Rumours
Loras promised her a crown with a smile in his face, and he only gave her a husband who refuses to take her virginity and a lot of rumours which spread behind them. She hears all, and she also ignores the gossips. She walks upright, like a queen. But the queen has no crown, only a campsite. Nobody recognizes the queen as a queen, meanwhile the Lannister lion are still behind her son, that blode boy, who is the only king who sits in the iron throne. The queen is a queen only because Renly Baratheon says he is the king of Westeros; however, he has all everything against him, except the numbers.
Furtthermore, Margaery knows —because that King of thinhs are always known and, what's more, her grandmother, Olenna, had told her— how difficult is her husband wins the war. She heard Olenna said that Renly was useless before the septon proclaimed Renly and Margaery are husband and wife, and the crowd acclaimed her, the beautiful daughter of Mace Tyrell, who got married in a war camp, instead of in a septo.
Margaery knows that Renly are going to lost the war, although she said nothing, because she doesn't want to injure Loras, who has all his hope on the youngest Baratheron, also the least experienced. Renly doesn't know anything about battles and wars, he only knows about tournaments; Renly doesn't know about women, only about men; Renly doesn't know how to govern, he only know how to impress people.
The queen doesn't want to be queen only in her husband's campsite, the queen wants to be queen of all Westeros. And, moreover, she wants to be The Queen, the only one. She doesn't want that Selyse Florent be queen, neither Sansa Stark. She desires the power, for her house, for herself. She wants the crown, the real one, and not only rumours about her marriage legitimacy which spread in the war camp.
