I own nothing

I just wanted to say Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all of you.

Catelyn looked over to where Robb stood transfixed by Joanna. This was a possible match her boy. She took Joanna's arm turning her to introduce her to her son.

"Allow me to introduce my son, Robb Stark heir to Winterfell," Catelyn introduced.

"A pleasure to meet you, my lord," Joanna said like a true queen. She paused looked over to her ladies maid and her lover/ guard. Catelyn eyed Aegon like he was a ghost. He had the same feature of Lyarra. Aegon hand rest on the handle of Dawn. He watched Joanna like a hawk. Robb took a hand kissing her knuckles. Joanna gave him a flirty smile. She quickly sent Aegon a glance. She loved teasing him with her playful flirts. "Allow me to introduce you to my ladies maid and my guard," Joanna said.

"Guard," Robb questioned.

"Well really sworn sword and shield as well personal guard. Ser Aeron Dayne, Ser Aeron Robb Stark, Lady Catelyn Stark. And this is Marleina Frey," Joanna explained.

Robb eyed Marleina up and down for a moment. She was very pretty. Her long golden hair was tied back neatly. She bowed deeply to them. She gave him a smile as she rose up. Robb took Joanna's arm leading her over to the rest of his siblings. Joanna leaned closer to him as the wind cut through her traveling gown.

"The North, from what I've seen, is beautiful," Joanna said.

"Not as beautiful as you are," Robb flirted.

Joanna giggled at that and at the fact that she could hear Aegon growling. She looked over her shoulder to see the look on his face. He looked like he wanted to kill Robb. She turned back in time to be introduced to all the Stark children bastards, including and their ward Theon Greyjoy.

Once in the crypts Ned and Robert walked in time with each other.

"Tell me about Jon Arryn," Ned asked.

"One minute he was fine and then it burned right through him, whatever it was…I love that man" Robert said.

"We both did"

"He never had to teach you much, but me? You remember me at sixteen. All I wanted to do was crack skulls and fuck girls. He showed me what was what" Robert commented.

"Aye," Ned laughed.

"Don't look at me like that. It's not his fault I didn't listen" Robert laughed.

They came to stop deep in the crypts. They were both laughing. Robert turned to look at Ned.

"I need you Ned; down at King's Landing not up here where you're no damn use to anybody. Lord Eddard Stark, I would name you Hand of the King." Robert stated.

Ned looked sideways for a moment in shock then dropped down to his knees.

"I'm not worthy of the honor" Ned stated.

"I'm not trying to honor you. I'm trying to get you to run my kingdom while I eat, drink, and whore my way to an early grave. Damn it, Ned, stand up…" Robert started. He motioned his hand tap Ned on the shoulder to get him to stand up. Ned rose to his feet. "You help me win the Iron Throne now help me keep the damn thing. We were meant to rule together. If your sister had lived we'd have been bound by blood. Well, it's not too late. I have a son, you have a daughter. We'll join our houses" Robert finished.

Robert turned went farther into the crypts. Ned quickly let the shock wear off then quickly followed him. When they were walking at the same time as Ned remembered that Robert had one elder child a girl, Joanna.

"What of Joanna," Ned asked.

"I cannot part with her just yet. I just got her back. Sorry, no man is good enough for her in my eyes. I have legitimized Lyarra as you asked and doing one better. I'll have Lyarra as ladies maid to Joanna. She will be the center of the court and will find a good husband," Robert told him.

Robert walked deeper into the crypts. Ned looked at Robert in shock. He never wanted Lyarra being forced to come to King's Landing. Robert had taken that away from.

They came to stop in front of Lyanna grave. Robert stepped forward placing a feather in Lyanna stone hand. Ned was still processing the information it was now all his call.

"Did you have to bury her in a place like this?" Robert asked. Ned looked down for a moment. "She should be on a hill somewhere with the sun and clouds above her." Robert continued

"She was my sister. This is where she belongs" Ned stated.

