Alebelly found him in the forge, working the bellows for Mikken.
酒肚子在鍛爐邊找到他時，他正幫密肯拉風箱。
"Maester wants you in the turret, m'lord prince.
“學士在塔樓等您，王子殿下。
There's been a bird from the king."
有只鳥剛從國王那邊過來。”
"From Robb?" Excited, Bran did not wait for Hodor, but let Alebelly carry him up the steps.
“從羅柏？”布蘭興奮起來，他等不及阿多，便讓酒肚子背他上樓。
He was a big man, though not so big as Hodor and nowhere near as strong.

Rickon tugged at the maester's robe. "Is Robb coming home?"
瑞肯拉拉老師傅的袍子，“羅柏可以回家了？”
"Not just yet, I fear. There are battles yet to fight."
“恐怕暫時還不行。還有仗等著他去打呢。”
"Was it Lord Tywin he defeated?" asked Bran.
“不是說他打敗泰溫公爵了嗎？”布蘭問。
"No," said the maester.
“并非如此，”學士道，
"Ser Stafford Lannister commanded the enemy host.
“此次敵軍由史戴佛·蘭尼斯特爵士率領，
He was slain in the battle."

"He can bring his wolf home too, and Mother and Father."
“要他把小狼帶回來哦，還有爸爸媽媽。”

他還記得哥哥率軍離開臨冬城那天，歐莎告訴他的話。
He's marching the wrong way, the wildling woman had insisted.
他走錯方向了，女野人如此堅持。
"Sadly, no victory is without cost." Maester Luwin turned to the Walders.
“遺憾的是，勝利總是伴隨著犧牲。”魯溫師傅轉向瓦德們。
"My lords, your uncle Ser Stevron Frey was among those who lost their lives at Oxcross.
