Capítulo 83: Complicated guests
Any recommendations or opinion so far is appreciated
If there are spelling mistakes, please let me know.
Here is a chapter that I have in Spanish only that it took me almost four hours to translate from my cell phone, just to shut the mouths of those who think I need to lie that my computer is broken, if I want to leave this story abandoned I will tell it directly to you.
-------------------------------
POV of Eddard stark
The whole war was based on a lie... so many people died because of a damn lie... my sister was not kidnapped by Rhaegar, she decided to run away with him because she did not see a future with Robert... you didn't have to be a genius when Lyanna met Robert he already had a bastard child that he had to take care of while we were together in the vale.
For some reason, the letter in which she explained everything never reached us... at first, Robert didn't know what to do, but my older brother Brandon was the one who acted with more determination and provoked everything that led us to have no choice but to rebel against the Targaryens because even though everything was an accident it didn't change anything that Aerys was mad and wanted the heads of all the traitors he had seen plotting against him.
Only if we had come sooner....
They were the words that haunted me and they were not mine, they were Charles', the Teutonic Maester of the Prussians, my sister was practically abandoned in that keep while she was pregnant, with no one to help her to suffer from the heat of the area and no Maester to help her through the difficult labor.
Charles had proven to be a fantastic doctor, our trip was not free of complications, as our group was too large to go unnoticed, without considering that the area was a frequent battlefield between Teutonic knights and Dornish riders on several occasions someone ended up wounded and in a matter of seconds Charles stitched your wounds to perfection.
Unfortunately with Lyanna, she had lost a lot of blood even though Charles managed to cut the bleeding, she was very weak she even died once..., but Charles somehow managed to revive her, although only for a few seconds more where she finally gave her last words.
Aegon... protect him... promise me... Ned...
Charles was devastated that he couldn't save my sister, since he wasted so much time fighting against Ser Arthur dayne
But who could blame him... Ser Arthur was not going to break his oath, he was too loyal to do that, the only thing to do was to kill him and he was not going to make it an easy task
A Teutonic knight challenged him to a duel while the other members of the order eliminated the rest of the royal guard, but when the other royal guards were dead so was the knight who challenged Ser Arthur.
Charles was next, and the combat was... glorious
The fight lasted several minutes where the skill of both knights was extremely visible... both looking for the weaknesses of the other with their eyes fixed on each other waiting for someone to make a mistake.
All the blows they gave each other were fast and powerful, looking to kill their opponent, but it seemed that the weapon used by Charles, a two-handed axe, gave him the victory.
After dodging a thrust Charles made a feint making that he was preparing to give a blow with his axe... but he only hit Arthur Dayne's face with the axe handle... the blow stunned him for a few seconds enough for Charles using the axe head to hook his leg and make him fall to the ground hitting his head.
It all ended with one more blow that almost decapitated Ser Arthur on the spot, and the rest is history
When we were returning to the capital I could not convince Charles to keep the secret, he was unable to lie to his apprentice, although Charles had shown himself to be as honorable as he claimed, the one who was his master, did not seem so
his less than honorable tactics and using deceit as a basis had made most of the lords distrustful of him... and so did I
Although so far, he had kept the secret locked up, I was forced to tell my wife the truth....
It was not easy at all, since when she was waiting for my return I tried to explain to her as soon as I could about what had happened about the true identity of my bastard son... but she reacted in a very violent way that did not allow me to explain things... for several days because she refused to see me
When she finally calmed down and I was able to explain everything to her, that the bastard she really hated was my nephew and that the reason I decided to lie was to fulfill my promise to my late sister to protect the child from Robert's wrath if he found out...to my surprise she understood.
All the doubts I had about telling the truth... were quickly resolved... Catelyn began to actively help me care for the child
Because I also told about the threat the Prussian boy had made to me, if he finds out about any mistreatment or discrimination against my nephew, he will personally tell everything to Robert and will lead his army to take my head... for being a traitor against the crown and all those involved
Although Charles seemed like someone who exuded kindness with his warm smile his apprentice seemed he didn't learn much from his master.
And that was my present concern because, if lord Hohenzollern kept to his word to see that the boy was well treated, a caravan would soon arrive bringing a group of Prussians and doctors to make a report on my nephew's life.
I was quite worried when they were already almost a moon late, especially when a heavy snowfall of summer occurred, which could have killed many of the southerners who are not accustomed to the northern climate.
Because of this, I set out with an escort on the royal road to look for them, as we had received a letter that they were near.
After a journey of a few hours, I found that there were men sliding on the snow.
The moment they made eye contact with me, they quickly began to surround us making circles with the pieces of wood they had on their feet and began to draw their bows and point them at us.
Until one of them approached
''You are a Stark... I suppose the lord of the north?'' said a man with the head of a white wolf and a face covered by a piece of cloth
''Yes I am... I am Eddard Stark paramount lord of the north and lord of Winterfell'' I said to the suspicious man.
''Well... we wanted to talk to you... what happened to us in your lands is a bad joke?'', said the man with a terrifying voice.
''What do you mean?'', I said a little nervously observing that the other wolf-headed men were drawing arrows.
''On the way to Winterfell we encountered several hundred bandits, thieves, looters who tried to take our belongings'' said the man as he placed his hand on a dagger he had in his belt
''Since the war ended there has been an increase in these acts, everywhere it has happened'' I replied to the wolf-headed man.
''Ah... I see... then why were those men we captured wearing armor and weapons of house Stark?... plus many were veterans of the battle of the trident or the battle of the bells'' the man said keeping his gaze fixed on me
''I...I...I...I don't know...I knew about the increased presence of thieves along the main road, but I didn't think it would be my own men''I said very surprised.
''Interesting...'' said the man making a sign with his hand and his men put their bows away.
''Well... we apologize for our delay Lord Stark, but we had a problem when we were passing through the neck, a lizard-lion attacked the leader of the expedition and we had to stop for a couple of days to check his wound... the man was lucky that thing didn't tear his arm off'' said the masked man.
''But is he fine?'', I asked, looking at a group of men approaching on the horizon.
''Ah, the idiot is tougher than he looks, he killed the lizard-lion that attacked him while he still had his arm trapped in its jaws, he stuck his dagger in the animal's skull...HA,HA,HA'' said the masked man laughing.
We waited for a while and the group of Prussians arrived, led by a huge man with a bandaged arm.
"Lord Stark... Erich von bock... we are grateful for your patience...'' said the Prussian nobleman.
After this somewhat strange encounter we returned to Winterfell apparently the snowstorm was not a problem for them and they kept moving even though the weather was not suitable, they only stopped on several occasions to fight with bands of thieves that were on the road
''We have orders for one of our doctors to check the state of health of a child...we don't know who...I suppose you could tell us who'' lord Erich said looking at me
''Yes, Jon, this way''I said leading the group through the castle.
A Prussian doctor quickly went to see my nephew, checking his body and seeing if he had any kind of health problem, the whole time he was looking at Jon I felt a pressure in my chest that if he determined that he had suffered some kind of harm
''The boy is healthy, he has no physical defects, he has a good size feet and hands he will be tall'' said the Prussian doctor.
Catelyn and I breathed a sigh of relief at those words.
"Well... our first mission is complete... lord Stark we can speak privately'' said the Prussian.
''Sure, follow me'' I said to the Prussian and led him to my work office while my guards and the Prussian's followed us.
