The Stormborn Twin's ~ON HOLD~

Chapter 25: I trust you

Vermithor leaned his body down to make it easier for me to climb down, once my feet hit the floor he leaned his head asking me for attention so I rubbed up and down his snout. Vermithor hadn't met Robb yet so when he walked closer to me my child placed his head in front of me opening his mouth and threatening him with his fire, placing my hand along the side of his head he relaxed. 

"Go lay with your brother" I spoke in Valyrian to him. Turning to face Robb I could see the fear in his eyes. "Don't mind him, he is just quite protective of me and as he hasn't met you yet. He didn't know if he could trust you with me is all."

"Oh that is perfectly fine I completely understand him, I would be protective of you as well." I couldn't tell if he was flirting with me or not but I just gave him a smile. "Whilst you were away we had a small victory and there are a few bodies to be burned, I remembered you saying that you need them to help hatch your egg so I was wondering if you would like to do that tonight?" he asked whilst we walked away from the dragons towards his tent. 

"Sure but I might need a few things before we do it." 

"Whatever you need I will have it prepared before sundown." I told him the things I needed and he told one of the soldiers close to us to fetch it all. 

Greywind had been sitting in front of his tent so when he noticed us he came charging towards us with his tail wagging like crazy, instead of running towards Robb like I was expecting he went straight for me. Bending down I placed both my hands on either side of his face behind his ears giving him so really big stretches. "Wow I wasn't expecting him to completely ignore me" he said with a laugh.

"Well, I guess he just loves me more than you huh." 

"Sorry to interrupt your grace but can we please talk in private" I hadn't even noticed Ragnar until he spoke. Looking up at him I gave a nod before turning my gaze towards Robb "I am sorry to cut our time short but this seems important." 

"No that's fine come find me when you're done and we can discuss the hatching tonight."  He left before I could reply to him again. 

"What is it, Ragnar? Is this about the betrothal?" 

"Yes your grace, Robb's advisers all agree that it would benefit us all but a few are a little worried about what it might cause the Lannisters to do." 

"Well if Robb agrees we will just have to deal with that when we get to it, I am more worried about how the Northerners will react. What if they don't like me?"

"If they don't like you that's just their problem because ever since I met you you have been nothing but kind to me and everyone else we have encountered."

"Thank you, Ragnar." 

"Of course your grace, I will always be here for you with whatever you might need."

I heard the tent flap move I looked towards the opening to see Ragnar standing there with what seemed to be a few pieces of cloth and the bag that carried my egg. "Sorry, you grace just here to drop these off for you. Robb asked for you." he said once he placed them on the table sitting towards one of the corners of the tent. "That's fine Ragnar I was just waiting for Robb myself." He nodded to show him acknowledging what I was saying. Once he left, it went back to the quietness that it was before continuing to wait for Robb.

I was in my own little world I didn't even notice when the king had actually walked in until he kneeled in front of me placing his hand on my arm and causing me to jump "I am so sorry Rhae I didn't mean to scare you, I was talking to you but you didn't seem to notice."

"No that's fine I'm sorry I didn't hear you, what did you say?" I asked once my heart had stopped racing. We were still sitting on the floor with Greywind between us.

"I was just informing you that I got the dress and cloak as you asked. I also moved the bodies to the clearing not too far from here, just a short horseback ride from here."

"Oh no we are taking the dragons there it will be safer for both of us and the new dragon once it hatches, keeping us safe whilst I'm in the fire." He seemed nervous once I had said that. "Don't worry Robb I'll be there to keep you safe and Balerion at least seems to like you, I don't know about Vermithor yet as you haven't spent enough time with him." Whilst talking I had gotten up and moved to the table that held my clothes, picking up the dress I headed towards the divider so that I could get dressed behind it.

"Wait Rhae can we talk for a second?"

"Yes of course what's the matter?"

"Well I had a meeting with my advisers and they informed me of the wedding idea that both of our advisers discussed today without us and I want to know what you think because personally, I don't care if you do because as long as it's you and not a random woman from a northern family that just wants me for the power my name holds as you don't even need to care about that but I'm just worrying because I want to know what you think about" cutting him off during the last part of his rant.

"Robb it was me who suggested it to Ragnar. Some of my advisers back on Dragonstone told me of the idea and said that if I liked it then should discuss it with you so I told Ragnar to talk to your advisers about it. I would happily marry you if that's what we both want and I do so if you do... let's get married." I could pretty much see the stress melting off his face once I had finished saying everything. He grabbed my hands in his.

"Let's get married then, I don't care when but the soon the better. Maybe discuss it with my mother."

"Of course first thing in the morning I will. I trust you so can you please help untie the back of my dress." I asked him and started walking towards the divider, I could hear him following behind me.

Standing so close behind me I could feel his body heat on my back, it sent shivers running down my spine. My brain couldn't think straight with him near, I tried thinking of anything else but the really attractive male sitting behind me but my brain would keep going back to him. I could feel his hands running up my back before they reached the string holding my dress together, it felt like he was purposefully doing it to get under my skin. After what felt like forever my dress finally came undone and fell off my shoulders before it hit the ground around my legs. There was a mirror in front of me giving Robb a perfect view of my whole body and I could see his eyes moving up and down. His hands moved to my hips and pulled me closer to him, I leaned into him when I laid my head against his shoulder.

"If we don't stop now we won't make it to the pyre tonight." Robb whispered in my ear, and feeling his breath on my neck made my whole body tingle.

"Yes, we really should. Let me get my dress on then we can go."

"Of course, I will wait by the fire for you." He walked away before i could respond so I quickly put the dress on as all i had to do was slip it over my head and then tighten it at the front of the bodice. Once i had the dress done I slipped on my shoes and walked out from behind the divider. 

I grabbed the bag and clock off the table and put the strap over my shoulder whilst i still hold onto the cloak.

"Alright lets go."
