THE NOBLE HOUSE OF TYRELL were marching up north. North to Winterfell. For the past 4 moons, Mace Tyrell and Eddard Stark have been talking about bringing their two families together. For most people in Highgarden, this was a joyous news but also deeply saddening. For this will be the last they will hear of the little flower of Highgarden.

━━━━━━━

The carriage rocked gently as images of green pass by. "Grandmother? Why are we going to winterfell?" I asked for about the 11th time today. I could see her getting slightly annoyed at my persisting nature.

"Your father and I have some business to do with Lord Stark" she firmly spoke. I nodded and sat down next to my elder sister, Margaery.

"Why does Margaery and I have to come then?" I was confused. If this trip was about business, then why was my sister and I coming? Surely we wouldn't be needed there. Grandmother Olenna sighed.

"Because this trip to the north is very important and life changing to our family" Her face fell slightly. This was all so confusing. I turned to Margaery as she smiled down to me.

"Sister, listen to grandmother. It's true what she's saying. It will really change our lives" she smiled sadly as she tucked a stray hair behind my ears. I looked at her confused but quickly let it go. I shivered as I began to feel the harsh coldness of the north. I grabbed my cloak and wrapped it around myself before laying my head on Margaery's lap.

"How much longer until we get there?" I asked yawning. I could feel my sisters fingers running through my short hair as i stare at grandmother.

"Just a couple more hours. Sleep. I'll wake you up when we get there little rose" she cooed. I nodded and closed my eyes falling into a slumber.

━━━━━━━

"Lyliana, wake up darling" I hear Grandmother's voice. I slowly opened my blue eyes. I pulled myself off of my sisters lap and stretched out my arms.

"Are we at winterfell?" I asked rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. Grandmother smiled.

"Why don't you go look out the window" I gasped and quickly sat up. I moved towards the window and opened it. I stared in awe as I see snow falling from the sky. Being from Highgarden, I've never seen snow until today. And it looks beautiful. It was freezing cold but I was to amazed to care. I looked ahead and I see a dark castle coming closer. I pulled my head back in and took a seat. A few minutes later, I feel our carriage stop to a halt. Grandmother turned to face my smiling form. She tucked a lone strand behind my ear.

"Now darling, I want you to behave. Meaning I want you to act like a lady. No archery while we are here" I groaned silently but nodded in agreement. I knew not to go against her wishes or else there will be consequences.

"Yes grandmother" I smiled but she still looked unsure. Thankfully she let go of the issue. Soon the door to our carriage opened and in came the harsh winds of the north. I pulled my coat tighter around me. The servants stepped out first, followed by our handmaidens. Grandmother stepped out, then Margaery and finally me. We three stood by fathers side as he spoke to Lord Eddard. I took this time to scan the house of Stark.
Lord Stark was a tall man with dark hair. He wore an expressionless face but I could see the kindness in his eyes. Beside him was his wife, Lady Catelyn. She, like her husband is tall but still shorter than Ned. She had red hair and a stern yet pretty face. Beside her stood a boy, a little younger than I.
On the other side of Ned stood his eldest.
Robb was a handsome man with dark hair and bright blue eyes. Our eyes met and he gave me a courteous smile in which i gladly returned.
Beside Robb was Sansa. Just like her mother, she looked. Red hair and a stern yet pretty face. Beside her stood a girl around my age with pale skin and dark brown hair and eyes to match. Finally beside her stood a boy. He was short but not as short as her. He had long brown hair that slightly covered his eyes. I could see him blowing his hair out of his face but sighed in defeat as he realized that he could do nothing with his hair. I giggled at this which caused his eyes to turn to me. I quickly looked away and began to play with the seams of my coat. It wasn't until father spoke up that I stopped playing.

"Let me introduce my children" he ushered us forward. My elder brother, Loras stood next to father. Next was Margaery who stood next to Loras. Then finally there was me.

"This is my Loras, my heir" he gestured to Loras. Loras bowed his head and as he got up, smiled brightly. Father then walked over to Margaery

"My eldest daughter, Margaery" she curtsied and smirked slightly as she stood up once again. I could see Robb and two other boys behind him eyeing my sister down. Who could refuse her looks? She was the prettiest lady I've ever seen. Even going beyond, being names the most beautiful lady in all of the seven kingdoms. Then there was me.
Father walked behind me and placed a hand on either side of my shoulders.

"This is my youngest, Lylian" I curtsied down, just like how septa taught me. I stood back up and smiled.
After our introductions, my siblings and I were all escorted to our rooms. I had my handmaidens set up all my clothing and personal belongings. My room was quite different then my personal chambers at home. My chambers here was dark and cold

"I'm bored" I announced. I dramatically fell on my bed and I hear my handmaidens lagging quietly to themselves.

"Why don't you go out? Explore the castle for a while." I hear my maiden, Nia, speak up. I shot up from my bed with a huge smile on my face.

"You're right. Why didn't I think of that?" I started walking out the room until I heard Nia call me back.

"Just be back before the feast, Milady" I nodded and began my trip around the castle.
