Hey yo what's up and hello there guys I'm back and the third chapter of the "Red Rose of Winterfell" is here and thanks for the first reviews and great support for the crossover story between Game of Thrones and RWBY. :DLooks like Game of Thrones Season 6 and RWBY Volume 3 are coming soon and I can't wait! XD
Disclaimer: I own nothing of Game of Thrones and RWBY as the two franchises respectively belong to George R.R. Martin and HBO, the late Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth.
Enjoy and don't forget to review. :)
For over the following several months or, everybody, ranging from the smallfolk and the household, in Winterfell has been preparing and organizing for the royal visit by King Robert Baratheon and his royal family along with half of the court from King's Landing he brought along in the long trip to the North and things have gotten smoothly well around without much difficulty here thanks to Ruby's... certain improvements in the great castle of the Starks as she had introduced some modern methods from Remnant that had made the lives of the people in the North a little much better in the cold harsh environment especially in the coming winter.
Receiving more news by raven that two small separate parties of the Arynns and the Tyrells are visiting Winterfell as well with the former paying respects to the Starks and share grief in death of the late Lord Jon Arynn due to their marriage ties and the latter probably wanting to meet the enigmatic legendary Red Rose herself since the rose is the sigil of their house in The Reach but the royal party comes firsthand before welcoming the groups afterward in their arrival.
Aside from other improvements for Winterfell and the North, Ruby Rose was also the one who largely helped revitalize and restrengthen the Night's Watch that has been slowly declining for the passing 14-15 years during the reign of King Robert Baratheon. An ancient military organization which holds and guards the Wall, the immense ice structure which separates the northern border of the Seven Kingdoms from the lands beyond and protecting the realm from the threat of White Walkers.
Spending some time reading the history of Westeros in Winterfell's library provided by Maester Luwin, a nice man she got easily got along with, Ruby came to learn of the White Walkers that once invaded this land during the Long Night before being driven back by the combined forces of the First Men and the Children of the Forest in the War for the Dawn and the Wall was built by the ancestor of House Stark, Brandon the Builder with the aid of magic and giants and the Night's Watch was formed to defend the realm if the White Walkers ever returned.
She knew that the Wall was built for a reason if it is meant to keep the White Walkers out, not the free folk who are simply on the wrong side of the Seven Kingdoms and wanted to get away from the beings of cold and death. Having lived in Remnant filled with hordes of Grimm where every man, woman and child had to pick up a weapon and defend their homes and lands from their incursions and attacks whenever the Grimm appear, she understood it quite well.
That is where she took action firsthand and with a little persuasion and convincing to Ned Stark of her somewhat noble intentions in supporting her that Lady Catelyn thought her to be mad for Sevens' sake, although not as mad as the late Mad King, Ruby managed to pull it off and succeeded with a string of good results that greatly benefited the Night's Watch as it was restored to its former glory to a certain extent but still enough to pull the Watch from its shadows.
Despite the declining manpower and resources of the Night's Watch, the Huntress turned to be resourceful with the support from the Starks and employed training methods of Beacon Academy that helped shaped the new recruits who are mostly composed of untrained boys, bastards, criminals, murderers, rapers, and thieves into a credible fighting force among the current 1,000 strong men of the Night's Watch.
She also unlocked the Auras of the members of the Watch, granting them the use of Semblances that are essential in defending the realm from the White Walkers as they are in a great disadvantage without these abilities the Huntsmen and Huntresses back in Remnant possesses if they, at any chance, come to conflicts with the ancient race of cold and skills of the sword alone won't be enough. In reaction to this when theirs were unlocked, the men called it magic that was long thought dead from the world as dragons supposedly linked with magic gone extinct much to her chagrin.
Fully aware that the Citadel scoffs at the existence of magic and the Faith of the Seven deemed it a demonic practice and witchcraft, Ruby preferred to have Aura and Semblance to be exclusive only for the Night's Watch, by advise of Maester Aemon, a blind old man who can see clear as day even without the aid of his Aura unlocked that she finds it badass in their first meeting, only as it is completely politically neutral from the affairs of kings and men, and since guns were invented in several attempts already albeit in primitive stages thanks to her use of Crescent Rose that inspired them to create them in the first place and there is no way in hell that she is going let Aura and Semblance be into the mix of wars and politics for Monty Oum's sake!