"She belonged with me. In my dreams, I kill him every night." Robert stated touch Lyanna's stone statue face.

"It's done; Your Grace. The Targaryens are gone."

"Not all of them," Robert said gravely.

Joanna was pinned up against a wall in her chambers by Aegon, as he dominated her with a kiss. Her hands crawled at his back. His hands were cupping her butt. She pulled away panting as he attacked her neck.

"Who do you belong to," Aegon growled into her neck.

Joanna shook her head telling him she was not to going to say it. He continued his attack on her neck. She bit back a moan. Finally, her hands pulled his head away from her neck. She looked into his eyes they were both panting.

"You, only you," Joanna told her.

Aegon pressed his lips back onto her in a passionate dominating kiss. Her hands were wrapped around his neck. His hands started to explore her body that covered in her gown. There were fire and a dragon possessive nature in his eyes.
Right at that moment, Marleina came into the room. She gasped in shock to see Joanna and Ser Aeron lock in a passionate embrace. She looked down. It was enough to wake them from the passionate kiss. They both looked at Marleina in horror. If they were found out any numerous things could happen.

"I should have guessed Anna," Marleina said finally.

"Leina you cannot tell anyone," Joanna said

"As if I would it to romantic, like the stories and songs a knight falls for a princess," Marleina laughed.

Aegon moved to kiss the top of Joanna's head. She gazed up at him lovingly as he moved forward bow right before he was out of the room. He took up guarding the door. As the door shut Marleina let out a squeal.

"Anna let's get you ready for the feast. Your Mother her grace wants you to look every bit the southern princess," Marleina told her.

"Then we must," Joanna laughed.

Marleina pushed Joanna behind the dressing divider. She started to help her undress. She pulled out a mostly purple gown. It had scooped neckline with golden long under sleeves. The outer sleeves of were a sheer dark purple. They had beaded bands above her elbows before the fabric belled to the ground. The sheer dark purple silk met under her breast was a gem cover belt rested. Above the sheer dark purple fabric were gold stag and lion sewn on it with gold beads. The rest of the gown was made a purple satin gown.

"I had a talk with Lyarra," Marleina told her.

"Lord Stark bastard daughter," Joanna asked.

"Yes, it seems that she is to be your new ladies maid," Marleina told her.

"She cannot replace you, Leina you know that," Joanna reassured her.

Marleina closed the back of the gown. She smiled at Joanna's sweet nature. They moved over to her dressing table to start Joanna's hair. She started to work on Joanna's hair. Until Joanna's hair was in a halo of braids and twist with some of her long hair down in loose curls.

"You look like a true queen," Marleina commented.

"But I will never be queen Leina," Joanna said.

"You will, I know you will I don't know how but I do know that you will be queen in my bones. You will a better queen than Joffery ever will be," Marleina laughed at the end.

Joanna laughed with Marleina. They met eyes through the mirror. Joanna rose walking over to where mead was resting to refresh them from their journey. She poured herself a glass. She slipped on it. She thought more about Lyarra Stark she guessed was her name now. She did have the same silvery hair and purple eyes as Aegon. Part of her wondered if she was a Targaryen too.

"I'll like to speak to Lyarra," Joanna told Marleina.

Marleina nodded her head. She bowed before she left to get Lyarra for her mistress. Joanna walked over to fireplace seating in a chair by it. Her hand stroked Meraxes fur.

Jon was in Lyarra rooms. She was dressed in finer clothes than normal. He watched his twin with fascination. She looked more like a true lady than a bastard child. Not that Ned ever treated them wrong but Catelyn did not care for either of them.

"What this I hear about you going south?" Jon asked.

"What father told me is I am going to be a ladies maid to Princess Joanna," Lyarra told him.

"With beauty like hers she likely a brat I shocked father agreed to it," Jon said.

