This is a short follow up. A real chapter soon.

Well guys, I've just come to an realization. I spend more time writing and replying to your reviews rather than trying to write the actual story. Like these justifications and answers that I am providing are around 250 to 350 words. Which isn't that big, but considering I don't write more than 3000 to 3500 words it is. So at this point in time, I'm really considering writing a prequel.

Anyways, let's start. Let's go if you can follow me. First Eddard married Ashara in front of the old gods since he was feeling guilty also promised to marry later in a sept . But Hoster Tully thought that he was just avoiding marrying Catelyn in by making up reasons that he was already married. Ned also didn't have anyone to prove that they had really married. Benjen was back at Winterfell, Brandon and his friends had gone to King's Landing, So were Princess Elia and her companions. Ser Arthur was at the tower. (Robert was in hiding.) So it was only his word, even if it was the truth and had its weight in gold it probably wasn't enough for Hoster Tully. The septon at Riverun considered that since a marriage in front of the old gods wae different than one in a sept didn't knowing whether it happened in the first place. He declared that Ned could marry Catelyn. But according to the Northern Lords and general public their lord would never lie and he was basically forced into a marriage a marriage he didn't want. In their opinion Ned had already married Ashara they think that his marriage to Catelyn was a false. So Jon is true born and Robb a bastard.

Benjen was waiting in the Iron Bank's corridor, it had been over an hour and he was still waiting. If it wasn't for the fact that he needed Banks assistance he would have probably left but seeing Sir Wylis had already informed him that Iron Bank liked to keep its potential customers waiting to assess them. It probably came as no big surprise that they were hell bent on making him wait as well. It looked as if the Iron Bank really considered him important as they let him in at after few moments.

Benjen entered as the guard announced,"Lord Benjen Stark of Winterfell."

And he immediately rushed off. Benjen wasn't surprised to see that there were three bankers present at this meeting but what surprised him was that they were no new recruits and all looked as if they were higher up in the hierarchy of the bank. This meant that they really considered him important at least it looked as if to him either him or his money but whatever the facts they were here and so was he let's get this over with. He thought.

"We are extremely sorry we kept you waiting my Lord. But seeing as the bank was a bit busy we are sure that you can understand." One of the bankers said he looked towards third old man who looked like he probably would be dead anytime soon.

Bengin tried to up his mask and put his most fake smile which he was sure they would notice and said "I'm sure the Iron bank must be very busy I am grateful that you have taken out your time to meet me." Yes he fooled none but he was irritated. The middle ones' eyebrows rose slightly. He continued on,

"Today I'm here to look at House Stark's account and also have a chat about something I'm sure you would be interested in."

"We are sure that we could go over at all with you My Lord" replied the one sitting in the middle that did not look as old as the first one but was still old and far too friendly.

"Please do take a seat my Lord" he said. Benjen decided to sit and took a seat in front of them.

"Get a copy of Lords accounts." said the oldest one said or more likely he ordered. The pages hurriedly came out of the room and drop the sheets of paper in front of the table he then apologized profoundly and began sorting up and gave it to the old man.

"Lord Benjen there are 412,386 Dragons and 14 stags in House Stark's account." he said passing over the sheets to Benjen.

Benjen began reading. It took him quite a few minutes to go over the whole thing but in the end he wants delighted to know that House Stark's accounts and had incurred good amount of interest.

"Well certainly seems to be on order." Benjen said putting away the account sheets, "now I would like to discuss with you a new business venture of mine.

The oldest one and replied,"What kind of business venture my Lord?"

"Recently new mines were discovered in my holdings and I have come to know that they contain a precious stone called jade which is quite valuable in Yi-ti,"

The same old man replied, "Jade you say?"

"Yes it certainly seems that it is. I have even brought some with me. Benjen said as he pressed his hand into his robes and took out a small box that fit within the palm of his hand and presented it before them,

All three of looked into the box the one in the middle took out one of the larger pieces and began examining it as a jeweler would do. He then proceeded to hold it near one of the windows from where sunlight was coming in it.

"Well my Lord it certainly is Jade as you say but Ironbark only accepts deposits as gold or silver." He replied putting the piece back into the box and passing it on to his fellow bankers.

"I am aware of that." Benjen replied, "I would rather like you to help me sell it. The Ironbark has always been a good services provider and I'm sure you can accommodate. You can yes?"

"Yes we could help you with that the banker replied with a glint in his eyes, "for a fee of course."

"That's great" Benjen said rising up from his seat and said,"We can surely discuss this at a later date. After all I will be in the city for quite a few days and I plan to enjoy it. I'll be waiting for your reply." Benjen said as it turned around and walked out.
