Margaery

Aegon Chose Margaery Tyrell As His Second Bride, Thus Increasing The One Hundred and Five Thousand Men From The Stormlands and and Westerlands, To A Two Hundred and Five Thousand Men Strong Alliance. Aegon Persuaded Rhaenys That Marrying Tyrion Was Better Than Marrying Jamie Lannister, and Said That Since Both Of Them We Horny Fuckers They Could Fuck Anybody and None Would Care. Aegon Was Affronted By The Starks However, Or, At Least By Robb Stark, Who Had Revealed His Marriage To Lady Jeyne Westerling. Aegon Was Quite Furious With The Development and Demanded House Stark and House Westerling Come To Kingslanding To Explain The Outrage.

Aegon Had Offered The House Stark A Targaryen Princess, Only For Them To Agree and Then Wed A House Westerling Whore. Naturally The Matter Was Serious Enough For Aegon To Threaten War, and House Westerling and Lord Stark Arrived Quickly, But Where The Westerling's Brought A Minimum Household Guard, The Starks Brought An Army. Eighteen Thousand Men and Cavalry, But No Siege Engines. Aegon Was More Upset, More Upset Than His Mother Could Have Imagined. Margaery Offered To Plead Her Father To Call His Banners and Bring Them South, Knowing That He Would Do So For The Honor Of His Daughter and House, and To Improve Royal Relations. Agon Agreed, But Asked Her To Inform her Father, That Aegon Wanted No Battle Or Military Engagement, The Reach Armies Would Serve As A Position of Strength and Buffer From Northern Retaliation.

So This Was How Aegon Came To Be Seated Outside Kingslanding, Seated At A Parley Table With Lord Stark and Lord Westerling. Daenerys and Dowager Queen Lyanna By His Side. "Do You Understand The Insult Your Boy Has Dealt House Targaryen, My Aunt, and Me Personally?" Says Aegon, Straining His Voice To Keep It Even. "I Do, and I Take Full Responsibility For His Actions." Says Stark. "Ned, He Chose A Westerlands Noble Over A Royal Family Member, The Fact They Aren't Of Exceptional Quality, Doesn't Help Our Situation." Says Lyanna. "I Should Kill Your Son For This, But I'd Be Hanged By My Mother. So I Can Only See Two Possible Outcomes From This. One, You Get Your Boy To Set The Bitch Aside Or We Go To War. Then There's The Second Option, Two Marriage Pacts, Refuse One Or Both, and I Hang You From Your Walls." Says Aegon.

"I've No Desire To Go To War Again, But I Won't Dishonor My Son Or His Family. What Do You Want?" Says Stark. "You've Two Daughters Of Marrying Age, and As I Understand It, Lady Margaery Has An Unwed Brother, and As Mother Informs Me, Trystane Is Still Unwed. Sansa Will Wed Willas Tyrell, and, Arya Will Wed Trystane." Says Aegon. "Agreed." Says Lord Stark. "Also, Alys Karstark, Will Wed Lancel Lannister, and Dacey Mormont Martyn Lannister." Says Aegon. "I'll Speak To Maege and Rickard, But Agreed." Says Stark. "One Last, Matter, Robin Arryn Will Become Betrothed To Daenerys In Robb's Stead, and Will Be Sent To Kingslanding To Become My Page and Squire Alongside Your Son Bran." Says Aegon. "Catelyn Will Speak To Lysa, and I'll Talk To Her, But.....Agreed." Says Stark. "Good, This Could've Been Much Different Lord Stark, Robb Could've Given The Stark's Greater Say In Royal Decisions, The North Could've Prospered. But By Marrying A Lesser Noblewoman, He's Destroyed That Chance. As For You Lot, Pray Tywin Doesn't Make You Less Than The Current Status Of Houses Reyne and Tarbeck." Says Aegon As He Gets Up and Leaves. Aegon Stops At The Last Moment. "You Claim To Be Honorable, Yet Your Boy Doesn't Do The Same? What My Father Saw In House Stark I'll Never Know." Says Aegon.

Aegon Sat At The Table, Eating Dinner, As Robin Arryn Looked Longingly At Daenerys Rather Than Eat His Food. Daenerys Was Giving Aegon The Brunt Of Her Discomfort, and Bran Stark Sat Between The Two Betrothed Nobles Awkwardly. As For The Others, Elia and Lyanna Sat Beside Daenerys and Bran Respectively, and Myrcella and Margaery Beside Aegon. Aegon Was Enjoying A Nice Leg Of Lamb, Which Had Been Prepared With Spices From Dorne, Qarth, and Pentos. He Drank A Cup Of Arbor Gold, and Had A Few Strips Of Crispy Bacon and Two Poached Eggs. Margaery Feasted On Stuffed Pheasant and Dornish Red, Whereas Myrcella Ate A Modest Meal Of Filleted Fish and Onion and Turnip Stew. Because She'd Only Recently Turned Eight and Teen Years Of Age, Aegon Had Given Her A Diluted Cup Of Arbor Red.

"Brandon, I Understand From Jaehaerys, That You Desire To Become The First Northern Knight Of The Kingsguard? You Understand, That To Do That, You'd Need To Convert To The Seven?" Says Aegon. "I Do." He Says Bravely. "No, I Don't Think You Do." Says Aegon Perceptively. "What?" Asks Bran. "I Was Raised As A Believer Of The Seven, Just Like You and Every Stark Since The Age Of Heroes Has Been A Believer Of The Old Gods Of The Forest. But Frankly, I Don't Believe As Others Do. I Doubt, Because There's No True Faith, Without Doubt. Doubt In The Divine, Doubt In The Unbelievable, It Keeps You Centred." Says Aegon. "So What Are You Saying?" Says Bran. "You'll Understand, The Day You Take Your Oath of Chivalry and Integrity. But Personally, What Gods A Man Believes Are His Choice, Me? I'm Something Of A Religious Maverick. When I Think Of The Seven, I Think Of The Stranger, But When I Think of The Stranger? It Raises A Question, The Braavosi Assassin's Guild, The Faceless Men, Worship A Deity Of ****, Called The God Of Many Faces, and Whose To Say, That The Lord Of Light, The Drowned God, Or The Other Singular Deities Aren't Aspects Of The Stranger, The God Of Many Faces?" Says Aegon. "I Never Thought Of It Like That.'' Says Bran. "Few Men Do, Bran. Few Men Do." Says Aegon.

"I'm Not Feeling Well, I'm Going To Bed." Says Daenerys, As She Can bear Robin Arryn's Attentions No Longer. "I'll Accompany You." Says Robin Quickly and Eagerly. "No! I Want To Be Alone." Says Dany Firmly. Once She's Gone, Aegon Notices The Look Elia Gives Him, Shrugs, and Motions For The Kingsguard To Ensure Daenerys Doesn't Get Younger Company. Aegon Finds The Whole Thing Tiring. "You Two Finish Your Meals, and Brandons Aunt Lyanna Will Take You To Your Separate Rooms. For Now, I Have A Date With A Myrish Beauty." Says Aegon.