"You were taken with her when she rode in on her black stallion," Lyarra laughed at Jon. Jon sank into her bed. Starr, snow white direwolf pup, was lying by the fire. Lyarra walked over rubbing her ears. "From what Marleina has told me, she is nothing like that. She is truly Robert's daughter a wild doe with a lion beauty. She will protect me, Jon. Besides with you at the Wall I will be alone," Lyarra told him.

"Who told you," Jon started.

"Father," Lyarra told him. Jon looked at her as he thought about what her life would be like if she stayed here. She was right. "Besides, I am a Stark now. Father told me that Robert agreed. The last name Stark will get you nowhere at the Wall," Lyarra told him.

"You are right it won't. But you will have a better life with it. It doesn't mean I have to like it," Jon said.

"Jon," Lyarra said shocked.

A knock sounded at the door. Jon walked over opening the door. He was shocked to Marleina standing there. Lyarra walked over looking at Marleina.
"Marleina what can I do for you," Lyarra asked.

"Joanna would like to speak with you," Marleina told her.

Jon and Lyarra exchanged looks. They were shocked that Marleina had referred to the princess by given name without any fancy titles. From what they had seen of Joffery and the Queen they were all about their titles. Before, Lyarra moved forward walking with Marleina towards Joanna's chambers.

Lyarra eyes landed on Ser Aeron standing at Joanna's door. She wondered what warranted her to need a personal guard. Marleina smiled at him with knowing smile. Aegon looked at Lyarra knowing that she could blow his cover if one wrong thing was said.

"Ser Aeron it seems we shared a family," Lyarra told him.

"We do?" Aegon questioned not knowing what she was talking about.

"I am Ashara daughter," Lyarra told him.

"Making you my third cousin," Aegon lied automatically. He smiled at Lyarra. He looked behind him to the door. "We will talk more I'm sure Lady Lyarra. Joanna is expecting you," Aegon finished opening the door.

Lyarra stepped inside she spied Joanna sitting by the fire with her lion by her feet. She was drinking some mead. She looked over to Lyarra as the door opened. Her blue-green eyes met Lyarra purple eyes. She motioned for her to take a seat next to her.

"Lady Lyarra," Joanna greeted.

"Your Grace," Lyarra started.

"None of that, you can call me Anna or Joanna. I told you are to be my newest lady maid," Joanna said.

"I am," Lyarra answered.

Meraxes came over to Lyarra wanting her attention. Lyarra pet the lion head. She was shocked at how laid back Joanna seemed.

"That is Meraxes," Joanna told her.

"If it agreeable to you I have a direwolf pup name Starr I would like to bring her with me," Lyarra told her.

"A Stark without their direwolf that will never happen on my watch," Joanna told her.

"If this too forward please forgive, but are you attracted to my brothers," Lyarra asked.

"Only if you answer my question," Joanna started. Lyarra nodded her head. Joanna smiled. She truly wondered if Lyarra was Targaryen. "No, it was a game between my guard and me. I made a vow to only love my husband. And my father will pick him. I sure in due time I will marry. I not saying your brothers are not attractive. Any woman would be lucky to have them. My question to you do you know who your parents are," Joanna asked.

"Yes Joanna, I am the bastard daughter of Ashara Dayne and Lord Brandon Stark. Jon is my twin but he doesn't know. I guess it would hurt Lady Catelyn more to know that Brandon betrayed his promise to her and her image of him than for us be Lord Eddard children," Lyarra told her.

Joanna knew she needed to talk to Aegon soon. Lyarra being an actual Dayne was dangerous. She looked over to Lyarra.

"You look sad," Joanna told her.

"My twin is going to wall soon," Lyarra told her.

"And you don't want to be parted from him just yet," Joanna questioned. She would love to see more of the kingdom. Also, that only placed that last known Targaryen in Westeros was Maester Aemon was. It would a touching reunion for Aegon to be able to talk to Aemon. "What if I told you I would like to see the Wall? I plan to head North with my Uncle Tyrion to see it. Meaning you would be coming with me," Joanna told her.
