The lords of the Trident keep the king's peace, Sir Raymun Darry said. "The Lannisters have broken it. We ask leave to answer them, steel for steel. We ask justice for the smallfolk of Sherrer and Wendish Town and the Mummer's Ford."
“三河流域的領主以國王之名維持境內和平，”雷蒙·戴瑞說，“蘭尼斯特的人破壞了和平。我們要求血債血償，我們要為榭爾村、溫德鎮和戲子灘的百姓討個公道。”
Edmure agrees, we must pay Gregor Clegane back his bloody coin, Sir Marq declared, "but old Lord Hoster commanded us to come here and beg the king's leave before we strike."
“艾德慕同意我們以牙還牙，用相同的手段對付格雷果·克里岡，”馬柯爵士宣布，“但霍斯特老爵爺命令我們首先得到國王的允許再出擊。”
Thank the gods for old Lord Hoster, then. Tywin Lannister was as much fox as lion. If indeed he'd sent Sir Gregor to burn and pillage, and Ned did not doubt that he had, he'd taken care to see that he rode under cover ofnight, without banners, in the guise of a common brigand. Should Riverrun strike back, Cersei and her father would insist that it had been the Tullys who broke the king's peace, not the Lannisters. The gods only knew what Robert would believe.
感謝天上諸神，還好有霍斯特大人在。與其說泰溫·蘭尼斯特是頭獅子，不如說他是只狐貍。假如當真是他派格雷果爵士去殺人放火——奈德對此毫無疑問——他一定會特意囑咐格雷果小心翼翼，夜晚行動，不張旗幟，扮成普通強盜。倘若奔流城反擊，瑟曦和她父親便能堅稱破壞和平的是徒利家族，而非蘭尼斯特。到時候勞勃會相信哪一邊，只有諸神才知道。
Grand Maester Pycelle was on his feet again. "My lord Hand, if these good folk believe that Sir Gregor has forsaken his holy vows for plunder and rape, let them go to his liege lord and make their complaint. These crimesare no concern of the throne. Let them seek Lord Tywin's justice."
派席爾大學士又站起來。“首相大人。如果這幾位好村民堅信格雷果爵士背棄了他神圣的誓言，轉而奸淫擄掠，請讓他們去見他的封君大人，向他去抱怨。這些罪行與王室無關，他們應當請求泰溫大人主持正義。”
