"Do you think Joffrey will like me?" Sansa asked while mother was doing her hair. "What if he thinks I'm ugly?" I sighed, I'm the young one but she always act's like the baby. "Then he is the stupidest prince that ever lived" mother replied.
"He's so handsome." She said, I rolled my eyes at that statement, the only thing she has been talking about since the King's arrival is the prince. "When would we be married? Soon? Or do we have to wait?" And now she is talking about marriage? Is she so eager to leave me, I frowned and walked out without saying a word.
Later that night, the King was doing the thing he do best, getting drunk, I sat in between Sansa and Jeyne, As everyone was celebrating, I was fuming, my own sister wanted to be a queen then being my sister and after everything I do for her, she would just let me go like that.
I saw Sansa getting out of her seat but instead of going alone she grabbed my hand and pulled me with her, but before I could protest we were standing in front of our mother and the Queen.
"Hello little doves." the Queen said smiling, while Sansa smiled out of being flushed, I smiled out of courtesy and respect after all she is the Queen.
"You two are a beauty." She said "How old are you two?" We simultaneously said "Thirteen" but Sansa added 'Your Grace'. The Queen looked at me then at Sansa "You're taller than your sister, and still growing". Sansa nodded her head. "Have either of you bleed yet?" My eyes widen at her statement, did she really just ask me that, I just met this women today. "No, we haven't your grace" I said while glancing at Sansa and my Mother.
"And your dresses, did you two make it" The Queen asked, We both nodded "Such talent, one of you should make something for me." Me and Sansa smiled and walked away but I didn't go back to the table I walked outside.
As I was walking I heard noise and I went to investigate until I came across my father's bastard hitting a dummy. "Are you mad at that, or are you mad that you didn't get to attend the feast with the King?" but he doesn't seem to care what I say so I went on. "Or are you mad that Father is sending you away to a wall full of men?" That seemed to get his attention because he turned around "It was my idea to go the wall, not Father's." I gave a fake gasp "The noble bastard, protecting the North from Wildlings and whatever else lies beyond it." I started to laugh.
"Well this noble bastard, is what going to keep you and your family safe at night" Jon replied with a smirk on his face, I stopped laughing and said "I'm going off to see my Mother now, seems you never had that pleasure" and with that I walked off. But I knew I won this round.
I started to walk back to the castle but I bumped into someone along the way, I looked up to see a man, I know he isn't from the South, because he has a northern look to him, He was about three years my senior but had a boyish look to him "I'm sorry, M'lady, I didn't see where I was going." I have never seen this man in Winterfell before. "Who are you and why are you near the keep?" I asked.
"Apologies, my name is Damon, I came here to serve House Stark" He said kneeling to me. I was use to kneeling, but never anybody kneeling to me. "You may rise, but in order to serve House Stark you must go talk to my father." I said as he was standing back up, I noticed a whip on his hip "Why do you have a whip?" I asked in my curiosity, He smiled and simple said "I train dogs." I nodded my head and said 'follow me.'
As I was trying to find my father, Me and Damon got more acquainted, turns out he left his home because he was trying to feed his family. I finally found my father and tapped his shoulder, He turned and said "I was looking for you, It's time for bed." I sighed and said "I was looking for you also, this fine man wants to serve you." I guess my Father didn't realize him because he looked shocked to see someone standing behind me. "M'lord, I beg of you, please allow me to serve you and your family" He said knelling again for the second night.
I could see my father was hesitant, so I worked my magic "Oh, please father let him serve you, I didn't want to tell you, but there was a man outside of the stables and he tried to attack me but Damon bravely fought him off." My Father eyes went wide at this statement and I knew I got him.
"You will be Lady Lyarra sworn shield." My Father told him, He got up and said "I will bring your House honor M'lord." My father turned from him and told me "Go to bed." I whispered a 'Yes papa' and ran to my room.
When I walked to the room I got tackled by an unknown person I was about to scream, that's when I heard giggling I looked up to see Arya, I pushed her off of me, while she couldn't contain her laughs "Look at your face." I knew my face was red "Shut up, shouldn't you be asleep anyway." She stopped laughing and said "I was worried about you, and father was looking for you." I chuckled and said "Well I'm here now, you can rest easy" at least one sisters cared about me. When I got into bed Sansa's back was turned from me, I laid my back against hers and started to drift to sleep until I heard her say "I'm glad you didn't get hurt."
I huffed and said "Oh, really I didn't think you noticed, I was gone since your precious Joffrey is the only thing you think of now." She didn't say anything after that so I resumed to go to sleep.
