Lady of Winterfell

Chapter Forty-Four: Edmure and Roslin's Wedding

"How would you like your hair done, Your Grace?" Kari asked when she had finished brushing Sanira's hair, she was a little unsure how to approach this after being put into Sanira's household the night before. 

It had been a little awkward since they had been with their new mistress and neither of them really knew what to expect from the woman that was Queen in the North. 

"Down is fine," Sanira reassured her, it felt strange having someone that wasn't Aiana doing her hair; she had always had her loyal friend with her and it had been strange without her in the past few months. 

Aiana was still in Beckton with Catelyn and Karlon, a place where she would stay until this war was over and Sanira wanted nothing more than to keep her son safe. 

Kari nodded her head as she made sure that Sanira's hair looked okay, it just would not do for the Queen to look unpresentable at the wedding later on. 

"My Grandfather has sent you this gift, Your Grace... he requests that you wear it for the wedding," Walda said speaking up from where she was getting Sanira's dress ready, she carefully picked up the hair accessory that had been sent. 

It was so pretty and clearly suited for the Queen, Walda couldn't help but wonder where Lord Walder had gotten such a gift; she had never seen anything like this in the Twins before. 

Sanira turned around and eyed the gift, she felt a little uneasy about accepting such a thing from Lord Walder but she didn't wish to seem rude by turning it down. 

"Then I shall wear it," Sanira conceded making Walda nod her head before she handed it over to Kari so that she could carefully attach it to Sanira's hair; they were sure the Queen would look beautiful for the wedding. 

Sanira watched Kari work in the reflection of the mirror, she truly hoped that this awkwardness wouldn't linger for much longer.

It didn't take Kari long before she had attached the headpiece to the top of Sanira's head, she made sure that it wouldn't fall out before moving to help Walda with the dress that Sanira was going to wear. 

Sanira's brown eyes looked at her reflection, she still couldn't believe that she was a Queen; she didn't look or feel any different than when she was just a Lady of Winterfell. 

"This is very beautiful... Your Grace," Kari gushed admiring the Azaara snow bud earrings that Sanira had left since she had no plans to wear them, she carefully picked them up to look at them closely. 

Sanira snapped out of her thoughts and turned to look at what Kari was talking about, she had opted not to wear the earrings that she had been offered since they weren't her style and she didn't want to stand out too much. 

"You can borrow them for the feast tonight if you wish," Sanira said knowing that it couldn't hurt, she wasn't going to be wearing them and it would be a shame to go to waste. 

Plus, Kari was Roslin's cousin so it did seem only right that she looked nice for the wedding; Walda would be expected to dress the part since she was Lord Bolton's wife. 

Kari opened and closed her mouth, she wasn't sure what to say and she knew that it was unheard of for a Queen to offer up her jewellery to her ladies like this. 

"It would be an honour... Your Grace," Kari finally said moving to set the earrings down, she felt very grateful that she had such a chance and she knew that everyone would be paying close attention to them tonight. 

Sanira nodded her head before getting to her feet, it was time to finally get into her chiffon flower printed maxi dress that she had chosen to wear for the wedding.
