And so days and weeks have passed since the night Queen Margaery of House Tyrell was assassinated by a demonic spirit that sliced her neck swiftly with a dark blade. Few people believed this story, and fewer people stood by Sansa. Most of the castle attendants kept her distance from the Stark girl. "Traitor's blood runs in her veins" they kept whispering around her and she could hear them. She pretended not to listen, acted like she didn't care. The poor girl was the first person to arrive at the burial ceremony for her friend, yet that wasn't enough to convince others she was innocent. Sansa contemplated about running to Winterfell. To the land of her blood where people respected House Stark and would shelter her. It would be different than the lavish royal castle she was in, and she would miss the luxuries of the Red Keep, but her cherished memories in Winterfell made the place seem much warmer than it actually was. The feeling of snow landing on her cheeks, soft as kitten kisses and light as air.
She missed Septa Mordane's etiquette lessons. The Septa taught her how to behave around royals, how to act like a noble lady, and how to weave dresses and bake desserts. The poor woman was executed by Cersei following Eddard Stark's alleged treason. She longed for her sister Arya. How they annoyed each other, ruffling each others feathers and messing each other's hair. The two were very different yet very close, despite their contempt for showing that mushiness. She hadn't heard from her little sister since their father was executed, and she simply assumed herself was the last Stark still alive.
If there was anyone that facilitated Sansa's stay in King's Landing, someone that hasn't left her side, someone that showed her support, trust and love, it was Tommen. The man, although depressed over the loss of his wife, the woman to whom he gave his virginity, has found it in his heart to show remorse and care for Sansa. This is something Sansa adored and held dearly to. She knew that if she took her leave, Tommen will be in distraught. He sheltered her and showered her with love, and he deserved the same from her. Perhaps it was the fright of her life turning to emptiness again, but Sansa slowly started falling for her king. He was handsome, caring and single. She wagered he felt the same thing but needed time to overcome his recent calamity.
"Perhaps all he needs is time" the Stark girl told herself. It has been three weeks since Margaery's passing, and Tommen and Sansa haven't slept together ever since. He was so determined to catch Melisandre that he turned a blind eye to all the pleasures of life. Every day he would welcome bounty hunters claiming to have killed the woman in red, but they would soon be proven wrong and taught that many women in Westeros like red dresses.
Arya Stark
"Seems awfully quiet in here" The sixteen year old Stark girl commented, and a nearby guard briefed her on the king's orders. The city's flag was hang upside down signifying distress. All the taverns and brothels were closed. No music was allowed in the city, and visitors were welcomed to the Red Keep to give their condolences, and bounty hunters to collect the reward if they shot the right woman. It was the last few days of the ceremony. In a few days the city will be alive again. Arya didn't care if Tommen would feel alive after a few days, but she wondered if the rumors were true. Is it true that Sansa was still in King's Landing? Everyone in her house was killed, it made no sense that Sansa be spared. Would the Lannisters do it just to humiliate her? Or was she one of them now? Arya took it upon herself to find out.
Thanks to Jaqen H'ghar's teachings and the guidance of the Many Faced God, Arya could now disguise herself and alter her voice to mimic any person in the world. She approached the castle by night and easily slid inside. First she morphed into a guard, and once she was inside she was Ser Meryn Trant, the evil bastard whom she killed in Bravoos a month ago. Word still hasn't reached the capital, and using him as a disguised was perfect. She walked by the dungeons where prisoners were kept, and Sansa was nowhere to be found. Then when she entered the main hall, she turned into a common handmaiden. It has been ages since she had last walked in these corridors, but her memory guided her to the private chambers and her fears were soon confirmed when she saw Sansa peacefully sleeping in her own room. Full of everything a noble woman needed. A comfy bed, a full wardrobe, and even perfumes filling the air. "Like a princess" Arya hissed as she returned to her normal appearance and Sansa woke up. They exchanged hugs, and whispered together exchanging news and stories.
When Arya suggested the two girls escape King's Landing and return to Winterfell, Sansa shook her head in rejection. A heated argument soon ensued, and Arya stormed out of the room screaming "HE DOESN'T LIKE YOU!". When Sansa tried to follow her, Arya vanished into thin air. "Idiot thinks that Lannister inbred will make her his queen. The same delusions she had with Joffrey, and now Tommen. Won't she ever learn.." Arya told herself as she kicked a stone. Suddenly an idea came to her mind. What if she proves to Sansa that Tommen will mount any woman that bends over for him? That will get her back to her senses!
The next morning, directly after breakfast, Arya was disguising herself as a maid. She was in Tommen's private chambers, with a feather broom and wearing a tight dress that hugged her petite figure and showed her smooth legs and lean shoulders. Just the right amount of makeup, and a perfect face she had borrowed from a popular Dornish courtesan. She knew she will have him begging for her touch..
