Snow Ghost [Jaime Lannister]

Chapter VIII. Walk Of Punishment

In Riverlands at night, King Robb Stark sits in his tent. Lady Catelyn Stark sits as well "Walder Frey is a dangerous man to cross."

Robb says "I know that."

I give him a look "And you mean to do it anyway?"

"I love her."

"Now you agree with love." I mocked him

"I know that seems important to you." Catelyn said.

Robb says "It is important to me."

"Your father didn't love me when we married. He hardly knew me or I him. Love didn't just happen to us. We built it slowly over the years, stone by stone, for you, for your brothers and sisters, for all of us. It's not as exciting as secret passion in the woods, but it is stronger. It lasts longer."

"And that is what would be in store for me with one of Walder Frey's daughters, what you and father had?"

I wonder "Why not? Because she's not beautiful? Because she's not exotic and exciting?"

"Now you're arguing just to argue because you arranged it."

Catelyn says "And you agreed to it. You gave him your word. Treat your oaths recklessly, and your people will do the same. If your father lived his life for one thing"

"My father is dead. And the only parent I have left has no right to call anyone reckless." Robb exits.

"So?"

"Well, mother, this girl will be his end." I said.

Narrator POV

Outside The Riverlands, In Bernia's tent, Robb gets in. Bernia smiles and heads to him "Robb" she holds his cheek "I know you won't avoid me forever"

Robb takes her hand and put it next to her gently "I came to make our deal"

Bernia asks "What? I do not understand"

"I will marry Talisa" Bernia stares at him "So I need your approval"

Bernia smiles "I am happy for you" takes a deep breath "Marry her, I know you will do it anyway" she laughs "You love Lady Volantis"

Lyanna POV

Outside The Riverlands, A Septon marries Robb and Lady Talisa Maeger to one another "In the sight of the Seven, I hereby seal these two souls, binding them as one for eternity. Look upon one another and say the words."

"Father, smith, warrior, mother, maiden, crone, stranger."

"I am hers and she is mine from this day until the end of my days."

"I am his and he is mine from this day until the end of my days."

They kiss. Bernia who standing next to Robb patted his shoulder with a smile "Congrats, Robb. May Gods give you healthy children" Bernia looks at Talisa with a nod and heads to her tent with tears.

I watch her go and give Robb a look and without a word I left too.

Narrator POV

Essos, often simply called the East, is the largest of the four known continents in the world. It lies east of Westeros and north of Sothoryos and Ulthos, stretching from the Shivering Sea in the north to the Summer Sea in the south, and from the narrow sea in the west to the lands surrounding the Jade Sea in the east, if not farther.
