House Baratheon owed its very existence to the Targaryen. Was it not Aegon the Dragon himself who elevated the bastard Oris Baratheon in the war of conquest?

But when he came home to me, He could not meet my eyes. I saw the reason by his side. Many men have basterd, I know, and under the strain of war any man no matter how honourble may forsake his vows for a night of warmth that he may never know again.

But their lands were far from ours and separated by the combined strength of the West, the Reach and King’s Landing itself. even Robert’s own Lords were against him. It was the hardest choice I’ve ever made my brother of my king. Blood or honor. Heir is ruled by right of all the raws in Westeros. Everyone knew the price of defiance, but there are deeper older laws “The younger brother dowels before the elder”. I followed Robert.

Early in the war, Mace Tyrell is in decisive victory at Ashford cut Robert off from Storm’s End.

If a wagon tried to reach us, it was burnt, if a ship tried to land, it was sunk. We were locked in Storm’s End to starve but Robert commanded me to hold the castle no matter the cost. He could not afford to lose his ancient seat which had never fallen.

While Robert smashed Rhaegar on the Trident, my men ate the dogs, becouse they’re horses had already been devoured. While the Lannisters sacked King’s Landing, we ate the rats. If the smuggler Davos had not slipped through the Tyrell blockade with his onions, We’d have eaten our own dead.

In king’s Landing, if you leave the Red Keep and aren’t careful, you may find yourself in flea bottom. In such a cesspool that house Seaworth of its glorious start.

I didn’t pay a percentage to the right people or pick the right tides.

You know how to tell a good smuggler? When you talk to one, there’s a head that talks back. I was very good ,Davos, a flea bottom had won were the orphans and beggars but Davos, the smuggler was received by merchants and Lords when nobody would catch them. Oddly, the only honest work came from pirates like the notorious bloodthirsty Salladhor Saan, an old friend. All he ever wanted was someone to buy his cargo quickly before the tide, left and sell it without telling where I got it.

In time and saved enough to buy a small plot of land and found a woman who was kind enough to overlook my trade. She gave me a son, Matthos. And we dreamt of the trade a circle around the Jade Sea. Just one trip, and I could settle us and our family for life. Then some Storm Lord revolted against the iron throne. Wars are not as good for smugglers as you’d think, every harbor fills with guards and inspectors and the seas filled with blockades and pirates paid by each side to prey on the other. Though I had no love the Mad King, I’ve grown up around the power of King’s Landing. I figure this Robert Baratheon would end the same as the other rebel Lords, burnt to ash, but he didn’t. The North, the Riverlands and the Vale joined him. And then the taverns people drank of Robert’s health urbanely, brave fools our thought. But I had a family. Who’d be left in the call of I lost my head?

When Mace Tyrell marched on Robert’s home, Storm’s End, I spy at the end of the rebellion, the castle was garrisoned by Robert’s younger brother, Stannis and a small guard and would not hold out for long. When it fell Robert would be homeless and his support had bleed away, this, I knew from experience. Months later, Stannis was still holded in the castle, nobody cared, but on voyages. I had seen what famine does and a thought of all those men and Storm’s End who would die unwarned and forgotten. No better than flea bottom orphans. And told my wife and myself. But I’d get a high price for the onions and salt beef and truth. And it would be captured by the Tyrell, galleys are drowned. But I was too stubborn.

Later that night, in the dark in a tiny boat with a black sail, I cursed myself, and the moonlight as I waited for the tide to turn. When it did the wind beat the sails so hard, I ripped it down fearing the Tyrell ships would hear, locally that grown lacks with muffled oars alone. I steered my cargo through the treacherous currents and snares of rock that give shipbreaker bay its name. The waves finally cariied me, soarked and near blind from seawater through the mouth of the cavern beneath a castle.

引用：HBO『Game of Thrones』Blue-Ray映像特典　Youtubeによる自動字幕

Then Stannis Baratheon arrived. The siege had left him gaont but not weak, never weak. He greeted me and accepted my onions with cool courtesy, betrayed, no emotion even as all wept. He told of the food to his wife and each of his men before he ate himself a portion no larger than any other. When he finally thanked me, I could see his mind. And already returned to the castles defense, his duty.

After Aerys fell and Lord Stark lifted the siege. Stannis only, for my salvation a Storm’s End I was to be granted a knighthood a keep a my own and my son taken in the Stannis’s of personal service.

引用：HBO『Game of Thrones』Blue-Ray映像特典　Youtubeによる自動字幕

But for my previous crimes as a smugger, I was to have the fingertips of one hand taken off above the highest joint. Stannis held that I had floated the laws of the land for years and a good act does not wash out the bad, in one fell swoop on five. Stannis gave my son a future, my family a name that I could never have imagined nor earned on my own. I still keep the finger bones in a bag around my neck to remind me what I was and what I order Stannis. For do remind, many years as a smuggler, have visted many ports taverns and back alleys and so many things in this world, but never justice, until Stannis.

