THE CAMP WAS PACKED WITH MEN DOING THEIR DUTIES, Taliana has taken a notice that her husband has been growing distant, not wanting to make love to her, spending his own time planning the war with the Lannisters enemies.

      Taliana walked with Lady Cerella, "I know it's been hard with Theon being gone," Taliana began, "My queen, please don't start again," The blonde woman give her queen a look.

      "Cerella it's been months since Theon left, and you haven't spoke of him since!" Taliana rolled her eyes, "Taliana, what is done is done," Lady Cerella spoke, "But–" Cerella give her friend a look, and Taliana nodded and left it at that.

       Lady Cerella stopped in her tracks and Taliana didn't know why until she saw what Cerella saw, Robb Stark speaking to a woman, shes seen her before, but this time the woman was more beautiful. She has less blood on her.

      Taliana stared at them from a far, "Perhaps you join me, if you got time of course," Taliana shook her head and walked up to them, "Robb," Lady Cerella just stood there watching from afar.

"Taliana!" Robb walked up to her to stand with her, "Uh this is Lady Talisa, she's been helping with the wounded, she's been helpful," Taliana nodded, "Lady Talisa...?" Taliana waited for her madden name, "Maegyr," Lady Talisa spoke, "Maegyr? Forgive me, I do not know this name," Taliana raised her eyebrows, "An uncommon name here. An old name in Volantis."

       "Excuse me.Your Graces."

Lady Talisa spoke bowing before leaving, Taliana turned to Robb, "She seems kind," Robb smiled while watching her leave, "She is."

"Robb!" He turned, "Mother!" It was lady Catelyn, "My lady," Taliana smiled at the woman, "Taliana would you mind if I spoke to my son alone," Taliana nodded before making her way back to Cerella.

Lady Cerella give her friend a look, "Don't," Cerella looked away, "I thought everything was good between you too?" Taliana nodded,

      "Uh we have had some complications recently," Taliana looked down, picking at the skin of her nails.

     "I'm sure you have nothing to worry about my queen," Taliana nodded, not believing it but agreeing anyways, "Come, let's have some wine," Cerella guided her friend into her tent.

—— ୨୧ ——

THAT NIGHT TALIANA LAID IN BED ALONE, as she's been for the past few nights.

Taliana signed and let some tears fall from her eyes, as she looked at the empty side of the bed, where her husband should be.

       Taliana heard someone outside her tent, "My queen?" She sat up, "Enter!" Taliana called out, "My queen, the king request your presence."

      Taliana nodded and got up and grabbed her robe to throw over her night dress, and she walked though the dark camp, and into a tent, "This cannot be true," Taliana walked into Robb saying, "What is it?"

      "We've had ravens from White Harbor, Barrowton and the Dreadfort. I'm afraid it is true," Lord Bolton spoke, ignoring Taliana, the queen looked at Lady Catelyn, then at Robb.

      "Theon took Winterfell," Robb spoke to Taliana, "Took Winterfell?" No one said a word after her question and she knew everyone was on edge.

     "Why? Why would Theon..." Taliana got cut off, "Because the Greyjoys are treasonous whores." Lord Bolton hissed, "My brothers?" Robb asked, wondering where Bran and Rickon are.

     "We've heard nothing of them. But Rodrik Cassel is dead," Lady Catelyn had tears in her eyes, "I told you, never trust a Greyjoy!" Lady Catelyn yelled, Taliana rubbed her face, "I must go North at once," Robb spoke, "You can not husband, there is still a war to win!" Taliana begged her husband.

       "How can I call myself king if I can't hold my own castle? How can I ask men to follow me if I can't..." Robb stood up and yelled in his wife face, Taliana flinched back with tears begging to spill, "You are a king," Lord Bolton jumped in, "And that means you don't have to do everything yourself."

       "Let me go and talk to Theon," Lady Catelyn spoke getting Robb attention away from Taliana, "There will be no talk. He will die for this," Lord Bolton stepped in, "Theon holds the castle with a skeleton crew. Let me send word to my bastard at the Dreadfort. He can raise a few hundred men and retake Winterfell before the new moon. We have the Lannisters on the run. If you march all the way back north now, you'll lose what you gained. My boy would be honored to bring you Prince Theon's head."

     "Tell your son Bran and Rickon's safety is paramount. And Theon ... I want him brought to me alive. I want to look him in the eye and ask him why. And then I'll take his head myself," Robb told Lord Bolton, Taliana stood there tearing wanting to fall, but she refused.

       Taliana looked to the ground as Lord Bolton walked out, Taliana could tell that Lady Catelyn didn't want to leave her alone, "Robb," Taliana looked at her husband in the eyes which he had realized that he had scared her, "Taliana,I didn't–" Taliana nodded, "I wish to go to bed, shall you join me?" Taliana asked her husband, "I'll join later."

       Taliana knew it would be another night alone, since when Taliana would fall asleep Robb would sneak in and fall asleep, and before Taliana would wake up Robb would get up and sneak out and plan his war.

       Taliana nodded and left the tent, alone.






       Taliana nodded and left the tent, alone
