[[Vayon Poole]] wakes him to inform him that the King wants to see him. Both [[Robert Baratheon|Robert]] and [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] enter, and the King lets him know he is displeased at Ned’s actions. Cersei accuses Ned and his men of returning drunk from a brothel and attacking her brother’s men. Ned informs Robert that he was at the brothel to visit the King's [[Barra|bastard daughter]]. Ned asks the King for his leave to bring back Ser [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] to face justice (the Kingslayer had fled the city). When Robert tells him enough men died, Ned asks him if that is his notion of justice. The Queen tells Robert, "If any man had dared speak to a [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] as he had spoken to you", but Robert slaps her in the face in anger. Cersei leaves, and Robert, in misery, tells Ned that Rhaegar won. Robert intends to hunt on the morrow, but Eddard tells him that he is departing for [[Winterfell]] since he resigned as Hand. Robert reassigns him as Hand, and tells Ned that if he deserts the post again, he will pin the medal on Jaime.

Synopsis

Ned, dreaming from the effects of the milk of the poppy, remembers the events at the Tower of Joy. The three Kingsguard missing at the Trident and the Red Keep were sent by Rhaegar to guard the Tower. These were no ordinary Kingsguard, but Ser Gerold Hightower the White Bull, Ser Arthur Dayne the Sword of Morning, and Ser Oswell Whent. There are sad moments here, as these men were legends, but they would not bend the knee and they were sworn to a vow. Ned loses five of his men in vanquishing the legendary Kingsguard. He is awoken while dreaming of making his promise to his dying sister Lyanna at the Tower of Joy.

Vayon Poole wakes him to inform him that the King wants to see him. Both Robert and Cersei enter, and the King lets him know he is displeased at Ned’s actions. Cersei accuses Ned and his men of returning drunk from a brothel and attacking her brother’s men. Ned informs Robert that he was at the brothel to visit the King's bastard daughter. Ned asks the King for his leave to bring back Ser Jaime to face justice (the Kingslayer had fled the city). When Robert tells him enough men died, Ned asks him if that is his notion of justice. The Queen tells Robert, "If any man had dared speak to a Targaryen as he had spoken to you", but Robert slaps her in the face in anger. Cersei leaves, and Robert, in misery, tells Ned that Rhaegar won. Robert intends to hunt on the morrow, but Eddard tells him that he is departing for Winterfell since he resigned as Hand. Robert reassigns him as Hand, and tells Ned that if he deserts the post again, he will pin the medal on Jaime.
