"I know you crossed with almost 200,000 wildlings to this side of the Wall, and I also know the hatred you hold against the Starks. Perhaps we can reach an agreement..."

"House Bolton offers a union with House Targaryen, and we unite to exterminate the last Starks. My father offers the army of the North against the Lannisters once House Bolton becomes the protector house of the Kingdom of the North. You shall have the loyalty of the Boltons. That is why I ask that we unite to destroy the Starks and Stannis' army, who is at this very moment stepping foot on the lands of the North, seeking to usurp the Iron Throne that belongs to you, Daemon Targaryen."

Jon finished reading the paper aloud while everyone present had different reactions. There were two children, the Stark boys in his tent, Jojen and Meera Reed, and unsurprisingly, his four women listening to him speak about the letter he had just received through the Night's Watch after the ravens arrived at Castle Black.

It was a letter from the Boltons, requesting an alliance with him and the free folk—after all, it was a massive army—and after their failed attempt to take the North by aligning Roose Bolton with the Lannisters and Freys, it proved to be a failed endeavor.

"The Boltons are desperate..." Jon concluded.

It was obvious that even after conquering Winterfell from the ironborn and gaining a few allies since the Red Wedding, they were surrounded and losing those same allies. After all, the news that Lord Stark was once again in the North, heading to White Harbor and possibly negotiating with Stannis for an alliance to gain the North's support in his quest for the Iron Throne, had spread.

And things were getting worse for the Boltons as Robb Stark survived the Red Wedding and might already be in the North. Even with the mistakes Jon heard about Robb during the war, he was the least of the Boltons' problems—his father still had a great deal of support, destroying any real control of the North as long as Lord Stark was alive. And he now seemed well protected with an army.

Lord Bolton was trapped south of Moat Cailin, the ironborn had taken the fortress and were proving to be a problem for Roose.

"These Boltons... they don't seem trustworthy..." Lucis couldn't help but comment.

"They are traitors!" the paraplegic boy said louder than he intended.

"Yes..." Jon spoke in a calm tone. "I don't like your mother and wouldn't mind slapping her face a few more times, but certainly what they did is unforgivable." he said.

Bran shrank back upon hearing that, still looking at Jon cautiously. He had only seen his anger toward his family, while Bran remembered him from childhood. He didn't understand that rage Jon had for his family, but still, Jon had taken him in and certainly didn't mind saying how he was willing to kill their own father.

Bran only agreed to come here because there was no other choice and Jojen insisted heavily, as he sincerely believed this was one of the worst places to be—with this supposed brother.

"Returning to answer you." Jon turned his attention back to Lucis. "They betrayed their own lords in a pact of non-aggression. What remains of these people is their destruction." he made it clear.

"Will you destroy them?" Daenerys asked.

"Yes... we need to set an example. I'm not doing this for House Stark, but we need to bring order to the Seven Kingdoms, and if someone commits something so vile, their house must be exterminated along with all descendants, no matter who they are. This, of course, also applies to House Frey. House Lannister will be destroyed either way." Jon spoke calmly.
