I own nothing
Robb and Raenera lead Ser Davos into a small chamber where they would try to strike a deal. A few servants brought goblets and wine and tea for Rae into the room. Robb pulled out a seat for Raenera. He nodded to servants as he looked at a fireplace. Ser Markas and Ser Tobas stood by the door guarding them. Ser Jaime was also in the chamber he stood by the fireplace looking Ser Davos Seaworth in the eyes with a cold hard stare. Rae gracefully sat down she motioned for Ser Davos to sit across from her. Robb turned back from the fireplace bring a goblet of wine over to Ser Davos. He placed one down by the seat next to Rae then he handed one to Ser Davos. Ser Davos took gladly nodding his head to Robb. He took a sip of the wine as Robb sat down across from Ser Davos next to Raenera.
Evalyne placed Raenera's tea down in front of her. Rae looked over to Evalyne with a smile. Evalyne moved back toward Greywind and Starlight who were lounging by the fireplace. Her hazel eyes caught sight of Rhaenys and Visenya soaring over the river. Selaera was not far behind the pair who were looping and displaying their power to all that could see. Raenera eyes caught Jaime looking at Lady Evalyne. Jaime's green eyes met Rae's purple eyes. Rae raised her eyebrow indicating between Evalyne and Jaime. He shrugged his shoulders focusing on the task at hand. Ser Davos cleared his throat as the servants left the room. It was enough to make Raenera look back at him.
"King Robb, Queen Raenera, King Stannis realizes that his is fighting a losing battle in the war. You have most of High Lords of Westeros on your side. I must say you do make quite an impression. You truly are a Targaryen and the Dragon Queen," Ser Davos addressed Robb and Raenera. He looked at Rae at the end addressing her solely at that point.
"Yes, but what is it he wants Ser Davos? I'm sure you have not come all this way to trade pleasantries," Robb growled bringing Ser Davos gaze back to Robb.
Rae looked over to her husband. His temper was coming to the forefront. She subtly reached for his hand giving it a little squeeze. He turned his gaze to her face his eyes soften as he looked at her. He brought their join hands to his lips kissing her knuckles. They turned back to Ser Davos, as Robb brought their hands to the swell of her stomach rubbing it.
"He simply asks, for pardons for the men that support him in his endeavor. That includes the boys that were sent to kill you, My Lady," Ser Davos started looking at her. Rae eyes and face were cold as stone. Robb squeezed her hand so he did not explode. "Also, he asks that you spare his life, and that of his wife, Queen Selyse and his daughter the Princess Shireen. And if you met these terms he swears fealty to you support you in your war effort. He will return to Dragonstone with his Red Woman."
Raenera and Robb consider his terms. Robb was deep thought about it. Raenera took a sip of her tea looking over to Ser Davos. It was clear there was no love between Ser Davos and this Red Woman. She smiled trying to control her giggles.
"You don't like this Red Woman, I take it Ser Davos. What is her name?" Raenera asked with humor in her voice.
"Melisandre, My Lady, She had a hand in the deaths of my son. And she has fooled everyone around King Stannis and even Stannis. She has him believing that he is this Azor Ahai reborn. The Lord of Light, chosen one," Ser Davos answered her.
"Some say I'm this Azor Ahai reborn or even my half sister Daenerys. We have awakened stone dragons been reborn in fire. You follow the faith of R'hllor, Ser Davos." Rae replied, remembering who the Lord of Light was from her reading in King's Landing.
"I follow no faith, My Lady," Ser Davos replied look in her eyes.
She pursued her lips. For a long time, she had no faith until she found the Weirwood tree and the faith of the Old Gods. She was raised in the faith of the seven but it never sat well with her. She still had no qualms about being called My Lady. But she knew every time that Ser Davos call her such Robb's temper rose. He saw as a slight.
"It is Her Grace" Robb growled sounding every bit like a wolf.
Raenera looked over at Robb. She was not offended by Ser Davos calling her my Lady. She understood his loyalty to Stannis. Ser Davos bowed his head looking over to her. Robb looked at her.
