It was the middle of the night and Lyanna was destined to get as far as possible just this night, she was slightly annoyed that Ser Godric was joining her but she knew he would be in danger too as he was her guard.
"Where are we going?" Ser Godric asks and she sighs, but she looked at him with her blue eyes, which were now showing something Ser Godric hadn't seen a long time.
Lyanna was going to war, and even though it scared her, she loved it at the same time.
"I'm not used to see you like this, I almost forgot how trained you are." Ser Godric says, trying his hardest to get her to speak, after she commanded him she hadn't said a word.
"Alright, Ser. By light I will be considered a traitor, probably named a bastard, and I will have a bounty on my head. So can you please stop trying to start a conversation and just focus your energy on getting as far away from the Capital as possible." Lyanna says and she focussed her eyes in front of her again, her bow was hanging around her, and a little ax was bumping against the side of her body. If someone said she was one of the mountain men and Ser Godric would've believed it.
Ser Godric did what he was told, and they rode all night.The both of them were on the road for most parts when Lyanna suddenly realised where they were.
"Stop here." She said and she looked around.
"Can we finally go and rest? You must be tired my princess." He says and Lyanna shot him a look and he knew what that meant.
"Do you know where we are, Ser Godric?" She asks, ignoring him completely.
"Close to the riverlands, my- Lyanna." He says and she nods.
"Do you know what that means?" She asks.
"We're close to the Lannister camp. The one of your Grandfather and the one of Jaime." He says and Lyanna nods.
"Exactly and you know what? I think we should visit my uncle for a short while." She grins and she started to move her horse again.
"Wait! Don't you think it's dangerous to go there?" He called after her.
"Of course there is a risk! But I haven't seen him in a long time, and there's really something I need to tell him." Lyanna called back to him.When they arrive at the camp they were quickly surrounded by Lannister men and they took both Lyanna and Godric. Stripped them from their weapons and brought her to the commander.
Ser Jaime Lannister.
"They told me some Stark informants had came to spy on my camp." He says as he looks at the two intruders, "They probably don't realise that you're their princess and my little niece." He says before hugging Lyanna softly.
"I've missed you so much, Jaime!" She almost cried.
"You can have a tent if you desire. But what are you doing here?" He asks.
"I'm sorry, Jaime. My father is dead, and I didn't think the capital would be safe for me anymore. Especially not with Ned Stark looking into the legilimency of my brothers and sister. Mother never liked me and I thought I would maybe be in danger if I stayed." Lyanna whispers.
"Well, a lot has happened since I left." He says with a smirk.
"That's an understatement." Lyanna says, she then turned to Ser Godric, "Could you please leave us for a moment."
Without another word Ser Godric left them to stand outside.
"What is it you want to discuss?" Jaime asks his niece.
"A couple of things. I want you to know that I've been really thinking everything through, and with a little help from a friend of mine, I connected the dots. What Lord Stark says about the Royal children is true, isn't it? They are all yours." Lyanna whispers, Jaime remained silent, "Which would mean I was the one true heir, and that is why my mother hate me so much and rather see me as a bastard, because I am not truly a Lannister."
"How do you know all this? Not that what you're saying is true, I just never knew you would have such a conspiring mind." Jaime asks.
"Since I now know who you love, and since we had an agreement... Remember when I told you I was in love?" She asks.
"Yes, you told me on the way back from that freezing hellhole." He says.
"Yeah. I was ashamed to admit that I had fallen in love with Petyr Baelish." Lyanna says, "So now that that's said and done. I just want you to know that I won't claim my rightful title. I never wanted to crown, Joffrey can have it and Tommen after him."
"So where are you going? You don't rode all the way up here to tell me this." He says and he looks at her. She thanked the gods for his reaction, she would've sworn that she would get a scolding of why Littlefinger is the most shitty person to love and that he has one priority and that is himself.
"I took a detour here. I'm heading for the only place other than the Red Keep where I felt slightly at home." She told him.
"You're going to Winterfell? That place is abandoned." Jaime says.
"Where else do you suggest I'll be heading then?" She asks him in a slight panic, she had it all figured out what she would do.
"Since you already fled the capital thus probably already a so called traitor, I suggest you make peace with the Stark boy, tell him your story. And when the time comes you have to choose between your family or the Stark family I can only hope you would choose right. My father would forgive you for the sake of the family, trust me on this." He says and she looks at him.
"Thank you Jaime. I really appreciate this." She smiles at him and she wrapped her arms around her uncle one more time, "The best thing of being away from the capital is that I don't have to wear those bloody dresses anymore." She chuckles and Jaime starts to laugh.
"Have some rest dear, we'll talk some more tomorrow." He says and she nods, "I'll have your weapons delivered back to your tent, I hope you don't mind sharing one with Ser Godric."
