Year 126 A.C.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Sometimes, Lucrezcia thought to herself how easy it would be to escape. The Arbor was an island wonderfully connected to practically the entire world known to man. Volantis seemed like a good destination, all she needed was a ship, of which she had thousands at her disposal.

But there were several factors that deprived her of such a plan. First, her father was as tenacious as she was, and would find her and drag her back so that he could marry her off to whomever he offered.

The second, and at that moment more important, Lucreczia was sitting in a carriage, on her way to her first audience with her possible future husband. Her father, sitting opposite her, seemed to be trying to ignore her by any means possible. Lucrezcia, for her part, tried to annoy him, making noises with her rings.

"Could you, my child, stop being a nuisance for a few moments?"

The girls stopped her movements, to offer a sarcastic smile to her father.

"Oh, excuse me dearest father, it must be pre-marital nerves".

"Are you always so unbearable?"

I have someone to look like

But she preferred to swallow her words. Lunch with Lord Tarly's niece had been most victorious for her lord father. Julianna Tarly was a slender and tremendously young girl, no older than Lucrezcia herself. The young Redwyne found her stepmother-to-be irritating and exceedingly sordid. A childish girl who could compete in immaturity with her nearly five-year-old sister.

The irony of the gods, he was getting rid of a daughter to return to a wife who might be confused by one of his offspring.

Luckily for her, she would not have to put up with the new Lady of the Arbor, as she would be married by then in any corner of the fucking continent.

Honeyholt was the home of the Beesbury house, sworn to the Hightowers. With their lord at King's Landing as part of King Viserys Targaryen's council, it was Lady Beesbury, who had kindly offered to host the court. Not out of charity, of course, but out of business with one of the richest houses in all of Westeros. Lucrezcia was just a pawn, just like in her father's chessboard.

The Reach was undoubtedly a beautiful place, filled with flowers of all kinds and palaces that looked like something out of a book about knights in shining armour. Lady Beesbury greeted them at the entrance, an elderly, petite woman with an unbridled taste for pie and tartlets. Lucrezcia tried to smile and look delighted at the auction of her person to a bunch of usurious lords, as the old woman led her into the garden where the tea was to be held.

They say that you are not aware of your destiny until it is staring you in the face.

That's how Lucrezcia felt when she set foot in the garden, becoming the centre of everyone's attention. It seemed that they had deliberately arrived early, to make her entrance more conspicuous. Pairs of eyes scrutinised her as if she were one of the cakes on the table.

So far, the trip had served to psych her up, but the possibility that her future husband might be among these men made her want to vomit horribly.

"Cheer up, dear, they're watching you," her father's voice echoed behind her.

Fuck off

A strange tingling settled in her spine. She approached the small table with the cakes, while her father stood talking to some men in pompous clothes.

Lucrezcia contemplated that apart from herself, the only other woman at the soiree was the elderly Lady Beesbury (except for the maids who went to and fro). The rest were men. Tall, thin, short, fat, ornately dressed, full of jewels. With the balance on the side of men of her father's generation rather than her own.

She wondered if her mother suffered such a thing, being from the Iron Islands, they probably put her on a ship straight to the Arbor in a wedding dress and called it a day.

She didn't know if it was worse than what she was going through at that moment.

"My lady"

Lucrezcia gobbled down the raspberry pastry in her hand before turning to the person who spoke to her.

A short, chubby man with a terrible grey moustache and little hair in the centre of his head, he took the hand that previously held a pastry and planted a kiss on the back of her hand.

"My name is Lord Daryl Florent"

She watched him wordlessly, chewing the pastry exaggeratedly. Lord Florent began to talk about his life, still holding her hand. When the man stopped talking, seeing that the girl did not answer, he said to her.

"You would be prettier if you smiled."

A spark lit up the girl's eyes. She tugged at the corners of her mouth, preparing a flamboyant smile. A smile that showed all her teeth covered in the raspberry filling of the pastry.

Lord Florent made no secret of his displeasure as he let go of the young woman's hand and walked indignantly towards another group of men watching the interaction.

Preach the word, fatty.

The afternoon was summed up in a series of frustrated attempts by different men to approach her in an attempt to woo her. When the man was old to begin with, her tactic was to be disgusting, play with food and make comments that implied she was a woman with ideas.

When they tried to elicit information about her interests, Lucrezcia didn't bother to lie. She liked to hunt, enjoyed wine and ale (no surprise, being the daughter of the leading exporter of ale in all of Westeros), could barely do needlework, and was very interested in the political situation in the realm.

Most did not endure up to that point in the conversation, but the few who did, asked the golden question.

"And you are an avid reader from what your father says. What is the last book you read, my lady?"

"A caution for young girls, my lord"

That used to be the final strike.

