  ---------------------------------------

  Pessoa Thrid POV

  Westeros, 295 AC.

  ---------------------------------------

  "They are finally leaving..." Margaery ented, looking from her baly alongside her grandmother.

  "Yes... it seems uests have really left..." Olenna remarked. "Is this the st time we will see him?" Olenna asked calmly, while Margaery seemed a bit affected by this.

  "What's wrong... Don't tell me you've fallen for that boy..." Olenna spoke with an inquiring tone.

  "It's... No!" Margaery responded.

  "Don't e at me with that, Margaery, I know you're attracted to Jon Artid I 't bme you, not when his visit was full of highs and lows, with him winning the tour, sying those who challenged him, and defending his wife, the royal guard is still in a a, and will wake up to the hat he will no longer be able to see with one of his eyes," Olenna ented calmly.

  "Tell me... will I have a husband like Seryna?" She didn't hesitate to ask, Margaery may not have met Jon's sed wife, who returo the kingdom, but she certainly looked at Seryna with a certain envy... She had a ruthless husbae his young age and was still a smart and strong queen from what she could talk, even the knowledge that Seryna and Arya had, surpassed any noble dy, equaling with a maester, sometimes they even talked among themselves in a different nguage without anyone knowing what they were whispering to one another.

  "I know she is a lucky woman..." Olenna admitted. "But remember, you will have somethier than disputing a throne beyond the wall with other wives... who are already expeg a child from the Arctig. The Iron Throne, my dear. That's all that matters," Olenna said with a more serious tohan usual while Margaery the end.

  "Yes, Grandma, I will be the queen of Westeros," she said, regaining her fidence while looking firmly at Olenna.

  "That's what I wao hear... The Iron Throne will be better than any ice you would find in the north, girl. You will be the greatest queeeros has ever seen and will bring our family to the highest point of its history," Olenna said with a firm tone, not g about whom she would marry, but how she would take the Iron Throhrough the marriage of the fool she would bring to bed.

  Margaery nodded, after all, this was also her own desire to bee a queen, as much as her heart had been divided by passion and duty, she would choose what she grew up learning.

  Even though Jon didn't seem to care much for her beauty, she had been amazed by everything he had done since he arrived and his charm. "What you feel now is just passion, something that will soon cool off with time," Olenna told her granddaughter to learn.

  After her granddaughter o her, Olenna spoke again. "Now, let's talk with your brothers, after all, we have a long versation with them," Olenna said, starting to leave the baly, followed by Margaery, entering the castle and going to a room where Wils, Garn, and even Loras, were waiting for them. As they entered, with the looks from Margaery's brothers, Olenna sat down calmly at the table for her grandchildren.

  "Well, let's begin then. I would even call your father, but the fool wouldn't help at all in this meeting, so let's talk among ourselves," Olenna spoke, while the Tyrell brothers nodded.

  "To start, we learned many things about our visitors. First, we found an ideal match for Wils to bee the lord of Highgarden..." She ented, as Wils raised an eyebrow, since his grandmother had instructed him to court this same woman i few days.

  "It's not just us who saw this, many nobles are also ied in the girl... I'm sure that soon, Winterfell will be raining ravens with marriage proposals for Lord Stark," she passed before tinuing. "But there's also ahing we must analyze before asking for a marriage between Wils and Arya, after all, we have Sansa Stark too... and putting her in a marriage with Wils would be even more advantageous politically for us, after all, that would open up the royal marriage for us. Arya may have shown herself to be a very intelligent woman and perhaps someone could have led our family with Wils, having so muowledge and skills, but putting Sansa as the dy of Highgarde seem bad either, after all, we would take her out of the possible marriage between Sansa Stark and Joffrey Baratheon," she said calmly while the others listetentively.

  "Arya couldn't be set to marry the prihen?" Wils asked.

  "That's true... However, I have a way to get the best of both worlds... to have Arya marry Wils and at the same time, deny Sansa's marriage to the prince..." Olenna spoke.

  "How would that be, Grandma?" Margaery asked curiously.

  "That's a little secret of this old dy, but to achieve this, I will have to talk personally with ark. So, we will have to wait a bit longer..." Olenna ented with a small smile.

  "Grandma, the things that happened here today will soon reach King's Landing, don't you think some things might ge?" Garn was the one who ehis time.

  "You are absolutely right, they will hear about the Arti pany soon... but speaking of which, it is strange. We haven't received any more ravens from King's Landing or Oldtown, where they are always eager to speak with us... but anyway, let's wait and see what the king thinks of all this," Olenna ented.

