The Dreadfort's Heir
As he joined Roose Bolton's convoy to Winterfell for the few remaining miles, he felt a sense of pride that he had never felt before. Ramsay Bolton rode beside his father, ahead of the two carriages that must have contained Lady Walda Bolton and Lady Alyssa Stark. There was no sign of the direwolf, Shadow, so he had to assume she was with her mistress. Myranda was among the household, Ramsay realized that his father was moving everyone to Winterfell. Hunting there was going to be fun. He didn't know the territory that well, he hadn't been able to check it out any of the times he had been in the area. Still, the thought thrilled him.
"Alyssa Stark told me what happened with the Ironborn at the Dreadfort," Roose said finally, as Winterfell came into view. "You handled yourself well."
"Did she tell you about the men she killed?" Ramsay smirked.
Roose's blue eyes lit up with curiosity, "So she can fight?"
"Better than the Ironborn that went up against her," Ramsay nodded, "and that wolf of hers is a beast!"
"You're smitten with the Stark?" Roose asked.
Ramsay eyed his father for a moment before he replied, "You can call it that."
"Is it how you feel about that toy of yours... Myranda?" Roose questioned.
That
made Ramsay laugh, Myranda was exactly that. A toy. Something to be hunted when he was done playing. Alyssa Stark, on the other hand, Ramsay wanted to see her do the hunting. Though with Myranda close by, he gave a simple but honest, "No."
"Good. Keep it that way," Roose ordered.
"As you wish," Ramsay nodded. "Have you heard any news from Locke?"
"No, not since he arrived at the Wall," Roose replied. He took in a deep breath and smiled, "What do you think of our new home?"
"I think that I could get used to it," Ramsay smiled back at his father. There were a lot of things that he could get used to. Especially the company of the Wolf that was returning to her true home. That, and the benifits that came with being Roose Bolton's soul heir. As Ramsay looked at his father, he wondered what Roose Bolton had planned next.
I definitely had to have Ramsay as a main character. As twisted as he is, he's one of my favorite characters. Like Brienne's chapter, this one was a filler, but I really hope that the next one will be a lot longer.
