Chapter 2| Feasts & Trouble

Lyanna and Arya sat together in one table. Lyanna scanned the room for Jon but she couldn't find Jon and just ate her food silently. Lyanna's hair was curled and down at her side, with a small crown on her hair and her dress was black and gold. Arya was wearing one of her dresses she didn't care about. Lyanna noticed Robb and Ashter talking. Lyanna excuses herself from Arya and walked up to them.

"Did you meet Uncle Benjen?"

"Uncle Benjen? He's here?"

"Yeah, he's with Father."

"Robb. Ahster." Lyanna bows at them two.

"Lyanna. You look beautiful." Lyanna blushes at Robb's comment and Ashter nods his head in agreement. Robb nods over to Ned and Benjen. Ashter spots them and grins. Benjen sees Ashter and grins back.

"Well, that's certainly a surprise." Robb reaches for Lyanna's hand and she takes it.

"You should go say hello. I bet he'd love to see you."

"Oh, I will. But later." Ashter suddenly looks around and back at Lyanna.

"Where's Jon? He should be in here enjoying himself with the rest of us." Robb suddenly looks uncomfortable and looks away.

"He's outside. Mother though having a bastard in here would be an insult to the royal family." Lyanna looks down on the floor as Ashter suddenly looks irked as he glances outside.

"Seven fucking Hells...." He storms off and Robb looks at Lyanna who removed her hand from his.

"I have to go after Ashter before he does something stupid." Lyanna couldn't help but let the tears slip down her face, as much she told herself she wouldn't she let it. She found Ahster up at the High Table and rushed there, but she was too late.

"Jon will stay where he is."

Ashter's anger has returned. He forcefully throws his mug of wine on the ground and Lyanna flinches as she goes closer.

"I do not accept that."

"Excuse me?" Lady Stark stood up and leveled with her son. Queen Cersei quietly laughs, even though Lyanna didn't find it funny, she glared at the Queen.

"You can hate him all you want, but it's not his fault; you know it isn't! This is just unfair and needlessly cruel." Lady Stark has a resentful look on her face.

"I will not discuss this matter any further."

"You...!" Lyanna came in and smiled at Queen Cersei and Lady Stark.

"Excuse me, Lady Stark, Your Grace. Ashter your intoxicated. Let's go, Ashter please." Queen Cersei spoke up before Lyanna could take him away.

"I think it would be best to listen to your adopted sister. And...perhaps lay off the wine for the rest of the night." Ahster doesn't look at anyone and Lyanna chews the inside of her lip.

"Right. My apologies, Your Grace."

Lyanna and Ashter leaves the Dining Hall. Robb tried to stop Lyanna but she shoved him off and walked with Ashter to the courtyard, where Jon was still hitting the dummy with his sword. His head looks up when he sees Lyanna and Ashter.
