I own nothing
A moment later, Brynden "Blackfish" reached her. Raenera had tears rolling down her face. Her eyes met Jaime's eyes. There was look of shock and deep gratitude. Her hands traveled to her stomach that house the heir to all the seven kingdoms. Jaime pulled his sword out of Roose's back then proceeded to sever his head from his body. Brynden came over her taking her in his arms. She turned throwing up her nooning meal.
"Are you alright my queen?" Brynden asked.
"Yes, I'm fine. Thanks to Ser Jaime" Rae stated after she stood up. She was still shaking in shock.
"What do you want to be done to his body? His head will place a spike for trying to kill you" Brynden asked.
"No, place it on a spike for treason and any that question it suffer the same fate. As for his body do with it what you like." Raenera ordered. She turned to Jaime. Jaime came forward kneeling before her. The bloody sword placed before him his hands on the handle of his sword. His head was bowed. "Ser Jaime, thank you, I owe you my life. Go remove the blood from your hands." Raenera stated her voice going back shaking
"My queen?" Ser Jaime started.
"Go, " Raenera said.
Brynden and Raenera stared at each other as Jaime left the scene. Her eyes still had tears falling from them. She stuck out her one hand it was trembling something fierce. Brynden noted her one hand was still rested almost protectively over her belly. He looked at her face meet her eyes. He noticed a slight cut on her throat it was not bleeding badly. Soldiers came onto the scene.
"See that his body is drawn and quartered then thrown into the river. I will see her grace back to her chambers. She had quite a fright. Send for the Maester." Brynden ordered.
Brynden led her away from the scene. She clutched his arm as they walked away. She was swaying in shock. She knew he wanted to kill Robb she never dreamed he would try to kill her in that instant or she would not have done it alone. From now on she would not be without at least two guards that she trusted more than most. One without question was Jaime Lannister. He had more than earned what she was about to do for him.
Robb and Catelyn walked into the dungeon of Riverrun. Lord Edmure was not far behind them. He was with Smalljon serving as Robb's guard. When they noticed men getting chains causing them stop in their tracks. Robb turned heading into the courtyard. He saw a head of Roose Bolton on a spike. His body was in courtyard. His innards were removed being thrown into a fire near the body. His arms and legs were attached to chains held by four riders. Catelyn and Edmure came out at the moment they all four started to ride forward, quartering the body. Catelyn face with ashen. Edmure had to keep his arm around to keep her from fainting.
"What in the Seven Hells is going on?" Robb roared
"Roose Bolton was guilty of high treason. His head was removed by Ser Jaime." a soldier replied.
"At whose orders?"Robb asked.
"Her grace, I believe it was after he tried to kill her." another soldier replied.
Catelyn eyes went wide when the soldier said he tried to kill her. Robb quickly turned running inside the castle. He headed toward his chamber.
Brynden stood next to her in her and Robb's chamber. He had not left her side since then. It was only a matter of time before Robb came to see what all the commotion was about. Raenera headed over to table starting to something that Robb would not understand. But he earned it. Brynden tried to keep her in the bed for the Maester which no doubt would be here any moment.
"Brynden for a pardon I have to sign all my names?" Raenera asked.
"Yes, my queen" Brynden stated unsure why she was asking.
"Alright," Raenera said turning to look at him for a moment.
Raenera took a piece of parchment she dipped a quill into a black ink well. She took a deep breath trying to still her shaking. She placed the quill into the parchment starting to write
I, Queen Raenera of houses Stark and Targaryen, first of her name, Queen in the North, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lady Regnant of the Seven Kingdoms; Protector of the realm. Hear by pardon Ser Jaime of House Lannister from all crimes he has committed against the crown. Including, the murder of ,my father, King Aerys II, the attempted murder of Prince Brandon Stark, and the attack in the streets of Kings Landing of Lord Eddard Stark.
Queen Raenera Stark, first of her name, Queen in the North, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lady Regnant of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the realm.
Raenera finished placing the quill down. She took the parchment reading the letter. She blew on the ink letting it dry. She set it down. She went to reach for the wax to press her seal to making it official. Robb came storming into the room. Brynden drew his sword for a moment. At the same time Raenera turned looking a tiny bit afraid. Robb let out sigh of relief to see her sitting in the chair looking unharmed. He rushed to her side kneeling down taking her hand. He kissed her hands. Then he stood up kissing her hard.
