The Last Velaryon - Robb Stark

25 - The Future Lady Lannister

Chezney's pov

Riding back into the Stark camp on horseback with one leg on each side of the horse I tugged the reins making him stop where I slowly climbed down off my saddle.  Tying my horse back underneath the stable building I brushed my fingers through its mane hearing footsteps coming behind me. "Lady Chezney,  a letter has arrived for you."

"You swear you've been secretive of these yes Ser Lannister?" I whispered under my breath, taking the sealed letter from his hand.  After Robb had sent him to deliver the peace terms I had been paying him in some food scraps so long as he would come back and deliver my letters to and from Tyrion.

He nodded his head yes before hearing someone coming towards us. "I should go, my lady." He ducked his head down using as much of his cloak to hide his face as possible vanishing into the woods outside the camp.

Haelesa was apparently the one coming over to me and she seemed to have been crying because she was all red in the face. "Hey Hael, so what did he want to talk about?"

"He gave me a crapass apology thinking I would forgive him easily."

I gasped wishing so badly I could hit the Stark king upside the head right now. "That cunt!"

"Chezney!" She warned me.

Shifting the letter in my left hand underneath my cloak I throw my right hand up in the air. "No, he needs to be called out for that.  He claims that he loves you but then he obviously doesn't because of how he's been treating you."

"I suppose you're right.  What are you holding underneath your cloak?" My best friend tilted her head seeing that I had kept one hand underneath my cloak, leaving my freehand hanging on the other side in her view.

I bite my lip avoiding her gaze. "Nothing.  My hands have just been cold unless I stuff them underneath my cloak."

"We're no in the North.  We are getting further South so you shouldn't need to be warm.  So what are you really hiding from me, Chez?" She raised a brow at me knowing when I was lying.

Slowly pulling out my hand that had the sealed letter I showed it to her. "I've been sending secret ravens to King's Landing."

"What! Why?" She blurted out completely awestruck.

Tucking hair behind my ear I slipped the scroll back underneath my cloak. "You're not the only person to apparently be captivated by a lion."

"Jaime has escaped camp.  Why didn't you tell me before now?"

Shaking my head, I corrected her. "It's not him.  It's his brother, Tyrion."

"How did it happen, when did it happen, why didn't you tell me, does he love you-"

I began listing her answers off my fingers. "One we formed a bond while drinking wine at Winterfell, two it happened in a matter of days and he gave me something from him as a parting gift, three you've been busy shuffling around things here as queen I didn't wish to bother you, and four we have said I love you yet.  Although I doubt when we get to the city that Robb will spare him simply because he's a Lannister too."

"I'll do my best to make sure Robb doesn't kill him.  If he wishes for me to forgive him this shall be the first step in that direction.  You don't have to worry, I'll ensure it, Chezney."

Flinging my arms around her neck we embraced the other in a warm hug before she broke it. "Thank you, Haelesa."

"I'll see you later.  I'd like to read your other letters if you'd allow me the chance." Haelesa smirked, spinning on her feet and walked away giving me the chance to go read the letter.  Pushing my way through the entrance of my tent I sat down at the table in the corner breaking the lion sigil beginning to read the letter he had sent me. "Dear Chezn,
I must say that this letter won't have as many jokes as my previous ones about how everyone in this city isn't as clever as me.  Instead it has some sad news to it.  I will be forced to marry someone by my father Tywin who is now Hand of the King.  The lady is Sansa Stark of Winterfell.  I am sorry to write this to you but I wish you deserved to know what is happening.  I will always want to marry you and call my Lady Lannister.  Maybe the gods will be good and let us marry someday down the road, yours Tyrion." Laying the letter back down I lifted up my left hand letting the ring catch the light, twirling the ring on my finger remembering when he gave this to me.

Haelesa and Jaime hadn't come down for breakfast but I knew why just like everyone else in the castle did.  They were husband and wife now so everyone assumed they'd slept together, only Tyrion and I were the only two people who knew the real truth that she was still a virgin.  Standing by my horse I brushed its mane I heard footsteps coming up to me before I felt three taps on my lower back. "Chezney, I wasn't certain I would see you before we went our separate ways."

"I must say I wish you were coming back with us to King's Landing." I admitted tuning around to face him with my hands intertwined together in front of my stomach.

He smiled, bending his head down at his boots briefly. "I'm sorry to disappoint you.  But this might be my only chance to ever see the Wall.  I have to go see it."

"Well as long as you write down your adventures then we can try and both live through them."

Tyrion reached and dug around for something inside his pocket. "I want to give you something before I go.  When we reunite I'll do this properly of course but this is for the moment."

"Ohh Tyrion.  It's beautiful." I took the small band from his fingertips that had a lion engraved into it.

He smiled, taking it from my hand sliding it on my left hand. "I'll have one of my mothers made up for you in time.  But this should do, will you marry me Chezney Ally?" He lowered himself down on one knee before my eyes.

"Yes.  Yes I will.  I'll become your wife someday." I grinned, helping him up to his feet leaning down and kissing him before we heard some people talking and coming in our direction so we broke away from one another.
