|GoT MEME| Five Deaths [2/5] - Maester Cressen

“…Stannis, my lord, my sad sullen boy, son I never had, you must not do this, don’t you know how I have cared for you, lived for you, loved you despite it all? Yes, loved you, better than Robert even, or Renly, for you were the one unloved, the one who needed me most…”

               “…No, the old maester thought, this is not you, not your way, you were always just, always hard yet never cruel, never, you did not understand mockery, no more than you understood laughter…”

                               “…And I will serve you to the last,
                                            my sweet lord,
                                                   my poor lonely son,
                       Cressen thought, for suddenly he saw the way.”
