The life of a man who wouldn’t marry and wouldn’t have kids wasn’t an appealing choice to him until his father tried to saddle him with an ugly woman from another House. Jaime Corbray never really wanted to be Kingsguard. When the King raised a toast to his new wife the whole hall echoed.īut they all whispered the real title before they took the sip. One far less prettier than the ones on the street and seemed to paint herself as a picture of virtue despite everyone knowing that she was anything but. The Princess had cursed her for truly no one in this throne room saw a Queen. Everyone knows you for who you are and that is what they will call you. “You can wear the crown but know you will never be a Queen accepted by the people. Heard them look at her in the Targaryen black and circlet of rubies and valyrian steel on her head and snicker. In the very hall that had the King and Queen seated. She walked around filling the glass with wine and heard people whisper. Certainly would be better in bed too unless the King liked dim witted girls. She had seen whores prettier than the Queen. If the King wanted a whore to warm his bed he should have just bought a Lyseni whore.” “She isn’t even that pretty.” Some snickered. The jeers in the street taunting the new Queen were louder than the cheers that were ordered from the common folk after seeing their Queen. When the King kissed the new Queen the people cheered, yet even Rosanne, who had never attended a royal wedding before, could tell that the cheers were muted. She snuck out and witnessed the ceremony. Rosanne was amongst those who attended the wedding on the sept. At the fact that she would never be worthy of Targaryen black and how her claims of being pure was nothing but a farce. Lady Jeyne Arryn had simply smiled and said to the Queen that dressed in her white wedding dress and said that white was truly her color.Įveryone knew it was a jab. Excuses and lies flowing out of their lips as they made their way out of the palace. Most not even staying past the wedding to attend the feast. The most notable one was the Houses from Vale. They whispered amongst themselves that she must have been his whore while the Queen was still alive. Other noble houses looked at the Queen mockingly. Rosanne and the rest of the hall had watched, laughing quietly, as the Princess Rhaenys barely dipped a curtsy to the new Queen. But even the Princess had openly sneered at the Queen. The only ones with Targaryen blood to attend the feast was the Velaryons and Princess Rhaenys. Neither his servants nor his whore knew where he was. He was said to be at Dragonstone but then the next day he wasn’t. She took to the skies and was never seen again after the day the King announced his betrothal. Almost no Targaryens to attend the feast. She would be heartbroken to see the state of her House today. Rosanne had heard the screams of the Queen on that awful day. The good Queen’s blood hasn’t even dried from her bed.” “A year has not passed and the King takes someone to bed. “Can’t blame the Princess for leaving.” The cooks sniffed. Not when they saw the Princess hurl those words at her face before she vanished. Not when everyone in the keep heard and saw what happened that night. Rosanne knew that the Queen knew what people called her. No one said it to her face but everyone whispered it behind her back. “His whore.” the kitchen maids snickered. Like today during the banquet of the wedding of the King to his new Queen. She had followed her mother to work when she found out her father tried to sell her for measly copper stars so he could get his next bottle and there she stayed with her mother growing up and learning the ways to serve the royal family. Rosanne started working at the Red Keep when she was a child.
