Two months later
“Would you shut up that dang infants crying. I can’t concentrate!” Walder yelled at me while he was getting dressed and I laid in his bed naked underneath the covers.
Staring up at the cold ceiling I couldn’t bear to look at the elderly man. I could feel him in my body even though he had just finished having his way with me like he has since I had given birth. “Yes, my Lord husband.” I whimpered, sitting upright with the pillows behind me.
“I’ll be back later tonight.” Lord Frey coughed, opening the door and leaving the room. That was the moment I forced myself out of the bed no matter how much it physically hurt me.
Tossing away the furs I rolled out of the bed thinking that I could stand up but my knees gave out and I fell down onto the stone floor. The baby that was laying in the crib in the corner of the room. “Ssshh baby. Momma is here.” Throwing my nightgown on, I winced when the fabric touched my legs. Picking up the baby girl in my arms all I could see was a mini Robb. I had named her one of the names that we had talked about even though Walder Frey made me declare she was a bastard and not a Stark. “It’s alright, Cadenza.”
Someone knocked on the chamber door making me cross the room and answer the door. “I do not want visitors, Violet.” I grumbled under my breath holding my baby closer to my chest.
“I’m sorry, my lady. But Lord Walder has ordered me to help you bathe before he returns from his meetings.” Violet, one of my ladies, entered the room beginning to pour in some hot water and grab a towel waiting for me to come over to her. Sitting my baby daughter back down in the crib going over to the girl and dropping my night gown to the cold floor.
Keeping my back facing her I heard a gasp escape from her lips. “What’s wrong, Violet?’
“Forgive me, my lady. But are you aware of these marks on your body?”
I simply replied. “I am.”
“Oh” She paused, biting her lip before speaking again. “Would you like me to inform Lord Walder that someone is doing this to you?”
Shaking my head I blinked away some tears, wishing that Robb would come rescue me. “Don’t tell his lordship. He's - he's the one that's been doing this to me.”
“By the gods.” Violet gasped, bringing a hand to her mouth when I glanced over my shoulder at her. “Why would you allow Lord Frey to rape you - defile your body so harshly this way.”
Climbing into the bath with her aid I shifted so I was looking at her directly before we stopped our conversation. “I let him because it's to protect my family, House Stark. He may call my daughter a bastard but she is really the true born daughter of Robb Stark. No matter how much Walder Frey may break me, i will not let him hurt the people I love. Now if you would, please help me with my bath.” Violet parted her lips, picking up a bar of soup and getting some on her heels before working it into my messy white hair not saying another word.
“You are a lot braver than most women who are forced to marry men like our lord, my lady.”
She poured some water over my hair resicing out the product that she had put into moments ago. “Call me Haelesa.”