Who wants a wife who reads about sex with the intention of self-pleasure rather than to give heirs?

With the many horrified looks from the gentlemen, Luther could only resist the urge to slap his daughter in the middle of the garden.

Night fell upon them, and Lady Beesbury invited them into Honeyholt's great hall. Lucrezcia watched as less than half of the large crowd of men who had been there at the beginning of the evening remained. It was clear that the great hall table was almost empty, apart from Lady Beesbury, her father, herself and some nine suitors.

The food was extremely sweet for her taste. The girl chewed in silence as her lord father spoke to the few remaining men.

Unfortunately for her, most of them were old men who had not succumbed to her tactics. She was very bored. The dress of salmon-coloured fabric was particularly itchy, the belt of thick golden thread cut off her circulation. The hairstyle that Nyssa had done for her this morning was pulling at her brain cells.

The kingdom was in the springtime, according to the maesters. The Reach's crops were thriving, but Lucrezcia wished at the moment that everything would freeze over. At the very least, for a breeze to blow. She felt like she was in the middle of Dorne's Red Desert.

In those moments of desperation, she considered faking a fainting spell. She could pour some wine over herself, lie on the floor and hope that her father would get fed up with this fanfare and decide to return to his island.

Oh, her island. Lucrezcia had always dreamed of leaving it, but now she missed it more than anything. The walks through the vineyards, going to the Ryamsport harbour market to watch the seafarers' festivals, skinny-dipping on the beach with Nyssa at an hour her father hadn't allowed.

Even her palace on the cliffs of the Arbor, right by Starfish Harbor. The library's stained glass windows, its chambers overlooking the sea, the passageways to the kitchens and stables where she could go out with her pack of hounds.

How she missed her puppies.

She hoped to transport them to wherever she was getting married.

The last litter had been of 8 puppies, 5 of which survived. Now with the perfect age and training for a good hunt. They were fast and strong, they could tear a fox apart in a few seconds.

Surely their dogs were more loyal than all these men sitting at the table. She wondered if she could use them as bait for her little puppies. As a form of training.

Nah, they'd be too easy prey.

In her reverie, Lucrezcia ignored the doors to the great hall and it was not until Lady Beesbury rose from her seat at the end of the table to greet the new visitors.

"My Lady Blackwood, what a surprise, I was not expecting you yet."

That made the Redwyne girl look up from her plate of gooseberry duck. The sight stunned her.

A tall, slender but athletic woman with a cascade of obsidian-black hair curling like tornadoes. Behind her, six men, all somewhat rough-looking, dressed in the same clothes as her. Riding clothes, black and crimson.

The men looked hungry, staring at the bloody roast duck as if they hadn't eaten in days. They reminded her of her dogs, waiting attentively at the woman's command.

"I hope I have not interrupted with our entry" said the woman "We have a long drive to Oldtown and Lord Beesbury had offered us accommodation for the night".

Lady Beesbury did not look very pleased, but she could do nothing against her husband's orders.

"Well... I guess you may sit down, please, please, you must be starving" said the old lady.

Lucrezcia sent an amused glance at her father, who looked tense but intrigued as Lady Blackwood's men swept through the feast.

"And tell me, Lady Blackwood. What is your business so far from the Riverlands?" asked her father, sipping from his wine glass.

"Our maester fell ill a couple of moons ago. We were travelling to the Citadel to request reinforcements at Raventree Hall. My Lord Brother sent me on his behalf".

"I understand" said her father.

As the rivermen gulped, Alyssane looked at her father.

"And what are you doing, Lord...?"

"Lord Redwyne" interrupted Lady Beesbury "Lord Redwyne of the Arbor and his daughter, Lady Lucrezcia, are here as my guests, as are all these distinguished gentlemen".

Black Aly surveyed the table, the distinguished gentlemen looking rather uncomfortable at the presence of her men. She then looked at the girl in the salmon-coloured dress. Lucrezcia felt a little self-conscious, but smiled at the new guest. She smiled back.

The woman from the Riverlands could not be more than ten years older than her. And she was not stupid. The picture was so obvious that asking the question was totally unnecessary.

The dinner went as smoothly as possible. With the suitors gradually withdrawing as Lucrezcia's father and Lady Alyssane had an arduous conversation about the politics and succession of the realm, with the recent birth of Prince Joffrey.

Lucrezcia learned there that the Blackwoods were a Riverlands family of considerable prestige, the only one in their lands to practice the religion of the Old Gods. Lord Luther had long sought to expand into the interior of the continent, exporting mostly to coastal cities.

Any occasion is good for business, Lucrezcia supposed.

Her maid, Nyssa, was quick to come and fetch her as the hour of the wolf approached. As did Lady Beesbury.

