Margaery POV
Finally, we are free of the tyranny of the Lannisters. It seems just in time as well as Cersei has placed herself in control again after the mysterious death of her uncle. Three husbands in the space of about a year: Renly (mine and Loras's love ), Joffrey ( the mad king ) and Tommen ( the puppet king ). My poor tommen stuck with that bitch of a mother. The boy adores me and I use this to my advantage. I told tommen the truth about his parentage and when I left he was in tears. the poor child. At least I am out of the lion's den, so to speak. Now I am as free as a rose in summer. I walk into the war room and am beheld with a sight.: my family ( mace, Willas, Garlan, Loras and Olenna ), Randyll Tarly and Paxter Redwyne sitting side by side with Doran, Arianne and Trystane Martell along with little Myrcella Baratheon ( who looks like her heart has fallen out.)
Gallant Garlan smiles at me and pulls up a chair for me to sit next to him. I smile kindly. Mace clears his throat and says " we are just discussing an alliance with the Martells here, dear Margaery" they nod in welcome, solemn as I have heard. The moon, and hopefully the gods, are smiling down at us. " dramatic times " I say . "quite! " Loras pipes. The clang of the kitchens echoes in the distance, preparing the welcome feast. I smile at myrcella who flinches, Trystane puts an arm around her which seems to remove the feral look in her eyes. Poor girl. Sadly, she must be kept hostage. No matter her age.
" How are the 7 kingdoms looking, farther ?" asks Willas. He looks extremely fidgety, at least Oberyn is dead and cannot harm him. Stannis is marching from the wall against the Boltons in Winterfell. Traitor scum. I don't know who I want to win the kinslayer or the traitorous, torturous Boltons. Thinking of Winterfell reminds me of dear Sansa who is currently in the vale with petyr baelish. I hope she is ok. She has been through so much with Joffrey, her father, her brother and Cersei. Anyway, there is nothing new from Cersei, Daenerys Targaryen is missing and the apparent Aegon Targaryen is sailing to Dorne with Jon Connington in tow.
Doran seems to perk at this and makes a big fuss that he shall only agree to support him for the iron throne should he truly be Aegon and prove a worthy king of Westeros. Upon this, we ally. We shall unite : Dorne and Highgarden and eventually march against Cersei Lannister and place Aegon on the throne should he prove worthy. Look at us getting along. willas mentions the lord commander of the night's watch is marching to aid Stannis. Jon Snow, the bastard of Winterfell. Doran grits his teeth shakes our hands then leaves with the other Martells and Myrcella. " What is his problem?" willas asks. " There is a claim that this Snow boy is the son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen . The 2 married. anyway, it would mean Jon has the best claim to the iron throne and naturally they dislike
Lyanna stark. Naturally, they are anxious should he claim the throne.`` Olenna tells us.
Either way we are growing strong.
