Winterfell was built on a huge hot spring.

The water of the hot springs flows through the walls.

This temperature is nothing at all in summer, and it is often overlooked.

But in the bitter cold of winter, this temperature is enough to save lives.

The Lord's Lady Caitlyn's room was the warmest.

Inside her room, hot spring water flowed through every wall.

Originally from Riverrun in the south, Catelyn grew up in the warm season, and the harsh northern cold of Winterfell did not assimilate her habits, and after more than ten years of marriage, she still misses the warmth of Riverrun.

Ned's room was cold, and there was no hot spring water flowing in the walls of his room.

So at night, Ned rarely spends time in his room, as Caitlyn is not used to falling asleep in the cold air.

Ned got up from Caitlyn's body and walked to the window, opening it to let the cold wind blow on his strong muscles, which made him feel comfortable.

Caitlyn's xiati had a burning pain, which was caused by Ned's impact just now, and the northern man had not learned to be gentle for more than ten years, but her mood was very happy.

"Ned, I want to have another child for you, I want to have another girl, so we have three boys and three girls. Little Rickon has company, too. ”

Ned's muffled voice: "Okay, another one." ”

"You're not happy?"

"Kate, do you really believe that the Night's Watch is here to deliver an oracle?"

"He's here to deliver the oracle, and he wants to run away. ”

"yes, you can't take that guy's word for it. ”

"You want to kill him?"

"The Night's Watch is desperately short of men, one more person is one more strength, and I will not kill him if he returns to the Wall. ”

Any escapee Night's Watch will have only one fate: beheading.

"Kate, do you think the Night's Watch is telling you about the strangers?"

"We will know the day after tomorrow, and our crow will be back the day after tomorrow. ”

"Intuitively, do you think it's true?"

"It's probably a pretext from the Night's Watch to escape, why, Ned, do you think it's true?"

"I'm worried about it!"

"It's true, don't worry, Master Luwen said, strange ghosts can't cross the Great Wall, because there is magic to protect it. ”

"How long have the magic spells on the ice, snow and foundation stones of the Great Wall been, thousands of years, and those magic spells still work?"

"If a magic spell is not understood, it will always work. —Ned, close the window, the cold wind chills the room. ”

"Oh, okay!" Ed said reluctantly. He liked the feeling of the cold wind blowing on his chest after he was done, and he didn't want to close the window.

"The metaphor of the oracle fragment is always hard to understand. Many times, people don't know the true meaning of the oracle, and there are many times when wizards get the oracle wrong, and what the alien sees with his eyes is sometimes not the truth. Ed said.

"There aren't many wizards on our continent right now, and this isn't Yasha. ”

Yasha, the land of shadows on the eastern continent, the easternmost point of the Dothraki Sea, the capital of magic. It would take at least a year and a half to get from Winterfell to Yaxia, and by water, or by land, it would take at least two years.

"Robert will be here in a few days, and you and Maester Lewyn spent the whole afternoon with that Will, what did you ask him?"

Caitlin sat up and pulled the blanket made of shadow lynx skin on the quilt under her neck, covering her slender and beautiful neck, because Ned had not closed the window, and the cold wind was blowing her neck: "Ned, you won't want to know. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"I asked Will about the Death Icewolf, and you know, he'd seen it in the shards of his sleep. ”

"Well, what did he say?" Ed finally closed the window, the cold air pouring into the room was blocked, and Caitlin breathed a sigh of relief, and her hand clutching the animal skin blanket relaxed, and the animal skin blanket slid down, revealing a snow-white neck.

"During the day, in the Sacred Wood Forest, Will said that it was an ominous omen, and I thought he had something in his words, so I went to ask him in the afternoon with Master Luwen, and he said that the doe has no horns, so the deer that killed the Icewolf was a male deer. ”

"The antlers broke in the neck of the wolf, and of course it was the stag that killed the wolf. Ed said, "What's there to explore?"

"Ned, your coat of arms is Icewolf, and Robert's coat of arms is a stag, a stag. ”

Ed smiled and sat down: "Kate, you're too worried, even if the whole world betrays me, Robert won't." We had a conflict, and Robert would jump to his feet and scold him in a terrible way, but in the end, he would get back on my feet. ”

"Maester Lewyn also said that King Robert will not kill you, but Nawell Cao said that he did not say that King Robert would kill Lord Eddard, he only saw that the Icewolf died because of the antlers of a stag. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The oracle's revelation is that the Icewolf died because of the stag, not the Stag who killed the Icewolf. ”

Ed was stunned.

One thing, two statements, but completely different meanings.

Ask yourself if he would die for Robert, if someone endangered King Robert's life and authority......

The answer is yes!

This is the death of the Icewolf because of the stag, not the stag killing the Icewolf.

"Kate, you and Maester Lewyn have thought too much, I don't believe in the meaning of this oracle, nonsense. ”

"Maybe. Catelyn's eyes twinkled.

"Kate, what else did you ask, and what else did you hide from me?How many oracle fragments did that man in black, Will Cao, see?Don't believe him too much, Kate. He may be a liar, but when he returns, we'll get to know the details of that guy thoroughly. ”

"Dear Ned, maybe Will Cao is becoming an alien. If He is truly the Chosen One, we need His help. ”

Only when the two are alone will Ed call Catelyn Kate, which is a nickname. And even in public, Caitlyn calls Eddard's nickname, Ned, which is not taboo.

Her love for him is open and selfless, she is not taboo from the ridicule of others, and she is willing to give everything for him.

The only thorn in the line between the two is Jon Snow.

The only time Ed scolded Catelyn and threw a tantrum was because Catelyn was going to send Jon Snow away.

With the exception of Jon Snow, the two men are very close.

"Well, I believe Will Cao is the Chosen One, what did you hear from the Chosen One?"

He said that it was not a shadow that fell from the remnants of the tower, but a person, and he could even see the man's face clearly. ”

"Who?"

"Bran!"

"That's not what he said during the day in the Divine Wood Forest. ”

"Yes, because we won't believe him because he said it. As if he were talking about the stranger, up to now, apart from me and you, who were half-skeptical of him, none of them believed what he said about the appearance of the stranger. Theon Greyjoy yelled at him at the dinner table as a liar, a deserter, and a coward. ”

"And you believe him now?"

"Aside from the fact that the stranger can excuse his escape, Bran falling from the wrecked tower, and the death of the Icewolf because of the stag are the last things we like to hear, and saying them will only make us hate him more, and it will not do him any good, so there is no need for him to deceive us with these things. Ned, in the name of the Old Gods, go talk to the Chosen One. My eyes don't deceive me, and the Chosen One has a lot of oracle prophecies that are not spoken. ”
