Ned loved him for that, for remembering her still after all these years. He called for a lantern. No other words were needed. The queen had begun to protest. They had been riding since dawn, everyone was tired and cold, surely they should refresh themselves first. The dead would wait. She had said no more than that; Robert had looked at her, and her twin brother Jaime had taken her quietly by the arm, and she had said no more.
奈德就愛他這一點，都過了這麼多年，他依舊對她念念不忘。他叫人送來提燈，其他一切都盡在不言中。皇后開始反對，她說大家打清早起就在趕路，這時人人又冷又倦，應該先稍事休息才對，要看死人也用不著這麼急。她說到這里，只見勞勃冷冷地看著她，她的孿生弟弟詹姆靜靜地握住她的手，她就沒再說下去了。
They went down to the crypt together, Ned and this king he scarcely recognized. The winding stone steps were narrow. Ned went first with the lantern. “I was starting to think we would never reach Winterfell,” Robert complained as they descended. “In the south, the way they talk about my Seven Kingdoms, a man forgets that your part is as big as the other six combined.”
於是奈德和他幾乎快不認得的國王一同往地下墓窖走去。通往墓窖的螺旋樓梯非常狹窄，所以奈德打著燈走在前頭。「我本來都快以為我們永遠也到不了臨各城了，」勞勃邊下樓邊抱怨：「在南方住久了，成天聽人說起我的七大王國如何如何，很容易就忘記你的領土和其他六個王國加起來一樣大。」
“I trust you enjoyed the journey, Your Grace?”
「陛下，相信您這趟旅途一定很愉快吧？」
Robert snorted. “Bogs and forests and fields, and scarcely a decent inn north of the Neck. I’ve never seen such a vast emptiness. Where are all your people?”
勞勃哼了一聲：「一路上到處都是沼澤、樹林和田野，過了頸澤後連間像樣的旅店都找不著。我這輩子還沒見過這麼廣萎無邊的冷野荒蕪，你的子民都躲哪去了？」
“Likely they were too shy to come out,” Ned jested. He could feel the chill coming up the stairs, a cold breath from deep within the earth. “Kings are a rare sight in the north.”
「多半是害羞不敢出來吧，」奈德打趣道，他感覺得到一股寒意自地窖卷襲而上，有如幽深地底的一口冰冷氣息。「在北方，國王可不是天天都見得到的。」
Robert snorted. “More likely they were hiding under the snow. Snow, Ned!” The king put one hand on the wall to steady himself as they descended.
勞勃又哼了一聲：「我看是躲在厚厚的積雪地底下吧。奈德，都幾月了你們這兒還冰天雪地！」國王邊下樓邊伸手扶著墻壁，穩住身子。
“Late summer snows are common enough,” Ned said. “I hope they did not trouble you. They are usually mild.”
「晚夏降雪在北方是稀松乎常的事情，」奈德說：「希望不會給您帶來什么困擾，夏末的雪通常都不大。」
“The Others take your mild snows,” Robert swore. “What will this place be like in winter? I shudder to think.”
"這叫做不大？異鬼才相信！"勞勃咒罵道：「那等到冬天你們這兒會冷成什麼樣子？我光是想到就冷得發抖。」
