"The coat of arms of House Targaryen is the three-headed dragon, the coat of arms of House Stark is the direwolf, the coat of arms of House Baratheon is the crowned stag, the coat of arms of House Lannister is the roaring lion, and the coat of arms of House Arryn is the crescent falcon. Grandpa, why is the coat of arms of our House Tully the leaping trout?" "What do you think?" "Because trout is the most ferocious fish in the river, but the fish is not majestic at all. It is not as impressive as the sea monster crest of the Greyjoy family." "My child, you are only half right. You must keep in mind that trout are fish that cannot leave the water, and hundreds of millions of people are the water where fish live. The family coat of arms reminds us that as long as fish and water are tightly combined, even the most majestic monsters must bow their heads obediently!"

"I am willing to offer any sacrifice, please give me the power of revenge!" The girl bowed her head to the altar and prayed. "Let me see what price you can afford?" Questions came from the unknown darkness, as if they were judging whether the deal was a good deal. "Well, earthly beauty decays in an instant, mortal souls are fragile and ignorant, and you seem to have nothing." The appraiser was somewhat disenchanted. "No, I am still alive. When I live, I have hope and a future. I pay the price with my life!" The girl's defense provoked a burst of laughter from the onlookers in the dark. "Is anyone willing to sign a contract for this life?" The appraiser asked hastily as if he wanted to end the ceremony as soon as possible. What awaited the girl was silence, followed by a louder laugh. "I accept!" A man roared, causing the noise to stop abruptly. "A devil has come?" The estimator meant. "That's a fool!" The scoffers sneered. "I hope he will be a hero." The girl prayed softly.
