The woman called it faith, something that uplifted people, but the husband called it weight placed on the wrong beam, a false hope that might be crushed at any moment.
And just like that, the argument became worse, just like every other day.
But then yesterday…
The husband kissed her hair and went to the Wall before dawn. Today was an important day; today, the husband was supposed to go on a hunt beyond the Wall.
The woman hugged him and sent him away with a big smile. She wanted to tell him that everything would be fine because the Dragon God resided with them, but because she knew her husband didn't like her mentioning the Dragon God's name like a fanatic, she stopped herself.
But then—
In the evening, when her husband was supposed to return, the people who visited her were…
The Voice of the Commonfolk and the Commander of the Watch.
