You don't always sacrifice your interests to be nice, you're not an asshole either. You're fighting for your family first of all. You want the lord of House Forrester to crush his enemies by any means necessary and at any price necessary. Unwavering conviction: you're fighting for power and domination.Fierce passion: you're fighting for justice.I'd rather lose Ironrath than Talia or Ryon, and I'd rather be a brother than a lord. For example interfering in other people's business in a rather illegitimate way like stopping beskha or not saving Ryon as Rodrik knowing he will die (thiking he will) are asshole things to do (no offense). Your house will probably survive but at what cost? You put the House and power first, family second. Too much blue and you're no better than a Whitehill. Too much red? You're a noble martyr and House Forrester is in danger Red choice usually means doing the right thing.īlue choice usually means doing the smart thing. They'll strike and easily overwhelm 50 men. And no 500 men won't run away like chickens with their heads cut off. Killing Ludd could only give Gryff, Gwyn and Harys the reasons to rightfully slaughter everyone for the backstab. And 1 vs 10 is not ok for Napoleon, let alone for me. The red wedding only works if you got the men to make it work.
Plus the murder thing was clearly suicide. With the influence she got on her father, the Forresters would not be slaves for long. I forgot to mention the most important: he threatens to kill Talia otherwise. Why anger an agressive, easily manipulated fool? I let him think he won and use that guard down to my advantage. It's the right thing plus Margaery dies anyway so she's pretty much useless in S1 and into S2 until her death. You know it CAN'T fall (trust Gregor to know what he's talkin about, it's his last words in pain so it's gotta be decisive). Duncan to avoid a suicidal open conflict.
