It's astronomy, we're two worlds apart"

"Princess Alysanne requests your presence, My Lord," A member of the Kingsgaurd informs Owen.

"Yes, ofcourse. Sorry, Aemond, it seems the Lady is dying for a bit of my company," Owen says to the boy across from him.

Aemond watched the boy leave the room with a clenched jaw. Owen had a huge grin on his face, he was definitely having a good time with Princess Alysanne.

Aemond thought about going to look for Princess Cassella, but he decided Ser Cole would be a better way to let off some steam.

"I am heading back to Dorne soon, Alysanne," Owen announced to the girl as they rode their horses through the Kingswoods.

"What a shame, we shall enjoy our last few days together then," she answers with a small grin.

"If you would give me the honor," he said back with a grin. Alyssane was a great girl, but not his future wife. He would leave that honor to Aemond.

It wasn't very hard to see. Aemond and Alysanne shared longing looks and they seemed uninterested if the other wasn't around. They were in love, yet they didn't realise it. Owen was not about to ruin that.

"Will you be leaving with Owen?" Alys asked Cassela as they sat in the gardens.

"And leave my new best friend. Never. Plus I still have to play matchmaker," Cas answered grinning at Alys, as she blushed. "I will be spending a long time here. I need training to prepare for a possible position of ruler. But we all know it will not happen, my brother is expecting his second child. Which would make me fourth in line. Once they take me off court with Aemond, they shall make me your lady-in-waiting."

"And what if they betroth you too Aemond?"

"They won't."

"How sure are you?"

"They need permission from my father. And in Dorne we believe in love over duty. Unless I want to marry him, I don't have to."

"That was be nice," Alys mutters. She probaly wouldn't ever get married if she had that privilege.

"It was an honor to spend time with you, Princess," Owen says kissing her cheek one last time, but right before he pulled away he whispered in her ear. "I do hope they stick to Targaryen customs."

She stared at him in confusion, but she understood when he looked too Aemond and nodded at the boy. She looked at Aemond who stood on the other side of the Queen, he nodded to the boy in greeting. Owen then greeted Cassella with a kiss to the cheek, before thanking the Queen.

He looked at Alys one last time with a grin, before climbing into the carriage. She glanced at Aemond again as he glared at the boy with a clenched jaw. He looked almost jealous.

"Your carriage to Winterfell will leave in a fortnight." The Queen mutters to her, before walking back in.

"Why can't they see the potential in you and Aemond. I thought Targaryens liked keeping it in the family," Cassella groaned hearing of her best friend's departure soon.
