Jaime tried in vain to prevent the tears that began to fall. Cersei had finally started her moonblood and he knew what that meant. They both knew. Soon their father would announce her betrothal to their elder brother.
A fortnight later King Aerys held a large celebration. His daughter Cersei's betrothal to his son Rhaegar was officially announced to take place in three moon's time. What neither twin expected was that Jaime's betrothal was announced as well. He was to marry Elia Martell on this very day of the following year.
"You cannot marry her!" Exclaimed Cersei to her him later that night, after they had made love.
"I don't have a choice. It's not as if father would let me join our King's Guard to get out of this marriage."
She wrestled free from his warm embrace and sat up, staring down at him. "I don't like this."
"I can talk to father...maybe I can convince him. Maybe he could marry Elia to Rhaegar, and you to me. We're twins. One soul in two bodies. You always tell me so. We should marry."
She shook her head violently in disagreement and the light from the candles almost made her pale blonde hair look golden. "I wouldn't be Queen then. I want to be Queen, Jaime."
"More than you want me?" He asked, sitting up and staring into her eyes with a hurt look.
"I...I don't know. I love you, but I want to be Queen one day."
He turned away from her and forced his voice to be neutral. "It's late. I should get back to my chambers."
