Book I
A Targaryen Princess and a Strong Lord meet one day and are completely awed by each other but find that there are challenges in the way before they can just be together
RAEWYN WAS BEING DRESSED THINKING ABOUT WHAT THEY NEEDED TO DO when Rhaenyra barged in, "ah there you are."
"Nyra, oh gods," Rae put her hand on her chest, "you know what if one of us is indecent next time you barge in?"
"We've changed in front of each other before," Rhaenyra points out.
Raewyn realizes that, "and what about Harwin?"
"Fair, but that's what I came here to talk about," Rhaenyra said.
"Okay, just let her finish getting me dressed," she told her.
Amaia finished dressing her:

"Black, that's new for you," Rhaenyra comments.
Raewyn just nods, "well after what happened I am going all dragon."
"Wait, what happened?" Rhaenyra asked.
Raewyn sat down at the table as Rhaenyra sat down too, "someone assaulted Ariella in the gardens, and I have a very hard time believing she doesn't know who attacked her, but she won't say a name for the life of her... I don't know what to do, Nyra, she's my baby. I have to protect my baby."
Rhaenyra nods, "you are right, that's why I'm leaving with my family back to Dragon Stone," she confesses.
Raewyn's eyes widen, "what?"
"I know you're only here by request of mine, but I can't be here anymore, they mock me in the halls and make me a spectacle, I leave them to it," Rhaenyra shook her head, "Leanor agrees and we want to do what's best for our sons."
Raewyn thought for a moment if Rhaenyra is leaving... Why are they staying?
RHAENYRA HAD LEFT KINGSLANDING AND WITH THAT IT WAS TIME for them to take their leave back to Harrenhal. Especially since Ariella's attack. Harwin had a hard time believing she didn't know who attacked who but she wasn't giving up a name. So the Strong family is all packing.
Ariella stood in her chambers packing trying not to think so much as she felt a tear run down her face, she wiped fast, and that's when someone knocked on her chamber door, "yes?"
"It's just me," Adya said as she came in.
"Oh, good morrow Adya," Ariella told her.
"Good morrow sister," Adya greeted back, she noticed how upset her older sister still was, "who was it?"
"What?"
"Ariella, if your scared, don't worry, I mean have seen father-" Adya tried to make her feel safer as she held her left arm.
Ariella just snapped back with, "well he's not YOUR father."
Adya felt a sting in her heart, she never met her real father but Harwin has tried to be there for her like a father her whole life, she just looked down.
