Chapter 13: Surprised
Naida was standing at the gates of Riverrun like she had done for the last three moons since her husband had left to take back the North from the Ironborn. In the last three moons she had barely any contact with her husband and it scared her. In the last moon no ravens came and Naida's heart ached more and more every day. She did consider no new a good sign as she would know immediately if her husband perished in the battle as he was the King in the North. Many people wanted him dead and they would have gloated if they had killed the young wolf.
Naida closed her eyes and took a deep breath. It was getting chilly now Winter was coming as the Starks like to say. She felt the chill in her body yet she could not move. She did not want to move. She wanted to be sure that Robb was not coming home today. She stood in front of the gates until the sun began to set.
She had put an hand on her growing belly and caressed it affectionally and looked at it.
"Maybe tomorrow your father will return to us my pup." She said. She was six moon along almost sevens and it was getting very near the day she was supposed to give birth and her husband was not here. Naida let out a lobe tear as she did every day and waddled back to the castle. She needed to go back to her duties as the Queen.
In the Great Hall she had found Catelyn who looked at her with pitiful eyes and she understood what it meant to be away from the man that you love for this amount of time and Naida was greatfull that she can confine in her and she will not be judged for it.
"Naida you are doing great. You are doing what every wife needs to be doing when her husband is at war. You are ruling in his stead and taking care of your people when he cannot do it." Catelyn said and covered Naida's hand with hers.
"I am so worried about him. I am worried he will miss my giving birth. He was so excited about being there." Naida said and Catelyn smiled knowingly.
"I know my child but he is not here and you need to consider that he will not be here. He was not there when i gave birth to Robb and he was not there when i gave birth to Arya. Both times he was at war. As women this is something we must endure and there is not stopping that." Naida nodded and looked at her sister Roslin who was standing by the window overlooking the river with crossed arms. She was also missing her husband Edmure who she grew very fond of. She had found out recently that she was with child but Edmure did not know this. Freya who has yet to marry Theon was in her chamber probably reading. She was not alone. They were all missing their men. When Naida was not busy worrying about her husband she was getting busy with preparing the people for the winter that soon will be upon them. She would also see how Catelyn thought Roslin how to be the Lady of Riverrun. Her sister was being her usual self and was just inhaling the knowledge. She ever though that she will be a lady of such a noble house and now she has a lot of catching up to do Catelyn was proud to call Roslin her sister and they got in like a house on fire. She could see Roslin respected Catelyn very much.
North
Robb had killed yet another Ironborn. He was all covered in blood. The Siege on the Neck of the North took two weeks. The lands were hard to fight on and the weather was getting colder and colder by the day. The Northerners were used to it and they knew the lands better but the Ironborn put up a good fight. It was not as easy as they thought it would. Ironmen were ruthless and all they waned was their opponent to pay the Iron price. They did not care how they just wanted to kill. They would lose the battle if not for the crannogmen. They came in just the right time or they would lose the battle.
Torrhen square was easier to take. The place was smaller and there were less Ironborns. They had lost to many people in the first battle Rob was loosing too many people for his liking. He had only 5,000 men when he was going on Moat Cailin. He was outnumbered. There were 3 Ironmen for one of his men. They were losing this battle, here was no way they would get out of this battle alive. He knew this was happen but he needed to fight. He did not want to go back to Riverrun with a tail behind his legs. He could not do that. He was going to get the North back or die trying and that was what they were doing now. There was a handful of them left now and Robb was severely injured. His leg had a gash and he was bleeding from his head and torso. He was loosing consciousness but if he will die he will take as many of those bastard with him. He was not going to go out without a fight.
Rob took a deep breath and though of his wife and he beautiful grey eyes that he will never see again. He though of those beautiful lips that will not smile at him again. He though about her moans and that he will never hear them again. He will never hear her laugh of her threats. She will never whisper that she loves him. He will never meet his child. That was his biggest regret. That he will never see what they have made together. Robb let a lone tear fall from his eyes. He was falling. He could feel it as his vision blacken in front of him. He was going to die. All he heard before unconsciousness took him was the sound of approaching horses and the clinging of swords.
When Robb regain his conciousness he saw the ceiling of his tent and he felt someone patching up his leg. He was confused. How did they win this battle? How was he still alive and not dead. He was supposed to be dead. He had said goodbye to his life and the people he loved. He laid there and though how could this be.
"It is good that you are awake Your Grace." He heard a familiar female voice and Lady Talisa was above him with a smile in her face.
"How i am alive?" He asked but it came out raspy and in a whisper.
"You should not talk yet your Grace you have been asleep the whole day." Lady Talisa said and helped him drink some water which was a godsend for his throat.
"Tell me what happened of the battle, how are my men and how am i alive?" Robb asked Lady Talisa and she looked confused.
"Really your Grace I am not the right person to ask. I only try and help people when they are injured." She said and looked to her right a man entered the tent. Robb wanted to grab his sword to protect himself but it was not near him.
"Please your Grace do not strain yourself." The man said. He was a handsome man about Robb age. He had brown hair and golden eyes.
"Who are you and what do you want of me?" Robb demanded. He was weak but was trying to sound stonger than he really is. The man chuckled.
"Your Grace we are to be brothers by law. I am Loras of house Tyrell and we came to help our King." The man said and Robb laid back on the bed and closed his eyes. He was thanking the Gods that the Tyrells have accepted his marriage proposal. They had men and they had ship and he needed them greatly if he wanted to win this war.
