A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms - “Ser Duncan the Tall and Lady Rohanne Webber” by Gary Gianni

Chapters of A Song of Ice & Fire - A Dance With Dragons - Bran III      One day I will be like him. The thought filled Bran with dread. Bad enough that he was broken, with his useless legs. Was he doomed to lose the rest too, to spend all of his years with a weirwood growing in him and through him? Lord Bryden drew his life from the tree, Leaf told them. He did not eat, he did not drink. He slept, he dreamed, he watched. I was going to be a knight, Bran remembered. I used to run and climb and fight. It seemed a thousand years ago.      What was he now? Only Bran the broken boy, Brandon of House Stark, prince of a lost kingdom, lord of a burned castle, heir to ruins. He had thought the three-eyed crow would be a sorcerer, a wise old wizard who could fix his legs, but that was some stupid child’s dream, he realized now. I am too old for such fancies, he told himself. A thousand eyes, a hundred skins, wisdom deep as the roots of ancient tress. That was as good as being a knight. Almost as good, anyway.

And best of all, Lord Nestor’s cooks prepared a splendid subtlety, a lemon cake in the shape of the Giant’s Lance, twelve feet tall and adorned with an Eyrie made of sugar. For me, Alayne thought, as they wheeled it out. The cake had required every lemon in the Vale, but Petyr had promised that he would send to Dorne for more. 

The truth was, the princess was braver than her brother, and brighter and more confident as well. Her wits were quicker, her courtesies more polished. Nothing daunted her, not even Joffrey. gabriella wilde as older!myrcella baratheon ♦ requested by vangccgh

Sansa: How many wildlings did you save?

Jon: They didn't come here to serve me.

Sansa: They owe you their lives.

Sansa stans: Yeah she is right!

*Daenerys loses a dragon risking her life to save Jon and then goes north to help defeat the army of the dead*

Jon: Her men gave their lives defending Winterfell...

Sansa: And we will never forget them. That doesn't mean that I want to kneel..

Sansa stans: The genius red wolf of Winterfell is absolutely right once again!! Just because Daenerys helped the north doesn't mean she should expect anything in return. Also, asking for submission is literally a tyrant behavior..

Sansa: Winterfell is our home. And Bran, and Rickon, and Arya. We need to take it back.

Sansa Stans: YAS QUEEN!!!

Daenerys: I will take what is mine [The Throne and Kingdoms her family forged]

Sansa Stans: omg, you're a murderous tyrant who deserves death

“The first Viserys intended his daughter Rhaenyra to follow him, do you deny it? But as the king lay dying the Lord Commander of his Kingsguard decided that it should be otherwise.”

Ser Criston Cole. Criston the Kingmaker had set brother against sister and divided the Kingsguard against itself, bringing on the terrible war the singers named the Dance of the Dragons. Some claimed he acted from ambition, for Prince Aegon was more tractable than his willful older sister. Others allowed him nobler motives, and argued that he was defending ancient Andal custom. A few whispered that Ser Criston had been Princess Rhaenyra’s lover before he took the white and wanted vengeance on the woman who had spurned him. “The Kingmaker wrought grave harm,” Ser Arys said, “and gravely did he pay for it, but …”

“The dragon is time. It has no beginning and no ending, so all things come round again. Anders Yronwood is Criston Cole reborn. He whispers in my brother’s ear that he should rule after my father, that it is not right for men to kneel to women … that Arianne especially is unfit to rule, being the willful wanton that she is.” She tossed her hair defiantly. “So your two princesses share a common cause, ser … and they share as well a knight who claims to love them both, but will not fight for them.” -The Soiled Knight, AFFC
