Thank you

He thought he was stronger than this. All those tournaments, he was the best at everything, the one that everyone wanted. The only person that had defeated him was Brienne the Beauty and he doubted that she was even human. How could these men, these supposedly holy men with no weapons and armor, have taken him? They beat him, tortured him to the point of madness, and kept after him with their demands to confess. That was the most difficult part of this ordeal, the idea that his love for Renly, the time they spent together, the words they’d spoken and meant just for one another, that all of that was a crime that he needed to confess to in order to be free. His sister couldn’t stand to see him in this condition. She begged him to confess, and that was ultimately what broke him.

He felt the knife point pierce his skin, marking him as theirs. He wanted them to cut deeper, cut all of the perceived evil parts of himself away. He had one brief moment before he closed his eyes to think I’m sorry, Renly and then Loras Tyrell, Knight of the Flowers was no more.
