Kapitel 21: The knight of the laughing tree part 2
The second day of the games sees the arrival among the champions of a knight of the house of Hay, as well as a knight of the house of Frey, the knight of the house of Blount being still undefeated.
Seeing these 3 knights, Aslan was rather impatient. Aslan was in his armor and his horse at the edge of the arena where the knights clashed.
When the current fight had just ended, a knight on a brown horse entered. The knight wore mismatched armor which does not really match the size of the knight. The knight was close to 170 cm in height.
The knight wore an iron shield with paint on it. The painting depicted a tree of the gods, a laughing Weirwood. The crowd seeing an unknown knight was not too surprised because strangers often came to become famous, but seeing the laughing tree, some laughed.
"He's finally here, there were countless theories about the identity of this mystery knight on the series and on the book, I'm going to find out his true identity."
Aslan thought while looking at the short knight.
The knight entered the arena and challenged the knight of the Haigh House.
"I challenge the knight of the Hay house!"
A booming voice rang in the arena. The voice was loud and resounded throughout the arena. Aslan could feel something odd in his voice, as if the person was trying to hide his real voice.
The knight of the Haigh House agreed and the mysterious knight got into position.
The two adversaries quickly got into their respective positions. Facing each other, the knight of the Haigh House taunted the mysterious knight.
"Hahaha, why are you hiding under a helmet, are you afraid of humiliating yourself in front of the whole crowd?"
The mysterious knight said nothing and ignored the knight of the Haigh house. Seeing that he was being overlooked, he got angry.
"Ha, arrogant, if I win then I'll rip that helmet off your head and watch your appearance."
The two then fell silent and awaited the judge's signal to leave.
At the start, the two knights rushed towards each other with the spears pointed forward.
At the time of the confrontation, the knight of the Haigh House target at the chest of the mysterious knight, but it was futile. The mysterious knight tilted his body to avoid the spear like an eel and he pushed his spear straight towards the knight of the Haigh house.
The knight of the house of Haigh was thrown from his horse.
Everyone was amazed, although the knight of the Haigh House was not a great knight, it was surprising to see an unknown knight defeat an experienced knight in one turn.
Cheers overwhelmed the mysterious knight.
However, it was not over yet. The knight then challenged the knight of the house Frey. The same scene was repeated, the knight of the house Frey was ejected from his horse in one turn.
The knight then challenged the knight of the Blount house and in a turn, he too was defeated. The mysterious knight had become famous for defeating three champions on the third day.
The other two champions were Aslan and another unknown knight.
After defeating the three knights, surprisingly the mysterious knight did not leave the arena and made a speech.
The mysterious knight declared that the three knights should teach honor to their squire and related how they had intimidated a simple squire.
The three knights were ashamed and looked at their squires with a deadly look. The three squires knew they were fucked up.
Then he left the arena with his horse in front of everyone. The crowd was intrigued, wanting to know the true appearance of this knight. Different knights and lords were also intrigued.
Aslan mounted his horse and chased the knight quickly.
Aslan's actions went unnoticed because everyone was still watching the three knights beat their squires.
The only person who saw Aslan's actions was Shaïra.
Aslan caught up with the knight and seeing someone follow him, the mysterious knight made his horse speed up.
The duo will travel around the camps and roads outside the city at high speed, frightening many passersby.
Finally, the mysterious knight stopped at the foot of an imposing tree in a fairly deserted place.
"Why did you follow me?" asked the knight, stopping his horse and looking at Aslan.
"I followed you to see your appearance."
"Why do you want to see her, I don't want to show you it's my choice."
"It doesn't work that way, if you don't obediently show me your face then it will be more violent."
Aslan drew his sword from its sheath and looked at the knight in front of him.
The mysterious knight drew his sword and looked at Aslan.
In a flash, the two swords met.
The mysterious knight wielded the sword in a fast and fluid manner like water, Aslan wielded the sword like lightning, fast, strong and deadly.
Aslan felt that the mysterious knight had fought very little, he had to train mostly, but despite that, he could feel his talent.
