Let Them Burn~ A Song of Ice and Fire Fanfic

Chapter 5- Kingslayer

Present Day Kings Landing 

Jaime's Pov

When I had walked into the gates of Kings Landing no one noticed me, I wasn't the Lord Commander, or a Lannister in that moment. No one recognized me, I was no one. And it felt refreshing, not being the Kingslayer for 5 minutes brought a sense of ease. It was a feeling I haven't felt in many years. I walked through the crows of people at the Merchant stands, I looked up at a figure of a girl... A woman. Her hair was long and dark brown, her yellow dress had Dorne written all over it, the only thing that contradicted her Dornish look was her light skin tone. For a minute I found myself wishing for it too be the girl from my past, I wanted her too turn around to show Rhelia. I couldn't stop myself from saying her name hoping my suspicion was right. 

 The girl turns around her violet eyes widen... "Jamie?"

I begin to walk towards her and she finally finds it in herself to come towards me, she touches my face and then looks down too my hand. She gasps, " Darian get a guard quick!"

"I'm really fine, I've had help..." 

"Nonsense... we need too get you cleaned up come on..." 

The girl leads us back too the castle, it had been almost a year since I was last here. The girl lets go of my arm and enters a room I go to follow her but she stops me and shakes her head. I look back too Brienne who just looks at me and looks back towards the door that was shut in our face. Out of all people who walk out is my Father.

Rhelia's Pov

The door slammed behind me, and for a moment i am able to grasp my breath. I flop down in a chair as my feet give out on me. i take the pins out of my hair and let my long dark hair flow, my hands clasps my chest. I fight back the tears that form, I'm fighting back the memories that fight too the surface. Seeing Jamie made everything come rushing back, i had almost 7 years of drowning the past built up. Seeing Jamie took down all the walls i had tried so hard to build up. 

I pour a glass of wine, i sigh. this was an addiction i would never get rid of. I blame Tyrion for this, i grant myself a small chuckle thinking about the drunk himself. Thinking about Tyrion only pollutes my thoughts with Jamie, I blame Tyrion for that too. I begin to get angry, I throw the glass of wine across the room. This triggers Darian to fling the door open too come to my rescue. 

"Princess...." He looks around the room to find me rugged looking, panting hard. 

"Its only me..." I turn too look at the mess I had made, i look around too the mirror and see the craze that has washed over me. I push the straggly hairs back and compose myself once again, "Have you heard anything of Jamie?"

 "Princess... should i get something too clean this up?" i look at the man standing in the door way. 

"ohh..." I look back too the mess, "Yes that's...that's a good idea." He leaves again and before anyone rejoins me in the room i rush out and down the hall in the opposite direction. I don't have a clue too where I'm going but I want out. 

I head down the corridors, and out too a balcony, I feel the ocean breeze on my skin. I climb down the stairs, and out the gate. i find myself on a small ledge that overlooks the water, i look down at the rocky terrain as the waves crash against them. I lie down and look up at the looming height of the Red Keep, as it stares back down at me. blocking the sun from bracing my skin.
