Trigger warning: slight abuse

Marienna raised her head to look at her husband as he left the bed, they called him for something important, he said. She insisted on going but he refused. They were on better terms, not a happy little couple, of course. But they were better, he would hold her at night and kiss her. She could smile and snuggle close to him at night. But she knew one thing....it was too good to last, you would cherish this time though. They would cherish it together.

Robb was called by Edmund himself, he had gotten dressed quickly and rushed to where the others were. When he got inside the room he found his mother, who he had freed, and....Talissa there. Why was Talissa here? Then he remembered....his mother always favored Talissa over Marie....so instead of calling the true queen she called the lover? It didn't make much sense. When Lord Karstark came in he glared at all of them

"Look at them!" Robb commanded and glared at the older man in front of him

"Tell your mother to look at them too, she killed them as much as I "Lord Karstark growled and glared back at the young wolf. Then he realized something...the young queen wasn't here

"My mother had nothing to do with this, this was your treason"

"It's treason to free your enemies, and war to kill your enemies. Did your father not teach you that boy?" The Karstark asked angrily earning himself a punch from Blackfish "leave me to the king. Will he give me a skull before he sets me free? That's how he deals with treason, 'I, king in the north'. Or should I call him...the king who lost the north?"

"Escort Lord Karstark to the dungeons, hung the rest" Robb said sternly, showing o emotion

"Please I didn't kill anyone! I just watched!" A man from behind shouted

"This one was only the watcher, hang him last so he can watch the others die" he finished and turned around walking back to his chair. He glanced at Talissa

He didn't know if he had made a mistake or not, all he knew that he had to be just. He had to serve justice, he had to punish treason....he had speared his mother though. She had down far worse treason than Lord's and he knew it but decided to ignore it.

As they talked, Robb realized something. He had taken a big decision without Marie even being in the same room...yet he ignored that too, she wouldn't judge well. She just wouldn't have.

"You need his men-" Talissa was saying when the gates burst open and the queen entered not really pleased.

Marienna had leant what happened when she saw the guards hanging the Karstark men, she stopped them of course. She instead ordered them to be taken to the dungeons until she and only she decided otherwise. She was angry, mad. How could Robb even taking decisions like those without her knowing? When she entered the room and found Talissa in there she clenched her fists

"Good thing they are all to the dungeons then and not dead! Because killing his nephews would be just as stupid as killing him!" She said and stormed to the table her husband was sitting

She slammed her hands on the wood glaring at Robb, how dared he not telling her? How dared he killing one of the biggest house that supported them? How dared he....how dared he bring Talissa in such a serious matter, a simple lover, Instead of her?The queen.

"Why wasn't I informed and why is everyone else in this room except me?" She asked angrily in a threatening tone at him and he stood up from his chair

"Watch your mouth woman....and you spared them?! I had given some orders!" He yelled and got closer to her

"And I gave other orders! You know why? Because I didn't agree with the former ones? Why? Because I wasn't fucking informed about anything!" She said angrily and looked at her

"Be careful how you speak to your king" Catelyn said and looked at the young girl

"You....don't get involved in this, because I bet that you invited her here instead of me. Because it's your fault we are here now!" She said

"How is it my fault?!" Catelyn yelled and anger flashed in her eyes

"If you hadn't freed that damn Lannister we wou-" she started saying until Robb cut them off and looked at his wife

"Go and order my men to hang them and follow my orders or else" he started

"Or else what? I am your wife, I am the queen. I lead the army, our army. I win your wars, I put up with you being unfaithful and now you want me to obey you? No! I shall kneel to neither gods, nor men" she said proudly

"You are not a dragon your grace though, you shall kneel to your king" Talissa said and looked at her "as we all do" she said and looked at her

"The Targaryens weren't the only ones who knelt to nor gods nor men. If you spent half the time you do fucking my husband, on reading you would know that" Marie said and glared at the older woman. Not that much older, some years only but still. She took some steps closer "but it's more thrilling to order men than fuck only one....so better be a queen than a slave" she said and smirked

This made a slap come to her cheek, when she looked at Robb she gasped. Did he just slap her? She was shocked, betrayed. He had claimed he loved her...not his little Talissa. She was left with her mouth slightly open while holding her cheek. How dared he? She would have left the same moment if it wasn't for a small detail....where would she go?

Robb was shocked himself too, what had he just done? Slapped his woman? Slap Marienna? The girl he loved so much....? But she had talked so bad for Talissa....she spoke like Talissa was nothing while she wasn't....Talissa meant much to him and he wouldn't put up with Marie treating her like shit.

"The next time you raise a hand on me, will be the last time you have hands" she said coldly looking into his eyes, her eyes slowly filling with tears....she had wasted her time trying to be good, trying to heal herself. Trying to be a wife, a soldier, a queen and that was how he thanked her for everything?

"Lord Karstark is under my protection now, he will be held in the dungeons until I command otherwise. Everyone who shall not listen to my orders will end up dead. The men who killed the boys will loose their good hand. And the watcher will be exiled to Essos" she said sternly at the guards and then glanced at Robb "you might be the king but I am the queen, our authority is the same" she finished

Walking out of the room she slammed the doors behind her leaving the rest stunned. Talissa dared to glance at Robb, who was shocked with himself. He looked at her too, did he just slapped his wife for speaking the truth? He looked down ashamed of himself, right now he didn't care if Lord Karstark would end up dead or alive. He sat down and sighed, he ran a hand through his hair and looked at his mother who shook her head

"You can all leave now..." he whispered and turned his attention to the papers in from of him again.

Marie was in their room, she sat on the bed as she cried. Where did she go wrong again? She put her face in her hands and let it all out. All the pressure she felt, the betrayal and now....the slap. She loved Robb but something had died inside her. She could tell, then she looked up and at the sun. How she wished she could just get out and enjoy the warm feeling of the sunlight on her skin. For one last time. As the tears stopped and she had her eyes closed she heard the door open she immediately knew who it was....

