'Let it be known that Margaery of house Tyrell and Joffrey of the houses Lannister and Baratheon are one heart one flesh one soul cursed be to those who would seek to tear them asunder.'

"Asunder." Storm repeated. "That's a fun word." she remarked as she pulled at her awful dress.

"Stop it." Five said swatting a hand at her. 

"Easy for you to say you are a 13 year old kid thats been wearing suits for 50 years!" Storm barked back. "I don't like dresses, I feel suffocated."

"You look nice, I look sharp." Five told her. 

"You look like you need a chaperone." Storm countered. 

"I'm older than you!" Five reminded her. 

"I said LOOK, you LOOK like you need a chaperone." Storm reminded. 

'With this kiss I pledge my love,' Joffrey said bringing his lips to Margaery the crowd clapped happily as they were announced man and wife. King and Queen.

'We have a new queen.' Sansa said down to Tyrion.

'Yes we do,' he agreed. 

"Now we party." Storm declared turning to Podrick. 

"Now we party." He agreed.

'All taken care of.'

'you saw her on the ship?'

'All taken care of.' Bronn confirmed for the millionth time.

'And you saw the ship sail away?' Tyrion questioned.

'No one knows she's there except you me and Varys.' Bronn confirmed

'How do you know?'

'Because no one follows me without invitation or I am the last person they ever saw.' Bronn told him.

'Someone saw you, you mean?' Tyrion questioned.

'She is gone.' Bronn told him. 'I know you don't wanna believe it but she is. Now go drink until it feels like you did the right thing.'

Joffreys wedding was large and over the top but that was to be expected on the King's wedding. Sansa sat next to Tyrion, miserably. 

The banquet music played and there was a feast the size of kings landing itself. Margaery listened to the music intently as Ellaria talked with Oberyn, Storm poured herself another drink and another. Licking the residue from her lips as she looked Podrick.

"So this is like, an honor." Storm said sarcastically. 

"Being invited to the kings wedding, yes." Podrick agreed sincerely. 

"Maybe if it was a good king." Storm murmured. 

"What are weddings like where you are from?" Podrick offered. 

'Very good very good off you go,' Joffrey said entirely bored with the presentation he threw coins at the musicians.

'I can't say I've ever met a sand before,' Cersei remarked as she spoke with Oberyn and Ellaria

'We are everywhere in Dorne I have 10,000 brothers and sisters,' Ellaria told her

'Bastards are born of passion every day, we don't despise them in Dorne.' Oberyn informed them 

'How tolerant of you,' Cersei answered stiffly.

'I expect it is a relief lady Cersei giving up your legal responsibilities wearing the crown for so many years must've left your neck a bit crooked,' Oberyn said.