"It was a pleasure to meet you, Lady Lucrezcia," Alyssane said goodbye. "I had hoped that tomorrow we might be able to breakfast together in the gardens, if Lady Beesbury sees fit for your... matchmaking".

The old woman didn't seem to agree, but after the disaster with her first twenty suitors, she figured that giving the girl the morning off would be a good idea.

"The pleasure was all mine, Lady Alyssane," said the girl before following Lady Beesbury and Nyssa to her chambers.

Once the girl was out, only Lord Luther, Black Aly and an empty jug of wine were left in the hall.

"She is a beautiful girl, you are very lucky, Lord Redwyne," congratulated the woman.

Luther wanted to laugh in her face. Yes, his third daughter was beautiful, a light brown-haired beauty with huge green eyes, a fine face and a pretty composition.

"She'd make an ideal wife, if she wasn't a problem with legs." The man began as Lady Alyssane listened " The girl is the smartest of my four daughters, and the most ambitious. Nine septas she has cost me in less than four years, they say she is incorrigible" the man massaged his temple "I had hoped a husband would soothe her spirit" he lamented.

In his deepest dreams, Luther regretted that Lucrezcia was not a man. She would have been the perfect heir, but sadly the laws and her own opinions deprived her of that status.

Luther had to marry off his daughter. That was the custom and the law.

Black Aly listened with attention, scheming in her own mind.

Lucrezcia reminded her of herself, a young woman who just wanted her place in the world. Though Aly had been luckier in the family, from what she was hearing. While her father described his third with a mixture of resentment and pride, as she noticed, the girl did not remind him only of her.

A highly intelligent, cool-headed young noble who enjoyed risk but knew how to keep her composure. She couldn't help but compare her to her own nephew.

Benjicot Blackwood had just turned six and ten, a year younger than Lucrezcia. The boy was proper and somewhat shy among his own kind, but lately quarrels with the Brackens had him in a mess, hanging out with his grooms at the tavern, brawling and neglecting his lessons.

He needed to wise up.

He needed a new goal.

He needed a wife. Her brother, and father of the boy, Lord Samwell Blackwood, had tried to bring up the subject several times, perhaps this was the right occasion.

"I believe, my lord, that I can offer clarity on our problems," the woman commented. "My own nephew, Benjicot Blackwood, future Lord Blackwood and heir to Raventree Hall, may stand as a suitor for your daughter," she explained.

Luther seemed to sober up suddenly. It was a good way to make contacts with the Riverlands, as well as sending his daughter far away.

"How much do you want for her?"

He knew it wasn't smart to send it to the first person who would offer. But she had been on the marriage market for years and nothing. It was a golden opportunity, both for him and for Blackwood.

"I shall write to my brother first thing tomorrow morning. He will discuss with you the details of the dowry, the wedding and so on".

"As tempting as it sounds, I know my daughter, she is capable of galloping away if I promise her to a complete stranger who has never seen her life".

"And for that, my lord" Black Aly leaned her elbows on the table to approach the lord in front of her and say "She'll think it's her idea".

daisies

November 18, 2022

Luca and Adam shared a look and nodded, they had just finished practice and we’re going to make sure that Julianna and Luca finally get together.

Luke and Adam walked over to Luca who had just finished getting dressed and both of them grabbed one of his arms and dragged him out of the locker room.

“Uh guys?” Luca warily questioned as the two younger ones dragged him into another room and closed the door behind them.

“When are you asking out my sister.” Luke glared at Luca, Luke has been patiently waiting for Luca to get his act together and ask Julianna out because if he has to watch them pine after each other any longer he was gonna lock them in a room together.

“What?” Luca paled and chocked on air looking at the two in a panic.

“Please you are totally in love with Julia.” Adam deadpanned looking at his brother not knowing why he’s trying to deny it’s so obvious.

Luca gave Luke a wary look not sure if this a good thing to talk about in front of a very protective little brother.

“Oh don’t be quiet on my account. My sister seems to like you so you’re alright.” Luke shrugged nonchalantly. He wouldn’t do anything to scare Luca off too much unless Luca messes us and hurts Julianna’s feelings.

“And if i am?” Luca questioned looking between the two not sure if he is liking this mischievous friendship that has formed between Luke and Adam.

“Then tell her. She likes you.” Luke looked extremely exasperated.

“She does?” Luca perked up like a happy puppy looking incredibly hopeful.

“Yeah so tell her your feelings and get together already!” Adam almost all but shouted at his older brother.

“How should i tell her?” Luca looked panicked.

“Just tell her.” Adam shook his head at his brother.

“And get her daises.” Luke told Luca.

“Because they are her favorite.” Luca piped ip before Luke could and Luke looked slightly impressed but nodded his head in agreement.

