To Do Your Duty

Summary:

Brienne knows that she'll need Stannis' help to save Sansa

Notes:

This can be read as a stand alone all you have to know is that Stannis didn't burn Shireen
This one is going to be a bit different than Please Forgive Me and I hope the characters won't be too OOC ...
I hope you don't mind my spelling . English is not my first language and I'm sorry for all the grammatical errors.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: Duty

Chapter Text

He failed 

He failed to take Winterfell ...

He failed to defeat the Boltons...

He failed to feed his men ... 

and worst of all 

He failed his daughter ...

 

He send her away before the battle begun , if you can even call it a battle ... slaughter that's what it was . The Bolton men killed every one of his men except him .

He wasn't a fool he knew that he would die here today .

Leaving Shireen behind ... She would be alone like he had been .... parentless.... only her and Ser Davos ... He left him with clear instructions .

Shireen will sit on the Iron Throne !  

She will remember him . She was strong ! 

When she heard what had happened to her mother ... She stayed strong ... He knew that Selyse wasn't a  good mother but when they found her dead body ... She hung herself after loosing all hope when he killed the Red Witch . 

He thought Shireen would cry ... scream ... anything but she didn't even flinch when they burned her mothers body . She held onto his cloak as to make sure he was still there ... now he wasn't and would never be again ...

 

 

"Any last words ? " Renlys knight asked him ... she would kill him he was sure of that  and strangely he accepted his faith ..

 

"Go on do your duty"

 

She looked at him raised her sword and ...

A loud noise right next to his left ear .. steel colliding with wood ... no pain ... 

He opened his eyes and found that her sword was stuck in the tree behind his back ... 

He slowly looked up at her . She looked down still holding the  Valyrian Steel Sword . 

Her face red with anger and her voice deadly quiet  "Sansa"
