Jace believed that since Lord Creegan had settled him in a Large castle – in the main tower of Winterfell, where Lord Stark's family lived, then the question of whether the North would fight for his Queen mother had already been resolved. But now, after two weeks of staying with the northern lord, he was transferred to a guest house located next to the Godswood, he was a little nervous. Did Jace say or do something wrong at dinner last night? Didn't he take into account some northern traditions and disgrace himself and his mother?

While hurrying servants in doublets lined with fur of some animals fussily carried his things through the cupboards, the Crown Prince stood at the window of his new chambers, rubbing his palms against each other, warming his frozen fingers. The rooms of the Guest House themselves were not cold due to the fact that pipes were laid between the walls, throughout the castle, through which water flowed from hot springs – so the servants explained to him why the fireplace was not lit in the rooms. But since in order to get from the Big Castle to the Guest House, it was necessary to pass through a Covered passage, which was clearly colder than the rest of the rooms, Jace managed to freeze a little. However, this did not surprise him, Lord Creagan had warned him that an unprepared body often freezes, even in spite of warm clothes and shoes.
