Chapter 268

"The child was found..."

"Right at marksman Morgan..."

"Chase!"

In the dark forest, the rear guard team from King's landing city immediately shouted and chased the figure galloping ahead with a torch in hand.

Ahead, Morgan, who finally found aliya stark, pulled the reins without saying a word, hissed "Radish" under him, and immediately turned around and rushed in the other direction.

Such a dark night.

In the woods with dense trees and thorns.

Even if Morgan can see at night, he must have full spirit to control the "Radish", so as not to hurt the "Radish" and catch up with the group of Jun Lincheng guards behind him.

Although what I just said was full of momentum.

But those are the king's guards. Even if many people come from Kaiyan city of Lannister family, they are the king's guards after all.

Morgan didn't intend to conflict with them unless he had to.

After all, I am not loyal to the stark family as they say, let alone a courtier of the stark family.

When he accepted the entrustment of a swordsman, he signed only an ordinary entrustment employment agreement.

Although there were a lot of things that happened in succession, Morgan's performance was just too good.

This makes the stark family pay attention to it.

Morgan came to the city to learn more about the country, not just to work for the stark family, but also not to offend the king for them.

After all, it's okay to offend Prince Geoffrey baratheon.

He's not a king yet. He's far from it.

If you offend King Robert baratheon, even with the former Prime Minister Ed stark.

Morgan won't feel safe in King's landing.

He was always cautious, and he dared not underestimate Robert baratheon, a founding monarch who overthrew the rule of the mad king and founded the baratheon Dynasty.

In spite of his face, King Robert would not necessarily do anything to Morgan.

But Morgan never intended to place his safety on the kindness of others.

As for when Geoffrey baratheon is really king.

It's hard to say whether Morgan was still in King's landing or not.

This is why he dared to offend Prince Geoffrey.

"Over there..."

"Chase..."

"Come on..."

Behind him, in the dark woods, the fire flickered.

Knowing the target, all the guards of King's landing city who came out to look for rushed up.

But Morgan rode wildly through the woods.

Although the speed can't be compared with the open wilderness outside, it's easy to get rid of a group of soldiers running on foot.

Although some bitter, the orange horse "Radish" under him.

Even if Morgan could see the night vision and see everything around him in the dark.

However, such a big horse can't avoid being hung by sharp leaves or dead branches on both sides of the messy road.

"Radish" hummed and gasped.

Morgan rode away from the pursuers behind him and rushed deep into the woods.

The woods are not very big.

He had observed it before riding in search of Elia.

As long as he walked through the woods, he would soon be able to return to the temporary rest camp and take Elia stark to Duke ed stark.

This afternoon.

Because the snowstorm stopped completely, the sky cleared up, and the reason why we didn't start until tomorrow.

Many people in the motorcade came out and started their own activities.

Wild child Elia is even more restless.

Morgan had several guards from Winterfell follow Elia and Sansa stark.

He's the only one who kept aria stark out of sight for a short time.

As a result, this happened.

To some extent, what happened to Elia has something to do with Morgan.

After all, ed stark told me himself before.

Morgan also promised to take care of the two Starks.

"Bang Bang..."

The sound of horses' hoofs came from far and near, breaking the darkness and silence.

Morgan rushed out of the dark woods with Elia stark and headed for the hazy, pale and snowy wilderness.

At the same time.

In another dark forest.

A large number of figures shook and the fire flickered.

"Elia..."

At the front of the line, ed stark shouted around with a raging burning oil torch.

The guards behind them were also shouting Elia Stark's name.

"Elia..."

Unable to hear any response from around, ed stark looked worried and eager.

He already knew that the disappearance of his youngest daughter Elia was related to the prince Geoffrey.

But whatever happened between them.

He wants to find his little daughter now.

Such a cold snow night.

As the temperature drops at night, you will freeze to death outside for a long time.

Besides, I don't know if aliya was hurt.

"Elia..."

Ed stark continued to shout.

Just then.

A horse galloped from the rear line.

"My lord..."

As soon as the guard captain Kelsen stopped his horse, he shouted to ED stark ahead.

"Lord stark, I found your daughter!"

Kelsen's team jumped off the horse and strode towards the tall figure in front.

At this time, ed stark finally heard the voice from the rear, turned to the hurried Kelsen and hurriedly said, "is Elia hurt?"

"Where is she now?"

