-------------------------------
"Come and have a seat. We need to talk." Said Edward with a serious expression as he looked at Arya. Arya sensed something and nodded her head and took her seat while Wilyam was still unwilling to go on with what his father decided. But with one look from Arya, he listened to Edward's words in the end.
"Huh, listen carefully, little Arya..." Said Edward as he started explaining what happened to her father and the rest of her family. But to make things easier for her, Edward told her that Bran was alive but went far North behind the Wall.
After hearing what Edward said, Arya's expression changed for the worse. What was the point of her training? She wanted to be strong to protect herself and her family, but most of them died in the end.
Wilyam put his hands around her and kissed her head to console her when some tears started to build up. You have to know it became hard for someone to cry or even had tears after training with the faceless men.
As for Wilyam's action, it made Edward look at his son in a different light. Edward did not expect Wilyam, who was idiot enough to cause Edward a headache, to have this man inside him.
Edward wanted to give him a thumbs-up for doing that. Wilyam must have done it with Arya, or the protective Arya would never let him do that to her and would have punched him in the face instead.
"I am sorry that I could not save them, little Arya. But your father did not listen to my words in Winterfell and rode south with Robert. And while I was not here, Joffrey and Cersei killed him. Your mother's death was your brother Rob's fault for listening to Theon. As for Rob, he did not listen to my words or your sister's. In the end, I could only save Sansa while Jon was defending the North." Said Edward faking his sadness. The only one that he did not like his death was Ned Stark. As for Catelyn and Rob, Edward did not give a shit about those two.
"But since you are both out, it is time to take revenge against those who hurt your family. I did not kill House Frey and left it for both of you." Said Edward as he looked at the two. In the end, Arya nodded her head and stood up to leave, and Wilyam followed her.
"Where is Sansa?" Asked Arya as she stopped to look back at Edward. She missed her annoying sister and wanted to see her before riding to the North.
"You would find her in her room. She is still crying after Rob's death." Said Edward as he dismissed her with Wilyam. Due to Rob's death, Edward did not manage to wed Sansa to his son, Lyonel.
After hearing the whole story from her sister and knowing the details behind what happened, Arya was angry at Walder Frey, Theon, and the Lannister that she swore to take revenge with her own hands. She started preparing for her journey to the twins to kill that motherfucker Walder Frey before finding Theon and the Ironborns to kill.
As for Wilyam, he did not do anything the whole time except following her tail. Edward did not know what happened between those two in their training with the faceless men, but he did not believe that nothing had happened between them.
According to their ages, Wilyam was fourteen while Arya was thirteen at this point. Wilyam could do it and have sex with anyone since Edward himself did it when he was only thirteen, but Arya was still young for doing that.
A noble lady would get married or had sex at fourteen or fifteen at most. So Edward did not really know if those two had already had sex or not, but he decided to ignore this problem anyway. The two were meant to marry anyway, and Edward had many things to take care of that made him busy enough to not care about those two's relationship.
Anyway, Arya and Wilyam took three days to prepare themselves and rest well enough before going on their journey. After seeing Arya's expression and her angry eyes, Edward could only pray for Walder Frey. He was afraid that Arya would take the same path Ashara took and torture Walder Frey until she was satisfied.
But Arya was Ned Stark's child, and Edward had more trust in Ned's teaching than his own. Edward knew that his children were a little twisted because of him, and he could not do anything to help since he himself was the same.
A week later,
Edward was on his ship on his way to the Vale while Raymont, who had come back from Essos with his wife and son, took his father's place to observe the war and make suitable decisions.
The other children were doing what they wanted to do, and only Jasmine came with Edward to the Vale.
It was finally time to get rid of Lysa Arryn and Petyr Baelish, who was preparing to ally himself with the Bolton, who took control of Winterfell after the death of the Starks. Of course, Edward would never allow something like that to happen.
As for House Bolton, Edward waited for Ramsy Bolton to kill his father before taking action. He had two reasons for that. Edward wanted to enjoy his game with Ramsy Bolton since he did not want anyone to compete with him in his area of expertise.
Ramsy was mad and cruel and would try to imitate Edward, and Edward would never allow Ramsy to do as he pleased. Only one Edward could live in the same world. As for the others, they could only die.
Plus, Edward had some good impression of Roose Bolton and did not want to kill the man himself. Although Roose Bolton was a traitor and Edward would never let him live, the man was different from Ramsy. At least, he used his head to think before doing something.
Edward was a madman when it came to these things. He would prefer to see some family drama where a son killed his father or a brother killed his siblings. In his eyes, those actions brought some joy to his heart.
Two days later,
In front of the Eyrie,
Edward and his two hundred men were about to reach the Eyrie. Edward was respected in the Vale since he continued to visit the place even after Robert's coronation. Since he spent most of his time in his childhood in this place, Edward would come from time to time and bond with the other lords here.
