It had been a month later. Everything was going fine in Winterfell. Besides the fact of the new and hidden conflict between House Lannister and House Stark.

Robb and I were eating with the common folk. I thought everyone would hate me but they enjoyed my stay, surprisingly.

We had finished and walked around Winterfell.
Robb attempts to pick a rose but touches the thorn instead.
I laughed at him but accepted the rose anyway.

Ser Rodrik walks up to us.
"Lord and Lady Stark."

Robb nodded.

"Morning Ser Rodrik."
I smiled.

Robb and I noticed the letter in his hand.

"A raven came in this morning from Kingslanding."

He handed it to Robb.

Robb reads and seconds later turns to me.
"Raliana.."
He whispered giving the letter to me.

I read the letter and go after read it.

Robert Baratheon, now deceased murdered by a hog on a hunting trip and died from his wound infection. His hand, Eddard Stark beheaded by the royal executioner Ser Illyn on orders of Joffrey Baratheon. Eddard had apparently spread rumors about Queen Cersei and Ser Jaime Lannister having incest relations and Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen having full on Lannister Blood. Eddard's death leads up to his daughter being held captive and the other disappearing. Joffrey is now King of the seven kingdoms.
This letter had been sent by the unknown.

"You are excused, Ser Rodrik."
I said.

He nodded and walked away.

I look at Robb who was already crying.
I dropped the letter and rose and held him.

"Why him?"
he cried as he held onto me.

"I don't know why they would do that."
I mumbled.

Robb held onto me,
"I'll kill them, I'll kill them all."

I knew he referred to everyone in my family except Myrcella and Tommen. See Illyn added. Which I didn't mind because the urge of death for my family grew bit by bit, especially Ser Illyn.

I put his face on my palms,
"I'll get there, I will talk to him and get your sisters."

"No, he'll kill you,"
Robb raised his voice hugging me.
"I love you and I can't lose you."

"I love you more than you could imagine Robb, but I need to."

"I'm coming with you."

"That's not happening,"
I said as my voice went affectionate to serious.
"Your family needs you and I need to find out who put that secret out there."

"I need you Raliana."

"I'm never leaving this earth if it's the last thing I do."

He kissed me and I gave him the letter,

"Go to your mother and brothers, I need to talk to someone."

He nodded and walked.

I began the go the other direction thinking of who could've spoiled my morning.

I look at the crypt and knew exactly who would be in there.

I see Maester Luwin and fast-walked to him in resentment.
"How could you?"

"How could I what, Lady Stark?"

"Tell everyone about my family's secret!"

"My lady I've kept my mouth shut for weeks and never told another soul."
He said as he was confused and gentle.

I knew he wasn't lying.

I sighed, "Apologies, have you heard?"

"About whom?"

"My father's dead and so is Ned, Joffrey ordered Ser Ilyn to behead him because of false allegations of Ned spreading the rumors on my mother and uncle."

"Oh my, first off I am so so sorry for your loss. I need to go with Lady Catelyn."

"I can take both of us, come on."

He nodded and walked with me.

We arrived at the chamber with all of the Starks having tears in their eyes.
I hold back my tears trying to be strong.

Catelyn cries in Robbs's arms and turns to me.
"What is wrong with your family!?"

I stood there in silence next to Maester Luwin. For all of the conflict that Lady Catelyn and I had I knew she wasn't truly mad at me. It was my family that was the problem.

"Joffrey's gone mad," I say out of nowhere.
"he's never done anything like this before and never cared for the throne."

I then hear Rickons tears while he is looking at me.
I look down beside him and I see all of the dire wolves pouting quietly.

"But why did he need to take it out on my father?"
Bran asked while his voice cracked.

"Where are my sisters?" Rickon asked everyone softly.

We all look at him.
I began to cry silently feeling the tears drip from my face.
Robb looks at me and I turn my head side to side while sighing signaling that this was my fault.
He did the same with his head mouthing the words,
'No, it's not.'

I walk out of the room and headed to my chamber.
I sat down and cried.
Minutes later Robb comes in.

I look up at him quickly.
"Why are you here?"

"It's my chamber also."
He stated while sitting next to me.

I lay my head on his shoulder.
"Sorry won't fix everything, but I will get justice for your family."

"It's not your fault, whoever released that information deserves to be punished."

I stay quiet while thinking, then I lift my head fast.
"Robb..."

He turns to me with being partly concerned.
"Yes, Raliana?"

"I don't know why I haven't thought of this before, but Lord Varys.."

"Who is Lord Varys?" Robb asked.

"The master of whispers who works for my family, the little boy that we saw, it might be one of his spiders!"

"Spider?" Robb chuckled, "Why does he call the children spiders?"

"Real spiders are sly and quiet, and the children do the dirty work for Lord Varys which means that he sent that boy to find out every secret he can get."

"Why would he do that if he works for your family?"

"He probably hated us for the longest, so he got an opportunity to betray us."

"He just sentenced his own death."

"I suppose, but I don't care for him, I only care for our siblings right now."

"We are having a council meeting with my banner men in tonight, come."

"Oh Robb, after what my family has put the north through? I don't think so."
I said.

Robb put his hand over mine.
"If any of them try to hurt you, their heads will be separated from their bodies."

I giggled,
"Fine, but I might need to say a few words."

"Done."
Robb laughed and kissed me and I kissed him back.
Then it went on and we hadn't stopped.
