As my name day were beginning to come to an end my grandparents sat at either sides of my bed holding me tight in their arms not wanting to ever let me go. "Lovie remember when we first brought you home?" Nany asked turning to face me as I just held her hand in mine enjoying this pleasant moment.

"Of course. I awoke in your arms in a strange place full of light blue tapestry and scary portraits. Remember the one of uncle Tomsberg, I was so afraid you would know it was my fault that his painting was ruined after I had snicked in Sami that stormy night. Oh the day you found out." I laughed crying to cover it up with my left had.

"You deserved to clean the great hall that summer. Not because you're dragon sheared it to pieces but because you lied about it." Nany tickled me as I screamed for help while Grand Grand just rolled his eyes with a smile I hadn't seen in a long time.

"Leave her alone wife of mine. She was just 10 name days old. What do you expect from the while child we were raising." Grand Grand was right I was  trouble as a kid sneaking off for late night flights or even just hiding away in the castle as they would send all the royal guard to find me. Those were the moments I would miss the most.

"I am going to miss home..." I sad saddened by the though that in a few moments I would be the wife of Jace, and that Driftmark would no longer be considered my forever home.

"My little mermaid... Driftmark will always remain your home. You are my heir even if you are some boys and wife. You have sea water in your veins because you are our child." Grand Grand made me feel better with his comforting words as he kissed the top of my head. I knew what he was saying was the truth although hard to hear as I would not consider one of those illegitimate  boys my husband.

The idea of the wedding was unsettling as it felt strange how Jace had ignored my presence yet asked for my had in marriage. Even after all this time he had not come to see me and no words had been exchanged about the wedding. The only ones that would come and go to keep me up to date about the prepositions would be my Pappa and our queen as if it was a political matter and not my life they were arranging.

I didn't care much about the wedding over all. After all my heart had been shattered in a million pieces the day Aemon sent him dragon on us. Part of me felt ashamed to know I had considered hi marriage proposal. Yet.. at least he had the decency to ask me in person. A formality although small but important to me. I thought about it more than I should have trying to imagine where my ring could have gotten lost.
