The bustle and cheers of a good tourney always knew how to bring out the most presumptuous of men, the overly confident ones mostly fell first and the skilled ones excelled. This, of course, showed when Cregan won the joust by defeating four knights of Rhaenyra’s Queensguard.

Many were surprised to see the Lord of Winterfell competing in a tourney in the South, but you watched in mild interest as Cregan dismounted his horse after winning and made his way towards the front of the watching stands where you sat. “For the Queen of Love and Beauty…” he said lowly, laying a crown made from blue winter roses upon your lap.
