The Tides of Fire and Ice (A Game Of Thrones Story)

You Win or You Die

"Of course it is... We have some things to talk about Lord Stark."

"Yes we do Princess." Lord Stark said, his voice getting lower, seaming more angry than anything. The semi-dark candle lit room made me feel slightly on edge. The Warden of the north and a man my father considered as a brother more so than his own.

"You knew and said nothing." He said as he got angrier. I said nothing and stood there carefully watching the Stark's dimly lit face. "You tried to tell me, and I didn't listen you tried to tell Catelyn and were to scared. You knew who hurt our son and when you wanted to say something they beat you." He paused "Who else is in danger?" he asked. 

"Lord Stark, this time I'm going to be as blunt as I can be. We are ALL in danger. We are all standing on deaths door. Hell the all of Westeros is standing on deaths door, and we are letting a drunken horny stag, inbred lions with A LOT of god damn money, and little gossiping birds run the kingdom Lord Stark." I said in a snarky annoyed tone. 

I lowered my voice." I'm watching Cersei turn Joffery, my beloved brother into a monster. My little brother is going to be a killer and a future mad king.  Making him think that running a kingdom on fear and brutality is an okay thing to do. She is going to kill my father, and worst of all I have been locked in my chambers for DAYS My Lord... DAYS." I said.

Eddard went do go speak I cut of the Stark immediately. "and no my lord, see that promise i made with keeping your daughters safe ended when your lovely wife Catelyn  took someone very dear to me, someone who I value more than myself, and locked him away in the Eyrie." I said staring at the man in the dimly lit room. He smiled and chuckled. 

"It's okay Maliya, I understand. My girls are strong and can look after themselves. I'm sorry for everything Maliya." He smiled "If it means anything, you've helped me out more than anyone here Maliya. If anyone deserves that throne its you." He said. 

"You are more of an heir then anyone, how many of them are Jamie's?" he asked "All three, and I'm not a Baratheon nor am I a man, and I don't want to be queen." I said giving him a weak smile. "Why not?" 

"Don't get me wrong Lord Stark, I love all the people in Westeros even down to the free folk . But I could never rule no one would listen to a illegitimate child that is woman in the seven kingdoms. Sitting on that throne is a dangerous game and I do not want to have to win the heart of my people with money or fight battles to hold the throne. So many have died to be king. And if Robert dies my title as princess is gone and Tywin Lannister will make sure of that. And when that happens I will leave kings landing and bring down the Lannisters from the outside, and I believe I've gathered enough information to do just that. Also I'm not the marriage type." I said he nodded half way seeming to understand.

"One more question, How much do you actually know?" He asked me.  "Enough to keep myself alive for as long as possible." I said shrugging my shoulders. I heard Eddard sigh "I must get going." I said walking towards the door. I noticed the door was no longer closed but left slightly crack. We where being watched, the light sounds of someone hastily sneaking away could be heard. I didn't realize that Lord Stark was still watching me.

" princess?" He questioned.  "Actually lord Stark, there is one thing I would like to know." I paused "did King Robert tell you anything about my past?" I asked I heard lord Stark draw in a deep breath. And in a humble voice "Sit, we have a lot to talk about Princess."

Episode 7: You Win or You Die

I was watching out of a window over looking a small garden as lord Stark confronted Cersei.  even after my warnings. It must be true you cant tame the north its to wild. Lord Stark is an honorable man, however its his weakness.
