The Strange Lady

The Assassin In The Ball: Part 2

I hear the music playing in the back while lords started to invite ladies for a dance. Lyanna was sipping her ale while me and Melara were sipping our wines. Discussion about future battles that were bout to be particularly boring for Melara, unless of course it involved young and handsome knights that are going to participate in it. I was enjoying my time with them but something bothered me about the disappearance of Jaime, especially Sam. Where the hell are they?  Could it be that no matter what I intend to do.....some thing won't change? If that's the case then Im afraid it will be a big difficulty of not punching anyone at this point.

"Lady Cersei. Prince Rhaegar himself attended the feast. How exciting!" Melara cheered with delight while looking at me for my reaction. I snapped from my thoughts just in time to see Lyanna awkwardly sipping her ale when Melara mentioned Rhaegar. I grinned at Lyanna and nudged her by my elbow while proclaiming.

"Im sure lots of ladies were just waiting for his arrival. Is that right, Lyanna?" Lyanna almost choked on her drink while trying her best not to show a hint of blush forming in her cheeks. Melara giggled while I kept my smile when Lyanna tried to hide her emotions of fluster.

"I'm certainly not waiting for his arrival! Or anyones really" This time I laughed while teasingly said In her face

"Oh Lyanna don't be so humble, can't you see? almost every lady in here can't wait to ravish the prince an-" I was cut of by Melara who covered my mouth while shushing me, looking around for unwilling ears. Lyanna clutched her fist and looked like she was about to hit me. Yet, I stopped and continued to drink my wine and changed the subject. Melara though was persistent and asked without hesitation

"How about you Cersei? if you were to have the chance....would you marry the prince?" I just looked at Melara like she suddenly told a good joke

"Him?! My husband?! Not until he becomes a dragon and learns how to fly I will not. Haaha" I laughed while Lyanna and Melara both looked at me confused

"But before you said-" Melara stated before I caught her off

"Shh-Shh-Shh-SHHHH! What I said before is the past. I have no interest on marrying the prince."

"Why not? Think about it, you will be the queen of Seven Kingdoms and your children will be the future heirs of the Targaryen Dynasty. What more a girl would wish for." Melara said excitedly while I drank my wine. Annoyed, I looked at her and simply said 

"Just because I'm a queen, doesn't mean I will get to do everything I desire. Queens have a huge responsibility and not just for her people, but for the realm as well. Constant pressure from your servants for more heirs is not very pleasant. Disputes, wars, drama and more drama will be an unbearable headache and not including rumours. So no, I'd rather wife myself then marry a man who will put such burden on me. " I looked at both girls before continuing 

"Besides, the prince is betrothed, no need to dream of a man you will never have." Melara was shocked by my answer, Lyanna stood quiet while grabbing chicken leg from the table, also shocked, yet a bit guilty. Lyanna's look seems a bit off.  What exactly is she hiding?

While eyeing around Tyrion I suddenly spot a beautiful woman dancing with lords in her purple dress and raven like hair. She is certainly stunning, especially with her violet eyes...wait....could it be Ashara Dayne? It can't possibly....I took a closer look and this time I stood up and excused myself before coming closer to the lady. ohhhhh ok its her. 

"Shit." I murmured at her and gave a worried expression. She might get "dishonoured" by some guy and commit suicide after Rebellion. She is certainly beautiful and it's kind of pity that she will die like this. Only This girl will....die. For nothing.
