I don't own Game of Thrones.

Chapter 1

Years later~

Kingslanding

Robert is scared. Not scared of battles or assassins that type of scared. No, there lays a man who left this world too soon.

Robert drank and mourned at the sight of someone he had trusted.

Jon Arryn had passed away so suddenly.

Here he is alone and drunk.

"The seed is strong". That was Jon's last words.

He wonders about that. What does his old mentor meant by the seed is strong? Well, it shouldn't matter. He needs help running the kingdom.

He needs a Hand and soon.

And what better Hand than his best friend and brother in all but blood. One who is more honest and honorable that he could trust.

Ned should be his Hand. Surely, he could not be denied by him, right?

Plus, he could finally have blood ties with them.

Cersei could bitch all she wants, but damn it he will have some blood ties to the Northern blood no matter what.

Seven hells, this kingdom could use a good and strong northern queen.

However, he needs to make sure his bloodline prospers in the Stark household. One bloodline to the Kingslandings and the other North members or at least Ned's household.

His precious daughter, Margrethe is the pearl of his world. He dotted her more than any of Cersei's children.

Cersei Lannister is the opposite of Catherine Tyrell.

The people loved his first wife more than any queens before. While Catherine cared about the people especially the commoners.

Cersei does not care about one wit of the people or nobles at all. She acts as if they are all beneath or do as she commanded.

'Ha! They only feared her because of her father.'

Cersei would scowl at his precious daughter every time.

Robert tried to protect her every chance he got, but Cersei always finds a way to make his precious doe a living hell.

He quickly had to send her to the Reach and be placed under the protections Hightowers. They are still kin to Lady Alerie Hightower who is the wife to Mace Tyrell.

He wasn't sure if he can trust the Tyrells. Kin they may be from his daughter, but they were still Taragyren's loyalists.

So, he believes in putting his daughter Margrethe in the safe hands of Hightowers. That should appease the Queen of Thrones.

He misses his Doe.

No doubt that he secretly asks Lord Leyton to train her as his unknown heir in case something happens to the Kingdom.

He may not be the smartest or the wisest king, but he knows that Lannister's are grasping power from Kingslanding and him.

He knows that he needs to find a husband that can help his daughter or better give her boundless sons and daughters.

Perhaps some who used to be kings and would ensure that they get the share of the Kingdom. He would have to be someone whom Ned knows forever.

That's it!

Robert's eyes widen.

He knows just whom to married to daughter off.

All he needs is a paper and quill and the fastest raven to send his message.

Oldtown~

Oldtown is one of the largest and oldest cities in Westeros, built by the First Men before the Andal invasion. Oldtown was constructed around the Hightower, the seat of House Hightower in the center of the city. Oldtown is home to the Citadel and houses the Starry Sept, formerly the seat of the High Septon of the Faith of the Seven.

The demonym used for its inhabitants is "Oldtowner"

There kneeling inside the Starry Sept is the 17-year-old princess Margrethe of House Baratheon and Tyrell.

Behind her are maids and ladies-in-waiting from members of the Reach. Her guards are standing vigintile guarding them.

She is pious and learned how to the patient herself yet there are times when she is more Baratheon than Tyrell.

So, her willful and temper is quite legendary. As she grows, she slowly started to realize the reality around her. The injustice that everyone seems to be carried out like this was a benefit to nobles, not the common people.

She knew too clearly about it.

Cersei made sure that she was defenseless and treated worse than servants. Maids being employed and mock her all they want. She was feed lesser than the dogs and barely owned anything from dresses to anything to keep her healthy.

Margrethe knew that no one would help her until she begged her father to send her away.

Many pleas and tears are shown to Robert. So, he sends her to Oldtown with Hightowers where she can be treated well.

It was the least he could do for her.

Margrethe was weaker and unhealthier than any orphans. She learned from the best of Leyton Hightower and his lady wife Rhea Florent.

She learns how to test her cruelty and cunning to get rid of the maids Cersei gave her.

Margrethe gave them an errand to go to.

Then the 'errand' gave them mugging and defiled in their bodies. While the cruel guards that would beat Princess Margrethe went to the brothel and killed innocent people at the brothel.

She purposely spread rumors that they gave up their maiden hoods to random men right under her nose and murders that would kill anyone just because they are Lannister men.

