White serpent: Oh trust me things are about to get wild
Jean d'arc: Yeah Mia is an intelligent woman but she lets her emotions make her decisions for her, seeing Martyn and Willem Lannister butchered by the Karstarks so soon after she learned of Bran and Rickon's supposed death was hard for her, honestly I think it would be hard for anyone
NightlyRowenTree: Thanks! your simple review made my day :)
Damn long chapter today my friends! but don't thank me yet...oh god please don't hate me
Death
Mia Snow
Riverrun…..
Mia looks upon the three men standing before her and her brother, the man calling himself Griff eyes them cautiously, Ser Aegor looks ready to strike as does Ser Rolly "I have heard of the man called Jon Connington" Robb says "Are you sure this is him?"
"I am your grace," The Blackfish says "Though his hair was a different color"
Robb turns back to Griff and his men "Is this true?" he asks.
"I have not been Jon Connington for a long time your grace" Griff replies "Not since Aerys Targaryen exiled me"
Rob nods and gestures to the table "Please, sit" he says "You must be weary from your journey"
"Thank you, your grace," Griff says, the group moves to the large table, with Mia, Catelyn, Blackfish, Edmure Tully and Robb sitting across from Griff and his companions.
"Will you take bread and salt?" Edmure offers.
"I would have this man's spear absent from my back!" Ser Aegor says angrily staring at the guard hovering over him.
Robb nods and gestures for the guards to back away "Introductions then" Robb says "This is my mother Lady Catelyn" he says gesturing to Lady Stark "My uncle Lord Edumre and you already know Ser Brynden it seems and my sister Mia"
"Of course," Griff says, he stands and kisses Catelyn's hand "An honor to meet you, my lady," he says "I was sorry to hear of your father...and of your husband"
Lady Stark stiffens at that "Thank you...Lord Connington" she says.
"I am no longer a lord my lady," he says before turning to Blackfish and Lord Edmure and greeting them as well, Ser Rolly does the same but silently and Ser Aegor simply nods. Finally, Griff turns to Mia "A pleasure my lady" he greets also kissing her hand "I once danced with your lady mother, she was a kind and beautiful woman"
Mia smiles "I don't remember my mother," she says "But I thank you all the same my lord"
"You wanted an audience," Robb says "You have one"
Griff nods "We come with an offer your grace," he says "10,000 of the golden company"
Robb seems surprised but very intrigued "10,000 men?" he asks.
"Sellswords Your grace" Edmure reminds.
"Good and honorable men," Ser Rolly says finally breaking his silence, his voice was powerful but gentle "Ser Aegor and I have fought with them a long time"
"Would it matter?" Ser Aegor grumbles "We are offering you enough men to crush the Lannisters"
"Yes but why?" Robb asks "Forgive me Sers, but I doubt this offer is free"
"No your grace it is not" Griff admits "In exchange for this alliance, we asks that you help our lord gain the Iron Throne"
"And who is your lord?" Robb asks.
"The true King of the seven kingdoms," Griff says "Aegon Targaryen, Son of Prince Rhaegar Targaryen"
"Do you take the king for a fool Lord Connigton?" The Blackfish demands "Aegon Targaryen was slaughtered by Gregor Cleagne during the sack of King's Landing"
"That is a tale," Griff says "Sprung by the spider himself"
"Varys," Mia says "Are you saying the master of whisperers saved Rhaegar's son?"
"He switched him with another" Griff explains "Aegon was but an infant, would it really be so hard?"
Edmure scoffs "Next you will say that it was not The Mad King that Jamie Lannister slaughtered"
"We are offering you ten thousand men for the price of a throne you do not want," Ser Aegor says impatiently "Why do you care who sits it?"
"Are you are a knight or a fool that you would ask such a question?" Edmure asks.
Ser Aegor angrily jumps to his feet, Tully guards step forward, Griff and Ser Rolly rush to calm their companion down, Roob gestures for the guards to stop "Apologies your grace" Griff says quickly.
"None required except from my uncle," Robb says giving Edmure a look of death "Ser Brynden see our guests to food and rest"
The Blackfish nods and leads the three men away, when they are alone Robb sets down his crown and turns to Edmure "Did my grandfather not teach you on how to receive guests?" he asks angrily.
