CHAPTER 89
286 ac
it has been a week since my punishment. I have been in my room, spending my time in the training space. So people wouldn't get suspicious of me. I kept acting like I was still hurt. I contacted all of my familiars to get a mission update from them. Poe and Erebus were keeping watch at sea, and wet rats had come one more time for wood, and they were able to raise the number of their murder to 60 each.
Lyka and Berus were able to raise their pacts too. Lyka was able to dominate 30 wolves, and Berus found ten wild and stray dogs. In the North, it was hard to find stray animals in winter people were tempted to eat them rather than starve. Lyka had reached her maximum pact number.
Imu had found 30 Icicle snakes, too, but he couldn't max his pact since icicle snakes are hard to find. When I have time, I could go to Wolfswood and help him.
The unluckiest was Sith, with most of her own kind living on the other side of the wall or in the Vale mountains. She was able to find three adults and two newborn cubs. Within a year, the offspring could have grown to almost adult size, but other shadowcats were really hard to find.
All of my four-legged friends had grown as big as a tiger, and they all started developing abilities. They become impervious to arrows, and Sith could move without making any sound and erase her presence. Right now, she was standing behind a deer, and it was unaware of her. I broke my connection with her and got out of my room.
Now I was able to sense and share sight with my familiars in 700 km (435 miles). I was curious if I would be able to sense her with heat sight or Promodynes ( locate animals ). As for Lyka and Berus, their ability was more straightforward, which significantly boosted their speed and strength. After confirming everyone's progress, I started going toward the kennel because Robb and Jon asked to meet there.
POV SANSA STARK
My mother hasn't spoken to me for a week, my wish to learn archery before Aermir was whipped made my mother very angry, and of course, I had some hurtful words towards her because I was angry that she had Aermir whipped. Mother continued behaving like a child and walked away whenever she saw me.
When I entered the great hall, Mother was observing the preparations. She saw me, but she ignored me again without saying anything, and we were both doing what we had to do while ignoring the existence of each other. Mother suddenly threw the plate she was holding onto the ground, and it broke with a loud noise. She said in a loud voice.
"Everyone out!"
All the servants hurriedly left the great hall and closed the doors.
"How could you do this to me? I would have expected this from Arya but not from you!"
"I didn't do anything to you, mother."
"You betrayed my trust, you insulted the seven with your action, and you acted like a wild woman and asked to be a warrior."
"I didn't ask to be a warrior mother. I'm not Arya, and I'm not you. Someone wise once told me I don't have to follow the old gods or the seven if it feels wrong to me. I don't have to contort to the shapes others ask of me. I have to live my life as I wanted to."
"How dare you talk like that? It is unbecoming of a lady."
"Don't get me wrong, mother. I like my ethics lesson or sewing, but I like archery too. If it saddens you, I can't do anything about that. I have decided to live my life as I wanted until I have to do my duty as a Stark and marry who my father asks of me."
"Who are you? What happened to my Sweet Sansa!"
"I'm still me, and I still want to be a queen. Who wouldn't want to? But I'm not going to be a caged bird. Until I have to settle, I'm going to live as free as possible. as that person recommended me."
POV MC
Robb and Jon were waiting for me at the entrance to the kennel, and they had devilish smiles on their face. Both of them raised their hand in the air and said.
"For the Old Gods and the North!"
"Ohh! fu..."
I stopped myself and looked around. I can take the lashing, but it doesn't mean I enjoy it. I'm not a masochist. When I saw there was no one around, I said.
"Fuck you two! Open your ass and laugh at that! It still hurts to move, and our young lords asked this pitiful commoner to come to their feet."
When I said that, I could see Robb's face become a bit regretful, and he said.
"I'm sorry for the way my mother treated you. You know she is actually a good person, but she is very attached to The Seven and the Southern way of thinking. In time, she will see how much of a good person you two are."
"Anyway, let's leave the depressive issues behind. Why did you call me here? Do you want to compete on how to train dogs again?"
Robb couldn't help but laugh slyly even though he tried hard not to, and he led me to the back of the kennels. When I came in front of the kennel, I saw that there were five puppies inside, but when I looked a little more carefully, they looked like wolf cubs, but they did not have skinny bodies and long thin heads like Lyka when she was a cub. These were puppies with huge paws and big heads for their bodies. Cold water poured down my back suddenly, and these were dire wolf cubs.
"We found them a moon ago while we were coming from a patrol, and we have one for every one of my siblings. He got in, picked up the one with a fully grey body, and said.
"This is Gray Wind, and he is mine."
All I could say was
"FUCK!!"
