Chapter 3: Strange Talks
Robb was standing in his chamber that the Lord Frey let him have. His squire Olyvar had just finished helping him to dress up. He looked at himself in the mirror and sighed. The next time he will be in this bedchamber will be to bed his wife. He swallowed hard. He was nervous. He never did anything like this before. He wanted to be wed and give his honour to his wife. He was scared that he will hurt her. He did not want that.
There was a knock on the door and his mother came through into the chamber. She stood there and gasped as she saw him and covered her mouth with her hand as tears sprung in her eyes.
"You look just like your father. I just wish he was here to see you and what great you have become my son." Catelyn said and hugged Robb. Robb closed his eyes. He misses his father but he cannot compare himself to his mother who missed a part of herself.
"We will take him from the Lannister soon enough. As well as the girls, we will win and get back home and live in peace." Robb said and Catelyn just smiled at him.
"If anyone can do it, it is you. You are too much like your father sometimes it scares me deeply." Catelyn said and Robb looked at her with a frown.
"Why mother?" he asked not understanding.
"Your father was a very honourable man and it was a quality that i loved most about him. I fear that the quality will take his life as he always strides to do what he thinks it right. Even at the cost of his own life." Catelyn said and Rob understood.
"I still do not know if this is right mother. It feels rushed." Robb said and Catelyn touched his cheek.
"I know my son. I wish i could give you a wedding that you deserve." Robb smiled sadly at his mother.
"I will be all right mother. Lets get this over with." Robb said and walked out of the chamber and walked with his mother to the Great Hall.
Naida was standing in her chamber and looked as Ysmey put a wreath of flowers on her head and secured it with pins.
"There now its secure you can move and dance and it will be fine." Ysmey said and smiled at Naida.
"By the Gods you look beautiful sister." Roslin said and smiled dreamy at her.
"I want to look just as pretty as you when i get married." Sherai said and Naida looked at the young girl.
"You will look even more beautiful my dear." Naida said with a smile. She was grateful for her sisters as they kept her mind of things she would rather no think of. She looked in the mirror and smiled as she saw herself in her mothers dress. Her dress was a deep blue colour. The bodice of the dress had two golden roses on them, the dress flowed as down to floor. She looked very beautiful she must say. She never had something this beautiful on her as she was with the sick all day there was no use.
"Well are you ready my sister?" Ysmey said and Naida looked at her with a pale face and wide eyes. She felt ill and her stomach was churning. She shook her head. Ysmey looked at her two other sisters.
"Leave me alone with her please." They nodded and left them alone. Ysmey took Naida to sit down on the bed and held her shoulders.
"Are you scared of the bedding ceremony." Ysmey asked.
"I am scared of the bedding ceremony but i know what will happen so i am at peace with it now. What scares me is being with Robb. This marriage scares me. It is rushed and under conditions. He had no choice about that marriage. What if he resents me for it? What if there will be no fondness between us?" Naida looked down at her hands but Ysmey brought it up by her chin to make her look in her eyes.
"Nad please stop this at once. You have a tendency to over think things. If anyone can handle this marriage is you. If you will not love your husband you will love his children and that is more than anyone can ask for. I only wish i could get over my love quicker so i would still be able to marry. Now i am left childless and will die alone." Naida eyes welled at her sister and hugged her.
"You will not die alone. Once the war is finished you will come back with me." Naida said and Ysmey wiped her tears.
"Now we have to go and get you to a wedding. Wipe those tears from your face." Ysmey said which made Naida cry even harder as well as laugh at herself.
"Why are you crying stupid." Ysmey said who was also crying and laughing at the same time.
"Because i do not want to leave you." She said and cried and laughed harder.
"Then why are you laughing." Ysmey said as she wiped her tears.
"Because i am acting silly." She said but could not stop what she was doing.
Roslin and Sherai came to the room and saw their sister is that state and did not know what to do. They just looked at each other and shook their heads.
Robb stood by the Septon and waited nervously for his bride. The Great Hall was not full only few of the Frey children were present and some of Robb's men. It was not a grand wedding indeed. It was rather quiet affair and Rob liked it that way but would his bride be happy at this.
