Chapter 5 (1/2)
Jon Snow's conversation with banyan stark soon ended. After all, banyan is the chief ranger of the night watchman. He is a pure man and doesn't know how to comfort Jon who is angry about his life experience.
The moonlight was dim in the night sky, and the people on the ground seemed lonely.
For uncle Banyang who turned and walked away, Jon was obviously very disappointed when he looked at his back.
Similarly, as an illegitimate child, he has no mother and his father doesn't care about himself. He belongs to a person who grandma doesn't love and grandpa doesn't love. Arthur can understand Jon's mood at this time. He doesn't have his place in Winterfell and is looked down upon by people every day. He is not even allowed to attend a banquet. He has no better choice but to leave.
When Arthur came out of the banquet hall, he thought he might meet Jon, so he took away the food and two glasses of wine.
”I'll go over,” he said to Annie nearby, and he took his glass and Annie's glass, which he usually doesn't drink much, and walked to Jon Snow.
”Is your uncle a night watchman?”
Tyrion, the little devil, had just enjoyed the gentle countryside and came back to drink with his brother James. When he saw Jon talking to Banyang, he asked.
Jon: what are you doing here
”To get ready to spend tonight with your family,” said Tyrion, who was carrying the wine bag, leaning against the stake and looking at Jon Snow. ”I always want to see the great wall of despair.”
Jon: you are the brother of Queen Tyrion Lannister
”Are you Jon Snow?” Arthur came with two glasses of wine and kindly handed one to him. ”Hello, I'm Arthur, Arthur black eye, the illegitimate son of the emperor.”
Tyrion nodded at Arthur and asked strangely, ”you're not reading?”
Arthur smiled helplessly. Because he often borrowed books from Tyrion, he had become a bookworm in the impression of the little devil: ”it's dinner time now.”
Hearing Arthur's self introduction that he was an illegitimate child, Jon looked at them with a friendly smile. Jon hesitated and took the glass: ”Hello, I'm Jon Snow, that's right.”
”Jon Snow, you're ned Stark's illegitimate son, aren't you?” Tyrion drank almost all the wine in his wine bag. His wine was good. He didn't want to finish it so quickly. After all, he was still a way from the banquet hall, so he took it away when he saw Arthur holding a glass in his hand.
Jon didn't like others to mention his illegitimate son. He nodded to Arthur to thank him for his wine, and turned away from Tyrion.
”Did I offend you? I'm sorry,” Tyrion shrugged. ”But you're still an illegitimate son.”
Jon: Lord ed Stark is my father
”But Mrs. Stark is not your mother.”
”So you're a bastard.” Tyrion pierced his heart again, as if to belittle Jon and trouble him, but his tone slowed down and looked at Jon with an unhappy face ”Let me give you some advice. Bastard, never forget who you are, because the world will never forget. If you arm yourself with it, no one can hurt you with it.”
After hearing Tyrion's words, Jon couldn't help asking, ”how do you know what it's like to be an illegitimate child?”
After drinking Arthur's wine, he threw the glass to him. Tyrion stopped when he heard the speech: ”the dwarfs all over the world are no different from illegitimate children in their father's eyes.”
Looking at Tyrion who was walking away, Jon was stunned. He drank all the wine in his glass and said to Arthur, ”thank you for your wine.”
”No.” Arthur took the empty glass and said, ”although Tyrion lives a natural and unrestrained life, his birth is noble and he seems to have endless money, everyone has his own difficulties. Overcoming difficulties will lead to a wonderful life, whether he is a noble or illegitimate son.”
Jon nodded and asked, ”I heard you would become a bachelor. Have you read a lot of books?”
”Becoming a bachelor does have a high status, but I don't really want to.” Arthur looked helpless. ”Because becoming a bachelor can't get a wife and have children. I don't want to be a place for life, so I admire you for your firm saying that you want to join the night watchman just now.”
”But... I also understand that you are like me. If I don't become a bachelor, I'm nothing, and if you don't become a night watchman, I won't be very happy here.”
Jon nodded silently again.
