A.N- I hope you like it. I'm trying very hard to make it perfect but I know it is not. Constructive criticism is more than welcome. I'm begging for it!... Spoiler alert! I own nothing! Everyone knows who and what belongs to what.

~~Highpoint~~ ~~Ludd Whitehill~~

"I sent the men to find Asher and kill him!" his son Gryff yelled slamming his fist on the table. Ludd glared across the table to his son. Gwyn sitting by her father's side also glaring disapprovingly at Gryff. "Why am I being lectured for that!?" the chair Gryff sat in fell to the floor as he stood. He glared at his father with his one good eye, all thanks to Rodrik. Ludd's face grew red with angry.

"You killed Rodrik! That's why!" Ludd also stood up and stomped over to Gryff. "I told you to kill Asher's Soldiers and take prisoner Asher!" He punched his son knocking him to the floor. "Neither of them should have died yet!" Ludd was so angry he wanted to kill someone. Gryff coward on the floor before his father. "You disappoint me! You clearly are not ready for this war!" With that Ludd stormed out the hall with Gwyn hot on his heels. He was going to take his angry out on the Forrester boy.

"Father please, wait!" she begged grabbing onto his arm. "Father we can still fix this!" he tried to shake loose but her grip was strong. "Have me marry Asher!" Ludd stopped all together. Shocked to hear this again after so many years. "Please just listen!" He grew angry again.

"NO! I will not let you marry him!" He yelled braking free from her grip. He started walking again but she wasn't far behind him. "I'll not call that Forrester trash, son!"

"Father listen to reason! If I marry Asher the keep will be ours! Every heir I bear will have Whitehill blood! No more will have to die and you will have your Ironwood!" She grabbed his arm again and turned him around. "Father please! This will work with Asher as the new Lord!"

Ludd was angry yes, but he could see the reasoning she was yelling at him. Reminded his of his late wife. He still wasn't sure, Rodrik he knew, and so fighting him was easy but Asher? The last time he saw Asher was years ago. "We don't know him Gwyn…"

"I do! Deep down he is still the man I loved so long ago! It will work!" Ludd stared at Gwyn's hopeful face.

"Fine, to end the blood shed I'll consider it…" The smile he was greeted with soothed his angry some. Gwyn hugged her father and walked back into the hall with Gryff. Ludd turned and stalked taword where the Forrester boy was being held, he was still going to beat the boy. Ludd thought as he walked, 'Even if he doesn't marry my Gwyn Mira is still in king's Landing. She'll be the last….' Elaena was damaged goods, he wasn't getting to let Gryff marry her anymore. 'But Mira… If things go sour everything will go to her… if she marries into my family…' Ludd smiled. One way or any other a Forrester was entering his family, like it or not. He laughed as he entered to boy's prison. "Boy do I have a story for you Ryon."

~~King's Landing~~

Mira was slow moving that day. Her body felt like a sack of potatoes. She didn't think she looked that well in her mirror either but she walked down the stairs regardless. Eyes puffy but head held high. She turned the corner heading toward Lady Margaery's room. She walked up to the door and placed her hand on it to push open but the sounds of sobs and Margaery's angry voice stopped her. She listened for a time before taking a deep breath and opening the door. Margaery looked up from her letter.

"Finally you grace us with your presence." She sarcastily said returning to her writing. Mira looked over to Sera. She had tears in her eyes and looked in need of help. "I was beginning to think you'd found someone else to serve…"

Mira walked up by Sera, "My lady is there something I can help you with?" Margaery slammed her hand down on the table.

"I'll get to you in a moment." Margaery glared over to Mira then turned to Sera. "Do you realize how precarious my position is with Cersei?" Sera fumbled as she tried to speak but Margaery didn't give a chance. "Of all the people in King's Landing, YOU steal from the Queen Regent?!" She was standing at this point, shaking with rage.

"I didn't me-" Sera tried to speak again, but She wasn't given the chance again.

"Did you know about this?" Margaery turned to Mira. Mira looked to Sera then to her Lady. "Sera's been stealing wine! From Cersei no less!" Margaery rummed the bridge of her nose near her eyes. "As if I haven't got enough to worry about!"

Mira looked one last time at Sera's begging eyes before she answered, "No, my Lady. It doesn't sound like something Sera would do."

"Is that so?" Margaery said glaring at Mira.

"I had no idea." Mira stated, forgoing arrogance to protect them both. Margaery sat again and finished her letter. Maxing it before setting it aside to start a new one.

"Really, half the servants in the keep are talking about it, but somehow you're in the drak?!" Mira held her head high and stared levelly with Margaery.

