The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

"Mother is coming?" Arya looked forward to it instead.

"When you came back, everyone in Winterfell City had already been alarmed. You left the army and came from the roots of the city wall. Soldiers had returned long ago and told Mrs. Caitlin the news of your return. Mrs. Caitlin also knew you. It's coming to the Shenmu Forest," said Bachelor Lu Wen.

"Come on, then, hurry up to marry us." Will said, kneeling on one knee among the three heart trees, facing the heart tree in the middle.

Xinshu looked at Will with very young eyes. But the age of those eyes is actually not known how old it is.

The son of the forest is relying on the tree of the heart to portray human faces to deliver news and peep into the secrets of others.

Arya also knelt down, and the two knelt side by side. Arya also saw the eyes on the tree of the heart, which were clearly the eyes of a young man.

Bachelor Luwin began to marry the two of them. Under the witness of Xinshu, Bachelor put the book in front of Will and Arya, Will’s right hand was placed on the book, and Arya’s left hand was placed on Will’s right hand. .

Bachelor Luwin began to sing prayers. The sound is bleak, rhyming, similar to an ancient song, dominated by monosyllables and long tails.

Then, Bachelor Luwin prayed for the two and asked them about their vows on love. Will said her vow, Arya also said her vow. Bachelor Luwin sang the blessings of the gods to the newlyweds. Then, the two got up, and Bachelor Luwin took out a pair of jade pendants from his pockets. He put the two jade pendants on the **** of Will and Arya. .

"I announce, Lord Will, Arya Stark, have been married since then, witnessed by the heart tree, and witnessed by the gods." Bachelor Luwin sang loudly.

The footsteps came silently, but Will and Arya heard them, and heard the heavy breathing.

Bachelor Luwin didn't realize it, and continued to speak words of blessings and congratulations.

After the man came to the tree, he didn't show up, breathing quickly.

Will and Arya stood up, and after receiving the blessing of Bachelor Luwin, they held hands together.

Bachelor Luwin said: "Master Will, Arya, do you need me to go back and tell Mrs. Catelyn about your affairs?"

"No, Bachelor, let's go first, and we will come back later." Will said.

"Bachelor, we will tell our mother ourselves." Arya's words were full of joy.

From then on, Will and her are one family and will never be separated. In life, there will always be a person who belongs to her, and she belongs to him.

"Good!" said Bachelor Luwen. He and Will hugged tightly, and he hugged Arya tightly, reluctantly, with moist eyes, as if he had married his own daughter.

Bachelor Luwin turned around and hobbled away. He is already very old, and Arya's marriage makes him seem to be getting older. In the old man's heart, there are too many memories and disappointments.

The bachelor walked away and couldn't see. Will said, "Mother, come out."

Lady Caitlin Tully was wearing a maroon cloak and slowly came out from behind the heart tree. She showed half of her face and looked at Arya, her eyes reddened.

"Mother!" Arya rushed over, hugging her mother.

Caitlin's tears couldn't hold back anymore, and they fell sternly. Arya never shed tears, this time she couldn't help but tears in her eyes.

Will stood, his eye circles moistened.

This is a good thing, but it always makes people have mixed feelings. There are many things I want to say, but I can't say it. You can forget all the words you have thought of.

The mother and daughter were hugging and weeping behind the tree. Will turned around, facing the steaming hot spring water of Three Eyes, and reached out to wipe a drop of tears. Perhaps this will be the last tear in my life.

The war is imminent, who will leave forever, who will survive, the will of the prophet is restrained, no one can know the end of tomorrow.

The Cold God doesn't know, the Red God doesn't know, the Prophet doesn't know, there is only battle, only time!

The God of Time and Space was watching all of this. Suddenly, the predictive power of the gods was suppressed, unable to predict the future. The power of the Lord God of Time and Space came from past experience.

Caitlin stabilized her mind, wiped away her tears and smiled, and then she and Arya walked out of the tree of hearts.

"Mother!" Will knelt down, "Please forgive me!"