"What in Seven hells happened, Rae"
Raenera met Robb's eyes with tears still on her lashes. She squeezed his hand. She nodded for Brynden "Blackfish" Tully to leave. He nodded his head leaving the chamber shutting the door.
"I confront Roose." Rae started.
"About what Rae, what aren't you telling me? He was one of my best generals. And he was loyal bannerman to me and my father." Robb asked trying to understand.
"No, he was not" Raenera yelled standing up.
She swayed standing up too fast. Her temper got the best of her. The fire that burned behind her eyes as met Robb's eyes. She turned away from him walking over to bed. She took the letters that was her proof. Robb came over to her with a hard as stone face on his face. She thrust the papers in his hands.
"He was, and the Freys were conspiring against you working with Tywin Lannister. Read them if you don't believe me." Raenera stated. She could see the non belief in his features of his face. Her hand went to her belly. She would any and everything in her power to protect the child the now rest in her womb. Her face went to look of pure feral look. "But regardless with or without you I will burn the Twins to ground destroying that family root and stem." Raenera growled.
Robb looked at her she sound a bit like mad man. He noticed her one hand rested on her stomach. He could see the fierceness of the dragon lurking behind that beautiful face. She had her head held high but he could see she was battling something inside. He thought back to last night, did she find this out last night. She was trying to protect him. He took the letter throwing them to the ground. He pulled her tightly into his embrace.
"What did he do to you?"
"He held a dagger to my neck nearly pushed me off the curtain. For a moment there I thought he was going to kill me."
"No more, walking around without guards Rae. You are too important for our cause without you really think that Martell and Tyrells will stay if you died" Robb stated kissing her forehead.
Robb was preparing for a fight. Raenera just cuddled closer to him. He looked down at her for a moment. And she lifted her head from his shoulder meeting eyes.
"I agree. I see that now."
Rae noticed the questions in his eyes. She gave him a huge smile taking his hand placing it over her belly. Robb's eyes went wide.
"Are you?"
"Maester Davith confirmed it this morning. Are you angry?" Rae asked.
"You are my queen when he noticed, " Robb said taking her chin his hands gently.
"And I have your little prince or princess inside me"
"Maybe one of each. I love you." Robb joked
Raenera giggled. Robb brought his lips to her capturing her laughter in his mouth. He picked her up carrying her to the bed.
Jaime was in his chamber he was the scrubbing the blood from his hands. He looked up into the mirror. He ran his hands through his hair. He was lost in his mind. Tyrion knocked on the opened door. Jaime looked in the mirror met Tyrion's eyes while his back was turned.
"Do you mind if I come in?"
Jaime shook his head no. He was reliving that moment in his mind. It reminded him of killing the mad king. Tyrion poured himself a glass of wine taking a seat. Jaime walked over pouring himself a large drink. He took a large drink of the wine.
"Theon Greyjoy was captured today. It is a good day for King Robb and Queen Raenera"
Jaime said nothing just raise his eyebrows. He took another drink. He regarded Tyrion.
"Not good enough" Jaime commented.
Tyrion met Jaime's eyes. He had questions in his eyes. He went, when he noticed, where Jaime was staring. Tyrion noticed the sword leaning against the wall with blood still on it.
"What in the seven Hells happened?"
"I killed a man"
"Who?"
"I believe his name is Lord Roose Bolton. The sigil is a flayed man." Jaime said.
"Why?"
"He was trying to kill Raenera"
Robb and Raenera were locked in passionate aftermath of their love making. She was covering his chest. Robb had his one arm around her keeping her close. Their fingers were interlocked. He kissed her again. He had a smile that would not leave his face. His other hand rested possessively on her belly. He could not wait to see her grow with child. He kissed her one last time before get up tying a robe around his body. She sat up looking coyly at him.
Robb walked over to the table noticing the pardon that was sitting waiting for a seal to make it legal and binding. He looked over to her. She had her hands resting on her belly. She looked up at Robb with a peaceful look.
"What is this?"Robb asked.
"A pardon"
"I can see that love"
"He deserves it, Robb. He not only saved my life, and yours but our child's. Our future, I know he has done some horrible things and no amount of good can undo what he has done."
Robb took the piece of parchment walking over to the fireplace burning. Rae looked at him wide eyes. She came over placing his hand on his shoulder.
"Robb please"
Robb turned taking her arms in his hands. They stared at each other for a long while.