“Don’t mess it up. And make her happy and we have no problems.” Luke sternly told Luca, making sure to play the protective brother especially because Jack and Quinn aren’t here to do so.

“I promise.” Luca quickly nodded, “Thank you!” Luca called out as hurried out of the room.

Luke and Adam shared one more fond eye roll.

Luca jogged out of the room, down the hallway and out of the arena. He hurried to his car and hopped in.

Luca drove out of the parking and onto the street and drove to the flower store. He quickly parked and walked into the store seeing an older lady working.

“Oh what can i do for you today?” The older lady smiled very brightly as Luca walked in.

“Daises. She loves daises.” Luca quickly rambled out and the older lady smiled fondly being able to tell when someone is in love having been in the flower business for a long time now.

“Just daises?” The lady questioned kindly as she started to grab her supplies.

“Yes she like the simplicity of just daisies.” Luca quickly answered remembering when Julianna talked about her favorite flower.

“Sounds like you know her well.” The older lady kindly stated as she grabbed her newest bunches of daisies and started to form the bouquet.

“I do. At least i hope i do.” Luca soflty answered, he knows he doesn’t know everything about Julianna yet but he can’t wait to learn the rest.

“Here you go.” The lady smiled and handed him the bouquet with a light blue ribbon wrapped around the bottom with a bow, something Luca knows Julianna will adore.

“Thank you!” Luca beamed knowing they are perfect for Julianna, “How much do i owe you?” Luca asked as he started to grab his wallet.

“Nothing.” The lady simply told him making him look at her confused, “It’s for a good cause.” The lady smiled she enjoys a good love style.

“Thank you.” Luca smiled feeling very touched and pulled out a twenty dollar bill and putting it in the tip jar, “It’s for a good cause.” Luca cheekily replied when he saw her look.

Luca smiled and walked out for he shop and got into his car and started the drive to her apartment.

Luca quickly got out of the car and jogged up the stairs in her apartment building and through her hallways till he was at her door and he knocked on the door.

Luca felt his breath catch as she opened the door and was in a soft pink long sleeve matching pajama set and the color was perfect with her hair and her hair was in a messy braid.

“Lu?” Julianna titled her head curiously but smiled seeing him at her door.

“Hi.” Luca breathed out and brought his hands out from behind his back and put the bouquet in front of her, “For you.”

Julianna took a shocked breath, she has gotten flowers many times before but never from someone romantically that she felt the same towards. And only her brothers has gotten her daises no one else has ever thought they should be bouquet flower.

“They’re beautiful.” Julianna beamed as she gently held them in her hands and looked up at Luca with a beaming smile, “Thank you.” She smiled softly.

“Oh i should put them into a vase!” Julianna quickly turned around and walked back into her apartment and knew Luca would follow behind her.

She gently set her flowers onto her kitchen counter and grabbed a vase and filled it water. She sadly had to take the ribbon off the flowers but tied it around the vase as she put the flowers into the vase.

Luca closed the door behind and walked in behind her admiring as she gently took care of her flowers and he couldn’t wait any longer he walked up to her and gently grabbed her waist spinning her around to him.

Julianna gasped slighty as her hands fell onto his chest catching her as he had spun her around.

“Please don’t hate me.” Luca’s voice shook and before Julianna could even ask he was pressing his lips to hers so gently and he could feel as she slowly smiled into the kiss and all but melted into him.

Julianna wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him closer.

Julianna gently pulled away but kept her eyes on him and she knew her smile was wide and her cheeks were burning.

“Hi.” Julianna let out a fond giggle at Luca’s words.

“Hi.” Julianna beamed back.

“Can i take you on a date this Saturday?” Luca nervously questioned even though he literally just kissed her.

“On one condition.” Julianna looked very serious as she spoke, Luca hurriedly nodded.

“As long as you’re my boyfriend now.” Julianna teased him soflty watching the worry slip off his face.

“Oh really?” Luca teased her back leaning his face closer to her’s again.

“Yes.” Julianna tried to look serious as she nodded but she was beaming.

“Then of course Jules. I would love nothing more.” Luca earnestly replied to her watching as she lite up even more and her smile got even wider and Julianna leaned closer and pressed her lips back to his.

[airasora]

So, I'm of course very much obsessed with Epic the Musical, and really want to do a Thraxette video with The Challenge. My issue is that Penelope sings about weaving a shroud before she'll choose a suitor, and then she ruins it every night so she has to start over and keep stalling for time.

I'm struggling thinking of something that could be used for this scene. It doesn't necessarily have to be a shroud, but it has to be a craft that she can "undo" during the night.