Normally anyone who wanted to desert the Night's Watch would have took the chance to escape or mutinied with such new magical ability they obtained from Ruby unlocking them only to be put on very tight leash as the death by execution of the sword is still in effect since the last one who tried to wasn't so lucky and the Old Bear's Aura was so strong and dominant that had kept them all in place. To add insult to injury, they don't even know how their Auras work or use it at will after it was unlocked since they're a bunch of novices and noobs.
This had effectively stopped them all from doing any of their ridiculously stupid ideas of deserting or even mutiny or heads will roll either by Lord Stark's Ice or Ruby's Crescent Rose if they do so.
She also introduced a new order among the preexisting three orders (the Rangers, the Stewards and the Builders) in the Night's Watch: Hunters who are elite warriors dedicated to battle and slay the White Walkers and whose duty is to scout their movements and prevent their impeding attacks against the Wall by preemptively striking at them and are divided in a team of four members in a similar to their counterparts in Remnant when dealing with the Grimm and the teams formed at Beacon Academy.
In order to add the major changes in helping the Night's Watch, Ruby had managed to convince Lord Commander Jeor Mormont, a former Lord of Bear Island and father of Jorah Mormont, who had recently went missing with his wife during an unspecified trip in the Free Cities at that time, to..., um, bend the ancient traditions by adding women into the organization since almost every woman wanted to pick up a weapon and fight alongside men in the armies of the Seven Kingdoms instead of 'doing what women are supposed to stay and do at home' shit.
A small number of several hundred voluntary women warriors, knights and fighters joined the Night's Watch chosen by the Red Reaper particularly because of the song of "Brave Danny Flint" who was the only known female member of the Watch regardless of its sad story behind it. Normally, any brother of the Night's Watch would have their way with women if they lay their eyes on them due to their extent criminal background but thanks to a somewhat strong discipline and self-restraint imposed on them while under the Red Reaper's reforms during her long-term stay at the Wall, they welcomed them as the sisters of the Night's Watch.
They also repaired and re-manned the several castles for the steadily growing numbers of the Watch composed mostly from the misfits, criminals and outcasts, etc., etc. of the society where they will be molded into true guardians of the realm with efficient training and resourceful methods to keep the military organization up and running despite whatever limited support and resources from the south.
And also, she led a personal investigation of the White Walkers on her own in the lands Beyond the Wall with Benjen Stark and a group of several Rangers where she encountered the free folk clans and giants with their mammoths led by Mance Rayder, the former member of the Night's Watch and the King-Beyond-the-Wall who recognized her as the infamous Red Reaper during his time at the Wall.
Not only that, the red hooded Huntress had encountered a group of several White Walkers accompanied by a large number of wights who appeared to have pursuing the wildlings and been drawn to her due to her powerful Aura emitted while pursuing the free folk in making their corpses a part of their army and then fought them in a similar nostalgic event of massacring the entire group of Beowolves all by herself as a young girl in the middle of the full moon, albeit some difficulty due to the powers of ice and death they possess. That is where she discovered that Valyrian steel when she used Winter's Howl against a White Walker warrior when her Crescent Rose is temporarily out of commission due to the cold and picked up a sword from a deceased wight coated with her Aura that stood well against their attacks before slaying them with ease.
With a weapon empowered by Aura or made of Valyrian steel, it didn't shatter into a million pieces from the cold breaking properties of the White Walkers' weapons once made contact with them in battle. Since Valyrian steel is exceptionally very rare in Westeros, Aura-empowered weapons will just do for the Night's Watch in defense of the realm.
After repelling the White Walker attack with several discarded ice blades and severed heads and limbs of the ice beings as proof in her personal investigation, she brokered negotiations between the free folk and the black brothers in formally ending their conflict albeit in a begrudging manner since their mutual enemies are out there to kill them all regardless of who they are and allowed thousands of their people including the few hundred giants and mammoths safe passage through the Wall to be settled in the Gift, a land that was barely occupied by any smallfolk population due to their raids and incursions in the past by permission and supervision of the Lord Commander Jeor and Lord Stark.
