Chapter 2 - The Maid and a visit from the past


Lord Pettyr and Lady Marie is settled in their new surroundings. Every night they would spend time together in front of the warm fireplace in the master bedroom. They would share secrets, stories and memories from a long lost past.

Their housemaid moved in recently, and her name was Clara.


Lady Marie decided to explore their new settlement, and found herself deep within the forest. She knew this path, it would take her close to the place she grew up. She had been staying at Inns and taverns while traveling, but now she was close.


What an extraordinary view, she thought. The reason why she came was really for her father, who had grown old and this might be her last visit.

She was raised here, and the townies was all exited about seeing their childhood nobleness again. What a thrill. They talked for hours and the old man in the middle was Marie's father, Gondor. They had a lot to talk about and all agreed that her brother, John, would come visit her at her new homestead.

Lord Arryn was given all of the finest toys and clothes in the kingdom. He had now grown to be a child, but was a confused little one. Every time he tried to visit his mothers chambers, she would shoo him away. They did not spend much time together it seemed.

Lord Pettyr had grown fond of Clara, the maid, and suddenly he could not resist her any longer. As a maid, of course, she had to give in to her lord. She did not feel the same for Pettyr, but let him stay for the nights. She could not afford to loose her job, as things were.



Finally the day arrived where Lord John, Marie's brother, would arrive. Everyone greeted him and this kept Marie's thought long away from her suspects of her husband staying away at night often. What was he doing?


They would share their long lost childhood together and suddenly everything seemed to be just fine. They discussed the state of their father, he was not well. But Marie couldn't help herself but feel happiness for a brief moment, as her brother was here.



Lord Pettyr would continue to spend the night with Clara more and more often. Would anyone suspect?

Clara cleaned the child's room and she was a good maid. She both cleaned and cooked for the family.




In her free time, by the evening, she would study in hopes of one day becoming a famous tailor in the Praaven Kingdom.

Lord John would be staying in the Blue Room, which was the resident guest room. Here he would stay the next couple of weeks studying medicine and having a break from his lordships at home.


The little lord Arryn was also very fond of his uncle, though this would be the only and last time he would ever see him. But a grown up wanting to speak with him seemed like a whole new world to him. The next couple a months, Uncle Arryn would share knowledge and stories with his young nephew.

"Where have you been?" Lady Marie pleaded her husband. He sighed, as he thought he could just crawl into bed without her noticing. He told her, that as a man he had lust and not always could a wife for fill that. She cried and leaped into his arms, knowing that this was just how things were for a noble wife.
