Chapter 5: Jealousy
Jeyne stood in her bedchamber with her arms folded across her chest and a frown on her face as she was looking out of her window and seeing two figured walking around the gardens. She had this feeling in her chest and she hated herself for feeling that way.
The two figures that she was looking upon was her betrothed and the Stark Princess. They were just walking and talking but she had never seen Lord Tyrion laugh like that before. She hated the fact that she who will be his wife did not make him laugh like that. What hurt her the most was that the Princess was once his wife as well. If things turned the other way she would not be even here and would not be marrying into the Lannisters.
Her father was so happy that she was marrying into the Lannisters. Even if they are not as powerful as they were before and as rich yet they were still very powerful and rich. It was the best match that the Westerling had for many years. Her family were not as rich and powerful as they once were when they Targaryen's were in power but they still had their name and above all they had their pride.
Jeyne heard the Princess laugh so melodically that it made her chest tighten. They were both sitting on a bench now and Tyrion was telling her a story. He was very invested into the story and the Princess was taking every word he said. It brought tears into her eyes. Tyrion was always reserved with her. Always watched what he said and never laughed so hard. It hurt her because as much as she heard bad things about Tyrion and his whoring and drinking people were also talking how kind and generous and smart he was. How he can make everyone laugh and how good he was at story telling. She wanted to see that side of her betrothed. They were to wed in three days time yet she felt like she did not know him.
Jeyne looked once again at the pair and closed her eyes and shook her head. She was a very proud creature and she will not complain. She had no right. They were not married yet.
Sansa held her belly as it was aching from laughing so much. She looked at Tyrion and wiped her cheek. He was sober and it was a rare sight to see him like that.
"How are you Tyrion? Tell me the truth now that we are face to face." Sansa said and watched as Tyrion lost his smile and looked at Sansa.
"What do you want me to say. I am getting married once again." Tyrion said and looked at his hands.
"Must you say it like it will be the death of you. So you are getting married and you will start a family. Have children. Is is so bad." Sansa looked at Tyrion.
"It is not me that i am worried about Sansa. Jeyne says she is happy and that she is fine with me being her husband but i am a dwarf and i am shamed by people and so will she be shamed" Tyrion said and Sansa shook her head.
"You seem to forget that you are the second most powerful person on the South Kingdom. You can do whatever you want. You proved everyone who laughed at you wrong. Ladies will be jealous of Jeyne. I heard them talk. Saying that she is not good enough for you. Times have changed Tyrion. For everybody even for you." Sansa said and Tyrion looked at her with his eyes wide.
"Really they have been saying that. Who in the right mind would want to be married to me." Tyrion said and Sansa shook her head.
"You need to stop putting yourself down. Many Ladies would. They have heard about they way you are in bed and wanted to try." Sansa said with a blush and Tyrion laughed.
"Well i cannot fault them there. I am great in bed." Tyrion said and Sansa laughed. She missed him greatly. Tyrion was a good friend to her in the last couple of years. They have wrote regularly to each other. She considered him as her mentor and she was glad that he will be having a family of his own.
"So tell me how is your betrothed. What kind of person is she." Sansa asked and Tyrion chuckled.
"She is nice. Very nice and she is warm and very kind. She is intelligent as well and is able to keep up with me in a conversation" Tyrion said with a small smile and Sansa punched his shoulder.
"Is someone in love?" Sansa said with a smile and Tyrion just gave her a look.
"I am not in love Sansa." He said and Sansa shook her head.
"Whatever you want to say. I know that look. You have feelings for her." Sansa said and Tyrion just shook his head.
"Well i hear that you are going to wed the Queens brother. How is that for you?" Tyrion asked trying to change the subject.
"It is fine. I am fine with it, i do not see any objections. He is very nice and intelligent and he seems very kind. He is a bit quiet and shy but i have only met him a couple of times." Sansa said with a small smile on her face and Tyrion smiled at her. He was glad that she was happy with the marriage. If anybody deserves some happiness is this girl in front of him. He hoped that her marriage will be a good one.
"Well King Landing will see a lot of wedding now. My wedding, yours and your brothers. Then there is the Harvest and all is happening in three months time. A lot of money went into it from both Kingdoms." Tyrion said and Sansa nodded.
