WE LIGHT THE WAY
CHAPTER EIGHT
29th of the 1st moon of 116AC◈◆◈◆◈◆◈◆◈
Two weeks have passed since Maegor and Rhaenyra's affair. And with it, the year of 115 AC. King Viserys, Maegor's uncle, exiled Daemon once again, but allowed Maegor to live in the Red Keep and continue with his engagement to Lyanna Stark. The King even allowed Maegor to reclaim his place as a member in the City Watch of King's Landing.
Early in the morning, the King and Princess departed for High Tide to settle the Princess and Laenor's marriage arrangements.
And Maegor seems to be in a similar position, for his betrothed arrives today at the Red Keep.
The King assigned a Kingsguard to Maegor's protection much to Maegor's annoyance for he knows he can protect himself. The one chosen was Ser Rickard Thorne.A knock is heard outside of Maegor's chambers door.
"Enter." Maegor says, and Ser Rickard appears at the entrance of his room.
"My Prince, the Lady Lyanna should be almost here. You should probably go to the gates to receive her." Ser Rickard says.
"Thank you, Ser Rickard. I will be right out." Maegor says, getting up as Ser Rickard closes the door. Maegor puts down his book and straightens his tunic, putting on his belt where his dagger and sword hang and then leaving his chambers.Waiting by the Keep's gates with Ser Rickard behind him, Maegor watches as a royal carriage arrives with guarded by four members of the Targaryen household guard and two soldiers wearing armor of the House Stark.
Maegor approaches the carriage. The door opens and out of it exits a blonde maiden and after her another woman. Long brown hair and greyish-green eyes were the features to define this lady, for sure she must be a Stark.
"Lady Lyanna Stark. I am Prince Maegor Targaryen, it is a pleasure to have you here at the Red Keep." he says, grabbing her hand and kissing it.
"It's an honor, my Prince." she says, courtly making a bow.
"Please, call me Maegor." he says.
"Then, please, in exchange, call me Lyanna." she says.
"All right, then, lady Lyanna. Would you care for a tour of the Red Keep?" Maegor asks.
"I would be delighted." she says. He extends his arm, and she takes it. They approach Ser Rickard.
"Ser Rickard, see to it that the Stark men and maiden are given proper care and rooms." Maegor says.
"Yes, my Prince." Ser Rickard says. Maegor and Lyanna proceed."When will your family arrive?" Maegor asks his betrothed.
"Oh, they will arrive some days before the wedding ceremonies." Lyanna shares.
"I am glad they can be present at the celebrations. The King is planning huge feasts and tournaments for the weddings I hear. I hope you like feasts." Maegor says.
"I assume they are more common here at the capital than in the North. But I enjoy them. At least the ones set at Winterfell." Lyanna says. Maegor sees the Queen.
