Jamie came to see lana the next day, he came on his horse which he tied up outside. They spent the whole day in each other's arms, lana just wished he didn't have to leave.
"So how's things, at the red keep." She asked when he was about to leave.
"It's, well, busy. Cersei has tyrion in custody but there is no one she doesn't suspect."
"Has she asked about me."
"I told her you went to see some friends, lana i think she knows about us." He caught her by the shoulders as if to make sure she was listening.
"What? How could she know." Lana knew she had always been careful, she felt sick to her stomach.
"She's been acting strangely, she keeps asking if I think your pretty and if anything happened between us."
"And what did you say." Lana asked
"I said shes more beautiful and I only had eyes for her, I think she's even got one of her spy's watching me."
"Well did they follow you here." She asked frantically.
"No of course not, lana listen to me. We are going to be fine, we'll get through this." He kissed her on her waiting lips.
"I have to go, I love you."
"I love you, be careful." Lana told him as he left.
Lana paced the room for a while when he had gone, she couldn't concentrate on anything.
"Edi, where is lord bayelish?" Lana asked when she was bought her supper.
"He's downstairs in his study, shall I tell him that you require his presence." She said as Lana put the tray she gave her on the side table, Lana wasn't very hungry.
"Yes please." Edi left to get him and In a few minutes he was there with his usual devilish smile.
"You wanted me."
"I need a drink." Lana said seriously.
"Good job i bought one then isn't it." He had a bottle of wine behind his back, he grabbed 2 cups from the table and poured it out, handing lana one.
"Are you sure Cersei or anyone for that matter doesn't know I'm here."
"Of course not, why have your heard talk that someone does." He sipped from his cup.
"No, it's just Jamie said some things, apparently she thinks we were in a relationship or something." Lana knew what she was saying sounded bad.
"And he told her there was nothing going on."
"Yes, but I mean how could she have known, we were so careful." Lana continued pacing around the room.
"Look, that doesn't matter now, just let this whole Joffrey thing settle down and then you and Jamie can go off together." He looked serious but that seemed like a distant dream now.
"Yes I'm sure you are right."

Lana woke up with a fright. She could hear screaming from downstairs, lana got out of bed hastily and slipped her robe on. She was about to light a candle when the door burst open and the room lit up.
Lana span around to be faced with twenty or so knights and a handful of kings guards.
"Lana snow you are under arrest as issued by the queen regent in the interest of the king." A tall knight that lana didn't recognise stepped forward to grab her but she moved backwards knocking over her night table.
"I don't understand, I haven't done anything." Lana was panicking inside, Cersei had done this on purpose because of her and Jamie.
At that monent, Littlefinger came through the door with two knights either side him holding him.
"Petyr what is going on?" Lana asked frantically noticing how the knights gripped him tightly.
"They think you killed the king and I'm under arrest for knowing and holding you here." He admitted.
"That's not true, tell them, tell them I didn't kill the king." Lana's heart was beating so fast it felt like it was going to escape her chest.
"Lana they are past the point of listening." He said sadly.
The tall knight stepped forward once again and grabbed Lana's arm spinning her around, lana felt the cold iron chains he secured around her wrists. He once again grabbed her by her arm and began marching her through the brothle to get outside. Lana struggled against the restraints but she was in shock and too weak to fight. Outside there were two carriages, one for her and one for Petyr. The knight practically threw her inside and locked the door.
Inside, the windows were blacked out and there wasn't even any seats. Lana just sat there on the floor in her white silk nightdress hoping this was a bad dream even though she knew it wasn't.
