I'm Going Both Ways On Game Of Thrones

Chapter 40 Dinner at the Stark family

Privately, Steward Viyan, Ser Roderick, and even the servants of Winterfell were quite critical of this.

To be honest, Jon has been able to live safely in Winterfell for more than ten years now, and even has a pretty good life, enough to see Mrs. Caitlin’s extraordinary kindness and kindness!

Although, Mrs. Caitlin has never given this bastard a good face in more than ten years.

But being able to tolerate him living by her side, seeing this child every day, is like being reminded of her husband’s infidelity in person, and being tortured by such pain, Mrs. Caitlin is already amazing.

Ed had nothing to say about this, and even felt guilty about his wife. Many times he wanted to tell his wife Jon’s real life directly, telling her that he had never betrayed their marriage.

But reason prevented him from doing that. The reason why a secret is a secret is that the fewer people who know it, the safer it will be. If Caitlin started to be very kind to Jon because she learned of Jon’s background, such an abnormal situation will definitely attract the attention of those who care.

Caring people,,, yes, they are talking about those important officials in King’s Landing and his good brother King Robert.

Robert can’t wait to kill all the blood of the Targaryen family. If he knows that Jon has taken his fiancee, his sister Lyanna and Rhaegar – the son of Targaryen, Ed is sure, Robert will be the first time. Carrying his warhammer, he ran to the North and smashed Jon to pieces with his own hands.

He knew the character of his good friend Robert well, even though they hadn’t seen each other for so long since the Balon-Greyjoy rebellion in the Iron Islands was settled eight years ago.

Therefore, Ed did not dare to take the risk of telling his wife the truth, so he could only drink the bitter drink by himself.

Thanks to the old god, although his wife Caitlin disliked Jon’s illegitimate child, at least she didn’t kill Jon’s life.

If a tragedy like many illegitimate children of noble families died inexplicably, Ed didn’t know how to deal with it.

After all, he had promised his sister to take care of her son before she died.

Fortunately, this terrible situation that could drive him crazy did not happen, thanks again to the old god.

Everyone was sitting at the dining table, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. Ed liked this kind of atmosphere. In a sense, Ed Stark was considered to be one of the few righteous, upright, and benevolent nobles in Westeros.

He didn’t understand, and he hated the bullying among the nobles, because as the second son, the education he received since childhood was simply the chivalry of loyalty, integrity, and honor that simply brainwashed his subordinates.

Ed’s older brother, the long-dead Brandon Stark, was the heir raised by his father, Duke Rickard-Stark.

In order to prevent other sons from competing for power with the heirs, Duke Rickard, or in other words all nobles, will focus on cultivating the noble character of non-heir sons, in order to ensure the stability and continuation of the family inheritance in the face of brothers and sisters.

However, who would have thought that Duke Rickard and the heir’s eldest son, Brandon, were burned together by the “mad king” Aerys-Targaryen.

It was in such a sudden situation that Ed Stark took over his father’s title and became the guardian of the north, the Duke of Winterfell, and the supreme ruler of the north.

What he learned from an early age was the loyalty, integrity, kindness and other noble qualities of knights, and he did not have the tricks that his father personally taught to become the ruler of the North, the patriarch of the Stark family.

From the tragic ending of Ed Stark’s naive, pure-headed governance in King’s Landing, and his head being beheaded by Joffrey, it can be seen that he is not a qualified politician, and he is completely unable to undertake the heavy responsibility of the former Prime Minister of the King’s Hand. .

Of course, Duke Ed, who is sitting on the main seat at this time and is talking intimately with his important assistants, will not think of the tragic ending of his future.

On the right side of the table, Sansa turned her head to wink at sister Arya as she lowered her head to eat the cake on her plate—a reminder that it was time to speak.

Arya swallowed the apple pie in her mouth, wiped the grease from her mouth, looked up at her father sitting in the main seat, interrupted their conversation, and said directly, “Father! I have something to ask for. You, can you promise me?”

Sansa raised her head and hurriedly looked at her father in the main seat.

“Arya—” Thinking that this daughter, who was giving her a headache, was going to make trouble again, Mrs. Catelyn raised her voice, looked at her daughter with a stern look in her eyes, and warned him not to mess around.

When Ed heard his daughter’s words, he stopped talking with Maester Luwin, and turned to look at Arya, who bravely looked up at him. This daughter, whose personality was very similar to his sister Lyanna, had an ice-like expression on her face. The serious look also melted a little.

He looked at his daughter with gentle eyes, although there was still no smile on his face, “It depends on what,,, if you want to beg me not to let you study with Sister Mordane, then I can tell you right now. , Arya, neither your mother nor I will allow this!”

Robb turned to his sister suspiciously, wondering what weird request she was going to make today.

Bran put down the fork in his hand, his handsome and cute face was full of curiosity, “Arya, what are you going to do? Let’s talk about it first, I don’t want to practice swords with you…”

Rickon was the youngest, only 5 years old. He was sitting in a chair by himself, with a maid by his side to help feed him. Hearing his sister Arya’s request to his father, he stared at Arya with curious eyes, while eating the grilled meat brought by the maid with his mouth open.

Jon, sitting at the end of the left, was eating quietly, trying to be transparent at the table, because he also knew very well that Mrs. Catelyn hated him and didn’t want to make her unhappy, so after all these years He is the quietest person on the table, almost a transparent person.

However, his sister Arya, who is closest to him, suddenly made a request to Lord Ed, which still made him a little curious, and he couldn’t help but look up at Arya.

Maester Luwin, Steward Wayan Poole, Ser Roderick, and Jory Cassel smiled and looked at her with gentle eyes.

Miss Arya is the most popular existence in Winterfell. She is kind, cheerful, brave, and equal to others. Just like her aunt Lyanna, she is very popular in Winterfell.

At this point, everyone looked at Arya, waiting to see what ‘chaotic’ request she made.

Arya was watched by everyone’s eyes, not afraid at all. She didn’t dare to look at her mother’s stern eyes, but looked straight at her father. She knew that only her father would tolerate her little rebellion. *
