When Ned Stark — literally the King's Hand and second most powerful man in Westeros — asks to buy a helmet, Gendry, a low-born blacksmith boy, shuts him down: 'It's not for sale.' Ned's people scramble to apologize, but Gendry doesn't flinch. The moment captures something rare: a person who won't let someone else's title override their own sense of value, even when the power gap is enormous.
