"All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood"
- I love you - the Lannister was sincere.
Brienne smiled:
- Me too.
At that moment, the blonde seemed to lose consciousness for a second, or maybe two. Jaime had completely forgotten the place and the moment he was in, he could only focus on Brienne. She shook her head and seemed to wake up again. Jaime, without thinking what he was doing and seeing that he was going to lose forever any opportunity to do so, approached Brienne and kissed her on the lips. The newly appointed knight seemed to recover some life and strength, and smiled at him. She tried to incorporate, but could not.
- I also wanted to do it - she assured him, breathing shortly.
And with the little strength she had left, she managed to ask Jaime for one last thing:
- Be happy for both of us, Jaime. Fight and live. I order it to you. And take care of Sansa, even if she doesn't want you to... just take care of her.
Jaime nodded.
After looking at him one last time, Brienne smiled and closed her sapphire eyes forever. He stroked her bruised cheek and broke again to cry. He would have wished to abandon himself in a sea of tears, and even let himself die, but the cries of the living demanding his help brought him back to reality. He had to fight. And live. Hardly, and with a vital force that he had not felt before, he sat up and continued wielding the sword, he was a knight with a mission to fulfill, and knights, do not break their promises just like that.
However, before continuing the battle, he replaced his sword with Brienne's, a small symbolic gesture so that the woman who didn't break her word could fulfill her last order: win the Battle of Winterfell.
The Dragon Queen lived up to her last name and, as if she were Aegon the Conqueror, she rode a dragon, throwing flares and ending the greatest enemy that Westeros, or that humanity had ever seen.
