Will choosing love once again cause the Seven Kingdoms to bleed?

Potential Spoilers Below



In the light of Season 8 episode 2 it seems that Archmaester Ebrose will take Sam's words to heart.  I thought that Sam and Bran would be discussing the events of the past in the crypts to come up with a plan.  With Bran acting as bait I now feel that every maester in the Citadel has done exactly as Sam asked at the archmaester's to do.  Could the message read something like this?

Tarly, found records of old tale that speaks of a magic horn when blown is a deterrent to the White Walkers when blown in their presence.  Last known location was at Winterfell.  He will describe it. I hope this message finds you well - Archmaester Ebrose

This is when Sam will spring into action and go ask Gilly where the horn that have gave little Sam to play with is.  The horn will be found and blown and the Old Kings of Winter will rise from their crypts.  They won't be able to defeat the White Walkers but will be able to hold them off until the ground starts to rumble and the earth starts to crack outside of Winterfell when the following will occur:


The maester also mentioned Jenny of Oldstones which is the subject of the song that Podrick sang in episode 2.  Ser Duncan the Small gave up a crown for the love he had for her.  I think Jon will do otherwise when it comes to Dany and choose the realm instead.  He will do what is right because of how Ned raised him.  Here is what I believe concerning Jenny of Oldstones:


The maesters also discussed the prophet Lodos, who promised that the Drowned God would rise up and destroy Aegon the Conqueror.  We now know that Jon Snow's real name is Aegon Targaryen.  Euron Greyjoy is associated with the Drowned God.  Will he become a serious threat to Jon's plan to save the realm?  Is this yet another story that was passed down from old that reflect the current situation like the following:


Examples of choosing love that have hurt the Seven Kingdoms:

Better for Daenerys, and for Westeros. Daenerys Targaryen loved her captain, but that was the girl in her, not the queen. Prince Rhaegar loved his Lady Lyanna, and thousands died for it. Daemon Blackfyre loved the first Daenerys, and rose in rebellion when denied her. Bittersteel and Bloodraven both loved Shiera Seastar, and the Seven Kingdoms bled. The Prince of Dragonflies loved Jenny of Oldstones so much he cast aside a crown, and Westeros paid the bride price in corpses. All three of the sons of the fifth Aegon had wed for love, in defiance of their father’s wishes. And because that unlikely monarch had himself followed his heart when he chose his queen, he allowed his sons to have their way, making bitter enemies where he might have had fast friends. Treason and turmoil followed, as night follows day, ending at Summerhall in sorcery, fire, and grief.
