Theon had not considered that. In truth, he had scarcely considered the mudmen at all, beyond eyeing Meera once or twice and wondering if she was still a maiden1. “You may be right. We will spare them if we can.” “And Hodor too, I hope. The boy is simple, you know that. He does as he is told. How many times has he groomed2 your horse, soaped your saddle, scoured3 your mail?” Hodor was nothing to him. “if he does not fight us, we will let him live.” Theon pointed4 a finger. “But say one word about sparing the wildling, and you can die with her.

I thank you for your mercy.” Mercy, thought Theon as Luwin dropped back. There’s a bloody5 trap. Too much and they call you weak, too little and you’re monstrous6. Yet the maester had given him good counsel, he knew. His father thought only in terms of conquest, but what good was it to take a kingdom if you could not hold it? Force and fear could carry you only so far. A pity Ned Stark7 had taken his daughters south; elsewise Theon could have tightened8 his grip on Winterfell by marrying one of them.