So far all I can think of is Lady Julianna in Quest for Camelot when she's sewing a dress for Kayley 🤔

₊˚⊹⁠♡————— ⁠♡ —————♡⊹⁠˚₊

You weren’t told why you were being married off, but you had an idea. You knew your family had some financial trouble and that your dowry would help tremendously. You couldn’t be mad at your parents for making the arrangement, they needed the money and you loved them to the point you were ok with it. But that doesn’t mean you were ok with who you were marrying, after all his last two fiancees died before the marriage and he had a mistress.

“Bumblebee, are you ready?” Your father walked into your childhood room where you were packing the last few of your things.

“As I’ll ever be,” you sighed, letting your shoulders sag in relief as you grabbed your last item and shoved it into your bag.

₊˚‧ ︵‿ ꒰ ⏝ ୨ ♡ ୧ ⏝ ꒱ ‿︵ ‧˚₊

“Baroness Alvez,” one of the maids greeted you at the door. I am Julianna, your handmaiden. " She bowed, and you nodded at her.

“It’s nice to meet you, Julianna,” you smiled at her.

“Follow me, my lady. " She grabbed your bag from your hand and directed others to grab the rest of your bags from the carriage. You followed Julianna through the manor, it reminded you of the summer manor you used to visit with your family. “And this is your room, the baron has already cleaned out a place for your clothes,” she pointed in the direction of the wardrobe that stood in the corner by the window and a full-length mirror.

“Thank you, Julianna,” you smiled at her as she bowed.

“Is there anything else you might need?”

“If it’s not trouble, could you take a walk with me? I’d like to walk through the gardens but don’t want to be alone,” you placed your bag down and she nodded at your request.

₊˚‧ ︵‿ ꒰ ⏝ ୨ ♡ ୧ ⏝ ꒱ ‿︵ ‧˚₊

You and Julianna talked, you had yet to see your husband since making it to the manor. You hadn’t decided if that was a good or bad thing, but you did like just talking and getting to know Julianna. 

“Can I call you Julie?” You glanced over at the girl.

“Of course my lady,” she smiled over at you and you smiled at her.

“Julie, can you be honest with me about something?” You watched as she nodded. “How much do I have to worry about the baron’s mistress?” 

“Not much, he never brings her here, and when she is here for business, she’ll stay away,” Julianna informed you.

“Business?” You furrowed your brows at her.

“Her father is the town’s head farmer, she follows him to the manor when he comes to talk to Baron Alvez,” Julianna told you.

₊˚‧ ︵‿ ꒰ ⏝ ୨ ♡ ୧ ⏝ ꒱ ‿︵ ‧˚₊

You had been at the manor few a few weeks, and each week you seemed to be getting sicker. You were confined to bed, Luke had given up his place there to let you rest. If he hadn’t seemed genuinely worried for your health you would have believed he was poisoning you. Julianna walked in with three trays of food, you scrunched your eyebrows at her. She placed one of them down out of your reach and the other on the tray table you had over your lap. Her own was placed on the table next to you, not wanting to break the promise that she would eat with you while you were bedbound.

“Julie, what’s with the extra tray of food?” You glance over at it.

“I have a feeling why I know why you’re sick,” she told you and you nodded, your trust in her at an all-time high since the beginning of your getting sick.

“Want to tell me?” You questioned her.

“I caught Lady Lisa in the kitchen,” her voice was small and you tilted your head at the mention of your husband’s mistress.

“Ok?”

“I’ve seen her in there before but I always assumed that she was just being friendly; however, I saw her look around before dumping something into your food. She didn’t see me but I have a feeling that she might be the reason the baron’s past fiancees never lasted long,” Julianna told you and you nodded at her.  Unbeknownst to both of you, Luke paused outside of your shared bedroom door at the words he had heard.

“Have you told Luke?” You asked.

“Are you crazy? The baron would never believe that Lady Lisa was purposefully poisoning you,” she told you and you nodded. “Can I ask a question?”

“Julie, I’ve told you this before, you can speak freely to me,” you told her.

“How are you not upset that Baron Alvez has a mistress and does not love you?” She shuffled closer to you, grabbing her cup of tea.

“I believe love is subjective,” you started. “He loves Lady Lisa, that much is obvious to anyone. While l would love to have a marriage of love, this is one of convenience. There’s a love in that, the love I have for my family is in this marriage. I married Luke for them, to keep them from the poor house. Plus, I believe love can be learned. I believe that over time Luke and I will learn to love each other, whether it is true love or a platonic one,” you told her, humming as the warm tea slipped past your lips. You two sat in silence for a moment, your words hanging in the air. Before Julianna could answer you, the door of the bedroom opened to reveal Luke.

“My lord,” Julie stood up quickly and bowed at him. 

“Could you give us a minute, Julianna?” Luke asked your handmaiden and she looked over at you, knowing that you had the final say in whether she left or not. You nodded at her, letting her know she could leave. She bowed one more time and left you and Luke alone. “How are you feeling?” Luke walked over to the bed where you were ordered to stay.

