Broken War Heart

You Shall Marry *Chaphter 8*

Katherine POV

I walk around the halls with Robb slowly making our way to the feast. I grip on to Robbs arm tighter has I see the door to the hall. He stops us and sighs. "I will promise you it will not be that bad Katherine. You are making your self stressed and over thinking it. It won't be a has bad has you believe my Katherine." He says. I take a deep breath and we start walking and go in the hall try that holds the feast. Wait did he call me his Katherine?....

Robb POV

This is the event I've been waiting for for so long. I've wanted to tell her since the moment she stepped into Winterfell but I thought it was to fast. I wanted to fall in love with her kindness all over again before she found out. I didn't know 100% until this morning since my mother and father would not let me in on details.

She spent the night looking at her food just picking on if not actually eating it. I watched has she adored her youngest siblings along with my own. How she cradled little Annabella because she began to feel after eating so much and refused to go to bed because she wanted to see who her sister would marry soon to come. She hummed a little song to her and combed her fingers through the young girls hair to sooth her. It brought a smile to my face. She would grow to become a terrific mother and wife one day. I took in all of her greatest traits. How her soul was kind and pure but she was also brave,stubborn,protective and took a stand for things. How she refuses to accept Jon has just a basterd and believes he is a true Stark. She is highly over protective of her siblings. Making a bet with Theon was reckless but it kept Theon away from her sister. The way her anger raised that the fact Joffery threatened and scared her little brother. And how caring and sisterly she is to my siblings.

I watched has King Robert stood up from his chair and clang his cup loudly. The hall grew quiet and faces turned to the king and my father. This is the moment I've been waiting for. Now Katherine can stop stressing and worry about how bad her future may become. Because I will not let my future wife live unhappy....

Katherine POV

I watched has the King stood with Lord Stark. My father soon stood up to join the pair. "Today I am proud to announce that Ms. Katherine Mikealson House of Mikealson Sign of the White tiger shall finally be betrothed." The king says. My heart starts to beat loud and fast has the cheers rang through the room. Why was my marriage such an excitement? Annabelle woke up from the cheering and looks at me sleepy. "Is it time yet?" She asks "Yes my princess it is." I say she smiles. "I'm very glad to announce that my oldest daughter Katherine shall be betrothed here in Winter fell." My father says looking at me. He was holding back and I wish he would just say it. "Lady Katherine shall be betroth" Lord Stark says. Oh no why is he announcing who I shall marry. "To my first born Robb Stark." He finishes. My breath hitches. That's why Robb has been telling me to worry about the whole marriage thing because knew the whole time and didn't even tell me. I felt greatful that it was Robb because it could have easily been a old royal drunk. "The tiger and the wolf are to become one!" The king cheers. Everyone in the room started cheering and then went back to celebrating. Annabelle looked at me happily but still sleepy. "Your gonna marry Robb!" She says "It seems I am" I say "Good, Good" she says sleeply "I like him..." She says drifting into a sleep again. I laugh at the sleeping little girl on lap. I look at my mother who made eye contact with me. Letting her know that I was bringing my sleeping sister to her chambers. I picked up my sister. And held her on my hip. Annabelle wrapped her arms around my neck and I walked out of the dinning halls. I walked further down the hall and I soon hurried footsteps behind me. I ignored the footsteps that followed me hoping they'd soo. Go a different direction but that was not the case. A hand touched my shoulder turning me towards them almost aggressively. I see none other then my dear cousin Joffery. Oh the joy..... " Joffery it is you, what may I do for you cousin?" I said " I thought I should see how my cousin is doing since you left so fast after the announcement and your betrothed. " He said showing obvious fake emotion. " I am just bring Annabelle to her chambers she did not want me to take her back until the announcement was made." I said. We were at her chambers so I opened her door and got her settled in bed. Walking out of her too. And Joffery still stood there. Couldn't he just leave me alone! "Was there something else you wanted to say cousin?" I asked " Oh yes I just wanted to remind you although I don't agree with you marrying that stark boy. Do remember if this marriage does not happen there shall be a good chance you be in married forever and sent away for disgracing your family." He said with his sickly smile. I laughed slightly annoyed with my cousin. "Joffery do remember you shall be betrothed to a Stark yourself soon. And has for my family we Mikealson's aren't your typical Westeros family, now are we Joffery." I say. He gives the same look he always did when I made a come back at him. Full of hatred. He never liked being talked to like that. Anyone who did who'd get punished but me and his mother where the only ones with gusts to say anything to him most of that time. I was never afraid of what Joffery would do to me just to others. So I will never let him walk all over me and make feel has if a woman had to what ever a man or king said. Because I was not brought up that way.
After my little statement I made my way back to the feast. I was outside of the door when Robb walked out. Our eyes met and he gave me a warm smile. But I could tell worry filled with in him. I laugh slightly. I am not !ad at you Robb." I say "Your not? I thought you would be since I've knew this whole time." He says "How long is 'the whole time'?" I ask. He looks down ashamed. "Since before your travels to Winterfell." He says. I sigh that do make me angry, I hate when people lie to me especially people I've learned to trust. "It's fine Robb, but I don't like secrets nor do I like liers. So I beg of you to not keep something from me like that again. Please Robb." I say. He takes my hand in his lips and leaves a soft kiss. " I promise on the old gods and the new." He says. I smile "So you shall be my husband.." I say "And you shall be my wife." He says smiling that made my cheeks turn red and break out into a smile. I think I be okay with this..
