Synopsis

Ned and the Small Council hear Commander Slynt’s report about the city filling with people from all over the realm for the upcoming tourney and plea for more men to deal with ruse in crime and unrest. Ned agrees to hire fifty new watchmen for the City Watch, and loans the watch twenty of his own household guard. Lord Renly shows Ned a locket with a picture of Margaery Tyrell, and asks him if she resembles Lyanna. To Renly's disappointment Ned tells him she doesn't.

After the meeting, Eddard Summon Jory and returns to his chambers. As he waits, he peruses the book Jon Arryn had been reading prior to his death, Lineages of the Great Houses by Grand Maester Malleon’s. When Jory arrives, Eddard tells him he relies on him to choose the men he promised for the city watch and continue with Jory questioning of Jon Arryn's servants which wasnt panning out as most knew little although the potboy mentioned that Jon Arryn had gone to see an armorer with Stannis, and the stableboy talked of Jon and Stannis visiting a brothel together, and now Jon Arryn was sending his son to foster with Lord Stannis on Dragonstone). Eddard is curious since Jon and Stannis were never friendly and here they spent so much time together and at placed like that.

Since Lord Stannis had taken himself to Dragonstone, and could not be reached, and the location of the brothel was unkown, Eddard decides to visit the armorer that Jon and Stannis visited, wgere he question Tobho Mott the master armorer, about the visit. who tells Ned that they wanted to see the boy, Gendry. Ned immediately sees Gendry’s resemblance to the King when he was younger. Ned confronts Mott, and learns that an unknown lord had visited and paid twice the normal apprentice fee for Gendry, and told Mott to remain silent. Ned still doesn’t understand what jon wanted with a king’s bastard and why it led to his death.
