Everyone watched as their Queen walked towards her seat with the Targaryen crown upon her head. Her husband's face was red with fury as he glared at her while her children Aemond and Rhaena smiled at their mother proudly as they sat straighter no longer trying to hide their hair from view and attention.

All eyes stayed on the Queen as she sat down into the seat beside the King who could not take is fury filled eyes from his wife who never even looked in his direction once. After a long silence that lasts almost five minutes as everyone continued to stare at their Queen, Johanna sighs as she waves for the knights to come forwards to be presented to the Royal Box.

Sansa stares at her future mother by law in awe, she was in admiration of the Queen who was beautiful with a sense of self she, Sansa could only dream of having. What Sansa did not realise was that it was all a mask. 

The Queen was not stoic, she had fears that almost crippled her several times a week if not day. She was only now after almost 14 years coming back into her body with the conviction the former Targaryen Princess had been known for.

Sansa watches as the Lady Arryn walks to the Queen's side and sits down beside her in a chair Johanna has brought forwards from where it was sitting behind her. It was not common for Ladies to sit beside their Queen but Johanna was becoming more confident now she knew Daemon was within a two day distance from her.

"My Queen," Lady Arryn greets the Queen who smiles back at her as she sits down into the chair after they touch hands which no one but Sansa sees. Sansa's eyes widen when Lady Tyrin turns to look at the Stark girl and smiles before leaning to whisper into the Queen's ear as Sansa blushes as she looks down at her lap.

The Queen and the Lady Arryn whisper to each other before looking at the knights as the crowd goes silent as they watch a mystery knight ride forwards on a black war horse, but that was not what stood out about the knight.

What stood out was that the knight was dressed in the jousting armour that Rhaegar Targaryen wore when he crowed Lyanna Stark the Queen of Love and Beauty over his own wife.

Johanna glances at Robert who is silently seething before looking over at Ned Stark who was sitting with a straight back as he stared at the knight. On closer inspection of the knight Johanna can see that it is not Rhaegar's armour even though it is very similar, but the steel itself is dark, the rubies are black not red and the helmet was a dragon with wings that were not flat against the knight's head like Rhaegar's had been.

"Who is that?" Robert glares at his wife who looks back at him with genuine shock and alarm in her eyes that tells the King his wife had nothing to do with this but he continues to glare as Johanna shakes her head as she looks back at the knight.

"I know no more that you," Johanna says as she turns to look at Lady Tyrin who looks back at her with amusement in her eyes. Johanna's eyes widen when she examines the Lady and realises this is her doing.

As the Queen looks at her Lady, amusement slowly taking over the shock in her eyes the crowd that had been whispering to each other falls silent as the voice of the knight rings out, silencing the crowd once more.

"I wish to ask the favour of the Queen Johanna of House Targaryen."
