After The Shit At The Twins, Might As Well Be Winterfell

Aegon Was Marching Towards Winterfell, He'd Took A Stand Against Lord Freys Extortion, and Now People Knew Better Than To Push For Something He Was Unwilling To Give. Irregardless, Aegon's Relationship With Alys Was Stronger, She Appreciated That He Had Agreed To Bring The Karstark Cavalry Down From Karhold, and Was More Receptive To Him and His Advances. Unfortunately It Had The Unintended Side Affect Of Giving an Already Rocky Relationship, In, A Manner Of Speaking, More Rocks. Evalan Had Felt Affronted By His Acceptance Of Karstark Horses Over Her Father's Men, "False Riders" She Called Them. Aegon Felt A Connection To Alys, But He Wasn't About To Sacrifice A Potential One With Evalan. So He Took Her Again, and Again, and Again. Ensuring The First Child Of His, His Heir, Was Born Of Her Blood. Now She Tells Him, She'd Not Bled For Five Moons, and She Was Most Certainly With Child.

Aegon Kept It Quiet, Alys Was Aware, As Was Robb Stark, But No One Outside Them Knew. His Mother's and Paramour's Likely Suspected, and Aegon Was Aware That A Targaryen King With Dothraki Blood Could Quite Literally Tear The Faith Of The Seven A New Arsehole. Which Was Why, Aegon Had Asked Lord Tyrell, To Foster His Son and Heir When The Time Came. It Was Premature, Calling His Unborn Child a Son, But Unlike Dorne, The Rest Of Westeros Wasn't Known For Gender-Blind Succession In Laws Of Inheritance. A Half-Dornish King Of House Targaryen, They Could Accept That, But A Half-Dornish Queen? That Was Quite Another Story.

Aegon and Alys Rode Into Winterfell, Evalan Rode Beside Robb Stark and They Between Ser Arthur and Ser Barristan. The Five Of Them Noticed That The Northerners Bent Their Knee's More Easily With A Northern Queen Beside The King, and Their Future Liege Lord As His Hand. Aegon Dismounted Before Alys, and Brought Her Down Himself. They Walked Toward Lord Stark and His Family, and The Starks Remained Kneeling, As Did Their Household. Aegon Motioned For Them To Rise, and Allowed Robb To Greet His Siblings, Mother and Father, Before He Did. When They Were Finished, Aegon Greeted The Starks Family and Guards, But He Stopped At Sansa. Taking A Few Moments To Examine The Stark Beauty, Aegon Appears To Be Considering Something.

"Is Everything Alright Your Grace?" Asks Robb In Concern. "Lady Sansa, How Old Are You?" Asks Aegon. "I'm Eight and Ten Your Grace." Says Sansa. "Old Enough To Join Your Brother In Kingslanding. I Would Have You Join Your Aunt's Attendants. With Jaehaerys Betrothed To Myrcella Baratheon, Mother Will Doubtless Appreciate Her Brother's Eldest Daughter Offering Comfort He Cannot." Says Aegon As Sansa Looks At Her Mother and Father, Catelyn Looks At Eddard Stark, He Nods At His Wife, Before Both Nod To Sansa. "It'd Be My Pleasure Your Grace." Says Sansa Happily. "Very Good, If What Jaehaerys Said Is True, House Stark May Yet Prove To Be More Intelligent Than House Lannister." Says Aegon.

Aegon and Company Were In The Great Hall, Suffering Through A Banquet. Well, Not Exactly Suffering, He Was Married Already, More Liking Bearing With It. Aegon Had Two, Maybe More Girls Dragging Him For Dances, The Fact All...........Three Were His Dornish Cousins/Paramour's, Were Pretty Self-Explanatory. Alys Was Meanwhile Sharing A Private Drink With Robb, Sansa, and Catelyn. Evalan Eventually Managed To Untangle Tyene and Nymeria From Aegon and Beat Arianne To Closing The Gap. They Left For The Battlements.