Although this upsets the Northern lords about this recent development when news of wildlings settling in the Gift by the thousands reached the North where they travel to Winterfell to issue a complaint to their liege lord and reminding Lord Stark of the long history of hatred between the free folk and the northmen that they have no place in one of the largest of the Seven Kingdoms. However, the honorable Ned Stark made a compromising agreement between both sides with Mance Rayder who is the only one who kept the wildling clans united together and was later officially pardoned for deserting the Night's Watch as such an only rare event happened, that the free folk will be granted the Gift to settle in, considering that he recognized their political structure to be somewhat similar to the northern mountain clans, so long as they keep the king's peace and behave themselves in a civilized manner if they wanted a place in the North under House Stark without even bending the knee as the free folk scorned such practice. The Northern lords were a bit not pleased to have wildlings as their neighbors but if it's the word from the Warden of the North, then they will have to comply. Plus, Ruby had stated the free folk clans are under her protection too or she will inflict punishment if anyone would dare make trouble, one way or another.
Now on the other side of the Wall at long last, the free folks were grateful of this and they owed the Huntress their lives for convincing the "southerners" in getting through the Wall to get away from the White Walkers and their wight hordes with Mance, Tormund Giantsbane, the jolly but fierce warrior and Karsi, who has her two daughters, thanked her including the Giants led by their king Mag Mar Tun Doh Weg or rather Mag the Mighty in their simplified Old Tongue as well but there were some others who are bunch of ungrateful thick headed dense bastards and viewed the woman with suspicion and contempt such as the Thenns but they were overruled by the majority the moment Ruby decapitated Rattleshirt who calls himself the Lord of Bones and openly challenged her with insults which she immediately sliced his head off with Crescent Rose's scythe form before he even attacked.
The changes in the Night's Watch were acceptable by many slowly as it needs a refreshing start but unfortunately some bitter and stubborn old men refused to accept them notably as Ser Alliser Thorne, the master-at-arms of Castle Black and a knight loyal to the currently-deposed House Targaryen who chose the Wall rather than death by Tywin Lannister in the aftermath of the Sack of King's Landing, as he boldly confronted the Huntress of her 'interference' in the affairs of the Night's Watch as he threatened her in his own gruff way, referring to stab her in the back either by his group of those opposing her reforms at any certain event and then insulted her simply because she's a woman, unaware that he's dealing with the Red Rose herself.
And the rose has revealed her thorns the moment the bitter man will soon regret provoking the likes of her off.
In response to the man's insults and threats towards her, Ruby did one thing that would make Nora Valkyrie proud if she had saw that: by breaking Ser Alliser's legs, publicly humiliating him in front of all of his black brothers and sisters who hated him mostly because of his harsh training methods and constant insulting towards them as new recruits at the time and rooted for the Huntress standing over the spiteful man crying in agony of his severely broken legs that would have left him a cripple for life had not for Maester Aemon's efforts in treating them.
Because of that certain incident due to the certain master-at-arms' idiotic foolishness for standing against the Red Reaper, any man who would dare oppose the changes and reforms on the Night's Watch had quickly backed down in fear that she may break their legs in a painful manner just as she did to Ser Alliser's if they don't want to tempt fate.
Either you're with her or against her.
Aside from improving the Night's Watch which turned out very successful, Ruby spends her time helped trained the fresh recruits into elite fighting men in the Stark army and honing the skills of the young lords and ladies of the Seven Kingdoms who wished to learn from her, particularly Robb, Jon, Theon and secretly Sansa and Arya much to their mother's chagrin with a bonus of unlocking their Auras in training methods in the Beacon Academy she copies whenever she comes around.
Heck, she even helped a fat obese boy who was the eldest son of Randyll Tarly in molding him to become an exceptional skilled warrior by the hardened lord of Horn Hill's request despite the man's very strong disbelief about women fighting in the battlefield of men that she find him one real pain in the ass comparing him to General James Ironwood who looked down on the academy students' capabilities in Remnant despite their growing potential while allowing the boy to retain his love for books and knowledge during training.
That is all what Ruby did during time in Westeros for the passing 14-15 years since she came here thanks to that damned portal-spamming Nevermore other than spending good times with the Stark family and adventuring in her free time.
After all preparations were now complete and everything is set, the Stark family were just emerging out into the courtyard now, and most everyone else was already ready and waiting except for the growing direwolves who are in the kennels for now. Lord Eddard fell in line front and center, next to his beloved wife, Lady Catelyn. Ruby, who was never really a person who enjoyed the spotlight and a socially awkward person, would have normally just went into the crowd behind Lord Stark's family; but the latter had requested he at least stand next to his brother, Benjen, who came to Winterfell, representing the Night's Watch as he was among the first to accept Ruby's major changes there and stood at the end next to young Bran, as she was considered someone of her reputation of the Red Rose/Reaper. Jon Snow and Theon Greyjoy are at the back, considering that the former is the bastard of the honorable Ned Stark who is actually the son of Rhaegar and Lyanna that his secret was known only to a certain few and the latter is the ward of the Starks raised and treated like family under their roof but for the sake of presenting themselves well before the royal family, they have to be where they are now as to not offend them. The Northern lords were gathered on either flanks of the Stark family. Bonnie and Clyde, both Hunters in the Night's Watch and accompanied First Ranger Benjen, were standing behind them in the contingent of the Starks' household servants, standing next to Jon Snow.