He saw her walking through the door at the hand of her father. She looked beautiful in her dress but he loved the wreath of flowers in her hair. She looked stunning and Robb felt his mouth go dry. She really was a true beauty and no one will deny that.
"Who gives this woman away." The Septon asked.
"I Lord Frey her father will give her away." He said in an impassive tone. He left Naida next to Robb and went to sit down
"Very well. Please cloak the bride and bring her under your protection." The Septon said and Naida turned around so he could do it swiftly. When she turned back around he looked at her with a soft smile. She return one as well. The both turned to look at the Septon and held hands
"In the sight of the Seven, i hereby seal this true souls binding them as one for eternity. Now can you please look upon each other and say the words." The Septon said and thy turned to look at each other.
"Father, Smith, Warrior, Mother, Maiden, Crown, Stranger. I am hers and she is mine. From this day until the end of my days." Robb said.
"Father, Smith, Warrior, Mother, Maiden, Crown, Stranger. I am his and he is mine. From this day until the end of my days." Naida said happy that her voice was loud and steady.
"You are now united together as man and wife. You my kiss the bride to seal the deal." The Septon said and Robb gave Naida and soft kiss on the lips before looking at the people that were gathered. They all clapped. He held Naida's hand in his and he could feel her tremble.
Naida was sitting and playing with the food on her plate. She ate a couple of pieced of meat but her throat was to tight to do so.
"Naida eat something or you will be hungry later." Catelyn said touching Naida's hand which was cold. Naida looked at her with a tight smile.
"I do not think i can My Lady. I am too nervous." Catelyn held her hand.
"Call me mother, you are married to my son we are family." Catelyn said Naida smiled at her.
"It would be a pleasure to call you mother My Lady." Naida said, her knee now began to bop up and down and she was playing with her fingers. Catelyn looked at the poor girl and remembered how scared she was on her wedding night but she remembers it with fondness.
"Naida, you must keep calm. It is new for the both of you and you are both very nervous." Catelyn said.
"Yes we may both be nervous but he will not have someone else enter your body." Naida said and Catelyn raised her brows at her boldness.
"If it is the pain that you are worried about then be sure it does not hurt that bad if he does it the right way dear." Catelyn said and put her hand on Naida's knee to stop it from moving.
"My Lady, I am not worried about the pain. I am used to it. I am worried because i have never been with a man before naked. What if my looks do not please him." Naida said and Catelyn chuckled.
"Child you do not have to worry about that. I am sure that my son will be mesmerised by you." She said and Naida looked at Catelyn and she let out some air. She needed to calm down before she passes out. Her father will not let leave before her husband bed her.
Lord Walder stood and clapped and the music stopped at once and everyone became quiet.
"Well it is time for the bedding ceremony." He shouted and men laughed and began saying obscenities as they took her in their arms high above ground, ripping her dress of her. The women were giggling as they took Robb's clothes off. Naida closed her eyes and tried to ignore the fact that strange men were taking off her clothes. She felt herself being in just a shift when her husband's voice rang out above all the noise.
"That is enough my Lord and Ladies. I want to take my wife to the chamber by myself." he said as the Ladies let him go and the Lord gave Robb Naida. He carried her to the bedchamber painfully aware that she was practically naked in his arms and that his member has grown painfully hard as he had seen the outline of her breast. Robb put her on the bed and closed the door behind him.
"Would you like some wine My Lady?" He said and poured some wine.
"Oh no thank you, wine does not agree very well with me and i already have had two goblets of it." Naida said glad that her voice was firm. He had clenched her hands on her lap and her whole posture was tense.
Robb took a swing from the wine. He was nervous as well. He needed the encouragement.
"It is very strange to be in a room with a man without my dress on." She pondered from the bed.
"I bet it must be. Are you nervous My Lady." Robb said looking at her.
"Do you think i would not be. I am doing this for the first time after all." Naida said looking and Robb.
"There is nothing to fear my Lady i promise i will not hurt you." Robb said with a firm tone.
