Summary: King Rhaegar invited Jon to the capital. Rhaegar is excited to see him, but his son does not share the same sentiment, but Sansa and Arya talked him out of it.
Jon
When the king’s invitation reached Winterfell, Jon declared that he doesn’t want to go. Aunt Catelyn agreed, but Uncle Eddard tells them otherwise.
“Is it really wise to send him there?”
“We have no choice but to obey, he is the king,” he told Jon, the day when they received the letter. “And King Rhaegar is your father.”
“He’s not my father!” Jon yelled, startling the two adults. When realized what he had done, he mutter a quick apology before fleeing to the armory.
He spent his whole afternoon beating a straw dummy with his blunted sword, venting his own anger upon it.
He hated that man.
That man is not his father.
From what history will ever know, that man... his sire, kidnapped and raped his mother. There’s no love between them, and he’s a child born from rape.
Sometimes, Jon hated himself, too.
Lord Eddard, or Uncle Eddard will always be his father, second is his Uncle Benjen, who returned to the Wall a few days ago.
He is already content with his life in Winterfell, yet that man is persistent to interfere in his life.
He vehemently refused the king’s invitation until Arya and Sansa talked him out of it.
Arya treats him as an older brother, like how she would treat Robb and Theon. But Sansa on the other hand, treated him differently. They were close, but there’s still some distance between them.
Jon finally agreed to go south, because how could he refuse?
They both wanted to know more about King’s Landing and Queen Elia and her children, Princess Rhaenys and Prince Aegon. When it come to those three, Jon couldn’t help but to feel pity... and anger, not for them, but for the humiliation they were put through.
I guess it’s not so bad. Jon thought. The people loved the queen, her children, and the king’s siblings, but not the king himself.
Jon also thought of not just regaling them with stories, he also thought of bringing them souvenirs, on the way back home. Perhaps a dagger or an expensive silk.
