Ned sat across from Rhaegar Targaryen looking at the chess board laid out in front of them.  Ever since their schooldays, Ned and Rhaegar had both enjoyed playing the game together.  Equally matched in both wit and smart’s it the games usual were won by whoever had the edge that day.  Today’s game would be to Rhaegar, and Ned Stark knew that the moment he sat down and looked at the pieces on the table.  

 

“I received some news today Ned.”  He said making a calculated move.  

 

“You’re in a heavily guarded prison.”  Ned sated taking one of Rhaegar’s knights off the board.  

 

“Yes, but you my friend are underestimating me.”  

 

“Please, enlighten me then.”  Ned said with a hearty yet guarded laugh.  

 

“Rumor has it, that you pissed off the wrong family.”  Rhaegar looked at the board as he saw he could call check in three moves.  

 

“What else is new?”  And spoke before taking a sip of water.  Being from an influential family, Rhaegar, was able to have much in his visiting hours.  Even with a man of the law seated right across from him.  

 

“That you wish to make an unbreakable agreement between us.”  

 

“Did you now.  This rumor is spreading fast, if it has reached your ears.”  Ned looked at his friend and smiled when he knew who told him.  

 

“How is Eli?”  Rehgar threw his head back with a laugh.  

 

“You always can read me like a open book Stark.”  

 

“I’m a judge, I’m suppose to read people like an open book Targaryen.”  He retorted back with a laugh that equal his.  

 

“An Unbreakable agreement in Westors City is one of Marriage.”  

 

“I understand, I would not have said so, if I didn’t.”  

 

“Aegon is already wedded to Margaery Tyrell.  So you must either be speaking about my beloved daughter or my beloved other son.”  

 

“Robb is not ready to marry.  It would be to soon after Jeyne’s accident.”  

 

“Yes, yes, I know.  A car bombing is truly sad, but to find out after that she was with his child.  Must have devastated him.”  

 

“Truly, Truly, it did.”  

 

“So that must mean my youngest.  Jon Targaryen.”  

 

“And my eldest daughter."  Ned moved his queen.  Rhaegar took her and placed his right in position.