"I know but we deserve to do this. We finally are in peace with everything and there is a winter that is coming and no idea when it will finish." Sansa said and Tyrion nodded.
"You are right Sansa." Tyrion said and looked at the garden that was losing its flowers.
Jeyne was in her bedchamber picking out the dress for tonight's dinner when there was a knock on the door and through it came Tyrion her betrothed.
"Good afternoon My Lord, what can i help you with." Jeyne asked with a pleasant smile on her face.
"I am well, i hope that your health is good as well My Lady" Tyrion said feeling a little bit awkward.
"I am very well, thank you My Lord." Jeyne said.
"I know that you have not eaten lunch yet and i was wondering if i could join you." Tyrion said and Jeyne smiled happily.
"It would be a pleasure My Lord." Jeyne said and waved at her handmaidens to bring the food to the chamber.
Soon they were both sitting at the table and the conversation seemed to flow.
"You started packing Jeyne?" Tyrion looked around the chamber and saw that it was nearly empty.
"Yes the wedding is three days away. Just few more bits and bops here and there and i should be finished." Jeyne said looking around her chamber and smiled.
"I will have some of the men to bring them up to my bedchamber." Tyrion said and Jeyne nodded.
"That is very kind of you." Jeyne said looking at Tyrion who was playing with the goblet. There was a question she wanted to ask but she was scared to do so. Jeyne gave herself a mental slap as she was not a coward. This man is going to be her husband and she needs to know this.
"Tyrion, are you happy that you are going to be married to me?" Jeyne asked and Tyrion chocked on his wine. He looked at Jeyne with big eyes and was opening and closing his mouth like a fish not knowing what to say.
"I am sorry i should not have asked this question. Please forgive me." Jeyne said trying to stand up but Tyrion stopped her and made her look at him.
"Jeyne please sit down. The question did put me of guard but i am willing to answer it. Please do not take me the wrong way but i never had any luck with women. Yes i have paid for their time but that was not the same. I realised that i will be alone for the rest of my life and i was fine with it. Then you come along and i do not know what to you. You will be condemn to a life with me and i do not with this on you." Tyrion and Jeyne appreciated the honesty. She looked at Tyrion their joined hands and squeezed his hand with was hard and yet soft at the same time.
"I am not condemning my life to you Tyrion. I do not see it as a punishment or as something bad and neither should you. We are going to be together and have a family, we should try to make it work. I want to try do you not?" Jeyne asked looking at Tyrion with huge doe making Tyrion swallow that lump in his throat. He looked at Jeyne and gave her a small smile.
"Jeyne i want to try and make this work i really do but i have no idea how to be a husband. I always paid for women and i know this might be a sore subject for you but i cannot change the truth." Tyrion said and Jeyne chuckled.
"Do you think i know how to be a wife. You were married before i have not. I am going here blind Tyrion but i really want to be a good wife to you. I want us to be happy. I daresay that one day i want us to be in love but i am not stupid. I am not a beautiful woman. Not like the Princess." Jeyne said taking her hand out of Tyrion's and putting them on her lap. Tyrion looked at the pretty woman in front of him and shook his head. She really did not see her beauty and her innocence that made Tyrion want to protect her as well as he could. Those huge eyes of her will the death of him. Tyrion stood up from the table and went over to her and took her hands and made her look at him.
"I am very pleased with the way you look Jeyne. You are very beautiful and i should count myself a very lucky man. I do not know what our lives will bring us but as soon as i out my cloak on you i will protect you from any harm." Tyrion said and touched Jeyne's cheek and watched as she closed her eyes before she looked at him and kissed his lips softly. Tyrion was shocked at first but then kissed her back. It was soft light kiss but it made Tyrion feel something he had not felt in a long time. He did not know what it was but he liked it very much.
Naida was sitting at the table and watched the feats. Every Lord and Lady who are of importance came to for the Hand's wedding. She was talking with Margery and some other Ladies and was having a great time. She and Robb finally made up and things were great between them. Just before they came to the feast they had some quality together and when Naida thinks about it she still can feel her toes curling.
