Brienne tried to hide her growing contempt for the girl. On the Kingsroad she had learned that the younger girl was long gone or likely dead. There was no point in searching for her, she had left Jaime vulnerable and exposed to whomever Sansa was expecting and her stomach turned at the thought of further harm coming to him.
The child had not spoken since they had boarded the ship, Brienne could smell the fear on her and had no use for it. She reasoned that she should talk to Sansa since she owed her life to Lady Stark. Before she could think of something to say the child spoke.
"Forgive me if I do not believe you, but will please explain to me how you came to be in the company of the Kingslayer and what service you owe my mother." Sansas voice deepened.
Brienne raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"Your mother saved me from death have after Lord Renly was murdered by Stannis. She thought to trade Ser Jamie for you and your sister. When we learned of your wedding and your sisters disappearance Jamie knew that they would never let you go. A loyal spy told him what he had heard about Tyrion's ill hatched plan and that's how we arrived at your door."
"Did Ser Jaime as you call him, tell you that he is the true father of the Queen Cersi's children" Brienne slapped her, with such force her head snapped back. Blood trickled down Sansas chin to Brienne's mutual shame and satisfaction.
"I have been abused by worse." Sansa wiped her chin. "Whether you believe me or not Joffery is an abomination born of his mother's treacherous cunt and The Kingslayers twisted cock." Brienne watched as the girl braced herself for another blow.
Wiping away tears, Sansa rose from the wine barrel she had been sitting on and moved as far away from Brienne as possible.
Brienne could tell by the way the words hung on the child's lips that she had never used profanity in such a manner.
For the next hour Brienne did nothing but think of Jaime, it wasn't as if the girl could escape. Once they well past the ships guarding Kingslanding the captain would show them to their quarters, for now they were in the cargo hold.
