Naruto and Sansa followed behind the guard who led them to Bran's room. The child lay in bed under the pelts of animals and seemed to be asleep. But as the maester explained, Bran was unconscious, and they were not sure when he would wake up. Naruto began examining Bran and questioning Maester Luwin about the child's condition. When Luwin told him everything, Naruto promised to figure it out. After which he went to his family.
Naruto arrived where his family, except Robert and Joffrey, was having breakfast. He walked over to them, ruffled Tommen's hair, then kissed Myrcella and Cersei on the cheeks.
"Will Bran die?" - Myrcella asked.
"No." - Naruto replied to his sister. This slightly lifted Myrcelle's spirits. - "But he may never walk."
"Why should a child endure such torment?" - Jamie asked. For which he earned a condemning look from his sister.
"Everything is in the hands of the gods. We can only pray." - answered Tyrion.
"Have you decided to go to the Wall after all? It doesn't seem like you." - Cersei asked Tyrion.
"You have forgotten how to be surprised dear sister. This is a grandiose structure, the brave men of the Night Watch, the frosty wind of the white walkers." - answered Tyrion, then tickled Tommen.
"Surely you're not thinking of taking the black?" - Jamie asked his dwarf brother.
"Are you joking? My celibacy would crush all whores from Dorn to Casterly Rock." - Tyrion replied indignantly. - "I simply want to stand on the Wall and urinate from the edge of the world."
"The children don't need to listen to your filth." - Cersei said, looking at her little brother. Then she took Tommen and Myrcella away. Naruto also decided to leave since he had something to do.
Naruto walked over to the tower Bran had fallen from. From what he was told, Bran climbed the wall many times and never fell, he was always surefooted. Naruto scanned the crash site. But he couldn't find anything. He climbed the tower to the floor from which Bran fell. He did not find any external traces or odours. He walked over to the gap in the wall. He saw the fingerprints of a child on the outside wall. This was where Bran had fallen. He continued his examination until he noticed several black feathers. They belonged to a raven, but these feathers gave him a weird feeling, as he felt some kind of energy emanating from the feathers. It was not a chakra, but something similar. Naruto took the feathers to further study when he was back in King's Landing.
At the same time, Cersei came to visit Caitlin Stark, who was sitting by her son's bed. She was dressed in her usual clothes. As soon as the queen came in, Caitlin got up, but Cersei told her not to get up.
"I'm sorry I'm not dressed, Your Grace." - Caitlin said.
"Don't apologize. You should be with your son now. And please call me Cersei." - answered the queen and looked at Bran.
Caitlin sat down on the chair next to her son's bed again. Cersei walked over to it, sat on the edge of Bran's bed and took Caitlin's hand.
"I know what you feel. A few months after his birth, Naruto turned white with a fever. But he was a warrior and was able to overcome the disease. Throughout that period I never left his bedside. Everyone told me that he would not make it. Even Robert gave up, but not me, I prayed and believed. I was so happy when he recovered, like a weight had been lifted." - said Cersei. She hadn't told anyone about this before. Now she felt the time was right, this could prove helpful in gaining the trust of the Stark Matriarch.
Later, Naruto came by again to check how Bran was doing.
"I have two theories Lady Stark. I examined the tower and did not find any traces other than crow's feathers. And Bran has claw marks on his face. So one of my theories is an attack of ravens. It's very strange though." - concluded Naruto.
"And the second?" - Caitlin asked.
"The second is that someone wants to soil relations between our two families. It was no coincidence that Bran fell exactly when we arrived here, and the King having just announced my engagement to Sansa." - Naruto suggested.
"But why would anyone want to do that?" - Caitlin asked with tears.
"Because every kingdom wants to see its daughter on the throne. And they are ready to make sacrifices out of anyone. " - explained Naruto, after which he went up to Caitlin, took her hands and squeezed gently, and unnoticed began to influence her with his chakra. "Trust me Lady Stark, I'll take care of this and find the culprit."
"I believe you, my prince." - for some reason, Caitlin was ready to believe everything Naruto said, she found it soothing. - "Please take care of my daughters."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Now excuse me, but I need to prepare for our departure." - Naruto promised. Then he hugged Caitlin goodbye.
Naruto escorted Cersei to her room and as soon as the door closed behind them, Naruto pulled Cersei to him and kissed her. It was a wild, passionate kiss, Cersei responded fiercely. Their tongues were passionately intertwined, studying each other's mouths. After a few minutes, they broke the kiss to recapture their oxygen. Their lips were connected by a thin string of saliva. Cersei noticed it and sucked it greedily with her lips, swallowing it.
"Do you know that you are a very slutty mom?" Naruto asked with a smile, looking into his mother's eyes, which were burning with desire.
"And who made me this way?" Cersei asked with a grin. "Tyrion influences you badly."
"It has nothing to do with it. It's just that when your mother is the sexiest woman around, it's hard to resist." - Naruto admitted. Cersei kissed her son again, after which she sent him to prepare to leave.
