Two days later
Robb POV
'I'll kill them all, every last one of them' those were my thoughts as I had received the news of my fathers death along with Sansa and Arya being held hostage by the new king, "Robb stop your not getting to anything" those were my mothers words as she saw me hacking at a tree with a now dented sword, hugging me my mother starts whispering words of comfort in my ears making me cry even more.
"Don't worry we'll avenge your father and get the girls back" hearing those words I nod and start heading back to camp to further discuss plans with the other Lord's.
------------
"The proper course is clear we should negotiate peace with the new king, we could trade the kingslayer for Lord Stark's sisters" said Maege Mormont, to which Lord Glover retorts "The Lannisters killed our liege Lord and you want us to sue for peace, you must be mad", after their declarations all the Lords present started arguing until the Greatjon stood up "My Lords here is what I think about the king and peace <spits on the ground, and everybody laughs> why should we listen to some boy king who rules from his flowery seat in the south, what does he know of the Wall and the Wolfswood, hell even their gods are wrong, it was the dragons we bowed to and the dragons are gone" finishing his declaration everyone in the room laughs, suddenly he starts walking towards me, taking his sword out of its scabbard he kneels in front of me making, making my eyes go wide, "There is only one king I mean to bow to and it's the king in the North" hearing that Lord Karstark kneels as well saying "I'll have peace on those terms, the king in the North" one by one all the lords present kneel presenting their swords "The King in the North" "The King in the North"
"The King in the North".
Once the chanting dies down I declare "If you'll have me as your king then I'll take it, from now on the North is an independent kingdom, and we will never bow again" finishing my declaration everyone starts chanting and calling my name none louder than Theon.
----------- Same time Kings Landing
Stefan POV
'Bloody hell, this headache is going to kill me' those were my thoughts as the small council was constantly arguing now with the addition of Margaery seeing as she wanted to be a good queen, uncle Tyrion as the acting Hand, Lord Paxter Redwine as acting master of ships, Lord Tyrell as the new master of trade and finally prince Oberyn as the new commander of the rangers, which was a new group of people dedicated to the security of the Crownlands, clearing my throat everybody shuts up and look at me "For the moment, our priority is getting my uncle back from the Stark's, if we do so they have no way of making demands" seeing everybody nod at that I continue "Varys, get some of your little birds into the Stark camp and have them spread the word, that anybody who delivers my uncle to safety will be rewarded with a Lordship and a large castle" "And perhaps a suitable bride to go with it" aded uncle Tyrion making me nod and tell Varys to add that as well, "Your Grace just in case that fails allow me to send my daughters into the Stark camp, I taught them everything I know", "I agree to that, tell them that if they succeed they will be handsomely rewarded" nodding at that prince Oberyn stand up to leave the room, but before he can the doors are burst open, with my cousin Orys barging through it, while Ser Loras who was assigned as Margaery's kingsguard knight, tries to stop him.
"You can let him go Ser Loras" bowing the knight exits the chamber, "Now Orys what in the name of the gods made you barge through the door like that" bowing he apologizes "I'm sorry Your Grace, but this message arrived from Pyke a few minutes ago" handing me the message I start reading it, once I finish I stand up banging the table "Balon Greyjoy has declared himself king of the Iron Islands, and his forces are attacking the Reach <grits teeth> Pycelle send a message to my uncle Stannis and tell him to ready the royal fleet and meet the Iron born in battle, prince Oberyn have the city watch gather all the carpenters and people in need of job, and have them start constructing new ships, and also start recruiting new men for the city watch, the six thousand men won't do much in case of an attack"

Margaery POV
'The weight of the crown is already affecting him, and he's barely a week in' I thought looking at Stefan signing documents that are being passed to him by Trystane, walking over to him I start massaging his shoulder making him sigh in content, "You know, the Hand of the King is here for a reason I'm sure he'd be willing to lighten the load for you, and I could help you as well" sighing he answered me "Uncle Tyrion is already doing some work, mainly trying to find out who killed Ned Stark, and as much as I would like for you to help me, the Realm would never accept a woman signing documents in my name even if you are the queen" to that I can only sigh sadly and continue to rub his shoulders that is until a particular look on his face appears, one he only gets when he has a great idea, standing from his chair he looks at me "While you may not be able to sign documents or hold court, you can help me keep the people in the city happy, the people love you, your presence inspires them, with the war happening people are starting to get anxious you can probably calm them much better than me, and you could also help Sansa the poor girl has suffered enough with her fathers death and from what I've heard Joffrey is tormenting her for some odd reason".
--------- Gardens in the Red Keep
Margaery POV
As I was walking in the gardens I was able to spot Sansa sitting in a table with her handmaiden Shae I believe she was called and according to Stefan she was also Tyrion's lover, behind the both of them two Lannister guardsmen stood guarding Sansa, or more like they were making sure she didn't try and escape, "Sansa I didn't think to find you here" looking up said girl smiles at seeing me, before I could approach more one of two guardsmen said "By the queen's orders nobody is allowed to speak to the girl, so you'll have to leave" to which Loras immediately retorts "The queen mother you mean, Margaery was crowned along with the king, and as a kingsguard I'll have to ask that you don't threaten the queen least there be consequences" hearing that both guards look to each other noding they turn towards me before bowing and leaving, probably to tell Cersei of this, something that made me snort as if she could do anything.
Approaching I ask "Lady Sansa do you mind if we could talk in privately" hearing me the servant asks "Why do you wish to speak to her alone" smart girl and rather loyal as well, frowning at that Sansa tells her handmaiden "Shae, Margaery is the queen and my friend she wouldn't harm me, so please leave us I'll see you in my room" huffing at that she stands up huffing and leaving to do as she was told, once she left I sat down and started speaking to Sansa "I'm terribly sorry about your father, and I apologize I couldn't say this earlier I've been rather busy with my new responsibilities, and council meetings tend to leave one exhausted" tensing at that she answers me "You need not worry, it's perfectly understandable why you haven't been able to talk to me, and you don't have to apologize about my father, Joffrey says that he died because he couldn't protect King Robert and that i was karma for his sins" narrowing my eyes I answer "You shouldn't listen to Joffrey, your father was murdered for someones own gain although we don't yet know who exactly it was" widening her eyes she asks me "But why would Joffrey lie to me like that?, I haven't given him a reason have I?" I sigh at her naivety of the situation "Joffrey is still grieving the loss of his father, he probably said those things without meaning them" hearing that Sansa regains her young and innocent personality, and so we start speaking about other things that the regular ladies tend to talk about.
Authors note:
So Robb is still crowned king, and so is Balon, by the way Theon is currently in Pyke so Robb still sent him
