"Whenever you are ready Your grace" I spoke with a sly smile.

I pulled out my sword and prepared my stance. Robb gave me a smirk and got ready himself.

"How many times have I told you Rhae, if I get to call you by your name and not your title then you must do the same."

"Is that an order Your Grace" I was just messing with him trying to antagonize him.

"You just like getting under my skin, don't you? Is it really that fun?" I could tell I was starting to annoy him, but he knew I was joking.

"Kind of... is it working?" laughing as I asked the question, we hadn't started hitting swords, but we were circling each other trying to look for a weakness of any sort, I had spotted one. I don't think he had, I could see it on his face, he was getting anxious.

"You are very well trained arent you, I cant see one mistake in your movements."

"Well, when youve been fighting for your life as long as I have you pick up a few things. Ive been through more than most women or even man have, and I've still got the rest of my life to go"

I have no clue why I was telling him this, but I was and maybe it had something to do with the fact that I was trying to gain his trust or that I actually hadn't spoken to anyone about what I had gone through before arriving on the shores of Westeros. Its been quite hard but there is nothing I wouldn't do to get my families name back to what it was before my father became mad. I don't even know what my sister is doing I haven't seen or heard from her for a long time, I just hope Khal Drogo is treating her well.

We finally stuck swords and we are both pretty even with our skills, being able to keep up with the King of the North was amazing; he was a good swords man. Fighting with him was quite fun, different but in a good way, I had become quite use to fighting with the Dothraki style whereas the Northman fought very different.

He stuck at my sword, and I was able to block it but then swiped his leg under mine knocking me off my feet then going down for the winning kill, but I was able to quickly pull my dagger out, blocking his sword with my own and then pointing the dagger at his neck winning the fight.

"I didnt even notice you pull out the dagger. You are so quick, its quite impressive."

"Why thank you Robb, you arent bad yourself." It was a good fight. I had still been on the floor with our blades still drawn, I put my dagger away just as he offered his hand to help me up. Grabbing the offered hand, I was pulled up a little too hard as I ended up against his chest, we stood there for a little while staring into each others eyes, I got lost in his blue eyes that were staring straight into mine. It took a moment, but I took a step back releasing a breath I didn't realise I was still holding.

"I better go, come find me when your ready to speak to Jamie I would like to have a word with him and there is also something I would like to do."

"Of course, Ill come find you. Can I know what this plan is or do I have to wait to find out." I began walking away when he spoke, so I looked at him over my shoulder.

"Lets just say I want him and his usurper family to know that they have a Targaryen coming for them" I climbed atop my horse and galloped off with my bloodriders following behind me. I needed time to myself to think, Im here to become allies not get feelings for someone.

Robb's POV:

I watched Rhaenyra walk up to her horse and then ride away, I hadnt even noticed my mother come out of the woods surrounding us until I heard her speak.

"So it seems Queen Rhaenyra has wormed her way into your heart, I hope you are being smart about this."

"Mother... when did you get here?" I purposely avoided her question because I myself didn't even know what to think of the white haired beauty who seemed to genuine for this world, but I also noticed she wasn't like that around everyone else.

"Well I came to find you to ask how you were doing but then I saw that happen between you both I thought I would wait" I knew what she was talking about but I didn't even know how I was feeling about it myself how would I be able to voice that to someone else especially my mother.

"It was nothing mother, we were just training."

"Don't lie to me, I have eyes. I can clearly see the emotion you both hold for each other. May I suggest an idea?" Well this could either be something I really didn't want to hear or it could actually be a good suggestion, not that I really had the energy to speak about this at the moment but there is no stopping my mother so I had no choice.

"And what would this idea be?"

"Well considering you and the Targaryen queen seem to be getting along, well... maybe you should be thinking about joining the houses together and having one of the most powerful marriages in all of Westeros." It wasn't the worst idea I had to admit but asking that of Rhae is more then I can do, I knew she would never accept it anyways.

"I could never ask that of Rhaenyra, she only just lost her husband."

"I won't tell you what to do, you need to decide this yourself but please think about how this could benefit this family, how this could benefit this house." with that said she turns around and walks away leaving me to think for myself and I understand where she is coming from I just need to decide if I'm willing to ask that of her.
