Everything in her life had been leading to this moment.
Her grandfather Rodrick Ryswell had fought tooth and nail to make Robert Baratheon recognize her as Brandon Stark's trueborn child even after William made her his heir and gave her the name Dustin at the hour of her birth.
Six and ten years and the only person to support her claim had been Stannis Baratheon
Tonight, Lyanna Dustin would be attending the king as Lord of the Barrows, and fourth in line to the Wardenship of the North. Right after little Rickon Stark, but before Ned Stark's daughters.
Lya was certain it would make Catelyn Stark hate her more.
"I do not want the north, mama." Lyanna complained.
No, the north was not what she wanted.
"Then what do you want, child?" her mother asked annoyed at her six- and ten-year-old daughter.
"I want the seven kingdoms." The blue-eyed girl said.
The north was not enough, she wanted everything.
Lyanna should not be there.
Neither should they and neither should Brandon, but what can they do about it now?
He will be lucky if he lives.
The surefooted little boy had fallen.
No Brandon had not fallen, he had been pushed.
Blonde man, blonde woman.
A knight and his whore had been inside the first keep and ran while Lyanna had cradled the little boy and screamed for help.
She had only seen them from the corner of her eye as they ran through the lichyard and through the other ruins, but that was enough.
Lyanna had a perfect memory. But it was her word against the Queen's.
Lyanna's word was not enough to depose her and clear up the line of succession.
For that to happen she needed to go south.
a/n: this is cross-posted on ao3,but im coming back to this site cuz i fixed the issues i had with it when i left.
if you read you should see me in a crown: yeah this is the same Lyanna Dustin, except this time she has blue eyes and is grayromantic allosexual instead of aroace
to those who are new to this oc: lyanna is brandon stark's legitamate child with Barbrey -whom he legally married- but was declared a bastard after Hoster Tully forced Rickard Stark into declaring the marriage a sham. think of it as how Richard III managed to declare all his nieces and nephews by Edward V bastards born of an illegal marriage. William Dustin essentially adopted Lyanna and declared her his heir before he died.
