"Tell me, my lady, do you wish to wed Robert Baratheon?" She wrinkled her nose. "No. Never" The people around the scene whispered to one another, delighted in Robert's humiliation. And he thought, if he could not do things silently and diplomatically, then he would be loud and take what he wanted. Like the Conquerors. "Aegon the Conqueror, rider of Balerion, who was very much like my Bantis" that was a lie, they were simply both black "Wed once for duty and once for love. I plan on doing the same" Some of the people raised and complained. "That is an afront to the Seven!" One of the Hightowers yelled. "The Targaryens are not like any other men!" A Blackwood shouted back. "Abomination!" "Monstrous!" "Maegor rode Balerion too!" That did it for him. He was not Maegor, and he will never be. The mere comparison angered him. "ENOUGH" his father screamed "BURN THEM, BURN THEM ALL. BURN THEM" Thank you father, you do not know how helpful you can be at times. The people were scared, scared that he would listen to his father, for he had the dragon. In the distance, Bantis roared to silence the screams, whispers and everything in between. His mother and Elia hugged each other, Lyanna gripped his arm frightened more for the crowd than the dragon.  "Ser Gerold take my father to his chambers" Despite his loyalty, there was no need to tell him twice. Then again, the threat of Bantis hang heavy on the air. Rather easily, Gerold took his father upstairs, even though he fought against it. But Aerys had no strength as of late, what with not eating and not sleeping. Soon, everyone returned to their previous seats, helped by the Whent's soldiers and the Kingsguard. And it was as if he was the King. As if they were already his subjects. "If the Prince of Dragonstone means to wed my sister, he has my blessing" Brandon Stark said. "Brandon!" Eddard Stark complained "He is wed already" "Like Aegon the Conqueror was" the eldest Stark shrugged "Targaryens have queer customs" To everyone's surprise, his mother, Queen Rhaella, stepped forward. "The Doctrine of Exceptionalism is clear in this. The gods made us in a certain way different from that of what it made you. In Old Valyria they wed brother to sister, aunt to nephew and they took various wives or husbands" His mother did not usually speak, but that was not because she misliked it, rather because his father did. "The Doctrine does not say that polygamy is allowed, Your Grace" Lord Hosted Tully spoke for the first time that he could hear "It has neve been stated" "It has also not been stated otherwise, has it not? My son is simply the first one brave enough to decided this. To join himself in marriage with the daughters of the two most distant Kingdoms of our Realm"

Lyanna's face this whole scene btw.

She would have been overjoyed upon seeing her eldest son, her first-born, there in that windswept room where a turf fire burned in a blackened hearth. He was sitting at a large table, piles of papers and maps in front of him, and he seemed deeply engrossed in his conversation with Roose Bolton and the Greatjon, and him. At first she did not see him, only the white wolf with blood-red eyes she saw, laying at his feet, while he watched the flames, silently, but hearing everything Robb and the lords said. She would have been overjoyed, and she was, for a second, but that joy soon died when she recognized her husband's bastard.  Jon Snow. Her heart froze when the bastard turned around, when the lords, one by one, began to quieten seeing her there, and saw her. For the first time, in his life, Jon Snow regarded her with the same coldness she did him. And that, that shook her to her core. He had never done so before. Always adverting his gaze respectfully, as he ought to, but not anymore. Whatever happened at the Wall to this boy? "Mother?" Robb had raised his head from the maps and papers and was now staring at her, voice almost broken by the emotion. Catelyn wished with all her heart to run to him, to hug him tightly and kiss his forehead, to keep him safe by her side...but she did not dare. Not in front of the lords. Not in front of him. "What is he doing here, Robb?" Catelyn demanded to know, voice as hard as the bastard's grey eyes "Should he not be at the Wall? Or has he broken his oath?" Then the bastard turned fully, and he, like Robb, had grown in the year, but now Jon Snow stood taller than his half-brother and somehow more fearsome

Some were thirsty for battle, for blood, Lannister blood. Aemon could understand that want from the older warriors, who had fought beside Lord Stark during the Rebellions, but he found it harder to understand the younger ones. Winters were harsh, but that was nothing compared to a war. Aemon knew that, he did not know why, but he knew. They did not know true blood, yet they were thirsty for it. And am I not? The ink dripped onto the parchment, just for a second before he started writing. It was not the time to think of that. They would soon leave, and he could not be distracted. Distraction could get him killed.

"That was quite something" she said, a slight smile on her lips. "I apologize. You should not have had to see that" Lyanna rolled her eyes in a rather playful manner. "I am not some sheltered maiden, My Prince. I have seen my father behead traitors, I have hunted with my brothers. I am no stranger to blood" Rhaegar twirled her around, smiling. "But you are a stranger to dragonfire. Unlike me. I have it in my blood, Lyanna" "As I do ice, Rhaegar" she gulped, face turning serious "You swore I would not have to wed him. Did you mean that?"
