A Fate Forged In Marriage

Chapter 1: How it all started

Kings Landing

Queen Rhaella was waiting outside her bedchambers waiting patiently for the news of her husband King Aerys. He came to her bedchamber earlier that night after he executed a man who he though tried to poison him. He was rough with her and did not mind her current pregnant state. During the act her went stilled and nearly crushed the Queen with his wight. She called for help and the Maester came soon after. She still do not know what if of her husband.

"Mother what happened to father?" Prince Rhaegar came running through the halls his white silky blond hair flowing in the wind and his indigo eyes shone with worries.

"I do not know son. You father just passed out." Rhaella said leaning on her son who engulfed her in a hug.

"He did not hurt you mother did he?" Rhaegar looked at her mother who barred bruises on her forearms and bite marks on her neck.

"Not more than usually." She said looking away from her son. She felt ashamed that her own son had to see her like that.

"I wish i could kill him." Rhaegar stated angrily looking at her mother with fury in his eyes.

"You cannot do that my sweet son. He is the King." Rhaella said and the doors to her bedchambers opened and the Maester came out with a solemn look on his face.

"The King is dead. His heart burst, I am so sorry. Please accept my apologies." The Maester said taking the Queens hands in his and looking at her in regret but also with relieve. The Maester kissed her hands and left her and the Price alone.

The Queen looked at her son with relieve. She did not need to suffer anymore at the hands of her husband. The Queen put her hands in her hands and wept with joy. She was free and so was the country she beloved. They were all free of her mad husband who saw nothing but treason and danger everywhere. It was a joy.

"You will never have to be scared again mother, no one will hurt you now." The Price, the future King said as he hugged his mother who was still sobbing.

That night the whole country celebrated as the mad King perished.

Winterfell

A dark haired figure was running through the halls of Winterfell, her laughter bouncing of the walls like a thousand chiming bells.

"Come on Eddard catch me." Lyanna Stark called after her brother who was laughing and trying to catch up to her. his laughter was rarely herd as he was a seldom and serious man. His younger sister was the only one who could make her him smile or laugh.

"Come on sister this is a foolish game. We should not be so needs to me stopped at once or i will tell father" Eddard tried to sound serious but he was laughing so the treat was not real.

"Stop being so mean brother, i should have just asked Benjen to play with me instead." Lyanna stopped running and turned to look at her brother. He was a tall and a broad man just like her older brother and father. Eddard stopped beside her breathless but smiling widely. His eyes that were a dark grey shade were soft as a fog in the morning. He had a nicely trimmed beard that made him look like he was older than he really was of ten and nine. It did not help that he acted older than his years. When he laughed he only looked like a man his age.

Lyanna could not blame him for acting older. Since their brother married Catelyn Tully and took over Riverrun after Hoster Tully became to sick to do look after the Riverlands. This was a shock to everyone as Hoster had a son Edmure but Edmure was young only ten and four so he did not want to put that much pressure on his son. Brandon who was supposed to be the Lord of Winterfell and the Warden of the North became the Lord of Riverrun and the Warden of the Riverlands as Edmure will become the Lord of Harrenhal.

Now the responsibility of becoming the Lord of Winterfell fell on Eddard who did not want this and was not ready. Eddard was honorable man so he rose to the resposibily and learning as much as he can as their Lord Father was sick and before long will pass away.

"Why did you not ask Benjen to play with you than sister?" Eddard asked her with a raised eyebrow.

"Well my dear brother it has been a long time since you laughed so i decided that it was time." Lyanna stark smiled as her bright solver eyes shone with joy and happiness. Lyanna reminded Eddard of their mother who died giving birth to Benjen. They looked very alike with their long wavy raven hair and silver eyes. Eddard cherished his sister and wanted to please her and she used it to her advantage.

"I believe that you should be having lessons with your Septa. Why are you not there." Eddard asked his sister who frowned at him.

"I do not want to learn how to dance or sow. I want to learn how to fight." Lyanna said with a dreamy look in her eyes.

"Do not speak of such things sister. You know father would be angered by that. Lady's should not be learning the art of fighting." Eddard said just to get his sister angered.

"The Gods have punished me into this body. I should be born a man. I could wield a sword and go of to war. I want to be a fighter." Lyanna was saddened by that fact but she had not control over the Gods or the body that she was born into.

"Do not let me hear you speak like that again Lyanna. That was very rude and inappropriate. I know that you can wield a sword very well since Brandon taught you." That brought a smile to Lyanna's face.

"Lyanna, Eddard father want to see you in his study." Benjen a boy of ten and five ran to them with a big smile on his face. His eyes the brightest shade of grey out of all their siblings.

"Do you know what does father want from us." Eddard asked his little brother.