“Better,” you lied, you didn’t want him to worry. You hadn’t lied when you said there was love in the marriage, it may not be romantic but it was strong enough for you to worry about his feelings. You watched as Luke scrunched his brows at you, his hand reaching up to feel your forehead. He had been informed by one of the guards that Lisa had been seen in the kitchen pouring a vile of something on your food by one of the kitchen maids.

“Are you sure?” Luke’s eyes met you and you realized how comforting they were. You lost your ability to lie to him while making eye contact.

“No,” you sighed, he looked disappointed at you and you had to look away from his eyes. “Don’t you have a meeting with the lead farmer today?” You tried to change the topic.

“I sent him home,” he told you plainly and you scrunched your eyebrows at him. “I was informed by a guard that Lisa was seen pouring a vile onto your food and came here as fast as I could, I sent them both home with the message that Lisa is to never come back,” Luke told you and you looked back at him with mild panic written on your face.

“But you love her,” you argued, she may have poisoned you but you wanted Luke to be happy.

“But you are my wife and you’re more important,” Luke told you.

“Luke,” you sighed but he shook his head at you.

“I already told her that it is over, she had done enough,” Luke told you and you relented letting him have his way.

CW: Death

In the Smith side household, Julianna had given birth to triplets the previous year, named for her husband John, mother Malota, and sister Helenwise.

In 1319, Julianna and her son, John, succumbed to a fever. Julianna was the final sim of our first generation, and gave birth to 12 children, of which 4 survive.

Their deaths left the four remaining girls without a parent, and the Smith family without a male heir - Madog is the only surviving gen 2 male in our Hayes family tree!

The two oldest children, Quenilda (child) and Chastity (toddler), have joined the Hayes household, where they'll be able to help out around the farm.

The two infants, Malota and Helenwise, have moved into the household where their cousins from the Rolfe family are residing, a Knight's stronghold where their uncle previously served under Lord Breton. The Lady of the household was glad to take in the infants, as she had been unable to conceive herself since the birth of her son, and she will be raising these children as her own.

When the eldest Smith daughter marries, her husband will take on responsibility of the Smith estate.

Chapther three: friends

Year 126 A.C

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Dearest sister,

We hope this raven finds you on your way to your new home. Father wrote from Oldtown with the good news, both Olga and I are delighted with your recent engagement.

I want to hear all about it once you arrive at Raventree Hall (I had to look up the location on a map). IT'S A LONG WAY AWAY.

Unfortunately, Olga says we won't be able to come to your wedding, as it's a long journey and Father and Lady Julianna's wedding is taking place first. You have met her. Is she nice? Does it smell like horse poo? Is she pretty? Please, please get a quick crow to tell me before she arrives.

Anyway, Livia will attend, she's got your wedding dress. Olga didn't want to show me the drawing and fabric selection because she says I'll ruin the surprise for you. IT'S NOT FAIR, YOU DON'T EVEN LIKE SURPRISES.

That's all for now, Olga says her hand hurts from writing this letter. But we'll send you more once you get to the Riverlands.

Give Livia a big hug for me, I miss you both so much.

Best wishes,

Patricia Redwyne.

Lucrezcia reread the letter three times on Maegor's back. The huge black horse was restless, eager to gallop as soon as his owner gave the command.

They were waiting for the servants to load Lucrezcia's belongings into the cart, along with Nyssa.

Alyssane Blackwood's six men were preparing for a long journey home, their mission accomplished in securing a new maester.

Kyle was a skinny young man with blond hair and a grey habit. He was two years younger than Lucrezcia and had gained his chains at the tender age of twelve. A prodigy, the archmaesters said, but a tremendously shy and frightened prodigy. The young maester was on a small grey horse, which looked like a pony compared to Maegor.

The Redwyne girl looked out to sea, specifically to the boat with the blue sail with the cluster of grapes on it. Her father and his young betrothed were setting sail for their former home.

She would miss the wedding, and so would her family miss hers.

It didn't make her sad, but it gave her a certain twinge in her stomach.

It's not as if they were one big happy family, she herself nor her sisters attended the eldest's wedding. Livia had married her husband at the Sept of Oldtown, only her father and mother attended the ceremony.

True, she would not marry for the Seven, much to her father's dismay. Lucrezcia would marry for the customs of her new house, the faith of the Old Gods.

Now she had to face this new phase alone. Without her father's orders, Olga's disapproving looks and Patricia's laughter.

She didn't know if she liked or dreaded the idea.

"Ready?" asked Alyssane, pulling her horse ahead of her.

The girl nodded, starting on the road to Raventree Hall.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The journey would be a long one. It would take three weeks on horseback, four if the weather was bad.

