Eddard's Chapter:
In this chapter Ned meets with the council and Varys finds out that Daenerys is pregnant. Robert then suggest that they kill Daenerys because if the baby she us carrying is born then it will ultimately start a war and cause many lives to be taken. Killing Daenerys right now would be better for everyone because then lives will be saved. The council goes on to think of ways that would be best for killing her; they mention poisoning but then Ned says that Robert do it since it was his idea.
This chapter is important because it sheds light on how the council feels about morals. The fact that Robert suggest that they assassinate Daenerys and the baby makes you think that he no longer has a sense of morality. Robert is very inconsiderate of others; he cares more about how thing will affect him, more than innocent lives. Ned seems to be the only one with a clear mind because the other council members agree with Roberts. They all just want power. This chapter of the book brings up the topic how poorly women were treated in order for others to gain power. The fact that the leaders of the kingdom think this way shows how corrupt things are.
