It did not make the pain any easier to bear. She would lose all four of them, then: Ned, and both girls, and her sweet, loving Bran. Only Robb and little Rickon would be left to her. She felt lonely already. Winterfell was such a vast place. “Keep him off the walls, then,” she said bravely. “You know how Bran loves to climb.”
但她的痛苦卻并未因此而稍減。眼看著她就要失去他們全部:奈德、兩個女兒,還有她最疼惜的心肝寶貝布蘭,只剩下羅柏和瑞肯。此刻的她已感寂寞,臨冬城畢竟是個很大的地方啊。"那就別讓他靠墻太近,"她勇敢地說,"你知道布蘭最愛爬上爬下。"
Ned kissed the tears from her eyes before they could fall. “Thank you, my lady,” he whispered. “This is hard, I know.”
奈德輕吻了她眼里還未掉下的淚滴。"謝謝你,我親愛的夫人,"他悄聲道,"我知道這很痛苦。"
“What of Jon Snow, my lord?” Maester Luwin asked.
"老爺,瓊恩·雪諾該怎么辦?"魯溫學士問。
Catelyn tensed at the mention of the name. Ned felt the anger in her, and pulled away.
一聽這名字,凱特琳立刻全身僵硬。奈德察覺到她的怒意,便抽身放開她。
Many men fathered bastards. Catelyn had grown up with that knowledge. It came as no surprise to her, in the first year of her marriage, to learn that Ned had fathered a child on some girl chance met on campaign. He had a man’s needs, after all, and they had spent that year apart, Ned off at war in the south while she remained safe in her father’s castle at Riverrun. Her thoughts were more of Robb, the infant at her breast, than of the husband she scarcely knew. He was welcome to whatever solace he might find between battles. And if his seed quickened, she expected he would see to the child’s needs.
凱特琳打小就知道,貴族男子在外偷生私生子是常有的事,因此她在新婚不久,得知奈德在作戰途中與農家少女生了個私生子時,絲毫不感意外。再怎么說,奈德有他男人的需求,而他征戰的那一年,只和她婚后團聚數日便匆匆南下,留她安然地待在后方父親的奔流城,兩人分隔兩地。那時她的心思都放在襁褓中的羅柏身上,甚少念及她幾乎不認識的丈夫。他在戎馬倥傯間,自然不免尋求慰藉。而一旦他留下了種,她也希望他至少能讓那孩子衣食無虞。
