〰️ Lady Barbrey Dustin 〰️

It's been two months and four days and still my daughter hasn't found the opportunity to get closer to King Jon. As the days turned into weeks it began to get harder and harder to find time for her to be alone with him. My patience was growing thin but I can't rush things or else Jon, the spider and wife might get suspicious of my intentions.

I have to play this smart and not rush things but I do need to get things moving along. Leaning back in my chair in my war chamber, I stare out at the landscape filled with snow hoping an idea will come to mind. Hours ticked by and soon I had a plan about getting the King and Queen at odds with each other.

'Knock!! Knock!!', someone interrupts my thoughts

"Come in", I grudgingly say turning back around

"Mi'lady Dustin there's an Lord Reed here to speak to you"

Sighing softly, "Let him in",

Bowing nervously, "Yes Mi'lady", then turns and exists to bring in Lord Reed

I couldn't help but be interested in what he wanted, especially since he came all this way himself and could have just sent an raven.

Walking into my war chamber Lord Reed looked like a man that had the world on his shoulder. Roberts Rebellion hadn't been good to him at all. The wound his suffered form Ser Arthur Dayne had made him walk with a limb and had harden his once handsome face and soft eyes. Now stood a man that had seen the ugly behind an rebellion that thousands had died for, because a fat greedy fool couldn't see that Lyanna Stark didn't love him, let alone wanted him. And now years later the once yearned for lion beauty, Roberts loveless wife is now causing another rebellion.

Smiling pleasantly at Lord Reed, "What can I do for you, Lord Reed?", I say as I get up from my desk to pour myself a glass of wine

"I've come to offer an marriage alliance because our two houses"

Arching an eyebrow, "And why would I entertain a marriage proposal with your house? Especially since I have so many others to choose from", I grin trying to hide my irritation

This is the very reason why I wanted Mikla to marry a Stark because it was getting harder to decline marriage proposals.

Smirking at me knowingly, "Because we both know you wanted to marry a Stark and since you didn't, you want your daughter to marry one", he smirk grew wider, "But as we all know the Starks are gone and Jon is the closest to getting a Stark. But that ship too as sailed", he laughs

Rolling my eyes, "So what are you saying Lord Reed because these word games are growing boring", I said sipping my wine trying to look unaffected

"You want to turn your daughter into King Jon's mistress", Lord Reed smirks

Arching an eyebrow, "Bold word's Lord Reed", I pinched my lips together trying to play it cool but instead I was panicking and irritated most of all
