[ His fingers linger on a piece. Never a safer third. He hears the truth on it, though it is bitter on his lips. ]

They will never see you coming.

[partialities]

[ would that the world could be sweeter and those who lose the game may not lose their heads and the lives of those most precious to them. but that sort of world only exists in children's tales and songs and margaery knows better than to try and pretend her world excels in kindness or compassion.

it should. as a queen, she will strive to encourage those. she would have to with a king like joffrey ]

I am only the Rose of Highgarden, my lord. I trust I shall make a good wife to the king, supportive and sweet.

[precedented]

[ His lips twitch, as if he's enjoying an unseen joke. ]

I am sure.

[ He continues on. ]

I can teach you how to best to hold and throw a knife. I can even teach you a hidden art. We call it the Voice or the Weirding Way. By training your voice, you can command men to kneel or sweeten the pot so they see nothing else.

Some of these talents you already possess, but I can help you hone them.

[partialities]

[ and margaery's smile sharpens for a moment, acknowledging the unseen truth between them regarding her ambitions ]

it sounds almost like magic. I imagine you are more than a little proficient in such an art?

[precedented]

I am the best at it.

[ No bragging, just a blunt statement of fact. ]

I will teach you. I tend to prefer women on iron thrones rather than men.

[partialities]

Why.

[ she moves her piece, arches an eyebrow ]

is it because women are smarter or less cruel?

[precedented]

[ Hm. He considers this, thoughtful. ]

They are, certainly. But perhaps it is more than I find that they consider peace as more than a childish dream.

[partialities]

There was peace for many years in my realm, held by kings and princesses who rode dragons but the last one - they named him the Mad King and the realm rebelled against him. There was a long war and now another house holds the Iron Throne and without the dragon-kings all bowed to -

[ they were all led to robert's death and after that to the war of the five kings ]

I suppose now nearly everyone would want to be king.

[precedented]

[ Softly. ]

My father won the Golden throne against his enemies. But no peace came. Only more plots and deceit. Keeping a throne and winning one are very different realities.

[partialities]

And yourself, my Lord?

[ she looks up from the board ]

will you keep the peace in your realm?

[precedented]

I will. That is my pledge.

[ It will be a peace that will last centuries. A stifling peace. ]

[partialities]

Mayhaps we shall both succeed where others have failed, my Lord.

[ she smiles ]

and keep the throne and our people safe.

[precedented]

[ He laughs softly. For him, it was assured. ]

I shall wish you all the best then, my lady.
