Chapter 4

It was dinner time at the Baratheon Mansion; Myrcella was seated at the dining table with the rest of he family.

Tommen sat next to her while Joffrey was on the opposite side of the table, at the head of the table was their father, Robert Baratheon, a tall man he had once, apparently, been heavily muscular, with black hair, a thick black beard and blue eyes. But now that was gone, his muscle giving way to fat which was not helped by his drinking.

Seated next to Joffrey, on Robert's right hand side was Cersei; their mother and Robert's wife, formerly of the Lannister family before her marriage. She was also tall, with long golden blonde hair and green eyes; it was said, mainly by her maternal uncles, that Myrcella looked identical to how Cersei had looked at her age.

'But then again…that's where the similarity ends, we are...very different people.' Myrcella reflected.

Quickly shaking the thoughts away, Myrcella instead focused on her food; eating and not really listening to the talk going on around her. She did however allow herself a small smile as her mind lingered for a while on Jojen.

She had enjoyed their secret meeting. 'It felt so nice, spending time with him; I just wish, wish we didn't have to hide. But would mum and dad really approve...Joffrey would be an ass but I don't care about that...'

She remained lost; wondering about this; unaware that her distraction was being noticed.

Seeing her daughter so distracted Cersei decided to get her attention. Especially as she had been worried about her daughter lately, considering her previous issues.

"Cella."

Starting Myrcella looked up. "Uh, yeah?"

"Is everything okay?" Cersei asked. "You looked, distant?"

Myrcella just nodded. "Yeah, I'm, I'm fine mum."

By now the others were paying attention; Cersei smiled lightly, trying to be reassuring.

"I just worry about you, especially after, well..." She began.

Myrcella grimaced, knowing her mother was referring to her messy dating history.

Her mother's next words caught her off-guard. "Are you, seeing anyone knew, someone new in your life?"

Myrcella prayed she wasn't blushing as she stammered in response. "Wh-what, I-I...that's...No, of course not, why would I be, why would you ask that?"

Cersei shook her head. "I was just trying to make sure you were alright; after what happened...last time, I was just hoping you would be..."

But whatever Cersei planned to say was cut off by Joffrey.

"Oh come off it Cella, of course there's someone." He remarked with a grin. "How can there not be, you're awesome and hot, like me, you can have any guy you want and I'm proud of that; take advantage of it."

Myrcella just glared at Joffrey's not so subtle hinting that she dating many guys for the fun of it. The comparison to him was especially insulting.

Luckily she kept her cool and with one look urged Tommen to do the same, Joffrey already gave Tommen a hard time for being gay. She managed to hide Jojen, not bringing him up and thankfully the subject was dropped.

It was with some relief that Myrcella made it back to her room. Shortly after she did so, her phone began to ring. A little surprised, having not expected a call, she nevertheless checked it and answered.

"Hey, Trystane." She greeted.

"Hi Cella, what's up?" He replied casually.

She sat down, smiling. "Nothing much, just finished with dinner."

"Ah, us too." He paused for a moment. "Say, I do have some news for you."

"Oh?"

"Yeah, kinda surprised us but...well, Uncle Oberyn and Ellaria are getting married soon." He revealed.

Myrcella gasped and grinned. "Wow, that's, awesome; good for them."

Trystane wasn't done yet however. "Yeah well, the bit that surprised us; since he knew we were still friends...Uncle Oberyn was wondering if you wanted to come to the wedding, you are invited."

Myrcella was stunned, amazed, yet she gladly accepted. It was no secret after all, despite the relationship ending that she wasn't still friends with just Trystane, she remained friendly with the other Martell's too. Particularly Trystane's sister Arianne; but she never imagined something like this.

But she was more than happy to go; it would be wonderful to watch two people so much in love finally joined in marriage.
