"I want to learn how to fight." I say to Ned that dinner time, what happened with Jamie scared me, I am a woman. I can't defend myself, but I'll be dammed if I allow myself to be controlled like that. "Fight, woman don't fight." Ned says. "Why not?" Princess Marcella asks, we had finally been graced with the royal families presence. "It's just how it is Princess." Ned says back, Marcella smiles and goes back to her food. "It's not like I want to fight battles and slay men." I say picking at my food. "I think it's a splendid idea" Jamie contributes, gaining a look from the king. "Sure you do, I think she should fight. Defend herself from men like you." The king says and my face lights up. "Is this your wish my king?" I say and he laughs. "Good god, she's better at playing the game than you Ned. Yes my child it is my wish." He says laughing harder. "I offer myself to teach her." Prince Joffrey says, gaining me a side eye from Sansa. "Oh Joffrey, you have your own training to do." The queen says trying to discourage him. "She deserves the best teacher." Joffrey says, slumping in his seat. "I shall do it." Jamie says, my whole body deflates, I think it was clear by my face I was unhappy with that. "I'm sure we can make other arrangements. Arya will be starting with a sword fighter from Bravos, maybe they can do it together." Ned says, Arya's head shoots up. "No! He's my teacher! I don't like her!" Arya whines. "We can get the hound to teach her!" Prince Tommen yells, and gets disregarded by his parents. "Not happening." The hound grunts, eating his food on the edge of the table. "We shall discuss this later, it is not dinner time talk." Ned says and I let it go.
"You seriously want to learn how to fight?" Jamie says as I'm brushing my hair that night. "Get out." I say looking over at him leaning on my door. "Oh don't be like that." He says grinning. "I've seen enough of you to last me a lifetime." I say, he closes the door. "Why do you want to fight." He repeats, coming closer to me. "What do people call you?" I say getting up. "Kingslayer, oathbreaker, a man without honour. I've been called it all." He says sitting on the bed. "The only reason your all of that is because you were taught that. I'm a woman, I have no way of defending myself from men without honour, from oathbreakers. I could be the best swordsman on earth and nobody would regard it as I am a woman. I don't want to be the best swordsman on earth. I just want to be able to defend myself. I'm not your sister, I don't have spies and an army to defend me at every move. The kings guard didn't even defend me." I say sitting next to him, he looks at me intently. "Joffrey wants to marry you." Jamie says and I look at him shocked. "He's promised to Sansa!" I exclaim, all because I showed him kindness? "Apparently you show him things, share your wisdom. Your kind to him," he says sighing. "Why are you telling me this." I ask, noticing his displeasure. "I don't want you to marry him." Jamie says and I stand up. "You think I do? Not to be cruel as he is your Nephew but the only reason I was nice to him is to protect my wolf! To protect myself!" I say, putting my head in my hands. "I can't refuse! I'll be killed! I can't refuse a Prince's hand!" I yell walking around the room. "Roslyn!" Jamie says grabbing my wrists. "What!" I yell, trying to steady my breathing. "I have a solution." He says going closer to me. "What?" I say, breathing steadily. "Marry me instead." He says kissing me passionately. I instantly pull away. "Get off me!" I yell. "You would rather him?" He yells back, letting go of my wrists roughly. "You pushed my 10 year old cousin out of a window, threatened to cut my throat if I told anyone and pinned me against a wall and choked me! Bruises are forming already! What am I meant to say to Ned? Your a horrible person Jamie Lannister. Everyone was right. You are a man without honour." I yell at him, he looks gobsmacked, clearly nobody had told him about himself. "So be it. You and Joffrey shall wed." He yells before leaving the room.
I run to Ned's chamber's, I have to tell him about Joffrey. "Open the door!" I yell to his guards as they restrict my access. "Roslyn? What are you doing at this hour?" Ned says opening the door. "We must talk." I say bursting into tears. "What happened?" Ned says closing the door as I enter his chambers. "I'm so sorry! I've ruined everything!" I yell hysterically. "Roslyn calm down!" He says trying to steady my breathing. "Joffrey wants to marry me." I say, steadying my breathing. Ned's face goes pale. "Does Sansa know? She will be crushed." Ned says, comforting me. "No, I'm too scared to tell her, I'll wait till Joffrey makes the announcement." I say hugging Ned softly. "You shall never have to do anything you don't wish too." Ned says stroking my hair. "I can't refuse a Prince." I whisper back.
The announcement came the next day. We were all gathered into the Great Hall right after breakfast. Nobody but Jamie and Ned knew I knew what was about to happen. My maids kitted me out into a gorgeous gown, they were told to make me look my best. "My son Prince Joffrey would like to give us an announcement." The king says as we all enter the hall. I hold my breath. "Loyal Servants, as you all know, I am promised to a special lady Sansa Stark." Joffrey says, gaining a swoon from Sansa beside me. "But, I have decided to marry another." He says and Sansa goes pale. "I have decided to Marry, Lady Roslyn Arryn." He announces. I go pale and Sansa looks at me with rage in her eyes. "Please Lady Arryn, come up here." Joffrey says, I look over at him and see an enraged Jamie behind him. "My lady." He says kissing my hand. "My Prince." I reply shakily. "We shall marry by the end of the year!" Joffrey announces before sitting back down, leaving space for me to perch. "There will be a celebration soon! But now it is time for the Hands Tournament! Let the games begin!" The king bellows and we all rush out of the hall, excluding me and the royals. "We are delighted to welcome you into our family." The king says, coming over to me and patting my shoulder, before leaving with Ned. "I trust you have bled before?" The queen says, i nod. "Perfect, I'm sure you and Joffrey will have beautiful golden haired sons." The queen says before leaving with her youngest two children, leaving Me, Joffrey and Jamie. "Prince Joffrey! Why on earth would you do that!" I yell as soon as they are out of sight. "Do you not wish to marry me?" He yells back. "You were promised to my Dear Cousin! I shall not take her place!" I yell back, Jamie stands on the sidelines, amused by this argument. "I am your Prince! You shall do as I say and marry who I say! Do you understand!" He yells back. "Any man who has to say I am the Prince is no true Prince at all." I say before running out of the hall, Joffrey yelling at Jamie to bring me back.