"What Can I Do For You? My Khalessi Of The Great Grass Sea?" Aegon Asks Her. "You Love Them, Don't You?" Evalan Asks Him. "I Do, Just As I Love You." Says Aegon. "Your Lying, You Never Loved Me, You Married Me, Only Made Me Your Khalessi Because Of What My Father Offered You." Says Evalan In An Accusatory Tone. "In The Beginning, Yes, and Because I Wasn't About To Piss Off Khal Drogo. But, If I Can Find A Way, To Make Thing's Easier Between Us Or For Us, I Will. You Don't Have To Love Me Evalan, You Don't Have To Even Try and Love Me, But If I Can Make Thing's Better, I Swear, By All The Gods, Seven, Old, Drowned, Lord Of Light, and Your Great Stallion, I Most Certainly Will." Says Aegon As He Holds Evalan Close.

Even As Evalan Pushes Against Him, Aegon Refuses To Break His Hold. "I Will Always Be Here For You. I Will Wait, Wait For You To Love Me, and If That Day Never Comes, I Shall Still Wait For You." Says Aegon, and Evalan Begins Sobbing Into His Chest. "I Hated Him, Hated Him For Selling Me To You. But Now? Now I'm Not Certain." Evalan Sobs. Aegon Brings Her Face Up To Look At Him, and Wipes The Tears From Her Eyes. "Get A Hold Of Yourself, You Are Dothraki, and Dothraki Fear Nothing. A Khalessi Should Fear Less Than Nothing." Says Aegon As A Fire is Lit Behind Evalan's Eyes. "I am Your Khalessi. Not Theirs!" Evalan Says Defiantly. "You Belong To No One, But Yourself. I am Your Husband, Your Khal, But I Do Not Own You. You Are A Horse, A Mare, One Whose Spirit Will Never be Tamed Or Broken. And I Will Not Waste Time Trying To Break an Unbreakable Will In Such A Great Beauty." Says Aegon As The Fire Behind Evalan's Eyes Intensifies.

Having Established A Better Relationship With With Evalan, Aegon and His Dothraki Queen Returned To The Feast, and Aegon Stole His Hand Away For A Moment. "It's Beautiful, Winterfell Has an Undeniable Beauty, As Does Sansa." Says Aegon. "Reconsidering Who You Married?" Robb Asks. "There May Come A Time, When I Will Be **** To Choose, Choose Between My People and My Family. I May Need To Choose My People, and If I Do, I Might Loose One Queen. I Need The North Bound To Me Robb, Part Of The Reason I Betrothed Dany To You. But, I'm Starting To Think I Could Accomplish It Just As Easily, If I Married Sansa." Says Aegon. "What Of Alys? Or Evalan?" Asks Robb. "Evalan Brings Forty Thousand Fearless Cavalry, Alys Less Than Half That. But Sansa Gets Me The Entire North, So Why Settle For Second Best Match? So I'll Tell You Why.....Because I Love Alys." Says Aegon.

"I Don't Get What Your Trying To Tell Me." Says Robb. "Your Grandfather, Hoster Tully Married Your Mother To Your Father, and Your Aunt To Jon Arryn. Doing So United House Tully and The Riverlands To The Rebellion. This Left House Lannister Neutral, and The Reach and Dorne As The Sole Crown Loyalists. We May Be At Peace, But I Need A United Realm If War Returns, and It Inevitably Shall. I Have The Heiress Of Dorne Sharing My Bed, I have The Sister Of The Prince Of Sunspear As My Mother, But Instead Of Rewarding My Most Powerful Bannermen's Loyalty, I Married A Dothraki Girl Over His Daughter." Says Aegon. "Your Worried That If Robert Baratheon Doesn't Rise Up In Rebellion Again, Someone Else Will." Robb Realises. "Steps Need and Still Need To Be Taken, Robb, and If I Don't Marry Sansa, Jaehaerys May Still Need To." Says Aegon.
