When I woke up, the sun was shining on my face.
I sat upright. Why was the window open? I turned to see Annablyth sleeping quietly. Maybe she got hot during the night.
I stretched, my muscles aching brought a smile to my face. I looked around the room, which was a disaster. The linens were on the floor, along with our clothes. I kicked them to a corner before getting out something to wear for breakfast.
Deciding to wake up Annablyth, I lightly shook her shoulder. "Annablyth, it is time for breakfast. She groaned and rolled over. Her hair was strewn across her face. I tucked it behind her ear.
Her brilliant green eyes slowly opened, blinked a few times, before being rubbed by her hands. "Morning," she mumbled. I laughed. "Come on, we need to be present at breakfast."
She sits up, and winces. I rush to her side. "Are you okay?" I ask. She waves me off, "Of course. Just a little... Sore." Anna sent me one of those dazzling smiles.
When she stands up, she seems to forget that she is naked. I pass her a bathrobe. "Do you want me to call for a bath?" I ask, fixing my roused hair.
"No, no, that will be unnecessary. Can you please pick out a dress for me?" She asks. I look through her trunk, and emerge with a purple dress. "Thank you." She says, kissing my cheek. "Of course." I stated.
Annablyth put on the beautiful gown, her hair already glimmering. She slipped on a pair of golden shoes and we linked arms.
We made our way down to the hall, which was somehow pristine.
Only a few people were there, most of them hungover Lannister soldiers. Sansa and Arya was there, bickering already. Everybody rose when we entered, and we took our seats.
"Hello your Grace," Sansa greeted. Anna laughed, "Please, it is either my lady or Annablyth.
Sansa and Anna started whispering, but, to my utmost dismay, I couldn't make out the words. Father entered, with mother on his arm. My father gave me a slightly questioning look, and I nodded.
"Aye! Here are the happy couple!" Robert came up behind us and patted our backs, sending vibrations through my chest.
"Good morning King Robert," I greeted formally. "Father," Anna responded. "Hope you two get to it. I would like some grand kids before I die." I could feel my face heat up, and everyone else's faces were a mix of shock and horror.
Anna giggled lightly into her hand, so quiet only Sansa and I could hear.
"I hope you are all ready for the hunt today, I would love some pig for dinner." The room slowly went back to their conversations.
I whispered to Annablyth, "Why are you laughing?" She looked at me. "That might be the last joke he will tell me for a long, long time. Fitting that it's the first time I laugh, right?"
I smile.
