As the heir to Highgarden, Alester Tyrell embodies the virtues of nobility and justice. Fiercely loyal to his family, he stands as a beacon of honor in a realm fraught with treachery. But the path to preserving the Tyrell legacy is paved with perilo...
Tommen and the High Sparrow are standing in the central chamber. Tommen lights a candle.
TOMMEN: "Is there no other way?"
HIGH SPARROW: "You're afraid for her?"
TOMMEN: "Of course I'm afraid for her! It just seems very dangerous."
HIGH SPARROW: "She'll be protected the entire way. The Faith Militant are very stern with those who overstep their bounds. And Queen Margaery isn't your mother. I suspect the gods will predispose the common people to gentleness on her behalf. She's truly opened her heart to them."
TOMMEN: "She's always been very devoted to the poor and the unfortunate."
HIGH SPARROW: "And now she's devoted to the gods as well. Would you like to see her?"
GREAT SEPT OF BAELOR - PRAYER ROOM
Margaery is sitting on a bench reading a book. The door opens. Tommen and the High Sparrow enter. Tommen enters and stares at his wife. The High Sparrow closes the door behind the young king. Margaery sets down her book and stands. The two embrace.
TOMMEN: "Have they hurt you? Have they mistreated you?"
MARGAERY: "No, Your Grace."
TOMMEN: "I've missed you. More than you could know."
MARGAERY: "We'll be together again soon, and everything will be better than it was before."
TOMMEN: "Better how? Soon the- - walk of atonement. He says there's no other way."
MARGAERY: "Have you spoken to him at all, the High Sparrow?"
TOMMEN: "Yes, a few times. Have you?"
MARGAERY: "Yes, I have. He's not quite what we thought he was, is he?"
Tommen scrunches up his face. Margaery chuckles and turns away.
MARGAERY: "You think I'm mad. I sound mad."
TOMMEN: "No. No, you don't. You- - you could never. You're right, he's not. He's a lot more- -"
MARGAERY: "He is. There's something about him. His way of looking at the world. It's not an easy thing admitting to yourself what you really are. It's taken me a while. He's helped me."
TOMMEN: "What are you talking about? You're a good person. You've always been a good person. You're the best person I know."
She chuckles and retrieves her book from the bench.
TOMMEN: "I was just telling him about your devotion to the poor."
MARGAERY: "Ah, yes, I visited their hovels, and I fed them soup and I made sure I was seen doing it. I never gave them what they really needed, though. I've had lots of time to think about how good I was at seeming good. All those stories I told myself about who I was and why I did the things I did. There were so many lies in those stories."
TOMMEN: "I don't understand."
Margaery rushes to Tommen and takes his hand.
MARGAERY: "It's all right. It really is. It's such a relief to let go of those lies."
She leads him to the bench, and they sit down on it together.
TOMMEN: "What about Loras?"
MARGAERY: "I love my brother. I will always love my brother. His soul is pure and perfect. His sins don't erase that purity, they only obscure it. He just needs to atone for them. We all do. Sooner or later, one way or another. The gods have a plan for us all."
