The first night back in Winterfell was weird but at the same time it felt right to be back. Maegor and Rickon went into the great hall to speak about what they needed to talk about while Lyarra stayed in the sitting room with her step mother, sibling and children. Lyarra looked outside to see the snow coming down and it made her remember what she and her siblings did Eleanor looked outside as well and saw the snow she turned to look at Lyarra "Lyarra can we play in the snow Please." She said as she gave that look you can not say no to. Lyarra looked over to the boys "Do you want to?" She questioned to which Jaehaerys said yes and Baelon and Aemon.
Once they had their coats on they all went outside to Benjen and Eddard ran with Jaehaerys and they started to throw snowballs at each other. Eleanor was with Lyarra Baelon and Aemon as they started to throw snowballs at them. They went into a battle while Daphne watched from the catwalk with Alysanne.
Great Hall
"So My King, what is it you wish to speak to me about?" Rickon questioned Maegor and looked to him "I have heard that some of the lords are not too happy about how I run my kingdom, mostly coming from house Bolton." Maegor said with his cold tone Rickon nodded his head knowing exactly what he was talking about "I know about the rumors they are saying." "Good since they are a house in the North that makes them your problem so I would like you to take care of it or I will and you will have to look for a new lord for house Bolton." Maegor finshines saying as he places a hand on the top of his sword but turns around to walk away thinking they are done "My king can I say something." Maegor sighs and turns around to look at Rickon.
"Maybe one of the reasons House Bolton do not like you is because you marry Lyarra." Rickon said Maegor moved his head to the side "I do not understand." "Lord Bolton and I betrothed his son and heir Domeric to Lyarra." Rickon paused. "Then we broke that betrothal because the King wrote me a letter saying he wanted to marry my daughter and I could not say no to a king." Maegor looked down then back up at Rickon "So you think they are making these rumors because I married Lyarra?' Maegor questioned Rickon, moved closer to Maegor and put a hand on his shoulder. "The Boltons are proud people. If they are truly making these rumors about you I do think it is because you married my daughter." Rickon took his hand off of Maegor's shoulder "I will talk to Lord Bolton. They are coming to the Harvest feast so I can speak to him after or if you wish you can speak to him and his son." Rickon walked out of the Great Hall leaving Maegor to his own thoughts.
Outside
Rickon and Maegor made their way outside to see Daphne on the catwalk holding Alysanne. They hear the people laughing Maegor moved closer to see his wife playing in the snow with her younger siblings and children "They have not stopped since you too went to speak." Daphne said Rickon laughed a little "They will be freezing by the time they come inside." Maegor turned to look over at the couple "Do they do this often." "Whenever snow is falling they run outside." she paused.
"It has been some time since Lyarra she has done this with the children and now the children have Jaehaerys,Baelon and Aemon to play with as well." Maegor nodded his head and looked down at them again. Lyarra was on the ground watching Jaehaerys run with a big snowball to hit Benjen. Maegor has never since her laugh for so long he thought it was the most amazing sound to hear her laugh. Lyarra looks up and sees Maegor looking at her. She bowed her head at him then felt Baelon climb onto her lap as she placed him on her lap.
A few hours later
After some time they went back inside and Rickon made a fire and all of them sat by it for a long time. They all went into Dining room to have dinner and the whole time everyone was laughing and having a good time.
As they went to bed Lyarra put the children to sleep in the room they will be staying in as Maegor was standing behind her as the two said good night. After they left the children's room they went into their own rooms. Lyarra went back into the room she had when she was growing up and Maegor was in the room right next to her. As they tried to sleep Maegor could not stop thinking about Lyarra and her smile and laugh. Where Lyarra could not stop thinking about the way he looked at her she smiled to herself at the thought of it.
