\u201cBefore Robert was king. She met your father and his brothers at Harrenhal, during the year of the false spring.\u201d \u201cOh.\u201d Arya did not know what else to say. \u201cWhy did she jump in the sea, though?\u201d \u201cHer heart was broken.\u201d Sansa would have sighed and shed a tear for true love, but Arya just thought it was stupid. She couldn\u2019t say that to Ned, though, not about his own aunt. \u201cDid someone break it?\u201d He hesitated. \u201cPerhaps it\u2019s not my place...\u201d \u201cTell me.\u201d He looked at her uncomfortably water sports<\/a>. \u201cMy aunt Allyria says Lady Ashara and your father fell in love at Harrenhal -\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s not so. He loved my lady mother.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m sure he did, my lady, but -\u201d \u201cShe was the only one he loved.\u201d \u201cHe must have found that bastard under a cabbage leaf, then,\u201d Gendry said behind them. Arya wished she had another crabapple to bounce off his face. \u201cMy father had honor,\u201d she said angrily. \u201cAnd we weren\u2019t talking to you anyway. Why don\u2019t you go back to Stoney Sept and ring that girl\u2019s stupid bells?\u201d Gendry ignored that. \u201cAt least your father raised his bastard, not like mine. I don\u2019t even know my father\u2019s name. Some smelly drunk, I\u2019d wager, like the others my mother dragged home from the alehouse. Whenever she got mad at me, she\u2019d say, \u2018If your father was here, he\u2019d beat you bloody\u2019 That\u2019s all I know of him.\u201d He spat. \u201cWell, if he was here now, might be I\u2019d beat him bloody. But he\u2019s dead, I figure, and your father\u2019s dead too, so what does it matter who he lay with?\u201d It mattered to Arya, though she could not have said why. Ned was trying to apologize for upsetting her, but she did not want to hear it. She pressed her heels into her horse and left them both. Anguy the Archer was riding a few yards ahead. When she caught up with him, she said, \u201cDornishmen lie, don\u2019t they?\u201d \u201cThey\u2019re famous for it.\u201d The bowman grinned. \u201cOf course, they say the same of us marchers, so there you are. What\u2019s the trouble now? Ned\u2019s a good lad...\u201d \u201cHe\u2019s just a stupid liar.\u201d Arya left the trail, leapt a rotten log and , ignoring the shouts of the outlaws behind her. They just want to tell me more lies. She thought about trying to get away from them, but there were too many and they knew these lands too well. What was the use of running if they caught you? It was Harwin who rode up beside her, in the end. \u201cWhere do you think you\u2019re going, milady? You shouldn\u2019t run off. There are wolves in these woods, and worse things.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m not afraid,\u201d she said reenex facial<\/a>.. \u201c<\/p>","type":"rich"}
