THE GOLDEN DOE

All the people present were happily eating the food. Many of them were thanking her. The children hugged her and elders blessed her

Harry was right. It was so easy to win these people's loyalty and nearly impossible to lose it. Just give the hungry some food, give homeless a place to stay. Just show the small folk some kindness and they will love you for it.

Here she was in one of the shelters for homeless on the Street of Sisters giving them the leftover food from the feasts that her father threw every other day and the people were comparing her to Goddesses.

She often visited shelters and orphanages. The people of King's Landing love her for it. The people of King's Landing called her 'Golden Doe '. Probably Harry had hand in spreading the name. There times are when I really want to strangle him.

She spoke a few words with the matron telling her to send a message if they needed something.

After that, she left the shelter with her guards following behind led by Ser Arys Oakhart of the Kingsgaurd. Ser Arys was the third son of Lady Oakhart and the most recent addition the the fabled knightly order. He was also the only one besides Ser Barristan who was not likely to spy on her. The rest of Kingsgaurd were either pathetic excuses of Knights or spies.

By the time, they reached Red Keep it was sunset. She went towards her chambers in Maegor's Holdfast followed by her kingsgaurd and half a dozen Lannister knights. Her mother did not give the knights following her to her. Old Lion herself gave them to her.

She knew that she was her Grandfather's favorite. She ignored that it might have something with her being the only one of his grandchildren who has actually spent more than a month in Casterly Rock.

After the incident and Harry's subsequent exile she blamed herself and rightly so. If only she had not went crying to Harry like a little girl. She stopped being the little girl after that. She did not talk much and she spent most of the time brooding. She started hating King's Landing.

In the end, one time when her uncle Tyrion was visiting she begged him to take her with him when he returns to Rock.

He told her that he would send a letter to Lord Tywin. She never found out how he convinced her Grandfather but he somehow did.

Within a fortnight, Tywin Lannister sent a letter inviting her to the Rock and there was a suggestion that she became his cupbearer. To anyone who read the letter it was clear that that he did not suggest, he demanded.

Such is the influence of The Old Lion that the King had no choice but to send her. The crown was already in 2 million dragons in debt of Lannisters they did not want to slight her grandfather more. Her mother did protest but it was ignored.

She spent her first year in Casterly Rock under the tutelage of Genna Lannister and her other Lannister cousins. At that time she was still spent most of her time moping. It was not until the ends of that year when Harry visited and told her that he did not blame her that she finally got hang of her. Her next year was much better.

Myrcella changed her clothes to get ready for the dinner with her family. Well more like the members of Family who mother invited.

When she finally got to her mother's chambers, she found her mother sitting at the head of the table with Joffrey on her left and Jaime on her right while Tommen sat beside him.

"Ah Myrcella. Come sit we were just waiting for you." Her mother smiled at her pleasantly.

Her relationship with her mother could only be described as complicated. Same like the relationship between mother and Harry. They both knew that their mother loved them.

She always doted upon them when they were younger. Then they started growing up. Joffrey started fighting with Harry and it became obvious that Mother favored Joffrey always taking his side in arguments. This led to Harry distancing himself from her. As Myrcella started growing up, she started spending more time with Harry because he was the only one who stopped Joffrey from bullying her. Whenever she complained to mother, she just told Joff to never do it again half-heartedly.

"I apologize for making you all wait." Myrcella said sitting next to Tommen. He was her youngest brother. He was a sweet and kind young boy who could never hurt anyone. Some might call that weak but Myrcella would make sure that Tommen spend his rest of the childhood happily. When she came back from Casterly Rock, she was aghast to find out that Joffrey regularly bullied the five year old, which the boy terrified of Joffrey. Due to this, she started spending as much time with tommen as she could. She knew Joffrey would never make a scene in front of her. This benefitted the young boy who started gaining some self-confidence.

"I still don't know how a princess can spend her days with filth." Sneered Joffrey.