  She then looked back at her desk, where the tracts were, "Even though it's been a bit turbulent, with the visit of the Artis we certainly gained from it. Besides him spending over a million gold s with us, although a rge part of that was ours," Olenna spoke with a darker tohis time, wanting to curse her son for the folly of betting 200,000 gold s on a game like a blind fool. "I'm sure their products will also be quite popur all over Westeros and now we have trol of them iire kingdom. I just hope nothing happens that we have to cel this," she ented.

  Garn spht after. "I would also not like to make enemies of him. Grandma, those giants, and from what I've heard, there are many of them in his army. We would be screwed on a battlefield fighting against those things," he didn't fail to ent.

  "That's not a worry, my grandson. When, and if, we possibly go tainst them, which I find very unlikely, we will have much more than any army they could muster from that desert beyond the wall," Olenna spoke with a mog tone.

  She then turo her only grandson who had said nothing. "And what does the prihink of all this, Loras?" She asked.

  "..." Loras was silent for a while... seemiant to speak.

  "Are you still angry about losing the tour? Or are you jealous?" Olenna said with Loras turning gloomy.

  "It's not that, Grandma..." He spoke, but he was frustrated... first for losing the tour and jealous over the level of attention Renly was giving Jon Artiot that Jon was ied in a man, as Jon found Renly excessively annoying with his friendly posture to a point that seemed forced, but for Loras, it etty jealousy.

  "Stop this foolishness and answer my question," Olenna said with a more demanding tone, and Loras nodded quickly.

  "The prince sees Jon Artica as a great ally, he even says that although he lost nds on the coast in his kingdom to the Artis, he still gained a closer ally too. He believes that Jon would support him in any cim to the Iron Throne..." He spoke despite not liking these words.

  "Ahinks he will succeed...?" Olenna asked.

  "He's saying there are strong indications that the queen's childre Baratheons... but he still has no proof and doesn't know who the father is yet..." Loras spoke at that closed meeting.

  "That's sdalous!" Garn choked while Wils frowned and Margaery covered her mouth.

  "..." Olenna seemed thoughtful then decided to speak. "If it's true as proof, I'm sure that Renly would be the best maty granddaughter..." She spoke, sihe fool is so easy to manipute that he would be a perfect puppet for the Tyrells, meanwhile Margaery looked surprised at this and hough she was uneasy with the idea of sharing a future husband with her brother.

  "I want you to stay alert to all this and inform us... but for that we will have to wait for the current king to die somehow... but the way he drinks and prostitutes himself... it's very likely that this will happen soon..." She spoke.

  They tialking a bit more, mainly about logistid about the stru Jon had givehe blueprints for—they were to build warehouses to store id products.

  Loras returo Renly's room ter, while the tter was eating grapes he window. "Prince Renly..." Lreeted.

  "Loras..." Renly murmured, smiling and looked towards the window. "You know, you still see the giants from here..." Wils ented, watg the Arti group disappearing on the horizon.

  "Do you think we trust them?" Loras asked cautiously.

  "I'm not absolutely sure, but I am fident... we will form an uable alliance... I might even offer Winterfell to him, and put Artica above my own too..." Renly spoke dreamily, if Jon heard this, he would punch Renly in the face for the tasteless joke.

  "..." Loras remained silent.

  Renly spoke again, looking at Loras this time. "Any news from King's Landing?" he asked.

  "No, my prince... we haven't had ravens for over 5 days..." He spoke as Renly nodded. He had sent some letters to King's Landing, while in a distant part of the castle, a raven eeding towards Highgarden, with a symbol of King's Landing on its feet, tinuing as it already spotted the castle nding on it.

  However, everything seemed normal when it was caught by a sudden thud as a bird grabbed it with its cws ae the raven's protests, it was killed shortly after, holding it to take to another location while dropping its body in a pce that would not be found and the eagle picked up the cord with its beak, bringing it to Jon the moment.

  He saw the approach of one of his two birds while mounting his wolf, as it paid him by the arm showing the scroll in its beak, and he smiled at it. "You did very well," Jon smiled after seeing its memories while stroking the eagle, before taking the scroll.

  He unrolled it and began to read it after breaking the seal, it was a message from King's Landing about the order to put Jon Artid his group of men into custody at the castle, a foolish pn, but they tried...

  "These guys are persistent, this is the fourth letter i few days. Seems they already expected them to be intercepted," Jon mocked softly. He saw that the letter also mentioned a group of soldiers with a guard also ing. Jon would like to see them try to stop his group.

  "Anything we should worry about, my king?" his royal guard spoke beside him.

