Kingslayer

VIIII- Regret

"Jaiden!" Lady Margery yelled making me jump awake.

I looked up to Margery's anger stricken face as she stared at pool of old blood and a sword on the floor of my chambers. Even worse Jamie's belt laid on my desk along with my dagger.

"What happened here?!" Margery's face snapped to me as I shurddered.

"Lady Margery I-" I tried to explain but before I could cause myself anymore trouble Margery butted in.

"No dont explain, I've seen enough. Sense clean this up."Margery said.

I looked to Sense my sister as she was in the corner of the room. I longed to cry and hug Sansa right now but I know it couldn't be done.

I stoo up and put my head down silently i walked to Margery. "I'm sorry, Lady Margery. "

Margery sighed. "Your lucky I found you before anyone else did." Margery voice was sweet but her eyes cold as she turned to me. "I'm very disappointed, and not only this...Jamie Lannister?" Margery put a hand on my shoulder forcing me to look into her eyes.

"Im very sorry m'lady." I didn't know what to think.

"There is yet only one solution and I don't want to do this but," Margery looked at Sansa then back to me. "I'm going to have you wed to Loras Tyrell. "

I saw Santa's face fill with disappointment as Margery spoke, Sansa hoped to marry Loras after Margery stole her crown. "But Lady Margery!" I began to protest

"Stop it Jaiden. You know I don't want this and I know you don't but it must be done." Margery spoke with great seriousness. "I'm going to be queen and I cannot have my own handmaiden playing with a Lannister behind my back." Margery shook her head as Sansa finished cleaning the mess I made.

"Return Jamie's belt and tell him that Jaiden will be marring Loras." Margery turned to the window.

Sansa grasped the belt on my desk and nodded taking the chamber doorknob Margery stopped her. "Have Jaiden do it."

I looked up and opened my mouth to protest but nothing came out. I looked at my sister who now had the door open belt in her hand. I walked slowly towards Sansa and gently took the belt from her. Sansa had sadness and pain in her eyes, I could tell she felt bad for me and herself. I closed my eyes for a brief moment reminding myself about the situation and what I was to do before I took my leave down the castle halls.

I walked for a bit until I saw a man in guards uniform I stopped. "Do you know where Ser Jamie is?" I asked politely as the guard turned to look at me he didn't have a pleasant face.

"Ser Jamie uhhh..." The guard scratched his chin before finally answering. "Ah! Yes Ser Jamie is with the measter, he seemed to have a leg wound. "

I bit my lip at the guard's response before nodding. "Yes thank you." I slightly bowed my head and walked off silently to the master's chambers.

Reaching the master's chambers I saw the door closed. Taking a deep breath I raised a fist and lightly knocked on the door between Jamie and I. I heard something and then the measter opened the door.

"Is Ser Jamie here?" I asked quietly and the measter responded by nodding and fully opening the door to where Jamie sat a cloth on his leg. "May I?" I asked.

"Yes, alone. "Jamie looked to the measter and the measter seemed surprised but agreed before taking his leave.

I cleared my throat after the measter left shutting the door behind him. I slowly glided to where Jamie sat and I gently sat next to him. "I was sent to give you this." I handed Jamie his belt and he looked at me his cheeks seemed to flush a hidden shade of pink.

"Thank you." Jamie took the belt and set it down next to him swallowing. "About earlier..." Jamie trailed off.

"I'm sorry Jamie, you broke your promise and I freaked." I shook my head. "I was childish. "

Jamie shook his head. "No. I broke my promise and you have every right to be upset Jaiden I know."

I sat silently for a moment before Jamie again spoke.

"Anything else?" Jamie had a glint of hope in his eyes but I knew that glint would shatter as soon as I spilled the news.

"Margery will be arranging my wedding..." I looked away to Jamie.

"To me?" Jamie's voice brightened but when I looked at him it ended.

"To Loras Tyrell. " I tried to speak with confidence but I found false courage.

Jamie's look hardened. "So because I broke one promise so my sister wouldn't get suspicious your getting married to someone else. "Jamie's cold tone and eyes scared me.

"No Margery suggested I do that so." I couldn't find the words to continue.

"No I see, one mistake and your marring Loras. I knew you'd never be able to love someone. "Jamie looked away from me as if I was disgraceful.

"Jamie you don't understand." I tried to take Jamie's hand but he rejected me.

"No now your trying to win my love back huh?" Jamie seemed to be heating up.

"Jamie I-"

"No just leave Jaiden. "Jamie waved his hand and I stared at him hurt.

Jamie looked away and I felt pain. "Well if you won't believe me. "I stood up and ran out back to my room where I would sob on my bed until Margery needed me
