Game of Thrones: From King of Elden to Teen Wolf Lord

Chapter 12 Please help me get married

Robb chuckled and said, "It seems that Aunt Lysa is very doting on my Uncle Robin Arryn."

Caitlin didn't expect her son to actually have the heart to make such a joke: "Be serious, that is your aunt after all! Although she didn't come, Uncle Blackfish followed me."

What the two were talking about was related to the marriage relationship between nobles. During the reign of the Mad King, the lords and heirs of the Stark family once went to King's Landing to ask for an explanation. Unexpectedly, they were killed directly by the Mad King.

When the lord and his eldest son died suddenly, the second son Ned Stark took over the title of Duke of the North.Rebellion wars broke out as a result.

At that time, the Eagle Lord of Arryn Valley adopted Ned. That Eagle Lord was Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King who died suddenly.

It can be said that this Jon Arryn is Ned's adoptive father, but this Duke married the sister of Ned's wife Catelyn, who is Robb's aunt Lysa Tully.

So Robin Arryn, the current lord of Arryn Valley, is both uncle and cousin to Robb, and the relationship is complicated.

Robb stopped joking with his mother and started talking about business: "I have been prepared for Aunt Lysa not to come. Your relationship with her is not good to begin with."

Caitlin was heartbroken by her sister: "I didn't expect her to be so heartless. After all, Ned is her family."

Robb comforted: "It doesn't matter. It's enough that grandpa and uncle's family are willing to help us."

Then Robb told his mother all about the recent battle.

Caitlin still doesn't know the status of the Tully family's war, so when she heard her son say that the Tully family were being beaten and retreated, her face turned pale, not to mention that Tywin was leading the army in the river. The tragic retribution of massacre in all directions.

She asked with a trembling voice: "What...are you going to do?"

Robb looked into his mother's eyes: "I told my men that we will gather all our forces to confront Tywin's army and prepare for a decisive battle on the King's Road."

"What about your grandpa and Uncle Edmure?"

Robb told others his true intentions for the first time: "This is another plan, and I told no one. Everyone will think that we are going to fight Tywin, but I will lead three hundred cavalry to the river." The city supports me, I want to capture the regicide."

Robb took out a map and said to Catelyn: "After we cross the swamp, the army will continue to confront Tywin along the King's Road. I will cross the Green Fork to support Riverrun."

"Three hundred cavalry?!" Caitlin was a little surprised, "How can you defeat James the Kingslayer with only three hundred cavalry as support? He is a knight who has experienced hundreds of battles!"

Robb looked determined: "If you don't fight, how do you know you can win? And this is my military order, and I will not change my mind."

Seeing Robb's stiff tone and confident expression, Catelyn could understand to some extent why those lords were respectful to their son.

Before he knew it, his son had become a tough man.

Caitlin continued to ask: "If you leave the army, who will lead the main force? Tywin is not a kitten, he is an old and cunning lion. He has more soldiers than you, and the cavalry is far beyond. Your main force is at risk of being eaten at any time."

Robb answered patiently: "I can only choose Old Skinner. I don't like that guy, but Greatjon and Rickard Karstark are both too reckless. I need someone to hold Tywin back instead of rushing in." An idiot to fight Tywin." "But I am also going to let Meech Severn serve as the deputy commander. Although he does not have much military talent, he has the same cautious character and will not use radical tactics to cause conflict with Old Skin. The key is to help me keep an eye on Lao Pei.”

Caitlin actually knows these lords very well, and her ideal candidate is Roose Bolton. She is very happy that her son is not only tough, but also has the ability to recognize and employ people.

Caitlin looked at the map and immediately saw a key that hindered Robb's plan: "Now there is another problem. If you want to cross the Green Fork River, you must go through the only ferry, Luanhe City, where is Frey. The territory of the Marquis, the late Marquis Frei. Although this man swore allegiance to your grandpa, your grandpa never trusted him."

Neither of them discussed the capture of Luanhe City, because this castle was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and Riverrun City was in a critical situation. There was no time to waste on this hard nut now.

Caitlin thought for a while: "Let me go and talk to him. No matter what the conditions are, we can talk to him."

Robb smiled: "No, when I meet Marquis Frey, I will make him an offer he can't refuse. You should go..."

In Robb's opinion, Caitlin's political negotiation skills are actually very impressive, so asking her to talk to a mere Marquis Frey is really overkill, so he expressed his long-planned ideas.

Catelyn misunderstood and thought Robb was going to send her back to Winterfell.
"I'm not going back to Winterfell," she heard herself say, and was surprised to find that the sudden burst of tears had blurred her vision. "Your grandfather is lying dying in Riverrun, and your uncle is also surrounded by enemies."

Robb quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe his mother's tears: "Of course not, I have a big thing for you to do. I need you to go to the Rose Family in Highgarden and negotiate with them about something."

"Highgarden?" Caitlin was a little confused. Although the Stark family and the Tyrell family were both dukes, they had very little interaction with each other.

Robb said without changing his expression: "I heard that those Roses of Highgarden are getting married now. I think we should get married to increase our relationship."

"We don't have a deep relationship with High Court. This matter..."

Robb spread his hands slightly: "The Tyrell family sits in the rich Highgarden, and our team is almost running out of food. Marrying with their family can greatly alleviate our food problem.

I also heard that they intend to marry King Robert's third brother. As long as they don't support the Lannister family, we can win over them.But King Robert's third brother likes men, so I think their marriage will definitely not succeed.

I know that our family is not familiar with them, so I need you, mother, to go there in person.When you arrive, I will also fight a perfect battle to enhance my prestige.

The Tyrell family has no ambition to dominate the continent and only wants to make their daughter the queen. When they see that we have hope of replacing Joffrey, they will naturally agree to our marriage. "

Robb said a lot, and Catelyn felt that what her son said made sense. It would be a good thing to have an extra ally at this time, so she agreed.

The two problems Robb wanted to solve at the beginning were the obedience of the northern lords and the food and fodder needed by the army to start the war.

Now that the first problem has been solved, the second problem can be solved through marriage with the Tyrell family.

Of course, as Robb said, only the Tyrells can see that the Starks win and continue to win until they ascend to the Iron Throne, and they will bet on Robb.

Then the next battle to support Riverrun City will be crucial.
