Prologue: Ambition
Prologue
3rd Person Pov
Rickard Stark wanted Stark influence throughout the Seven Kingdoms. However, he never expected to get a letter from King Aerys Targaryen himself asking of for a betrothal between his only daughter's hand in marriage and the chance to become the Queen of Westeros. It was an offer he couldn't refuse.
He gazed out at his little wild child who was running around with her two brothers. He could see that she had a lot of Wolf's Blood in her and could only hope she tempered it down. He knew that if she were wild throughout her life that it would not bode well for her in King's Landing. The dragons would tear her apart
He read the letter over and over and went to tell his wife the news.
She was of course worried for her only girl. She wanted her to stay in the North, same with her boys. However, Rickard and seemingly fate wouldn't allow that to happen. She thought it better, however to not force everything on his daughter all at once. That Rickard could agree upon and allowed all of them to be children for a little while longer.
