Shilo had been wandering around on her own for half the day; whilst she did enjoy the company of the Tyrells with her cousin, Shilo couldn't shake the feeling she had about them. They seemed nice enough, but with someone like Lady Olenna in the family, just how just and kind were they? When Margery had found Shilo and Sansa together and insisted that they join her and her ladies in the gardens, Shilo had made excuses to leave. Despite Sansa's attempts to keep her cousin with her, Shilo did not stay and spent the in the library before leaving for a walk.

"Hello, good lady."

Shilo snapped out of her trance at the slight touch on her arm, "Oh, Lord Varys. Hello, how is this day treating you?"

"Oh, sweet girl, always so pleasant." Varys smiled at her, out of all the people that knew Varys was not actually a lord, she was perhaps the only one in which he really did not mind she did not call him by his false title. The spider would not consider her a friend, he did not have friends, but if he did; Varys would say she was one. "Why are you not with the other girls?"

The two of them began to walk in step with each other out into he gardens, and Shilo had the feeling that he was leading her to Sansa. Varys was never straight with his messages and he was very sneaky, only telling her things that would profit him. Or in the rare case, if she had information to swap then he would rely something onto her. Varys would never tell her, but he already knew what she would say but he felt he should still give her something back. If Varys was here and leading her to Sansa, it was for good reason. Out of everyone here, Varys was the one that understood the lengths that Shilo would go for Sansa. He had seen how she was when Lord Stark was imprisoned, when they had lost Arya and just how she was with Sansa. She was indeed more wolf then falcon.

"I wasn't in the mood, I'd just ate. But I suppose now that I've had a nice read in the library, I am ready to meet my cousin."

"You learn fast."

"I've had to, to keep up with your gossip and tricks my lord,"

Varys smiled. She was cheeky. "I've heard the odd rumor about a few certain girls. A few certain girls, are having their futures chosen for them by someone with more power then they."

"I'm afraid, my lord, you're speaking of every woman in the land. Every girl's is future is chosen for them, even Queen Cersei did not choose her own destiny."

"Right you are." He smiled, they were getting closer, he could hear the giggling and gossiping girls, "This 'destiny' as you called it, is about being close to someone, to keep the girls close."

The spider may speak in riddles, but Shilo knew he was talking about marriage. So they were going to marry them off, were they? She could understand Sansa, why they would keep her close. She was the last Stark, with Sansa they gained Winterfell. But her? Well, she was Jon Arryn's eldest child; holding her meant they got The Vale, even if her mother did act as though she did not exist. As far as Lysa was concerned, Robin was there and he was now Lord of the Vale.

"I do not see your cousin, but I do see the queen's spies. I think it best we part ways now, child."

Lord Varys left her, and Shilo made her way over to Margery, who stood and hugged Shilo, beaming. Shilo returned the gesture, not wanting to seem ignorant or unpleasant. Although she did not fully trust House Tyrell, being rude to them would do her no good but keeping on their good side may prove to be Sansa's saving.

"Afternoon Margery, I'm sorry I didn't join earlier. I'm afraid my stomach didn't quit agree with my morning meal." Shilo looked down, feigning embarrassment. "Where is Sansa?"

"You're feeling well, now? I'm glad, Sansa seemed rather down without your company. I do quite envy your relationship with each other, it must be lovely. You're as close as sisters." Margery said sweetly as the two girls sat themselves down on the grass, "She was went for a walk with Loras, they seem a lovely couple."

"Certainly a pretty one. Sansa is a young beauty, Loras too." Shilo smiled back, coyly looking at the Tyrell. "I don't think anyone could deny that the Knight of Flowers is certainly as beautiful and charming as the flowers, he's named for."

"And you call him the charmer," Margery teased. "With your honeyed words?"

"Well, I need some talent. How else am I supposed to keep up with the two of you. You have a king in your hands and Sansa has the Knight of Flowers, perhaps."

"I would hope so, perhaps I may gain a sweet sister." Margery sighed, "I'm sure you will find someone, perhaps when I am queen, I should find you a match?"

Shilo smirked slightly, and unforgivingly, her thoughts went to Jon. "You're welcome to try, I may be hard to please."

Margery raised an eyebrow.

"That didn't sound how it was meant to." The dark haired girl giggled.

"Perhaps a strong knight? A bountiful Lord? An exotic prince?"

