Chapter 268 Duke Ned

Looking at the white-haired beauty with a scar on her face in front of him, although Ned still maintained a gentleman's demeanor on the surface, he was secretly wary in his heart.

After all, in his opinion, this woman is not simple:

According to Maester Luwin's examination, the cause of the woman's wound was a knife wound, and there were no traces of direwolf bites or scratches on her body.

A woman who was alone in the wild was able to kill a direwolf after being attacked by someone unknown. This is enough to prove the strength of this woman!

Of course, if it were just a public security issue involving some wandering robbers attacking a lone woman, it wouldn't be enough for Ned, the Duke, to personally come and take care of it.

What he paid more attention to was the woman's hair color:

Silver-white hair, in this continent of Westeros, is a hair color unique only to the Targaryen family, the dragon family that has ruled this continent for hundreds of years!

There are rumors that the Targaryen remnant 'Daenerys' on the other side of the strait is a young and beautiful woman, which exactly matches the age of the woman in front of her!

Although Ned does not think that the white-haired woman in front of him is the legendary 'Daenerys', it is very likely that she has some connection with Targaryen.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty the Duke. Your men saved my life. I will find an opportunity to repay you."

At this time, Ciri obviously didn't know that Ned already regarded herself as a remnant of the former dynasty, so she still replied politely:

"My name is Ciri, and I am a demon hunter apprentice who traveled to this world to avoid being hunted. So in order not to cause trouble to you, I need to leave here as soon as possible."

"Time travel? Demon hunter? Are you being hunted?"

Ned listened to Ciri's self-introduction with a confused expression. Obviously, this answer was beyond his expectation.

Obviously I can understand every word the other person says, but it seems like I didn't.

Seeing confusion written all over Ned's face, Ciri couldn't help but sigh secretly, obviously not expecting the other party to fully understand what she meant.

But now is no longer the time to explain. She has been unconscious for so long, and the King of the Wild Hunt has probably chased her!

Looking at the children playing and playing outside the window, Ciri could feel that the Wild Hunt seemed to have locked onto her position, so she anxiously requested Ned, who was still thinking with his head down:

"It's too late to explain. Your Majesty the Duke, please return my weapon to me as soon as possible. I must leave here quickly."

Upon hearing this, Ned's brows suddenly furrowed, obviously not understanding why Ciri wanted to leave so anxiously.

Are today's robbers and wildlings still bold enough to attack Winterfell?

After thinking for a moment, a determined look appeared on Ned's face, and then he comforted Ciri, who was still anxious:

"Don't be afraid, girl. Although I don't fully understand what you mean, I probably understand that your situation should be very dangerous, so I can't just ignore it.

Your wounds have not fully healed yet. During this period, you can temporarily live in the castle of Winterfell without worrying about those who are chasing you.

Don't worry, the Stark family guards will protect the safety of this city and will never let anyone suspicious enter Winterfell. You can rest here to recover."

As the [Guardian of the North], he would not just watch a pursuit of a lady in his territory and remain indifferent.

Even if Ciri is really a member of the Targaryen family in the diaspora, the honor of the Stark family will not allow him to die without saving his life.

Whether it was for his own glory or doubts about Ciri's complicated identity, he would not let Ciri die in Winterfell easily!

Seeing the upright Duke in front of her, Xili was moved, but she still shook her head and explained:

"No! You don't know how terrifying those guys who are chasing me are, they are..."

"Nothing is wrong. Just stay in the city and recuperate during this period. Don't worry about anything else.

After your injuries have almost recovered, I will arrange a caravan to take you to the south."

Before Ciri could finish her words, Ned opened the door and prepared to leave. At the same time, he turned to comfort Ciri:

"Don't worry, I will ask the servants to bring you food and daily water. Leave the assassin's affairs to me."

Bang~

Seeing Ned closing the door and leaving without hesitation, Ciri stood there stupidly, obviously not expecting that things would develop like this.

But thinking about it carefully, her wounds have not completely healed. Even if she can open the portal and leave this world now, she will still be unable to escape the pursuit of the Wild Hunt.

Why not... just like Duke Ned said, let's recuperate first?

After slowly lying back on the bed while holding on to the wall, Ciri couldn't help but touch the Witcher pendant on her chest, and then slowly closed her eyes.

There was nothing she could do. She had just recovered from a serious injury, and even her weapons had been taken away by the people who rescued her. Obviously, she was not going to return them to her in a short time.

Fortunately, the Duke named Ned didn't have any ill intentions towards her, so it was okay to stay here to recuperate temporarily.

I just hope the Wild Hunt won’t catch up so soon...

————A few days later, Pande Continent, Emperor Lingang

"This is really... spectacular!"

"As expected of the legendary 'Son of Prophecy' who could unify Pendor. Only a huge battleship like this is qualified to be worthy of His Majesty Rohan, right?"

"So many dragons! With Lady Mist on top, I saw at least hundreds of flying dragons circling!"

…

Countless human warriors were looking at the floating island warships on the sea in the distance in shock, and they were constantly sighing and exclaiming.

They are all young soldiers who have just arrived at Dilin Port. Although their combat skills may not be as good as those experienced veterans, their morale and physical strength cannot be underestimated.

After all, even Druchi warriors who have not received the blessing of Lady Mist will feel very weak when facing more than two Pandor servants.

After nearly a month of gathering, more than 300,000 selected Pandor warriors have gathered outside the city of Dilin Port, covering almost the entire periphery of Dilin Port.

If it hadn't been for Dario's foresight and spending a lot of money and effort to build infrastructure in advance, I'm afraid this city would have been filled with filth and the stench would have been unbearable!

But even so, the total number of Pandor's auxiliary troops, which exceeds 400,000, is enough to overload all the facilities in the city.

If we don’t leave as soon as possible, the mountains of domestic garbage may be enough to completely submerge the city!