Edmure scoffs "Those men are playing you for a fool Robb," he says "Likey they are sellswords owned by Tywin sent to lure you into a trap"
"Have you forgotten that Jon Connington is among them?" Catelyn asks.
"Jon Connigton has been exiled in Essos for close to nineteen years" Edmure counters "Tywin could easily have offered him a royal pardon in exchange for his loyalty"
"That is true enough" Robb admits.
Mia steps forward "And if he's telling the truth?" Mia asks "Ten thousand men, our army would be bigger then it was before the Karstarks left"
"You would have me pull Joffrey from the Iron Throne, just to place another pretender on it?"
"We're fighting for the North not the south" Mia argues "This Aegon is offering us the key to win the war"
"It is not the only key" Robb reflects quietly "Perhaps the Freys could be brought back into the fold"
"I doubt that" Mia scoffs "They weren't too pleased when you broke your oath"
Robb's jaw clenches "All the same," he says "I must try and gain Walder Frey's forgiveness" he turns to Edmure "Uncle send a raven to Lord Walder, ask him to send an emissary to discuss terms of a new alliance"
Edmure nods and leaves.
"Walder Frey has 4,000 men" Mia argues less than what Jon Connington offers"
"Your sister is right," Lady Catelyn says "At least consider it"
"I'll do more than consider it," Robb says "We will speak to them, but I will not have my uncle and Ser Aegor in the same room"
"No" Catelyn agrees "That would not be wise"
Later the three once again meet their guests "You have my apologies for before" Robb says "My uncle spoke out of turn"
"As did my companion" Griff responds, Aegor scoffs but says nothing "There is no need for apologies"
"I've decided to hear your offer," Robb says.
"Our offer is simple," Griff says "We will give you the entire might of the golden company, we will help you win the war against the Lannister usurpers if you vow to see our lord on the Iron Throne and crush its pretenders"
"I have no quarrel with Stannis Baratheon," Robb says.
"With respect, your grace" Ser Rolly says "You will if you decided to accept our alliance"
"Stannis's army was crushed at the battle of the Blackwater by the Lannisters and Tyrells," Griff says "It is unlikely we will even need your help on that account"
Robb taps his fingers on the table "Say I do decide to help you" he says "What happens when the war is over? I Imagine Lord Aegon wants to be king of all the seven kingdoms and I am fighting to rule over two of them"
Griff nods in understanding "I do admit, my lord will not be happy losing the Riverlands and the North" he says "But it's a price he's willing to pay if you guarantee our alliance"
"You would have my solemn oath of course," Robb says, prompting another scoff from Aegor.
"We have heard what your oaths are worth" Aegor says much to the chagrin of Rolly and Griff.
"He means to say that we would like assurances Your grace" Ser Rolly says "Too much depends on this alliance to trust anyone's word"
"I see," Robb says, Mia could tell he was offended "And what assurances would you need?"
"Marriage" Griff says "Your sister Sansa, to our lord Aegon"
Robb clenches his fist "My sister has already been married" he says with barely contained anger "To the Imp"
"What?" Mia asks this was the first time she was hearing of this "When were you going to tell me?"
"Not now," Robb says without looking at her.
"Make her a widow" Ser Aegor suggests with a smirk.
Robb reflects on this "You have given me much to consider my lords" he says "Would it be possible for you to remain in Riverrun for a while?'
"We have duties across the Narrow Sea" Griff responds "But Ser Rolly can remain for a while"
Robb nods "Thank you, Lord Connington," he says "We will treat him well and feed him for as long as he is our guest"
"I do not eat too much your grace" Ser Rolly says.
Robb nods "We would also see you well equipped for your journey home"
"Westeros is our home," Ser Aegor says "Essos is our prison"
"It's quite a large prison" Mia comments.
The group begins to disperse, Robb turns to his mother "Would you see to it Ser Rolly has everything he needs?"
"Of course" Lady Stark replies.
Robb turns to Mia 'Walk with me" he orders.
She obeys and follows her brother down that corridor "Our sister has been married" she says "I thought I would be told of such a thing"
"I only learned of it a few days ago" he explains "The Blackfish brought me the raven and I only told my mother, she deserved to know"
Mia grabs Robb's arm to bring him to a halt "So did I" she snaps.
