Robb Stark | King of the North
Robb had been raised by one hell of an honorable man. It was no secret, the Stark family held honor in a high regard and had been for as long as history had been recorded. His father had taught him well, taught him to respect women and taught him how to care for his subjects. In the next breathe, Robb had been taught about dealing with traitors, those that deserved a death sentence. Those that deserved death would be killed by the same hand that had passed the sentence, as long as Robb Stark had something to say about it. He had never been faced with a situation where a woman had been the traitor, not something as severe as what Chella stood accused of. Even when he sent soldiers to pick Chella up from the hostel that she worked at, he left her to sit in a tent for a few days. Robb was still at a loss as to what he should do with her but he knew that he couldn't ignore the situation forever. As much as he may want to, that just wasn't a possibility. Not when he had even more pressing matters to tend to.
With a rough sigh, he sent a soldier to fetch Chella from the tent that she had been imprisoned in. Robb turned, heading toward his tent where he was quick to drop into the chair behind the makeshift table that they had long since set up. He looked to his mother who gave a frown in her son's direction. Robb didn't bother to speak to her, knowing that Catelyn would expect him to put an end to Chella before any more information could be leaked to the connections that she had with the Lannisters. He knew that the coin that they were paying her was likely far beyond what they could afford to pay her, was there even a point in attempting to turn her to their side? Robb wasn't so sure.
Catelyn opened her mouth, only for it to snap shut as the tent flap was pulled back. It revealed an exhausted looking woman who was all but thrown into the tent. Robb's eyes narrowed, the hair on the back of his neck raising.
Be worthy. Worthy of your title, your wealth, your influence. It wasn't very honorable to shove a woman around. He had to remind himself that Chella was a spy, had been sent to dig up some dirt on the Starks to bring about their end. The thought was enough to rekindle the anger in his stomach. Robb looked to his mother, his eyes narrowing a bit. He was silent as was she. It wasn't more than a moment later that Robb watched his mother disappear through the tent flap.
Robb regarded Chella with a hard gaze, pushing to his feet. He was silent as he cocked his head to the side, feeling the tension only growing. He would never admit it but he was certainly surprised when Chella was the one to break the silence. His eye twitched just slightly; the only reaction that Chella would get out of him. He was quiet, scrutinizing her with his gaze. "The only traitor that I see in this tent, is in cuffs," Robb spoke, lifting his arms just a bit and pointedly looking down at his cuffs. "I, nor my father, are traitors."
"My mother. My advisors. My closest men. They all believe that it is in our best interest just to chop your head off and be done with it," Robb spoke, pausing as he moved to step around the table. "I can't say that I really disagree with any of them. It would be far easier than trying to keep track of a Southern whore and all of her clients." Robb shrugged, entirely unconvinced on what he should do. He took a deep breathe, looking off to the side for a moment before refocusing his gaze on Chella.
"Tell me. Give me one good," Robb paused, holding up a single finger. "One good reason not to do as I have been advised. Because I truly do not want to but if it is not worth even an attempt to spare your life then so be it. I will pass the sentence and that will be the end of both this and
you." Robb set a heavy hand on the table, Chella pinned beneath his heavy gaze.
