CHAPTER SEVEN
| union of two houses
Julina Lannister wed Robb Stark with no fear in the godswood, standing beside the weirwood, heart tree. At first she had been vary of marrying under a faith she did not follow. It was not her faith, nor her fathers or family. But she was willing to marry a man she cared for under the faith he so believed in.
Regardless, her faith in the seven never had been that strong anyhow.
Robb held his hand out to her which Julina gladly accepted as she felt the stares of the northmen. She was dressed in a gown that fitted her figure like a glove, her sleeves was made out of silk making them flow gently after the slight breeze in the air.
The septon begun to speak, his face towards the lords and ladies watching the union."We stand here today to unite the houses Stark and Lannister," the septon looked at Julina and Robb. "You may now cloak the bride and bring her under your protection,"
Julina turns slowly, allowing him to pull off her Lannister cloak gently. She felt heat rise to her cheeks as she felt his hands stay a moment more, causing a flutter to go to her spine. He pulled his Stark cloak off his shoulders, laying it gently on Julina's shoulders making her sigh out a relief as she had nearly frozen to death without any cloak.
They faced each other again and connected their hands. "We stand here in the sight of the gods and men to witness the union of man and wife; one flesh, one heart, one soul, now and forever,"
The couple holds hands, standing side by side, their eyes on the other as the Septon ties their joined hands with a red ribbon. "Let it be known that Robb of house Stark and Julina of house Lannister are one heart, one flesh, one souls. Cursed be he who would seek to tear them asunder,"
Julina felt her lips quiver as she realized that it was time to say their vows. She felt the nerves coming through but pushed them as aide as Robb sent her a tight grip as a pledge.
"Father, Smith, Warrior, Maiden, Crone, Stranger. I am his and he is mine. From this day, until the end of my days," Julina said muttering intensity as Robb uttered the same. She could feel her heart go faster, her hands wet of the nerves as she knew what Robb would say.
"With this kiss, I pledge my love," he announced. He brought his hand to her neck and gently stroked her, his eyes looking for her consent. She sent him a smile urging him to go on. His hand on her cheek, he brought his soft lips to her plump mouth as he kissed her softly.
The sound of applause and clapping was what stopped their kiss and Julina and Robb shared a look.
Their eyes never lost their gaze from each other as Robb bound their hands and turned to the prying eyes on them.
"The King and Queen of the North!" They suddenly began to chant, making her let out a chuckle, her soul filled with happiness.
She felt Robb stroke her hand and felt the love consume her. She was dozed the moment she had first laid eyes upon him. Robb Stark was her end, and she was willing to either live or die for it.

"Are you enjoying yourself?" Robb questioned, his eyes on the large crowd inside the hall.
Throughout the whole feast she and Robb had been given gifts of all kinds, from fur to silver, to books to wine. She knew Robb was not overly fond of wine as she herself wasn't fond either. The thought of wine only let her mind wander to Cersei, and she would always be in a bad mood whenever she had drunk.
But now, Julina sat with her hands on her lap, unable to eat any of the appetizing food in front of her due to her fear of the bedding ceremony. She didn't want to give Robb any more trouble, but it did not make you feel safe.
She sent Robb a weak attempt of a smile which Robb catched easily.
Robb grabbed her hand and locked their fingers, his blue gaze staring at you. "Tell me," he asked in a gentle voice. She could tell he was nearly begging her.
Julina sighed, looking around. "It's the bedding," she said simply, hoping Robb to the hint. And he did.
Suddenly, he unlocked their fingers and grabbed her arm gently causing her to turn to him. She was about to ask him what he was doing when she saw the grin upon his face, but didn't manage to as Robb beat her to it.
"What if we didn't do the bedding ceremony? What if we left now, no one would notice," he was right. No one would notice. And Julina was more eager to walk away with Robb and her clothes intact rather then have dozens of Lord's hands groping her body.
"Are you sure no one would inject for a witness?" She asked, looking at the crown uneasy.
Robb shook his head as he helped Julina stand up. "I would rather they not lay their hands on you. Besides I am their king, they do as I say,"
She felt herself smile, her arm enveloping in his. Looking at Robb, she could feel her heart skip a beat, she could feel her body want to give into her desires. But most of all, it was her mind that convinced her to fall for him.
For Robb Stark was easy to fall for, very easy.
