"What is your dream?" He asks me and puts his hand above mine. I say nothing and instead stare at the starry sky.
"I don't have dreams... no more." I whisper sadly as I smile at him.
"I have wonderful suggestion." King Robert announces as he looks around the hall. The silence draws upon everyone as everyone looks at the king. "If Eddard agrees I want to marry our children!" He announces again and smiles.
I can see forced smile on Ned's lips and smirk. I look back at Sansa, whose eyes are sparkling while looking at the Prince Joffrey.
"Well... this was unexpected." Theon whispers next to me and smirks. I shake my head and smile at him, grabbing his hand and clenching it tightly. "Don't worry, Princess... no one is taking you away from me." He whispers again, making me to blush.
"I was wondering about..." Robert starts and looks at Ned. "Your eldest Daughter and my Joffrey... but the age difference is large." He tells me in saddened tone and I smile shaking my head.
"Not that big, your grace." Queen Cersei says in sweet tone and looks at me with motherly eyes. I look at Sansa, whose once sparkling eyes are full of grieve. I look at Ned, who seems at loss. Catelyn is eyeing me and then queen Cersei, not knowing to be happy or not.
"It would be wonderful." I say in forced tone, and look at Theon, who is gritting his teeth in anger. "But I am already promised to someone else." I announce and smile at King and Queen. "And even though age difference isn't that big, I don't think that Prince Joffrey is rather fancied by me." I say and smirk as I notice how Joffrey blushes when he is caught glancing at Sansa.
"May I ask who you are promised to?" King Robert asks me sadly and looks around the hall. I smile and open my mouth, but before I am able to say anything Theon stands up.
"She is engaged to me your majesty." He says as politely as he can manage in angry state. He protectively holds my hand and looks at me with yes full of love and care.
King Robert looks at me and then at Theon, his eyes scanning us as carefully as possible, as if he is thinking about something.
"Alright!" He says finally and smiles. "I approve of the marriage as I can see how happy Bianca is with you." He says and smiles at us. "Don't worry boy, no one is going to take her away from you." He assures Theon, who reddens immediately. "But if you hurt her..." his voice becomes dangerously low, which causes even Theon to gulp.
"Don't worry, your grace." Theon manages the words out and smiles at me. "I won't hurt her." King nods and we sit back at our chairs, sinking into each other's eyes.
"In that case, it is already decided that Lady Sansa Stark is going to be wed with Prince Joffrey Baratheon." King Robert announces and smiles at everyone at the table. Cersei looks at me with slight disapproval, but says nothing as slips the wine and shifts her gaze back at Sansa and Joffrey.

"You are engaged?" Ned asks me and Theon the second all the guests are taken in their rooms and only Starks and Theon are left.
Ned's gaze shifts from me to Theon then back to me. Robb is burning us with his eyes, while Sansa is jumping up and down from happiness. Arya is calming Jon down, so he won't kill Theon while Bran is holding confused Rickon. Mother is standing next to Ned, burning me with her gaze.
"When? Why didn't you tell it to us?" Catelyn starts and looks at Theon with disgust, which causes me to grab his hand tightly.
"How could you Theon?!" Ned asks again, doing his best to maintain his anger. I look at Robb, the only one who knew about our twisted relationship, but even he didn't suspect anything like this.
"N-father." I say in cold voice, which causes everyone to look at me surprised. I have never used this tone on anyone before. "We aren't engaged." I say in defeated tone. Ned looks at me confused and raises his eyebrows. "Theon helped me... I didn't want to marry Joffrey, he is too small and I don't even like him. So... I... we made it up." I admit it with blushed face and look down at my feet.
"Is it true?" Ned asks Theon, who nods as well and looks down in shame while our hands are still interwind. He looks at us for a long time, thinking about everything. "Do you really love her, Theon?" Ned asks suddenly causing both of us to jolt our heads up.
Theon blushes and starts stuttering, while I am not taking my eyes away from his face.
"Y-yes, M'lord." He whispers in a low voice and looks down, tightening his grip on my hand. I smile at him and blush myself.
"Bianca?" Ned calls me and I turn my attention from Theon to him. "Do you... love him?" He asks me with forced gentleness. I nod, blushing terribly. He sighs and nods. "Well then... you lied to King... now you have to get married sooner or later." He says in low voice, causing everyone to stop and look at him. He smirks, which is so unlikely of Eddard Stark. "If you love each other... I can't stand between you." He whispers and large smile breaks on my face while Theon looks at him with eyes full of gratitude.
Mother looks at Ned as if he has just grown Two heads and shakes her head, obviously disapproving his decision. She leaves the hall and Ned has no other choice, but to follow Catelyn. As they leave Robb and Jon approach us, their eyes full of strictness.
"If you hurt her..." Jon starts in angry voice and I smile at his antics.
"I will kill you, myself." Robb finishes and then both of them smile, playfully hitting Theon's back.
"Can our wedding be at the same day?" Sansa asks me in gleeful voice and hugs me tightly. "Both of us will wear long white dresses with gold and diamonds inside of them."
"Calm down." I giggle at her. "It is too early for you to think about it." I say at her and shake my head. "But yes, we can do it same day." I bring her hopes up again and she hugs me one more time, running somewhere to find her beloved Prince.
" I can't understand what she found in that jerk." Arya says in annoyed voice and hugs me. "Will I have to wear dress as well?" She asks me with horrified voice and looks at me and then at Theon, who laughs.
"No, we will wear boy's clothes, okay? Promise me that." I whisper in her ear in dreadful voice and shen nods, smiling at me. I take Rickon from Bran and pat his head.
"So... I will be uncle?" Bran asks me with innocence which causes me and Theon blush. Robb looks at Theon with death glare and I giggle uncontrollably.
"Not yet, Bran." I smile at him. " but maybe one day." I whisper in his ear and he nods. "So, until then you have enough time to become knight, hear that? You should be big and strong, so you can defend them." He giggles and nods at me.
"How do you know it won't be soon?" Theon whispers in my ear in low voice, causing me to shiver in strange feeling. I look back at his sea blue eyes and smirk.
"I just know." I whisper back and give him slight kiss on the lips.
