There are several game pieces representing different House sigils located on different parts of the map. Robb and Carmine are at a campsite, within a tent lit up by candles
Carmine: Are you sure about this?
Robb: No.
Carmine: It's dangerous.
Robb nods his head in agreement
Robb: If we take Tywin's castle from him, the lords of Westeros will realize he's not invincible. Take his home, take his gold, take his power.
Carmine: Why are you telling me?
Robb walks around the table towards him
Robb: My mother begged me not to send Theon to negotiate with his father and I ignored her advice.
He pours himself something to drink
Robb: Now Winterfell is burned to the ground. The North is overrun with Ironborn and Bran and Rickon are gone. So, Casterly Rock? I'm asking your advice.
Carmine looks at the map
Carmine: We have enough men?
Robb grabs a House Frey piece
Robb: If Walder Frey cooperates.
Carmine: If Walder Frey cooperates. If reinforcements arrive from King's Landing, before we take the castle, we'll be caught between Tywin's army and the sea.
Robb moves the House Frey piece to the House Stark side of the map
Robb: We'll lose the war and die the way father died. Or worse.
Carmine: Show them what it means to lose something you love.
THE TWINS
Korb gallops his horse stopping and stares up at the Twins
Korb: I go in a single man and come out with Walder Frey as my father in law
Blane: Eh I'm lucky I am not you
Korb: Ah shut up.
INSIDE THE TWINS
Robb, Talisa, Carmine, Edmure, Carth, Korber, and Catelyn stands before Walder Frey
Robb takes a piece of bread, dips it into the salt and eats it while looking intently at Walder
Walder: My honored guests, be welcome within my walls and at my table. I extend to you my hospitality and protection in the light of the Seven.
Robb: We thank you for your hospitality, my lord.
Servant stops in front of Walder. He takes a piece of bread from the plate and eats it
Robb: I have come to make my apologies, my lord, and to beg your forgiveness.
Walder: Don't beg my forgiveness, your Grace. It wasn't me you spurned, it was my girls.
He signals for his female relatives to appear before Robb
Walder: One of them was supposed to be queen, now none of them are.
As he calls each relative by name, they briefly look up at Robb
Walder: This is Arwyn, my daughter. My daughter Walda, my daughter Derwa, my daughter Waldra.
Korb intently watches the Frey women. Blane and Edam has their heads hung low silently snickering to themselves.
Walder: Serra and Sarra, granddaughters, twins. You could have had either. Could have had both for all I care.
