No Going Back
HOTD verse
@tessastormrp
Lynesse looked around the feasting hall, filled with people, but she knew none of them. In fact, Lynesse knew no one in the place that was to be her new home save for two of her ladies that traveled with her and the few Hightower guards that escorted her to the North. Besides those few people, everyone in the room was a stranger to her, even her new husband was a stranger to her. Lynesse had only met Cregan Stark the day before last and now they were married.
Staring down at the cup in her hands, the young Hightower tried to straighten her thoughts. The last few months of her life had been nothing but a whirlwind, a blur that passed her by. Her father and sister had told her she was to wed Cregan Stark, and that she would be leaving within the week to head North. Lynesse did not even know a marriage was being seriously entertained for her and in all honesty, she had expected to wed a Lannister, but instead, she had been sent North to marry the wolf. She had been packed up and sent on her way with small goodbyes to her family and instructions from her father. She was to wed Cregan Stark and win over the North's support against Rhaenyra. Lynesse wanted to ask how her father supposed she was to go about steering a Stark away from their oath, she was also curious how on earth Otto had gotten Cregan to agree to the match, but her father never gave her the chance to voice such questions. The Hightower girl had been sent away from her home and everything she knew to go North, a place she imagined she would never leave again, and wed a man she had never met.
Lynesse still felt as if she walking through a dream, like all of this had been a charade and might be called off any moment, but deep down, she knew it was real, and that there was no going back.
