"Did this 9-nameday boy really enter a wildling camp and fight them, saving his youngest daughter and resolving this wildling invasion before coming here?"
"Really, boy? Is everything in this letter true, and my men aren't lying?" He said in a tone of disbelief.
He would leave for home the next day, hoping it wouldn't be too late for his little Ester, but it seems the gods favored him this time, with Ned's boy solving the problem in his land.

"Yes, my lord. We followed the traces of the wild group, skipping sleep for a few nights to catch up with them. We found them on one of their night expeditions, finally, in a location quite close to the coast with their rafts for escape." Jon paused before continuing.

"Seeing that we couldn't wait for the rest of their guard, we decided to confront them ourselves, and with the help of Ducken, a powerful and experienced warrior with a brave blacksmith skilled in handling a bow, we stealthily entered the camp."

"As soon as we managed to capture and free the hostages, despite some unexpected things happening, we managed to get them out of the camp, initiating a total attack against the invading group. I can say it was more of a massacre with the group of those giants there." Jon said and earned some low laughs, as they could imagine a wildling cornered by those monsters showing no resistance.

But many lords were stunned by this. They could imagine the giants causing a massacre; it was just looking at those giant armored things. However, a boy entering a camp with only two men, as they had information that there were almost 200 wildlings there, was quite surreal, even hearing all the fantastical stories from little Jon.

"Anyway, we managed to capture 20 prisoners by the end of the fight, and they were handed over to your men. After 3 days of rest, we began marching here for 5 days, and now we are here."

Lord Glover's look showed some satisfaction, even though this boy next to his lord spoke unbelievable things; he still had confirmation in the letter written to him by a captain of a guard unit.

"How was my Ester? I hope the wildlings didn't do anything to her? Because I'm thinking of starting a company north of the Wall and eradicating any wild village I find!" He growled.

"The girl is well, my lord. She was not harmed and seemed quite helpful and with a stable mind after all she went through." Jon said.

"I'll believe you, lad. House Glover will remember this and will always be in your debt. There will always be a place at my table in front of our fireplace when you want to visit my castle, as a gesture of my friendship and gratitude!" He declared sincerely.

All the nobles beside the lord of Deepwood couldn't help but feel a certain pride; this young man had done a great service, defeating those wildlings and saving a daughter of a great lord. He was just a boy and already had more achievements than most men in the North; at this rate, the North would be glorious and respected in the future.

Ned was a very happy father at this moment, looked at his Jon, who hadn't seen the moons and was very pleased with his achievements, not forgetting to talk to the boy at this moment.

"Jon, I'm very happy and proud, but still, you are just a 9-day-old child to do such things! Enter a camp full of wildlings? You are still just a child!" Ned scolded him with a stern tone.

"Lorde Stark, if you allow me to speak...?" Said a voice behind Jon, Ned looked at the man approaching on horseback, wearing the same magnificent armor as his nephew. He quickly noticed that this man was an experienced warrior due to his posture.
