Jaime Lannister, wearing his distinctive golden armour, descends into the dungeons of the Red Keep where me and Ramsay are being held. My face lights up with surprise and relief upon seeing my uncle.

'Jaime. I didn't expect to see you here.' I say surprised.

'Catherine, my dear niece. I came as soon as I heard what happened. Are you both alright?' Jaime asks smiling sadly.

'Ser Jaime Lannister. What brings you down here?' Ramsay asks eyeing Jaime cautiously.

'I've come to see for myself what trouble you've gotten my niece into, Ramsay.' Jaime speaks addressing Ramsay.

'Uncle Jaime, Ramsay has been nothing but loyal and supportive. He's helped me more than you could ever imagine.' I speak quickly.

'Ramsay Bolton? The same man known for his... ruthless methods?' Jaime asks skeptically.

'My reputation precedes me, Ser Jaime. But Catherine and I share a bond that goes beyond appearances.' Ramsay says calmly.

'I see. Well, regardless of past grievances, it seems you care for Catherine.' Jaime says studying Ramsay.

'With all my heart, Ser Jaime.'

'Very well. I'm here to help you both. But we must bide our time and wait for the right moment to escape.' Jaime nods.

'Thank you, Uncle Jaime. We trust your judgement.' I say gratefully.

'Stay patient. I'll gather our allies and plan a distraction. When the time is right, I'll come for you.'

'We'll await your signal, Ser Jaime.' Ramsay nods in agreement.

Jaime gives us a reassuring smile before taking his leave, leaving me and Ramsay with renewed hope for our escape from Cersei's clutches.

'We're not alone, Ramsay. Uncle Jaime will help us.' I say to Ramsay.

'We'll be free soon, Catherine. I promise you.' Ramsay smiles faintly.

Together, me and Ramsay wait for the moment my uncle will lead us to freedom, determined to defy my mother and reclaim our future.
