"We hear she deals with murky business" the men muttered amoungst themselves behind her as she ran her fingers through the silk being sold in Cobbler's square. "the business of magic" her body tensed as the pair behind her continued to murmur. she slowly let down the material from inbetween her fingers and turned around swiftly, a smirk falling between her lips.

"it is not of true men to murmur of women behind their backs, gentleman" they're eyes widened, fear rising from their feet, past their soiled finger nails and stained skin onto their sweaty foreheads and oily hair. it might have been her posture or the grace she held herself with that caused the feeling of doom to befall at the pits of their stomach or it could have been the fact that even having been standing 50 ft away she was still able to hear their hushed voices, more freightning that they would be able to hear her voice echo in their heads.

little was known of Reinah Jaquez in King's landing, she had been dropped off as a babe at the steps of a pleasure house by her mother, being raised by bar maids and ladies of the night, it wasnt until she was a child that her true purpose began to become more aparent, her powers growing with ease. at first the feelings she felt were overwhelming, so much power and yet such little control. it was not until her first period that she was able to master  these talents that surged through her veins and although she knew little of her parents, she was more then certain she had gotten these skills from them.

she rushed past the gravel stoned streets as she made her way to the pleasure house she had been raised in, Reinah was never asked to take her garments off, was never made to touch the skin of men or serve them wine, her mother had made it so her virtue remained untouched as if she was their most valuable possesion, in a certain twisted way, their princess. she pushed the wooden doors open. the sun was soon setting and she needed to reach her bed chaimbers quickly.

soon the pleasure house would be swormed with lords, knights, and men of nobility. the women pinned their hair and applied mixtures of lavander and honey to their skin in preparation of their arrival. although this was there every day life there was always a sence of excitment for them, knowing they would lay their wives and children to rest and disappear into the night to consume all that Kings Landing had to offer.

Reinah stepped into her small chaimber and shut the door, although powerful she was fearful of the men, she had witnessed years of mistreatment towards her fellow sisters, bruised skin and split lips, always being restricted by her mother as these were men of nobelty and no matter how strong she was, the sword of the king was much powerful her mother would remind her.

there was a knock on the door as reinah removed her cloack "enter" her voice echoed inside the room. her mother slipped inside and closed the door behind her. Minerva was the owner of the pleasure house, her brothel providing pleasure to the many men of Kings Landing over the years, her business having a clear understanding with the kingdom and its king Viserys. although he himself did not respect the establishment he knew many of the men in his court and his kingdom would seek pleasures in Minerva's brothel.

''it is a sight for sore eyes to see you" Minerva exasperated "i always feel my heart in my throat when you step out those doors" she smiled gently, Reinah chuckled slighly, her dimples manifesting onto her rosy cheeks. "you should not fear for me mother,you should fear for them" Reinah expressed matter of factly. "you must understand Reinah, this place has a long history of harming things they dont understand" Minerva moved closer to her daughter, the one she had raised close to her heart all these years, although they shared no blood  they're bond was stronger then any child and mother in King's landing "we will have a full house tonight seeing as the King will be hosting a Tourney in honor of his heir being born soon".

'' does the king not have an heir already?'' Minerva shifted in her seat looking around the teens bedroom. she sighed heavily "you know the people will never allow a woman to rule". reinah nodded "they would if the king should order it". silence fell in the room and then minerva stood up slowly fixing the bottom of her gown. "very well i dont mean to hold you any longer, i wanted to see if you would like to join us  seeing as this gives you great opportunity for business". in certain nights Reinah would read the future for certain men who would be brave enough to lend her their palms but it was dangerous as many seeked answers they had not prepared to receive.
