"Jon?"

"Alba."

The two let out at the same time with disgust and shock in their voices. Kaine started laughing slightly as Robb keep his shocked and rather angry expression up.

"In the bloody courtyard aye?" Kaine asked as she went to high five her half sister.

"She-" Jon tried as his rather light skin turned the color of a ripe tomato. He looked to the floor as an attempt to get out of his misery his hands desperately trying to cover all of him.

Everyone seemed to ignore the fact that Alba and Jon were almost completely naked. Alba more than Jon nevertheless but still everything was visible but neither Robb nor Kaine let their eyes wander.

She almost felt like a whore as she was obviously the top of them both and took the lead. If Jon was going to blame her he was going to die in that night.

"We shall get back" Robb saved the two bastards as he took Kaine's arm slightly his touch burning her skin in the cold of the night. For a second the blonde just glared at him lost in her mind. As her spirit ran circles around nothing and anything.

"Ya we shall" She snapped out of her trance with a weak smile on her beautiful lips. "Oh bloody hell" She gasped as she let her hands cover her face.

"Welcome in Winterfell" Robb mumbled awkwardly as he made the same move as she did.

"Oh bloody hells. Two bastards what an epical picture. I'll never get that out of my head" Kaine snickered a little to herself.

"How you take the awkwardness of the situation and turn it into an 'epical picture'" Robb laughed with her. The more they grew comfortable around each other the more they liked each other.

"Two bastards from obviously big houses fucking, how can't that be epic?" Kaine chuckled as the noises of people partying inside made her face curl up in dislike.

"You don't like the feast don't you?" Robb asked as he watched her sweet features as she frowned.

"I really don't but I'm queen to be so I have to show myself" She signed as the stood in front of the door that opened and closed as people trailed through it busy with their own; too busy to pay attention to the princess and the lord. 

"My lady I could excuse you and me because I have to confess I like your company, I could just steal you away without anyone in there noticing" Robb said nervously looking towards her carefully.

"I'd love that" She smiled as she felt the same as the young lord Stark. He wasn't annoying or to quiet. Kaine couldn't wait to get to know more of him. Every of his secrets and every inch of his soul. They seemed almost like puzzle pieces fitting perfectly into each other or rather forming perfectly for each other.

Robb and Kaine stepped back in the big hall with their smiles back on their faces. A few eyes followed every of their movements.

"My ladies I have to excuse myself from the feast because I'm still tired from the journey but it was a pleasure" She nodded as she stepped towards the big table where lady Cat and lady Cersei sat. Both smiled fake even if there was something worried in the look of lady Cat.

"I'll escort lady Dantis to her chamber"  Robb added as he smiled towards his mother reassuring.

"What a good, honorable son you have" Cersei commented as they watched the two of them walk off. "A pity that he's to marry to such a barbaric lady"

"Lady Dantis seems like a good lady to me" The former Tully lady said not impressed from lady Cersei much to her dislike. She wanted to make people fear her.

"At least they're promised considering that this lady probably isn't...pure anymore" Cersei continued with her snake-like sharp voice.

"As I said Lady Dantis seems honorable" Cathleen was about to scoff but instead she smiled towards the queen. 

Robb walked next to Kaine nervously for whatever reason. He wasn't nervous when they were bringing Arya to bed but now they were alone. Maybe he was nervous that they would follow the fate of Jon and Alba.

Kaine forced herself to stay calm as she actually was about to be just as nervous as Robb.

The blonde smiled as she opened the door for Robb to go into her chamber that was already lit by a few candles.   Robb stepped inside admiring the coziness.

He did make the first step towards her small frame as she started taking off a layer of her dress as she grew hot in the tiny room filled with thick air.

She turned around to see Robb standing there like a lost puppy as the flames made him look much older, more mature than he already was.

"Aren't you hot Robb?" Kaine asked as she turned to him in her rather thin underdress but that didn't bother her because she was comfortable with him, considering him not as a threat.

"Oh bloody hell I am" He confessed slowly untying his tunic. It was quite embarrassing that he failed at it.

"Wait" She laughed shyly taking more pressure out of their mood. They got more and more comfortable. Her thin fingers for sure untied it faster.

The blonde snickered as she looked at Robb as he stood there also just in his shirt smirking either.

She sat down on her bed as if she was done with her part and was now just waiting for the fate to do something.

"You're not going to do anything aren't you?" Robb chuckled as he sat down on the edge of the bed his back to the wall and his legs crossed.

"I guess we should like may as well continue talking and getting to know each other since we're thrown into this wedding. At least you seem kinda nice. I mean you could be ugly or fat or blind or all of it" Kaine said as she slipped under the furs but regretted it immediately since the blankets were even hotter.

"How many times are you going to mention that we're promised?" Robb signed but laughed as he continued admiring her in the dimly light.

"It's not a daily-day problem" Kaine moved towards Robb again to look at him closer once again.

"You are considering it as a problem?" He chuckled but he was clearly hurt inside.

"It means I'm going to be queen and you're going to be king and that's like the worst case that could happen to me" She gestured wildly with her hands in the air.

"You're going to be powerful" Robb tilted his head with that smile playing on his lips. 

"I don't want to be" She had such a sweet voice in that night as she complained. "It feels like all this pressure is just coming down on me right now and it terrifies me"

"Things in this world are not that easy, it's not about what you want but about what you have to do. It's about duty"
