Ned realised the truth and knew he had made a mistake by confronting Cersei.
Lyarra had warned him, and he chose to do what he thought was a kindness, but it turned out to be a great mistake.

His friend was now dead, and he was in the black cells. His second daughter betrayed him because she wanted to be Queen.
Why does he have to be so stubborn and ignore his daughters warnings.

He already had Varys come talk to him to convince him to recant his statement that sansa cried, but he was so angry at her and himself, but he could not lie. He knew his Lyarra would either get him out or avenge him and his fallen men.

Ned was suddenly pulled out of his mind by the sound of the guards falling to the ground.
The cell opens, and he sees two people dressed in winter guard uniforms.

"Come my lord, your eldest daughter is very cross with you."

Ned gulped at that but was thankful to his daughters people.

"What about Sansa?"

The men looked at each other and pulled him along before answering.

"She will be collected soon, my lord. Her room currently has no tunnel attached to it. We have to wait till she moves before getting to her. We have men to take out Bealish, Varys, and a Master in Essos who have been planning this war for some time."

That did not sit right with Ned but he knew there was nothing he could do.
He could do nothing for her down here, but he had to get home and stop his wife from making this any worse.

*Casterly Rock*

Jamie felt like everything was falling apart.
He finally had someone he truly liked. She was perfect for him in every way, and her mother had to ruin it, but taking his brother then his guard had to make it harder by injuring her father.

He just wanted to beat him in a fight. He would not kill him as he saw how much she loved her father, and then Cersei had to lock him up.

He lied to his father about the reasons he did not kill Ned.
He was frustrated about everything because he thought finally he could have something or someone to truly see him, and people were constantly getting in his way.

Jamie was in his tent with a wine and news that his brother left the Vale but wouldn't relax until he was back, then his squire came in with a letter.

Jamie was curious and opened it and saw what was written on it.

"I know you spared my father, I apologise for my mother.
I will kill your nephew.
I hope to see you at the competition.

Sincerely

L.S"

Jamie felt the weight he did not realise was there lifted, now he just needed to stop his father, and that meant overcoming his fear of him. He prayed to the old gods for strength.

*Winterfell*

Robb was sat with his banner men and waiting in his sister from Mount Cailin. Part of him was worried she would not show but he knew he had her support but when Great Jon had finished his rant the door blew open and in walked his sister Lyarra, she looked like a goddess, her long brown/reddish wavy hair, blue-grey eyes. She was tall and slender with a few guards with her and a stoic face. She gracefully walked forward with her loyal direwolf at her side.
She had Jon, Brienne,Tormund, Alarik, Loras,White Rat, and Domeric at her side.

She bowed her head at her brother with a little smirk, he walked around his table then to his sister, he stood a little taller then her and gave her a small smile before being pulling her into a hug.

"Welcome home, sister."

"Thank you for the welcome, brother."

Everyone suddenly cheered at the arrival of  Lyarra 'The Great Wolf' Stark.

"Thank you for the welcome, my Lords, I understand you are aware that my father and sister have been captured by Cersei Lannister and her baseborn son with her cousin Lancel."

The Lords scrunched up their nose at that information, and some were surprised.

"I have received news from my people in kingslanding that sansa betrayed our father because she wanted to be Queen."

That set rage in the Lords faces, a Stark betraying her own for a Lannister Bastard.
Robb looked devastated, and I kept a hold of him and gave a sorry smile.

"She is my sister, so I will save her from that monster that is Joffery Waters.
But my people are currently working on getting my father free from the black cells."

Everyone cheered at that, knowing if anyone could free Eddard Stark, it was his daughter.

"To delay this war so my men in essos can arrive, I will host the competition for my hand in one moon. This will make Tywin pause as his son Jamie has expressed his desire to join as he is no longer of the kingsguard."

This set everyone in rage. This also caused Alarik to fix his jaw in rage, but he understood why she allowed him, and if he had the chance, he would aim to kill him.

"Why, my lady, he is a kingslayer and has no honour."

"Honour will only get you so far, my Lords, as some of the South have little of it. But I must be far even to a Lannister."

They sulked but understood my reasoning and gave them time to set things in order.

"I have set a notice to all. The Tyrells are already in their way, and Dorne is currently at Mount Cailin and sworn to help our cause once it does start."

Everyone cheered again because they already had the support of Dorne.
They all went back to eating, Alarik went to his family to talk to them, and they enjoyed teasing him for a love sick look at Lyarra.
Lyarra walked to her brother and sat next to him.

"Where is Arya?"

"She is at Mount Cailin. She is training with the faceless men."

Robb just nodded at that because he felt that would suit Arya, but he was concerned about Sansa.

"Did she really do that?"

Lyarra had a sad expression on her face and nodded. Robb had a grim look on his face, looking like his father.
