We shared a womb together. He came into this world holding my foot, our old maester said. When he is in me, I feel...whole." The ghost of a smile flitted over her lips.
我們共享同一子宮。據我們家老師傅說,他托著我的腳方才來到人世。當我倆結合的時候,我才……覺得自己完整。”她的唇上隱約掠過一抹微笑。
My son Bran...
“我兒子布蘭他……?”
To her credit, Cersei did not look away. "He saw us. You love your children, do you not?"
瑟曦坦然面對,沒有回避。“他看見我們在一起。你很愛你的孩子,對不對?”
Robert had asked him the very same question, the morning of the melee. He gave her the same answer. "With all my heart."
團體比武當天早上,勞勃問過他一模一樣的問題。他給了她相同的答案。“我全心全意地愛他們。”
No less do I love mine.
“我也是這么愛著自己的孩子。”
Ned thought, If it came to that, the life of some child I did not know, against Robb and Sansa and Arya and Bran and Rickon, what would I do? Even more so, what would Catelyn do, if it were Jon's life, against the children of her body? He did not know. He prayed he never would.
奈德心想:倘若換成別的小孩威脅到羅柏、珊莎、艾莉亞、布蘭或瑞肯的生命,他會怎么做?甚或,倘若瓊恩威脅到她親生孩子的性命,凱特琳又會怎么辦?他不知道,他祈禱自己永遠不要知道。
All three are Jaime's, he said. It was not a question.
“他們三個都是詹姆的孩子。”他說,這并非提問。
Thank the gods.
“感謝天上諸神。”
The seed is strong, Jon Arryn had cried on his deathbed, and so it was. All those bastards, all with hair asblack as night. Grand Maester Malleon recorded the last mating between stag and lion, some ninety years ago,when Tya Lannister wed Gowen Baratheon, third son of the reigning lord. Their only issue, an unnamed boy described in Malleon's tome as a large and lusty lad born with a full head of black hair, died in infancy.
種性強韌,瓊恩·艾林臨死前如此大喊,事實的確如此。每一個私生子的頭發都漆黑如夜。梅利恩記錄了九十多年前雄鹿和獅子間最后一次結合,蒂亞·蘭尼斯特嫁給葛文·拜拉席恩——他在本家排行老三。他們惟一的孩子是個無有名字的早夭男嬰,梅利恩的書中如此描述:“個頭大,食量佳,滿頭黑發。”
