Cersei Baratheon walked along the walls of the Stark House castle as she looked at the city surrounding the castle that made up the city of Winterfell, she didn't think that the north was so orderly, it was much cleaner than King's Landing, the people even seemed kinder, but as expected the stares were there. Eddard GreyStark told them not to be offended by the looks, the Northerners did not trust the Southerners it was that simple, but still they would always treat them with respect if they did the same, but something caught his attention, Lady Stark was being surrounded by several boys and girls, her guards were not doing anything they were just staring and even they were being surrounded by girls who were talking to the boys, that did not happen in King's Landing, the royal guards were very serious and were capable of hitting anyone who approached the king or queen, there was no such closeness of ruler with his people, it did not bother him either, but it was curious how here that did not matter much, he saw how Margaery received a necklace of flowers from the girls, who said goodbye to her, then return to their mothers.
Margaery had a huge smile on her face, and even more when she realized that Cersei saw all this, the girls adore her, they all wanted to be as beautiful as her or the Valkyries. So there was always that approach, but now it served a lot to get the queen's attention more, Margaery saw Cersei and did not see a queen, she saw a noble, but not a queen, she looked so fragile, just by looking at her look I thought that she is just like her father, that he is just as manipulative and intelligent, but it was not like that. Cersei hated being surpassed, she hated that there was a more beautiful, intelligent, or capable person, she is someone who lets herself be influenced by negative emotions, such as anger or envy, Which for Margaery was synonymous with instant manipulation. Militarily Margaery was not a great contribution to the North, but she knew how to defend herself, she never liked the idea of being the damsel in distress, but obviously, she did not have the level of training that the Valkyries had, but she was not useless, but her greatest contribution to the North is at the political level, she had something that no one else had, she manipulated you making you think that you had the power.
There was a big difference between Harry and her when it came to politics, Harry's presence alone was intimidating, his serious and analytical look always said that he was attentive to any move, and he analyzed his rivals so that they themselves would make mistakes, Margaery on the other hand was different, she always had a smile on her face, and an attitude that seemed to be not dangerous at all, that made her connect with anyone and made that person think that she was on their side with her words or body language. So right now she had Cersei's complete attention, it was the exact moment to attack, so she walked straight to the castle, where Cersei would surely be trying to find something to distract herself since she had already had a certain argument with her husband and then her father reproached her for something, those were two points that she had to attack. In what way, a simple one, making her believe that she was a strong woman for putting up with this type of people, Harry said it when she hit Robert she said a simple sentence that opened the doors for him "I don't understand how you put up with him." Those simple words were the exact ones to attack, so when he touched the castle he went directly to where Cersei was watching some children playing.
-"It's always beautiful to see the smile of children playing." - Margaery caught Cersei's attention and she turned around to see the newcomer, Margaery had a smile and a kind look, she didn't even seem to create danger - "We couldn't talk before, but I wanted to meet you, my name is Margaery Stark, it's an honor." - Margaery swallowed her pride and made a small bow, she didn't want that, but it was needed to continue with the plan, you always have to make sacrifices - "I hope you're not upset, because of the scene my husband made."-
-"Don't worry about Robert, he didn't do his part to fix things either." - Cersei looked at Margaery and gave her a smile, that was what she was looking for, she saw how Cersei looked at the children again with a smile - "I even dare to say that he deserved it."-
-"Of course he deserved it, Harry is aware of his situation with your husband." – Margaery took Cersei's hand, so that she would look at her again, one of the important things in this, was that Cersei saw her in the eyes and could say that she had her complete support, she was on her side – "I don't know if it bothers you, but if Robert leaves the castle heading to a brothel, Harry will castrate him," – That undoubtedly put doubt on Cersei's face – "Harry says, that if a man betrays the one he trusts by closing his eyes and sleeping with another by his side, you are not worthy of anyone's trust... that is why the lords of the North have to think twice before betraying their wives."-
-"Pretending to have a nice marriage is hard, but I'm the queen, they can't see me wrong." – Cersei had a smile, but her eyes showed sadness, Margaery grabbed Cersei's arm, and invited her to walk, something the queen didn't expect but didn't refuse either, something that implied that Margaery was doing things right, in making Cersei vent.
