"Without you, Winterfell would likely be in the hands of the Lannisters, Lord Tully. You have my thanks.", Robb said as the two of them walked the halls of Winterfell. Now that Gregor Clegane made his retreat, Robb could focus on what his original plan was. King's Landing was the target for more than just the North, now. Word reached his ears that Stannis was now riding with a large number of men towards the Crownlands. It would make taking the city much more difficult than Robb had expected it to be.
"Stannis Baratheon approaches the capital with a large number of men. I would support him if he wasn't likely to turn against the North shortly after."
They saw Robb and his family as nothing more than rebels. At least the Lannisters and those who supported them did. If Stannis sat on the Iron Throne, then he would expect Robb to pledge fealty to him. While in the past, this would have been nothing to think about, Robb was considered a king now by his people. A good leader was supposed to look after the wants and needs of his people.
"He will expect me to bend the knee and that is something I'm not prepared to do."
