3.14 Walder Frey

They had finally reached the Twins. Arabella stared at the two identical towers and looked at her husband. "Are you afraid?" he asked her.

She sighed and nodded. "I'll be fine." she smiled and they continued riding.

<...>

They were standing in the hall of one of the Towers. Arabella saw an old man and a young girl standing beside him. She was his new wife.

A man brought some meat with salt. Robb took one of it and shoved it into his mouth. Catelyn took it over and Edmure with Arabella took a bite. It was not really Arabella's type of food, but she ate it.

"My honored guests." Walder started. "Be welcome within my walls and at my table. I extend to you my hospitality and protection in the light of Seven." he said them in a bored voice.

"We thank you for your hospitality, m'lord." Robb said. "I've come to make my apologies and to beg your forgiveness..."

"Don't beg my forgiveness." Frey told him with a face Arabella couldn't read very well. "Your Grace, it wasn't me you betrayed. It was my girls..."

Then all of his daughters, granddaughters came into the view. None of them were pretty as Edmure looked around.

"One of them was suppose to be a Queen. Now none of them are." Walder informed the known with a hint of mock and hurt. He then named all of the girls, forgetting ones name.

"My lady's." Robb spoke to all of them. "All men should keep their words. Kings mostly. I was pledged to marry one of you and I broke that vow. The fault is not with you. Any man would be happy to have one of you. I did what I did not not to slide you. But because I loved another. I know these words cannot set the right of the wrong I did to you and your house. I beg your forgiveness and pledge to do all I can to make the mens, so the Freys of the Crossing and the Starks of Winterfell may once again be friends..."

Walder Frey clapped his hands and the girls all left. "Very good." he said then his eyes darted at the reason why Robb broke his vow. "There she is..."

Arabella looked at the man. "Come closer. Let me have a look at you." he added. Arabella took two steps closer to the man. "Still can't see you." he shook his head. "Old eyes..."

Arabella glanced at Robb. He looked at her too and nodded. She walked in the middle of staring people and bowed her head to the lord.

"The Lioness." he spoke with an intriguing voice. "Aren't you the Kings daughter? Vow. Isn't that how you should be called? Very honorable. I call it a pretty face. Mm... Very pretty. Prettier then the lot for sure. The shape is well. Who are you trying to hide under that dress? If you wanted to hide her, you shouldn't have brought her in the first place. I can always see what's going on beneath the dress. Seen this a long time. I bet when you take that dress off, everything stays right where it is, not a drop of each. Your King says he betrayed me for love. I'd say he betrayed me for firm tits and tight fit..." Walder commented.

Robb was getting furious at how his wife was being called out in front of all these people. He wanted to take a step, but Catelyn placed a hand on his arm, stopping him.

"And I couldn't respect that." Walder then added, sensing Robb's anger. "When I was your age, I'd broken fifteen oaths to get into that without a second thought. Well, I have enough room in the Hall for you. We'll set the tents outside with food and ale for the rest of your men..."

Arabella came back to her place, being proud of herself for not letting his words into her. She didn't really care about what he told her, because she knew why she did what she wanted to.

"Thank you, m'lord." Robb nodded. The Frey stood up and clapped with his hands.

"Well let's get ready. The vine will flow red and music will play loud. And we'll put this mess behind us!"

<...>

Arabella and Robb walked into their chamber. "You did good." she smiled hugging him. He hugged her back.

"One more word and I would've..." he didn't finish his sentence because she kissed him. Robb placed his hands on her cheeks.

"I wish I could stay here with you and don't go anywhere." he mumbled pulling away from the kiss.

"Yes." she smiled holding him close. "Soon we will leave this place with his army and get to live how we always wanted." she nodded.

"I love you. And someone inside you." he stroke her belly with his hand and she looked down at it with a soft smile.

"I love you." she brought him closer and they hugged. Something inside was telling her to keep him as close as possible.
