The Princess of Westeros; The younger sister of King Joffrey, Joana Lannister, 18 years old. Known as Joana Baratheon, She doesn't know she's Jaime's daughter.

Joana's POV:

I wake up with my heart racing and my breathing heavy. This is the fourth night in a row that I have had the same terrible dream.

It's always the same, It starts the same way, I am standing in Joffrey's chambers, holding a dagger in my hand. I rush towards him and drive the blade through his heart. It feels too real. Could it be a vision? I try to let go of the thought, but the dream just continues to haunt me. Is it really a dream? or is it something else.

I leave my bed and I call my maids to help me wear my new dress, Uncle Jaime got it for me from Dorne.

I thought it was really pretty

I thought it was really pretty. He always treated me and Joffrey as if we were his own children.

I leave my chambers and I head to the main hall of the Red Keep,  I see my brother sitting on the Iron Throne, He had always been so full of himself, Always thought he ruled the world, Well he did but I deserved something too... I've always wanted more power, more respect, But everytime the men of the castle look at me, All they see is ''The Princess'', nothing more than eye-candy, I have to look beautiful and wear my silly fancy dresses and walk around the castle or sit in the garden for hours. That is not what I want. I want adventure, I want Power, I want to be remmembered.  I wanted to change the rules, or break them, Perhaps both?

I pass by the men who are waiting in line to speak with the king, I can feel their eyes fixed on me.

I finally get to my brother and I interrupt the courtier who was talking to him.

''Good morning, Your grace.''  I said.

''Sister, what's the matter? can't you see I'm speaking to the courtiers?'' He replied.

''I have a matter to discuss with you.'' I insisted.

''Not now. I'm busy!'' He shouted.

I nod and say: "Very well, If you cannot find the time to listen to me, then I will take my leave."

I  turned on my heel and I headed to the garden, I was angry because of the way he didn't show any respect to me, how could he dismiss me like that infront of those worthless men, I tried to think nothing of it and I held my chin high on the way.

I get to the garden and I see my mother there, I walk up to her, She notices my presence before I could speak.

''Daughter, good morning.'' She greeted.

''good morning to you, Mother.'' I replied.

''Out of all your dresses and you chose this one?'' She laughed.
