Chapter Eleven

Bernadette Stark

She lay on her bed alone as she allows Robb to get ready for war. She shivers at the last time the bannermen of the North were called.

"Well, I say we go after those fuckers who dare lay their dirty hands on the daughter from the House of Starks!" Lord Umber shouted in raged. Many of them shouted agreement and bang their cups on the table.

"Hunt them down and drive them away from the North!" Lord Karstark shouted.

Aye, she remembers. The North remembers.

She saw burning temples and impalement of Septons and Septas.

"Mercy! Please for the Love of the Seve-!" Bernadette stabbed the Septa right into her heart.

Bernadette stared down with her stone cold as she watches around her that many northmen and women had hunted them down. They drove them away from the Borders of the North.

Everyone cheered as Bernadette told Lord Bolton. "Send a raven to Kingslanding. Make sure King Robert Baratheon gets the letter."

"Yes. Lady Stark."

But she also, found Jory Cassel.

He was patient and kind to her. He didn't not ask question on why she did what she had to do.

"My Lady," He kneels down to a tearful Betty. She ran away from the home a bit because she heard whispers from children and called her monster.

"Forget what they say," Jory wipe away her tears. Betty smiled at him.

Bernadette looked at her desk where she hides her most precious treasure. A bronze bracelet that his intention on marrying her.

"Jory," She gasped in surprise when he presented her a bronze Bracelet. It was during the kings' feast and Jory wanted to give it to her for a long time.

"Just hear me out," He should her that he is unarmed. "I been thinking," Jory coughed nervously and deep breaths. "Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

Bernadette ran towards him and gave him a full mouth kiss. Jory gladly return it. Their kiss ended and pressed their foreheads together.

"I take it as a yes?" Jory teased her.

"It is a yes."

They hugged each other. How happy she was. All her life, she wanted a family of her own. She always believes that Jory Cassel will be that husband of hers and fathered her children.

Bernadette cries softly and sniffs while looking at her engagement bracelet.

"Must you go?" She pleaded Jory not leave. She already had one man, her brother Jon Snow leaving. She is already has her sisters and father to go. Why must he go too?

"I must," Jory gently grabbed her hand and lean closely to her, 'Don't I will come back with your father, Lord Stark's permission to marry you. You must wait for me."

Bernadette lean her forehead to his. "Don't I, always."

Bernadette put on the bronze bracelet on her wrist.

'Lannisters, you will feel my wrath!'

Bernadette gritted her teeth. Blue Rose feels her mistress wrath and went to her in comfort. Bernadette petted her direwolf's head as they looked at the full moon tonight.

Robb Stark

Robb is nervous, but she told him that he does not need his sister hands to hold his. He must uphold his features and not reveal his emotions.

This is a fight he hopes to win.

"My Lord," Measter Luwin called to him.

"Yes?"

"They're here."

Good, the Bannermen of the North is here.

"Say we go?" Robb stated as he walked out of his father's solar with Luwin behind him. He remember the conversation he had with Betty.

"I have already lead armies before you. It is not what those stories of brave knights are. They have shown you darker things that many refuse to tell. It is you're turn to lead this army. All I asked of you is study your hearts and look into your soul. Cease your glory."

Bernadette's words gave him courage.

This time sister, I will protect you.

Robb made a vow from that day before. It's time to face their enemies.

Lannister will know that winter is coming.

I hope this was worth your wait and appreciate your patient. So, Robb is preparing the war while Bernadette is staying in Winterfell because she feels that Robb should be the one to lead the North men to war. Give me Reviews and Comments.