"I love you, Rae. Do you hear me I love you."
"And I love you."
"Then trust me on this Rae" Robb stated.
Rae looked at him with sigh. She bit her bottom lip. Before, she bowed her head nodding her head. Robb walked over to the desk pulling out another piece of parchment out. He dipped the same quill into the ink and started to write. Once he was done he poured two spots of wax onto the bottom of it. He pressed his stamp and then picked up hers pressing into the second spot of wax.
"Get dressed, " Robb said.
Raenera and Robb sat in the great hall of Riverrun. Robb had a crown placed on his head that Hoster Tully had made for him. Rae sat next to him her hand held his; on her head was the matching crown feminine version of Robb's crown. Greywind sat at Robb's other side. Starlight was curled up at Rae's feet. Selaera was perched on the back of Robb's chair. Visenya was doing the same to Raenera chair. Rhaenys rest comfortably on Raenera lap. The great hall looked like a throne room. Catelyn stood by Sansa and Arya who were sitting near Robb by Greywind. Tyrion came into room walking near the front standing on the side near Raenera. People were crowding around leaving aisle. Behind Catelyn was Brynden "Blackfish" and Edmure. Greatjon and Smalljon stood next to Raenera's chair. Jaime made his way into the room coming to stand next to Tyrion.
"Torrhen Karstark, come forward" Robb called
Torrhen came forward kneeling before them. Lord Karstark looked on so proud. Raenera placed her hand on Rhaenys back. Robb looked at her fo a moment.
"My King, Winterfell is yours." Torrhen started. He looked over to Catelyn who was dressed in black. She had thought her sons were dead still. Hearing how Theon Greyjoy burned two small boys. "Lady Catelyn Prince Brandon and Prince Rickon were found alive. My brother will watch over them and keep them safe until, your return. We pushed the Greyjoy bastard back to sea where they belong. " Torrhen finished
Catelyn looked over to Robb and Raenera in shock. Happiness spread across her face. She never dreamed that Raenera plan would work. A cheer went up throughout the hall. Raenera turned her head smiling over at Catelyn who had happy tears in her eyes. Brynden placed his hand on her shoulder giving it a tiny squeezed.
"My queen has said we will feast in your honor tonight and we will. But I offer you something more. Anything you want if it in my power to give I will grant it I will" Robb said.
Torrhen looked over to his father. He knew what he wanted but his father would not like it. He bowed his head taking a deep breath before looking up at Raenera and Robb faces. He wetted his lips.
"I humbly asked to be part of your King and Queen guard,"Torrhen said
Raenera looked over to Robb in shock. Her hand stilled on Rhaenys back. Robb looked over to Rae. She nodded head. He brought their join hand to his lip kissing it.
"Granted. Rise Ser Torrhen of Kingsgaurd. I want you to guard our queen." Robb said.
"It would be my greatest honor," Torrhen said coming to stand by Raenera and Robb.
Robb looked over to Rae. She gave his hand a squeeze. She gave him smile as Selaera and Visenya let out little roars as the cheers went up. Lord Karstark even clapped loudly.
"Ser Jaime, step forward," Raenera said.
Jaime looked over to Tyrion. He nodded his head to Jaime. Jaime stepped before the thrones. He placed his sword before him dropping to his knees. He was sure he would be back in a cell by the end of this.
"Ser Jaime, you stand accused of the murder of, my wife father, King Aerys II, the attempted murder of Prince Brandon Stark, and the attack in the streets of Kings Landing of Lord Eddard Stark." Robb started. Jaime cringed with each passing crime was brought up. There was utter silence in the hall. Tyrion even cringed. "But none of that matters. I, King Robb Stark first of his name, King in the North, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord Regnant of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the realm, here by pardon you of all crimes. Arise Lord Jaime Lord of Casterly Rock, Warden of the West, Lord Paramount of the Westerlands." Robb finished.
The look on everyone face was one of utter shock. Tyrion looked up at Robb and Raenera in shock. She smiled over at him. Jaime looked up at them in utter disbelief. He rose to his feet taking his sword. His green eyes met Raenera's purple eyes then traveled to Robb's blue eyes. Jaime walked over to Tyrion still in state of shock. Robb rose to his feet taking Raenera hand walking out of the Great hall. Selaera, Rhaenys and Visenya took off fly behind them with Greywind and Starlight trotting behind them. As the door shut behind them the great hall descended into chaos.
