--------------------------------------------

She wished to know if that man was the god that talked to her earlier and hoped that she could speak with him more. (She wished that she could have asked him for his number since she would like to talk to him sometimes after the book is complete.)

'Goodbye, little Cassana. Take care of the boy and don't let him disappear from your eyes.' Said the author with a small voice as he looked at the young Edward in Cassana's hands before giving a sly smile. He was planning to fuck the young Eddard's life up. He swore to pay him back for all the problems that he caused in the other book.

After hearing those words, Cassana turned her eyes back to her son in her hands to check his condition and see if that god was not deceiving her by saying those sweat words. Nothing changed for a minute, then five more passed without anything happening. Cassana started doubting what she saw earlier. And she could only think of one conclusion about what happened. What happened was just an illusion from her mind, and she was about to cry after thinking of that.

But before she started to cry again, the boy in her hands commenced taking his first breath that made her sniffle from shock and surprise. She could not help but raise her child to check on his condition and hug the young boy in her hands a little hard after seeing that he would be alright. She waited to see if he would open his eyes at the moment, or would he take more time after all he had been through since he came to this world? Anyway, she could not help but pray and thank the lord of Darkness, Author, for his help and doing her this great favor. By letting her son live, she would not disappoint her husband or her later father by law. From this moment, The first believer in Westeros got born.

Cassana did not wait any longer and called maester Jones at once to ask him to check her son's condition to see what was wrong with him and why he was not opening his eyes already. She could not wait anymore after seeing that her son started breathing again.

"Maester Jones!!!" Shouted Cassana as she looked towards the door while carrying her son in her hands with a smile.

Maester Jones, who stood outside with the maids and servants the whole time, heard his lady's voice from the inside, but he thought he would not have the ability to reply since the group got bound earlier by some kind of sorcery. But to his surprise, when the man tried to move his lips this time to check if he could reply to his lady, he was able to do that and could not feel anything binding him anymore. He did not understand what was happening and why he could not move earlier, so he decided to answer his lady's call first before investigating this accident thoroughly.

"Yes, my lady." Said maester Jones as he entered the chamber, followed by the maids who could not move earlier as well. He wondered what was troubling the lady earlier and could not help but look left and right to check if there was anything in the chamber.

"Come and check on Eddard's condition." Said Cassana as she smiled after looking at her son. She finally decided to use the name that her father by law chose before his death. Her husband had mentioned his father's wish before he died in the message that he sent earlier, and she could not help but respect the old master and do what he wanted as a last favor to that man.

After hearing her words, maester Jones could only shake his head since he knew the boy's condition very well and was sure that he was already dead from earlier. He thought that his lady was only troubling herself by thinking about her dead son.

Jones did not want to say anything to upset his lady at this point. He decided to listen to her words and perform a regular check on the boy before telling her the sad news.

Jones came close to his lady and her son in her hands to fake a check-up, but the moment he saw the boy and checked his pulse, Jones took two steps back and looked at the boy as if he was looking at a ghost. Jones was sure that the boy was dead since he saw that he did not breathe for more than five minutes when Jones checked his condition before leaving the room earlier, so how could the boy be still alive after that? Jones could not believe his eyes and thought that he was hallucinating.

"Impossible, impossible..." Stuttered the maester in a deep voice since he could not believe what he had just witnessed. His eyes did not leave the boy for a moment and stood there in his daze, not uttering another word as if he was a corpse.

"Hurry up, maester." Said Cassana with a soft and tired smile after seeing Jones's reaction. She was sure that her son was alive this time and what she saw was not an illusion. But after all that happened and the blood loss, she was pale and tired. She wanted nothing more than having a good rest right at the moment. But she controlled herself to make sure that her son was safe before that.

Jones, who heard his lady's words, could not help but stare at her with deep and questioning eyes since she was the only one in the room after asking him to leave. Did his lady do something to revive her son? Could she have performed some kind of sorcery? But he did not hear about anything in this world capable of return people back to life like that. Not to mention that he was with Lord Ormund Baratheon before Cassana even married Steffon, and he knew for sure that she could not do any sorcery, or he would know since he was the maester.

Maester Jones, who was still in a daze all this time, approached the boy to check on his condition to see if there was anything different than usual with the boy's condition. He was sure that the boy was alright and healthy at this point like any normal child.

"But, how could this be!!!!" Said maester Jones as he still could not believe that the child who came to this world dead was alive and breathing as if nothing happened at all.
