Lyanna and I are walking across the field, holding hands and talking about the tourney and how exciting it would be since it is the biggest tourney we both were invited to. She brought our swords that were secretly snuck from the Stark camp. I mean we need swords to practice our swordsmanship somehow. As mentioned before Lyanna is not quite silent and she speaks her mind because she's a badass. She is kind, yet she can be brave and daring whenever facing her enemy. I started to like her because of that. Maybe because Im similar with her qualities that I was able to get along with her.
As we continue walking I start to wonder about her and Raeghar. The stupid love of theirs has caused thousands of deaths for no fucking reason, some kind of a Romeo and Juliet caca bullshit.
I am her friend but even that makes me question about her. I look at Lyanna, she smiles and look forward as we walk discussing about her brothers and her family. All the time I spend on Lyanna I manage to make a conclusion: Lyanna knew Rhaegar before the tourney even started. Thats just my guess but Lyanna had to know him somehow when deciding to run away with him and abandon her family. So, I smile and innocently ask her
"Lyanna, I heard that you are betrothed to Robert. Congratulations!" Lyanna suddenly stops smiling, and her eyes become a bit gloomy when I mentioned her bethrothal. Yet, we continue walking and to show that I care I start to show her concern
"Lyanna, did I say something wrong?" Lyanna formed a small sad smile from her lips and looks at me with her grey eyes.
"No, nothing that you said were wrong. My father arranged that alliance and its my duty to comply his word. But what worries me is how you know I was betrothed...." I held my breath and awkwardly laughed. I stuttered while trying to make up an excuse.
"Uhhhhh well my servant is a good friend with one of the servants in your castle. Sooooo that's uuhh- how I knew."
Lyanna seems quizzicle at my explanation but laughed
"Ha! Thats how! Well I guess news spread faster than fire eh?!" I laughed awkwardly with her
"Ha....yeah." I Don't really like Robert. Sure he's cool and all but wanting to marry Lyanna just because of the idea of her is just wrong.
"Lyanna, I know that something is bothering you about Robert. If so tell me." Lyanna, being Lyanna started out of nowhere with her angry tone bashing Robert.
"Ugh, Cersei if only you knew how much I despise Robert! How much women did he layed with and once I become his wife Im afraid he won't stay in the same bed. Once we are married, I won't be the only women he will love." I look at Lyanna, her eyes now filled with frustration and disappointment rather than sadness. I sigh. As much as I don't want Lyanna to be with Robert and suffer because of his constant infidelities, I have to convince her that she should be with him. If not, well Rhaegar will ruin everything.
"Lyanna, I heard about Robert and what he does for his 'amusement'. Yet, you never-" Lyanna suddenly stops, turning to the left side of our corner. I follow her gaze and spot three squire boys beating a boy much smaller than them. As the small boywhimpers in pain and rolled his body to cover his stomach and face the other boys laugh at him and call him names
"haha!Frog Eater!..Frog Eater!"
With rage, Lyanna suddenly takes out her sword and begins to march towards them with a fierce expression. Thinking quick I grabbed her arm to stop her. Lyanna turns to my side with surprise and I whisper to her
"Wait, Lyanna...." Lyanna was about to protest anything I would say but I finished my sentence with a huge evil grin.
"....You forgot me" then I pull out my sword as Lyanna's lips form a smile. We started marching together and without any fear I roared at the three boys
"OI, YOU FUCKERS!!!!!" As the three boys stopped kicking the poor lad to seek the noise, we begin to sprint towards them with our swords high in the sky. I swing once on one of the boys and it caused a cut on his right cheek. The boy fell down by the cut and was terrified as he looked at me with his fearful eyes. While Lyanna was swinging her sword at the other boys they begin to move away from us. Since they had no swords with them, one of the boys nudged the others to get away and they scattered leaving the bruised up lad alone. No skills were required to scare these boys away so me and Lyanna weren't as tired as we used to be. The small lad barely gets up on his feet, shaking in the process. Lyanna puts down her sword and examines his bruises and cuts while his face was covered in blood.
"Howland, Are you alright?" Lyanna looks completely worried for Howland as he smiles with gratitude yet still feels pain on his body.
"Thank you m'lady and thank you...." Howland examines me as I approach him. In shock of knowing who I am he begins to stutter while pronouncing my title
"L-L-Lady L-Lannister?" I smile at Howland with pride and say with my most determined voice
"Yes, and you are Howland Reed, the son of the Lord of Greywater Watch. Don't worry, those fuckers will not bother you." Howland opens his mouth a bit with shock because of my knowledge of who he is or that Im a highborn lady that cursed.
"Yes, uhhhh m'lady. Thank you for saving me." Lyanna stops examining Holland's wounds and turns to my direction
"I will mend his wounds in my tent before the feast. He should be well by then." I nod at Lyanna and and look back at Howland and ask
"Are you able to walk Lord Howland?" Howland just straightens his posture and with winces of pain takes a step forward before almost collapsing if not for Lyanna wrapping her arms around his chest. I walk towards Howland and wrap his arm around my shoulders to carry him. Lyanna does the same on the other side for a better balance. I look up at Holland who tried his best not to show how much in pain he was. Then with a supporting tone I state to him
"Don't worry Howland, you will be alright. Some patches and bandages and your wounds will heal before your wedding." I give him a small wink. Howland, even though in a huge amount of pain still manages to blush at my remark. Lyanna only giggles as we march towards her camp.
