Eddard X

Ned is in bed and dreams of a fight, 7 on 3. These three men were kingsguard that Ned had been looking for from previous battles, but found them guarding a tower. long story short everyone dies besides Ned and Reed, shortly after the fight he is woken up. Only with news that Catelyn and King Robert are on their way because Ned was too weak to go anywhere. Catelyn took over the role of 'Hand of the king' for Ned being stuck in bed so long. The king slaps Cersei in the argument and she says that she will proudly wear the bruise as a badge of honor. Robert tells Ned if he resigns that he would give Jamie the position as a joke.
I chose to write about this chapter because it shows power roles from the kings side, and how he needs Ned and his closes/most trusted comrades to be by his side. It also shows a soft side from Robert that we don't get to see a lot of yet in this book.