Robb entered the room and opened the door gently as he looked at his wife, the love of his life. His sun, the sun of the North. His Marienna. He slowly walked towards her, she had her eyes closed. He could feel the tension in the room, the silence was a killer. He knelt next to her and looked down not daring to look at her face. He had embarrass her....disrespected her. His father would have killed him for that.

"Forgive me....please" he whispered and tried to take her hand in his but she yank it away

"Why....? You don't even need my forgiveness, Robb. You already do as you please" she whispered and opened her eyes looking down at him "look at me" she commanded, her eyes filled with tears

Robb raised his eyes to stare at her, what he saw broke his heart. He closed his eyes and let his mistakes sink deep. What had he done? The question repeated itself in his head, when he opened his eyes he reached out with his one hand slowly to not scare her. At first she moved back a little but then sighed and let him. He wiped her tears from her cheeks gently and sighed

"Please, Marie....I can't live with this guilt. Please forgive me, I will never, ever do it again. I am so sorry....I don't know what came over me just.....please" he whispered desperately while looking into her eyes, those eyes he had fell so desperately in love with

"I want to let you live with this guilt, I want you to die while you think of the wrongs you did to me. I want to be your nightmare, the guilt that won't let you sleep at night....I....but damn it Robb, I can't do it. I will never be able to do it, not to you" she said and sighed as she took his hand in hers and stroked it gently

"You still love me right?" He whispered, he sounded so vulnerable. And Marienna knew exactly the words that would crush him once and for all. All she needed to do was look him in the eyes and lie, tell him she never loved him or that she just stopped...

"Of course I still love you, do you still love me?" The question came out of the mouth more coldly than she indeed it to be

"I will love you until the sun rises from the west and sets to the east" he whispered and kissed her cheek, he then looked into her eyes and when she nodded he hugged her close to him, yet really gently.

She hugged him back and pulled him close to her, feeling him next to her calmed her. Her husband, her wolf, her lover, her king....her soulmate. Maybe after all the wise were right, some souls knew each other....some souls were in love with each even though the people who carried them didn't know it, or didn't understand it yet. But Marienna and Robb now understood. Now they knew

"Do you believe in fate...? Do you believe that two souls have a fate, a fate to fulfill. Not for the county, not for ambition, not for glory, not for gold....but for themselves, for each other?" Robb whispered in her ear as he stroked her hair and held her in his arms

"Yes...I believe that souls are brought together for a reason" Marie answered and looked up at him smiling a little

"I think that we were brought together for a reason too....and I know, that my body might fade to dust and my bones will be buried in the ground. But my soul will remain" he started and stroked her hair, his eyes never leaving hers "and I promise you, I will find you. In our next lifetime, in a thousand years. In any version of our world, I will find you and I will always choose you over anything else. Because my soul is yours" he finished and leaned o her lips kissing her

Marienna couldn't describe what she was feeling, she had never heard Robb talking so openly about his feelings. But she felt the same so none of those mattered, she kissed him back. Slowly but lovingly. With her one hand on his cheek and her other on his thigh she knew. Her souls was his and his souls was hers, the others didn't mattered. It was the truth. The only truth both of them knew

Herastus spotted a figure running in the dark around the castle, he frowned and ran after the person. Only to find Ser Jorah, he frowned. What was he doing? He saw him holding the box with the dragon eggs....he caught him and the box fell to the ground with a loud bang, looking at the man who were under their protection for awhile now along with Viserys Targaryen. Only that....Viserys died, three days ago. Every member of the royal family in Pentos mourned him and so did the common people. So the last dragon was dead.....the Targaryens were officially gone

"What are you doing? Where are you taking the dragon eggs?" He asked while Jorah stopped and looked at the young prince, he sighed. He figured that Herastus would understand him....and he couldn't trust the prince with the truth, or maybe he could

"I am taking them to their rightful owner" Jorah said calmly and picked up the bow before Herastus stopped him and they locked eyes for a moment, death glaring each other

"And who is that?" Herastus asked in a sarcastic tone "the last 'rightful' owner is dead....the Targaryens are gone, the dynasty is over....there is no other Targaryen alive" he said and raised an eyebrow

"Oh but there is....the Targaryen bloodline didn't stop with Viserys, there is someone else...." he started and that made Herastus loosen his grip and Jorah took back the eggs

"Wait....you are telling me that there is another...another Targaryen alive?" He asked shocked and his eyes widen "who?" He asked

"You already know her....The queen in the North. Marienna Stark" he said and saw the pure shock in his eyes "Rheagar and Elia's daughter.... I am one of the seven. One of the seven that know. That know the truth" he said and looked at him "now....will you help me to take those eggs to the last Targaryen standing?" He asked

"....yes, we should" Herastus said after some times and looked up at the sky and the moon. Marienna....the woman that had stolen his heart....and never gave it back.

Now he understood...the pale skin that desire she had to be close to the fire. He understood why she unintentionally called herself the sun....she was half Martell, half Targaryen. A power match and she was the child of a powerful match. And she was....she was the heir. The rightful heir of the throne. Of the Iron Throne. The daughter of Rheagar Targaryen

"Let's go find Maegal" Jorah said finally and they got in the boat he had prepared, Herastus wrote a quick letter to his father to explain why he was leaving to go to Westeros....and of course he took some men with him

Because Robb Stark was no fool and if Herastus hadn't a good reason to go to the North he wouldn't probably come back alive to Pentos. And Robb could never know....not yet. They couldn't put Marienna....Maegal in danger. Now he knew....now he knew his purpose. To protect the queen. No matter the costs....and help her rise.
