I walked down the hallways of the Kings Castles. I was ready for the hunt. It was around seven am and I was on my way to meet Jon, Storm was at my side.
"Ahh, Lyanna my dear. Good morning" I turned around to see the King and Queen Cersei.
"Uncle Rob, Thank you for the clothes by the way." I gestured to the white pants u wore with a brown leather jacket and some knee high brown leather boots. The Jacket tighed up down the middle and had green vine like patterns all over. The clothes I was wearing were very Dothraki. "I think I might have over heated in my Northen clothes out here."
"Where are you off at such early hours?" The Queen asked. They were both obviously just heading to breakfast.
"Jon and I are off hunting." I said gesturing to my bow and arrows.
"You hunt?" The king asked wide eyed. "Marvelous, maybe you could become King and Joffrey wear the gown." He chuckled and I smiled wider.
"That would make me very happy." I smirked and the queen looked livid.
"I won't allow this, a future Queen of Westros should not be hunting. It will make the realm look reckless." Cersei shaking her head.
"To be quite frank, your grace. I will not stop riding because i have become betrothed to Joffrey. Joffrey has no problem with it, he even asked me to show him how to shoot a bow." I said and she glared.
"I am your Queen and you will do as I say." She said calmly.
"Oh quite down Cersei. The girl like to hunt, so be it. She can go hunting if she wants. I might even join you sometime." He said and I smiled gratefully.
"I would love that," I said earnestly. "Well I will see you later, Uncle Rob. Your grace." I did a quick curtsy before walking in the Direction of the castles front doors.
"Here she is!" Jon exclaimed as I got there. "What took you so long?"
"I ran into the Royals. Cersei tried to tell me I wasn't to go hunting because its not a Lady thing to do." I rolled my eyes and he chuckled mounting his horse. I did the same.
"Ahh, a common mistake amoungst people. When will they learn that your not lady."
"I am to a lady, just a little different from other Ladies." I said as a few of the Kings Guard came out of the Castle in a rush.
"Hello lady Lyanna, Lord Jon." The guard greeted us. "We have been sent to accompy you two on your hunting trip." Said the guard.
"Oh father has no need to worry we'll be fine." Jon stated and we turned on our horses to leave, only to be stopped by Jaime lannister.
"Kings orders." He said climbing on his horse. "Seems he is concerned his favourite 'niece' might get impailed by something slightly more fatal than his son. An hunting spear for example. I laughed at his joke, much to his surprise of course.
"Oh, ok then. I guess we have no choice." I said and nodded at Jon, before setting off. "But with my shot Ser Jaime its more likely you'll be the one 'accidentally' impailed." I whipped back.
I guess the King slayer was joining us on a trip.

"That was amazing." Jon said as we came up to the castle gates. We had caught three dear and two hogs.
"Hey, what can I say? I'm a natural." I smirked.
"You have quite am amzing shot there Stark. I've never seen anything like it." Jaime said riding up next to us. The Guards behind him were towing a cart wiyh the animals on it. "Not even from my father and he is a master hunts man. You should join the Kings guard!"
"First of all Jaime, can I call you Jaime?"
He nodded smiling a little. "I hate death, it creeps me out. I can't even walk in the winter fell crypt without feeling nauseous. The only reason I hunt is because it is needed. "I'd rather kill the animal I eat quickly and painlessly as possible instead of some butcher dragging it out."
"You make a good point, Lyanna." He nodded.
"Secondly, a female knight? My lady mother would die of embarrassment. Plus I'm to be Queen, and I'm damn sure nothing will change King Robs mind about that. Plus I will make the realm look foolish or to use your sisters words 'Reckless'"
Jon chuckled from the side of me.
"You do not wish to be Queen?" Jaime asked surprised.
"Its not that finding out I'm to be the future Queen of the seven kingdoms is a bad thing. Its just that it has altered my life plans alot." I shrugged as we dismounted our horses.
"Life plans, what might they be?" He asked, he was probably just trying to make conversation.
"To travel across the Narrow sea and join a Dothraki tribe, not the most elagant of life styles but its what I wanted."
"I for one think that a lady with your beauty should not be hidden amoungst a a dothraki tribe." He flashed me a smile and laughed.
"Please Ser Jaime, there is no need to be a kiss arse." I smirked and heard Jon laugh. "I already like you." He laughed as we approached the castle. "Jon I must go and speak with the King. Organise a feast. I think we deserve at least that."
I walked off down the corridors towards the kings chambers.
I was greeted by another King's guard member.
"I wish to see the King." I said and he nodded.
"Of course my lady," he opened the door and I entered to see King Rob sat at his desk. The lannister squire pooring him a drink. "Your grace, Lady Lyanna Stark is here to see you."
-x-
After bagging a huge feast, in honour of the 'Joining of the house', I made my way to the castle gardens where I was supposed to be meeting Joffrey. I had no time to change clothes.
"Hello my lady," he greeted me taking my hand and kissing it. He was almost a head taller than me.
"Your grace." I said back, choosing not to curtsy.
"Lyanna, what is it your wearing?"he asked looking me up and down. "And you smell like dead cattle."
"Lovely Joffrey," I rolled my eyes. "Just what every girl wants to hear from her betrothed."
He laughed, "It is true, is it not?" He shook his head and I smiled. "Anyway, once we are married you will bathe everyday and only wear frocks. Like a lady."
"Once we are married, my Lord, the only thing that shall change is my name." I said and he looked at me strangely, so I looked away.
"You would defy me?" He asked, whem I looked back at him he did not look angry as I thought he would. Just confused.
"Everyday for the rest of my life, if you tried to change me." I said truthfully. He was silent for a moment.
"Its funny," he said laughing a little. "All the ladies in the kingdom want to be the future Queen of Westeros, even your little sister. Why don't you?" He asked quirking his eyebrow.
"Its not that I don't want it, Joffrey. I just wanted other things." I said looking down.
"What are they? I'll get them for you!" He said smiling.
"Its nothing you can give me. A queens place is her realm, not in Vas Dothraki." I chuckled humourlessly.
"You know what Lady Stark, I'm going to make you want to be queen." He smiled and I chuckled.
"Then I wish you good luck." I took his arm as we continued walking.
Maybe prince Joffrey isn't so bad after all.
