Short chapter, since works a bitch. No lemon for once, surprise surprise.
Making her way down the stairs she wondered what her dragon was up too, wondering if he was conquering more women. Her heart yearned for the boy, no the man that conquered her to return and take his rightful place inside of her.
"What do you want?" The voice said looking up at her. The man holding up his hand to block the light from the torch. The brightness of it blinding his eyesight.
"I want you to renounce the claims you made and you'll be allowed to take the black," Cersei said standing in front of Eddard Stark. Her scarlet dress soaking in the flames.
She ignored his laugh, knowing that she would get that last laugh in their exchange. "It's the truth. Why should I renounce it?"
"For the love you bear your daughters, your children, and your grandchildren," Cersai said to him knowing that he didn't have any at the moment. His eyes widening at the mention of grandchildren, his mind likely thinking of Sansa and Joffrey.
"No, it's too soon for her," He said, despair filling his voice at the knowledge that his little girl is pregnant with that bastard's offspring. The anger flowed as cold as ice in his veins.
She watched him wrap his mind around the falsehood he developed inside of his mind, not minding at all. Taking joy in watching him go insane. "Renounce your claims before it's too late and take the black for their sake not yours."
"And you'll keep them as hostages," He growled at her, a hint of anger finally showing itself to her.
"No," She said, confusion covering his face. "Send Ichigo Snow and you can have the daughters back in the north with you. The marriage is already off the table with the false tales that you sent out."
"Why do you want my bastard? He's nothing," Ned said, his gut telling him that she knew more than she was letting on.
"Would you like to feel it?" She asked him, ignoring his question as she held her stomach and the child inside that was growing. "A couple of months left before it comes," She told him, ignoring the glare he sent her way.
"Why would I want to feel your product of incest?" Ned asked, disgusted that she wanted him to feel the incestous child inside her.
"I've never slept with my brother you fool," Cersei responded, anger filling her voice. "I've slept with only two other people. A stag and a dragon."
"No," He said, the despair hitting him even harder and Cersei fought the urge to smile as she watched. "How many people know!"
"My brother, and I both know," She said, watching his breathing getting faster. "So would you like to feel it?"
She watched as he put his hand up, the soft touch of his hands surprising her that he could still have a gentle touch while being locked down in the black cells.
"When?" He asked his eyes down casted, staring at the filth on the floor.
She couldn't hide the smile on her face, "The day we came up to name you the hand of the king, it was during the feast. We even continued our relationship after that till you sent him away."
"So do you accept the deal or cause more harm to your family?" She asked watching him look up at her with hate in his eyes.
"Ichigo! You hurry your ass up boy," A voice yelled at him as they made camp at Moat Cailin. The Bloody Baron promised to hold it for as long as they needed, his brother told him before they arrived.
Ichigo pushed in the Gatehouse Tower that housed his brother, a map spread out in front of him with the northern lords surrounding him as they watched him enter the tower, half of them not trusting him for squiring for Jaimie Lannister. "Ichigo you made it," Robb said, his eyes not leaving the map as Grey Wind looked up at him.
"Bastard," He heard Theon say with a smile on his face before they shook hands. "Greyjoy."
"So where are we going to cross my lord?" The Greatjon asked, wanting to know where they planned on crossing.
"Lord Bolton will bleed the lannisters at the green fork, tricking them into thinking that we're crossing there. You'll be given the command of the foot soldiers Lord Bolton," Robb said with the authority of a king's voice. "Everyone else but Lord Reed and Lord Strenger will march south and cross the twins to free Riverrun."
Ichigo watched as the northern lords agreed with it, some voice displeasure of not killing enough lions. "Ichigo," He heard Robb say, drawing his attention. "You'll march with me tomorrow." He nodded at that knowing that it would be wisest to keep him close.
"You're all dismissed, but Ichigo stay. I need to have a word with you," Robb said as everyone obeyed. A smile coming to his lips at how well Robb played being a leader.
"You did good," Ichigo said to his brother with honesty in his voice.
"Did I?" Robb asked him wanting his brother's opinion on his plans even more than ever now. "Do you think it'll work?"
Ichigo rubbed his chin as he thought about it, large scale battles not being his strong point as he thought about how he usually rushed in and fought the enemy head on instead of using trickey. "Yes, if Lord Bolton manages to grab hold of their attention in time we'll be able to strike some crucial blows to them."
Robb didn't reply as he kept looking over the map. "What about the Eyrie?" Ichigo asked curious if their aunt would join on their side or not.
He watched as Robbs fist slammed into the table, the force knocking over pieces of their army. "Silence," Robb said through gritted teeth. "No response to our calls for help."
Ichigo watched as he vented about it, not being able to blame their aunt for not joining seeing as she had no reason too. His hand touched Robbs shoulder as he stopped to look at Ichigo. "Go get some rest Robb. We have a long march ahead of ourselves."
"There's something else I need you to do," Robb said as he looked directly into Ichigo's eyes. "Rumors are spreading throughout the camp that there's witches hiding in the swamp and the riverlands. I want you to find any truth you can about it and see if you can secure their help. I've already secured some help from other witches but the more we have the better the chance we have of winning this war."
"Witches?" Ichigo asked curious about who was feeding Robb this information. "I doubt I'll find any, but sure I'll look into for you. What witches are helping us?" He said holding back a laugh.
"I wouldn't doubt it," Robb said. "As I said we have some already helping us and one of them might be an elf."
Hearing that Ichigo raised his eyebrows, curious if his brother truly believed that he recruited some witches or not. "Can I meet them?"
"Not yet. They're gathering information for us as we speak," Robb said, hoping to fill his voice that the war was already in their favor.
Ichigo shook his head at what Robb was saying. "Go get some sleep Robb, you need it or you're going to start telling me elfs are alive and real. Not the speculation of one of these witches being one," He said, seeing Robb head up the stairs to his room. "They are Ichigo and you should start believing these rumors as much as I do. It's a long and hard march ahead of us."
"I will be," Ichigo said as he walked outside the tower, the words his brother told him causing his mind to race. His eyes following the boltons forces already preparing to leave. "So how was the meeting?" A feminme voice asked him to his left as he walked.
"What did your father say?" He asked, sounding defeated if you didn't know him. His eyes showed a little bit of amusement in them.
She stood in front of him as he moved her out of his way, her cheeks puffing up at his antics. "He didn't say anything. He was passed out drunk when I went to ask him about marching off with you and your brother."
"It won't be easy if you decide to march with us Tamara," Ichigo said looking for food as he walked, his stomach growling at him.
She watched as he looked around him, his eyes searching for something to eat. "If you allow me to march with you I'll tell you where they keep the food."
"Deal," He said, just wanting to know where the food was as his stomach growled even more at the thought of food.
"That way to the left. You'll see a line of people gathered to get their portions too," Tamara said a smile on her face as she watched Ichigo rush towards the line. "Men are too easy."