Robb looks into his sister's eyes "You're right" he says "I should have told you but we have bigger problems"
The two continue walking "You know that Talisa is with child?" he asks.
Mia's neck stiffens "I do" she answers "I'm happy for you"
Robb nods with a smile "I'll have a son or a daughter soon" he says "And they will be heir to the north"
"You sound sad," Mia says.
They stop walking as they reach the great hall "War is dangerous" he says "If I die"
"You won't!" Mia cuts in "I won't let you! Never!"
Robb sighs "If I do, then I will be leaving the North in the hands of an infant," he says "I would need someone to rule in their stead"
Mia suddenly becomes very aware of the way he is looking at her and lets out a nervous laugh "You would put such faith in a bastard?" she asks.
"A bastard?" Robb shakes his head "Never" he nods to the to guards who open the door and let them in, inside stood, Galbert Glover, Maege Mormont, her firstborn daughter Dacey Mormont Ser Brynden the Blackfish, Edmure Tully, Greatjon Umber and his son Smalljon.
"Bran and Rickon are dead," Robb says "Jon is a man of the Night's watch, Arya is child and Sansa is married to Tyrion Lannister, I'll be damned if I ever let that imp rule the North in her name"
Mia's eyes widen as realizes what he intends "Your mother would not approve of this," she says.
"My mother is not a king" Robb counters "Kneel"
Mia obeys and bends the knee to her brother and king, Robb nods to Dacey who brings him a sealed letter, he takes it and then offers it to Mia "I Robb of House Stark, the first of my name, Lord of Winterfell and King in the North, do hereby declare Mia Snow a true member of House Stark. From this day until you're last day you are Mia Stark, daughter of Eddard Stark, Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North"
Mia takes a shaky breath and puts all her will in fighting off the tears, Robb had just given her everything she ever wanted "Thank you for your grace" she says "I swear by the old gods and the new that I will be worthy of you"
Robb smiles and takes her hand helping her to her feet, he then turns to the others "My lords and ladies!" he announces "In the event on my death do you swear to serve my sister as Lady of Winterfell and Protector of the North?"
"We do so swear your grace!" they declare in unison.
Three Weeks Later, Near The Twins….
Lady Catelyn watches Mia attentively as she is dressed into her new outfit, they had brought a seamstress from Pinkmaiden and paid her to make Mia a new dress, Robb had secured a new alliance by Marrying his uncle Edmure to Walder Frey's daughter Roslin, they marched to the Twins for the wedding and Robb had insisted that Mia look the part of her new status.
"All done!' The seamstress announces cheerfully, she steps back and giddily admires her work "Oh you look so beautiful, come see, come see"
She pulls Mia in front of a mirror to show her, the dress was dark black and embroidered with white patches made to look like stars, paying respects to her mother's House. Around her neck, she wore a black Direwolf necklace, the darkness of the dress seemed to enhance the paleness of her skin and the purple of her eyes.
An unfamiliar swell of pride built in up in her throat, choking her words.
"You look like a princess" Lady Catelyn comments, with a downhearted look on her face, Mia knew how difficult this was for her, she had spent the last eighteen years fearing that her husband's children would surpass her own and while Mia had no intention of doing that it seemed to be happening anyway.
Lady Catelyn sighs and stands from her seat "Walder Frey is a very proud man" she explains "And Robb has offended him, when we arrive at the twins he will do everything he can to provoke us"
"Why are you telling me this?" Mia asks.
"You are no longer a bastard" Lady Stark says, the words seemed to sting her "You can no longer stand to the side while Robb does all the talking, you will be expected to speak, to pay your respects to Lord Walder, I am certain he will make some japes and...you have been known to lose your composure"
"I will behave as courteously as Sansa would," Mia says with a smile, it breaks when watches Lady Stark's face fall at the mention of her lost "I'm sorry I didn't-"
"I know child," Catelyn says with an encouraging nod.
Before either of the two can say more, Robb steps in dressed in his own royal clothing, he wore a bronze-colored doublet embroidered with the direwolf of their house around his shoulders rested a grey Northen cape and on his head rested his crown.
