Chapter 6:

Planing

Jon

When he arrived at the council room he saw that the already were In a heated conversation.

"My lords!" shouted Jon with the Wolfsguards behind him. "What's going on?"

"The Wildlings Army is only three days away from the Wall. The Night's Watch, there are few left, as you know, and we are their only defense. " Jon sighed. He didn't think the Wildlings were that close. Last time they had received news from the Night's Watch about them, they were only gathering under the so-called King Beyond the Wall. Now they were almost at the Wall."I already sent the army that was ready. 5.000 men as you know are already on the march and 3.000 are preparing. They will leave under Robb" Lord Aerys said. "Lord Umber has already left for Castle Black with four hundred men and will arrive there before us, thus giving support to the Night's Watch. And buying us time, to reach them. We don't know if they will attack only from one side."

"Good!" Answered Jon. Now he had to make a drastic decision, one that he had been thinking for a long time, and that the latest news forced his hand: Make peace with the Wildings, and unite the North, against his true enemy. All the North and he will have to announce it now.

"My lords, I need to inform you of a decision I have made. A decision I think not everyone will accept." Jon saw that Lord Aerys was about to protest because he didn't consult with him about it, but he cut him off before he could protest, getting straight to the point "I'm going to make peace with the Wildings."

At that point, chaos erupted in the Council again and everyone began to argue and protest.

"My Lords!" Jon said, raising his voice, and everyone turned to him, surprised. It was already the second time he'd raised his voice so much to recall the lords' attention, on the same day.

"Winter is coming! We are a Kingdom under siege from the North, with the White Walkers marching against us, and the ambitious Kings of the South, lusting for conquest. The Wildings are people from the North, born on the wrong side of the Wall. And if they fall at the hands of the White Walkers, then there will be one hundred thousand more bodies in their army."

Lord Aerys was the first to speak, "Your grace, it is true that there is an army of the dead who march against us, but the Wildlings have sacked and killed thousands of us..."

"And we have killed thousands of them, Lord Hand!" Jon replied irritated. If they were given the opportunity to stay on this side of the Wall, Jon was sure that they would have lived in peace.

Sighing Jon close his eyes, trying to stop the hammering of his heart, and stop the anger, that he was feeling. Then he said "My lords there are a lot of lands south of the Wall, and above all there are a lot of castles at the Wall, which are not inhabited. We will give them those lands and those castles, but not without imposing some of our conditions".

The Lords of the council looked at each other and Lord Aerys said, "We accept, but we should communicate this to the others lords as well. And considering the recent event, anticipate your wedding to tomorrow. "

Jon sighed and nodded, then turning toward the Master of Ships Lord Manderly, he said "Lord Manderly, I have a special task for you. I want you to go to Essos and hire the company of the Hundred lances. They are a big number despite their name. The leader's name is Laena Waters, and I have met her during my times in Essos, and saved her life. We have become friends, and she promised to help me if I need. She has a company of 5.000 men, most of them are riders from Tyrosh and a lot of footmen and archers. I'll give you the letter when you will leave, to be delivered to her."

Lord Manderly nodded.

"If there's nothing else, I'd like to accompany Robb to his army."

After everyone shakes their heads they left the room.

Jon and Robb were walking through the hall that leads outside the castle.

"Guess who I talked to?" said Robb suddenly.

"Who?" he turned toward him with a risen eyebrow

"Your future queen and wife."

"And there was also that Essosi maid. A true beauty..."

"Don't even try Robb. That girl won't even give you a look. She only has eyes for Grey Worm. "
"Grey Worm?" Robb asked, chuckling. Shaking his head he added with a smile "Well. Now I'll have something to tease him with."

Jon smiled, trying to imagine their conversation. The girl was shy and considering Robb's relationship with women, and how bold he is, gods that conversation surely was a mess.

After a short moment, Jon sighed.

"Nervous?"

Jon node "I'm nervous about the North and the South, but especially I can't believe I'm getting married tomorrow. And what shocked me the most, is that I already felt in love with her. Not only her beauty but also her heart. With everything Lord Aerys, Viserys and my mother have told me about her, it's like I've known her my whole life."

Robb chuckled.

Then Jon said with a smile "In nine months from tomorrow, I'm probably going to be a father. I can't believe it. That I may soon hold in my arm a new life. The child that will be born from our love, and he will be loved. "

Robb gives him a look.

"What?"

"Love. The death of duty. You know that alliances are made from duty, not love."

Jon becomes serious "Do you remember my promise to the Old Gods, when my father married the Tully woman, and I saw my mother in tears as she was looking at the scene?"

Yes. That you will marry only one woman in your life, and that you will love her, and you'll not do the same things your father did to your mother. And of course, that you will not lay with her against her will."

"Exactly. And that promise was made in blood. I cut my hand and put it, bloodily, to the Weirwood three, swearing that I'll never betray that promise."

"Yes. But I don't understand..."

"If this marriage, in a few years' time, no longer works or if the queen does not have children, I will not put her aside, and I will not marry a second wife, or take a mistress."

