Game Of Thrones:Lady Blackthorne

CHAPTER 6

Baelish and one of his whores walked onto the dock together and headed towards Sansa and Aldarra.

Sansa chuckled and said, “Don't you know the truth is always either terrible or boring.” Aldarra smiled at her.

Baelish said with his masked smirk and smile on, “Lovely day for it. Watching the ships?”

Sansa nodded her head, “Lord Baelish.”

Baelish rudely said to Aldarra, “Might I speak with Lady Sansa alone for a moment? I'm sure Lord Lannister is probably already looking for you anyway, Lady Blackthorne.” Aldarra looked at Sansa remembering their conversation after overhearing Baelish with her earlier. They were going to set him up one day for being the snake that he was. Sansa had a look on her face like she didn't want to be alone with him.

Sansa said, “You can say anything in front of Aldarra. She is my close friend and in a similar situation.” Baelish noticed the guards were back from the docks enough to not overhear.

Baelish said perturbed because he would have to word it all differently, “Fine then. I saw your mother not long ago. She is very eager to see you eventually. And your sister.”

Sansa asked curiously, “Arya's alive? You could take me home?”

Baelish said evasively, “You said King's Landing was your home. You are the property of the crown. Stealing you would be treason.” Aldarra thought, ‘Manipulative cunt.’

Sansa said, “I won't tell anyone and I know Aldarra won't.”

Baelish said snarkily, “How do I know she wouldn't run to her betrothed and tell him?”

Aldarra was looking at the lying bastard and wondering how he found out about Tywin and herself being betrothed because it had to be Cersei or her two boys. She said, “Because I don't want to be here anymore than Sansa does,  but I need my family sword in order to leave, but I am starting to realize that it may be unrealistic to wait. Until I can leave, I am being forced to marry him.”

Sansa said smiling eagerly, “Also because I'm a terrible liar, but I completely trust her. You said I was a terrible liar yourself. Please, Lord Baelish, tell me what to do? Tell me when I can go? Can we take Aldarra too?”

Baelish sighed thinking that two valuable women in the Erie, trapped in the fortress would be more profitable to manipulate to his agenda. There was one for the claim to the north and one to a very wealthy keep with lands and gem mines of inheritance. He acted like she was pushing him into it and said, “Depends, I'm waiting for word on an assignment that will take me far away from the capital. When I set sail, I might be able to take you with me. But you'll need to be ready to leave on a moment's notice. Perhaps, I might be able to, but cannot guarantee, Lady Aldarra can go if she gives up on her father's sword.” Both women agreed. He was excited to get away with them both and said good day to them both and left with his whore.

Aldarra whispered looking in Sansa's eyes, “Sansa, that man would be the death of you if you went anywhere with him alone. I know for a fact from listening to gossip that he is a horrible person stabbing everyone in the back because it suits him. Promise me not to go away with him or anyone? I could get you out of here safer, but with how everything is going with the war, it would be extremely dangerous for you and even both of us to travel. I guess I can try to protect you once I'm married to Tywin in nine days here. Trust nobody at all, but me, ok?” Sansa nodded and put her head on her new friend's shoulder as Aldarra patted her hand leaning her head on Sansa's. She knew what it was like to be alone and Sansa felt like a little sister.

Tywin approached with his guards and said reprimaning, “Aldarra, what the hell were you thinking of leaving like that out of the throne room? I had the Red Keep searched and didn't know where you were all this time until your guards sent a message. Come now!” He put his hand out to her.
