“... he will still be a boy,” said Ser Rodrik, “and hard-pressed to hold his lands against the likes of Mors Umber or this bastard1 of Roose Bolton’s. We must think on this carefully. Robb should have our best counsel before he makes his decision.” “It may come down to practicalities,” said Maester Luwin. “Which lord he most needs to court. The riverlands are part of his realm, he may wish to cement the alliance by wedding Lady Hornwood to one of the lords of the Trident. A Blackwood, perhaps, or a Frey-” “Lady Hornwood can have one of our Freys,” said Bran. “She can have both of them if she likes.” “You are not kind, my prince,” Ser Rodrik chided gently.

The bastard of the Dreadfort would not be joining them, the Mormonts and Karstarks had all gone south with Robb, Lord Locke was too old to dare the journey, Lady Flint was heavy with child, there was sickness at Widow’s Watch. Finally all of the principal vassals5 of House Stark4 had been heard from save for Howland Reed the crannogman, who had not set foot outside his swamps for many a year, and the Cerwyns whose castle lay a half day’s ride from Winterfell. Lord Cerwyn was a captive of the Lannisters, but his son, a lad of fourteen, arrived one bright, blustery morning at the head of two dozen lances. Bran was riding Dancer around the yard when they came through the gate. He trotted6 over to greet them. Cley Cerwyn had always been a friend to Bran and his brothers. “Good morrow, Bran,” Cley called out cheerfully. “Or must I call you Prince Bran now?” “Only if you want.” Cley laughed. “Why not? Everyone else is a king or prince these days. Did Stannis write Winterfell as well?” “Stannis? I don’t know.” “He’s a king now too,” Cley
