"You send a raven the second you get to winterfell" Rhaenyra whispers hugging the young princess "Lord Stark shall greet you, when your arrive"

Aemma faked a smile as she nodded "I shall be fine and I shall write the minute I get there"

Rhaenyra takes a step away, Aemma would be leaving for winterfell within the hour. And by the time she reaches the north, Alicent would have found out that her eldest daughter was being wed off to the Stark lord. And she would not be getting anything out this marriage.

"Are you sure you do not wish for me to have Daemon accompany you or for me to walk you to the shop" Rhaenyra offers as Aemma shakes her head.

"I trust you Rhaenyra, I know lord Stark will be kind and welcoming"

Rhaenyra goes to answer but stops when her husband enters the room "Daemon"

Aemmas eyes go onto her uncle as he approaches her "Uncle"

"The ships ready" He mutters as he looks over at his wife "I shall take her to the ship"

Rhaenyra nods lightly sending one more smile to Aemma before her husband and sister left.

************************************

Aemma remained quiet as she trailed behind her uncle and when they arrived at the docks her eyes went to the sky, hoping to see her dragon. But she didn't, she hoped her dragon would follow behind. But the north was no place for a Targaryen let alone a dragon.

"He will follow, dragons follow their riders anywhere" She heard her uncle mutter as she looked down at him.

"Thank you uncle"

"If you do not wish to do this turn around and walk back to that castle, niece"

She hesitates to answer, but this was her chance to be truly free from her mother and her chance to prove she was loyal to only Rhaenyra "Uncle I am to wed lord Stark, I swore to Rhaenyra"

Daemon holds back a scoff, in truth he did not want to see the girl go. He had practically raised her with Rhaenyra. He was more of a father to her then his brother was "If he ever speaks to you the wrong way he'll have me to deal with"

"Send my love to my cousins" She whispers, picking the ends of her dress up as she walks onto the ship. She turned around once more, her eyes going onto her uncle, as the ship began to take off. There was one thing she was scared of and that was Cregan Stark himself.

As she knew he had sworn an oath to Rhaenyra, not her mother. Everyone hated the HIghtower queen and her offspring. And Aemma just so happened to be one.

************************************

"Lord Larys" Alicent greeted her fri-the lord. Her eyes stayed on him watching as he took a seat across from her "I did not know we were having tea today"

"My Queen I just wish to speak to you" Larys announces as his eyes trailed up and down the queen "About the young princess"

Alicent knew who he meant "My daughter is on dragonstone, visiting the princess Rhaenyra."

"I heard the princess Aemma was now the ward of Daemon and Rhaenyra"

"It is what is best, I must focus on the kings health"

"So you do not know yet, my queen"

"Know what my lord Strong"

"That the princess shall arrive at the north by nightfall to be greeted by her future lord husband"

Alicent's face dropped, her daughter was to wed. Her daughter was to be marry someone of Rhaenyras choice "That is unlikely"

"It would seem not my queen, I thought it was best for you to know"

"Ho-how do you know this, my lord Strong"

"I have my ways of being a loyal lord to my queen"

"You may go"

"My queen"

"I said you may go Lord Strong"

************************************

Aemma stood at the side of the shop as they got closer to Winterfell, it wouldn't take long for the ship to dock. She didn't know whether Attor had followed behind, she hoped and prayed he did.

As she had never been away from her dragon, not since the day he had hatched.

"Princess" She heard a voice as she turned her head to see one of the ladys who had came with her "The ship is do dock"

Aemma nods her head "I know"

"The lord of winterfell shall greet you the minute we step off the ship, you must act like yourself princess"

Aemma smiled softly, that was the one thing she knew how to do "Thank my lady"

"Of course princess we all just want what is best for you"

************************************

Cregan made his way to the dock with some other men, he had been told the princesses ship had been spotted.

The moon had begun to rise as he reached the dock, he thanked the gods that it was nightfall. All he had to do was greet the princess then escort her to her rooms.

His eyes landed on the ship, all he had to do was wait for the Targaryen girl then greet her.

When Aemma finally walked down the steps she held the ends of her dress, some ladys followed behind her.

She had not turned to look at him yet. When she reached the dock she let go of the ends of her dress and finally saw him.

She watched him bow her head as he walked over "Princess"

"Lord Stark"

An- They've met
