Kyra of house Frey

“I am not really sure, Your Grace,” she replied glancing at her cousin once removed. The new queen was right the Lannisters weren’t very loved because of how they kept on the throne and the Freys were hated since the red wedding where her grandfather risked everything by breaking guest right at the red wedding. She now didn’t have much of a dowry or anything to offer to a marriage and she wondered if anyone would ever want to marry her. She had wanted children herself but she didn’t think that would be possible now. “I had hoped that you would allow me to stay as one of your ladies but if you don’t see that possibility I’ll understand.”

If she couldn’t stay she would just have to find something and somewhere to go, her mother had installed the strength of being able to survive above all else.

Relena wanted to help her cousin, she truly did, but she had just been crowned queen and her own relation to House Lannister put her claim on shaky ground and sympathy for a house, which has committed crimes against another house, which was quite dear to most storm landers would leave a bad impression. Slowly, the raven haired girl’s head began to shake from side to side. “After everything that has happened… after everything that was done, I cannot have a Frey as a member of my court, my reign has just begun and I cannot have my lords question my decisions.”, as she spoke, it felt as if an invisible string was wrapping around Relena’s neck, for it became harder and harder for her to breath. “I can have someone escort you to King’s Landing, perhaps Tyrion would be able to help you… truly Kyra, I wish I could.”

Of course she knew that what she wanted wasn’t going to go to be taken in account and that marrying for love wasn’t going to happen given the state of things but a girl could dream. She was one of the many Frey’s if a love marriage was possible it would be easier since she is so far down the line to inherit the twins, even though she was closer in line to inherit Casterly Rock but most people forgot she was half Lannister.

Lady-in-waiting/ Maid-in-waiting:

You may think or her as your friend, but she will always be your mistress.

My loyalty lies with you and only you.

It's the ladies-in-waiting who truly shape the court.

If you cannot find a husband as the lady-in-waiting of the queen, you are truly a lost cause.

Men love looking at the queen and with us right beside her they will quickly learn to love looking at us.

Your grace, I humbly request to be relieved from my duties.

So you are the queen's new lady-in-waiting?

Women often seek less attractive ladies, when it comes to their companions, for it makes them more beautiful in comparison... no offense.

It is quite brave for her to appoint such a pretty thing, with a husband like hers.

Where have you been? Your mistress has been calling for you.

For this she will most certainly dismiss you from court.

Do not get too comfortable, she dismisses ladies on a daily basis.

It is an honour to be allowed to serve you.

Hundreds of families have begged my to appoint their daughters, you better treat this like the honour it is.

If your mistress finds out about this she will send you home and you will have brought shame upon your whole family.

Mistress:

The king wishes for you to visit his chambers once the queen as retired.

If you go through with this, you will make yourself the queen's greatest enemy.

If you become my official mistress, I shall have no other but you.

The king has made you an offer you should not refuse.

Congratulations, within one night you have gained the king's favour and the court's contempt.

Who do you think the king trusts more, the woman he was forced to marry or the woman he truly desires?

Go ahead, enjoy his affection, his gifts, in the end he will tire of you as he does of everyone else.

Not too long ago I was where you are, I heard the same promises you did, now look how quickly he has replaced me.

When your father send you to court, do you believe this was what he imagined.

He does not only value my body, he values me and my opinions, he loves me.

The king keeps sending you gifts, do not believe anyone here does not know what this means.

If I give the king what the queen could not, I will no longer only be the second most powerful woman in the land.

The king has decided not to acknowledge your child as his own.

The king has decided to acknowledge your child as his own.

Give yourself to me and you will be my queen in everything but the name only.

It does not matter what the king might call you or what he is giving you in return, if you accept his payment it makes you one thing and one thing only.

Even if I wanted to, how could I refuse the king?

Your grace, your husband made it clear that he wishes for me to become his mistress and I know not what to do.

Governess:

I love that child as if it was my own.

You were more of a mother to me than my own.

I will protect you until the day I am forced to leave you.

I put the life of my child into your hands.

You have raised all of my children so far and now it is time for you to return to court.

You are to leave court right now and you may not say goodbye to the children.

Ever since I was a babe, you were my only comfort in this world.

You raised me, now that I have a child of my own I wish for you to do the same thing for her.

You have made me the person I am today.

You are a married woman now, you do not need a governess any more.

It is time for us to say goodbye.

“But mom, he probably wouldn’t live long enough for that given that he is going up against uncle Tywin.”