"Jon." Robb sighed looking at him "you know who will be King after you if you will not have heirs? And that's her plan, I think."

"It doesn't matter. I made a promise to the Old Gods."

"You put too much worship and trust in the old gods."

"Life teaches me to do so, and you didn't fell what I feel in seeing my father loving another woman who wasn't my mother. Living in a family without love. "

Jon feels some tears coming from his eyes, remembering, how he sat alone with his mother in her chamber, hearing the cry of pleasure of the woman that steals his father'heart, as she was fucking him. And his mother crying in silence hugging him. Now he knows that she only did that so my mother will suffer. All the days and nights sitting with his mother trying to console her, telling her that he will never leave her as his father did and that he will always love her. And he even promised her that he will never do that to his future wife. But how much comfort could have given the words of a six years old boy? His uncle, Arthur was the most furious one. He even wanted to kill him, but his mother persuaded him. Telling that he was the only one, apart from Jon, that she had left, and she couldn't bear to lose him.

In that period, Rhaella and his mother weren't even that close as they were now.

"Are you all right, Jon?" he was brought back to the present, by Robb.

"Yes... just some old memories that were returning."

"Let's see the exciting part of the marriage. Robb said with a smile."

"What part?"

"That tomorrow, she's going to ride you like-"

"Robb!" He said giving him a look and hitting him in a playful. "You better not be imagining my future wife naked."

His eyes widened "No! Of course not." After they looked at each other for a moment they began to laugh. "But you can't deny that you are not curious to see how her body looks under that dress. Or that you are not fantasying about the Targaryen wildness in bed"

Jon chuckled "Well part of it I already seen, during the coronation. She was so beautiful. The most beautiful in the throne room, even more, beautiful than Sansa. But if you were present you'll have seen that too, so I'm now glad that you weren't. Because she is safe from your pervert think and comments."

"Oh, Jon! You offend me, friend, thinking that way of me" Robb said in an offended tone but with a smile.

"You know that I was joking."

"Anyway, let's head toward your army."

When they arrived in the yard they saw that the army was already on the march.

Robb approached his horse and Jon said, "If you defeat the wildlings before I arrive, send a messenger to the wildings and ask for a meeting. If I should not yet arrive, begin the negotiates in my name, with the proposals I have written in the letter.

Robb nodded, then hugging him, said, "Good bay, my friend. I hope to see you again." And climbing on horseback.

"Robb! You are like a brother to me. Remember." Jon said and Robb smiled at him and then galloping towards his army.

Ollena Tyrell

Ollena was in the garden with her ladies in the company, thinking about the new news that her spies brought her. The great Tywin Lannister, the proud Lion of Cately Rock, was deploying his army on their borders. He certainly wasn't invading yet, but she was sure he would do it soon. For this, she decided to make an alliance with Dorne, their mortal enemy. But she also wants to try to make an alliance with the Sormlands.

Looking forward Ollena saw her son arrive.

"Mother. I just received news that King Tywin Lannister is amassing an army on the borders..."

"What else is new that I don't know?"

"But, mother, we should send our army there."

"No! At least not yet."

"So, what do we have to do?"

"Oh, for the Seven Gods. You're stupid as your father." Ollena sighed and looking at her son she said. "First we will see which of our Bannerman is a potential traitor. I have already sent my spies to the various castles, and especially to those that I know are more hungry for power and that believe that our title does not belong to us."

Her son began to smile "So, ..."

But she stopped him first, raising her hand and continued "I have decided to form an alliance with Dorne, and if it is possible with the Stormlands, but I doubt it because Cersi is Tywin's daughter."

"Well, then I start the preparations..."

"I have already done everything. I sent the envoys before you even knew it."

Then Ollena saw that Mace was getting in the way, sitting in one of the chairs.

She sighed and rolled her eyes, leaning her elbows on the braziers of her chair "What else do you want?"

" What if we made an alliance with Tywin Lannister, giving Margery in marriage to his nephew Gerion..."

"He's already betrothed to Myrcella Baratheon."

"But I promised Margery, that she will become the queen of one of the Kingdoms."

She sighed "We will think when the time comes."

"But she is almost seventeen!"

"Enough, Mace! Now go and do whatever you usually do. You are making me have a headache."

His son got up and went away sulking. What a failure!

It's good that none of his children is anything like him, otherwise, this house would have no future, and she's not getting any younger.

Cersei Lannister

Cersi was sitting in her rooms drinking wine and reading, again and again, the message of her father, who asked for a betrothal between Myrcella and Gerion, her brother son. Of course, this gave her excitement, since her sources told her that his son him, even if not completely. As she got up, she went to the balcony with the sheet around her body, to feel the morning air blowing from the sea.

Recently, she found a very capable lover. He was a former Maester of the Citadel, who was exiled from the Citadel, for his experiments on the living and the dead. And she was sure that this will be very useful for her in the future, especially if she has to preserve her son's crown.

