Song of Ice and Fire

Chapter Twelve

"Auntie?" I call her and knock on her door. The door opens the reveals her. I smile at her and she lets me inside her room. I jump on her bed and smile at her.

"What happened?" She asks me and raises her eyebrows. "You seem too happy."

"I am in love!" I announce happily and then lower my voice. "Don't tell anyone about it, okay?" She smiles, but nods at me.

"So, who is the lucky one?" She asks me and ruffles my hair. "Um is he one of Robert's brothers?" She tells me while recalls Sir Stannis and Renly. I shake my head and she continues thinking. "Is it... Loras Tyrell?" She smiles playfully and I still shake my head.

"Come on!" I whine and shake my head. "You should know it!" She sighs in defeat. "Okay I will give you hints!" I say happily and go near her. "He lives in islands! He has dirty blonde hair and his father and brothers have just visited grandfather!" Aunt looks at me with wide eyes and then starts giggling.

"Is it young Theon Greyjoy?" I start giggling and blushing. She smiles at me and hugs me tightly. "Don't tell it your father or he might strangle the poor boy."

"Why?" I ask her with wide eyes. "Father doesn't want me to marry him?"

"Not yet." She tells me and smiles. "And it is too early for you to marry anyone! And who knows maybe later you won't be in love with him?" She asks me and smiles at me softly. "Now tell me, does he like you back?"

"I don't know." I pout and look down at my hands. "He was looking at me and then we played together." I tell her with smiley face. "Does it mean he likes me?" I ask her hopefully, but she shakes her head.

"No not yet." She tells me and takes my hand. "Come, we need to be in the hall. I will watch young greyjoy for you in the dinner and tell you, okay?"

"Okay!"

Big Jon is a large man, who was the first to admit Robb as the Lord of the North. He was his new right hand man and they now are talking about the plans of the war.

"Lady Stark!" One of the Glovers calls me and I look at him. He smiles at me and kisses my hand. "It's wonderful to finally meet you." I greet him back and go nearer to Robb. He is one of the thousands who greeted me this way.

"Lord Robb." Lord Bolton walks forward and stops in front of Robb's throne. "There is one more subject I would like to talk about." Robb sits more comfortably and motions him to speak. Lord Bolton looks at me and gives me a tight smile. "As we all know, you have a beautiful sister, Lady Bianca, who has already reached the age of marriage." He informs everyone in the hall and smiles at Robb. "My son, Ramsey would be more than happy to marry your sister." Robb smirks and I rise my eyebrows. Other Lords start talking about their own sons and the whole hall is in chaos. I can feel Theon tensing beside me. He grabs my hand and tightens the hold on it.

"Lords!"  Robb calls them and they all get quiete. Everyone looks at him with waiting expression. "There is no need to... act like that." He says a little uneasily. "Thanks for your offers, especially you Lord Bolton, but... my sister is already promised to someone else." This causes another chaos to erupt.

"To whom if it isn't a secret?" Lord Umber asks and looks around the hall in hope to catch the lucky one.

"To me." Theon says loudly and angrily. His hold tightens and he looks at me with eyes full of love. "We are going to get married." He says loudly for the whole hall to hear.

I can catch a disapproval speeches around the hall, but no one dares to speak it loudly. Robb laughs uncontrollably and shake his head.

"Let's turn back on the main subject, shall we?" He asks a little irritated and smiles at them with a polite smile.

"I want to kill them all." Theon whispers besides me and I smile at his jealousy.

"Jealous, much?" I ask him and he looks at me with raised eyebrows.

"Do I have to be jealous?" He asks me and I shake my head, putting my head on his shoulder. "Then I am not." He smiles at me and turns his attention back to others.