Facing the Duke's questions, Kelsen quickly walked up to ED stark and gasped, "I just got the news."

"Miss Elia was found by Mr. Morgan, in front of the lannisters."

"But those lannisters didn't catch up with Mr. Morgan..."

"Mr. Morgan must be on his way back to the temporary rest camp with Miss Elia."

Captain Kelson finished in one breath.

Ed stark was relieved to hear Morgan's name and the result.

But soon, after hearing Kelsen's words that "those people of the Lannister family failed to catch up with Morgan", his face immediately became dignified.

Why are the lannisters so anxious to find Elia?

Did something important happen?

All kinds of associative thoughts flashed through my mind.

Ed stark immediately recovered himself and said in a deep voice, "let's go back, go back now!"

"Come on..."

Ed Stark's command sounded.

Soon, a group of winter city guards, with oil stained torches, quickly walked towards the camp under the leadership of the Duke.

"Bang Bang..."

The sound of horses' hoofs from afar broke the calm of the night.

It is very dangerous to run a horse in the snow less than half a meter deep.

But fortunately, the snow fell in these two days. The snow was soft and far less dangerous than the solid snow surface.

"Elia, what the hell happened?"

Morgan turned and looked behind him. He saw that the rear was completely silent and dark, and he couldn't see a light of fire. Then he asked Elia stark in front of him.

"Mr. Morgan, Geoffrey bullied my friend and abused you!"

Aliya, sitting in front of Morgan, said angrily as soon as she heard Morgan ask.

"What's going on?"

"Speak carefully and tell the process from beginning to end."

Morgan looked calm and asked again, looking at the little man in front of him.

"Well, here's the thing..."

"Geoffrey hurt my friend with a sword..."

"Geoffrey also abused the fencing you taught me, Mr. Morgan..."

"I beat Geoffrey easily with the sword skill my teacher taught me..."

"Geoffrey became angry with shame..."

"At this time, namelia rushed out and bit Geoffrey's hand..."

"As for the back, I ran away..."

Elia stark finished all the story in one breath.

Morgan finally understood the cause and effect, and then asked, "you said your ice wolf bit Geoffrey's hand?"

"Yes."

"Namelia is very powerful, but I know it's serious, so I let namelia go, and I let it go."

Aria stark nodded.

Obviously, the rebellious child is not stupid. He realizes the seriousness of biting his Highness the prince and knows to let the ice wolf go.

"Since you hurt the prince Geoffrey, we can't go back so rashly..."

Morgan suddenly opened his mouth as he looked at the temporary rest camp glittering with huge fire in the distance ahead.

As soon as he pulled the reins in his hand, the "Radish" immediately slowed down and stopped quickly.

"No, where are we going?" aliya asked immediately.

"Go where you should go, of course."

Morgan said and pulled the reins. "Radish" immediately turned his horse's head and continued to walk towards the south forest.

Just walk in a completely different direction from when you came.

"Bang Bang..."

The sound of hoofs sounded again.

Aliya sat quietly in front of Morgan this time.

Today, she easily defeated Prince Geoffrey with an iron sword with a wooden stick.

Let her realize that Morgan's teaching behind her gave her strong swordsmanship.

It also made her more respect Morgan, which is why she called Morgan a teacher like her brother Brandon stark.

From today on, aliya is ready to call Morgan a teacher and will concentrate more on the fencing she learned from Morgan.

"Bang Bang..."

The hoofs rumbled.

Soon after ED stark rushed out of the woods with a torch and a group of guards behind him, he heard the sound of horses' hoofs in front of him.

Soon, when the figure of a horse quickly appeared in the dim snow wilderness in the distance ahead.

Ed stark immediately greeted him.

"Lord stark..."

Seeing a large number of fire in front of the team, Morgan recognized the tall figure in front and shouted.

"This is... This is Mr. Morgan's voice!"

Captain Kelsen, who was immediately behind ed stark, spoke quickly.

"I heard it."

"Come on, keep up..."

Ed stark nodded, clamped his horse's belly and rushed forward at once.

Soon, when Morgan and Duke Ed's team met.

When Elia stark saw her father, she immediately shouted with excitement.

Morgan put down Elia and watched the rebellious child rush towards ed stark.

The crowd did not stay long.

Soon, the large team headed for the temporary rest camp again.

Morgan rode around ed stark on a turnip and listened to Elia stark repeat to her father the causes and consequences she had told Morgan before.

