Rightfully Mine // Ned Stark

Confession

Ned was brought before the queen mother and the king and Sasha, and Pycelle. No one else was in the throne room.

'I am Eddard Stark. Lord of Winterfell and Hand of the King." Ned looked to sasha her beautiful face pinched with worry, her cheeks stained with tears. "I come before you to confess my treason in the sight of gods and men. I betrayed the faith of my King and the trust of my friend Robert. I swore to protect and defend his children. But before his blood was cold I plotted to murder his son and seize the throne for myself." Ned lied, hoping doing as his daughter wished but he knew his only chance was sasha convincing Joffrey otherwise. "Let the high septon and Baelor the blessed bear witness to what I say. Joffrey Baratheon is the one true heir to the Iron Throne by the grace of all the Gods, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and protector of the Realm.' Ned struggled to say the words as sasha struggled to hear them and Joffrey smiled smugly.

Joffrey looked to Sasha but her eyes were locked on Ned. Sasha held her breath not able to breath, if this was his last moments... her heart couldn't bear it. Finally Joffrey spoke up, rising from the iron throne.

'Your daughter and my sweet sister begged for your life.' Joffrey told him but ned didn't flinch. 'I will show mercy.' Sasha let out a gasp of a breath. She couldn't believe her ears. She had convinced Joffrey somehow. 'You are to be sent to the wall. My dear sister has requested it and as temporary hand in your stead and a wise king listens to his council.' Sasha felt her heart pounding in her chest as ned was helped up. 'My dear sister will accompany you to the wall. You leave in the morning.'

'I cannot thank you enough. You got me my life.' Ned told her as he was escorted back to his cell.

'I cannot find arya and sansa is being held captive by cersei until we leave. Im sorry i cannot get her out of here as well.' Sasha told him.

'Arya is resilient she will be fine. I know it.' ned told her.

'I have two horses and some packs of food and supplies and gold for the road. Get some sleep.' Sasha told him. 'I fear the journey has just begun.'
