Lord Otto Hightower was not stupid, he knew that his daughter Allicent becoming queen was only the first step to making sure his blood sat on the iron throne. The second step was making powerful allies, and who was stronger than House Tyrell.

House Tyrell of Highgarden was one of the Great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms, being Lords Paramount of the Mander and the liege lords of the Reach. A large, wealthy house, its wealth was only surpassed among the Great Houses by House Lannister. Along with their wealth the Tyrells could command the greatest armies. If they chose to call on the ships of the Redwyne fleet, the lords of the Shield Islands, and the coastal lords, the Tyrell's could command a navy that equaled if not surpassed the royal fleet of King's Landing.
When the Noble houses flooded into kings landing to celebrate the King's only son's first Nameday, Otto found his chance to win the favor of House Tyrell in the youngest child and only daughter, Maren Tyrell. Known as the Reach's Rose, Maren was a sweet, innocent thing of ten and eight. Just at the age to be married off, Otto made sure to steal her away and woo her before any other lord had the chance. The Reach's Rose would be his.
