Cregan Stark had the men dock the boats as soon as they arrived at the island of DragonStone. A group of people was waiting for him and his men and he recognised most of them were Targaryens due to their bright hair. Only a few had dark hair but he assumed they were the princes Jacaerys and Lucerys Velaryon, sons of the queen Rhaenyra.

At the front was a man in dark clothes with a black sword at his side, prince Daemon, who was standing by the two princes and two other young girls with white hair, one of which was holding a dark form which looked like a baby dragon. An older woman in red stood with her head held high at the other side of the prince Daemon.

Coming from behind the group were two other women. One was the queen as he could see clearly from the crown on her silver tresses. The other was a young woman in a blue dress which sometimes shined silver because of what looked like metal decorations along it. She was carrying a small bundle of white which Cregan assumed was a baby.

The ramp was lowered from the ship and he walked down it with confident strides, his men following behind.

As soon as Cregan got down from the ramp completely, he was welcomed by the most famous royal family in the Seven Kingdoms. Now that he was closer up, he could get a better look at everyone's faces.

"Lord Stark" Rhaenyra nodded her head to the man as he bowed his head down to her.

"Queen Rhaenyra" Cregan shrugged off the fur coat he was wearing due to how much warmer the climate was her than in the North "The North has come to honour their vows made to your father and, in turn, to you"

"Thank you for your support. Come" rhaneyra turned to the rest of the people that were there and begun to introduce them.

"This is my husband Daemon and my sons, prince Jacaerys and prince Lucerys" she motioned to the three males by her side. The silver haired older man smirked darkly at the northerner and the two younge men with dark hair nodded their heads respectfully, an action which the Stark returned "This are my husband's daughters, Baela and Rhaena" she signalled to the two girls standing at each prince's side. They had dark skin and white hair, one in loose curls and the other in a tight dreadlocks to keep it in place "And these are my aunt princess Rhaenys and lady Aurora Belgrave"

The last two women to be introduced were; the older woman dressed in red with a high hair due which made her silver hair fall in a straight curtain down her back, and the woman in blue who had come out with the queen.

"My ladies" Cregan bowed his head to them and looked at them up from under his lashes.

His gaze met the two toned eyes of the lady Aurora Belgrave. She was indeed a beauty if he had ever seen one. She smiled politely at him and then lowered her eyes back down to the bundle she was holding.

Aurora had to hide the light blush that came up her neck to her cheeks and ears when her eyes crossed with the man from the North, waving it off as embarrassment as the other northerners also stared at the group.

Instead she decided to pay more attention to the baby who was starting to fuss while Rhaenyra told the men from the North that they could bring their bags into the castle and she ordered the servants to help them carry their things to the guest wing of the castle.

Everyone else followed beings the queen and lord Stark as Rhaenyra led him inside for dinner.

Yet another lone dinner night for the lord Hand as he sat in the dining room. Alicent's watched her father from the door, leaning onto the frame of it. She shook her head, the maid that had been following her appearing worried for her.

Everyone in the palace had noticed how the previous queen was getting less and less sleep every night. Under her eyes the skin had darkened to nearly black and her auburn hair was growing more grey hairs due to an unexplained stress which had her maids dying it to keep it looking as red as it was before.

She had lost weight due to not being able to keep down any dish she had brought up to her room which made her dresses hang loosely from her shoulders. The only time she appeared content was when she was with her youngest son.

Alicent sighed and went to lock herself back in her quarters where her son was resting.

"What am I going to do now?" she whispered to the man sleeping on their bed.

She was tired of everything, she had lost three of her children already and her father was of no help.

"Aurora, you are coming down to dinner right?" Rhaenys asked her as she accompanied Aurora to the room where the new cradle for Visenya had been placed.

"Of course I will" no way was she missing out on the meeting between the king of the North and the queen of the Iron Throne "Just give me a moment to lay the princess down"

Aurora carefully laid the baby on her back in the new cradle and covered her with the snowy white blankets. Rhaenys called for a maid to watch over the child and then presented her arm to Aurora.

The two women walked down to the dining room where most of the people had already been seated. Baela and Rhaena moved the chair in between them back with smiles for Aurora to sit down with them and Rhaenys took her place at Baela' s side. The boys were facing the women with Lucerys in front of Rhaena and Jacaerys in front of Baela. Daemon was seated right across from his cousin Rhaenys so the only two people remaining would be seating at the heads of the table.

Cregan Stark came in first, seating himself at the head of the table close to Aurora. The queen Rhaenyra then followed inside and sat by her husband and aunt.

"Let us dine" Daemon raised his arm to motion for the servants to bring in the food.

The plates came in together and in large numbers being placed down on the table. Dishes of different meat and fish, vegetable and even dried fruits with fresh baked bread.

Everyone waited for the queen to take the first bite as she served herself, and then everyone joined in.
