Summary
The Crown Prince's wife is determined that her brother will not be any worse off than he ever was as result of his promise to her. To that end, she plans to use Lord Whent's event to find him, and herself, a shield against the plotting of some of the realm's lords. Her attention falls upon the guileless Northerner maiden whose manner impresses her and whose position delights her, for the girl is but a natural daughter and asking her from her father is not like to create dissent.
Given the opportunity to repay her father for years of care, Lyanna sees her plans for the future brought to a halt. Should she accept the Princess' proposal there is a promise of favour for her brothers and father. Knowing such a decision cannot be taken back, she finds herself weighing the value of those promises against her wish for a simple, uncomplicated life. If she consents, the rest of her existence shall revolve around the schemes of power-hungry lords and there is no guarantee of kindness for her.
AU! Lyanna thought she might dip her toes in the intrigues of her betters, but in King Aerys' court there is no such thing as half-measures. Not for those who mean to survive.
