𝐽𝐴𝐷𝐸𝑌𝑁 𝑁𝐸𝑉𝐸𝑅 left the walls Keep unless it was truly needed and taking strolls in the gardens were no exception. The part she hated the most were the ladies who approached her to greet the Queen's sister hopping they'll pique her interest somehow. But she tried everything to get one thought off her mind: Sandor Clegane. And she failed miserably.

Fighting the urge to turn around and run into the servant's hall and enter every room until she finds his, Jade takes another step forward, rubbing her fingers together through the gloves.
Good thing she didn't. Feet away, stood her nephew Joffrey, accompanied by a certain man.

Joffrey dismisses his Hound with a flick of his hand and continues walking away with Meryn Trant. At first, one might think Sandor Clegane goes back to the Keep to enjoy his break, yet he stoped in front of the Lannister Lady. Neither of them said anything, they just let the tension in their stare to grow by the passing moment.

Jadeyn's eyes were questioning and lustful, alsmost inviting him: she will never accept that. She hated him for making her think of begging, she hated him for not bending to her will, she hated him for the way he made her feel, it was wrong and unwelcomed feeling that should stay away for the better. But it was so hard for her to, Jadeyn Lannister could do anything but not that.

Everything in the Lady ached for the Hound to say something, anything or at least to move, even an inch was enough. He didn't. And it made her blood boil. Her ego wouldn't bear the thought of acting first.

Bringing her hand in a fist, so hard she felt the material in on her palm softly unravel, she looked for a mere secound over his shoulder, searching for her nephew. At the realisation of Joffrey's disappearing, she locks her eyes back with his and without thinking anymore she rose on her tiptoes bringing herself closer to Sandor's face.

Swiftly, she pressed her lips on his. The kiss was long enough for Jade to breathe in his scent, however too short for the Hound to have a reaction. The Lannister did not waste her time to recklessly bat her eyes at him as she would when she walked past him and continued the stroll on the same direction she planned.

Jadeyn let out a sigh at the hearing of the Clegane's steps fading away as he walked in the oppside way, towards the Keep.

𝑇𝐻𝐸 𝐶𝐿𝐴𝑀𝑂𝑅𝐼𝑁𝐺 of the people made Jade aware of Ned Stark's presence. Sansa smiled at her father being dragged on the platform. She, herself also held a subtile smile, a hope that made her think Cersei took care of Joffrey and forced him if he didn't urderstand freely not to kill the Stark Lord.

"I am Eddard Stark." he said trough his heavy, tired breath "Lord of Winterfell and Hand of the King. I come before you to confess my treason in the sight of Gods and men. I betrayed the faith of my King and the trust of my friend, Robert." Eddard let his head down "I swore to protect and defend his children, but before his blood was cold, I plotted to murder his son and seize the Throne for myself. Pet the High Septon and Baelor the blessed bear witness to what I say: Joffrey Baratheon is one true heir of the Iron Throne"

Joff looked in his mother's way, smiling at her "by the grace of all the Gods, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm"

"As we sin, so do we suffer" Pycelle's sentence was sent straight into the core of Jadeyn's soul "This man has confessed his crimes in sight of Gods and men. The Gods are just, but beloved Baelor taught us they can also be merciful. What is to be done with this traitor, Your Grace" he turned to the King

Joffrey rose his hand, quieting the crowd "My mother wishes me to let Lord Eddard join the Night's Watch, stripped of all his titles and powers, he would serve the Realm in permanent exile. And my Lady Sansa has begged mercyfor her father" Joff and Sansa smiled at each other

"But they have the soft hearts of women, so as long as I'm your King, treason shall never go unpunished" Jadeyn's face twisted when she heard it.
