Harrenhal

In this war against kings, the only person who posed an immediate threat was Robb Stark. The other two who claimed to be a king have not made any attacks. Therefore, the Lannister force's attention was on them.

Tywin Lannister was a renown soldier that was in charge of keeping the forces from getting anywhere near the Red Keep. But Robb Stark was a force on it's own and his war council wasn't as seasoned as him.

They needed to think of a plan of a way to push him back because every victory would only strengthen the North. He needed some information and hopefully some weakness. This led him to question his cup bearer not knowing her true origins, which would put him in a very powerful position if he did.

"And what do they say of Robb Stark in the North?" He asked once she revealed where she was from after her first lie.

"They call him the Young Wolf." She admitted to them.

"And?" He spoke wanting more information.

"They say he rides into battle on the back of a giant direwolf. They say he can turn into a wolf himself when he wants. They say he can't be killed. They even mention him being backed by a black bear that is never seen but is more fierce than any force in Westeros." Arya recited all the whispers she heard.

When the young girl heard about her brother's advance against the South she saw hope. She even wondered if Jaidyn was beside him, mesmerized at the thought of a great lady warrior. But the thought dampened when she found out where Jaidyn really was until she heard the last bit. Even from the walls of Winterfell, Jaiydn was being talked about. It made her want nothing more than to be able to fight.
"And do you believe them?" Tywin pondered over her words.

"No, my lord. Anyone can be killed." She responded before she returned to her task.

But something had already stuck in his head. A black bear was oddly specific and there was only one house in Westeros represented by a bear.

It all began to make sense. Why the young boy had turned down various marriage proposals, because he was already married. And to a powerful house nonetheless. The Mormonts were praised at the strength of their warriors and normally wouldn't need a large number against attacks.

What Arya had revealed might have just given him an advantage.

Meanwhile, Catelyn Stark was trying to make her way back to her son's war camp after visiting with Renly Baratheon. The two had bartered an agreement only to him being killed that night. In the midst of the chaos that came quickly after she had pulled Brienne of Tarth from being unlawfully executed.