It spread like a wildfire. So, what better way to help her situation.

Princess Margrethe took this opportunity to go before Lord Leyton and Lady Rhea about true rumors.

Margrethe gave crocodile tears to Lord and Lady Hightower and said that as a princess she can't have maids who gave away their virtues. They would tarnish her reputations as they will be believed the rumors or worse will not marry anyone. And the guards threaten they would rape and kill her if she said any word about their true intentions.

Lady Rhea goes to her niece in all but name to comfort her.

Her Lord husband mad in fury send out his orders.

They made a small trial. Everyone steps forward in favor of the princess against the maids and the guards.

"I saw that the maids would make the princess eat the food on the floor while they laugh at her."

"There are bruises on the body as I know it was the size of their handprint."

"The maids would not even do their duties to their princess."

"The guards don't even guard her or protect her."

The maids and Guards of Queen Cersei became afraid. Worse, the new pieces of evidence came when they had witnessed maids enter rooms to give themselves the pleasure to strange men and guards are drunk and rape their tavern women who were not whores.

The guards begged and pleaded their case that it was bandits who did the deed.

The maids begged and pleaded that they were rapped and did not give away their virtues.

One was stupid enough to accused princess Margrethe of planning their downfall.

Margrethe shed more tears which gathers the Lords and household moved to believe the princess more than the maids.

After all, she is the sweet and kind princess who would give more food to the servant's children of their household food.

So, in Margrethe's favor, she won the hearts of Hightowers. So, who will they believe whom? Some cruel maids employed by Cersei Lannister and guards who threaten her life many times over or the beloved princess who rather starve than letting other people starve?

Lord Leyton had enough, "I will have your tongue wench! Don't think we don't know how you treated the princess most disgustingly. Since you like being lying whores! I will send you out to be like one!"

So, he sends them to live in the North to be whores at Winterfell's outlying town. The guards had the choice of beheading, castration, or go to the wall.

Everyone in Oldtown heard the news and Westlands including Lannister have bristled at the insult but allowed that since Tywin's had the most disgusted manner against whores since childhood. And worst his loyal men of Westland are known to cruelly if not for the fact of what happened to Elia Martell and her children.

Margrethe got her payback but in need of the advice of someone who knows how to play game of Thrones.

She asked for a brief visit to Highgarden to see her mother's family.

But also, Olenna Tyrell is known as Queen of Thrones.

They had a private chat.

"My congratulations on getting rid of those awful maids of yours." That was her compliment. Olenna was proud that she gave Cersei Lannister a prick sharp enough not to touch her again. Olenna wished that she could have protected her more when she was in Kingslanding.

But Margrethe wished to get more allies and power to stand against those who will harm her.

"Grandmother, I plead you teach me how to stand above those who will destroy me." Margrethe pleaded with her grandmother.

Her grandmother patted her granddaughters' hands. "Calm yourself, my dear, I will teach you. After all, your mother would curse me if I don't make sure you survive."

Now years had passed, and she yearns her place in the Reach and Stormlands thanks to Renly Baratheon who visits. She is playing the Game of Thrones if it would ensure that she would survive.

As she continues her prayers her loyal Septon from Starry Step kneels and whispers to her.

Her blue eyes looked at him surprised and shocked.

She crossed herself as she finished her daily prayers.

She orders her maids and ladies-in-waiting plus guards to escorted themselves out.

Margrethe prefers her walks and clears her head from the news.

"My niece," Lord Leyton greeted her.

"So, it's true."

"Yes," Lord Hightower confirmed her.

Margrethe knew the meaning of it.

"You could feign illness and not need to travel." Lady Rhea suggested to her.

Margrethe shook her head, "No, king's orders is a king's order. After all, this is the manner of my betrothal anyway."

Margrethe knew this is what she trains for. Olenna Tyrell was once betrothed to Targaryen prince before she accidentally goes to Luthor Tyrell's chambers and gives him happiness.

She would like to comment on her smartest yet riskiest moves that she ever gambled.

Now she did not doubt that she will get a husband and would easily turn him a man of his standing if she whispers in his ear.

Now the game is set for her survival.

Reviews are welcome.

Next, go to the North and greet the Starks, her father, and betrothed.
