------------------------------------------
What Edward read in the letter was the early news of the betrothal between Rhaegar and Elia Martell. Things were going to be exciting from this moment.
Elia's escort would travel to King's Landing at the end of the year. It was perfect timing for him to be able to take Ashara. Ashara was supposed to serve as Elia's Lady-in-waiting. It was good that he had taken her from Starfall before she followed Elia or where he could find her again.
Elia's escort would be attacked by the Kingswood Brotherhood. The things would reach a new highest after that at the tourney of Harrenhal.
Edward was enjoying himself with Ashara and Allyria while thinking about all that.
'I should organize a Tourney in Storm's End to honor Steffon's memory. Robert should have held it by now if he was the Lord, but due to the busy schedule of last year, I did not have the time to do it. Now, it would be perfect timing. I could show the rest of the kingdoms how much Stormsland has changed. I could even marry Ashara at the end after becoming the sole champion.' Thought Edward to himself after imaging all that. He could invite Rhaegar and the Lannisters as well. He would be able to make fun of Rhaegar and Arthur Dayne by marrying the latter's sister, while Rhaegar would be forced by his father to marry Elia.
Edward moved close to Ashara and held her hand. She was talking to her sister when Edward was thinking of all this. Edward wanted to tell her about his idea to see if she would like it.
"Ash, I intend to hold a tourney in Storm's End in one month to honor my father. What do you think if we hold our marriage at the end of it?" Asked Edward while looking at her eyes. Ashara would be the Lady of Storm's End sooner or later, and she had to have an opinion about this stuff.
Ashara thought for a second, then smiled. She liked this idea a lot. She would always dream about something like that. You could see that when she attended the tourney of Harrenhal. And if Edward became the champion and named her his queen, Ashara stopped thinking at this point. Would not be the ideal moment?
"It would be great, my love. But you have to be the champion and name me your queen. You should also invite my brother and his wife. It would be great to hold our marriage at that moment." Ashara started to speak, and it seemed that was no ending for her imagination. Edward waited till she said all she had.
"Calling me your love this early. You are really bold. What if I was not able to control myself and ate you. Don't come to me crying then." Said Edward while smiling at Ashara. He wanted to take her to his room and do some good things with her, but he always resisted himself. She would be his wife, not his whore. He could not treat her like that.
Ashara started smiling at him while licking her lips, trying to seduce him more. If it had not been for her sister sitting next to them, Ashara would have gone and sat on his lap.
Edward tried to change the topic by shifting his eyes towards Allyria, who was smiling at him.
"What about you, Allyria? You also think it is a good idea, right?" Asked Edward as he wanted to hear the opinion of the young Allyria. He needed to shift the direction of the conversation when the young girl started to tease him.
"Yeah, I also think so. Also, you should take me as your wife, instead of Ashara." Said the young Allyria as she started teasing Edward and Ashara. Edward did not know what happened to Ashara in the show. She was supposed to be betrothed to Ser Beric Dondarrion, Lord of Blackhaven, but the marriage had never happened.
"I am your brother by law, so stop with your little tricks, young lady." Said Edward as he warned the young Allyria. The Dornish women were so daring, and Edward feared that she would dare to do more in the future. That would cause him to be uncomfortable.
After that, they started to talk about the details of the tournament. Edward had thought of some ideas that would make this tourney the biggest in history. He also had to discuss with his brother and mother to hear their opinion.
Edward spent the rest of the time with Ashara. He wanted to make her fall for him, so he did not leave her shadow for the rest of the journey.
Three days later, Edward's ship, Stormproud, docked in the new port. These were the effect of the new ship, its large size with the increased speed. They could take half the time to travel to the north now. It would only take them six to eight days, depending on the weather.
After Edward and Ashara landed, Edward could see his mother and the rest of his men waiting for him. He could not see Stannis, so Edward guessed who was doing something important.
"It is great to be home, Isn't it, mother?" Said Edward while greeting his mother but did not get any response from her. She was completely focused on Ashara as if he, her son, was not there at all.
"You are really a beauty, as they say." Said Cassana, complementing Ashara. She was pleased by how beautiful Ashara was and was more pleased that Ashara would be her son's wife.
Edward wondered what his mother would do when she knew how daring Ashara was. Was she going to freak out? Edward was waiting for that to happen the next second when he saw another different Ashara.
"It is great to see you, Lady Baratheon. I had always wanted to see someone as beautiful as you." Said Ashara as she took the personality of the good daughter-in-law that wanted to please her mother-in-law.
Edward could only sigh after dealing with those two women. Edward still thought that they were scary.
"Let's move this conversation to the castle, mother. Are we going to stand here all day?" Said Edward, who wanted to stay away from the two women in front of him.