"...Where's Arya?", Lady Catelyn said as she glanced around for her youngest daughter who went missing before asking. "Sansa, where's your sister?" The elder of Stark's daughters merely shrugged, fully aware that Arya is on adventure again. Ruby had noticed her absence as well, but he figured the girl wasn't far. Indeed, not a minute later, the Huntress saw a small figure wearing a helmet running up past them.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Lord Stark stopped the girl, removing the helmet on her head. "What're doing with that on?"
The Red Reaper watched Benjen, Robb, Theon, and Jon all grin at the girl, and she had to admit, to herself at least, that she had to suppress the chuckle from her mouth as well. She didn't really know when she had come to the comparison, but Arya's defiantly tomboyish nature and adventurous tendencies seemed to remind her of herself and Yang back in Remnant during their adventures together.
With a groan, Arya did as she was told and got in line next to her brother Bran, whom she pushed out to the side to fit in line with the rest of her family but smiled when Ruby winked her right eye at her.
Not a few moments later, the entourage began filing into the courtyard.
The first one to canter his horse in was a man wearing the gold-plated armor of the Kingsguard, riding an almost archetypal white destrier. The armor itself was heavily gilded, as was the sword at his side, that it was nevertheless finely crafted, with gold scales protecting the neck, shoulders, and thighs. The rider after him was a young, blonde-haired boy riding a brown stallion. From the boy's features, the ridiculously huge satin cloak of crimson fur he wore, and the absolutely, condescendingly smug look on his face, that would have to be Crown Prince Joffrey; a boy and son of her friend Robert which Ruby had heard of him at some period of time, but none of it good, and looked like a spoiled rich brat that would make Weiss Schnee look like a humble person. Evidently, Robb had come to the same conclusion as well as he watched the blonde little brat staring at Sansa, who felt creeped out a bit when she saw him, like a piece of meat.
Behind the boy was a massive man layered in dark armor, atop a huge black charger. He had a massive sword poking out from over his shoulder, and wore a helmet fashioned in the likeness of a snarling hound. When he lifted up his visor, Ruby Rose identified him as Sandor Clegane, the prince's bodyguard in passing, being the younger brother to Gregor Clegane who is better known as the Mountain, a monstrous brute of a person who had brutally killed Princess Elia Martell and her two children during the Sack of King's Landing. Being called the Hound for his house's sigil and his steadfast watch over the prince, Ruby saw the horribly burnt right side of his face and felt pity for the man because of the stories she heard tell of Gregor burning his face over a trivial slight. Beside him is his sister, Eleanor Clegane clad in a lightweight grey armor fitting for her slender figure along with a greathelm that shows a ponytail of her long hair at the back, riding on her horse and had dual swords at her sides.
Following these three men was a massive horse-driven carriage, with two red-robed men at the driver's seat. Filing behind them was a contingent of guards and knights composed men and women, thanks to the inspiration by Ruby and servants, and then another knight of the Kingsguard… and then came King Robert Baratheon himself.
Once a musclebound idiot of a man she had met nine years ago since finding herself in Westeros, the king now was an obese, unhealthy looking man who had a flushed look on his face, a likely indication of copious alcohol consumption or exertion. His beard was long and frayed with black hair turning gray, and seemed to hide at least one double chin. Two servants came beside his great horse, carrying a wooden step-ladder that he used it to dismounting.
Wow, he really lets himself go, huh?, she thought deadpanned inwardly.
When the king strode forward, all present in the courtyard knelt before him, including the Stark family. Given the feudal society they lived in, it was expected of them as they owed their allegiance and loyalty to the king.
But not Ruby Rose as she stayed where she stand that would make the free folk feel proud.
This land wasn't hers as Ned Stark and Jon Arynn had told her since she came to this world that she was not subject to the laws of Westeros and while she had respect for obeying the laws of any land during her travels, Ruby was not going to compromise and kneel for Robert despite being good friends. Doing so would give the lords of Westeros an impression that she would obey the laws of a feudal society so backwards compared to hers back home.
