Lord Shelby:
@keepfciththe meeting was one he had been expecting for a while. when the battle of the bastards waged on, he backed neither Stark nor Bolton, he wasn’t about to start backing them now. ‘ forgive me, lady Mormont, but I truly don’t see WHY I should bend the knee to a bastard. I followed house Stark when Robb Stark called the banners. I lost three brothers. one of them was just a boy. who’s to say whatever war the bastard fights won’t claim what’s left of my family ?? ’
“So you DID. An’ I lost my family, too, M’lord. Leavin’
ME to be LADY of this house.”
Her voice was firm, and her fists CLENCHED. No one could claim to HER that they had lost more.
“D’you think I LIKE bein’ the last of my house? But
the blood of NED STARK flows through that BASTARD’S
veins. I didn’t want to follow ‘im at first either. But he’s a
GOOD man. And his cause is TRUE.”
‘ && I’ve no doubt you’ll be a fine ruler, m’lady. I hear good things ‘bout you. as good as your judgment on Jon Snow might be, he’s still a bastard by name. blood of Ned Stark or not. nothin’ will his status. ’ tone remained casual as he leans back in the seat. ‘ what’s this ‘bout then ?? doubt you’ve come all this way to sing praise of Jon Snow. ’
