contents with his cloudy grey eyes.

As Sansa looked a little nervous, the old maester nodded at her and said, "Please take a rest. You have been busy almost the whole morning."

Sansa gave a standard lady's smile and said, "Maester Luwin, thank you for your careful teaching."

Maester Luwin smiled kindly and said, "Lady Sansa, you are learning quickly. Nothing could make me more pleased than this."

Hearing the old maester's praise, Sansa couldn't hide her happiness. She stroked her cascading red hair and said, "Winter is coming. May the new and old gods bless the North."

Maester Luwin tugged at his maester's necklace. His weathered voice rang out, "Yes, may the gods old and new bless Lord Ned and the North."

"Maester Luwin, Sansa."

The door of the study was not closed. Lady Catelyn stood outside the door and called them, then walked straight in.

"Mother?"

Sansa left her chair and walked over to take her mother's hand.

Maester Luwin nodded slightly, and when he was about to leave quietly, the Lady of Winterfell called him.

Then, she glanced in the direction of the door and asked, "Where have the gray robes guarding the study gone?"
