It wasn't a common job for a woman to have as a mercenary, but you took great pleasure in the expressions of your employers, allies or foes when they realised you were of the fairer sex. You had been hired by Queen Cersei to protect her as she believed that many people were going to try to hurt her, but knowing of her, it didn't surprise you, and it wouldn't surprise you if work would be coming your way to take her life but as long as the gold was coming from her, she was safe from your hands. You hadn't met her, but your reputation preceded you and she sought you out.

Even though you were one of the best at what you did, you trained daily and that was where you were to meet the queen. You were sparring in your full armour, an easy task for you, no one nearby being able to be a challenge, but you enjoyed training, nevertheless. As you floored your opponent you noticed the queen approach.

"So, you are the one with such a high price," she commented. "I must say your training showed that you are worth the gold."

You removed your helmet, letting your long hair fall from it in a slight mess as it had been forced within the heavy metal.

"As long as you are filling my pocket, your majesty, I am here at your beck and call to keep you safe from any danger," you stated.

The queen cocked an eyebrow at you, clearly surprised by your appearance.

"A woman? I have never seen a woman who can fight as well as my knights although I do appreciate that you know you are here to serve me," she smirked.

"Serving your every need is my honour, your majesty- for the right price that is," you commented, letting her know that money was your language and you were willing to continue to be her sword as long as she wanted to keep you well paid.

"I can only imagine your talents elsewhere, like in the bedroom perhaps," she said, knowing what she wanted and knowing she would easily be able to get it.

"Perhaps we shall see, your majesty, but without an explicit invite to your bed chambers, I do not believe it would be honourable for me to simply arrive unannounced."

Cersei nodded her head at you. "Then I shall invite you to accompany me to my bed chambers tonight, who knows who could be lurking along the hallways."

"Yes, who knows."

With a shared look, you knew how your night would end but weren't going to say much more about it due to company.
