The Most Ridiculous Thing Ned Could Have Promised Was....


King Pellinore

Recommended Posts

'Promise me; red.'

Premise: tired of ever present blue roses.

Request: burial decoration specifications.

Interpretation: Ned injected himself into a moment of emotional crisis as people are want to do.

Result: something greater than decoration, albeit with specific request ignored. Oh, Ned.

On a more serious note (not that I'm not loving these), the promise is often referred to a broken promise, so something along the lines of "Ned, promise me you'll...


...give him to his father to raise."


...not let Robert take revenge on Rhaegar for this."


...let him grow up with his brother and sister."



Not knowing that Rhaegar and his other two children are already dead.



ETA: Yeah, the OP asked for ridiculous, but I couldn't resist.

Promise me Ned, you'll name him after his true father.

Lyanna: Eddard, I'm dying.

Eddard:(sees that Lyanna is in a pool of blood) Nah, you'll be fine.

Lyanna: Promise me ... Promise me you'll kill Rhaegar. I he left the thermostat on the wrong temperature when he left and none of the three Kingsguard he left here would adjust it. I had to spend months in this boiling hellhole: why in the seven Hell's would he have the thermostat at ninety degrees?! Its hot enough in Dorne as it is!

Eddard: Ummmm ... He's already dead. Robert crushed his head with a hammer.

Lyanna: Oh good. What he did with the thermostat is unforgivable.

Eddard: Anything else you would like?

Lyanna: Yes, there is a bag of coins on that nightstand there. Brandon payed for lunch once and I never got to pay him back. Oh Gods, I even told Brandon 'I owe you one'!

Eddard: Yeah, about ... He's kind of dead.

Lyanna: Oh no! I bet Father must be devastated by this.

Eddard: That's one word to describe it. I myself would have described it as "burned to a crisp".

Lyanna: Well, I don't have anything else to ask of you. Not being able to repay Brandon will probably haunt me into the afterlife. If you have a daughter, would you mind naming her after me?

Eddard: No problem. Oh, and what should I do with that baby over there?

Lyanna: Oh that? That's Robert's son. Remember when you told me about the arrangement and had the two of us talk to get to know each other-

Eddard: I don't want to hear about it. I'll just figure that what to do with the baby when I get back to Winterfell.

Later on.

Robert: I miss Lyanna! Oh hi Eddard. Ned, who's baby is that you're holding?

Eddard: (tries to remember, but gives and shrugs) I dunno. I guess its my bastard. I don't remember who the mother is, but it looks like me so I must be the father.

Robert: How do you forget cheating on your wife?!

Later still.

Maester Ludwin: Congratulations Eddard, you have a new baby girl with black hair just like you. What should it's name be?

Eddard: (tries to remember his promise, but gives up and shrugs) I dunno, I guess Arya.
