Chapter 250

"Do not blame your father." He said as realization dawned on Robb's face "The Boltons and Starks have a long history of rivalry. And with how much power I was gathering… he was worried. And did what he thought was right."

"He forced the betrothal upon you."

"For the sake of your future." He said "For peace. Something that I agree with even if I didn't liked Lord Stark's method of trying to attain peace."

Robb Stark looked at a loss for words for a long moment before he finally spoke "Did you love Ygritte before you were betrothed to my sister."

He nodded.

Robb Stark looked conflicted now. Not knowing who was the villain in this whole affair and whom he should blame. No one was in the wrong. Not really. Well, welcome to the real world.

"Sansa." Robb said in the end "She's heartbroken."

"I don't know when she even fell for me" He said "I certainly never even tried to court her when in Dreadfort. Teach her and educate her about my lands, yes. But I never tried to make a move on her. And with your mother's presence, things were already rather tense in the Castle back then." He shook his head "I truly have no idea why she even fell for me."

Robb gave him with an expression as if asking if he was retarded and he rolled his eyes.

"Oh, I know I'm decent looking…" Jon snorted at that "…and fairly wealthy…" Robb rolled his eyes at that "…and pretty good at using a sword."

"Enough…" Robb said "…You're making us look bad with all your humbleness."

"Okay… okay." He said "I think I can see why Sansa might fall for me. But… well, she's betrothed to the 'prince' now…"

"Who is a Lannister through and through. With the arrogance to match." Robb said and he smiled bitterly.

"Yeah. Our prince does have his fair share of qualities."

"None of which are good." Jon said with a frown.

"Yeah well… where is this talk even going. Is there something you two want from me?" he asked.

Robb looked sheepish at his question and then nodded "Sansa… she has not eaten anything since yesterday. I was wondering if you could…"

Gods no!!!

"Robb…" he interrupted with a serious expression "You must realize that I might have been betrothed to her once. But she is the betrothed of the Crown prince now. A girl who is destined to be the queen. And with how bad the situation with Lannisters is, how do you think it would look if I go to the room of the Crown prince's betrothed. How would people react if they learn that the man who was once betrothed to Sansa Stark, the man she still loves is meeting her in secret."

"Well…" Robb searched around for a proper answer but then his shoulder's slumped and he let out a tired sigh.

"I… I see. I'm sorry for wasting your time Lord Bolton." Robb said and left, his little direwolf trailing behind him.

"I… I should go after him." Jon said and left with Ghost as well.

He looked at th courtyard where a huge crowd had gathered to watch Varko and Baka spar against one another and sighed.

He knew that Robb would resent him a little for not even trying to help Sansa but… Don't stick your dick in crazy and all that.

He did not plan to interact with Sansa anymore after the last episode. And he was not going to change his mind in that regard no matter that.
