"No, I taught him all he needed to learn to lead if the need ever arises. Which it did. And he has done so admirably." Jon Arryn said with conviction.

Ned smiled at his foster father, while Rickard frowned at his friend. Perhaps he had to thank his friend for that. Jon Snow on the other hand rolled his eyes cause he knows that even though Jon Arryn gave him. A lords teaching he also instilled in him the second sons loyalty and honour otherwise there is no way Ned Stark would make stupid decision he was going to make in the future. Oh wait Brandon Stark the elder nevermind maybe all of Rickard Stark's children have some strange thinking process.

"I was also trained to kill my enemies, Your Grace."

"Not well enough apparently" Olenna barked a laugh while Jon Arryn clicked his tongue.

Ned simply sighed.

"As was I."

Q. What happens if Catelyn meets Tyrion Lannister on her way to Winterfell?

A) She will ignore

B) She will Slap him and then walk away

C) She will have him killed

D) She will kidnap him and take him to Vale

"Seriously why do I think it can be anything but the first option" Tyrion said as he drowned the whole cup of wine.

"Because that's how bad your luck is brother" Jamie said

"D) She will kidnap him and take him to the Vale" Jon Snow answered this time without waiting.

"Come on Jon I don't think mother would do something drastic like that at most she will just slap him nad ignore him" Robb Stark said then he chose the second option.

"Maybe you don't know your mother well enough, when it's come to her children she doesn't think at all" Jon replyed with smile as he half turned his head to look at Catelyn who was glaring at him

[Scene changes to an inn along the King's Road. Catelyn is heading back towards Winterfell.]

"I have a feeling things are about to get interesting" Yara whispered to Theon, who frowned at her.

"How?"

"Watch. I can feel it."

"Seven blessings to you, goodfolk!"

"And to you."

"Boy! Bread, meat and beer, quickly."

"Good idea, grandfather. I'm starving. A song while we wait or?"

"Grandfather" Ned snorted. Oh, how Ser Rodrick hated being called old.

"I'd rather throw myself down a well."

"Grandfather may be your last chance if you're heading north. The only music the northerners know is the howling of wolves!"

[Tyrion and Yoren of the Night's Watch enter the inn. Catelyn attempts to hide herself.]

Ned straightened in alarm hoping that both Jon and Robb are wrong and Catelyn ignores Tyrion but he knew his wife well enough to know that it is going to be one of these two options that are going to be correct.

"I'm sorry, my Lord, we're full up. Every room."

"My men can sleep in the stable. As for myself, I don't require a large room."

"Truly, my lord, we have nothing."

"Is there nothing I can do... to remedy this?"

"You can have my room."

"There's a clever man. You can manage food, I trust? Yoren, dine with me."

"Aye, my Lord."

"My Lord of Lannister! Might I entertain you while you eat? I can sing of your father's victory at King's Landing!"

"Nothing would more likely ruin my supper. Lady Stark! What an unexpected pleasure. I was sorry to have missed you at Winterfell."

"Oh no," Lyanna mumbled.

"Lady Stark"

"I was still Catelyn Tully the last time I stayed here. You, Ser... Is that the black bat of Harrenhal I see embroidered on your coat?"

"It is, my Lady."

"And is Lady Whent a true and honest friend to my father... Lord Hoster Tully of Riverrun?"

"Cat..."

"I'm sorry" Catelyn sunk into herself. Even she knew what she was going to do.

"She is."

"The red stallion was always a welcome sight at Riverrun. My father counts Jonas Bracken amongst his oldest and most loyal bannermen."

"Our lord is honoured by his trust."

"I envy your father for all his fine friends, but I don't quite see the purpose of this."

"I do" Tyrion in the hall muttered. Just his luck.

"Ser Frey, how fares Lord Walder?"

"Lord Walder is well, my Lady. He has asked your father for the honour of his presence on his 90th nameday. He plans to take another wife."

"Another at 90?" muttered Daenerys.

"This man... Came into my house as a guest and there conspired to murder my son, a boy of 10. In the name of King Robert and the good Lords you serve, I call upon you to seize him and help me return him to Winterfell to await the king's justice."

[All of the knights draw their swords towards Tyrion.]

"Hahahahaha" Jon Snow laughed at this comedic scene and turned to see the sour face of Robb.

"Of all the stupid-"

"I know!" Catelyn cut off the Queen of Thorns, "I just-I know. So please you don't have to rub it in for me more than this viewing already is."

"The point of us watching is to learn from our mistakes" Ned added, a hand on Catelyn's and his eyes on Lady Olenna, respectful in his gaze. "My wife has made an error in her judgement in a future that will not unfold. She is learning from her mistakes now for that specific reason. There is no need to add to her woes."

Olenna snorted but only shook her head after.

"Jon it's not a laughing matter" Ned Stark said

"Ah, I wasn't laughing on that it's just the face Robb just made was too hilarious for me to ignore." Jon said hearing which Robb couldn't control himself and pounced on Jon.

Jon who already has become super soldier couldn't push him as he still is barely controlling his strength so he let Robb mess with him.

"Thank you, Ned" Catelyn whispered to her husband in gratitude.

Ned smiled at her and patted her hand.

Wrong answer by Robb Stark he loses the chance to answer the next two questions.

Congratulations to Jon Snow for the right answer he gets the knowledge and intelligence of Senku Ishigami the King of the Science Kingdom.

Jon heard a bang in his head and he felt his brain being opened the knowledge of the modern science poured in his head and the idea as to how to use it.

"Who is the Senku Ishigami? Why haven't I heard of a long like that?" Robert Baratheon asked but no one had an answer for him and Jon Snow just ignored him.

[King's Landing, Ned Stark arrives at the grounds where the Tourney of the Hand will take place. He enters a tent where Ser Hugh is being tended to, he enters to speak with Barristan.]

"He looks well" Rhaegar commented, lilac eyes pinned on Ser Barristan. He was happy to see the man still alive and healthy... Yet he couldn't help but feel a little hateful at seeing the man who swore to protect him and his family turn cloaks like he had.

Elia patted him on the hand. She too felt the same, but a lot more than he did. Ser Barristan was a friend, and here he was serving the murderer of her children. Or rather, the man who let it go unpunished. She had always thought the old night to be a man of honour. Guess honour went out the window when it came to saving your head.

"Does Ser Hugh have any family in the capital?"

"No. I stood vigil for him myself last night. He had no one else."

"He'd never worn this armour before."

"Bad luck for him... Going against the Mountain."

"Mhm... bad luck" muttered Tyrion. The boy was silenced, he was certain of that fact.

"Who determines the draw?"

"All the knights draw straws, Lord Stark."

"Aye... But who holds the straws"

[Scene changes to Ned entering King Robert's tent. Lancel, Robert's squire, is attempting to dress him in his armour.]

"You've really let yourself go" Ned said looking straight at Robert.

"It's all the wine" Robert grunted, his face flushed in embarrassment.

"Wine, meat and no exercise" Renly added, smiling when his eldest brother shot him a glare.

"It's made too small, Your Grace. It won't go."

"Your mother was a dumb whore with a fat arse. Did you know that?"
