Ned looks around as his wife walks into their chambers as she lets out a large sigh not noticing the shadow of a child in the hallway as the Lady of the castle closes the door slightly.

"What is wrong?" Ned asks his wife as she sits down in front of the fire.

"The Queen does not wish her children to be far from her. Her Targaryen children she does not seem to care about her children with the King. Her Targaryen children are to be in the same hallway as her, and her hallway is now full of her own personal guard. Targaryen soldiers everywhere, thirty of them! Or there and about, the guards we had placed there are no longer there."

Ned chuckles as Catelyn pauses for breath before he frowns thinking over her words "I believe that her terror of not having her children close steams from the time of war."

"But that is over now."

"But not for her," Ned pauses before continuing when he sees the confused look on his wife's face "I remember when I found her in the Red Keep, dressed in her nightclothes as she had just had her twins Aemond and Rhaena, she was covered in sweat and blood as her children were screaming and crying..." 

Catelyn frowns as Ned trails off shaking his head at the image "Her brother was there silent as he stared at the dead King, her twins were screaming... I doubt if she has ever left that room. She also was the one who found Elia Martell and her children after the Mountain had finished with them."

A silent sob is what draws Ned out of his memories as he looks at his wife frowning as he eyes are drawn to the door as something moves outside their chamber.

"I did not know" Catelyn says after pulling herself together as she looks at her husband who looks back at her. "But why is she not like that with the King's children?"

"They were not there with her I suppose. And they are not the children of her great love, you know the songs that were sung about the Queen and Prince Daemon." Ned sighs "They are the last reminders she has of him."

Catelyn nods as she bows her head slightly as she plays with the rings on her fingers before looking up at her husband who is frowning into the fire in front of them.

"I have judged her too harshly"

"Most do."

Johanna looks around as Lady Tyrin and Lady Daena enter her chambers after they had taken her children into their own chamber, seeing them without her children makes her stand nervously as worry takes over her eyes.

"They are with Septa Alysanne, Lord Strong, Lady Hightower and Ser Arthur." Lady Tyrin quickly soothes her Queen which makes Johanna let out a sigh of relief.

"Lady Daena you are to go to Dragonstone with Lord Strong, Septa Alysanne and Ser Arthur to guard and guide my children with the help of the Lady Saera Targaryen." Johanna tells her lady who bows her head.

"Of course, my Queen. It would be an honour."

"It is not an honour it is a duty. We are shaping the coming generation of Targaryens and they must not cower in fear. They are dragons."

"I will make sure of it my Queen."

Johanna nods pleased as she turns to Lady Tyrin who bows her head with a slight bend of the knees.

"You and Lady Hightower are to go with them until Dragonstone. Lord Hightower will remain by my side until then."

"I do not like the idea of you being without one of us my Queen" Lady Arryn tells the Queen who smiles faintly at her words.

"My children are more important than myself. Now the King is to arrive soon for is way, help me prepare, I have something I want from him."

With a smile Lady Tyrin and Lady Daena step forwards and help their Queen change from her heavy dress to a lighter night dress which Robert preferred. 

"My children with the King?"

"They are becoming fast friends with Lord Stark's children. The Princess with Lady Sansa and Prince Cassian with the heir to Winterfell."

"Prince Tommen?"

Johanna looks at Lady Tyrin and Lady Daena who bow their heads slightly which makes Johanna sigh as she looks forwards again.

"Send him to my dragons. They will protect him."

"Yes my Queen."

"Should they question it say it is by my order. He and Aemond shall be friends."
