Eddard;
So one of the biggest things happening in the book at this point to me is King Robert is send men to kill Daenerys because of the baby, and Eddard is very upset with that decision. I could totally see something (war) or a small scale battle come about all of this. The king already killed their mother and father so theres already bad vibes between them.
This chapter allowed us to see a little into the future but didnt give anything away. I cant want to see how this plays out and how the situation is handled as a king's point of view or a murders!

Eddard (351)
In this chapter we find out that King Robert is not the friend that Ed grew to love, and that power is more important than honor. The king makes the decision to send people to kill Daenerys since she is now pregnant. Ned is completely against that decision and it results in himosing his position as Hand. Ned is also threatened by the King and so him and his family must leave immediately. With the new revelation that Catelyn has taken Lord Tyroan as her prisoner,we see a rise of anticipation and the thought of war is crossing everyone's mind.
This chapter is very important as we see close ties break between Ned and the Ming, and we also see a lot of Stark vs. Lanister conflict. Add the fact that Daenerys is preto into the mix, it is not looking like the 7 kingdoms will stand much longer.

Catelyn
Catelyn and Rodrik are walking amongst the rain. Rodrik suggests that they stop and take shelter, Catelyn replies that she likes the feeling of the rain on her face and that it reminds her of her childhood. Rodrik suggest again they should stop because he could use a warm meal an fire. Catelyn then tells Rodrik of the inn at the crossroads. Rodrik reminds Catelyn of how public the inn at the crossroads are and that they are trying to remain discreet. Catelyn an Rodrik then pass a group of soldiers that doesn't recognize them and they decide that they will be safe in the inn. While Catelyn and Rodrik are eating dinner Tyrion shows up and tells them he needs a room. They continue to explain over and over how they don't have any rooms available and then begins to flip a gold coin until someone comes forward and agrees to give him their room. It is right after this moment that Tyrion then recognizes Catelyn! Tyrion begins to speak and apologize to Catelyn for missing her at Winterfell, everyone turns and stares at Cateltyn. Catelyn then turns to some of her men and asks them if Tyrion's men are as true as her father. Her men look at her and agree and say yes they are. Tyrion is confused on why Catelyn would even ask that. Catelyn then tells her man to take Tyrion captive because while Tyrion was a guest in her home that he tried to kill her son Bran. So Catelyns men take Tyrion captive and return to Winterfell to await justice from the King.
Eddard (V)
When I reading this chapter key theme popped into mind that really links the whole book together, in my opinion. Trust was the theme that came to mind when reading this chapter. Eddard is on the hunt for who killed Jon Arryn, and the first person he questions is Pycelle because Pcyelle's story has had its suspicions like when Pycelle ordered Master Coleman away when he was treating Jon. His trust with Pycelle is slowly deteriorating and he questions himself with who can truly trust and who truly is trustworthy with who they are serving. Littlefinger also tells Eddard that he has 4 more people that he needs to check out for Jon Arrys death, and Eddard seems puzzeld with this because he used to think Littlefinger was distrust-worthy until now. Littlefinger tells Eddard that distrusting him was the smartest thing that he done ever since he got to the kings landing. I think trust is huge thing throughout the book, because it is very hard to trust people who are of different roles/status of you, and so I think what Littlefinger said by that its the smartest thing he couldve done, is wise because that tells Ned that people in the kings landing are sneaky and he needs to be careful with who he trusts.
Ned's Chapter 351
In this chapter, Ned is trying to persuade the King not to kill Danerys because he feels like it's murder of an innocent. Robert insists on the killing of Danerys which then causes Ned to give up his position as the Hand. He then leaves and prepares to leave Kings Landing. Littlefinger comes to him and offers him information that hes been looking for so he has to go to a brothel. Robert wants Danerys dead because he hates the Targaryens and he hears about Danerys being pregnant which he feels like would be a threat to him being king. This is an important part of the book because it shows how much Robert hates the Targaryens and what he would do. It also helps Ned realize that Robert may not be the same man and the part where he gives up being a hand helps signify them moving apart. I liked this chapter because it helps show what Robert believes in doing as person and it helps Ned seem more of a great person which is good because I think Ned is a fair person and he has a good sense in right or wrong. This chapter also correlates with instances in real life where leaders send people to kill other people who threaten them personally. Even if the other person just wants different things. So it addresses the issue of whether or not its okay to send an mercenary after people.
Eddard 2
In this chapter Eddard finds out Daenersy is pregnant. So He tryes to convence the King not to kill her. King Robert wants to kill Daenersy for of fear of one day getting over thrown after hearing of her marriage plans and for the crimes there parents did which ended up getting them killed as well and landing Robert in the thrown. But Ned keeps telling him he shouldnt and its a bad idea, no matter what happend in the past that makes Robert want to kill these two.
I like how Ned sticks to his guns and doesnt let the King change his mind even tho he is the "king". And knows that in his heart that it is not right to kill them, even tho not knowing the repercussions that might follow after dis-obeying the King
