New chapter here:) I own nothing of course, Thank you oneofshadows (who had A LOT of work to do for this one with all my terrible mistakes) :)


What a night. He waited for hours but sleep never came; maybe it was the fact that he couldn't stop thinking about his meeting with Brynden and Roslin that prevented him from falling asleep. Or maybe the anxiety to meet King Stannis. Or both.

Yesterday hadn't changed a lot, he always felt like he was trapped between love and hatred. Yes, she was so beautiful and sweet… But she was still a Frey… He knew he couldn't speak to her for long before his feelings towards her family made him say things he might regret later. But when he looked into her eyes, he saw Walder Frey's eyes, begging him for his life, the rat he was. Things were too complicated, he couldn't let his feelings for her, whatever they were, prevent him from working. He had a lot to do before leaving for King's Landing.


-"My lady, the tailor is here for you. Should I let him enter?"

-"Yes, Rosalyne."

The handmaiden opened the door, allowing a small elderly woman to come in.

-"Good morning, my lady. Better we do it fast so that the Lord Tully can send it as quickly as possible!"

The meeting lasted only 10 minutes, the time for the woman to take all the measures she needed. When she left the room, Roslin asked her handmaiden, Rosalyne, for how long she had been in Lord Tully's service.

-"Actually, my lady, I arrived a week before you."

-"So we're both new here… Where did you live before coming here?"

-"I lived in Maidenpool with my mother, my lady. When she died I left with my sister, we had heard that Riverrun needed people to help in the kitchen and with other things. My sister works in the laundry now."

-"And how old are you, you and your sister?"

-"I'm seventeen, my Lady, and she's fourteen."

-"She's so young! I hope the work isn't too difficult for her. You'll come with us in King's Landing, I believe. I hope you will like it."

Her tone was calm and serene. The thought of seeing her daughter again delighted her, and the fact that Edmure had forgiven her for yesterday was just what she needed to complete her happiness. Now, she only had to wait for someone to take her to the nursery, she would finally have a chance to see her again, she had ached for her so much during those two weeks. Sometimes the pain was such, that she surprised herself imagining having Minisa in her arms, speaking to her out loud. She knew she wasn't mad. She knew it. Of course, if she was, she wouldn't be the first case in her family but…No, no she wasn't! She couldn't be! She was so close now to her goal! The handkerchief she was holding in her hands broke under the pressure. Maybe, she was… No, no, she wouldn't let such a thing happen! She was a Frey and Tully, she would be stronger than that.

-"Rosalyne, I want to go to the nursery,now."

-"My lady… I think we have to wait for…"

-"I said now."

-"Yes, my lady."

When they reached the nursery, the place was occupied by a young woman who held a baby in her arms. Understanding that one of the two women was Lady Tully the wet-nurse curtsied.

-"Can you give me my daughter?"

-"Yes my Lady."

The woman approached her and put the baby into Roslin Frey's arms. The little girl was very calm and did nothing when Roslin started to cradle her. She stayed like there for what seemed like an hour.

-"My lady, it wouldn't be wise to stay here for too long. Lord Edmure still has not forgotten your heritage and has certainly not forgiven you for it, although you're hardly to blame. You should go before he notices your presence here," Lord Brynden's voice broke the peace in which she was.

-"I know I should go but… I can't leave her like that. Will I be allowed to see her before leaving?"

-"I'll try to bring her to your apartments tomorrow."

-"Thank you, my lord. I'll leave then."

On the way to her apartments she could only think to the trip to King's Landing. She would be able to stay with her daughter all the way and yes, she'd see King's Landing for the first time! The news brought her joy and fear. She'd be able to see all the beauties of the court and King Stannis and Queen Sansa! But… they would despise her, wouldn't they? Queen Sansa would never let her being presented publicly. Gods, she didn't feel good… She needed to rest now, rest and sleep for a while. She would think about that later.
