Customarily, it was unprecedented for a woman who was promised to another to share more than one dance with the same partner. It could reflect poorly on both her house and the house of her betrothed. However, Alayna could hardly care less about prosperity in this case because she was in the arms of the man she wanted. To hells with what others thought of her.
Alayna felt a blush bloom on the apples of her cheeks as she glanced down at his breast plate, “It’s probably been ages since you’ve had a proper tilt.”
“Truly.” The Dornishman agreed, “The last tourney I went to was the tourney at Storm’s End held in honor of Lord Steffon.”
“I’d wager you’re itching to redeem yourself against our dear prince.” She smirked, recalling how Griff had

Touching where his lips had touched her, she watched on wistfully as the scene unfolded before her as King Aerys called the newly knight Jaime Lannister to stand before the congregation.
Two familiar presences found her causing Alayna to grip both Ashara and Griff’s hands. The trio observed as Jaime’s fate was sealed as he swore the oaths of the Kingsguard. Ordinarily, Alayna would’ve been as ecstatic as the rest of the spectators as they cheered once Jaime’s white cloak was clasp to his armor and he was presented to the crowd. But Alayna felt no elation her eyes finding Arthur, the man who could never be hers because he too had swore to hold no lands or titles, take no wife, or father any children. It was a lifetime appointment only completed when death came. Sorrowful tears pricked at the corner of her eyes as she wished for a different life.
Alayna put the finishing touches on her favor for Arthur. A handkerchief embroidered with a lilac rose; a combination of his house’s colors and her sigil. A physical symbol her heart belonged to him even if they couldn’t be together. She smirked as she tied off the last stitch, admiring her handy work. For once the sewing lessons her Septa had forced her to sit through paid off, not that Alayna would ever admit it aloud. She had a reputation to uphold.
Making her way through the bustling
She knew there was better ways to live and decided that she could never achieve this way
She began to feel disheartened; when she says her ‘heart sank further and further’. This tells us that she was feeling disappointed and felt that she should give up but by telling herself that one day life would ‘feel life was approximately a hundred times better’ it kept her going because she thought it would be over at some point and her life would then improve.
"I only wish it were pleasure." Lord Guardian O'Dell's voice wavered. "My brother is at it again."
“I’ve never seen such passionate eyes before,” Rose offered Pearl a gentle smile, then proceeded to extend her arm out and interlaced her fingers with Pearl’s own bony
I gave a rough kick to his leg under the table, wiping the smirk off and replaced it with a pained expression. “You’re Blake Lawson and I know you don’t need me to be another person forever in your debt. Are we
Johnson sneaked a peek at Lela with such hatred in her eyes. She wore a floral top with a purple cardigan. Her pearl necklace flickered in the light provided by the chandelier above the table.
The A on Hester’s dress helps Hester by giving her a job. The stunning gold embroidery on the A was a beautiful sample work of her abilities as a seamstress. Hester’s
She felt as though her life would never be the same again, and even tried to run away risking her chances of becoming a Geisha.
The exposition begins in Athens with Hermia being forced by her father, Egeus and Theseus, the duke of Athens, to marry Demetrius, a man she did not love. She was in love with Lysander. Since they could not marry, Lysander was to meet her in the forest so they could run away to his aunt’s house in another city. Hermia’s best friend, Helena, was in love with Demetrius, who did not love her. She told him about the plan and followed him to the woods to see what was going to happen, the woods were also filled with fairies. The King of the fairies Oberon and the Queen of fairies Titania were fighting over a changeling boy because the king wanted to use the boy as his page.
Lysander: I am ,my lord, as noble and rich as he is. I love Hermia more than he does. My prospects are as good as Demetrius’, if not better. Which is more than all those other things I’m braggin about. Beautiful Hermia loves me. Why should I not be able to marry her? Demetrius, I will say it to his face, courted Nedar’s daughter, Helena, and made her fall in love with him. Sweet lady Helena loves adoringly. She adores this horrible and unfaithful man.
Like hot coals, the black sand scorched the bottoms of Lyra’s feet as she frantically jumped from one foot to the other every few seconds.
Entering Mace’s tent, Alayna found her lord brother and betrothed seated at the table they’d brought with them from Highgarden sharing a decanter of wine. Both men stood when they took note of her presence and Jon pulled out the empty chair beside him for her to take. However, Alayna pulled out her own seat across from the knight and poured herself a chalice of rich Arbor Gold as she sat.
“No she was small like two fried eggs,” and he moved his hands onto to his chest to indicate breasts.
Elida is the daughter of Glozelle and Elilowny. Well not really Glozelle's daughter, more like his step daughter, her real father being a man called Asher. Asher and Inger being married before then, but he died of an illness. Inger however, married Glozelle nearly four years later, Glozelle really not minding she had three children, as she was a widow. That and Inger and Glozelle had developed a attraction, fondness and liking for each other which turned into love. She grew happy and healthy Inger particularly singing Elida a lullaby all the time when she was young, and telling her all sorts of tales on love filled romantic and adventures. Elilowny had installed most of Elida's beliefs and ideals in her from a young age. Eliowny had also been
“And, get this! you’ve been chosen as the next Lust,” she tossed in, giving a taunting smirk at the
