CHAPTER 166: SQUID BOY - I

Chapter 166: Squid Boy - I

Castle Black

POV of Theon Greyjoy

"I’m going to be the Lord of the Iron Islands one day, you know." Theon said with a smirk that made the girls soaking wet back in Winterfell, "Your Lord Bolton might be impressive, but he is only the lord of a single keep. Not the lord of a whole kingdom."

"And you are?" the red-haired girl asked him as she knocked another arrow and then allowed it to sail. The arrow hit its mark from a distance of some 100 yards.

He would never admit it, but she was a better archer than he was. Far better.

"I will be." He said with a confident smirk, and the girl had the audacity to roll her eyes at him as she went back to practicing with her bow.

"You should learn how to respect your betters." He told her, "I’m a generous person and don’t mind your insolence, but others won’t be so forgiving."

"Oh, I’m ever so grateful for your generosity, Lord Greyjoy of a stone keep, some far, far place away." She said. The sarcasm in her voice was evident to anybody who would hear it, and he clenched his fists.

The girl was beautiful; there was no doubt about that. Far more attractive than even Ros in the brothel in Winter Town. And she was smallfolk. The only reason the Bolton boy even kept her in his retinue was her exceptional archery skills.

The reason he was talking with her in the first place was that she was the only girl in the expedition whom he could fuck.

Meera Reed was a lord’s daughter, and Robb had warned him to stay away from her. And the other girl was that halfwit Raksa, the giantess who would break his back in half if she decided to sit on his magnificent cock.

That only one left was this redhead. But she had proved to be harder to get than he had first expected.

Neither his charms nor his gold seemed to have any effect on her.

Maybe she was in love with the Bolton boy. Everyone else seemed to be.

Even Sansa, as much as she might try to hide it due to Lady Catelyn’s continuous presence, was deeply enamored by the Bolton boy and the ’life’ in Dreadfort that she could never stop talking about.

Arya was no less enamored with the Bolton boy, even though she was less interested in his face and more interested in his adventures.

Robb admired the Bolton boy because of how prosperous he had made his lands in the years since he became the Lord of Dreadfort.

And the bastard Snow respected the Bolton boy because Bolton treated the bastard like he would treat any other heir and had even offered him a place in his retinue, along with the offer to be trained by Varko himself.

He still thought that the bastard had been foolish to reject such an offer. He doubted there was any other bastard in the realm who would decline being trained by Varko.

He came out of his thoughts and looked at the red-haired girl once again, wondering if he should use a more forceful approach on the girl. Hell, she might even appreciate a good and proper fuck after he was done with her.

But before he could do anything, he heard the voices from a commotion in the courtyard of Castle Black.

The girl went off to retrieve her arrows, and he looked at the girl and at the place from which all the voices of the commotion were coming.

In the end, his curiosity prevailed, and he decided to try to win the girl’s affection at a later date.

After all, in time, the smallfolk girl would come to realize who he was, Theon Greyjoy.

He wasn’t even to be compared to the common Northern lords. When the time came, Theon would rule the Iron Islands and become its great lord. Among the Northerners, the only ones who could be considered equal were Lord Stark and his heir, Robb Stark.

In the end, only the Warden of the North could match the Warden of the Iron Islands.

And that red-haired smallfolk girl had better know her place. It was an honor for her to serve Theon Greyjoy. She should thank Theon for giving her this opportunity.

Whatever it was, Theon would get her, one way or another. If she didn’t make it difficult, Theon could take his time to talk her down and woo her. But if she chose the hard way, Theon wouldn’t hesitate to use force. Perhaps that would be even more enjoyable.

After all, she was just smallfolk. She couldn’t do anything even if she wanted to.

At most, he could go and complain to Bolton Boy. But what could Bolton Boy do to him? After all, he was Theon Greyjoy—heir to the Iron Islands and currently Lord Stark’s ward.

Bolton boy couldn’t possibly touch Theon, not while he was under Lord Stark’s protection as a ward.

And wouldn’t that be even better? He’d get the girl and leave the Bolton boy helpless. Two birds with one stone.

Then everyone would realize that the stories about the Bolton Boy were nothing but exaggerations, and that the Bolton Boy was nothing compared to Theon Greyjoy.

After all, Bolton Boy lacked the courage to confront Theon and challenge him to a duel for the smallfolk girl’s honor. There were many rumors about Bolton Boy, but none of them concerned his swordsmanship. At best, Bolton Boy was a man who sat on his horse and gave orders to his men.

And if Bolton were to challenge him, even better. He could defeat Bolton Boy in a duel and prove to everyone that Theon Greyjoy was better than him.

The possibility that Bolton Boy might send one of his men, like Varko, to challenge him didn’t faze Theon at all. If one of Bolton Boy’s men came to challenge Theon, all he had to do was accuse Bolton Boy of being a coward and tell him to face him if he had the courage.

If Bolton Boy cowered and fled, Theon wouldn’t need to duel the Bolton men.

While daydreaming, Theond continued towards the courtyard of Castle Black.