"No i do not know Eddard i am sorry." The boy said sadly.

"Do not fret brother, all will be fine." Lyanna said and smiled at her brother.

"I better go, men from the Night's Watch came. I want to go and talk to them." Benjen said and left them with a smile.

"He is far too interested in them Eddard. I sometime worry that he will wear the black." Lyanna said and she linked her arm with Eddard as they were walking to their fathers study.

"That my dear sister is not our decision to make. If he want to wear the black it is his choice alone and it is a great honour." Eddard said and they walked to the study.

Casterly Rock

Cercei was sitting in her bedchambers remembering how last night she snack into her brothers bedchambers and kissed him for the first time. It was magnificent and forbidden. It was not unusual for brother and sister be together as the King and Queen were born from the same parents. She wanted to be with Jamie. They shared a womb

together, came to the world together and in her mind they also belonged together.

Just she she wished to be with Jamie she wanted to be with Rhaegar and become the Queen of the seven Kingdoms. She wanted power, no she craved it. She closed her eyes and saw the beautiful babes that they would make together. They were the perfect couple, both beautiful beyond compare.

Her father promised that she will be Queen one day and she hoped it would be soon. A moon ago the Mad King died making Rhaegar the King and he was looking for a Queen to rule by his side and she will be that Queen.

With that thought in mind her aunt Genna a plump lady came to her room her golden hair tightly secure in a bun.

"Child your father wants to see you in his solar. As fast as you can." She said and Cercei who was ten and eight jumped excitedly to her aunt.

"Is it about my marriage to the New King. Am i going to be his Queen." Cercei said a beautiful smile entered on her beautiful face.

"Do not waste time guessing and go see your father. You know he has no patience." Genna said with an amused smile. Cercei took her dress in her hands and ran to her fathers solar.

When she got there Jamie was already sitting opposite his father looking bored. Probably wanting to go out and spare with some poor man who could not match him.

"Sit down child. We have urgent matter to discus.." Tywin said and Cercei sat down. Jamie refused to look at his sister after what had happened last night in front of their father. He wanted his sister. Badly. He loved her deeply.

"As you know you are well old enough to marry and i need heirs and alliances must be made. King Rhaegar was looking for a wife and he seemed to find her in a far away land. He wants to marry Lyanna Stark in 2 moons time" Tywin said and Cercei was outraged. She got up from her chair

"What is the meaning of that father. You promised me that i will be Queen mot some whore from that place!" Cercei shouted at her father furious that she will be denied crown. She was far more beautiful than that wench.

"Sit down and lower your voice. I had no say in that matter. He had seen her t the tourney at Harrenhal, the one you refused to go and now he wants to marry her. The preparations re undergoing as we speak. Your other promised you to the Martells and i will keep that promise so you Jamie will marry Elia Martell in Kings Landing a moon after the Kings Wedding and will stay there for some time. Than you will come to the Rock and play the role of Lord of the Rock." Tywin said and now it was Jamie's turn to be angry.

"I will not marry and be a Lord of the Rock, i want to go out there and fight. I want to be in Kings Guard." Jamie said

"You will do no such thing. You are my sole heir as that monstrosity that is my other son will have no claim to the Rock. Now you will be wise to listen to me or you will regret it greatly." Tywin said with a low voice. Jamie swallowed hard and sat back down defeated by his father.

"You Cercei was supposed to marry Oberyn Martell however he has a bastard child with a bastard who he claims he love so i had to make other arrangements for you. You will be wed to Eddard Stark as he is now the Lord of Winterfell after his father passes away which will be soon." Tywin said and Cercei was speechless.

"You want to send me to another side of the country away from everything i know." Cercei asked shocked.

"Winterfell is the biggest place in the Kingdom. They would make great allies even if they are brutes. You will do good and produce heir for him. They are valuable." Tywin said and Cercei did not fight. She knew she already lost. She wanted to cry but she kept it in. She was a lioness. She did not cry. He left her fathers room and ran to her bedchambers. She threw herself on the bed and cried.

"Hush child. It is going to be okay. I hear that he is a handsome man. Maybe not as handsome as his older brother but still handsome. He is a good and honourable man and he will treat you finely. You will have your own castle to rule. Be quite now child." Genna came to the room and consoled her niece.

Cercei was so deep in her anguish that she did not even know that her brother Jamie already left for Kings Landing with their Father. She anted to scream and and shout and break something but she could not. She was a Lady. From a respectable household and she needed to act the part. She prepared for her leaving. Taking everything that she might need in Winterfell. She spend many night looking at the ocean remembering the smell and the look. Knowing she will never see it again. With one last look and single lone tear she looked at her house and stepped into the carriage where her new life awaits.

So how do you like the beginning was it good. Shall i continue with this story? Let me know and please review.