In the long hours of the day that they could ride, the Blackwood banner would only be taken out in towns or on land, not on the road, so as not to attract bandits.

One of the rivermen, Butch, would tell stories during meal breaks. Mostly to pick on Kyle.

They had been in a routine of teasing the young maester for several days, as well as trying to flirt with Lucrezcia's maid. To which Nyssa responded with amusement. When Lucrezcia looked at her with some judgement, the bravoosi would reply in her thick accent.

"You are the betrothed, not me."

Lucrezcia could only shake her head and agree with the young woman. Despite the jokes and the good humour of the rivermen guarding her, Lucrezcia felt tremendously bored.

Alyssane always walked a few yards ahead, flanked by two of her men, while the other four guarded Lucrezcia, Nyssa, and Kyle, as well as the cart with all the belongings.

She led and when it was time she hunted. Lucrezcia had helped a couple of times, getting a couple of hares and birds. She was not so skilled with the bow, she was better with the spear and commanding the dogs.

Dogs that would sail to Seagard, and then be transported to their new home.

How she missed them.

Her pack of four dogs could now run all over the Riverlands.

In the days they had been travelling, Lucrezcia had tried to learn as much as she could about her new home. She had asked Alyssane, about the castle, the people, how many people lived under its protection, what kind of organisation they followed.

Not only the duties of the lady of the house, she wanted to know as much as a lord.

Alyssane looked more than pleased, she had made a good decision with the girl. As they rode side by side, the women talked about Raventree and its lands. Kyle helped by contributing maps and scrolls, it was one of the few times Lucrezcia appreciated that the boy did not stammer.

They had formed a friendship. A shy boy and a mouthy girl.

"Oi! Baby Maester! C'me here" one of the men called "Do you have a cure for this one here?It stings like hell" he cried, clutching his private parts.

The party gathered around the fire, for it was getting dark in the forest. Alyssane, as usual, walked a couple of leagues ahead, leaving Lucrezcia and the others with the carriage.

They were preparing dinner, Lucrezcia had managed to catch two hares and the men a wild boar, which would last for several days. What little was left of the journey.

Kyle blushed and looked at the ground in embarrassment. Lucrezcia, sitting next to him, said.

"If you spent less time in brothels and more time doing your job, your dick wouldn't itch, Robb."

Robb stood up and walked over to Lucrezcia, who sat on a log, impassive.

"And who says I don't do my job? A spoilt child?" he spat.

"I say so," said Lucrezcia, "The future lady of your lands, so leave the future maester of those lands alone, because maybe, in the not too distant future, your parts will fall off, and this master won't feel like helping you".

Robb looked down, somewhat embarrassed.

"Now, apologize to Kyle for being rude."

Robb looked at the boy and pursed his lips.

"I'm sorry Kyle" Lucrezcia raised an eyebrow "I'm rude and I apologize".

"Now that is..."

Lucrezcia's words were interrupted by a thunderous noise in the bushes. In the hour of the bat, the only thing separating the group from the pitch darkness was the campfire.

Blackwood's men became alert at once. Robb signalled the others to put Lucrezcia, Kyle and Nyssa in the carriage. Lucrezcia rose from her seat, but stood still as Robb drew a dagger from his belt. It was pitch black, but Lucrezcia could make out one figure, two figures, four?

"Enter the carriage, my lady."

As the girl approached the cursed caravan, with Kyle and Nyssa already inside, an arrow stuck between the sleeve of Lucrezcia's dress and its door, breaking the handle and locking her two friends in. Or her outside.

Robb's men drew their swords swiftly. Lucrezcia tried without reward to disengage herself from the carriage.

From the shadows emerged three figures, shabbily dressed men with daggers and short swords. They did not look malnourished, and despite carrying sacks like soaps, one of them wore a gold tooth, one wore pearls in his ears, and one wore the carcass of a suit of armour that had once belonged to the Royal Guard.

"It's our lucky day, isn't it fellas?"

The man had an accent that was not from the Riverlands, nor was it from the Reach or the Crownlands. But she recognised it, it was the same one she had heard in Starfish Harbor.

"They are from Volantis," she whispered from behind Robb.

"They're filthy bandits."

The apparent ringleader of the group, a man with sparse red hair on the crown of his head and a golden tooth, tried to approach them.

"Clever girl."

Before they could get any closer to the chariot, Robb and his men charged the bandits. For Blackwood's men were not known for their patience. Lucrezcia found herself pressed against the carriage door as she tugged at the sleeve of her dress. She had counted four figures, and none of the men carried a bow.

One was missing.