"I'm sorry my lady, my mind has been on other things…" Margaery blinked, the angry in her eyes fading.

"I know… I'm sorry." She leaned back in her chair looking defeated. "It's just… I need order in my household…" Mira and Sera looked to the floor. Mira knew what was to happen next but her heart still burned at the fact. "Until I'm married to Tommen, I can't afford any more mistakes…" Margaery leaned over her desk at her handmaidens, clearly upset at having to do this. "I have no choice but to make changes among my Handmaidens." She paused and looked down to her letters. Mira waited as Sera started sobbing once more.

"Tommen's garden party, Mira. What were you thinking?" Mira looked to the floor feeling ashamed. "I can't believe you'd be so irresponsible.

Mira thought for a few moments, 'True, if my family hasn't been in so much trouble nothing would have happened at the party…' Mira looked up to Margaery with sad but honest eyes. "I had urgent business there, my lady. People were counting on me…" Margaery closed her eyes in thought. "Otherwise I would NEVER have disobeyed you!"

Margaery smiled, knowing Mira she wasn't surprised. "I'm sure you had your reasons, Mira. You always do…" She sighed leaning back again. "At least you're honest about it." She glared over to Sera. Her guilty eyes not meeting anyone, especially Mira's. "Sera's been saying some damning thing about you, Mira." Mira looked over to Sera with hurt, questioning eyes. "I suspect in an effort to save her own neck…"

Sera looked up, fresh tears in her eyes. "My lady! Please!-" Margaery slammed her hand on the table again and glared at her.

"You've said enough!" Sera sulked back to her spot. Mira couldn't blame her for trying to save herself, didn't mean she was any less angry with her but she understood. "One of you must answer for this…" She was now looking at Mira, her eyes softer. "Sera says you used her to get you into the party…" Mira stared at her lady not saying anything yet. "You've been with me a long time, Mira. When I'm queen, I'll need people I can count on." Margaery's eyes were begging now. "Please. Tell me this isn't true!"

Sera turned to Mira and started begging. "Please, Mira! I don't deserve to lose my position for this!" Margaery was about to shut Sera up again but Mira startd to speak.

"My lady… I…" She felt close to tears herself. "I'm sorry." Sera looked to her feet expecting Mira to blame her. Mira looked back to Margaery. "Sera's telling the truth…" Sera looked up to Mira shocked, the light returning to her green eyes.

Margaery, sighed, looked down then back to Mira. "This has been building for sometime, Mira" Mira looked down, she hoped she wasn't making a big mistake. "But it still breaks my heart.. I've been nothing but good to you. I've put up with your schemes and I've even tried to help you and your family where I could." Mira looked up shock clearly over her face.

'Why is she lying?!' Mira thought no longer listening to her. 'I never once asked for her help with my family!' she heard something about betrayal. She was no longer wanted to listen.

"Get out, Mira… We are done.." Margaery said. Mira turned about walked out the door glaring at the floor. It wasn't worth fighting with her for, she kept telling herself. She paused a moment.

'I'll meet Tom, I'll have to tell him the news…' She thought walking down the hall again.

"Mira, Wait!" She hear Sera yelled running up to her. Tears still in her eyes, "I'm SO sorry! She was so angry, I didn't- I didn't know what else to do!" Sera fell in to Mira, she shelled Sera as she weeped. "You saved me from being sent home…" Sera looked up to Mira full of sisterly love, "I can't believe you did that for me. I expected I'd be on my way to Highgarden by now." She giggled as she dried her eyes. Mira smiled to her with sad eyes.

"You're my friend, Sera. I look after the people I care about…" Mira said pushing Sera off her into standing on her own.

"Thank you, Mira. I really Mean it!... I know you didn't have to." Sera placed her hands in Mira's, saddened. "I suppose this is goodbye… I'm not sure we'll-"

"Tarwick is a lovely man, Sera. I wish you all the luck with your wedding.." Mira squeezed Sera's hands reasurinly.

She smiled, "I'll send you an invitation…" She looked around herself then backed to Mira. "I need to tell you something I've been hearing…" She looked around again. Mira leaned in closer to hear, confused at Sera's behavor. "There are some vile rumors going on about you."

"What?!" Mira loudly said shocked at what she is hearing.

"Something about killing a guard? I thought you should know.." Sera hugged Mira and started back to Margaery's room. "Be careful Mira. You're on your own now.

Mira stood there watching Sera retreat, unable to say anything. Jogging herself back from her thought Mira started for her room where Tom meets every afternoon. 'Tom should know something…' she thought.
