Thalia played with her dolls while mother and I were chatting.

"Mother,"
Thalia taps my arm.

"Yes?"

"When am I going to see father?"

I sigh while looking at my mother then look at Thalia.
"Soon darling, patience is the key."

She nodded and went back to what she was doing.

"She's a beauty."
Mother stated.

"Of course she is."

"I met with the High Sparrow yesterday."
She said after taking a sip of her wine.

"I thought they were all dead?"

"Oh, no."

"Oh, well excuse me I haven't kept up with the capital."

My mother giggled.

"What did you speak of?"
I asked.

"Ser Loras needs to be humbled, and so does his sister."

"Mother, what are you talking about?"

"Ser Loras has been arrested by the sparrows. His trial is today."
She held the glass of wine and sang back and forth in her chair.

I glanced at Thalia with her not paying attention,
"Did you have something to do with this?"

"Oh no no of course not. I wouldn't dare."
Her smirk went down slowly.

I knew my mother was lying to the core. She is a sly woman and is determined to get Margaery away from Tommen. I just stayed out of that drama though. I have my daughter to worry about.

Days later it was Loras Tyrells trial.

I sat between my mother and Tommen.
The High Sparrow called Ser Loras up to the seat.

"Ser Loras, you are aware of the rumors, concerning you and Renly?"
He asked.

"I don't pay attention to rumors."
He answered.

"Rumors said you were despondent when he died."
The high sparrow turned.
"Witnesses state that you refused to leave his bedside even if Stannis' army closed in."

"He was my friend, he was my king."

I never knew that Loras allegedly had an affair with my uncle. If it were still happening, I really wouldn't care.

"Wasn't Robert your rightful king? He was anointed by the seven, not Renly."

"I was wrong to support Renlys claim, I know that. But the Baratheon children forgave me, right?"
Everyone looked at Tommen, then at me.

Tommen hesitated so I answered.
"Yes, we forgive Ser Loras."

I look at Tommen giving him a confused look.

"Do you deny your allegations?"
The high sparrow continued to question.

"Of course I deny them."
Loras scoffed.

"You never laid with Renly Baratheon?"

"Never."

"Nor any other man."

"Never."

"That will be all, Ser Loras."
The high Sparrow excused him.

He goes to sit down.

"Well, I think that's quite enough of that."
Lady Olenna says as the Tyrells get ready to exit.

"Faith calls Queen Margaery forward."
The high sparrow interrupts.

Everyone looks at Margaery.
"You call me forward?"

"Yes, we have some questions for you."

"I am the queen."

"You are, and according to the law of the seven,  neither kings nor queens are exempt from the testimony at a holy inquest."

I rolled my eyes.
"Gods, this is so boring."
I say in my mind.

Margaery looks at everyone. I already know my mother gave her a little devilish smirk.

She walks up to the seat.

"How do you respond to these charges against your brother?"

"They are lies."
She replies.

"All of them?"

"All of them."

"In the presence of the gods do you swear that your brother is innocent of these charges against him, to the best of your knowledge?"
The high Sparrow annoyingly kept asking.

"Yes, I swear it."

The sparrow excused Margaery.

They bring in this man. Blondish hair with a blueish suit.

I glanced at Loras and his face came to a little shock. I figured he knew him.

"You know this man?"
The high sparrow asked him.

"Yes very well, he is Ser Loras Tyrell heir to Highgarden."

"How did you come to meet him?"

"I squired for him. He took a liking to me and summoned me to his chamber the first day we met."

"What occurred in his chamber?"

"We engaged in intimate relations."

"Liar, HE'S A LIAR."
Ser Loras raised his voice.

The sparrow turns back to the man after glancing at Loras.
"Is there anyone else who can support your claim?"

"Yes, yes queen Margaery."

I look at the queen with her giving side-eyes to the man.

Tommen looked worried.

"This testimony is an insult to a great house. Why should the faith or anyone else take the word of a squire over the heir to Highgarden?"
My mother said her thoughts.

I think she was just playing the game.
As almost always my mother's words aren't truthful.

"He has a birthmark, your grace, quite high on his thigh, wine color than roughly the shape of dawn."
The man answered to my mother.

"LIAR! LIAR!"
Ser Loras yelled after chasing after him with sparrows holding him back and taking him.

Olenna and Margaery stand up with two other sparrows guarding them.

"Let us pass."
Last Olenna demands.

"The faith is satisfied there is enough evidence to being a formal trial to Ser Loras, Queen Margaery, and Cersei Lannister."

"WHAT?"
I immediately yelled out.
"Excuse me high sparrow but what is my mother called for?"

"I heard the trial with Jaime and Cersei's incest and intimate relations and having 3 children had been excused for years, it's time to face them. Cersei will substitute for Jaime since his absence."
The high sparrow explained.

They start taking mother and Margaery.

"NO!"
I shouted.

Margaery continued to call Tommens name.
I look at him and see he is hesitating and silent with a worried facial expression.

I look at him up and down.
"Are you seriously going to let them take your mother and wife?"

He stutters.
"N-no I will most certainly not Raliana."

"Whatever, your grace."
I excused myself.

I was angry. I tried to take it from Tommen's point of view but I just couldn't. What he did irritated and shocked me. Should someone else take the crown?