Ed stark listened and immediately turned to Morgan.

I feel that the former Prime Minister beside me seems to have more trust in himself because he saved Elia this time.

Murmuring in his heart, Morgan nodded and said, "His Highness Prince Geoffrey's character is really" strange ". I believe what ELITA said."

"Moreover, when I first found Elia, the guards of King's landing City reacted a little..."

Morgan said calmly.

When it comes to kings, queens and princes, Morgan speaks normally, but there is a hidden meaning in his words.

Ed stark heard it easily.

"I see..."

"Go, go back first."

Ed stark nodded, pulled the reins, and the horses under him immediately sped up.

When she heard what her daughter Elia said about her ice wolf biting Prince Geoffrey.

Ed stark knew it was bad.

The queen cersei Lannister, who was born in the Lannister family, loved the prince Geoffrey very much.

Elia's ice wolf bit Geoffrey, which would certainly make the queen angry.

In addition, the other party was obviously dissatisfied with his arrival in Junlin city.

Ed stark knows the trouble.

But if you're in trouble, you have to find a way.

The only one who could easily hold down the queen in the huge team was Robert baratheon, the king and old friend.

"It seems that we should go to your majesty first..."

Ed stark rode wildly and looked at the brightly lit temporary rest camp in the distance.

More than half an hour later.

Temporary camp, the largest and most luxurious King's tent.

King Robert baratheon sat alone on the.

Aliya, led by ED stark, and Morgan, who followed.

On the other side stood cersei Lannister, a tall, fair skinned queen with golden waves.

Next to the queen stood Prince Geoffrey, who had been wrapped up, and James Lannister, a handsome Royal Guard in gold armor.

"Now everyone has arrived."

"You two, what's going on today?"

Asked the bloated Robert baratheon, who changed his position on the wide seat and looked at the two children in front of him.

"She and the butcher apprentice attacked Geoffrey, and she let her pet attack Geoffrey."

The client's aria and Geoffrey haven't spoken yet.

Standing aside, Queen cersei Lannister couldn't wait to speak.

"Be quiet, Queen..."

Robert baratheon glanced at the queen next to him and then looked at Elia: "is that true?"

"Not like that."

"He wanted to kill my friend, and namelia just bit him gently."

Elia retorted immediately.

"I didn't want to kill him. You two attacked me with sticks and let the wolf bite me!"

As a party, Geoffrey finally spoke and hurried to answer.

But at this time, in Morgan's eyes, Geoffrey's posture and look are far from the usual arrogance. On the contrary, he is obviously a little vino, cowardly, and his voice is far less powerful than his opponent Elia.

"It's not like that at all!"

Aliya retorted loudly again.

"That's it. You attacked me together and threw my sword into the river."

Geoffrey continued.

Speaking of lies, this is his best skill.

"You are a big liar!"

Elia immediately yelled at Geoffrey.

"Shut up!"

Geoffrey spoke equally loudly.

"Enough!"

Watching them yell, King Robert baratheon immediately shouted.

"You all have your own reasons. Who do I believe?"

"Was there anyone else present?"

Robert baratheon said, looking at the children.

Elia hurriedly said, "yes, and my friend, but he has been scared away."

Robert baratheon immediately looked at the guard leader of the front King's side facing the city, and the other party immediately replied, "still chasing, I haven't caught him yet."

"Then there is no..."

"If not..."

Robert baratheon continued to speak, but before his voice fell, Queen cersei Lannister interrupted again: "yes, your majesty, that Sansha is here."

Hearing this, Robert baratheon looked at his old friend ed. ed stark immediately said, "Sansa... She's asleep."

"No, she hasn't slept yet..."

The queen answered again, looked at the people behind and said with a smile, "come on, dear Sansa..."

Look at the figure coming from the rear.

Ed stark frowned at once.

Morgan stood aside and looked at Sansa stark. His bad impression of him immediately fell to the bottom of the valley.

When Sansa stark lied in front of her father and sister that she didn't see anything.

When Elia angrily pulled her sister Sansa's hair and shouted a liar.

Queen cersei Lannister smiled.

Just then.

James Lannister, the Imperial Guard, suddenly stepped forward and stood out, looked at the king above and said, "in order to celebrate Lord Stark's promotion to former prime minister, we are willing to have a military contest."

"What do you say, Lord stark?"