His eyes fall upon Mia making her cheeks burn red but he only smiles "You look beautiful sister" he says 'As always
Mia smiles back "And you're a charming bootlicker brother" she responds "As always"
"Today you will need to be," Catelyn says "We need Walder Frey's men"
"No we don't" Mia insists "Griff and his people are offering ten thousand men for our cause, more than half of what the Freys can offer us"
"Even if they're telling the truth the golden company is in Essos" Robb counters "It would take time to bring them to Westeros, time that we don't have"
Robb sighs "We don't have time to argue," he says "The Lord of the Crossing awaits"
Mia nods reluctantly and wraps her Northern cloak around herself before stepping out of the tent with Robb and Catelyn, the three break away to find their own horses, as Mia is preparing the saddle someone calls out to her.
"Lady Mia!"
Mia groans at the sound of the familiar voice "Oh gods be good!" she exclaims. She turns to see Queen Talisa standing before her, dressed in her own royal attire that seemed to resemble that of a volantene noble, her belly was growing big with her Robb's child.
"I wish to have words, my lady," she says.
Mia rolls her eyes, the woman had been relentless in trying to earn her approval "If only I could stop them your grace" she says sardonically.
"I have been married to your brother for months now," she says "Yet you still seem to believe that I am the enemy"
"I find it hard to believe that of all the men here you happened to fall in love with the King in the North"
"Well that is what happend," Talisa says "I do not ask you to see me as sister right away, just that you give me a chance and accept that I truly love your brother"
Mia studies the queen intently, she seemed to be sincere and she and she made Robb happy, Was this how Lady Catelyn felt? Mia thought to herself All those years I spent hating my father's wife and now I'm doing the same thing she did.
Mia turns to face the young queen fully "I accept it" she says sincerely "Now on your way"
Talisa does not smile be her faced shows that she is pleased, with a small bow she turns to leave.
"Your grace!" Mia calls, the queen turns back to face her "Congratulations...on your child"
This time Talisa does smile.
Later In the Twins….
Mia watches Robb as he accepts the plate of salt and bread from Petyr Frey, Petyr pimple they called him and one only had to look at the warts and lumps on his face to see why.
Robb dips a piece of bread in the salt and eats it before passing it to his mother, she does the same and then passes it to Talisa who passes it to Blackfish the cycle continues through the large hall.
"My honored guest" old Lord Frey begins with a bored voice "Be welcome within my walls and at my table" Petyr pimple then passes the plate to Walder Frey who takes a bite of bread "I extend to you my hospitality and protection in the light of the seven"
"We thank you, my lord," Robb says "I have come to make my apologies and beg your forgiveness"
"Apologies heh" Lord Frey says "It wasn't me you spurned it was my girls" he claps his hands and at least a dozen girls step forward, the old lord introduces them all one by one but by the end of it Mia can't even remember most of their names "One of them was supposed to be queen, now none of them are"
"My ladies" Robb greets "All men should keep their word, kings especially I was pledged to marry one of you and I broke that vow, the fault is not with you any man would be lucky to have any one of you I only broke my vow because I loved another, I beg you my ladies for your forgiveness for the dishonor I have brought upon you and your house and I hope that we can move forward so that House Frey and Stark can once again call each other friends"
Walder Frey claps "Very good your grace" his old eyes then full on Talisa "Their she is, come closer"
Talisa does so silently "Still can't see you, forgive me I have old eyes heh" he says, Talisa steps forth again "Love, that's what the Starks of Winterfell call it heh very honorable I call it a pretty face, your king says he betrayed me for love, I say he betrayed me for firm tits and a tight fit"
Robb steps forward angrily, but Lady Catelyn keeps him back "Oh I can respect that your grace," Frey says mockingly "When I was your age I would've broken fifty vows especially for one so pretty heh"
Suddenly his old and withered head turns in Mia's direction making her heart sink "Though I must say she may not be the prettiest wench in this room" he says "I hear I not only have a new queen but a new princess as well heh, well go on then let me get a better look at you"
Mia looks to Robb who nods in reassurance, she steps forward close enough the old man to see her "Yes much prettier I think" he decides after examining her "It's a shame I took this one for my wife" he says gesturing to the eighth Lady Frey who stood shyly next to him "If it weren't for her I might be making a different marriage alliance with his grace heh"
Mia feels a familiar fire burn angrily in her but she manages to keep it contained instead she gives the old lord a bright smile "Thank you my lord" she says "You flatter me"
"It seems a bastard can rise high on other places then the wall," Lord Frey says "Perhaps if your brother was a Targaryen You would have risen even higher and it would have been you who slipped through his sheets and stolen the place of my daughter heh"
Mia's smile disappears she turns to Robb who's face had gone so red with anger he looked ready to burst, Catelyn sensing the tension steps forward "Forgive us my lord but we have had a long journey" she says "We would like to rest before the wedding.
