Game of Thrones: Love in the Springtime

Chapter 9 of my Game of Thrones story; enjoy.

I apologize for the lateness I had to work overtime today, also Lysa is hard to write, and a challenge to do the relationship being viewed negatively in her manner, which is why this one is short too, but hopefully still gets the point across.

Reviews

Marina Ka-Fai: Thanks, glad you enjoyed it; glad you liked that little sign.
Wolfgirl2013: Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)
Veridissima: Thanks, glad you enjoyed it; yeah, glad you enjoyed that moment too.
rubini25: Thanks, glad you enjoyed it; well; that was in middle school; before her attitude scared the boys off, as for the girls well, it comes down to a simple word, envy.

Now onto the story.

Lysa

Lysa sighed as she carefully nursed her drink. She had to hand it to her sister; she certainly knew how to prepare a spectacular wedding. She recalled when she had received the invitation; asking if she would come. Of course she would, Cat was her sister; although she had to admit, being at the wedding of her oldest nephew made her feel old. Lysa shifted uncomfortably; she knew this was a happy occasion, but she couldn't help but be a bit jealous of Catelyn…again. She once again fretted on the great difference between herself and her sister. Cat had a great, if somewhat formal husband, five children, all of them were dating and her eldest was getting married to his girlfriend.

'In comparison, what do I have?' She thought forlornly. 'Married to an old man, only one son…one poor sick little boy.'

As she thought that she heard the laughter and looked over at where some of the younger wedding guests were gathered. She recognized one of the laughs as that of her son and she frowned.

'What is he doing, he could get hurt, what if those people…'

She stood up and began to hurry over to the table. However before she could make it she found herself 'accosted' by her sister.

She tensed and fought to keep her emotions in check.

"Lysa; I'm glad you were able to make it." Cat said, a genuine smile on her face. "Are you enjoying yourself?"

Lysa managed to smile back, although hers wasn't quite as genuine. "Yes, it was a beautiful ceremony Cat; and this place…it's incredible."

Catelyn beamed at her and left; Lysa admitted she felt some pity for her sister. Cat was busy, trying desperately to try and ensure everything was going smoothly. She then remembered her previous preoccupation and turned back to observe the group seated at the table. She calmed down, there was no trouble or danger. Robin was sitting there, smiling and laughing as he played a card game with several other guests. Most notably he was playing with Catelyn's youngest sons, Bran and Rickon, another boy sat next to her son; another she recognized and frowned.

'Robert and Cersei's youngest, what's he doing with my son.' She thought frantically. 'I can't just let him…'

She shook her head; the other boys were sitting there, there was nothing to worry about for now. It was then her she saw the last two people sitting at the table; they were not taking part in the game, but were watching and smiling. It was Cat's youngest daughter, Arya and her boyfriend; that young man, Gendry.

Lysa frowned bitterly; she couldn't understand how those two could behave the way they did. Had they no shame; it wasn't bad enough she had ended up marrying an old man once. But that had ended badly; which therefore irked her even more that Arya and Gendry's relationship seemed to be working well.

'It doesn't make sense, he's too old for her, too rough…she should be with someone worthy of her, someone with class.' She thought bitterly. 'How could she truly love someone so beneath her.'

She sighed and turned away from the group; heading back to the table where she had left her drink.

'Just wait; it won't be much longer till she realizes the truth…Then she'll see her mistake.'

With that embittered thought she turned away, deciding it was best she just stayed in the background, not wanting to do anything drastic that might cause some upset.


End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
