Littlefinger shrugged. Rivulets of moisture twisted down the back of his cloak. Does it matter? If you bed enough women, some will give you presents, and His Grace has never been shy on that count. I know he's acknowledged that boy at Storm's End, the one he fathered the night Lord Stannis wed. He could hardly do otherwise. The mother was a Florent, niece to the Lady Selyse, one of her bedmaids. Renly says that Robert carried the girl upstairs during the feast, and broke in the wedding bed while Stannis and his bride were still dancing. Lord Stannis seemed to think that was a blot on the honor of his wife's House, so when the boy was born, he shipped him off to Renly. He gave Ned a sideways glance. I've also heard whispers that Robert got a pair of twins on a serving wench at Casterly Rock, three years ago when he went west for Lord Tywin's tourney. Cersei had the babes killed, and sold the mother to a passing slaver. Too much an affront to Lannister pride, that close to home.
小指头耸肩,雨珠立刻汇集成小溪从他斗篷背后流下。"有关系吗?反正只要睡过的女人够多,总有人会送你大礼,而国王陛下在这方面可从不吝啬。我知道他公开承认的那个风息堡男孩,那是在史坦尼斯大人结婚当晚搞上的。他没法不认,孩子的母亲是佛罗伦家的人,赛丽丝夫人的堂妹,她本人又是她的侍女之一。蓝礼说劳勃在当晚宴会进行途中把那女孩抱上楼,在史坦尼斯和新娘跳舞的时候就在他们婚床上开了她的苞。史坦尼斯大人似乎认为这是他太太娘家名誉的大污点,所以等男孩一出生,便把他装船送到蓝礼那边去了。"他斜眼看看奈德。"我还听说三年前劳勃去西境参加泰温大人的比武大会时,跟凯岩城一个女侍生了对双胞胎。瑟曦派人把孩子杀了,孩子的娘则卖给路过的奴隶贩子。自家后院出这种事,兰尼斯特家哪受得了。"
Ned Stark grimaced. Ugly tales like that were told of every great lord in the realm. He could believe it of Cersei Lannister readily enough...but would the king stand by and let it happen? The Robert he had known would not have, but the Robert he had known had never been so practiced at shutting his eyes to things he did not wish to see. Why would Jon Arryn take a sudden interest in the king's baseborn children?
奈德·史塔克听了不禁皱眉,王国各大家族都有类似的难听传闻。他相信瑟曦·兰尼斯特干得出这种事…但国王会袖手旁观,任她胡来吗?他过去所认识的那个劳勃不会,可话说回来,他过去所认识的那个劳勃,也不像如今这般善于对自己不想知道的事装聋作哑。"琼恩·艾林为什么突然对国王的庶出子女产生了兴趣?"

背景介绍:

《权力的游戏》是一部中世纪史诗奇幻题材的电视连续剧。该剧以美国作家乔治·R·R·马丁的奇幻巨作《冰与火之歌》七部曲为基础改编创作,由大卫·贝尼奥夫和丹尼尔·威斯编剧、HBO电视网推出。乔治·雷蒙德·理查德·马丁是欧美奇幻小说大师。马丁的作品主要以人物为关注点,描写细腻丰富,突破了幻想文学界固有的创作模式,多次引领阅读潮流。由于马丁的辉煌成就,他被誉为美国的托尔金和新世纪的海明威。从1989年开始,马丁淡出文学界,转而投身演艺界发展,1996年他才重返文坛而开始奇幻文学的创作,处女作便是《权力的游戏》,即为《冰与火之歌》的首部曲。《权力的游戏》甫出便拿下了British Fantasy Society、 世界奇幻奖和星云奖年度最佳幻想作品提名,在非官方的不记名奇幻作品投票中,《冰与火之歌》俨然已经可以和《魔戒》平起平坐,作者网站的访问量也是和斯蒂芬·金、J.K.罗琳等不相上下,其受欢迎的程度可见一斑。乔治马丁被时代杂志评选为2011年影响世界的一百人之一。
