Betrayal and Lovers news

Cersei was horrified as she rode on the horse back to the gates with Joffrey who was frightened. As she looked behind them, she saw dozens of riders chasing after them and saw the thing that made her blood run cold. As the riders raised bows, she saw between them her father impaled lifeless on a rock spear from the ground. "NO!!!!!!!" Her wails only brought more fright to the young king whose eyes were starting to moisten due to fear.

Arrows flew through the air and the guards atop the walls of King's Landing could do nothing as Cersei and Joffrey stumbled off the horse that had fallen due to being caught in the fire. The riders came closer only to see Cersei's leg bent unnaturally as she cried but gritted her teeth from the pain. Joffrey was crawling away, a black ugly bruise was forming on his left side of the face from where he hit it upon landing. The two were grabbed and brought back gently to Alexios and the others who were discussing their plans. Cersei looked at the man who had caused this and couldn't help but scream out at him.

"Who do you think you are, you barbarian, this is your king! You should kneel now and we might let your family live!" Alexios could only have a stoic face while thinking if she hit her head in the chase. "I will do no such as I have won this little game you all started and now I will make Westeros better for it but first."

With his words a few guards appeared escorting Jaime Lannister to them who when seeing Cersei's state tried to rush to her with no success. Alexios let the three commune and embrace in each other's comfort before stepping closer. "You will be held in court tomorrow morning, we will be taking King's Landing tonight." His words made Jaime gulp and Cersei gaze at him with a murderous intent. Only Joffrey was the one showing the most fear, a spineless whelp who could only beat on the weak.

As the Northern Army was facing across from the walls of King's Landing, Alexios gave the go ahead. If this was a normal battle then everything would have gone smoothly but unfortunately some people do not value their lives. Roose Bolton along with a few other nobles had decided to enact on their plan for a greedy agenda. The traitors at the back and King's Landing at the front. Tyrion looked down from atop the walls with a smirk but also with concern in his eyes.

"Light them aflame and lets see if we can win this battle shortly." Hell descended upon the Northern army as the front lines were screaming in pain with wildfire as a small explosion led to a cause and effect of shattering the front lines. Alexios gazed upon the scene in horror never thinking this would happen before dodging a spear that was directed for his chest. His red eyes appeared maddening as he grabbed the spears shaft and pulled the soldier closer before grabbing his neck and snapping it as he gritted his teeth.

The battle was long and agonizing since after the wildfire was gone, the soldiers and mercenaries of King's Landing came out to assist the traitors of the Northern army. Alexios ordered William to take Nymeria to face against the Lannister forces as he dealt with the traitors which gained him a nod in approval. The traitors were being cut down but with the surprise attack, they had good positioning and were able to kill a few thousand before suffering large losses. Alexios rallying the men and pushing back led to the traitor's eventual downfall as he was cutting his way through.

Blood and dirt were being shuffled across the battlefield wherever one looked. Screams and wails from pain and confusion echoed across the bloody field of death. Alexios tired and bloody, walked his way ever close to the cause of it all. Roose Bolton stared in horror at Alexios before trying to make his retreat away. Alexios, having no time, just grabbed a spear from the ground and heaved it with all his strength at the fleeing man in the distance. The whistling of the wind as the spear passed only to end with a loud crunching and squelching sound till you see Roose Bolton dangling from the spear that was embedded into the ground.

The traitors now hopeless cause as only a few hundred were left surrendered and were captured for later judgement. Alexios started to make his way back to the Lannister side of the battle only to see them retreating and cradling a woman in his arms. The worst possible outcome that could happen was she had passed and Alexios all but knew why William would be devastated with that. No one wishes to see the one they love leave the lands of the living.

William approached Alexios's tent and asked to speak with him much to Alexios's agreement. William sat down and shuffled uncomfortable as Tyene kept staring at him till he couldn't take it any longer. "Why are you staring at me?" "Why haven't you married Nymeria yet?" The only reply he got that surprised him and caused him to think.

Alexios seeing the exchange couldn't help but laugh at it before he sat at the table. "So William, what is it you wish to speak about?" William still lost in thought at that moment finally broke distance and prepared his reply. "I wish for Nymeria to return back to Snake Mount." To say Alexios was shocked was an understatement as he was confused why.

"She is pregnant with a child… my child, so please allow her to return back to Snake Mount."

Alexios's lips curled upward into a smirk before coughing loudly. "Ahhh, I was wondering when I should expect a little one from you two or from Toros and Obara first haha!" William was flabbergasted before recollecting himself with a slight smile as he gazed at his boisterous friend. "She can leave whenever she wishes, my friend. This war will not last much longer in any case."

Nymeria gazed onto the field that would hold the battle to possibly end this war. "Do you think it will really be over tomorrow like Alexios said?" "I believe whatever he says as he has never told a lie no matter how many words he avoids saying. If he says something will be done then it will be done. Are you sure I can not convince you to leave before this battle, this of our child's life if not for your own."

William pleaded with Nymeria but received no response as she was gazing now at the open sky before them. "The world is changing William, as we all are. I never believed I would have a child till we found out and now a Northern king will be on the Iron throne. Will he even stay in King's Landing or will he do something different again, are we even valuable to him anymore in his grand plans." "Alexios sees us all as family, he always has for as soon as you are able to become a blood guard, you are his family no matter what happens."

As William spoke, he also questioned the changing times but shook it off for a later time. "I will leave after this next battle is over. It would be better to see the result with my own eyes instead of worrying." William chuckled and put his arms around his waist as his chin rested on her shoulder from behind. "Do you have so little faith in me? My heart is cracking from your words."

Nymeria kissed his cheek before quipping, "Last I checked your heart is as cold as the North lands you came from haha." William feigned shock before remembering something. "Oh but as the snow has melted and the fields are starting to green, so has my heart for you my love." "Oh that was a good one, still as sly as always, no wonder I'm pregnant." With those words she laughed followed by William's own laughter as the two enjoyed each other's company.

William wailed for Alexios to come and that he did in short fashion. Nymeria had a spear through the leg and a javelin in her left shoulder while a large gash went across her face from a diagonal point. The gash was from the left side of the forehead downward to her right side of the jaw. It was obvious she was probably separated and had to fight multiple opponents. He quickly took out the broken spearhead from her thigh and the javelin from her shoulder as William began wrapping bandages on her. Alexios focused every ounce of power he had left as a white golden hue emitted from his hands offering a warm and comfortable feeling to those around.

Nymeria's wounds began to heal but it was obvious she would have some large scars to accompany her from now on. The healing took about a half an hour before Alexios could stop and her breathing stabilized. William's dry eyes never left her face as he moved some of her hair behind her ear and kissed her forehead. He picked her up into a princess carry and took her to a tent to rest with a group of soldiers to set up a perimeter around the tent so no one could try anything. Alexios wasn't able to see him again as William stayed with Nymeria to watch over her.

"Everyone, let's get back to camp. Everyone must be tired and we need to regroup and plan our next move. Gather the dead and lay them next to each other as we will have a pyre for the deceased. Get some volunteers to strip them of the armor and weapons then dress them in a white robe. Robb, come talk to me after you go wash up, we have a lot to talk about."