"Not intentionally My Lord but do not worry. I am not afraid of the pain." Naida said with her fawn eyes bored at him and it made Robb feel strange inside. Those eyes had him mesmerised.
"Usually when i am about to try new thing i try and gather as much information as possible. In this case i new the basics but no depth." Naida said and Robb choked on the wine a little.
"Did you go around asking how it is to make love?" Robb asked surprised at his wives boldness. Naida's eyes went wide.
"By the Gods no. I have too much pride to do that. I have worked in the healing Wing nearly all my life My Lord. I have birthed so many children in this castle. I have prepared draughts for men who needed a little help in the bedroom. Then there was this book that my brother had and i found it most disturbing. People talk My Lord and when you put two and two together you get the gist of what is going to happen in this bed." Naida said and Robb looked at his wife in wonder. He will certainly will have a lot of thing to talk about with her. She looked at him before continuing.
" I guess it cannot be very different from what i have observed animals doing." She said and then a cure frown appeared above the bridge of her nose " It did not look pleasant especially the giant tortoises." Robb once again chocked on his wine.
"Giant tortoises?" He asked as he was gasping for air. His voice was higher than normal
"Oh yes i have seen them mating once when i visited my Aunt Muriel. I was about nine and when that happened and i was very frightened. I had though that they were dying as they made strange hoarse noises and there was the knocking sound as well." She shuddered at the memory. She looked at Robb who looked at with his mouth opened. They looked at each other before they both burst out laughing. Both were so nervous and that little story just made it vanish in thin air. Their laugher was dying off and Robb wiped his eyes from the tears that gathered there. He saw Naida on the laying on the bed and her breast popped out from the shift and his breath hitched. Naida opened her eyes to see her husband looking at her with such hunger in his eyes that it her long for him to touch her. She stood up from the bed and as she felt very brave and let her shift fall off. Robb looked at all of her body and marvelled at the beauty of his wife.
"Do i please you My Lord Husband." She said looking at him bravely and this made him want her more.
"It is Robb and you please me greatly." Robb said before going over to her and kissing her straight in the mouth. Naida stood on her tiptoes and tangled her fingers in his curls. They walked back until they hit the bed and fell onto it. Robb broke the kiss and Naida looked at him with her eyes wide.
"I believe husband that you are over dressed." She said and began undressing him as she pushed him on his back. He took off his top and kissed his chest making him moan a little. She looked at him and he took her by the neck and kissed her lip roughly. she was moaning a little when he pushed her back on the bed and touched her sex with her fingers. His Lord did not spare any information about how to please his wife and he was very glad for that. He had found that bud inside her and began to massage it. Naida broke the kiss to moan and lean her head back and arch her body to him. Robb looked mesmerised at his wife. She was just stunning. His mouth latched onto one of her nipples and began sucking on it. She was so wet now that he could push a digit inside of her making her moan louder. She looked at him with her grey eyes clouded with lust. She kissed him biting his lower lip a little making him growl.
Naida began something building inside of her something that will soon explode. Robb looked at his wife and he knew that she was very close to climaxing so he bit her earlobe lightly and she came with scream that pierced the air. She was holding onto him and her nails were making him bleed a little. Robb looked as his wife came down from her high. She smiled at him whispering her thanks.
Robb took his clothes off and kissed her as he entered her slowly. He was not going to last very long. The feeling of being around his tight hot wife was so good that he was going to finish quickly. Naida felt the pain but it was not as bad as the women were telling her. She as sore but she was not in pain. It did not take long for her husbands seed to fill her.
He laid in the bed next to her with a smile on his face.
"Well we have that over and done with." Naida said as she laid her head on the pillow.
"Yes we do. Now tell me more about the giant tortoises." Robb turned to face and and Naida laughed. This marriage was not that bad she though.
So what did you thing about the chapter? Was it good? Was the bedding ceremony good to read because i wanted it to be different from the rest where the bride is scared or in pain. I wanted them to be at ease with each other and i believed that it was a nice ice breaker heh. Well please leave a comment i like to know what you think.
