2 Lady Lyarra Targaryen nee Stark POV

41 AC1

Throughout my 18 years of life I have never been much happier than this, watching my little baby boy sleeping soundly. My son is a very energetic, loveable boy who can easily change his grandmother's serious looking face into a smiling one. There is no doubt that my eldest boy will grow up spoiled by his grandmother but I will be there to instill discipline towards my son, for no son of mine will grow up an entitled brat, because I was never raised as such. Even though I may not be always there to administer my son, I know that my princely husband will carry it out for me, a stern but benevolent man who made Dragonstone rich during his tenure as its lord and along with that, the enrichment of the North, from the brotherhood of the wall to it's ruling houses and their vassals.

Ever since my husband started his Fourteen-Rings mercantile-trading company, he always trade his goods for a just, fair price that led to northern people procure more than what they need. With that, a trademark was born, my husband's company trades all their goods just and fair, nothing more and nothing less. No one had known then that my husband had started his mercantile-trading company at a tender age of 8 with the help of the Celtigars until it had gain its recognition through its successful trade in Yiti only two years after its establishment and it's diverse products offered. The company also offers the newly created or innovated products manufactured in Dragonstone.

Now, the Fourteen-rings company's trade goes from Casterly Rock to Asshai sometimes but often times the trade stops until the Yitish empire due to Assha's dangerous topographic location, and from the lands beyond the wall to lands of the summer isles. At first, my uncle, the warden of the north was angry and even hated my husband due to his occupation on the lands beyond the wall and trade between the wildlings and the fourteen-rings company.

But all the anger and hatred burst like a bubble when my husband offered to build 10 free glass houses in winterfell and offered to build glass houses for ¼ the price offered by the free city of Myr, and also shared secrets of farming to increase the yield of the crops.

After the negotiations, there is a significant economical growth and years later the north experienced a population increase. Our daily livelihood got better with our food becoming much bountiful and tastier with the delicious spices from the east.

As the niece of the warden of the north I never got to experience a very hard life like the serfs and common people do, but come winter in the north everyone suffers all the same high and low born alike. Even though I have a substantial standing in the northern court due to my bloodline, a daughter of the second degree cousin of house stark is often forgotten and neglected, but that all changed when my husband had made a secret meeting with my uncle seven years ago.

Their meeting concluded with a possible marriage between the royal house Targaryen and of house Stark. After that, my uncle gathered all eligible candidates for the possible union, since my uncle was not blessed with a daughter, he had chosen the from the daughters outside of the main family. Of the five groomed to be the potential bride, only two was presented to the prince after 6 years of training and thankfully I was chosen.

After the marriage, the negotiations my husband and uncle concocted years ago was sealed by blood. The main points in their negotiations are: the sea dragon point will become the new western harbor for the north and it will be partially owned by house stark and house Targaryen by maegor with an ownership percentage of 25 % and 75% respectively; moat cailin will be restored but not as a stronghold but as an outpost that will serve for the canal that will be made in the near future with an equal ownership between the two houses; and the future canal that will be made will be owned solely by house Targaryen of Dragonstone and its construction will also be shouldered by house Targaryen of Dragonstone.

After knowing the terms of the negotiations I cannot help but see my husband in a very new light he is a visionary beyond compare. I thought of him as any other lord of westeros but I should have known better. It's not like you can see a man with both brains and brawn. As for why would I define my new husband in that way? Just looking at him, you can see that he towers most men in the realm, matched with a very broad shoulders and very thick arms, just looking at his arm muscles made me think that it can fit up to 2 human heads.

Seeing my husband up close made me rethink my survival during the consummation of our marriage, I just hope that I get to see tomorrow but thankfully it ended beautifully blissful. What would having my voice lost the very next due to the strenuous use of my throat by moaning all night mean? Oh, yes! My husband is a very skilled lover! I thank the thick walls on the rooms of Winterfell else everyone might have already heard me! And everyone might think of me a whore! I guess that's just one of the perks of having a husband who had already been married before. With their marriage ending fruitless, I guess one of the two must have some problems in creating a new life. But now I know which of the two got the problem for I got pregnant and successfully gave birth to a healthy heir.

I can hear a thunderous roar outside that woke me up from my deep thinking, thankfully my babe never woke up once he's on his 'power nap' of the day coined by my husband. Upon looking outside, I got to know who had just arrived, my husband and his dragon Morghulax. A fast growing black dragon with horrifying dark green eyes and green flames that already rivals the size of the conqueror's dragon. It seems that he had successfully delivered the second valyrian blade ordered by house Lannister.

A while later, I can hear someone knock lightly the door three times before opening the door very slowly. A habit that my husband uses. As he went in together with his mother, I stood up and greeted them with a smile.

My husband then walked towards me and passionately kissed me on my lips, and before it escalated we were interrupted by my good mother. " Maegor?! May I remind you that I am just behind you?!"

My husband then stopped and cheekily replied " Sorry mother, I just got caught on the moment after seeing back my family after my long journey, you should know that I am also happy seeing you mother I could also hug you once again you know"

My goodmother then replied " Bah, I don't want to hug someone who smells sweat and dragon filth, just tell us how did your business with the Lannisters go."

" Ahh you wound me mother, very well you shall have your most awaited intrigues, but before that may I eat first? I am quite famished from my very long journey"

My good mother did not seem to like it and simply replied with a threatening tone "uhuh"

My husband moved backwards and sat on my vacant seat beside the crib and replied "Alright!(2x) Geez! Mother! it seems that my japes eludes you nowadays mother, hmmm sooo after I have arrived in Casterly Rock I was welcomed with festivities and after I gave the merchandise I was then led to my quarters where I was awaited by a very beautiful lannister as beautiful as the day she was born, whoa don't give me that look, of course, I refused to be seduced and sent her out, politely of course, citing that I have grown tired from my travels but when she refused I got angry and lashed out on her sending her away crying. Huuu it seems my handsomeness had made yet another maiden, wait don't give me that look again mother of course I am japing, not you too my love"

" Did you have an ale or better yet a whiskey, on your way here?" my goodmother asked.

" Ummm yes??? Hahaha of course not mother I am just that happy seeing you all my cherished people that japes can easily flow out of my mouth"

"Hmmm very well, after that? What else? Any notable events?"

" Lord Lannister is asking me if it is possible for him to sell all his stocks on the fourteen-rings company so I agreed that in exchange I buy it less than the market price of which will just be deducted from the original price of the delivered merchandise so instead of 250 tons of copper lord Lannister will only be needing to pay us 150 tons of copper for the next 25 years and I can't help but notice but it seems that lord Lannister and the warrior's sons on the Sept are preparing for war by simply storing more food in their granaries and buying livestocks on bulk, I guess its beginning now isn't it mother? And you don't have to worry a single thing mother, I have already prepared our men and companies 10 moons ago."

"Which means we are already prepared for war?"

" Yes mother"

" When do you think will the faith strike son?"

" At the time for celebrations mother, you'll see"

Aerion woke up and started to cry much to my husband's delight upon seeing his son awake. It seems that war is upon Westeros and it will be started by the faith of the seven.