"Rest yes" Lord Frey mutters I have enough room in the hall for you lot, we'll set up tents with food and ale for the rest of your men"
"Thank you, my lord," Robb says icily.
Lord Frey stands from is oaken throne "Well let's get ready!" he announces "The wine will flow red and the music will play loud and then we can put this mess behind us!"
Later that night they all gathered again in the hall for Lord Edmure's wedding, the Starks and Tullys stood on the left side of the room and the Freys on the right, Edmure stood at the altar with a nervous look on his face as he awaited his new bride, Walder Frey brought her fourth, her face covered by a veil, she is taken up to the altar where her veil is removed, all the fear disappears from Edmure's face and is replaced by surprise and relief.
Roslin was nothing like her sisters she had very white skin, a pretty face with a small chin, a delicate nose, and big brown eyes. Her hair was brown and reaches her waist. She kneels before the Lord of Riverrun "Lord Edmure" she says shyly "I pray I am not a disappointment to you"
Edmure smiles and pulls her to her feet "You are a delight to me my lady" he says,
"You may now cloak the bride and bring her under your protection," the Septon says.
Edmure removes his cloak and places it around Roslin's shoulders, Mia notices Lord Walder giving Robb a funny look and can't help but give her brother a smirk herself.
The Septon binds the couple's hands together "In the sight of the seven I hereby seal these two souls binding them as one for eternity, look upon one another and say the words
Edmure Roslin turn to each other "Father, Smith, Warrior, Mother, Maiden, Crone, Stranger, I am hers and she mine, from this day until my last day"
As the feast begins the music plays loudly and cheerfully the singers and musicians played the bear and the maiden fair, Robb danced with his wife but when she grew tired he asked Dacey Mormont for a dance,
The Greatjon was roaring drunk, Ser Whalen Frey and Merret Frey were matching him drink for drink, Petyr pimple had already passed out trying to keep up.
Mia looks around for Olyvar Frey, he was her only hope of enjoying the night it seems, she didn't like the rest of his family very much "Ser Ryaman!" she calls that fat knight turns to face her "I was looking for your uncle Olyvar" she explains "Is he here?"
"No Princess" Ser Ryman answers "He has gone from the castles"
"Oh I see" Mia says trying to hide her disappoint she had enjoyed the boy's company, she is a pulled away from her thoughts when a large hand touches her arm, she turns to see that Greatjon standing before "Why do you look so glum lass?" the large man asks drunkenly loud, he does not wait for her to answer "Come then honor me with a dance!"
Before she can protest he pulls her onto the floor, she feels stiff at first but soon lets herself to smile and enjoy it as the Greatjon twirls her around "I do believe you are drunk Lord Umber" she says with a laugh.
The Greatjon returns her laugh "Oh aye I am princess!" he booms "But not nearly enough!"
The song finally begins to die down, Robb steps towards Mia and the Greatjon "Lord Umber may I borrow my sister"
The Greatjon sighs sadly and nods "Remember the sacrifices I make for you your grace" he says before grinning at Mia "Good company is in short supply here"
Mia smiles at the Lord of Last Hearth before turning to her Brother who begins leading her into another dance "I do believe you are enjoying this" he laughs.
Mia laughs "I admit it's not all bad being a highborn lady," she says.
