The falling star || Game of Thrones

A Feast to remember

After being escorted to his chamber by Lady Stark, Gerold decided  to relieve Ser Arys Oakheart who was guarding the Princess. He arrived at the door and saw that the other Kingsguard looked happy.  Ser Arys, I've come to relieve you of your watch. You can go eat something  hot otherwise you die of the cold. Arys chuckled and responded: That's for you to say, I think you are more likely to freeze,Gerold. Gerold laughed and said: You're correct, but luckily I got some hot stew. After that the Reachman decided to go the great hall to get some food. Gerold  needed to fight against the boredom and the sleep. Riding with the whole court to appoint his old friend as Hand of the King, such a waste of time of that damn oaf of a king. He should just have sent a letter saying that Lord Stark was the new Hand. This choice was not based on politics but on old friendship between the King and the Warden of Winterfell. Gerold understood that Robert didn't chose Lord Tywin Lannister as Hand. That was because the King complained about the numbers of Lannisters. The king wouldn't choose Lord Tyrell because the Baratheons held a grudge against the Reach for sieging Storm's End during the Rebellion. Between the three Baratheons there are tensions, so they don't trust each other enough. Dorne is out of the question. Who remains? Lord Stark. Gerold decided to abandon this and some moments later, the door opened and Princess Myrcella came out of her room. Princess said Gerold with a smile. The Princess smiled back and said Gerold, it is Myrcella when it's  just us. Follow me, Gerold. I wanted to discover Winterfell, because I may become her next Lady.  Gerold began to think about his own future. Damn those Lannisters, me keeping hostage so you becom more powerfull each day. Destroying me youth and future. Myrcella turned around and said Are you coming, Gerold? Of course answered the young knight.

While they were walking, Myrcella asked Gerold a question Who do you think, is going to marry a Stark, Joffrey, Tommen or me?  Gerold began to think about and wanted to say I hope that your brother marries a Stark, so that i can marry you, but Gerold abandoned that thought That's never going to happen because I'm just a Lord not a son of Lord paramount and I'm Dornish and your parents hate Dorne.  The Princess began to look unsure at him and asked him Gerold did you hear me?  Yes, Myrcella. I think that the chance is bigger that Joffrey is going to marry a Stark because your father wants to be officially family with his oldest friend. Your father wanted a Stark Queen, but that didnt happen with the dath of her during the rebellion. So he wants to do it for his son. Secondly, your mother wouldn't agree to send you to the coldest place of Westeros. But I think that you shall know this evening during the feast.

After discovering everything, Gerold escorted the Princess back to her room, where the Queen was waiting for her daughter. Your Grace he said. The Princess looked worried to her mother and asked Mother, What are you doing here by door? The Queen answered Myrcella, where were you? I was worried that those filthy Northerns had kidnapped you. We need to choose a dress for this feast, because your possible Lord husband will escort you to this evening.  Gerold needed to fight to not laugh, because the Queen always exaggerate her concerns about her children. Myrcella let a sigh escape and rolled with her eyes Mother, I was in no danger,because Ser Dayne was escorting me. We were discovering this castle. He whispered Good luck,Cella with finding a perfect dress this evening. Your Graces, he said while bowing and leaving them to find the training yard, because  the last time that he properly trained was in King's Landing.  But when he entered the Great Hall of Winterfell, he heard:Ser Dayne Gerold turned around and saw a lady with brown hair walking towards him. The Lord Commander of the King's Guard has sent me to inform you that you need to be present in his room.  Hmm, probably to discuss who needs to be on duty this evening,  he thought. Thank you. What's your name? Alyssa answered the girl with blushing cheeks. Thank you, Alyssa to inform me about that. Good day.
