“Is that a smile Jon Snow?” Wylla teased him. “I can’t wait for it…” Jon replied giving away a subtle smile. Inside him he cursed the distance between Winterfell and White Harbor, he liked Wylla, since that night when she made him reflect on how important is being an honourable man, without thinking about his origins. “I’ll try to come back for the harvest feast,” she said, and Jon nodded.
“I’m not very good at writing letters…” Jon replied scratching the back of his head, “But I’m pretty sure that I can give it a try” he added and smiled. “Will you write me a letter?” Wylla asked. “You should stay away from knights right now lady Lyanna, it wouldn’t be proper of a lady to meet with one in the middle of the night,” the queen said before allowing her to leave.Īs she walked she thought about the Queen’s words, she saw her speaking with Ser Jaime and she was jealous for sure, the rumours about the Lannister Twins were pretty well known, even in the North. “Now, if you excuse me, your grace, I have to help my younger brother with his trip” “I had to have faith in something while men were killing each other and while other men sacked cities and murdered children,” she said and turned to make a reverence to the queen.
“It sounds like something that a girl of your age would think…” she replied seriously. “No, your grace… a knight,” she said and noticed how quickly the Queen’s smile disappeared. Lyanna gave out a deep breath, she was pissed with how the queen tried to humiliate her. “Your brother?” The Queen asked inquiringly. “I had hope, hope that someone would come to save me, I think about him every day,” Lyanna replied. “I’ve heard of women who kill themselves after suffering what prince Rhaegar did to you, How did you manage to resist until this very day?” she kept asking. “I can’t forget those times, I will never forget those times.” She replied bravely. “Do you remember your time in the south, my lady?” she asked with poison in every word. “I haven’t been in this castle since I returned from King’s Landing, Your grace” she replied “It’s good to see the walls that saw me grow up” She was one of the most beautiful women in the seven kingdoms for sure. Her emerald eyes shone beautifully, her golden hanging loose except for two braids that crowned her. Lyanna turned surprised to see the Queen, Cersei Lannister behind her. “A pretty view isn’t it?” a woman asked suddenly behind her. She saw a depressed man forced to take control of something he had no interest in.
Lyanna was able to see beyond the drunk and whoremonger standing in the courtyard. She looked at the king then, Robert Baratheon, he didn’t look like the man who allowed her to return home.
Ned didn’t speak about it with her, but she noticed how concerned he looked when anybody mentioned the previous hand. Her elder brother was getting ready to leave too, the hand of the king was ready to serve the realm, but most importantly, ready to find out what happened with Lord Jon Arryn. She wanted to stay, and Eddard allowed it with a pretty excited Lady Stark. Benjen was packing his clothes and some personal objects to return to his wife’s side with his children back at Barrowtown with his Lord. Now, Jon was part of Robb’s household guard, he was safe serving the heir to the North, he was serving his family. Jon Snow… she never thought about a name for him, she wished for his death many times during the pregnancy. The cold breeze made her blush that morning, she decided that she needed to spend more time with her son, see him and even advise him.