Robb's smile disappears "I'm sorry," he says "You shouldn't of had to suffer that old fool's insults"
Mia quickly glances at Walder Frey who sits at the high table along with Edmure, Roslin and Lady Frey "It's all for our cause" she says before turning back to her brother as they continue to dance "Robb you have given me everything I ever could have wanted I…" her voice trails off as she tries to blink away the tears"
Robb wipes them from her cheeks "Father should have given you this years ago" he says "You and Jon, you both deserved it, little sister"
Mia laughs at the sound of his old pet name for her "I am more than a year older than you" she reminds.
Robb smirks "Doesn't matter" he says "You'll always be a little sister to me".
As the song ends Robb and Mia break away, Talisa steps forward to join them "I'm sorry to interrupt" Talisa says, Mia smiles at her politely in response "Robb could I speak to you?" she asks.
Mia turns to see Lady Catelyn sitting and talking to Roose Bolton "Your mother Is speaking to Lord Bolton" Mia says "I shall try and rescue her"
Robb smiles back "If my mother of all people needs rescuing, then you have no hope of helping"
Mia gives her brother one final smile "All the same I would be a coward if I didn't try"
She seats herself next to Lady Catelyn who looks Immensely relieved by her presence "Apologies Lord Bolton" Mia says "I had not realized you had arrived"
"Only a few hours ago Princess" he says "There was some trouble with a couple of prisoners at Harrenhal"
'You grace!" Walder Frey calls out, the guests begin banging on the table until Lord Frey raises his hand for silence "The Septon has prayed his prayers, some words were said and Lord Edmure has wrapped my daughter in a cloak but they are not yet man and wife, a sword needs a sheath heh and a wedding needs a bedding! What does my sire say?"
The crowd begins chanting "To bed! To bed! To bed! To bed!"
Robb smirks and stands from his seat "If you think the time right Lord Walder then, by all means, let us bed them!"
The crowd cheers as the music begin playing loudly "To bed! To bed! To bed! To bed! To bed!"
The men march up to the high table and pull Roslin from her seat "Give her here!" the Greatjon booms "I'll carry the girl!"
The Women do the same to Lord Edmure making bawdy jokes as they strip him from his clothes.
Mia laughs and claps but does not join them, preferring to stay in the hall she turns to Catelyn "Poor girl" the elder woman says.
Mia nods "I hope I never have to suffer that fate," she says.
Catelyn smiles "Your father forbade ours," she says, "He said it wouldn't be right if he broke a man's jaw on our wedding night"
Mia smirks "If a man ever tries stripping me naked while dragging me to my bed I'll break something far more valuable"
Catelyn laughs lightly, it was the first time Mia had seen her laugh let alone make her.
Mia's smile falls when she notices Black Walder Frey shutting the doors behind the bedding ceremony, it falls further when the musicians begin playing a solemn song Where have I heard that song before? She thinks to herself
She looks to Lady Stark who looks equally concerned, outside she hears Grey Wind and Dusk Howling loudly in their cages.
"Your grace!" Walder Frey calls, the music stops, the remaining guests seat themselves and Robb steps forward "I feel I've been remiss in my duties, I've given you meat and wine and music but I haven't given you the hospitality you deserve, my King has married and I owe my new Queen a wedding gift"
King Robert's party Mia realized thinking back to her journey with her father to the capital The Lannisters were singing that song almost every night The Rains Of Castamere!
Suddenly Lady Catelyn jumps to her feet and slaps Roose Bolton across the face, as the Lord of the Dreadfort ran from the room Catelyn cried out "Rob!"
Before anyone can react "Lame Lothar Frey draws a dagger and hobbles over to queen Talisa and repeatedly stab her in her pregnant stomach, Robb, stunned by shock and anger goes for his sword but is when a crossbow bolt impales itself in his shoulder.
Mia stands from her feet, not fully processing what was happening, but is grounded when a bolt is shot into her left hand pinning it to the wooden table, she lets out a scream as a sharp pain radiates throughout her arm, another bolt catches her in the thigh, bringing her to her knees.
The Frey men then draw daggers and begin viciously slaughtering the Northmen and Tully men, Robb is filled with more bolts and knocked to the ground, Talisa attempts to rush from her seat but soon collapses due to her wounds, Lady Catelyn his caught in the shoulder by a bolt.