Aslan gradually repelled the mysterious knight who deflected Aslan's repeated attacks.
Finally, under a powerful attack from Aslan, the mysterious knight fell from his horse and Aslan pointed his sword at his throat threatening him with death.
"I will never show you my face!"
The mysterious knight did not want to reveal his face and seeing the lack of cooperation of the mysterious knight, Aslan got off his horse and stood in front of the mysterious knight with his sword still under the throat of the mysterious knight.
Aslan did not move his sword and he extended his other free hand to remove the helmet from the knight's head.
In a quick movement, the knight on the ground kicked Aslan's leg pushing him away and knocking him down. He got up and tried to flee.
Aslan seeing this got up quickly and followed him in a short run as Aslan picked up the shield on the ground belonging to the knight and threw it towards the legs of the knight.
The shield struck the knight's legs and he fell to the ground being unbalanced.
As he was blinded because of the fall to the ground, Aslan came to the side of the knight and he bent down to remove the helmet to finally see who was hidden under this helmet.
"No, wait! Don't take it off!"
With a fluid movement, the helmet was removed and long jet black hair appeared.
A definite handsome face and bewitching gray eyes. The woman under the helmet had a face of panic.
"See what we have here. Lyanna Stark, the northern wolf."
Lyanna Stark wanted to get up but Aslan held her on the ground holding both hands.
"Let go of you bastard! I'll kill you!"
Lyanna was looking at Aslan with angry eyes and for some unknown reason, Aslan found pleasure in watching Lyanna wrestle in her grip.
"Why should I let you go?"
"Because I'm a Stark and a fragile woman! "
"Hehe, can a fragile woman defeat three knights and stand against me?"
Lyanna turned her head away and finally, Aslan freed Lyanna from her grip.
"Tell me, where did you learn to fight?"
Hearing Aslan's question, Lyanna did not answer. Aslan sighed and threatened her.
"If you don't answer me I'll get angry."
"... with my brothers ..." she whispered.
"How? Speak louder."
"With my brothers. I fought various knights in the North and also my brothers, but I did not participate in a real battle."
"You are rather wild, haha."
"So what ?! Why can't a woman be wild. Women can also fight like men, one day I will prove to everyone that a woman can also be as capable as men!"
Aslan surprised by his speech, he laughed.
"Why are you laughing, are you kidding me ?!"
Lyanna was angry.
"No, I'm not making fun of you but I want to see if you succeed because it would take time."
"And what, I have time."
"Then I will see if you will succeed one day, for now, I think it's time to separate. Your brothers should be waiting for you."
Aslan stood up and reached out to help Lyanna. Lyanna accepted the hand and the two mounted their horses.
"I never want to see you again bastard !" Lyanna waved her horse and left in the direction of the city.
Aslan shook his head and smiled.
"So the Laughing Tree Knight was Lyanna Stark, that will explain many things."
Aslan left and the only things that remained at the foot of the tree were a helmet and the shield with a laughing weirwood.
On the other hand, after the end of the games, Robert Baratheon and Richard Lonmouth publicly declare to defy it tomorrow and defeat it to unmask it.
Aerys was certain that the man was his enemy. The king was convinced that the tree on the mystery knight's shield was making fun of him. He decided that the mystery knight was Ser Jaime Lannister, who had returned to the tournament, defying Aerys' order to protect Queen Rhaella and Prince Viserys at King's Landing. Aerys shared his beliefs with all the men who wanted to listen and violently ordered his own knights to defeat the laughing tree knight when the matches resumed the next morning, to unmask and expose him.
Aslan returned to his accommodation after leaving his horse with his groom.
At home, he found Shaïra who was asleep on the living room sofa.
Aslan curses himself for making her wait and he steps forward to lift her like a princess and he goes upstairs to put her on the bed.
Aslan took off his armor and put it on a wooden mannequin.
While going to bed at Shaïra's odds, Aslan reflects on the events that should begin in a few months unless he changes the events that should happen in the original chronology.
