Roose Bolton

From Create Your Own Story

"Please send in Lord Bolton," she added. She had another plan when it came to finding her daughters. However, she wasn't sure Brienne had the stomach for it. Her knight nodded and left. Minuted later, Bolton walked through the gates, wearing the finery of a Lord. Catelyn had never trusted him. The Starks and Bolton's had a bad history. However, he had proven himself loyal countless times, and she needed to trust somebody. Besides, the Boltons had particular talents that would prove useful to her.

"Your Grace," Roose greeted, falling to one knee. I'll have to get used to being greeted like that, Catelyn thought, motioning for him to stand. "Lady Brienne said you wanted to speak with me."

"Yes, firstly I would like you to be my hand. You've proven yourself a loyal ally and a loyal friend."

"I am honored, your grace. I would gladly serve as your Hand."

"Good," Catelyn replied, "Because we need a small council. Find a place for Lord Karstarks and save a seat for one of the Tyrells. We may need them in the days to come."

"Is that all, my Queen," Bolton asked, even though he knew there was more.

Now comes the hard part. "Lord Bolton, there is nothing I wouldn't do for my daughters. Somebody in this damned castle knows where at least Sansa is. I've heard you are good at retrieving this kind of information."

"Are you asking what I think your asking?" Bolton tried to stay emotionless, but she could see his joy.

"Yes, but no flaying," she warned, to which Roose only nodded. "And this stays between the two of us."

"Who do you want to interrogate first, your grace?" He asked, a smile coming to his lips.

Who does Catelyn interrogate first?
