Chapter 92: Chapter 92
"I do not want to be betrothed to your daughter." He told the man to his face.
Lord Stark gaped at his direct refusal as he quickly went on to explain "It is not that there is anything wrong with your daughter. In fact, from what I'd heard of Sansa from Rob and Jon, she is growing up to be a splendid woman with a kind and gentle disposition. The problem in fact, lies with me."
Lord Stark's frowned softened slightly though his posture remained stiff "Explain."
"I… well, I don't know how well you'll take it. But the truth of the matter is that when I marry, I do not want to do it out of some social or political obligation. When I eventually marry, something that I don't plan to do anytime soon, I want to do it for love."
Lord Stark continued to give him 'The Look' for a good few moments before he finally let out a sigh as his shoulders slumped and he nodded.
"I… understand." The lord said "It's just that…"
"I know." He said, cutting of the lord mid sentence.
"Huh…" came the elegant response.
"I said, I understand the reason why you want to betrothed your daughter to me." He said softly "The Bolton lands have prospered a lot since I took the position as the head of the house after the untimely death of my father Roose Bolton. I understand that under my guaidance, House has grown and prospered to the point that the house has become a major threat to the house of Stark. And even if I might not hold any ill will toward your house, it is highly possible that my son or the son of my son might hold different values from me at which point a civil war would take place and the North would break into pieces. As the Warden of the North, you cannot allow such a thing to happen."
He stopped speaking for a moment and looked pensively at Lord Stark before he continued "For that very reason, for the prosperity of my people and the peace in the North, I will accept this betrothal to Lady Sansa Stark."
Lord Stark looked surprised and happy at his declaration but before Lord Stark could open his mouth to speak, he raised a hand to stop him and continued.
"But… I have conditions."
