The Stormsinger, Blackwater Bay
123 AC
Nine year olde Laura Baratheon was nervous. Her father had sent her with three guards to Dragonstone, to foster with House Targaryen.
And to meet her betrothed, Aemon Targaryen. She knew him from court functions: kind, smart, clever, and polite.
"There it is." her sworn shield, Ser Cameron Selmy, said. He was like a second father to the young Baratheon, and while old enough to be her father, the finest warrior in the Stormlands. "You'll be Princess of that with when the Realm's Delight becomes Queen and Prince Aemon, the Prince of Dragonstone."
"This doesn't feel real. Why chose me, over Cassandra and Maris?" Laura asked. Cassandra was the eldest of the Five Storms, and Maris her older twin.
"You're the most loved of your sisters, and your father's favorite." Ser Cameron said. "Be yourself, Laura, and they'll love you."
Laura nodded, nervously.
Dragonstone Castle, Dragonstone Island
123 AC
Princess Rhaenyra and Prince Laenor welcomed her warmly but Princess Laela and Prince Daemon were very intimidating in Laura's opinion.
Prince Aemon gave her a tour of the castle and made her feel welcomed. He was her age, only three months her elder.
His siblings were kind and courteous... but his cousins.
Prince Aelyx barely paid attention to her, but Princess Shaera was kind. Princesses Baela, Rhaena, and Alyssia reminded her of her younger sisters, Ellyn and Floris.
Maybe this wouldn't be too bad.
That is today's chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it!