Caitlin stood and looked at Will. Will bowed his head in a respectful manner. Caitlin took a deep breath: "Master Will, from now on, Arya, I will leave it to you." After that, Caitlin Emotionally surged, voice choked, but forcibly controlled, not letting the ending cry appear.

"Yes, my mother." Will doesn't want to say anything brave, "I will do my best to protect Arya and myself."

For the one you love, you must protect yourself. People who have accidents on their own and love us deeply will not be happy.

To protect the person you love, and to protect yourself, you are responsible to the person you love!

This is what Will wants to express.

He will not try to die in battle, he must live well, because he has someone he loves.

Caitlin's eyes were red again, she smiled and calmed down her inner excitement: "Master Will, please get up."

Will stood up.

"Your Majesty Shireen, will be in Winterfell in ten days."

"Oh? Why? Did she say it?" Will asked quickly. When leaving King's Landing, he said to Xi Lin that he hoped she could stay in King's Landing well, provide a strong backing for the army, collect supplies, and prepare for the people's retreat.

Shireen agreed!

"Shireen knows that you and Arya will return to Winterfell to get married. On the day you left Kinglin City, Your Majesty released the raven and asked me to tell you when you come back that she will come to your wedding. And, she hopes to have a wedding with Bran and you in Winterfell."

Will froze.

Xilin has such plans and arrangements? !

It’s no wonder that on the day Will and Arya left King’s Landing, the little girl behaved weird and said that she would come to Winter City to attend Will and Arya’s wedding. She said that she was waiting for Will’s Her notice!

However, Will and Arya did not intend to inform Shireen, nor would they invite anyone to their wedding, a bachelor, three heart trees, a vow, and the wedding was over.

"Shireen is ready to marry Bran Stark." Arya smiled, her face flushed.

"Mother, does Bran know?" Will asked.

"His Majesty Shireen did not tell Bran, but waited for Bran and her to arrive in Winterfell, and then suddenly told him when the wedding was ready." Caitlin said. Speaking of Bran, Caitlin smiled and she was very proud of Bran.

"That must be the best wedding, Shireen wants to surprise Bran." Arya said, her eyes full of expectation.

"Yes, Her Majesty Shireen hopes to borrow your wedding with Lord Will, and also quietly arrange her own wedding, and then suddenly let the Bachelor of Marriage announce that Bran will be on the stage, and then Her Majesty Shireen will say that she will I want to marry Bran." Caitlin smiled, "Unfortunately, your wedding has been completed, and Shireen's careful preparation will fail."

"It won't fail!" Will said, "Mother, you can tell Her Majesty Shireen just as you say Winterfell will hold a wedding for me and Arya and invite her to attend, but in fact, the wedding is for her and Bran. Prepared. Her Majesty Shireen wants to surprise Bran, so we will surprise her."

"This arrangement is wonderful!" Arya said overjoyed.

Catelyn was startled, and then smiled: "Sure enough, it's a good idea!" She smiled, with tears in the corners of her eyes, "Bran has grown up, Rickon has grown up, and Arya is married. , I'm getting old too..."

Will was silent, he knew there was another very unclear sentence: Winter is here too!

"Where is Sansa?"

"Ruth Bolton's illegitimate son was established by him as his heir, named Rams Bolton. This kid is very smart, diligent, and exquisite in swordsmanship. He has been with Sansa and made her through a difficult period... …Day." Caitlin Tully said.

Arya was silent.

Will took a deep breath. He knew what Ramsay Bolton was. In this world, Rams Bolton is superbly cruel and bloody, and he is a master character. Sansa and Rams are very good, which does not surprise Will, Rams is still a top master who is very good at disguising himself, he is a figure with criminal genius.

But why should he mess with Sansa? Because Sansa has Arya as her younger sister and a brother-in-law named Will.

These characters are naturally something Rams can't afford. But that guy will lie dormant, and when there is no chance to gain the upper hand, he will be an extremely well-trained noble child, and, the heir of the Terror Fort, his identity is also very important in the north.

"Rames Bolton is very good, he likes to raise hounds," Will said, smiling.

