Chapter 314

He climbed down from the broom and stretched his legs.

Flying continuously for four hours from Gulltown to the Eyrie had taken it's toll on his body. His legs had fallen asleep and his back was stiff.

Still, he had finally reached the heart of the Vale so that was something.

He looked down from the balcony he had landed on before he wore the camouflage cloak and entered the castle.

Unlike Dreadfort, these people could not afford a steady supply of Whale Oil so their corridors were rather dark aside from the little bit of moon light entering through the small windows.

That served him just as well.

He took out an eye patch and wore it on his head. Instantly, one of his eye gained a night vision.

He had created this for Ygritte so that she could hunt down any person at night and had made a copy for himself as well.

He walked around in the dark corridors until he came across a guard who was sitting on a chair outside a room and yawning while looking half asleep.

He sneaked inside and closed the door behind him.

"Muffliato." He cast around and room and sighed.

He moved toward the sleeping woman and instantly recognized her as Lysa Arryn.

She look much more haggard and tired than before her husband's death.

Running the Kingdom of Vale must be taking it's toll on her.