-"I don't understand how you put up with him, an idiot husband, and a father that I can't define as a father." – Margaery saw Cersei's half smile who didn't say a single word, she just kept walking in step with Margaery – "You're a tough woman, but there are times when you need to vent." – It was understandable, simple words, that make it seem like she felt a little sorry, but at the same time make Cersei feel that Margaery admired her – "I admire you, and maybe we barely know each other, but this little talk, you can use to vent." - Margaery released Cersei to start walking down some stairs – "It could even be the beginning of a friendship."-
Meeting room
This room was completely different from the room where the meetings between the Northern Lords and Harry always took place, it was more for guests from other kingdoms, and without a doubt, it was a place where a heated discussion was taking place right now. Robert Baratheon had the stupid idea that Harry was going to allow Lyanna Stark, his sister, to marry a person like Joffrey, who at eleven years old was already unbearable, it was something extremely stupid and not only was Harry not going to allow that, the entire North was against that stupid union. Jon was the most interested in all this right now, with Joffrey's union with Lyanna, the crown was going to have complete control of the North, and Harry was going to have to listen to anything he asked if he didn't want his sister to have a little accident, although Jon was playing with fire, for now the only ones who spoke at the meeting were Robert, Jon and Harry, the latter refusing all the conditions that these two people tried to make, the others present listened attentively, especially Tywin Lannister, who was against that marriage, not for Lyanna's sake, but for the sake of his house, Joffrey was someone unstable.
-"I'll repeat it again, Lyanna is not marrying your idiot son." – Harry looked at Robert who didn't even use his head for anything, it didn't matter if he was king, he wasn't going to be able to force anything, he knew perfectly well that even if he brags that that union will happen, it will never happen.
- "What is it that you find hard to accept this marriage? You accepted Tommen's marriage to Arya, why not my son's and your sister's? She could become queen."- Robert stood up from his chair, banging the table. Up to this point, the little negotiation was going nowhere. Harry was insulting Joffrey, showing the great contempt he had for Robert's firstborn, something that made Jon happy since this could influence Robert to, by royal order, remove the leadership of House Stark from Harry and give it to Ned. -"Unlike you, he was raised by Tyrion and Tywin, Tyrion doesn't sleep with just any woman as you do, Tywin still respects his late wife to this day, and he didn't marry any woman out of respect for her." - Harry stood up from the chair looking angrily at Robert, something he couldn't stand about the supposed king was his stupidity, he saw every woman as a prize if his beloved aunt was still alive, she was going to suffer the same as Cersei, that was for sure - "I'm sure that Tommen being raised far from her will respect Arya, not like your bastard who from afar is clearly the same trash as his father."-
-"I demand that you address me and my son with respect, I am your king, and he will be your next king!" - It was Robert's shout that they were sure could be heard even outside the room. Robert raised his voice so loud, that it denoted how angry he was at this moment, because of Harry's repeated denials and insults towards his son and himself.
-"A king who owes me an immense amount of gold, a king who owes me so much that his own brothers wish to remove him from the throne, that crown, as well as that throne, belong more to me than to you!" – Harry did not stay behind and raised his voice, in the same way as Robert, Harry did not fear him, King's Landing can be easily destroyed with a shower of cannon fire, with that, the crown will fall easily – "You are lucky that my aunt is dead, because if you treated her like you treat Cersei, I would have executed you a long time ago, and no one in Westeros would be able to stop me until I forced you to swallow your balls."-
-"The crown is in no position to demand anything from House Stark right now." - Tywin stepped in to address this, the golden lion was going to come out in favor of the wolf because that was what currently suited him, Jon came to his senses when he realized that Tywin already had a plan, something that was not to his benefit - "So trying to impose a marriage without benefit, and adding to the table that Joffrey is intolerant, makes sense of the denial of Lord Stark." - Robert looked angrily at Tywin who didn't even care about that look, at any moment the deer could have an accident on one of his hunts - "We must also not forget that no kingdom supports Joffrey as future king, after what happened with the cat."-
Joffrey grew up a spoiled and enraged child with a cruel streak within him, Robert never questioned the boy's paternity but it is clear that he was disappointed in his "son" and had little affection for Joffrey for his attitude even though he was still his heir to the throne. As a child, Joffrey killed a pregnant cat, slicing open its belly with a dagger to reveal the kittens inside. He showed one of the fetuses to his father, Robert, who was shocked and enraged, hitting Joffrey so hard that he knocked out two of his baby teeth, even before his younger brother Tommen went to Casterly Rock he was always bullied and harassed by his older brother. Tywin did not want him on the throne because he would be intolerant, even if he assumed the position of king's hand, Joffrey was going to do a lot of stupid things because he was going to believe himself untouchable and nobody in the world was untouchable, not even a little deer who wanted to be a lion and did not even have the manhood to face people, because Joffrey was a coward, one who always hid in the skirt of his father who held the title of king.