"I hope you remember you are going to rule that filth one day brother." Myrcella spoke softly not giving much attention to her eldest brother. "I hope that day doesn't come for a long time. I would probably get most of my stuff and leave the kingdoms. Anywhere's better than a place with Joffrey as a King." Myrcella thought silently.

The only words to describe Joffrey were cruel and sadist. He always took pleasure in seeing other people hurt. He was a coward who could not even defend himself against an untrained peasant. He was a spoiled boy who thought that being a Prince granted him right to do anything. That is the similarity between Robert and Joffrey. Both were used to getting what they want.

Soon her mother intervened and the dinner was started. She spent most of the dinner speaking with Tommen. Joffrey kept boasting to her mother about how great he was while her mother kept compliment not giving any attention to lustful looks her uncle was sending.

It was a mystery about how her mother and uncle kept their relationship secret when most of the time they were anything but being subtle. Just like right now, how Jaime was looking at her mother as if he wanted to devour her. Myrcella shuddered at that. She had always been suspicious of both of them with how both of them spent most of their time together. She found out the reason why last year when she accidently saw them doing the deed.

She never said anything about that to anyone. She knew Harry at least suspected.

Sometime later, she heard from mother about how so many knights were coming to the Tourney of the Hand. She grimaced at that. It meant many more men might try to ask for her hand.

The only good thing that Robert Baratheon might have ever done for her was never accepting any proposal.

Well not for her maybe. She knew that he wanted her to marry Robert Arryn so that he could have his big 'happy' family. She knew she would rather become a silent sister that marrying that boy who still drank milk from his mother. Most of the other lords who asked for her hand were either too old for her or too low in standing. The only unwed children of lord paramount except Vale were Willas Tyrell and Robb stark.

She had doubts about Tyrell's interest. Robb Stark on the other hand has potential to become a good husband even if he lacked the head for politics. It is a pity. He was perhaps the only person who was suitable for her.

She woke up early next morning to get ready; she had invited few women and sisters Stark to breakfast with her. That was the difference between her mother and herself. The main reason her mother had any influence in the court was due to Lannister gold and her being Tywin Lannister's Daughter. She had no friends at court. She looked down on everyone.

Myrcella on the other hand was quite popular among ladies from crownlands. She had spent a lot of time cultivating these relationships. She had learned the value of gossip from her Great Aunt Genna.

She met other ladies in Queen's Ballroom. She spent most of the fast-talking with Lady Buckwell and Lady Rykker. They were both ladies of two of the most powerful houses in mainland Crownlands.

She saw Stark sisters in a corner. The older one Sansa stood beside the Septa who was scolding the younger one Arya. She reached them in time to hear Arya say, "But I didn't even want to come. Ser Balon was going to give lessons in Archery today, you were the one who forced me to come."

Septa was about berate her further when she intervened

"Do forgive me lady Arya, I was not aware of your lessons."All three looked at her surprised.

Septa opened her mouth to speak but Myrcella continued, "Perhaps I could give you some pointers. I too learned from Balon after all. He taught me the same way Archers from Marches are taught and they are considered best in Westros."

Both Sansa and Septa looked shocked while Arya questioned, " You know about Archery."

"Yes I know quite a few things about Archery and quite adept at using knives, if I say so myself."

Arya eyes were now wide while Sansa frowned. The Septa on the other hand looked at disapprovingly and said "That's not how a lady behaves you should know better Your Grace."

She nearly snarled at that but stopped herself.

"While I do understand how a lady behaves but that doesn't mean we should be defenseless. Tell me what shall a lady do if someone is trying to harm her or take advantage of her? Let them do whatever they want and hope some knight from stories will come and help her or defend herself. Are you saying women are not as strong as men are? Visenya Targaryen fought beside her brother during conquest, Before that Nymeria led her people and conquered the whole of Dorne, If anything women are stronger than men" by the end of her rant she had gained the attention of all the ladies and after she finished nearly all the ladies applauded
