Chapter 5: To be or not to be

It was a sunny late summer day and the king, accompanied by his entourage, planned a hunting trip in the woods close to King's Landing.

~Elyna~

Elyna: Petyr, i heard the king is going on a hunting trip and i thought i may accompany him i am a very experienced archer.

Lord Baelish: Elyna this is not the right place for you. You're a lady now. Don't do me a disservice by acting like fool.

Elyna: Why am i acting like a fool? I just want to do what i love. All this sewing and cooking is not the right thing for me.

Lord B.: It is not always about what we want...to be or not to be Elyna. We all have to live up by the expectation of the westerosi people.

Elyna: I'm not a lady! I am a girl from the streets and i don't have to live up by anyone's expectations.

Elyna angrily went out of the room. She always went hunting with her father she remembered. And this man inside the room was not her father. He wouldn't understand and she wouldn't give in either.

~Joffrey~

Joffrey: A perfect day for hunting! Isn't it hound?

The Hound: Yes, your grace.

Joffrey and his guards walked through the thicket when Loras Tyrell ran towards the king.

Loras: Your grace, I think i've seen something between the trees over there! May be a deer. Shall i shoot it for you?

Joffrey: No, i will shoot it this time. I just need to figure out how to aim on such a distance. But don't you dare to take it from me!

Loras: Of course not your gra...

In this moment an arrow flu through the air and perfectly hit the deer in the throat. Dead.

Joffrey: Who was that?!

Silence. The guards couldn't explain what just happened.

Joffrey: Who shot that deer? I will let you be killed if you don't tell me!

Voice: I did.

The girl from the masked ball stepped out of the thicket. She definitly made a perfect shot but she stole it from the king.

Joffrey: You again. Do you think it's funny to make fun of me? Do you? Speak!

Elyna: No...i just wanted to...

Joffrey: I don't care what you want! What are you doing here anyway? As if this was the right place for a lady from king's landing.

Elyna: I am not a lady...

Joffrey: You live in my castle and i have a reputation to lose.

Elyna: But the castle was build by the targaryens and not by king robert...

Joffrey: That's enough! Who do you think you are talking to? I am Joffrey I and i will let you be arrested and guarded for that! Now go, i lost interest in hunting.

The girl sat behind the hound and looked angrily in every direction but not his. Joffrey was delighted by her view and even though she might have stolen his deer he had to admit that she has talent. Beautiful, intelligent and skilled that was what Joffrey always dreamed to find in his queen. Margaery was as beautiful as intelligent without any doubt but nevertheless joffrey was attracted to this rebellion of the girl he couldn't rememeber the name.

The arrest is still appropriate he smiled.