Training camp
Jaime looked at the castle's burial place with great surprise, it was a place that was more prepared than any he had seen so far, there were all kinds of weapons, axes, maces, spears, bows, swords, even whips, he had never seen people fight with whips, but they were undoubtedly impressive. So instead of listening to Robert's screams, he came to this place to distract himself, he was not going to be able to go with his sister either since she was accompanied by Lady Stark, so he came to this place where he undoubtedly felt comfortable, children practicing with wooden swords, it was logical since that prevented incense accidents, but then a fight caught his attention, they were two women, he recognized them because they were the ones next to Lord Stark. He saw how one of them grabbed an axe from the ground and threw it at her opponent who grabbed a round wooden shield, a very peculiar one. That undoubtedly caught Jaime's attention, and the fact that no one tried to stop this fight since it was noticeable that both wanted to kill each other, was certainly not normal, so he approached to get a better view.
Mya and Artemisia had another of their many fights over who was the strongest captain, Mya stopped being a Persian and became a Valkyrie, while Artemisia was the only female captain in the Persians. Although they were captains in different areas since Artemisia was in charge of the sea with the ship that could be said to be the most powerful in the north, Silent Mary, while Mya was a captain on land, with 35,000 soldiers at her disposal who were divided into Persians, Vikings, and Valkyries. Vikings and Valkyries should not be confused, Vikings could only come from the people who were formerly called savages, while Valkyries could enter women from any part of the north. That made the two captains every time they challenged each other, end up in a fight, pointless for many and as a bet for others, as was the case of Barbossa and Jack who were drinking while these girls were killing each other, it was lucky that Ashara was not there or she would recriminate their attitudes, which were not appropriate for a captain. Jones watched the fight, but he was not going to stop them, it was not his job to do so, he only watched so that no one tried to make an idiot of themselves at this time, as was the case with Jaime Lannister.
-"If I were you, I would just watch." - Jones gave his warning to the knight, who nodded and sat down, apparently the boy understood that he did not have to get into a fight where no one was doing anything, Mya's physical superiority was noticeable from miles away, but Artemisia had speed and great agility, so everyone saw how with a whip Artemisia was strangling Mya who wanted to grab a hand.
-"I don't understand, why doesn't she attack, the whip is around her neck and she goes the other way with one hand?" - Jaime looked at this absurd scene, Mya could attack her opponent, since she had the logical one wrapped around her neck, Jones didn't even deign to answer, since Mya grabbed the mallet and held the whip tightly so that Artemisia couldn't do anything.
Artemisia was forced to let go of her whip and more when Mya threw the mace at her, the brunette covered herself with a shield, but it broke when the mace hit, it was normal, the blow was very strong for the brunette who fell to the ground from the impact, Mya always showed off her physical strength although she was not a big woman and like many Vikings who were huge, but Artemisia was not someone who gave up so easily and less against her sister who grabbed a spear like her, in their fight there were no more shields to protect themselves, they were all destroyed by Mya's intense attacks. And although there were weapons scattered on the ground, the two were going for their favorite weapons to end this fight, but just then an arrow fell in front of the two. The two girls looked at the arrow, it was a practice arrow since it was not sharp enough to kill a person, yes to injure them minimally but not to kill them. Ashara Stark made an appearance with her daughter Lyanna who had a bow in her hand, implying that she launched the arrow, Barbossa and Jack upon seeing Ashara stood firm and threw their respective drinks, Mya and Artemisia dropped their weapons and looked at their mother who was very upset.
-"You are not children anymore to be making this kind of absurd spectacle." – Ashara looked at her two adopted daughters who nodded, it was always the same when they started to argue, she no longer knew who started the fight, but the reason did not matter, there was always a small word that started an argument between the two of them – "Not only do you have the last name Stark, you are also captains and role models for many girls, even your sister has better behavior than you two."-
-"SsheiAyeehHaaah HatehhHaa SshhhhSsssSheaAyeehHassey." – Everyone stared at Lyanna who had a smile on her face, Mya and Artemisia perfectly understood what the little Stark said with a smile on her face, Parseltongue, a language or way of speaking that Harry taught Mya and Artemisia for fun and that they took very seriously in learning, and now Lyanna out of nowhere knew how to speak Parseltongue. Showing again why Lyanna was a female version of her older brother.
Although the moment was comical, it was only part of a plan, Margaery getting Cersei's attention, Harry's argument with Robert, to get Tywin involved, Jaime being interested in the fight, to get him away from his sister, it was all planned, and Ashara Stark's smile only implied that the stag and the lion were slowly entering the mouth of a very hungry wolf.