Since your mother also appreciates Ramsay Bolton, don't let your mother feel puzzled. Deal with Ramsay's affairs and just do it quietly.

"Yes, Ramsay is a master at raising hounds. He has a lot of fierce hounds. In the wolf forest, his hounds hunted a brown bear." Caitlin said, "He peeled off the brown bear personally and gave it away. Made Sansa a warm coat."

"Fort of Terror?" Arya is not optimistic about Rams, "The skinner!" Arya said.

\'That's just a means to fear the enemy. "Caitlin said.

With just one sentence, Will knew that Ramsay had lived in Winterfell during this time, and he captured the hearts of Sansa and Caitlin.

For those who don't know the depths of Ramsay's heart, it is true that Ramsay can't see anything wrong. He did everything seamlessly, turning his cruelty into art.

"Is Ramsay Bolton in Winterfell today?"

"Yes, in the ranks to welcome the army."

"He is a young hero and hopes to help us go to the Great Wall of Despair to fight against ghosts."

"He will go, he is eager to make merit."

"That's good, we are short of manpower, especially his outstanding young noble children."

"Is he an illegitimate child?" Arya said.

"He has been granted a legal status by Lord Bolton, he has been given the Bolton family's surname, and he is the heir of Fort Terror." Caitlin said.

Will nodded, agreeing with Mrs. Caitlin.

*

At night, Will and Arya came out from the living room of the main castle together. Will climbed the fence and jumped into the sacred woods. Arya also followed, but she didn't know what Will was going to do.

"Will, what did you bring me to Shenmulin?"

In the hall, there were a lot of people who congratulated Will and Arya on their newly married, many nobles in the north, and the generals and jazz of Winterfell, disturbed and kept coming.

Neither Will nor Arya did publicity to the outside world, but for some reason, everyone knew that he and Arya had become husband and wife, and it was today, witnessed by the Heart Tree in the Forest of Gods.

Starting in the afternoon, Will and Arya received gifts and received softness. In the evening, more people came to give gifts, from generals to soldiers, from nobles to civilians.

Weir and Arya could not push, but Will has more important things tonight. He found a reason, took Arya, out of the main fort, and overcame the wall and entered the sacred woods.

Arya asked Will what brought her to Godwood Forest. Will didn't answer, holding Arya's little hand and left.

There was heavy snowfall, the sacred tree forest was white, and the big trees were covered with thick snow. The two were walking fast on the heavy snow!

"Where are you going?" Arya asked in a low voice.

Will still didn't answer. The two passed through the sacred woods and the passage of the glass garden. On the opposite side, was the tomb of the Stark family.

Will held Arya and went straight to the tomb.

"What are you doing?" Arya was surprised.

"There is a big secret below, it's time to let you know." Will said.

"What's the secret?"

"One is the secret of Winterfell Hot Springs, and the other is the secret of the undead."

"Winter City Hot Springs?"

Will and Arya came to the gate, which was locked and reinforced with chains. But Will stretched out his hand and opened the chain. The lock was not really locked, it was just hanging on it.

Arya looked surprised.

The tomb of the Stark family is not his own family, and is usually guarded very tightly. Even if the army entered Winterfell today and distracted the soldiers, the chains and locks were definitely locked.

But not!

The two stepped in. What surprised Arya was that the inside of the tomb was always cold, colder than outside. Every time she entered, she felt this bitterly cold, but this time, it was warm inside.

Actually, it's not that the tomb is getting warmer, it's that the winter is here and it's getting cold outside!

The two walked down the steps, and Will lit a torch. Arya was surprised again. She could see that someone had prepared a torch for them in advance. Will went all the way, putting the torch in the crypt one by one. ignite.

Holding a torch in each hand, the two walked past the rows of stone statues. They walked past the statue of their aunt Leona Stark, past the statue of their father Ed Stark, and walked past a silent stone statue. Behind each stone statue lies a Stark family. Ancestors.

Arya suddenly stopped and squeezed Will's hand: "Who?" She asked softly.