After several days on the road, Jon Snow, with his uncle Benjen and Tyrion, drove to the Wall, while the royal delegation continued on to King's Landing. Soon they stopped for a break.
Winterfell
Caitlin stood by the tree of the Seven. Next to her were her son Rob, Theon Greyjoy, Maester Luwin and one of Lord Stark's advisers. He was holding in his hands, the dagger with which the assassin tried to kill Bran.
"I don't think Bran fell by himself, I checked the tower myself and the prince found crow feathers there. But the dagger is a completely different matter. Someone very wealthy hired the killer." - said Caitlin.
"But is it worth believing the prince, My Lady? He's half Lannister." - Luwin scoffed.
"And on the other half Baratheon. So I will go to King's Landing and personally discuss with him." - answered Lady Stark. Robb tried to object to her leaving alone, but Caitlin reminded him that a Stark must always remain in Winterfell. She also ordered them not to inform Ned of her arrival.
At the Royal Party.
Sansa, in a light dress, walked with Lady her direwolf, who she kept on a leash. She stopped abruptly when she saw an elderly man in front of her, who looked at her eerily and was silent. Sandor Clegane explained to her that he had been silent since the king ripped out his tongue.
"He shows great mastery with the sword though." - said Joffrey, who had come up to them. He looked at Sansa. He wanted her, but his brother got her, and it vexed him.
Seriously Joffrey? How do you know that? You carry a sword for appearances." - said Naruto, who approached them and went down to stroke Lady, who began to lick his hands and demand that he stroked her, which Naruto happily did. After that, Joffrey left begrudgingly, while Naruto and Sansa decided to walk to the river.
Near the river.
Naruto and Sansa arrived at the riverbank, choosing to stay within the shadows for privacy. They kissed, Sansa holding onto Naruto's neck while Naruto squeezed her ass roughly. Naruto wasn't going to do anything she wasn't ready to. If she says to stop, he will.
They broke away from each other when they heard screams on the other side. Upon arrival, they saw Joffrey stick a sword to the face of a child and leave a cut on his cheek, then Arya proceeded to whack Joffrey on the back with a stick, and the other child managed to escape. Joffrey, in anger, chased Arya and brandished his sword, Naruto immediately charged across the river towards them.
Joffrey swung his sword over the fallen Arya as Nymeria jumped out of the bushes to protect her owner and rushed at Joffrey. Unfortunately Naruto was in the way and the dire wolf sunk her teeth into Naruto's left arm. But she quickly realized this was not the one who attacked her mistress, she immediately fled towards the forest.
In the evening.
Naruto with a bandaged hand came to the hall where his parents, brother, Lord Stark and the king's guards were present. Naruto didn't show himself right away. He listened to what drivel his brother had spawned and how Cersei was protecting him. He could understand her though, since the story Joffrey told was completely false. He made himself out to be a victim.
Everyone was on edge. Suddenly there were claps in the room. People looked around and saw Naruto applauding.
"Wonderful story, brother." - Naruto said as he approached his parents. - "You should write books. You lied about everything though, a pity."
"About what, son?" - Robert asked.
"To begin with, you wanted to show them how to fight with swords? As I said earlier, you don't know how to use anything other than a crossbow. Then you attacked an unarmed child with a real sword and gave him a cut." - Naruto said. People were shocked as it was entirely different from Joffrey's story. Cersei was especially peeved, she certainly loved Joffrey, but now she was willing to punish him. The main thing is that Tywin doesn't know about this. - "And then you attacked Lord Stark's daughter."
"Brother, her wolf ..." - Joffrey wanted to say, but Naruto didn't let him finish.
"Shut your mouth, Joffrey. Her direwolf did as it should. She defended her mistress." - said Naruto, and everyone listened to him, including the King and Lord Stark.
"So what should we do, son?" - the King asked. He was proud that his heir was getting used to fulfilling his future duties, as this left him a lot of time for wine and women.
"Joffrey, for attacking Lord Stark's daughter and the boy, I will take your crossbow." - Naruto said, but seeing that his brother wanted to object, added. - "And also you will learn how to wield a sword from Uncle Jamie. Six times a week. "
Naruto could hardly contain a smile at the sight of Joffrey's face. He knew how much his brother loved his crossbow and disdained everything else. Jamie wanted to literally be anywhere else because he knew Joffrey's training would be difficult. Cersei did not know whom she felt sorrier for: her brother or her son.
"Arya you will not go unpunished. You could have called adults, but you decided to attack my brother." - Naruto said. He may not be particularly fond of Joffrey, but he was his brother. - "Nymeria will return to Winterfell and you are to wait for the continuation of the training that every lady must go through. "
After Naruto's words, Arya face visibly paled as that was worse than any torture for her.
"And now I will go to my chambers." - said Naruto walking to the exit from the hall. - "And furthermore. If anyone tries to harm Nymeria or the Lady, then I will dismember their arms and legs. "
After which Naruto went to sleep. The King and Lord Stark were pleased with Naruto's decision. So was Cersei. The only one who was not happy was Joffrey.
