Daella entered the training yard and walked down the stone steps.
"Princess." Lord Forrester greeted as she walked towards him.
"Lord Forrester, how is Rodrik? I have heard he's turn into a fine knight." She smiled as she remembered the boy.
"He has and as luck would have it, he's here." he smiled and gestured toward Rodrik with his younger brother Ryon in his arms.
"Rodrik Forrester, how lovely it is too see you. I haven't seen you since we were ten and three." she smiled as the boy walked over.
"It has been too long princess Daella." He bent down and kissed her hand.
"Will you be visiting the North soon?" Lord Gregor Forrester asked as Rodrik got distracted by Aemond sparring with Cole.
"I would love too but Hyrne is very fussy. But I shall try too, I would love to see Lady Forrester and Talia again." Daella smiled as she watched her brother.
Alicent watched from a window at her daughter with the Forrester's. Rodrik would be an acceptable husband but she didn't want to send her baby to the North.
"Do you remember when you bumped into me in this yard and threw a fit over your dirty dress." Rodrik laughed loudly and watched her scowl.
"I do, but I also remember tackling you into the mud with me, causing you to throw a hissy fit." she smirked as he paused his laughter then laughed again with her.
Her eyes looked over the yard and spotted a brunette.
Lucerys.
"Sorry Rodrik, I've just spotted my nephew. Good day." She bowed her head and walked past him.
"Good day princess." he smiled back at her. A small blush crossed her cheeks as she went towards the lonely boy.
"Lucerys Velaryon, you've got handsome." He turned hastily with a red face. He smiled at his aunt widely as she hugged him gently.
"How have you been Daella. I hope you weren't too lonely wile we were gone." he laughed.
"Oh I've been dying without you Luke. I almost jumped out of a window from boredom."
"Daella!" Jace shouted from across the yard and came bounding over to hug her and twirl her up in the air.
"Jace you got tall." she exclaimed as he looked down at her.
"I know. Are you proud?" he smirked.
She slapped him across the shoulder as Luke laughed at his brother's shocked face. She smiled at the two. She truly had missed them. They turned to watch Aemond as he beat Cole.
"Nephews...have you come to train?" Aemond taunted as he swung his sword.
"Ignore him. He's still a twat because he never grew up." Daella glared at the one-eyed prince and turned away.
"Open the gate!"
The three watched as Vaemond Velaryon walked through the gates with his head up high. He stared down at Luke making him back away slightly. Daella leaned closer to his ear as she stared at Vaemond.
"he's just a second son of Driftmark who can never inherit anything but you are the son of the Heir to the Iron Throne and the pearl of Driftmark. Don't worry." Daella murmured in his ear. Luke burned up at her comment and turned towards her as she gently kissed his cheek in comfort. Jace smirked at his brother's pink face.
"Come on. I'll take you to your chambers." Daella announced and looped her arms in between both of theirs and led them into the Red Keep.
