"True knights would never harm women and children." The words rang hollow in her ears even as she said them.

"True knights." The queen seemed to find that wonderfully amusing. "No doubt you’re right. So why don’t you just eat your broth like a good girl and wait for Symeon Star-Eyes and Prince Aemon the Dragonknight to come rescue you, sweetling. I’m sure it won’t be very long now."

#cersei lannister is better than you #but the thing is #margaery is armored #she’s just armored in wispy silks and bright smiles #she’s armored with the love of the people #cersei can’t understand #because she’s jaime#armor will always be metal to her #it will always be hard and golden and meant to protect from a sword’s blows #but margaery will always have others stand in the sword’s path for her #because she’s never wanted to weild a sword #she’s never needed to

The prince is going to be my husband, she had thought, giddy with excitement, and when the old king dies I’ll be the queen. It’s the only thing I’ve ever wanted.

I was to be sold to some stranger like a horse, to be ridden whenever my new owner liked, beaten whenever he liked.

Sing little bird, sing for your little life.

All she wanted was for things to be nice and pretty, the way they were in songs.
