LION LEGACY
6. Always and Forever

   In the Red Keep, Lyanna sat at the head of a table alongside Eddard with many lords of Westeros sitting at the same table alongside her. Ser Kevan sat to her right alongside Olyvar while Torrhen, Joanna, and Rickard were sitting to her left.

The remaining Queensguard, all but Jaime and Edric were lined up along the dining hall, there to defend Lyanna and her siblings if need be.

"For ten years, I've been making corpses out of men while fighting for your mother and father, I'm the one you want commanding the armies," Lord Mallister spoke up confidently and Olyvar eyed the man closely.

He didn't remember the man, even though Lord Mallister happened to be his grandfather. In truth, Lord Mallister always despised Olyvar, who costed his daughter her death while birthing him. His eldest daughter and firstborn. When Olyvar stayed with his mother's side of the family for the first two years of his life, Lord Mallister hadn't even acknowledged the boy. It had been his wife who had taken care of the boy. Now, here he way.

"Greatjon Umber will be commanding the armies alongside Ser Kevan," Eddard responded in a stern tone, much to Lord Mallister's anger.

"It will snow in Dorne before a Mallister takes orders from a Lannister and an Umber," He shouted out, causing Lyanna and Eddard to exchange an uneasy look with Olyvar, "I will command the armies or I'll take the Riverlands men and march them back home."

Eddard and Olyvar shifted uncomfortably in their seat as they watched Lyanna slowly look up at the man who was at least four times her size and at least forty years older than her.

As she stared at him, her entire expression became cold and threatning. The look on his eldest sister's face caused little Rickard to gasp, nearly choking on his food as he became scared. He knew the expression all too well. His sister was angry and bad things always happened when she was angry. It was the same look Annalys gave people.

Lyanna was the one most similar to her mother out of all her siblings when it came to her temperament.

Grey Wind, who laid at Eddard and Lyanna's feet underneath the table, lowly growled, clearly sensing Lyanna's significant change in mood.

"Go ahead, do it," She encouraged the man in a stern tone as she stood up from her seat, continuing to keep her eyes locked on Lord Mallister, "When we've found my mother and returned home with both her and my sister Torra, I'll be more than willing to have your head mounted on a spike on the traitor's walk for being an oathbreaker."

Hearing the girl's words, Lord Mallister abruptly sat up from his seat directly across from the Princess. He glared hatefully at Lyanna, paying no mind to the five members of Annalys' Queensguard who immediately took a large step toward him, Ser Edmyn being the closest to Lord Mallister with his sword already half drawn.
