この物語は、愛がなければ視えない

And on the other hand, you have Gwayne who thought knighthood was as easy as breathing. What's so hard about holding honor and keeping oaths? It's what men like him were born to do, after all — it's in his nature. But then he gets taken out of the theater of jousts and tourneys and shoved into actual war, and realizes: shit, it's easy to be just and honorable in comfort and privilege, when you aren't scared and fighting for your life. Men at war turn into beasts, raping and pillaging and getting away with it. Gwayne the Green Knight — Green as in naïve and has to learn that war doesn't reward honorable men.

We could have had a Jaime and Brienne type deal, where Criston impresses Gwayne with how decisive he is a Commander, how he's willing to make tough calls and that Criston's not actually as hateable a man as Gwayne's prejudice led him to believe. Meanwhile, Gwayne challenges Criston's cynicism, shows him that it is possible to still be honorable. There is such a thing as good knights and not just hypocrites.

And then there’s Ormund just grooming the Targ kid he has to be his pawn, chopping fingers off, trolling Daemon Targaryen, and occasionally crashing out. All for the of the game (of thrones).