Mia grips the bolt in her hand and pulls it out with another scream, freeing her hand as blood squirts from it, she crawls under the table and looks for a way out or a weapon, she spots Dacey Mormont smash a wine flagon over Benfrey Frey's head, she ran for the door and managed to get it open but waiting on the other side was Ryman Frey and a dozen men-at-arms behind him, her buried an ax into Dacey's stomach as they flooded the room.
There's no way out Mia thought hopelessly, she looked around for anything she could use for a weapon and eventually settled on a dining knife, The Greatjon suddenly bursts into the room, bleeding from a dozen "Walder Frey!" he roars angrily "You traitorous bastard I'll spill your guts!"
Ser Benfrey moves to stop him but is grabbed by the throat, The Greatjon squeezes and crushes it before anyone can stop him, the so-called-musicians unload six bolts into the giant man and while it slows him down it does not stop him, finally Black Walder drives his sword into the man's back followed by Ser Raymund Frey, he is finally brought down when Ser Ryman Frey buries an ax into his neck, with three more blows the Greatjon's mighty head falls to the floor.
Mia is suddenly pulled out from under the table by Ser Hosteen Frey "Come here Stark bitch!" he sneers.
She drives her knife into her attacker's eye, the man screams in agony, blood, and fluids our onto Mia's face "FUCKING WHORE!" Hosteen screams.
She rolls him over and cuts out his other eye before raising her blade to finish him, before she can bring it down, hands seize her arms and pulls the knife from her hand, Lame Lothar and Ser Raymund drag his forward and throw her at Walder Frey's feet, it was then she realized her brother was still alive, his torso filled with crossbow bolts, he slowly crawled over to his wife who had bled to death from her injuries "Heh, heh The King in the North Arises" Lord Frey announces.
Mia tries to crawl to her brother but Lame Lothar grabs a handful of her hair and yanks her back, so he can press a knife to his throat "Shall I open her up father?" he asks Lord Walder.
The old lord shrugs "Why bother? One pretty little bastard won't cause any trouble" he says "We can make her another wedding gift to Joffrey heh"
Lady Catelyn suddenly springs out from under a table wielding a knife she drags Lady Frey from her hiding spot and presses the blade to her throat "Lord Walder!" she screams "Lord Walder enough! Let it end" he tone suddenly becomes more desperate "Please! He is my son, my first son and my last, let him go and I swear we will forget this I swear it by the old gods and new we will take no vengeance!"
"You already swore me one oath right here in my castle!" Lord Frey says angrily "You swore by all the gods your son would marry my daughter!"
"Take me for a hostage!" Catelyn says desperately "But let Robb go" she turns to her son "Robb get up! Get up and walk ou, Please! Please!" Robb doesn't respond he just stares his dead wife in his arms.
"And why would I let him do that?" Frey asks.
Catelyn presses her blade deeper into Lady Frey's neck "On my honor as a Tully, on my honor as a Stark, let him go or I will cut your wife's throat!"
Lord Frey seems to consider this and for a moment Mia has hope He's going to let him go she thought He has to let him go
But then Lord Frey gives Catelyn a smile "I'll find another heh"
Robb finally struggles to his feet "Mother" he mutters.
Roose Bolton returns to the hall and steps over to Robb "The Lannisters send their regards" he thrust his blade into the King in the North's heart and twisted.
The blade at Mia's throat could not prevent her screaming out in anguish even when it cuts into her neck, Robb falls to his knees and the final look he ever gives her is one full of concern, He's worried about me she realizes, the thought makes her laugh hysterically He's dying and he's still worrying about me.
Lady Catelyn kept her oath, with a blood-curdling scream she opens Lady Frey's throat, moments later Black Walder steps behind her and does the same.
As Catelyn's body slumps to the ground more tears stream down Mia's face, burning her eyes, Kill me she thought Let me die, it hurts, by the gods, it hurt so much, everything is ruined I just want it to be over.
But her prayers are not answered, instead, Lame Lothar drags her away, she claws at the ground until her fingernails peel back.
Yeah...I know a lot of you guys were hoping the red wedding wouldn't happen but it had to Mia was serving as a spectator she couldn't spread her wings while her brother was still alive now that he's dead we can fully follow her story I've been waiting for this since I started and I can't wait to get into it.
