Sansa, Bran, Arya and I came to KingsLanding for Sansa's wedding to Prince Joffery. I guess it was nice for Sansa to get married but just not to Joffery. I approached King Robert Baratheon on the Iron Throne. Cerise stood next to the Throne and I felt her eyes on me.
My father, Lord Eddard Stark was greeted as King Robert's friend. The family was introduced and my father introduced me last. "Finally my second born child Jaiden Stark."
I walked infront of my family and curtsied lowly. "Your Grace. "I spoke to the King and Queen respectfully.
"Rise. "I heard Cerise's voice as she spoke to me. I obeyed and rose to see Cerise's twisted smirk apon me. "Lady Jaiden." She looked at me like I was prey.
"Yes your grace?" I asked holding back the fear I held within.
"How do you feel about the royal family?" Cerise asked.
I was shocked by the question but didn't show it. "I feel ever loyal your grace. "I hope that I answered correctly and stepped back with my family.
Cerise looked to King Robert who nodded. The doors opened and several servants were presented. "These are your servants for your stay they'll show you to your chambers. "Robert got up and approached my father as two handmaidens approached me.
"Lady Jaiden. "The handmaidens greeted me and bowed their heads. "I am Danet I'm come from Essos. "A handmaiden with dark straight hair and green eyes spoke to me. "And I'm Echo I come from Westeros. "The other handmaiden spoke who had a brown curly hair and blue eyes that matches her pale skin.
I had black long flowing hair that went down to my waist and the grey Stark eyes. My skin was pale and my lips were full and soft. Some questioned that I was Caytlen Stark's daughter because of my dark hair while my mother has tully colored hair.
I caught the eye of a strange knight by the Iron Throne, his looks brought his name to me immediately Jamie Lannister. We looked for a brief moment before I averted my gaze and brought it back to my handmaidens.
"Follow us Lady Jaiden we'll show you to your chambers. "Danet told me and both hurried off with me trailing behind.
----2 Hours Later----
I called in Echo and Danet to get me ready for a dinner with the royal family. As they dressed me and did my hair Danet and Echo told me about their lives and how they got here. Danet's father sent her here in hopes of gaining the royal family's trust while Echo only spoke of what her home in Westeros was like. I told them stories of my siblings and I's at Winterfell. When I was ready I looked in my mirror. I wore a red and gold dress with the Lannister lion and Baratheon stag. I didn't like the dress very much, it was a little high on the cut and almost dragged by my feet obviously it was Queen Cerise's pick. My hair was braided and hung on my left shoulder.I thanked Echo and Danet and stepped outside my chambers. I started my way to the feast when I felt a strong hand grab me by my arm. I turned around quickly and stared in shock as Jamie Lannister held my arm in his hand. "Excuse me?!" I brushed Jamie off quickly and backed away.
"Beautiful. "I heard Jamie mutter as he stared at me like a child stares at its toy.
"Thank you but I must get to the feast. "I turned around and hurried off to the feast.
I pondered on why he grabbed me as I wondered into the room the feast was being held. I walked into the room where Sansa, Joffery, Cerise, and Tywin Lannister sat.
I nervously curtsied. "Your Grace. "I spoke and sat down on a chair that had been held for me. Everyone was staring at me now until Cerise broke the silence.
"Lady Jaiden. "Cerise had a light unreadable expression as she held a glass of wine in her hand. "Wine? Red or White?" She asked me as she lifted her own glass to her mouth.
I knew not to say no to wine when I'm offered it by the Queen and I know if I chose Red it would please her even though I was more of a fan of White. "Red please, Your Grace. "I said and bowed my head lightly.
A servant poured me a glass of Red wine and I saw Joffery's eyes on me. "How do you like the castle?" Cerise began to speak to me as I sipped at the wine.
"It's wonderful, your grace. "I smiled lightly as I spoke. "I've never seen a place more beautiful than this. "I set the glass down.
"Perfect. "Cerise glanced at Joffery and sat her head on her hands. "I see my son is noticing your beauty. "Cerise let a smirk escape her mouth.
Joffery snapped a look at his mother and looked at Sansa who gave me a worried glance.
"Maybe it should be you to marry him?" Cerise drew the attention by everyone in the room. "You are the first born daughter."
I swallowed and spoke. "I'm suppose, your grace. "I couldn't argue with the Queen.
Cerise had a sigh. "But it's Sansa who marries Joffery." Cerise turned to Sansa. "Have you bled yet?" Sansa shook her head and looked down to her plate. "Have you?" Cerise looked to me now.
I saw Jamie in the corner of the room seeming to be listening intently. I hesitated before answering. "Y-yes your grace. "
"Enough!" Joffery slammed his hands down on the table and looked angrily to his mother.
"You may leave. "Cerise had a smirk and sipped her wine.
I stood and curtsied. "Thank you, your grace. "I left as quickly as I could and went into my chambers.