His name was Robert of House Hunt, a house of the Reach. He was very much like Jaime, only he has the darkest hairs. He was young, maybe thirty years, and he was really very energetic and vigorous. It gave her a lot of pleasure, more than her late husband and brother when they were young. If he had preferred the sword he would have become a great warrior. Even if thinking, he still knows how to use his swords well. One more than the other.

Thinking back to the night before, she was becoming wet again, and so she closed her eyes. He was really very, very handsome, perhaps the most beautiful man she had ever seen, with that rather dark look that made her shivers and above all he made her wet, every time he looked at her when they were in the court.

He was madly in love with her and pleased her in everything she asked. She has never felt so loved since her mother died. Her father never loved her, her brother forgot about her as soon as he got married, and he didn't even know that Joffrey was his son, and above all, Robert never loved her. The only thing he liked was hunting and whores, he scattered a lot of bastards here and there.

But what worried her most about her new lover, was that she was falling in love with him.

Suddenly she felt a hand clutching her belly and something hard pressing in her back.

She moaned at the sensation, and she hears a voice, that voice she fell in love with saying "Have I satisfied you, my love?"

"Completely!" she replied with a smile on her lips and eyes closed. She felt his hand climbing up slowly, and she dropped the sheet to the floor, she felt him going with one hand to massage her right breast and with the other, he went down to massage the sensitive part at her entrance, and then she felt two fingers sliding inside her.

It felt so good. The pleasure from his message of her breasts with the fingers, sliding in and out of her cunt and the hardness that was at her back, she felt that she almost reach her peak, and when he reached, he took his finger out of her cunt and liked them.

"You taste so good, Cersei!" He was the only one to whom she permitted to call her by her name.

Then turning, she grabbed his cock with her hand and began to stroke, and he leaned to kiss her lips with passion.

"Now it's time for me to return the favor." She said with a smirk "As you have satisfied me this night and this morning."

Kneeling she took him into her mouth, sliding her lips up and down his length as her hands stroked his balls. Looking up she saw him moan and have eyes closed, so she began to do it faster. He threaded his fingers through her hair, grunting softly as he began to pump into her mouth.

"That feels good, my love."

"Mmm, I'll bet it does," she said between long laps of her tongue. She felt the tip going to the back of her troth, and she began to gag.

I'm going to cum, my queen." he said, and she stopped. Getting up she pushed him towards the bed with a smile.

When she felt on the bed and was straddle she climbed over him, she felt the warmth of his stiff flesh teasing her folds. He comes up to kiss her lips, then she pushed him down with a finger and a smile, and she impaled herself on his hard shaft, taking him inch by inch as he filled her to the brim. She gasped when his tip kissed her womb, but quickly regained her bearings as she began to ride him.

His hands come first to her hips, and then to her breast, and she moaned as she reached down and fingered her clit while he plucked at her nipples. Up and down. Up and down. Faster and faster.

She could feel herself climbing towards the peak, again. And he was close as well, his face contorted with pleasure as he gazed up at her.

And then once more he thrust in her, and she arched her back, opening her mouth with a man and closing her eyes. She felt his warm seed inside her, and she collapsed over him, both breathless.

He hugs her while she's on top of him and kisses her passionately. It has never been like that with Robert. He always forced himself on her and raped her, because he was always drunk.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

After a while, he said " What are you going to do? Will you accept your father's proposal?"

She sighed circling his chest with her finger "I know why he is doing this. And he doesn't want my son to rule. He is hungry for power." Then looking toward him she said "But Yes, I'll accept. My children are everything to me, and I'll do everything to protect them."

Putting his finger under her chin and stroking it, he said "And I'll do everything I can to help you, and make sure Joffrey will remain King."

"My father had two hundred thousands men at his command."

"Not enough, when you have this," he said pointing to his head and then lowering to kiss her again.

"That's why I love you so much"

And they began to kiss again passionately, with him stroking her back.

"We should get up. You need to talk to your daughter, and I need to return to my experiments and then meet with the king."

He kisses her one last time and got up, to dress.

In the afternoon, Cersi headed for his daughter's room.

"Myrcella!"

Mother, she smiled and ran to hug her. Cersi smiled too and then said "Myrcella. I have to tell you news. Sit down"

And they both sat on the bed. "Your grandfather asked for a promise of marriage between you and Girion. And you will become the queen of the Kingdom of the Rock, and you will rule the castle and the lands where I was born and raised."

"Oh, mother! I'm so scared."

"You don't have to be, my daughter. You are a lion and a stag. You are just as strong as I was when I was young," she looks down with a sad smile. Cersi raised her face with her fingers and said, "If they hurt you, they will suffer my wrath. Never be afraid to write to me, because no matter how far I am, I will always protect you. And no matter how strong my father or my brother is, I will destroy them, if they make you suffer, or they hurt you. "

Myrcella hugged her tightly, and she felt her tears coming down.

"Tomorrow my daughter will leave for Lannisport and then for Castely Rock."

she nodded and then hugged her again.
