My lady Sansa, Please do not read this letter any further if you are not alone. After my observation of your treatment here I cannot with a good heart leave you here at the mercy of the king. I shall be leaving tomorrow morning before dawn and have already arranged with your lady servant to get you out of the castle as fast and as quickly as possible. Please only pack the essentials and those small treasures you cannot bare to leave behind. The rest I shall provide. Prince Ferdinand
Sansa blinked and quickly reread the letter she’d found slipped under her chamber door to be sure she’d read it correctly. Once she had, she quickly crumpled it up and looked around the gardens from her seat at one of the stone benches, wary of prying eyes. It was a trick, it had to be. She barely knew him! Surely it was a test from Joffrey, one she couldn’t indulge. Still, if it was true and she gave up her opportunity for escape…. She let out a shaky breath and gripped the parchment tightly, her hands trembling.
