"Does this doll have a story?" Myrcella asked.
"Yes! Let me tell you the story of snow white!"
Mufasa sat down next to the big tree, and Myrcella followed suit.
As if knowing Mufasa's story would be wonderful, Arya, Bran, Sansa, and Tommen all came over.
"Once upon a time, there was a kingdom whose entire territory was covered in ice and snow. The kingdom was called the snow white Kingdom." Mufasa began.
"The King and Queen gave birth to a lovely princess named snow white. She had beautiful black hair and skin as white as snow, which was very smooth."
"Unfortunately, when snow white was young, the Queen passed away due to illness."
"She lost her mother's love early in life. And her father married a new Queen from somewhere."
"The new Queen was very young and beautiful. She also brought a dowry: a Magic Mirror."
"She hung the Magic Mirror on The Wall. It could talk to people."
"The Queen often asked the Magic Mirror: Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror, who is the fairest woman in the world."
"The Magic Mirror replied: It is you, beautiful Queen. You are the fairest woman in the world!"
"Whenever the Queen heard this answer, she would laugh happily, 'Giggle, giggle!'"
"But one day, when the Queen asked the Magic Mirror who was the fairest woman in the world, the Magic Mirror said it was snow white, who had grown up. She was now the fairest woman in the world."
Mufasa paused here in the story because he saw Cersei, Jaime, Catelyn, and others had also gathered around.
"You are all adults, yet you come to listen to me tell a fairy tale. Aren't you ashamed?" Mufasa said.
"Mufasa, keep going. I want to know the final fate of snow white and the Queen," Cersei said. She was accompanied by a group of handmaidens behind her, like stars surrounding the moon.
"Alright!" Mufasa swallowed. He felt that Cersei must have realized something.
"snow white was locked up by the Queen."
"Later, she sent a cook to kill her, but because the cook was moved by snow white's kindness, he not only spared her but also returned to give the Queen a false report."
"However, nothing could escape the eyes of the Magic Mirror."
"Later, the Queen sent a hunter to kill snow white, but she escaped deep into the woods, temporarily avoiding death."
"In the woods, the Princess met many Dwarfs. There were seven of them."
"Dwarfs, like me? How interesting! Hahaha!" Tyrion laughed.
"The Dwarfs were very hardworking. They loved gold and jewels and were skilled at digging tunnels and mining."
"With their protection, snow white lived happily in the woods for a time."
"But the Queen felt uneasy as long as snow white lived, so she went herself, transforming into an old apple-selling woman."
"She brought a Poison Apple to snow white's house, asked for water as an excuse, and then gave the Poison Apple to snow white."
"snow white died after taking just one bite of the apple. She lay motionless on the ground."
"Finally, the Dwarfs tried everything but couldn't revive her. They decided to cremate her."
"Was this because they were afraid she would rise up at night, like Waymar Royce whom we encountered?" A'guda asked.
Mufasa shook his head. "It's not the same."
"Just as snow white was about to be cremated, a Prince arrived, riding a white horse and singing a song. Because he rode a white horse, he was called Prince Charming."
"Prince Charming fell in love with snow white at first sight. He leaned down and kissed the Princess's lips."
"At that moment, a miracle happened, and the Princess woke up again. From then on, the Princess and the Prince lived happily ever after." Mufasa concluded.
"The story is finished."
"What was the Queen's final fate?" Cersei asked.
"The King died, and she became the Queen!" Mufasa replied.
"Did she have an heir?" Cersei asked again.
"No!" Mufasa said.
Cersei seemed startled by Mufasa's ending; she stumbled backward and was caught by Jaime Lannister.
"Cersei, are you alright?" he asked.
"It's just a fairy tale! You don't need to take it seriously," Jaime said.
"What does snow white look like?" Myrcella asked, holding the doll in her hand.
"Just like the doll in your hand, but that was when she was little. She must be even more beautiful now that she's grown up," Mufasa said.
"Then, who is prettier, snow white or me?" Myrcella asked, blinking her big eyes at Mufasa.
"Of course, it's you! snow white, though beautiful, is only a character in a fairy tale, but you are real, Myrcella!"
She was very satisfied with Mufasa's answer and flashed a brilliant smile.
Just then, King Robert and Eddard Stark returned. They seemed to have received some news, and their faces were clouded with worry.
Mufasa was surprised to find that King Robert had actually lost weight. He was much more handsome than when he had a big belly.
"Oh, Mufasa is back! Perfect, we have something to ask you. Come here!"
Robert said to Mufasa.
So Robert, Eddard, and Mufasa formed a three-man team, and they began their discussion.
"Mufasa, we met the Green Men organization at the Isle of Faces. They are all Children of the Forest. Although they have been isolated from Beyond the Wall for thousands of years, they are secretly communicating using mystical methods."
"Therefore, we also learned some things about Beyond the Wall," Eddard Stark said.
"What about you? What did you gain from your trip to The Wall?" Robert asked.
"These are the documents we recorded, including the damage status of all castles on The Wall, the possibility of repair, the required manpower, materials, and financial resources, plus some inherent problems with The Wall itself."
"Some Wildlings can climb over The Wall and enter the North. They only need simple tools: nails, hooked shoes, and ropes," Mufasa said.
"As for the most important item, it's in the Black Coffin I brought back. Let's open it when we return to King's Landing. I guarantee anyone who sees it won't be able to sleep, hahaha!" Mufasa laughed.
"Your smile seems a bit unsettling, Mufasa! What exactly is in that coffin?" Eddard Stark asked.
"A corpse?"
"It's a wight! Lord Eddard!" Mufasa said.
"Who is it?"
"Waymar Royce!"
"What, it's him!" Eddard Stark stood up in surprise.
"I was wondering if we should invite his father, Yohn Royce the Bronze, to King's Landing to see his son one last time," Mufasa said.
"He will come! I have already notified the Seven Kingdoms that a grand tournament will be held in King's Landing to celebrate Eddard's appointment as Hand of the King," King Robert said.
"Doesn't that mean I can earn a huge sum of Gold Dragons again!" Mufasa showed an embarrassed smile.
"When the time comes, may the best man win, Mufasa! It's not certain who will take the championship!" King Robert smiled.
"No way, the King will participate himself?" Mufasa asked.
"That's right. I will regain my former glory and let the Seven Kingdoms know that the valiant Robert of the past is back," King Robert nodded.
