Chapter 307

DOMERIC BOLTON POV

"So this is it huh…" he said as he looked at the large house in the middle of the forest.

The fact that a man could not only build such a large house in the True North but also live in luxury for decades said a lot about that said man.

"I always did wonder why there were no other boys in Caster's Keep." Ygritte said "People said that he killed any baby boy birthed to his daughter-wives. But he did not killed those boys."

"He sacrificed them to the Cold ones." Kalmyr said and backed away from where they were observing the large building.

He shook his head in disgust and backed away as well.

When his army had passed through this army in the 2nd expedition, the men of the Nights Watch had suggested staying a day in Castor's keep.

But once he heard that Castor had a harem of his own daughters whom he married and fucked… he was so disgusted by the idea that he had forbidden any of his men from going anywhere near Castor's keep.

The only reason why he did not kill Castor back then was because Lord Jeor Mormont told him that Castor often helped the Nights Watch by giving shelter and food to any ranger doing their mission in the True North.

Also, he was in a foreign land and did not felt justified forcing his own values upon someone else.

But if Castor was actively helping the White Walkers by supplying them with his own baby boys then that changed things.

After all, he knew that there was a huge difference in something that was willingly given and something that was forcibly taken.

A wand made out of Phoenix feather which was willingly given would be far more powerful than a wand made out of another Phoenix feather that was forcibly taken.

So a baby that was willingly given to the White Walker would be far more useful to them than another baby that was forcibly taken.

That was just how magic worked.

"What do you want to do now Domeric?" Ygritte asked as they went back to their place where their own army was in hiding.

He thought about her words for a moment and then sighed "I cannot allow Castor to continue supporting the White Walkers. He must die."

"What of his wives and daughters?" Kalmyr asked, a sick glint in his eyes.

"We're not raping those women." He said with a stern voice "And we're not pillaging the house."

"What do you want to do then?" Ygritte asked.

"Kill Castor. Take his wives and daughters South of the Wall. Give them their own homes with enough food and gold to last them until they're able to stand on their own feet. And build some defenses and use this place as a base against White Walkers."

After ten minutes of walking they finally reached their base.

"Did you found where the boy came from my lord?" Varko asked with the boy in his hands.

Seeing the greatest swordsman in Westeros holding a child with care was a strange sight but he took it in stride.

"Yes. It was Castor."

"What are we going to about him?" Varko asked and he told them the plan.

Half and hour later.

"YOU SONS OF WHORES!!!" Castor shouted as he was brought out of his house in chains "YOU THINK I'M AFRAID OF YOU. YOU THINK YOU'LL GET AWAY FROM THIS!!!"

He remained silent as the man was brought in front of him by the soldiers.

Castor looked at his helmet covered face for a moment and looked confused. Then he noticed the coat of arms his men were wearing and snarled.

"I know you. You're the one who went up North a year ago. What do you want now boy?"

"From you? Nothing."

"Then tell these bastards to release me before I bury a fucking axe in their neck."

"Seeing as I'm the one who told these men to capture you, there would not be much point in asking them to release you now would it."

Castor snarled at him "You're after my food. After my daughters. Is that it?"

"No. I don't want you food. And I don't want your daughters." He said "What I want is to know why you sacrificed your sons to the White Walkers."

"DON'T TAKE THEIR NAME!!!" the man shouted and fought against his men. His men didn't even budge.

Losing some of his patience he nodded to one of his guard who punched Castor in the gut and stopped him from making a nuisance out of himself.

Castor coughed a few times and he asked "Why did you sacrifice your newborn baby boy to the White Walkers? What did you gain by doing that? Did you have some kind of pact with them? Do you have any way to communicate with them?"

Castor looked at him in fear "How would you even know that?"

"I've my means. Now. Tell me what I want to know and I'll be sure to give you a swift death instead of a long painful one."

Instead of answering, Castor spat on his face "I ain't tellin you noting your little shit."

He waved his hand and removed the spit from his helmet.

Then he socked Castor in the stomach. The enhanced strength made the man bend backward before he emptied his lunch on the ground.

"Bring out the coffin." He told Baka who nodded and went to follow his orders.