"How bad were my losses?" Robb asked and the mans look was bleak.
"I am not going to lie to you your Grace. If we had not come when we did you would have perished. Your men were almost lost only about a 1,000 left." Robb was devastated by the loss. He had lost so many people. So many people in the North were without their families and it was all his fault.
"Your Grace it is the laws of life and war. All men must die and they died with great honour. They died trying to get their freedom back." Loras said and Robb looked at him.
"Thank you so much My Lord for coming when you did. You save my people's life and my own. How can i repay you for that." Robb said.
"There is not need for that Your Grace. As i said before you are our King and we will gladly serve you." Loras said and Robb gave him a thankful smile.
"It means a lot to me that your house has accepted my marriage proposal." Robb said and Loras smiled.
"My grandmother was not going to wed her only granddaughter to a Lannister. All they want is to use us for our resources. I know that you need men and our ships but you did not need our money like they did. Your were the logical choice. My house want you to win." Loras said and Robb looked at him.
"I still thank you my Lord." Robb said and Loras chuckled.
"Loras, please call me Loras, we are to be brother soon wont we." Loras said and Robb nodded. Finally thing were going by his mind.
Riverrun
"I want the wedding to be lavish, i am wedding my only granddaughter. This place is very nice and will have to do for a wedding." Olenna said as they looked around the castle. Catelyn was fallowing her with a tight smile on her face. The old woman was a nag.
"We will need more flowers, we can get them delivered from Highgarden. Who will be paying for the festivities. I know that we are at war and we want to help in anyway that we can." Olenna said but Naida piped up.
"You are already helping us very much. Do not worry about the cost My Lady. We will pay for everything." Naida said trying to keep up with the three women who were going around the castle.
"Very well, that is one thing we do not have to worry about." Olenna said and moved on to speak more about what they should do for the wedding. Naida was tired, she was not as mobile as she was before. Margery looked at her and smiled.
"It is silly is it not. Fretting about festivities when the men are at war." She said with a beautiful smile on her face.
"It keeps us from thinking too much about what the men are doing right now." Naida said with a heavy voice. She was too tired.
"How does it feel, having a life inside of you. It must feel strange." Margery asked looking at Naida's stomach.
"I am not going to lie to you that it dies feel strange and it s very tiring but there is no more joyous experience in your life. You are making a little person inside of you. I cannot wait to meet her or him. You will see soon for yourself when you will be with child." Naida said with a big smile.
"Yes you are right i will be with child when i will wed my intended but i am to wed him yet i do not even know what he looks like. What sort of a person he is?" Margery asked and Naida smiled. She knew that pain.
"I know what you mean. My father sold me off like cattle. I was told i was to wed i met Robb the next day and the day after we were wed. I had no idea what sort of a person he was. It scared me but now i am very happy. Jon is very quiet and keeps to himself most of the times. He is also very reserved but he is very kind and honourable. He will never hurt you My lady that i know." Naida said and Margery nodded.
"I know that he is far better than Jeoffrey, they wanted me to wed him as well. I am glad that grandmother chose Jon Stark as my intended." Margery said and Naida smiled.
"You will not be sorry that I know Margery." Naida said and looked at Olenna and Catelyn who were talking. Catelyn was trying to be polite but she hated that fact that she had to plan a wedding for her husbands bastard. She still could not stand him and was only doing it for her sons sake.
Margery looked at the both woman and then looked at Naida with a smile and whispered.
"Maybe we should go and rescue your mother from my grandmother." Naida chuckled.
"Catelyn is not in need of helping. She can handle herself very well trust me." Both woman chuckled but joined the two older women and prepared for a wedding. It will be a truly beautiful wedding.
The North
Robb laid in bed when Jon came into his tent. He was limping but other than that he seemed to be all right.
"How are you feeling Robb?" Jon asked Robb who's vision was blurry.
"The milk of poppy is making me feel kind of woozy." his speech was slurred and Jon chuckled.
"You took a big hit on that leg brother take it easy for a few days." Jon said and Robb tried to find him with his eyes but he saw three Jons in front of him.
"I cannot rest. We need to march to the Iron Island and kill that fucker Balon." Robb said trying to get up but he got dizzy and fell back on the bed.
"Robb you need to take it easy. You need to heal. We will go and we will kill all of them. I promise you but now you need to sleep" Jon said but Robb was already falling back into unconsciousness.
When he woken back up he felt soft hands on his chest and a soft sweet voice calling to him. He opened his eyes to see Lady Talisa in front of him. Her eyes were burning with lust and need and her lips were parted and breathing heavily. Robb felt like he was hypnotised by her. He had no choice. He took her by the neck and kissed her lips roughly. She responded to him immediately and was on top of him. His member hardened and he needed to be inside of her. He needed to feel her body against his. He pushed her back on the bed and hovered above her. He broke the kiss and looked at her with lust clouded eyes. he ripped her dress of her and was inside of her with one swift movement and she cried out in pleasure and pain. Robb was not gentle with her at all. He was rough and almost brutal. He loved the fact that he was crying out under him and raking her nails in his back so hard that he bled. Robb was so close to his release. He was so close but he felt the urge to bite her. He needed to bite her and so he sank his teeth in her neck and she cried out.
