Summary
Eddard lifts the blade, and the baby wails, high, screaming cries. Rhaegar doesn’t flinch for the kiss of solid steel, valerian steel to spill valerian blood, against his bared neck.Eddard lifts the blade. The baby screams and screams, and Eddard knows that he will hear those cries for the rest of his life, that they will haunt him every night as he closes his eyes.“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword.” He murmurs to himself. “If you would take a mans life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hears his final words. And if you can not do that…”Eddard drops the blade, and flinches as it clatters against the stone floor. “Then perhaps that man does not deserve to die.”
