Iron Will

She got paid and she didn't ask questions, at least that was the promise a guard had to make when taking under the table deals for a little extra money on the side. But now, she had nothing but questions. Ser Airyn found her next not-so-legal job in keeping tabs on Lady Katherine of Riverwood during her participation in The Golden Trials, a traditional ceremony that kicks off the coronation of the King's Heir in which the perfect bride is chosen through a series of competitions. What started off as a dull task slowly becomes a challenge for Ser Airyn as she finds herself starting to fall in love for the first time.

Lady Katherine of Riverwood dreaded her selection as a competitor in The Golden Trials. She had no interest in marrying, let alone a soon-to-be king who needed to drag women to his home and have them compete for who could flatter his ego the most and win a treasury full of money. Just a bunch of political moves, all extremely boring, until she realises there is far more at play at these trials... starting with that mysterious guard who is watching her.
