The small black book had the unmistaking symbol of the Targaryen red three headed dragon on the cover.

Aelinor sat on her bed and begin hen entry.
As of today, I have never been interested on forming personal relationships, well I have my siblings and Lorraine of course, but... No one else.
Being a part of my siblings' wedding has made me feel things that are unexplained, my father wished to have me married to whoever will have me. My mother wants me to peddle my wares to attract attention. I am not Princess Lavinia Martell....
And that one, she is a ghastly woman, not physically but her attitude is a triffle. I have no idea how men are attracted to her. Maybe it's her huge cleavage that she throws in everyone's face? I will have to confer with Lorraine on that one.

Okay, so it has been decided with my father's blessing Lorraine and I are going to visit some of the other royal houses to find me a suitable suitor.. Hmmm, a suitable suitor, I wonder can I say that three times fast?
But the great part of this arrangement that I have made with my father is that even I do find one, even if I marry him, he will make me Assistant of Coin. I guess he wants to keep me close to the family, which I do not disagree with.
I do not even want to think about the letter that he received from the Braavosi Sealord who wants to meet me to see if we get along. That was the biggest part of his ultimatum, that if I do not find anyone in two years, I would be marrying the Braavosi and sent away.
I hope that we are successful on our quest, wait how can I say that? Lorraine is going to help me I am sure.

We finally arrived at the Vale. It is a little colder than Kings Landing, but the views are spectacularly beautiful. The mountains are beautiful, it's almost as if they blend into the sky. I now know that there are so many things I have not seen being inside the Red Keep. I can not wait to see Winterfell, Casterly Rock and the Riverlands.
I think this is what my father wanted me to do, to see the kingdom, to see the people under his rule and understand where they come from. I am now thinking that it may be best if I do find my suitor to not remain in Kings Landing unless it is his wishes, but if not I will live with my lord husband wherever that shall be.
Speaking of suitors, I have already met one of them, but it seems most inopportune. Lord Stark seems to be a very focused and poised man. He would be ideal, but I also have a few more to see, such as Lord Aldric Arryn. With the death of his father, he may even follow their tradition of marrying only women with Andal blood, just to respect him. I will not tempt that. That decision I will leave up to him. This is such an awkward situation, but I am here none the less and I have to make the best of it while I am here.
I am also glad that Lorraine is with me, hopefully she can influence Lord Stark. Either way I will have to wait until we are in Winterfell to really know anything.

(rocking inside the wagon en route to Winterfell)
Gods it cold. They say it isn't that bad, but I think they forget I am a dragon and I am used to heat and warmth. I think if I climb any further down into these furs I will disappear.
Well. I can say that even we arrived after the passing of his father, Lord Aldric was a gentleman and gave his best effort to impress me. I am impressed and also surprised, he gave me a family heirloom from his mother, a necklace. I know the importance of items such as those, but I would have insulted him if I had refused. Also he confessed how he wanted to marry me and how he was able to tell me his desires and wants. He was rather truthful, or I should hope. I did rather enjoy myself with him, it seemed perfect, a little too perfect but all the same it was wonderful.
Then there is Lorraine and the Stark. I think I embarrassed them both with my little matchmaking episode in the High Hall, but she made it so obvious. Her nervousness and avoiding my eye contact when she returned. I guess I should be angry, but I am not. She deserves to be happy, she deserves to find love again and not follow behind the princess. I will miss her when she begins to live at Winterfell, but this is necessary for her.
Maybe I am wrong, and I should have said something to her about it, but why? I am the princess, and I can have anyone that please or so I am told. The Gods did not put Lord Stark in my path, they put him in Lorraine's and my suitor quest will not stand in the way of that. She is my friend and it is only fair, but I do feel the air if uneasiness from her. If she is upset with me that is something I must remedy, and very quickly.