"I mean no offence Your Graces," Ser Davos said.
"It is fine," Rae said looking at Robb.
Robb looked at her for a moment leaning over kissing her forehead. He rested his forehead against her forehead. He could see she was playing a diplomat. He was not use to being calling His Grace or Your Grace. He had always been born to a Lord. But Raenera, his lovely wife, was always had been royalty. He wanted to defend her honor and birthright. She kissed him softly. It was enough to cool his temper for a moment. Robb turned his head looking at Ser Davos. He stood up.
"Here are my terms Ser Davos; Lord Stannis will swear loyalty not only to me but to the rightful Queen of Westeros, Raenera. The men that fought with him will be pardon. I regret to inform you that one of the boys that tried to kill my wife is dead and the other is to be sent to man the wall for the part in the attempt. I have shown him mercy at my wife request," Robb stopped for a moment looking at her.
Rae smiled up at him. She was letting him be the King that was destined to be. He thought over Ser Davos terms one thing stood one to him. Dragonstone, it was the ancestral home of Targaryen family. By all rights, it belonged to Raenera, not Stannis.
"His wife and daughter will not be harmed by me or any of my men. They are innocent in all of this. Shireen is the same age of my dear sister Arya. I could not sooner kill Shireen then I could kill Arya. My problems with your King's terms are quite simple. The red woman, whom you have spoken of poisoning Stannis's mind, I have no doubt a hand in the attempted murder of my wife. I cannot idly sit back when she could try not only to kill my queen but the child she carries. If you say is true and she had a hand in the death of your son and by my mother recounting the death of Renly Baratheon. I cannot let her live. She will sentence to death. I have no qualms about his faith of R'hllor" Robb paused butchering the Valyrian word. Raenera tried hard not to laugh. She smiled looking up at him with laughter in her eyes. "Or whatever in Seven Hells it called. He can find a new priest or priestess. Dragonstone will be returned to my wife. It is after all her family's ancestral seat and by right the birthright of my second son. If he swears fealty to me I will give him Storm's End make him Lord Paramount of the Stormlands," Robb said.
Ser Davos nodded his head the terms seemed to be fair. This was not what he was thinking they would be like. Raenera and Robb seemed to be genuine to be love.
"You will live at first light. I require response promptly. If he disagrees with my terms, I will rain down the full power of my army on him before I take King's Landing. I will litter the ground with Baratheon bodies from here to Dragonstone," Robb said sounding very much like ruthless king banging his hand down on the table.
"I understand your graces," Ser Davos said.
Raenera rose from her seat placing her hand on Robb's back. She noted the Evalyne and Jaime had moved closer together. Robb looked at her. She was the softness to his ruthless wolf nature at the same time Robb was the voice of reason to her hot-headed dragon nature. She smiled at him. She then walked around the table offering Ser Davos her arm.
"You must be tried. Allow me to show you to your chamber for the night. You are more than welcome to join us for the feast tonight," Raenera said.
Ser Davos looked between Raenera and Robb. He was unsure what was do to not take her arm would be an offence but if he took her arm he did want to see the possessive wolf nature of Robb Stark protecting his mate. Robb looked at him nodding his head. Ser Davos placed his hand on her arm. She smiled at him as she led him from the chamber. Ser Jaime, Ser Markas followed protecting her along with Evalyne and Starlight.
"Follow them," Robb muttered to Greywind.
Greywind looked at Robb and then at Raenera's retreating form. He nodded his wolf head in doggie way. He got up looping in front of Raenera. He inserted himself between Ser Davos and Rae. Raenera could not help but laugh.
They came to the chamber Ser Davos would be staying in for the night. He and Rae had been talking on the walk there. She was not the cold heart person so many people thought she was. She did really care about the people. It was easy to see her kind nature. He knew there was intelligence behind her eyes. He would hate to see what she could do if pushed come to shove. He had no doubt as ruthless as Robb was she could hold her own.
