The Lion & The Wolf

Chapter 23

Robb is not happy having Littlefinger in his home and Sansa tells him something he wasn't expecting. Myrcella gives Serena some good info. I hope you guys like it. 🥰

Robb was not happy that Littlefinger was in his home, he did not trust the man and did not like the way he looked at his mother much less the way he looked at Sansa. He could see that his sister was not comfortable with the man either. He had not had much time to speak to his sister about what was happening or why the man was even there, but he would make sure to do it soon. He had spent most of his time since arriving at Winterfell trying to keep Jaime Lannister and Daenerys Targaryen apart. The woman still looked at Jaime like she wanted to set him on fire and Robb was sure that if Jaime got killed by the dragon queen Tywin would kill him.

"I do not like that man." Jon stepped beside him. "Why is he here?"

"From what my mother said he is here with the Vale knights." He was not sure why they even followed the man. "My mother said that Littlefinger married Aunt Alyssa and since she is dead now he is the regent for our cousin Robin."

"Why?" Jon's look was confused. "They were not even married for a year, why would anyone follow him?"

"I am not sure." Robb looked toward where the man was trying to speak to Sansa and could not help but notice how uncomfortable his sister looked, while their mother just looked at them with a smile on her face. "But I cannot allow him to insert himself in my family."

Robb moved to where his sister was, he was not going to let Littlefinger move around his home like he was the lord and master.

"Sansa." Robb smiled at his sister. "I need to speak to you, alone."

"Your grace." Littlefinger bowed, the smile on his face was disturbing. "I am so happy to see you alive and well, some people did not think you would make it back from the south."

"Where you one of those people?" Robb asked with an amused smile on his face.

"I have always had faith in you." The man's answer was not honest in the least. "But we all know that the Stark men do not do well when going south."

"Yes, well, I am back now and everything is perfectly fine." Robb gave the man an annoyed smile. "If you will excuse me."

He took his sister's arm and led her away from the man. He could see Sansa's shoulders relaxing as she let out a relieved sigh. Robb led her out of the great hall and out of the castle. It was snowing already and incredibly cold, Robb could feel that this winter was not natural and it would get worse from here on out. He could not imagine how horrible it would be once the night king was at the gates. They did not stop until they had entered the crypt, walking slowly to where their father's statute was.

"I miss him," Robb said as he looked at the statue. "I wake up sometimes still expecting him to walk down the halls and yell at me for being late to my lessons."

"Yes, I still expect to see him too." Sansa shook her head. "I have never been able to forget the way he died. I can still see him being beheaded every time I close my eyes,"

"I am sorry." Sansa frowned at him and Robb gave her an apologetic look. "I am sorry that I did not save you and for everything you had to suffer."

"There was nothing you could have done."

"Yes, there was." Robb was done hiding from all the mistakes he had made and his sisters were two of the people he had to apologize to the most. "I should have exchanged Jaime for you and Serena. The fact that I decided to hang onto him made it possible for Joffrey and Cersei to torture you two more."