Barristan, the Bold. they call me to my face. I know what they say behind my back, Barristan, the Old. That is true. I am old, with hair as white as all the winters I have seen. The older a man grows, the less sleep he needs. These days I barely sleep at all. When darkness falls over this strange city, I find myself visited by the faces of the kings I have served. The faces of those I swore to protect. The faces of those I failed. All I ever wanted was to live a life of honor, defending a king worthy of service. During the War of the Ninepenny Kings, I sought out Maelys, the Monstrous, last of the Blackfyre Pretenders, who had started this whole war. Maelys believed that his Targaryen blood gave him a claim to the Iron Throne. I made sure that his blood claimed nothing more than the dirt around his corpse. To show his gratitude, the King elevated me to his Kingsguard. It was the proudest moment of my life. But that king died, and I wasn’t with him. Not that I could have saved him if I had been. But still, I vowed to do better with his son, young Prince Aerys.

引用：HBO『Game of Thrones』Blue-Ray映像特典　Youtubeによる自動字幕

For twenty years, his reign was peaceful and prosperous. Aerys was well-loved by his people and respected by his lords. But as years went on, Aerys’ temper soured. He became obsessed with dragons and fire, and the swords of the Kingsguard couldn’t defend him from the enemies he saw lurking in every shadow. My king went mad. But there was hope; his son and heir. Prince Rhaegar was everything a kingdom could hope for in a ruler; he was strong but gentle, wise and cautious, and a good friend. No matter the wounds Aerys dug into the realm, we had faith that his son would sew it back together again when he ascended the throne.

引用：HBO『Game of Thrones』Blue-Ray映像特典　Youtubeによる自動字幕

Then came Lord Whent’s tourney at Harrenhal, the largest ever in Westeros. I unhorsed every man against me until only Prince Rhaegar remained. We each set our feet in our saddles and lowered our lances and charged, and I fell. Muddy and bruised, I then watched Rhaegar present Lyanna Stark with the victor’s crown of roses, though she was betrothed to Robert Baratheon and Rhaegar himself was married to Elia Martell. We all know what happened after. If I had I been a bit quicker with my lance, had I chosen a faster horse, perhaps I could have spared the kingdom from the destruction that came after. Or if I had thought to warn Brandon Stark against his rashness. He came to King’s Landing himself demanding Rhaegar return his sister. Poor fool. If he had only known the depth of Aerys’ madness, he wouldn’t have dared provoke him.

引用：HBO『Game of Thrones』Blue-Ray映像特典　Youtubeによる自動字幕

Aerys ordered Brandon imprisoned, while I could do nothing but obey. When Brandon’s father, Lord Rickard Stark, came to King’s Landing to beg for his son, Aerys burned him alive, while I could do nothing but watch. I had sworn a vow to a mad king and was honor-bound to obey him, even at the cost of my soul. Ravens soon arrived with dark news for the king. the Vale was in open revolt. Demanding Lyanna Stark’s return, Robert Baratheon was smashing any army that dared face him. Eddard Stark, Brandon’s younger brother, was marching the whole of the North down the Neck and had taken Catelyn Tully, Brandon’s betrothed, for his own, thus winning the support of the Riverlands. The king sent ravens to Casterly Rock to beg his former Hand, Tywin Lannister, for help, and no ravens returned.

引用：HBO『Game of Thrones』Blue-Ray映像特典　Youtubeによる自動字幕

A plan was devised. Prince Rhaegar would personally lead the royal forces, now reinforced with ten thousand Dornishmen, north to face Robert, while the Kingsguard, Lewyn Martell and I, would ride with the prince. Before we left, the prince confided in me that when he returned from this battle, there would be a great many changes in court. Despite my vows to the king, I confess I was excited. On the march to face Robert’s army, we were sure we would win. We had superior numbers and we had Prince Rhaegar. His presence lifted the spirits of our men and he looked every inch the king he was destined to become. But at the Trident the gods played a cruel joke. Robert proved the Baratheon words as his army smashed through our lines. Lewyn Martell was killed, I fell in combat badly wounded and could do nothing but watch as Robert’s war hammer ended Rhaegar’s glorious reign before it began, and the kingdom that would never be washed away down the Trident with his life’s blood.

引用：HBO『Game of Thrones』Blue-Ray映像特典　Youtubeによる自動字幕

Yet Robert spared me, insisting his personal maester tend to my wounds out of respect. But respect for what? A Kingsguard shouldn’t survive one king, let alone two, and one who should have been. I swore an oath to House Targaryen, and I failed them. All that is left of their fire is a single ember halfway across the world, surrounded by darkness. If the gods were good, I would still be young in the fullness of strength. But whatever the cost, I will not let this ember go out. This time I will not fail.
