The Warrior

Chapter 3

Returned to the banquet, Alyssa, followed by Oberyn, found herself in front of a gruesome scene: the dying king Joffrey, with the drool coming out of his mouth, Queen Cersei squeezing him in his arms and shouting against Tyrion. "It was you, you have killed the king "," capture him ". Alyssa was paralyzed, did not know what to do. The guards took Tyrion to the prison. The king was dead. The first thing he did during the commotion was chasing Tyrion, but the guards hindered. So she retired to his room with his grandmother and sister."It was not him." Alyssa continued to repeat it. "Well he would not last long." Olenna, Alyssa's grandmother and Margaraey seemed not to be surprised from what happening. "I am unlucky, I'll never be a good queen." Margaraey seemed to think only of his ambition to become queen.
To King's Landing everything seemed so normal, even death does not ruffled tempers. The next day, it was not able to go to visit Tyrion, because Lord Tywin was discussing the process, but it was useless, because Cersei wanted him dead. Alyssa, by mistake, heard that Lord Tywin with the council was talking about the various witnesses to be brought to trial to testify against Tyrion, and they made also the name of Oberyn Martell.
"We have many people available, but the prince Oberyn will surely be happy to see a Lannister killed in exchange of the alliance with Dorne." He could not accept such a thing, the Lannisters would not win again deceiving. Late at night, after getting dressed , she went to see Oberyn Martell, to the hostel where he stayed.
When she entered, she took off his cap she had worn to avoid recognition. There was no one at that time was not surprised, it was very late and probably he was sleeping. She opened the door of the room, there were candles lit but no one came in . Took off his coat and began to look around, the bed sheets were made of silk, at the touch Alyssa felt a feeling of softness and serenity. She got close to  the table and drank a glass of wine.
"You should be cautious with the wine at this time." Alyssa jumped in fright. "I should not have come." She was on his way close the door when Oberyn closed it. "Stay. I think for coming at this hour, you have to tell me something important. " Oberyn got near the table and drank a glass of wine with his back to Alyssa who confessed the reason. "Prince Oberyn, I know I ask a lot, but something tells me that you are not like the Lannisters, you are a man with a moral, you are a man of honor. Please do not accept the offer of Lord Tywin. "
"I figured it was for your loved Lannister." He said smirking. "I said what I should tell you now if you allow me I will be on my way back." Alyssa said. "You never disturbed. Lady Alyssa ... I am forced to testify against him, but believe me, Tyrion will be all right. " "You really want to play at their petty game?" She asked angrily. "I have my reasons." "He did not kill the king and you know it!" Alyssa began to get nervous. "And anyway, why would you have believed to be able to change my mind?" "I have not planned, I just thought you were really a right person." "Lady Alyssa, sometimes you have to be mean to survive." "At least Tyrion will have witnesses?" "Yes, but who will get against the Lannisters?" "I will not abandon him." "You are very brave, but I'm sorry can not help you, I meditated this revenge for too long."
"So you want to get into the clutches of Lannister to hit them in the back?" "Exact. They'll pay for what they did to my sister. " "I'm sorry Prince Oberyn. However, I think that revenge will never bring peace. " "I will fight with Mountain and kill him." "You could get killed and for what? Revenge?." Alyssa got close to Oberyn. "Do not be silly, you will hurt people who love you." Oberyn looked at her tenderly, almost as if it were his mother. "Why not stay here? It 's too dark out, and I think you'd be safer here than at the castle. " "I can not, I must return. And then I do not want to hinder your partner. " "She is in good company." He said, a hint of a mischievous smile.
"Thanks but it came time to go." Alyssa was taking the mantle when Oberyn gently took his arm. "Please, stay here with me." His eyes were so desperate and lost that Alyssa could not resist him. She put down the cloak and she stood up. The situation, at least for her, it was embarrassing. Where would she sleep? And then Oberyn was a very mischievous, and certainly she could not give in to his advances. "I'll sleep on the couch." Alyssa said. "No, my lady, do not talk. You'll sleep in my bed. "He said "And you?" "Well ... if for you is not a problem, I will get in the corner of the bed and i will not bother you" "All right." Alyssa positioned herself on the bed while Oberyn was sitting in a chair, and was writing. "What do you write?" She asked. "Poems."  He answered . "For your beloved?" "For my daughters." He said concentrated. "Do you miss them?"
"A lot, but I'm sure they are having fun." He said smiling. "Lady Ellaria is their mother?" Asked curiously. "Yes, lady Alyssa, why always ask about her?" Oberyn got close to the bed. "I'm curious, your relationship is very mysterious. Forgive me." Oberyn approached her and lifted her chin with his fingers. "You can ask me anything. I have an open relationship with Ellaria. "He said. "So she will not be jealous?" Alyssa knew that was going to be caught in the net. "No, and even if it were, she could not stop me." Oberyn kissed her passionately and gently stretched out on the bed, Alyssa was ecstatic, felt a flame pass through her body. She took him by the head and kissed him, and then shake her legs between his buttocks. "We can not ..." said Alyssa hesitant. "Of course you do, get carried away by the pleasure." It was a very busy night, unforgettable for Alyssa. She had never met a man so talented and skilled in bed.
Alyssa got up early in the morning and got dressed. "Where are you going?" Oberyn kissed her neck from behind, and he squeezed her. "Prince Oberyn ..." "Call me Oberyn" "And you can be informal when you speak to me." "The same goes for you." "Oberyn I must return to the court, Tyrion is not in good hands." "You worry too much for him, you're sure it's just a friend?" He asked as he watched enchanted Alyssa dressing. "A good friend." She said. "I have to go, see you soon." She bent down to kiss him and he threw her on the bed. They both laughed. "I'll miss my queen." He kissed her passionately and let her go. She smiled faintly amused and she went away.
