379 Chapter 379

ROBB STARK POV

Two days later

"What do you think happened here?" Jon, or King Jaehaerys Targaryen as everyone was calling him asked as they rode toward the Golden Tooth.

"If what the Lannister men we captured said was true, then a massacre." He said as he looked at the large piles of corpses being gathered and burnt by the Bolton soldiers.

"It is still hard to believe that Lord Bolton managed to defeat three whole Lannister armies on his own." Jon said, his voice filled with awe that probably everyone in the Northern army was feeling.

"Hmm…" he nodded "He defeated the army of the entire Westerlands on his own. And considering that the Westerlands have the second biggest army in the whole Westeros, that means a lot."

"I'm still not happy about him selling me off to the Tyrells." Jon grumbled.

He rolled his eyes "Oh yes. Now instead of going to the Wall and freezing your balls for the rest of your life, you get to sit on the Iron Throne and marry a beautiful lady from the richest House in Westeros. How could anyone suffer such a terrible fate."

Jon blushed at his words "I… If Lord Bolton took all the gold of House Lannister. Then shouldn't his house be the richest house in Westeros right now."

He knew that Jon was changing the topic but allowed him to get away this once.

"Probably." He said "But considering how he plans to use all that gold to support the war against the White Walkers, I'm not sure how long he'll remain in that place."

Jon nodded "I suppose being rich won't be of much help to anyone if the White Walkers break through the Wall."

"Suppose not." He said.

They rode in silence for the next few minutes as they passed by large pyres filled with corpses from Lannister army before he finally spoke "You think the rumors about Sansa being here are true?"

Jon looked at him, probably noticing the desperation in his voice and then lowered his head.

"I… hope so. If anyone can rescue Sansa and keep her safe then it would be Lord Bolton."

"But how would he even rescue her when she has been in Kings Landing all this while?" he asked.

Jon thought about his words for a moment "From what I'd heard. The Wyverns are pretty fast and fly for a long amount of time without tiring. And there are also all kinds of rumors about Lord Bolton having his own spies in Kings Landing."

He stayed silent for a moment and digested those words.

Jon's argument seemed weak but he just hoped that his sister was well and alive.

"What do you think happened to Lord Tywin?" he asked.

Jon noticed his quick change of subject and shrugged "Either dead of captured by Lord Bolton. It's doubtful that someone as competent as Lord Bolton would allow him to escape."

He nodded. That made sense.

"What do thing would happen to Lord Tywin if he was captured?" Jon asked him after a moment.

He thought about it for a moment and then frowned "Well… he did had the Mountain and Amory Lorch kill your half brother and half sister. The rape and murder of Elia Martell is also at his head. I guess since you're the king, you'll be the one making that decision."

Jon opened his mouth and closed it a few times before he asked "If Lord Bolton captured him then shouldn't he be the one who should decided what to do with his captives."

"Probably." He nodded "But you're the King now. So I suppose you could ask Lord Bolton for the captives."

"And worsen the relation with the man who destroyed the Lannisters on his own and made me the king in the first place?" Jon asked, looking at him like in disbelief.

He opened his mouth before closing it. "Yeah. Now that you put it like that, that idea seems pretty dumb."

Any further conversation stopped as the gates of Golden Tooth flung open and Lord Bolton along with his entourage came out to greet them along with th large army following behind them.

But it was neither Lord Bolton or anyone else in his entourage that caught his eye.

But the red haired girl following beside Lord Bolton in her own horse.

"Sansa." He said as a warm smile broke into his face and he galloped forward to greet his sister as quickly as possible.

They both climbed down from their horses and he caught her in a tight hug as tears threatened to fall down his cheeks.

"I'm so glad you're alright." He said as Jon as well as the other Lords from the North and Vale came from behind him.

Both parties stopped a slight distance from each other and he looked up and noticed Lord Bolton smiling at Jon.

Then lord Bolton gave a bow which was followed by the others in his entourage. "Your Grace Jaehaerys Targaryen. Golden Tooth is yours."
