Chapter 29 Grandpa’s Entrustment

Led by Uncle Edmure Tully, Robb came to his grandfather's study.

Riverrun has a three-sided shape, and the Duke's study is also triangular. There is a protruding stone balcony on the east side, like the bow of a huge sandstone ship.

In Robb's memory, Grandpa Hoster Tully had always been huge, but now he seemed to have shrunk a bit, with all his muscles melting into his bones, and his hair and beard turning completely white.

Uncle Edmure spoke softly: "Father, your grandson is here."

Hearing Edmure's voice, Lord Tully opened his eyes. He had the same blue eyes as Robb.

"Robb...Little Kate's Robb, I remember him, he inherited my eyes..."

Lord Tully's voice was low and painful. He groped with his hands, trying to hold Robb's hand.

Robb stepped forward quickly and took his grandfather's hand.

Although the hand used to be big, it now looks haggard, the skin is loosely covering the bones, and it has long lost all strength.

Even though he was seriously ill, Duke Tully still summoned his vassals without hesitation and fought bloody battles with the Lannister family for his family. This feeling moved Robb a little.

Robb's palm burst into golden light: "Grandpa, it's me... don't speak yet."

Edmure was surprised to find that two golden rings suddenly appeared on the ground. With Robb as the center, a comfortable wave of air erupted.

Edmure had never felt this kind of feeling before, but he had an inexplicable feeling that this was a favor that only God could send down, a baptism that only the most devout believers could enjoy.

【Blessings】

[The prayer of the faded one who has the power of a king.It can include surrounding friendly characters and cure abnormal conditions. 】

The golden light exploded, and Duke Tully, who was wrapped in the golden light, felt warm all over his body.

Originally, his stomach was in great pain, as if there were countless crabs in his stomach. He could only rely on medicine to relieve the pain, but now he is back to normal!

He was surprised to find that he was hungry!

For Duke Tully, who had not eaten well for a long time, this feeling had not happened for a long time. At this moment, he actually wanted to cry.

"I...my body doesn't hurt anymore?!"

Edmure was delighted to see his father's expression change for the better: "What...what's going on? You just..."

Robb explained: "Grandpa's condition is very serious. I can't completely cure it, I can only ease his pain."

"This is already good, this is already good."

Edmure murmured to himself. He hated himself so much when he saw his father in weakness and pain. Now that his father's pain was relieved, he felt extremely relieved.

Edmure said gratefully, "Thank you, Robb!"

Robb waved his hand: "We are all family members, so there is no need to say thank you. If I want to say thank you, it is me saying thank you. We have suffered because of my father."

Uncle Edmure's body was covered with scars and his neck was wrapped in bandages from the battle with the Kingslayer, where he almost died.Duke Tully's eyes regained their vitality, and he looked at Robb with a loving smile on his face: "You were only this small before, but now you can lead troops to fight.

Last night I asked them to carry me to the city gate tower, and I saw it.You did a great job, the torches were like the tide, I heard the screams on the other side of the river, the whole siege tower was on fire.

You are better than your uncle. "

Robb smiled and said, "It's just a trivial matter. Grandpa, it's not just me. Ser Brynden is also here."

When he heard that his brother was back, Duke Tully's eyes lit up: "He is back from the Arryn Valley? Where is little Kate and Lysa, are they here too?"

"My mother went to the Deer House to find Robert's third brother. Aunt Lysa was not here in the Vale of Arryn." Robb shook his head. "She had to take care of her son."

"She should come, how could she not come." Duke Tully was a little dissatisfied, "Heiyu, is he married?"

"No."

Duke Tully was even more dissatisfied: "Huh, I told him, I ordered him to get married! I am his lord, and he knows that I have the right to arrange a marriage for him."

Robb couldn't help but find it funny to see that his grandfather was so old and still had the temper of a child: "Sir Blackfish is very brave in fighting and knows how to use strategies. Without him, it would be difficult for us to fight."

"He has been leading soldiers in wars since he was a child. He does have the ability in this area. He used to be called the Blood Gate Knight, right? This black fish..."

Duke Tully glanced at Robb, then at his son, sighed, and waved to his son: "I have something to say to Robb."

Edmure understood what his father meant and walked out a little disappointed.

"You did a great job, what are your plans next?"

Robb thought for a moment and told the truth: "I want to save my family first. Now I will send troops to attack the Lannister family's territory and put pressure on them, but I don't want to fight to King's Landing. Now The situation is still relatively complicated.”

Duke Tully nodded: "You have a good idea. You are worthy of being Ned's son. I don't have a few days to live, I know. Edmure is not as good as you. If in peacetime, he can still be a good duke. But now, he can't hold the Riverlands."

Seeing that his grandfather spoke so frankly, Robb did not hide his thoughts: "Although Uncle Edmure is not a first-rate leader in fighting, he has a good reputation among the lords and is suitable for managing all matters in the territory.

As for the military, I think Sir Blackfish would be a good candidate. "

Duke Tully stared into Robb's eyes, which were the eyes that inherited him: "You are indeed a thoughtful person, but this is a good thing for our family."

What he meant was that Robb had an interest in the Riverlands, but Duke Tully knew that the current situation outside was critical. The Riverlands had to rely on the North to overcome the difficulties. Surrendering to Robb was not difficult to accept.

Duke Tully is already old and has experienced so many ups and downs on the mainland. He knows what is the most suitable path.

With only such a few men, Robb defeated the Lannister army and captured Jaime the Kingslayer alive. This feat was enough to spread Robb's name throughout Westeros.

In contrast, his son was defeated by James and was captured by the other side. His reputation has been reduced to the lowest level. It is impossible for him to compete with Robb for the position of commander in any case.

Robb looked at his grandfather solemnly: "You are my family, and I will not let any family member be treated unfairly. At any time, you will be the Duke of the Riverlands, and Uncle Edmure will retain his title. .”

Duke Tully looked at Robb and said without saying more: "The future of the Riverlands will be left to you."
