KNIGHTFALL

The Bolton banners are lowered down dropping on the ground. Rohar is watching the banners being piled up in the courtyard, arms folded.

Roslie walks up to him

Roslie: My love?

Rohar turns and faces her.

Rohar: Are you and Robb settling in alright?

Roslie: Yes we are settling in marvelously.

Rohar: Are you certain you wish to do this? He is still your father, Roslie

Roslie: No he stopped being my father a long time ago. He needs to pay for all he's done. He has to die

Rohar: We make the Twins now.

WINTERFELL-DINING HALL

Elizabeth stands behind the high table. Alden, Hanir, and Melisandre stands by her side.

Elizabeth: When we had feasts, our family would sit up here.......and me and Jon sit there.

She points to the other end of the hall

Alden; Not anymore. Winterfell is yours now, Elizabeth Stark. You're Queen in the North. Warden of the North.

Elizabeth: Thank you

Alden nods his head.

Melisandre: Could have been worse, Elizabeth Snow. You had a family. You had feasts.

Hanir and Elizabeth chuckles.

Elizabeth: You're right. We were luckier then most

Davos storms into the hall and places the charred statuette in Alden's hands

Alden: What's this?

Davos: Tell them. Tell them who it belonged to?

Elizabeth: What is going on? What are you talking about, Davos?

Hanir grabs the statuette and looks at Melisandre in shocked and horror.

Hanir: Did this belong to---

Melisandre: The Princess Shireen.

Davos: Tell them what you did to her. Tell them!

Melisandre: We burned her at the stake

Hanir and Elizabeth looks at her in horror, Alden is angry at hearing this.

Davos: Why?

Alden: You burned a little girl alive!

Melisandre: I only do what my Lord commands!

Davos: If he commands you to burn children, your Lord is evil!

Melisandre: We are standing here because of him. Alden Grey is alive because the Lord willed it.

Davos: I loved that girl like she was my own. She was good. She was kind. And you killed her!

Melisandre: So did her father. So did her mother. Her own blood knew it was the only way.

Davos: The only way for what? They all died anyway! You told everyone Stannis was the one. You had him believing it, all of them fooled. And you lied.

Melisandre: I didn't lie. I was wrong.

Hanir: How many died because of you?

Davos and Melisandre stares at each other in silence

Davos turns to Alden

Davos: Your Grace, I ask you to execute this woman for murder. She admits to the crime.
