He couldn't help but imagine it and snorted quietly. It would make a pitiful ending for House Stark. Rickard Stark was burned in a trial by combat, and Brandon Stark choked to death on a Tyroshi strangling device. Eddard Stark, executed for trying to do the honourable and right thing. Robb Stark, killed at his uncle's wedding under guest right. And now, Jon Stark would probably lose his life to another ruse. Tyrion wondered what the Northern king was thinking. He could have swept over and burned them all to death, with none to oppose him. By the time Daenerys returned, she would have found nought but ash and charred corpses. Did Jon Stark expect things to go his way after his four predecessors were killed without any regard for reason or honour?
