He literally won the trial by combat, at that point the honorable thing to do would be to drop the matter and leave him be
After the Greyjoy Rebellion, in the matter of the Lannister girl, Axel had been wrong not to take responsibility. He had been raised from childhood in the values of honor, duty, and loyalty, and Ned could not understand why Axel had tried so contemptibly to evade his obligations. He had managed to wriggle out of them, but eventually even Jon had been unable to tolerate such conduct from his heir and had wanted to see the matter settled properly. Axel had thrown a fit and, like a common coward, fled to Essos to sell his sword to the highest bidder.

Eddard was the second son, you teach honor to your second son so he doesn’t usurp the first
Though I am called a man of honor, if I am honest with myself, I know that is not true. Over my long life I have made many mistakes. Take the situation with the Royces. What I did to Elena Royce could have brought rebellion to the Vale. Yet, by some miracle of the Seven, it all worked out.

It could have been changed but atleast now it says Elena
The two young men's faces burned with shame. Not everything he listed was true, but most of it was. Besides, it was useless now to argue that their sister had simply played them for fools. The first two months there had been nothing suspicious. Then she had decided to visit some close friends and was gone for half a year. And when she returned and the brothers saw that she was with child, they wrote to their father in the capital. He sailed back in record time, and punishment fell on everyone. The knights who had failed to inform their lord. The servants were nearly put to death, but Elena pleaded for them and they escaped with only a flogging. The brothers, despite being grown men of age, were scolded publicly. They could face anyone else for two days afterward. Yet even so, their father could not calm himself. The only one who had temporarily escaped his fury was Elena, on account of her condition. But afterward... an interrogation with full insistence, and then the scolding.

He won’t be warden of the west
The idea of being the Warden of the West... it was a plot twist even the most imaginative bards of Lannisport wouldn't have dared to sing. Who would ever look to a Tyrion for protection?

I’m just amazed they knew it was there ahead of time and seemingly made no preparations
Caraxes was circling low, his unearthly shrieks echoing over the frantic shouts of the Imperial legionaries. It was a gruesome, pitiful sight to watch mortal men attempt to face down a dragon. They were disciplined, brave warriors of Rome, but courage meant nothing against a primordial furnace. Men screamed as liquid fire washed over their formations. The stench of roasting flesh and melting iron was suffocating.

Daemon was supposedly a surprise so just the sword I guess
"You have blasphemed against HIM and His people," Ana's multiplied voices boomed, shaking the very foundations of the subterranean temple. Her emerald gaze grew blindingly bright. "And for this, there is but one punishment. Judgement."

It seemed to be hinting she was part of the Imperium so I figured she was going to double cross but she and her group have already killed so many I don’t see how that is reasonably possible at this point. Recently I’ve been thinking she’s going to die and give Daemon a reason to hate the Imperium
"Are you quite done with your ministrations or will you have me undress myself after I went through all the effort to change out of armour" Ana spoke, her voice being sultry and mischievous at the same time. She was wearing a rose velvet kirtle which hugged her figure complimented by the ruby ring she wore on her foremost finger.

Yeah so far the last 37 chapters just seem to be the empires troops getting slaughtered left and right by some random sellswords
They watched with cold, disciplined eyes as Ana and her surviving veterans backed away, dragging their wounded through the sucking mud, until the heavy iron portcullis of Qohor finally swallowed them whole.

Wasn’t it crushed?
We entered the command tent. Like all things surrounding the Falling Stars, it was strictly modest; there were no luxurious Myrish carpets or plush featherbeds sprawled across the premises. There was little more than a sturdy wooden table, a simple cot, and a few rugged chairs. Considering I had never heard of the Falling Stars before today, the bare-bones camp confirmed my belief that they were a fledgling sellsword company with no real claim to fame.

The story is getting very confusing lately
As for Jaime, he split off part of his cavalry to reinforce Casterly Rock. The rest would link up with Eddard, surround Highgarden without attacking, then force a river crossing to lift the siege of Bitterbridge.
