One might think that those closest to the king of any country would be the safest in the land, but when it comes to Game Of Thrones, that couldn’t be farther from the truth. As evidenced time and time again throughout the series, the closer a person gets to the King, the closer one comes to their untimely demise. It may be dangerous, but many figures in Game Of Thrones actively seek to be put on the King’s Small Council.
