Game Of Thrones Season 6: 10 Big Questions We're Asking After 'Battle Of The Bastards'

5. What Does Littlefinger Want In Return?

As expected, Littlefinger and the forces from the Vale arrived at the Battle of the Bastards. They arrived late in the day, but still managed to save it nonetheless.

Of course, while it's easy to get swept up in the victory for our heroes, the worrying part of this is Littlefinger's involvement. As we've seen over and over, Petyr Baelish is not a man who does things out of the kindness of his heart. He always has an ulterior motive, and only makes moves from which he personally can profit.

So, with his army coming to the rescue here, what will he stand to gain from it? Is he going to attempt to marry Sansa? Demand the North? Have Sansa marry her cousin Robin to unite Winterfell and the Vale? With Littlefinger, you never really know (but it's probably the first one, and it's probably going to come over as pretty gross on his part).
