Could Betha and Egg meet in a Dunk & Egg tale?

[KarlaOlivia_of_Winterfell]

I have a theory of how this could happen. We know that Dunk and Egg plan to head to the North to serve Lord Beron Stark. And for some reason Martin seems to want a story before The She-Wolves of Winterfell in the Riverlands. Well we know that Dagon Greyjoy is looting the North and the Westerlands, but what about the Riverlands? What if our heroes decide to stop to help against a raid by the Ironborn? What houses are near the coast in the Riverlands? Well, Mallister and Blackwood. So what would happen if after Duncan proved his courage, Lord Blackwood entrusted him with the mission of protecting his relative Melantha Blackwood who is heading to the North to marry and secure an alliance against the Greyjoys. Well, this could be an interesting trip since it is assumed that Old Nan arrived in Winterfell at the time that William Stark lost his first wife Perhaps Lady Blackwood in commitment to her husband and stepson gave the services of young Old Nan to take care of to the kid. So, the whole journey from Raventree Hall to Winterfell, Duncan and young Old Nan will be together. But what if before leaving Blackwood’s domains Lord Blackwood goes with them? And what if a girl called Betha Blackwood, perhaps a daughter or niece, also goes. I think that if Egg always makes fun of Duncan's situations with women and since he does not want to know anything about girls, it would be funny that now he has to face a some kind so friendship-love with Betha.

Chances are not that bad that Dunk & Egg might first meet Betha in the story 'The Village Hero' if said story takes place in Pennytree which lies in the border region between the lands of the Brackens and the Blackwoods. Said story could be connected to the new war that might threaten the houses in the wake of the fact that the Brute of Bracken seems to be the new heir.

Please don't give GRRM any more ideas , or he will never finish Songs .

I love new ideas, but I gotta agree with Brandon.

It could happen but what I think is that this would take place when Dunk and Egg come back south from the North . So that Egg’s a little older .
