Another queen the king in the north

Chapter nine

Kaine was woken by the sun. It was weird; the sun was such a rare thing in where she was trapped. She blinked to adjust herself to her surroundings. The air was freezing as she breathed. Robb was gone. Yesterday he had napped on the edge of the bed where he had sat before, after the two talked for hours. Talked until theirs tongues were wound. Talked until their ears couldn't hear the words but just the sound of each other's voice. Talked away all the boundaries that were left between the two young people. It seemed like she had known him for some time. Now she knew every part of his soul and his dark sides which were quiet small, darkest things he had done was skin some animals and steal some pastries.

Kaine had grown found of Robb. Of the way he talked so very strong and sure and brave but still politely like the little boy he was. When her mind was taking in by tiredness she even saw little ginger haired babies in her imagination. Her babies with these fucking beautiful curls. But she knew that the people from the white isle had hair just as white as the beaches not snow white like the Targaryen's. But she knew that these beautiful and so peaceful images were not going to happen. Something inside her told her to be prepared for some bad; worse than everything her two colored eyes had ever seen before.

Her dainty fingers traced over a beautiful silk dress in the color of freshly pressed olive oil. Like a dream of spring with it's beautiful dainty flowers on it.

But she stopped and took instead the leather gear with it's beautiful patterns. Around her waist was the sword that she could show off but wouldn't. She was clever enough not to. A dagger finished the look.

Confidence tripped from her appearance when she skipped the breakfast she was very late to anyway and went to one of the training courtyards instead just because the sound of fighting attracted her. Her eyes found Theon and Jon fighting with training swords as Robb stepped towards her side.

"I see why we won the rebellion against the Westerosi" Kaine smirked to Robb as the other two recognised her as well.

"You're very much confident, little lady" Theon was to confident for his own good again, especially towards her.

"I can be. Seeing you fight like three year olds is quite amusing" She didn't move an inch as she said that."Also I'm a princess"

"I highly doubt that you're a better swordsman than I am" Theon continued making her raise her eyebrows before bursting into laughter.

"I highly doubt that you can be that confident considering that you're the product of a lost rebellion" Kaine killed the vibes with that sentence. "But you shall prove it" She held her hand out to receive the sword from Jon. Robb became suddenly more interested. He knew the stories about the white people but he highly doubted that they were true even though the unicorns already turned out to be very real.

Kaine tested the balance of the sword swinging it in her hand a few times as Theon started circling her already. As he tried to attack her she just stepped out of his way but did not move her foot that he landed with his face in the mud already. She earned laughter from Robb and Jon.

"If it'll be like that I can redo my hair while we fight" Theon grew angry as she continued her provocation towards him. Trying to get him angry and make him more mistake than his talentlessness already did.

Next Theon went for her legs with a little more grace this time which she just blocked until almost stabbing his foot warningly. She slipped out underneath his arm as he aimed for her. The auditorium laughed from the sidelines. Kaine moved her sword gracefully as if it was liquid around Theons sword snapping it out of his hand with ease. She was playing with him.

"Why don't you try lover boy?" She said towards Jon as Theon picked up the sword finally catching an opportunity to wipe the dirt of his face before strolling off towards Robb. Jon hesitatingly took the sword from Theon stepping towards her shyly. " I would understand if you'd say you're sore" Kaine used the provocation again. It made men angry and took their ability to act rationally to, if they ever did. It made them even weaker than they already were. He aimed much more gracefully than Theon but still to slow which made him almost land on the floor just as fast. This time Kaine got an actual fight with a few swords clinging but ended with Kaine disarming Jon completely again.

"You're a fine swords woman" He groaned as she helped him up with her warm smile. Robb stepped forward picking up the training sword as well.

"Thanks you and that with a strange sword" Everyone wondered how fine her own sword might be in her hand.

"I don't want to hurt you but I don't want to get hurt either" Robb chuckled awkwardly just before Kaine swung her sword towards his head which he just blocked. Robb was strong, she could feel it. He mastered the sword very well while Jon struggled with the weight of a long sword at times, Kaine saw that clearly. He could be a great fighter one day. Their fight seemed corrupted by emotion from both parties. They were both not on their actual limit due to their liking towards each other. In one swift movement Robb disarmed Kaine to press her against his chest tightly with the sword playfully on the back of her neck not meaning any serious harm. It was just a game. He was toying with her but she let him. Upsetting the man she was soon to marry or just bruising his ego wasn't on her agenda so she allowed him to have his victorious moment.

"You're happy about this proximity or is that a dagger down there?" She mocked him before launching towards his body to throw him over her head to finish the fight with him in the dirt after all.

"It was both, my princess" Theon scoffed as she held her sword towards Robbs throat just as playfully as he did earlier. He looked still stranded when she helped him up.

"At least one equal fighter" She said quietly so that only he could hear her fair thin voice.

Kaine impressed him more than anything ever did before. A beautiful flower with a serpent underneath.