Amidst the chaos of the scuffle, cries for help from inside the carriage caught the girl's attention. Kyle and Nyssa were pounding on the door from inside. One of the bandits had cut Robb, the one with the tooth. Lucrezcia watched as they scrambled around the fire, stamping their feet.

They were trying to put out the fire.

So they would have the advantage in the dark.

With all the strength she had, Lucrezcia tore the sleeve of the dress.

"Robb! Don't let them put out the bonfire!"

But Robb seemed very focused on fighting the red man who dodged her blows with ease. Lucrezcia was beginning to panic. Perhaps if she screamed, she would alert Alyssane and the reinforcements. Or more bandits.

Lucrezcia found herself in a situation where shouting wasn't going to help, but she didn't know how to fight either. So with the knife she was skinning the hares with, she tried to prise Kyle and Nyssa out.

One of the bandits fell right into the fire, the smell of burning flesh and hide was not pleasant and made Lucrezcia want to vomit.

Just when she thought the bandits were at a disadvantage and could get out of it, arms wrapped around Lucrezcia, lifting her off the ground.

"Hold still there, girl."

When the Blackwoods heard their future lady's shout, they turned in fright. Seeing the girl clutching a dagger to her throat, Robb and his men looked at each other and threw their weapons to the ground and raised their hands in defeat.

"Tie them to a tree," said the ringleader.

"You may take the gold," said Robb, "but leave the girl."

The man holding Lucrezcia, the archer, stood still, waiting. The red-haired man approached the girl, cupping her face in his dirty hands.

"And why is gold worth more to me than this pretty face, mm?"

There, Lucrezcia did the only thing she could. She spat in the bandit's face.

Apparently, this caused her other captor, the one who was holding her, to laugh.

"Shut up, Astor" said the red-haired man "What a playful little thing, aye?" he said this time referring to Lucrezcia. "You're going to entertain me tonight."

"The only thing that will entertain you is the beating my men are going to give you." she said haughtily.

"I'm terrified" laughed the red head. "Take the things and the girl," he ordered, "and kill the rest."

Astor, her other captor, seemed to hesitate.

"They are unarmed, Oren." he said, Lucrezcia noticed that this one was not from Essos, but spoke the common tongue like her.

Oren, the ringleader, addressed Astor in a mocking tone.

"Have you grown honour in your balls, now? At this moment? What a fucking idiot."

At that moment, an arrow flew into the forehead of the bandit who had tied Blackwood's men to a tree. It pierced his ugly head.

The galloping of horses could be heard in the darkness, broken by the torches carried by Alyssane and her men.

Astor loosened his grip on the girl, while Oren, seeing himself cornered, grabbed a stick from the ground and lit its tip with the fire of the nearly extinguished bonfire.

"If I'm not taking anything, neither are you, girl."

And he threw the flaming torch under the carriage.

Kyle and Nyssa screamed louder from inside as they felt the heat beneath their feet.

In terror, Lucrezcia kicked out of Astor's grip. The bandit made no attempt to recapture her, seeming too busy trying to tear his companion's head off with his eyes.

Lucrezcia tried again to pry open the locked carriage door with all her might. The smoke stung her lungs.

Alyssane arrived just in time to stop the bandits, who were trying to flee. Except for Astor, who, at the last moment, approached the carriage door.

Lucrezcia and the boy looked at each other for a second, before Astor assisted. A silent agreement. Then the bandit drew his sword, and failing to leverage it as the young woman had before, he slashed at the hinges of the door with the hilt of his sword.

Then Lucrezcia pulled hard, opening the door. She reached inside and tried to pull her friends out.

Meanwhile, Alyssane and her men rode to the scene. As one of them untied Robb and the others, Alyssane charged at Oren, who was trying to flee. And from her horse, Alyssane grabbed him by his thinning hair and pointed her sword at the bandit's throat.

"A last word?"

"Lord of Light, lead me. The night is dark and full of terrors. Lord of Light, protect me."

Then Alyssane slit his throat.

Once Kyle and Nyssa were out of the burning carriage, Blackwood's men were unleashed.

"This is my cue to leave," said Astor.

Lucrezcia looked at him. Trying to look grateful. He had saved her friends, but there would have been no need to save them if he and his gang had not attacked them.

"Thank you for your help" said Lucrezcia "Go, before you get caught."

"Many thanks to you, Vala."

Lucrezcia's head whipped around as she heard her mother's name from the stranger's lips. A name that had not been mentioned aloud for the last four years of her life. Spoken by a bandit in the Riverlands rather than in her own home by her own family.

"What did you call me?"

The boy gave him a half smile, and set the dagger he had helped rescue his friends on the ground between the two of them. Before disappearing into the shadows, he said to her.

"You look a lot like her." was not the only response "Valar Morgulis"

And he left. Leaving Lucrezcia confused and dizzy. Dagger in hand.
