Fated

Red Keep

Scillia was having her bath in her privy while Luella and Jeanne both helped to scrub off any dead skin on her body when Militsa came into her chamber with a red dress. Getting up, Luella and Jeanne wore a robe for her and escorted her back to her chamber before putting on the dress Militsa had brought for her. Slowly by slowly, Jeanne helped dress Scillia up while Luella and Militsa focused on braiding her hair before Militsa left the chamber with Scillia's laundry. As the finishing touch up, Scillia wore her red rose necklace before examining her reflection in the large mirror.

"you look really beautiful Scillia, like a real red rose in disguise!" Luella twirled Scillia's hair while standing next to her, examining Scillia's reflection in the mirror. "Come on, his Grace must be waiting for you, it's inappropriate to let your guest waiting." Luella eventually backed away, standing next to Jeanne as they both waited for Scillia to leave her chamber. Making her way to the Great Hall, they saw Joffrey slouching on the Iron Throne as usual, as Scillia got closer to the platform where the Iron Throne was, she curtsy to the Lannister sitting in front of her gracefully, greeting them politely,

"your Grace, it's an honor for me to be invited by you to the Great Hall once again, my Queen, your Grace Tywin, it's a real pleasure to meet you too!" Scillia smiled,

"I must apologize that I wasn't around to welcome you and your family to our Red Keep, now that I have the chance to look at you closely, I must say that you're a real Beauty!" Cersei gave her infamous smile, "if you don't mind me asking, are you really a Hildegard with parts of their blood running in your veins?" Cersei squinted her eyes, 

"my Queen, I am a Hildegard, born to Philip Hildegard and granddaughter of Aedelric Hildegard." Scillia answered calmly, 

"THAT'S ENOUGH! I didn't invite Lady Scillia to the Great Hall today to be interrogated about her family's background!" Joffrey snapped, his voice echoed through the Great Hall. "Come, Lady Scillia, allow me to show you around my castle, I must say that my mother can be a melodramatic person sometimes." Joffrey got down from the Iron Throne and the platform before leaving with Scillia after curtsying to the Lannister. Scillia was clutching onto her dress tightly, surprised at how Joffrey could speak that way to someone older than him. While Scillia followed closely next to Joffrey, he suddenly halted in his track, so did Scillia before turning,

"Leave us!" Joffrey ordered, throwing daggers at Luella and Jeanne through his deadly stare. Hoping that they both would be brave enough to defy Joffrey's order, her heartbeat begin racing as she saw them both walk further and further away from her before disappearing behind a wall. "Lady Scillia, I'm sorry if I had frightened you, I just don't like it when I'm being followed around by any guards or maids when I'm bringing my guest for a tour around my castle." Joffrey lowered his voice, stretching his hand out for Scillia to take. With her trembling hands, Scillia had no choice but to take his hand before she was brought along the castle, Joffrey always tried to converse with Scillia to which she always answers back shortly. As they continue to walk down the garden, they two accidentally bumped into Randel, 

"your Grace!" Randel bowed to Joffrey before giving a look to Scillia, 

"Lord Randel, it's a pleasure to meet you again, it's been" Joffrey pouted, "ages since we've met haven't we? You're really lucky to have a beautiful sister like Lady Scillia, don't you?" Joffrey turned to look at Scillia by his side, lowering her head, Randel forced up a smile,

"your Grace, I'm very much indeed blessed to have a sister like Scillia not only because she's beautiful, she has the biggest heart out of all the Hildegard." Randel admitted, "your Grace, if you don't mind, why don't I come along with you both? I would love to see how beautiful Red Keep is." Randel exchanged smile with Scillia to which she reciprocated back, 

"No, of course not, help yourself!" Joffrey replied back, clearly annoyed with Randel's request before passing by him while Randel trailed closely behind them. He knew what Joffrey could do to Scillia if he doesn't intervene soon, he knew what Joffrey was like after hearing the rumors from the people of King's landing, he especially knew how scary Joffrey could be, he was a two-faced person, arrogant, sadistic and cruel, certainly a King he wouldn't like Scillia hanging around with too much. Before they three knew it, they came into contact with a man, too short for his age and a young Lady around Scillia's age. They two immediately showed their vexation when they saw Joffrey although the lady showed a tint of fear in her eyes.

"Your Grace!" they two greeted Joffrey, curtsying and bowing to him respectively.

"Uncle! I wasn't expecting to see you here! And you of course, aunt Sansa!" Joffrey smirked, a tint of mockery could be traced in his voice at the word aunt.

"Lord Randel! Nice to meet you again! It's been a while since we've met!" the man smiled, stretching his hands outwards to give Randel a hug, ignoring the fact that Joffrey had greeted him, when they two broke the hug, "and who's this lovely lady, may I ask?" he asked, looking at Scillia beside Randel,

"Lord Tyrion, this is my younger sister, Scillia Rose Hildegard, Scillia, this is my good friend, Lord Tyrion Lannister!" Randel introduced them both, 

"Nice to meet you Lord Tyrion, I've heard so much about you, I'm glad that I have the opportunity to meet you with my very own eyes!" Scillia curtsy, smiling at him sweetly, 

"my goodness, I never knew the Philip has a daughter! Especially a beautiful lady like you!" Tyrion kissed the back of her hand, complementing her, "Sansa, do come over here, I would like you to meet this lovely lady!" Tyrion gestured his wife over, as Sansa curtsy to Joffrey before walking next to Tyrion, 

"you must be Lady Sansa from Winterfell, it's an honor to meet you here!" Scillia curtsy to her, before she could say a word,

'uncle, mind if I were to take Lord Randel and Lady Scillia back for a tour around my castle? They've much to see!" Joffrey said through gritted teeth, 

"what's the rush? They can tour around your castle in many days to come, but first, a celebration must we celebrate, Lady Scillia, since you know who my wife is, you can be her friend, she's a real nice lady, come Randel, we have a lot to talk about!" Tyrion replied back stoically before leaving with Randel, Scillia and Sansa exchanged smiles, curtsying at Joffrey before leaving him alone behind.