Right now Naida was finding her husband with her eyes and when she found him her blood just began to boil. He was standing in the corner of the room with a woman that was not her. The woman was attractive. Very attractive. She had dark russet skin and long black hair that fell to her back in tight ringlets. She was a curvy body making her look stunning and exotic in this room
Her husband was there holding his goblet and laughing at something this whore was saying in his ear. Normally she would not do anything but she was standing to close to him and her hands seemed to wonder a little bit too much. She was also a little hurt that her husband did not have any regard for her well being. She would never put him in a situation where he would feel hurt or ashamed so why was he making her feel like that. She looked at the goblet and cursed. It was no secret that ever since they were on the way to Kings Landing Robb has been drinking a little bit too much. She understood that he needed a break. He was still a young man and he needed to vent but this was past venting and more into getting drunk everyday. She was shaking with anger and she needed to calm down or else she would make a scene. She could shame the King.
Naida closed her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose and took a couple of calming breaths. She needed to be calm and collected. She needed to keep her cool but then when they were in privet she would rip him a new one. She was not letting this go this time.
"Are you well Naida." Margery asked and Naida looked up at her.
"Yes i just have a little bit of a headache." Said Naida trying to smile.
"Yes i see the headache is that woman next t your husband. She is far too touchy feely." Margery whispered and Naida looked at her with a tight jaw.
"What is he thinking, i bet there will be rumours on the morning. I am going to kill him when we get to our bedchambers." Naida whispered to Naida clutching her goblet
"Calm down Naida and go there. Show the whore who this man belongs to." Margery said and Naida got this evil glint in her eyes.
"You know i will. No whore will be getting my husband." Naida said giving Margery the goblet and hearing her chuckle in the back
She walked past the Lord and Ladies and reached her husband who was trying to catch a breath from laughing.
"What made you laugh so hard my love." Naida asked making her voice sound fr to sweet and giving the woman a big smile. Robb looked at Naida giving her a big smile and put his an arm around his wife.
"This is Ferne Jordayne and she has just been telling me a story about how she was running round her horse." Robb said trying not to laugh.
"Yes it does not make sense when you do not hear the whole story." Ferne said with a sweet voice that sounded very seductively. Naida's eyes narrowed at her. She did not like this woman one bit. She was looking at Robb with those fawn green eyes and it made her feel sick to the stomach. Noneless she needed to be pleasant and show that she was not affected by her.
"Well i am sure it was a very pleasant story. Maybe you can tell it to me one day." Naida said with a big smile.
"I am sure there will be an opportunity it is always a pleasure to speak to Royalty.." Ferne said and smiled at Naida. She then looked at Robb with hooded eyes and Naida fought the urge to punch her.
"I am sure there will be plenty of opportunities My Lady." Naida said and looked up at Robb to give him a small smile which he returned.
"Are you well my wife?" Robb asked softly and Naida did a happy dance inside, this will show that woman who this man belongs to.
"I am well thank you for your concern. Your son is a bit rowdy in there and i feel a little tired." Naida said putting more weight on Robb because she was tired.
"How far along are you My Queen?" Ferne asked and Naida looked at her with a tight smile.
"Six moons along My Lady but i feel like it is my dues time now. I probably look as big." Naida said giving a fake chuckle.
"No My Queen you look very beautiful. I should get going, my father is looking for me. You did me a great honour speaking to me Your Grace, My Queen." Ferne said and smiled at them.
"No the pleasure was mine. I have not laughed like that in a long while." Robb said and Naida had to wince at that. It hurt her that a stranger could make him laugh but she could not. She held back the tears and gave a tight smile at the woman as she left.
"What a young woman. She is very nice." Robb said and Naida looked at him with angry eyes.
"Yes she is great." Naida said giving him a tight smile and leaving him. She went toward Margery and said her goodbyes and stormed toward her bedchambers. She did not see the russet skinned woman in the corner smiling to herself.
"I will have the King even if it is the last thing i do." Ferne though to herself as she put a grape in her mouth with a big smile.
Well well well what is happening here? Some skank is trying to get in between Robb abd Naida. Will she succeed or fail? Please review. More reviews means quicker response. I want to know what you think.
