The journey of the film and television world is endless [continued]

"That's absolutely fine. It's settled then!" Arya agreed without a second thought. She pointed at the dead robber lying on the ground and said expressionlessly, "Bury this guy's body first. Also, I'll leave all the miscellaneous chores along the way to you."

Beric Dondarrion was very decisive. He nodded in agreement without saying a word, then turned around and ordered his men to deal with the body.

Arya stood there and silently watched the busy people in front of her, but she was secretly calculating in her heart. "This way, not only can we save a lot of trouble, but these people are all experienced warriors. When the time comes, I will bring them to Jon, and they will surely be of great use." Thinking of this, Arya's mouth corners could not help but rise slightly.

After everything was settled, Arya and her group set out on their journey to Winterfell. Along the way, Thoros kept telling Arya about the earth-shaking changes that had taken place in the Riverlands over the past year.

Since the end of the heinous Red Wedding, Robb and Edmure brothers have joined forces to divide the huge Twins. The Frey family, which was once invincible in the Three Rivers, became a third-rate family overnight. However, because the two married women from the Frey family, it was not easy to kill them all. In the end, Perwyn Frey, who loyally followed Robb, was awarded the West Castle of the Twins and lived there with the remaining members of the Frey family; while the East Castle was awarded to Brynden Tully, the Blackfish, so that he could establish a new branch of the Tully family here.

The vast territory extending from the dilapidated and nearly ruined Harrenhal and Whitewall all the way south to the west of the Kingsroad was all divided into Liu Yuan's name. The fifteen knights who originally lived on this land now all became his vassals, successfully creating a buffer zone between the North and King's Landing. Today, the riverlands have finally returned to peace, and the lords of various places have begun to eliminate bandits and bandits in their territories, and reunited their lost people. The riverlands have gradually regained their vitality.

"It sounds like things are going well in the Riverlands," Arya said in a lighthearted tone.

"Indeed," Thoros nodded in agreement, "Your brother's rule is popular among the people, and the officials he appointed are also smart and capable. Now the people of the Riverlands can finally live and work in peace, and because of this, we can leave with peace of mind."

"I really hope that this peace can last long..." Arya murmured softly, and the wars and sufferings she had experienced involuntarily emerged in her mind.

The group continued to move forward, passing through several villages on the way. When the villagers learned that the visitors were from the Stark family, they rushed out of their homes to welcome them. Arya smiled and waved to everyone frequently, and a warm current surged in her heart.

As night fell, Arya and her companions arrived at an inn called "Old Stable" to rest. After dinner, Arya decided to go out for a walk. As she walked with Nymeria, Arya came to a bridge. The river under the bridge shone silver in the moonlight, and the breeze blew, bringing a cool feeling. She stopped and stared at the river, her thoughts gradually drifting away. She was very familiar with this place, where she beat Joffrey. Thinking about the scene at that time, she felt particularly comfortable.

--------------

In the Red Keep of King's Landing, with loud noises of "Bang! Crash~ Crash~", Cersei angrily overturned the table to the ground as soon as she returned to the room.

This afternoon, Queen Margaery not only stole her limelight, but also ridiculed her for being old and ugly. The noble ladies of King's Landing also gathered around Margaery, fawning on the new queen, while also intentionally or unintentionally snubbing and ostracizing Cersei, the queen mother. What made her most furious was that Tommen once again proposed to send her back to Casterly Rock. Cersei knew that it must be that vixen who was fanning the flames behind her back, trying to make her compromise. She must not do as she wished, otherwise, if she let that bitch get her wish, she would be forced to give up all her power and die alone in Casterly Rock.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Cersei took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and shouted, "Come in!"

The young maid entered the room fearfully, her voice trembling as she spoke, "Your Majesty, the High Septon has requested a council of kings. Lord Varys has sent me to inform you."

Cersei tidied up her dress and messy hair, and restored her image as the dignified and elegant queen mother. Before leaving, she looked at the maid with cold eyes and said sternly: "Clean up this place. If I hear any rumors about today, I will pull out your tongue without hesitation!" After that, she turned and left, leaving the maid standing there trembling.

The atmosphere in the royal conference room was tense. Since the last assassination, the door of the conference room had been replaced with a hollow mosaic glass style to prevent similar situations from happening again. However, this did not change Cersei's uneasiness.

After Tywin's death, the position of Prime Minister of the Kingdom has been vacant. Cersei, with her status as the Queen Regent, took over the power and appointed her confidants as ministers of state. Qyburn successfully became the Minister of Justice, while the Duke of Mace served as both the Minister of the Sea and the Minister of Finance. Originally, Cersei also planned to let her uncle Kevan serve as the Minister of War, but he refused on the spot.

Kevan's personality is quite similar to Stannis, and he is very disgusted with Cersei's authoritarian behavior. Since he learned about the improper relationship between Cersei and Lancel, he has become even more disgusted with Cersei. After a fierce quarrel, Kevan did not even go to the front line, but returned directly to Casterly Rock to protest. Before leaving, Kevan also said a harsh word: "You are nothing except the king's biological mother. I will not recognize your authority, and I will never agree with you filling the royal council with flatterers. If the king needs my service, let him come and tell me in person." After saying this, he left without looking back, leaving Cersei standing there with a look of astonishment.

Cersei knows very well that although she has already taken control of some power, Kevan's departure has dealt her a heavy blow. However, she will never give up her position and power easily. She is determined to find a way to consolidate her rule and silence those who oppose her.

In the end, only Tywin's third brother, Tygett Lannister, decided to stay and chose to take up a position in the Red Keep. His other brother, Gillian Lannister, went to the front to lead the troops. In fact, both Tygett and Gillian have outstanding talents, but they have lived under Tywin's huge halo for a long time, which makes them look relatively dull.