If she were given a ladyship with lands and titles due to her participation in Robert's Rebellion and would be expected to pledge fealty to the Iron Throne as well as being asked in hand of marriage by any man of prominent noble families in the Seven Kingdom, that would cement it even more which Ruby politely rejected it. She enjoyed her freedom as a Huntress and will not let anyone take it from her.
And in Remnant, men and women did not kneel. Monty Oum, even the Faunus never bent the knee too as well.
But despite this, Ruby felt it necessary to respect Robert for old times' sake and so, as everyone else knelt, the red hooded Huntress stood and made a brief humble bow in respect. Everyone else seemed strangely dumbstruck by the gesture as they weren't expecting the legendary Red Rose to kneel along with everyone else, did they? Robert seemed to note this from his only female friend, but he only spared a moment, before standing in front of Lord Eddard, and silently ushering him and all else to rise.
"Your Grace...", Stark said quietly, and the three old friends alongside everyone else were quiet, waiting for the king to speak.
"...You got fat.", King Robert uttered, seemingly in disapproval at Ned much to the surprise and awkward silence of everyone.
In a sweat-dropped look, Ruby gave a 'Seriously?' look as she noted that the little hypocrisy involved here the moment the Baratheon king said that. As though thinking the same thing, Eddard made a short glance down to Robert's stomach.
Then, after another moment of silence, the king started to chortle at Ned, which caused the two of them to both start chuckling, before embracing.
Releasing his hold on Lord Eddard, Robert then turned to Lady Catelyn, smiled as he embraced her. He then patted little Rickon's head, the boy standing next to his mother. Then, Robert turned back to Ned. "Nine years. Why haven't I seen you? Seven hells, where have you been?"
"Guarding the North for you, Your Grace. Winterfell is yours.", Eddard smiled.
Coming out of the carriage was a woman wearing rich red robes trimmed in gold, with a large pelt of fox fur slung about her back. Judging from her looks and her robes, Ruby figured that would be the Queen Cersei Lannister whose cold, scornful look she gave practically everything which would make Weiss Schnee run for her money. Behind her came two small children, also golden of hair and green eyes. The younger two of the royal siblings, Princess Myrcella and Prince Tommen. Myrcella had a curiosity in her eyes as she shifted her eyes around Winterfell and then to Ruby, and the Red Rose didn't see scorn in her eyes like her mother. Tommen seemed far more shy, and when the boy's gaze fell on her, he shied behind his sister.
"Where's the Imp?" Arya whispered to her older sister, who only whispered at her to shut up.
Robert turned his attention to the rest of the Stark children, pacing to Robb first. "What have we here? You must be Robb.", he said, smiling as he shook the young man's hand. Sansa blushed as he called her 'a pretty one', before looking hard at Arya for some reason, probably because she somewhat resembled her late aunt Lyanna in looks and personality. "And your name is?"
"Arya.", the youngest Stark girl replied after some hesitation.
His attention now on Bran, the king seemed amused. "Ooh. Show us your muscles." The boy stuck out one of his arms, flexing it as best he could. The king laughed in approval, "You'll be a soldier." An aghast Arya had the look that says: "How can Bran be a soldier if he can't even shoot a damn arrow!?" after Robert remarked her younger brother.
He then looked to see Benjen Stark beside the boy, and barked heartily as he embraced Ned's younger brother. "Benjen, you little weed! Seven hells, did you get big at the Wall!"
"It has that effect. It's been a very long time, Your Grace.", Benjen said with a grin.
Queen Cersei came forward then, approaching Lord Eddard, before offering her hand to him. Ned Stark kissed it before uttering, "My Queen..." Followed by his wife doing likewise in a respectful manner.
Noticing another member of the Kingsguard dismounting from his horse, Arya recognized Jaime Lannister when she saw him removing his helm and told Sansa about it, prompting the former to be quiet. The Kingslayer glanced at Ruby Rose briefly, noted that apparently the Huntress was the only one who didn't condemn him for killing the Mad King that saved countless of lives from his madness unlike the honorable Ned Stark.
"By Monty Oum, Robert! You got really huge!...", Ruby exclaimed at the moment he turned his attention to her in an over-exaggerated manner that caught everyone by surprise of the Red Rose's straightforward manner towards the king before them that most other people, notably Lady Catelyn and Septa Mordane deemed it disrespectful and rude.