"Thank you, Your Grace," Ser Davos said robotically
"You can call me My Lady Ser Davos just not in front of my husband. I'm not your queen yet," Raenera teased.
"With any hope, you soon will be," Ser Davos said.
"I want you to know something,"
"What is that?"
"Do not worry about the fate of Shireen. Know that I will do everything in power to protect her, regardless what her father does. My husband and I do not kill children. She will not be made an example of, like my niece and nephew, were," Rae replied.
"Thank you, Your Grace, " Ser Davos said really meaning the word Your Grace.
He could see it then. She did have the royal blood. She was destined to b a great queen. Raenera gave him a true smile it light up her amethyst eyes. It caused her face to become even more beautiful than it was already. Ser Davos could see why so many flocked to her side and case. He could see why Robb was so smitten with her.
"I sure you would like to bathe. I will send maids to bring water."
"Thank you"
"Think nothing of it Ser Davos."
Ser Davos watch Raenera depart arm and arm with her Lady in waiting, Evalyne. The guards close ranks around her protect her from all danger. But it was funny for she had to lethal wolves walking along with her. Her word about her being the lord of light chosen one came to his mind. For the first time in his life, he had a question of faith.
Later, that night, Raenera sat in Robb's and her chamber. She was dressed for bed. She was lying across the bed on her stomach reading her sister's words. She smiled reading of her sister happiness at finding out of Rae's existence and how she found happiness and love with her first husband Khal Drogo. But as she read on her smile slowly faded when she read of his passing and lost of Daenerys child. She had tears in her eyes as she read of how Daenerys birthed her three male dragons, Drogon, Rhaegal and Viserion. Robb came into the room shut the door causing Rae to jump. She rolled over looking at who entered the room.
"Lost in thoughts my love," Robb said coming over to her.
Robb leaned down kissing her softly. He noted the letter on the bed. He moved away starting to get undressed. Raenera picked back up the letter reading on. Robb pulled off his tunic.
"Who is the letter from?" Robb asked.
"My sister, she supports our claim. She does not understand my love for you. She calls you a traitor for your father part in the rebellion against our father but she will accept you for me. She wants to meet me. She has three dragons, Drogon his black dragon with red accents. He is named for her later husband Khal Drogo. He much more aggressive than his siblings and larger; remind you of anyone." Raenera questioned.
"Selaera and Visenya a bad day, " Robb said.
"Visenya just has a foul temper. Selaera has always been more aggressive. The other two are both males too; Rhaegal is named for one of my half-brothers Rhaegar. He is a green dragon with bronze accents. She has not written of his temperament or that of his other brother. And Viserion is a creamy white dragon with gold accents. He is named for my other half -brother Viserys."
Robb comes over to the bed kneel on the bed. He took the letter from her hands. Before, he leans down capturing her lips with his. He started to pepper kisses over her face.
"What else does she write?"
"If we ever need her she will come with them to help us."
Robb started to kiss his way down her neck. He sank his teeth into her neck leaving behind love bites. Rae started to pull on his hair causing him to look at her. She captured his lips on her again. They pulled apart.
"There is something I need to tell you," Rae started unsurely.
"What is it? Is it the baby?" Robb asked worried his hand went to baby bump on her belly.
"No nothing is wrong. Maester Davith commented on my size and how many moons I am pregnant. He tells me I'm quite large for the number of moons."
"He just healthy wolf pup."
"It might be pups Robb"
"Pups, as in more than one" Robb stuttered.
"He wants to examine again tomorrow, to be sure," Rae said.
Rae's hand ran soothingly down his face and his curls. His stupor quickly left his eyes. He became even more determined.
"That settles it then," Robb said.
"Settles what my love," Rae asked completely lost.
"In a weeks time, I and most of the men will depart for the Twins. You will stay here with my sisters, mother, your lady in waiting and Lady Margaery. I'll leave 3,000 men and most of our Kingsgaurds here to protect you and our growing family," Robb stated.
"Robb," Rae started.
"I will not chance you or them in war camp" Robb stated silencing her with a kiss.
