Planning and Strength


To say that Jaime Lannister was wrong about a wedding before the tournament, was something one could not say. While Tywin and Tyrion Lannister were not attending the rest of the Lannister family was. Plans kept the soon to be wed couple away from each other, well as much as someone could make it so. Still bitter that her brother was marrying someone other than her, she was not making this wedding planning easy for the young woman. The queen was quick to point out anything the young maiden did not know, every flaw she had, and when she didn't look up to par it was a terrible lashing. Bella tried her hardest not to let it bother her, she really did, but when she finally had enough she left the Queen's chamber and went on a stroll. One that led her to her betrothed without her realizing. Jaimie noticed the look of despair upon Bella's face and quickly thought the worst.

"What's wrong," he asked, grabbing a hold of her hand and leading her away from listening ears and watchful eyes.

"Nothing, just worrying is all," she answered not wanting to bother him.

"I can tell when someone is lying to me, Arabella. Please tell me what has happened, maybe I can help. Your problems and fights will be mine as well," he tells her.

"I know, but I do not want to cause issues with anyone," she tells him looking over his features feeling the calming presence.

"Bella," he said, sounding like a father scolding a child.

"The queen had said something, and it just bothered me," she said dismissively looking down at her feet. However Jaimie had a feeling his sister had done much worse than said something to the woman before him.

"What had my sister said. I know she can be mean when she doesn't get her way. If she said something to hurt you, I promise I won't tell her you told me," he told his soon to be wife, picking her chin up forcing her to look up at him, through her eyes still appeared to be looking down to the floor.

"Bella, please whatever she told is a lie. If she told you that you were a bad betrothed, she is wrong because you are the best that any man could dream of. If she told you that you were stupid, she is wrong because your brilliance outshines her by far. If she told you that your stitch work is terrible, then I must tell you her's is far worse. If she told you that you were anything other than a wolf soon to be lion, that is farthest from the truth because when you speak your mind all that I hear is your ROAR and see your teeth bared for a fight. You are this amazing woman Bella, and do not let my sister make you feel otherwise. Now go back up there and show her that you are not to be messed with and should any issues arise I will save you, if you allow me," Jaimen told the woman he was soon to marry.

"You certainly have a way with words Jaime Lannister. Along with making me feel better. Thank you, and I do not believe I will need saving, your sister may though," Bella says with a smirk and gleam in her eyes.

"Okay, well get back up there. I shall escort you back, mainly because I want to see you roar," he tells her before offering his arm to her and beginning towards the Queen's Quarters.

The rest of the afternoon didn't bother Arabella because she did not let it. The queen still made her remarks, but Arabella responded back, with respect of course, when she was actually right rather than the queen. This earned her a few glares, but nothing Bella couldn't handle. When the day was coming to mid-afternoon, Bella was released along with the other ladies from the Cersi's quarters.

Not to soon after did Jaime enter her room, wishing to speak with her among other things.