Then the Baratheon king then bellowed loudly in a feigned offended face in response towards the Huntress' comment about his current weight. "Huge? Huge?! Is that how you speak to your king?!"
Then after a few moments of tensed and awkward situation between the Stag and the Red Rose which left everyone quite nervous about this, the two laughed heartily and gave a sibling-like hug in the same manner with Eddard Stark but Ruby whispered something to Robert's ear that some have managed to hear and clearly knew what it meant.
"Don't even think about it...", she said in a low but threatening tone in a fair warning since she's fully aware of the fat man's... hobbies after he once tried to go with her and the Huntress gave him the most painful experience in between his legs with her metal hand nine years ago.
Heeding Ruby's words almost immediately, Robert heartily laughs it off yet with signs of being scared that her threat is real if he pushed too far and lets go of her without incident. "Great to see you again Ruby."
"You too as well big guy. Looks like time changes everyone. Hehehe.", she said with a smirk before bowing in respect to Queen Cersei and her children in oppose to kneeling before them.
Others witnessing this were surprised on how in the light of the old gods and the new did the red hooded Huntress made friends with the man who is famously known as the 'demon of the Trident' and his drinking, hunting and whoring.
"Take me to crypts. I want to pay my respects.", Robert said to his old friend, expressing his intention to visit Lyanna's grave right after he arrived in Winterfell.
"We've been riding for a month my love. Surely the dead can wait.", Cersei protested.
But when Robert intended to ignore his wife's complaints and get on his way with Ned, Ruby placed her metal hand on his shoulder and gave a little tight squeeze. "I think you should listen to your wife, Robert. You and your people have been riding far up north to get here in Winterfell. They deserve some little R & R from your trip, even you as well. There's always time to pay respects to her, you know. Just like the queen said, the dead can wait.", she said.
The king reluctantly complied Ruby's... persuasion and left with Ned to the solar of Winterfell, presumably have a drink and then visit Lyanna's grave later on as everyone from the royal party begin unloading and settling down with Lady Catelyn directing efforts with the household servants in assisting them after a month-long trip in the North.
Joffrey held a hint of contempt towards the scythe-wielding red hooded Huntress with an eye-patch in witnessing that his father getting along well with Ruby and actually listened to her somewhat, wondering in his mind why out of all women Robert can fuck to his heart's content, this one is a very rare exception after hearing stories about her, before he and his siblings Myrcella and Tommen were escorted to their chambers prepared for them.
Queen Cersei, on the other hand, was torn in whether to be grateful or upset of Ruby to have managed to convince the fat oaf of a husband into listening to her instead of being ignored outright since their arrival in Winterfell. But then again, the daughter of the mighty Tywin Lannister had heard tales that the Huntress was the only woman Robert never touched at all but didn't believe them until now considering what she saw lately.
Inwardly, she wanted to meet the legendary red hooded Huntress in person when Robert decided to visit Winterfell with half the court in King's Landing. When Cersei heard of her growing reputation as an inspiration among women, she wanted to pick up a sword and learn how to fight just like her twin brother Jaime who was reputed as the best swordsman in Westeros but sadly due to her father's conservative ideals and traditions, the Lannister woman was never given a chance yet learned a few basics from Jaime.
"Where's the Imp?", Arya asked once more much to a bit of annoyance from Sansa, prompting Cersei to approach her twin brother and tell him to find their little brother who appeared to be missing among the royal party that was already noticed by the youngest daughter of Ned Stark.
Overhearing this before following Ned and Robert, Ruby heard about the Imp and his infamous reputation, mostly good and mostly bad about him since he's a dwarf with a big brain and full of wits in House Lannister but she will have to see it for herself once she meets with the youngest son of Tywin Lannister if by chance.
Now that King Robert and his royal party had arrived in Winterfell in a month-long trip through The Neck and settled in the great ancient castle depending how long will they stay there if their king wishes it to be as long as he likes, now the Starks will have to wait for the impeding arrival of the two separate parties of Arynns and Tyrells coming soon in the North...
Author's Note: Looks like the third chapter of the "Red Rose of Winterfell" is done and the next update will be coming soon when I have the time. Don't worry, there were some major changes in Westeros when Ruby was around during the past nine years and it is here. I hope you liked the changes in the Night's Watch since it really needs improvement.
If you guys have ideas, suggestions and opinions within your awesome mind, I'm all ears here anytime.
Anyways have fun reading and don't forget to review! No flames! :D