  "Tell them we'll have someoo kill!" Tormund shouted nearby, wanting some kind of a.

  "Maybe, if they mao catch us by the end of this path, then we'll have to wait... It's good that we've already mao load the ships with the horses we bought and more thousands of animals that were pced days ago and are already moving out to the middle of the fleet at sea... We will now have little time to a Hightower, so we'll see what they're capable of," Jon mocked again with his pn.

  "My king, what about the letter you let that child write?" the guard asked.

  "Well, we should inform some things, sihey have been without muunication for a long time, they might suspeething is wrong. So, I left that letter of what happened for the spy. Let's see what Varys will say in the meeting and how they will react to everything that happened..." Jon ented, since King's Landing had been out of the loop about what was happening in Highgarden for more than a week. It would be iing to pass on some information.

  "And the maesters of Oldtown, Jon? Do they know we are ing there?" Seryna asked, a bit worried.

  "No, I sent my birds into the sky and they shot down all the ravens. I want to surprise them with an ued visit. So, we'll see how the maesters will receive us," Jon said, crag a smile.

  He had the power to trol all unication, if he wao, and a war without accurate information was a lost war. He would not let more ravens out as happened with Sunspear, where it began the versation of the maesters with the order.

  They tiheir way, and for the few days, a group with a royal guard, Ser Jaime Lannister, appeared on the road near Highgarden, startling all patrols and nobles passing through, while Jaime himself paid them no heed and headed straight for the castle.

  "What is this?!" The Tyrells asked in surprise, and Renly Baratheon was the one who received them in the middle of the courtyard, curious about why a royal guard was ing here and what he was doing there without any annou from King's Landing.

  Jaime approached as he saw Renly, standing there in the middle of the pce, stopped his horse, dismounted, and bowed to Prince Renly, along with all the other soldiers who came from King's Landing.

  "Ser Jaime Lannister. How ued! What are you doing here?" Renly greeted with a smile while Jaime frow that.

  "Didn't you receive the letters we sent here?" Jaime asked, still frowning, as they should have been aware of his presence.

  "I think not..." Renly looked fusedly at Jaime.

  "There's an order ing," Jaime said, as Wils approached Renly, looking fused.

  "We haven't received aers, Ser Jaime..." Wils came up beside and spoke.

  "That's impossible. There is an order to arrest Jon Snow and take him for trial in King's Landing!" he stated, and this immediately silehe entire pce.

  Ser Jaime harbored a certain aowards the Starks, so he did not care to be respectful towards what he sidered a wild king and even though the order referred to Jon as Artid not Snow.

  "Jon Artica? Why? What is the accusation for him to be arrested and tried?" Renly was surprised by this and looked fused, as he was not aware of anything that could bel him as a criminal.

  "The Arti ships attacked numerous mert ships in the Vale. The king demands his presence for a trial to find out what happened and to ask for pensation," Ser Jaime said.

  "Sorry, Ser Jaime , but Jon Artica left days ago after cluding all the trade tracts here," Wils was the one who spoke, and Jaime looked grim.

  "That's not possible, only if he himself shot down the ravens with the order," Jaime muttered. "Let's go after them. If he left a few days ago, he must not have reached the coast yet," Jaime ordered his men and quickly left before anyone could stop him, mounted his horse, aed.

  This left everyo the location fused. Not even Renly could stop Ser Jaime , despite being the prince, as this was the order of the king himself. He wao get this over with before returning to King's Landing and being beside the woman he loves, again.

  A raven that Jon had released, a spy of Varys, departed i few days for King's Landing, and it finally arrived iy on this very day, heading for the Red Castle and nding on the window of a man who was reading some scrolls from other ravens. Varys approached the raven, which exhibited none of the odd behavior he noted in others tely, and took the scroll from its leg and ope before starting to read.

  He read the tent and saw that it really was his spy in Highgarden, with whom he had no ta the st week. And when he read, he was somewhat shocked by what he saw. He immediately left his offid went to the Hand's Tower, calling Jon Arryn to inform him about what is happening in the Reach.

  The man listeo him ahe letter a momehe with a summons for an urgent cil meeting, which happened shortly afterward. All cil members were summoned and were heading to the meeting room.

  Even the king was informed, and Jon Arryn used words that attracted the king, mentioning that Ned's son participated in a jousting tour in Highgarden and won. If he wao know the details, he would have to attend the meeting as well. Curious to know what Ned's son had dohe king quickly got out of bed, dismissed the prostitutes aside, and followed to the meeting room. They would soon have the meeting about what happened i few days in that Kingdom.
