Robert Baratheon II
"You disappoint me."
Alanna said sitting at the head of the table. She looked at Kayla, the woman couldn't even make eye contact, and Alanna knew right then and there that Kayla knew of the disappointment.
The party for Robert was still happening in the rooms below them. Alanna had just finished speaking to Judith when she came across Kayla and the two of them came here for a private meeting.
"Constantly borrowing from my Lord of substantial amounts of Gold -- even amounts that I find tedious to produce!"
She snarled toward Kayla while she rose from her seat. Alanna placed her hands behind her back and moved around the table.
It was always their first order of business whenever Alanna and any of the other wards were to meet up was to have a council meeting to regain understanding of where their houses stood.
And on Kayla's part the standing was not anywhere near good.
"We all know that because of my Lord I am able to produce gold, but when I am constantly haggled at every turn by your Lord things become irrational and I tire of it!"
"Alanna please -- "
"You honestly have something to say?"
Alanna questioned turning on a dime to look toward Kayla, seeing that she was still staring at the ground. Alanna approached her.
"You are lucky that I have the decency to at least pull you aside and into one of the libraries here in the castle. You are very lucky that because we've been through so much together that I am lenient when it comes to such disgraceful acts of behavior."
She said causing Kayla to shake in her chair. Alanna pulled back a moment and inhaled deeply. She had to recompose herself, last thing she needed was Tywin sending men to come find her feeling the anger sweeping through her being.
"You have failed your house horrendously. There's no denying that. Robert is no more than a sex craved, fat, drunkard who thinks he's a king merely because he wears a crown."
Alanna said coldly.
"A crown doesn't give you power."
She finished. Alanna huffed and turned her back to Kayla. The woman sat there her eyes darting about.
"Gain control over your house again or I'll see to it personally that Robert pays back everything in full plus the interest her owes!"
Alanna dismisses herself leaving on that note. Even after Alanna had left the room the air was still thick. It was almost suffocating to Kayla as she rose from the chair in an almost panicked state and rushed for the window. She threw it open and gasped for air.
Her stomach turned and for the first time in years, she puked. Her nerves ticking away on end and she couldn't control herself well at all.
Alanna had voiced her displeasure, something that Kayla had feared. Jaime had tried to for warn her, but she ignored his words for the most part.
Now there she stood puking out of the window in the tower of the library, trying to calm herself from the heavy and sickening feeling that followed Alanna Lannister around whenever she was displeased.
And one thing was for sure and Kayla knew this -- she had to speak to Robert post haste or else she feared the worst.