The two giggled together, she hated to admit it, but even with all of their schemes, Shilo did think Margery would make a good queen. At least a better one then they had now, but it didn't take much to beat Cersei.

"I'll leave it to you, Margery."

"Sounds like I'll have a challenge upon my hands! Listen to me, planning your future!" The Tyrell smiled before dropping her voice to a whisper, "You must think me no better then some, do you think they're planning something now?"

"They're always planning something. If anything, that's one thing I have learnt off Cersei, in the Game of Thrones, you've got to be ahead of the game, you've got to scheme and plan all the way through."

"Yes, I suppose. I suppose my plan is obvious!"

"To become queen? And marry Sansa to Loras?"

"Indeed. And what's your plan?"

"Now that, my dear Margery, would be telling."

"It's not my wedding."

That was the first thing she heard of Sansa. Shilo did not even see her after Sansa spoke with Loras, so she had excused herself from Margery and went in search of her cousin.

"You're not still moaning, are you?"

Shilo teased her cousin, although Sansa was glad she was not marrying Joffery now; she could not help but be a little jealous that it was now her wedding. The big wedding she had dreamed of as a child. Shilo sat down in a chair near Sansa, as Shae helped her with the gown. She was half listening as Sansa began to speak of High Garden, and dress makers and Loras; and shared a small look with Shae.

"Will they let me invite my family?"

"They haven't asked my opinion."

Shilo looked at Sansa, she could answer that question. No. They wouldn't Sansa, because even if you did marry Loras, the Lannisters would still control everything.

"But do you think they will?"

Shae looked at Sansa with a sorry look before saying, "No."

"They won't keep me away Sansa."

Her auburn haired cousin smiled at her, " I know, I just meant...it would have be nice, that's all."

Suddenly there was a knock at the door as Sansa and Shae were taking the gown off and within seconds, the gown was back on and Lord Tyrion was in the room.

"Good afternoon my ladies, I was wondering if I may speak with you Lady Sansa?"

"Of course."

"Alone, if I may?"

Shilo saw the glances the Dwarf gave her and Shae, and was rather pleased of Shae for speaking back to the Lord.

"Why do you need to speak with her alone?"

"Shae!" Sansa scolded. "Please excuse her my Lord. She's not from here."

"Sansa, she's only looking out for you, don't be so rude."

Tyrion nodded at the girls, as Sansa spoke again and turned to Shae briefly.

"I am sorry Shae, but may she stay my lord? I trust her as I do Shilo, whom I would also like to stay. Even though Shae tells me not to trust her."

"Sometimes, we hear things that we had wished we would hear in entirely different circumstances."

"It's alright, really my lord."

Tyrion nodded once more, if this was how he was going to tell her then this was how it was meant to be.

"This is awkward, Lady Sansa...plans have been made. It has been arranged, that...I am very sorry my lady, but you and I...we are to be wed."

Shilo looked at Sansa, who had gone white. First her dreams of marrying the young prince were crushed and now her dreams of marrying the Knight of Flowers. Things were becoming uncomfortable, and Shilo stood in front of her cousin.

"Forgive her Lord Tyrion, she's spent the whole day in the sun and you come with rather surprising news. I assure you, her silence is purely because of the heat, and being caught off guard." Shilo smiled at him, "I'm sure once she rests and eats, she will be fine."

"Thank you, Lady Shilo. I was beginning to worry." Tyrion said with much strain, he knew the reason Sansa had went pale and silent. And it was not down to the sun! But Shilo, was doing as Jaime did for him, and looked out for Sansa, no matter the cost. "Well, I should leave the three of you, enjoy the rest of your day, my ladies."

Shilo lay in bed, Sansa finally asleep beside her. Sansa had wept for hours until finally falling asleep. And now Shilo looked at the canopy above them, perhaps this was what Varys had warned her about. She was rather certain this was what the spider had spoken to her about. So she knew who Sansa was promised to, now what about her?

Who were they going to sell Shilo to? Sansa was going to Tyrion, if that was to happen, then the Lannisters were getting hold of Winterfell, so how were they going to capture The Vale? As she had said to Margery, Cersei had taught her to plan a head, so Shilo lay in bed, awake, trying to think a head. With no luck, without knowing whom she was promised to, she wasn't sure how to get through this.

There's another episode done!

Hope you all enjoyed! Leave a review!
