Monster // Petyr Baelish

45. Lady Baelish

"Marry me." Petyr declared. 

"Thats the plan." Rieka agreed as she got ready. 

"Today." Petyr requested. Rieka stared back at him in the mirror. "Marry me today." 

"Yes." Rieka agreed. "Yes." 

So they were to be wed. Rieka had wanted her mother and Robb... her father to be there. She wanted her whole family but didnt know when they day would come so she had to be okay with just sansa, and Petyr. 

Sansa helped her with her hair and Avalon made sure to get her fur everywhere while they got ready. 

"Rieka whats this?" Sansa questioned. Rieka turned to her. 

"What's wha-" then she saw it. The little box from Robb. "That's a name day gift I havent had the strength to open." Rieka remarked. 

"Name day? That was ages ago." sansa declared. 

"I know." Rieka agreed. "I'm just... I suppose having him with me today, this gift is as good as I'm going to get." Rieka offered taking the box from her. She opened it up but closed her eyes. Sansa awed out and Rieka let out a slow exhale before opening her eyes. 

"Oh," Rieka rasped. "That's... its his wolf ring." 

"Theres a note." Sansa remarked.  Rieka wiped at her eyes as she unscrolled it. 

"So you always have me with you." Rieka whimpered tears falling down her cheeks. She put the ring on and as suspected it was too large, she picked up the box and it was like Robb knew and out fell a chain. She looped the ring through and wore it like a necklace. Her hand covered it and she closed her eyes. 

"Should have opened this moons ago." Rieka choked out through sobs.

"You want to tell Lord Baelish no? That she dont want to wed him today?" Sansa pondered. 

"No. I want to marry Petyr." Rieka assured. "I trust him." Sansa nodded. He seemed nice, he certainly doted on Rieka. "Hey Sansa, can Avalon stay with you tonight?" 

Rieka wanted Avalon here for two reasons. If she was getting married they were going to be making some noises that Rieka was sure Avalon would interpret as Petyr is hurting my Rieka and I must rip his throat out. She didnt want that. Also Rieka wanted Sansa protected. Avalon was great protection, if the night ended how Rieka hoped and into the morning she would not be leaving her bed and she wanted to make sure sansa was alright. 

"I would love that." Sansa agreed. "We can have a sleepover!" Sansa declared and Avalon's tail whacked happily against the bed.

"What are you doing?" Joffrey's voice echoed down the aisle, she was almost there. "What are you doing?" He repeated slowly. 

"I'm getting married, didnt know I needed your blessing." Rieka answered stiffly. "Your grace," she added with mocked tone. 

"You need me to walk you down the aisle." Joffrey corrected. 

"Incorrect." RIeka decided as she took the final steps to Petyr. "Because I'm already here." 

"Well I think-"

"This is my wedding day, dont you know not to piss of a bride on her wedding day?" Rieka challenged glaring back at him. 

PEtyr had been at the capital long enough to know that no one stood up to Joffrey, long enough to know that Joffrey didnt show fear like that with just a glare to anyone, except when Rieka showed her strength. Joffrey was afraid, Petyr saw his fear coursing through him. 

"Thats what I thought, now get the hell out." Rieka demanded and a smile curved Sandor's face. He wished he could talk to the little shit like that. Joffrey scoffed running into Sandor as he tried to get away. 

"I'm sorry where we were?" Rieka asked sweetly. Petyr didnt answer with words but with a kiss. She was about to become Lady Rieka Baelish.
