Cersei Lannister was a lonely young thing, trapped in this big old castle with nothing to do. Her father was away, as usual, and her mother was dead. All she had to entertain herself were her serving maids and her two brothers. The serving maids were dreadfully dull; all they cared about was crocheting and going for walks in the garden. Cersei had tried to engage them in meaningful conversation on more than one occasion, but they were dull as boards. That left her two brothers, Tyrion and Jamie. She resented the imp for clawing its way out of her mother’s womb, killing her in the process, so she would not look to him to cure her boredom. She didn’t give a care what Tyrion did with his time, and she was glad she did not have to be involved. Often, she wondered why her father hadn’t just killed him to begin with.
That left Jamie, her twin. They’d grown together in their mother’s womb, and as children they were attached at the hip. They’d play Prince and Princess and duel with wooden swords in the garden. They’d spent most of their days together, but now that Jamie was in training to be a knight, she didn’t see him very often. A part of her was not only jealous that he didn’t have time for her anymore, but that she couldn’t have the freedom to become a knight as well. It seemed a hell of a lot more exciting than the life she led now.
Cersei wandered to Jamie’s quarters, serving maids trailing behind like sheep. “Leave me,” she told them once she was outside of his room. They curtsied and did as they were told, leaving Cersei alone with Jamie’s door. Today was one of the rare days Jamie had off from training, and Cersei was looking forward to spending the day with him. An excitement buzzed inside of her as she knocked thrice on his door. “Jamie? It’s your sister.”
