CHAPTER 3

Hello everyone. Thanks for the respond I get from you all. Sorry for the late update. But I promise I will update this story regularly. Probably one chapter per week. I will also post this story on AO3. My profile is nayaksk308.

ROBB'S POV:-

After I found out the truth concerning Jon's parentage my first course of action was to secure the documents and proofs in the crypts but in a more secure place. Then I consider my options with whom I can trust this information along with my plans. After thinking about it a long time I decided for the time being I will share this with the two people who will be affected most by this, Jon and Arya. After discussing with them I will decide my next course of action. So I go to the only place where I will most likely find Jon. The Godswood. That place is means to Jon as much as the crypts means to me. So I star walking toward the Godswood. On my way I saw Arya who is also heading to same destination as mine. I have an idea where and why she is going there. So what will be the result of her confrontation with Jon is something I am very interested to know. So I hid behind a nearby tree and listened to their conversation. Even I was shocked by the kiss Arya gave Jon though I was excepting it. I was not surprised by her suggestion to run away. Obviously it is Jon we are talking about the second coming of honourable Ned stark. So he was not convinced. From his voice it seemed like he was giving up on his love which I can't allow. So when he said they have no future I decide to step in.

"And who are you to decide that you don't have any future Jon?"

Both of them look horrified after knowing that they have an audience. Jon looked like a person who is about to confess his crime. He has shame, guilt and sadness in his eyes. Arya also has a gilt look in her eyes but she also has defiant look in her eyes as if challenging me to say something. But both of them have a worried look in their eyes.

"Don't worry I have known about both of your feelings even before you yourself realized them. I am just glad you both finally come to realize them." I reassured them. Relive was clearly seen on their face. Though Jon has still the guilt in his eyes.

ARYA'S POV:-

I was first horrified after seeing Robb. But I was not worried for myself but Jon. What will Robb think of us? Will he tell father about? Will they execute Jon? I can't let them punish Jon. But after hearing Robb's word and seeing that he also support us, I was much relived. I also have a hope for our future now. I know Robb is smart. Actually the smartest person I know. If he is supporting us then there is chance he will think of something for us. So that's why I asked him to be sure of his support of our relationship.

"If you had known, then does that mean you are supporting us?"

"Yes" he replied with a smile.

"So what is your plan for us? Because you hadn't said that we have a future if you hadn't thought of something." I asked grinning. Now I am confident. Because with Robb with us we could have a chance of being together.

"Ah as smart as ever little sister. Yes I have a plan but before that-"before he could finish he was interrupted by a third voice about who we have forgotten in our little smartass comment exchange.

"Wait wait, Robb you seriously thinking of a plan and you have no problem? Have you forgot that we are sibling? There is nothing you could do make it acceptable. Obviously if your plans also involve with we running away from Westeros then forget about it. As I said to Arya I am not tarnishing the stark name." Jon said with confusion and a little anger in his voice as he is still shocked about how lightly Robb is taking this.

"Two things. First, for me your happiness is way more important than any social norm. If you two are happy then I will support you no matter how wrong it seem to rest of the world. Second, I was coming to what my plan is before someone rudely interrupt me. " Robb said with little annoyance.

"Let Robb finish what he have to say you stubborn fool." I said by slapping his arm. Jon looked sheepishly.

"As I was saying before being interrupted before doing any plan I have to show something which I discovered in the crypts." Robb said and then instruct us to follow him to the crypts. So we three set on our way to the crypts.

JON'S POV:-

On our way to the crypts, I was trying to wrap my mind around the things that has already happened today. Arya's admittance that she return my feelings towards her, feelings for which I had made mind to go to the Wall. Then Robb heard our conversation. His having no problem with us. It is just too much. And now Robb is taking us to the crypt for showing us something. I don't know what surprise I will get this day. I looked at my side to see Arya was taking all of this very well. Obviously she is taking this well because she is strong, actually the strongest person I know besides father and Robb. And I know the reason she looks so relived because Robb is with us in all of this. And Robb is smart. Robb is like father at the same time he is not. He could as honourable as father. But when it comes to family he can become the most cunning and ruthless person in the world. He will sacrifice honour duty and moral for the sake of his family. i really pity anyone that will try to harm our family. Because Robb will destroyed them in every possible way. I respect him for that. Also a little jealous because I can never be like that. He will be a great leader. Because he knows when to be honourable and when to be cunning.

We reached the crypts. I haven't come here for a while. It is a dark here but there are lights in form of candles that father had lit in front of his sister, brother and father. We went to deep in the crypts and finally comes to halt in front of the statue of the old wolf, Cregan Stark. The man who was known as kingmaker. Robb idolizes him. He is Robb's hero. Robb goes behind the statue and bring out some box. He opens it and bring out some documents and letters. What shocked me was the stamp of the Targaryen sigil. Robb gave them to us and tell them to read. And I and Arya read it together.

I was thinking I couldn't get more surprised today. But what I found in the letters and documents shook my whole existence. I found out about my parents. My whole life I wanted to know about my mother. I wished my mother was married to lord stark so I could be a Stark. But it seems gods has a twisted sense of humour. They granted me knowledge of my mother but they also make me realize I am not lord stark's son. They make me trueborn but not a Stark. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to feel. I don't know if I am angry or sad. Father-no lord stark knew but didn't tell me. I am angry at him but I want to know why he didn't tell me. My mind was a complete mess of emotion. I need something to calm down. Then I felt two skinny arm wrap them around me from behind. Without turning I knew it is Arya. And like that my restrain broke. I broke down in Arya's embrace. Hugging her tightly and crying like a child. She ran her fingers on my hair. Then something clicked in my mind. Although I was feeling confused and angry and many more emotions, the one emotion that come out of top was relief. Ever since I have realised my love for Arya I was feeling very guilty. Because we are not siblings but cousins. Which is acceptable. Even our grandparents were cousins. So I calm myself down and look at Robb while still hugging Arya. He was looking at with a soft expression in his face. I had many question to ask him so I detach myself from Arya and asked him how and when he comes across this. So he explained everything about how he comes across this. After listening his explanation I asked him the question that is bugging me since I read the documents about my birth.

"Do you know why lord stark didn't tell us?" I asked him.

It seem there are quite a few responds concerning Robb's pairing. All have their different opinion about the pairing. So I have decided that I will do a poll concerning the pairing. I have counted how many people wants which pairing from the respond given to me through both PM and reviews. This poll will continue till chapter 10.
