Realm of Fate and Sacrifice

Chapter One

|King? Renly|

┗━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━┛

Araelia was happy. Her brother and sister were happy, which in turn made her feel the same. Margaery was finally getting to be a queen and Loras could still have his love Renly Baratheon. Of course Araelia wouldn't have any of the glory, but she didn't care, she was content as she was.

Araelia strolled along the edge of camp, it was posted up by the sea, she had always loved the sea. to bad the weather wasn't right to swim. It was too windy here. the sea crashed against the shore hard, Araelia knew there was a likely chance she would get swept under the waves and drown if she were to take a dive.

"Araelia!" Margaery called from the camp, the wind blowing her long brown hair around.

"What!" She called back.

"Get up here please! im not going to keep yelling for you!" Margaery turned and walked out of view.

Araelia sighed and made her way to her sisters tent, where she knew she would be waiting for her.

As Araelia walked through camp she saw Renlys Rainbow Guard. She shook her head, he was painfully obvious, she had a mind to bring it up to Loras, everything would crash if the people found out what was going on behind closed doors. But Araelia did have to admit, the arrangement was perfect. Loras gets Renly and Renly gets Loras while Margaery gets to be queen, everything under control and just as they want it . a fulfilling arrangement for them all. Not to mention the safe cover it gave the couples.

Finally She made it to her sisters tent and let herself in.

"Araelia, which dress should i wear for the fight later?" Margaery held two different dresses up to her body in the mirror.

"Did you honestly call me from my peaceful walk to ask me what dress you should wear to watch two men battle?" Araelia didn't hold back, her family were never ones for holding their tongues...though they did know when to sharpen it to their will.

"Dont be so crude" Margaery picked a dress on her own "i wanted to tell you that Lady Stark is coming"

"Stark?" Araelia hadn't said that name aloud in a while, let alone heard it. it was comforting in its own weird way. she had never really gotten over that short friendship she shared with Jon Snow.

"I know you were friends with one of the Stark boys when you were young. Renly was wondering if perhaps you could use this to get the Starks to join our cause"

"Huh" Araelia fingered the fabric of one of the dresses. She had known the Starks boys—well, technically one- Robb. She remembered having a little crush on Robb, but she didn't know much about him. She knew about Jon though. But Jon wasn't a Stark, and Lady Catelyn didn't favor him "I knew one of them" I admit "but not the right one unfortunately"

"What do you mean?" Margaery turned to me.

"I spoke to Robb Stark once. The only 'Stark' I really knew was no stark at all" I bite the inside of my lip "I doubt any Starks remember me anyhow, it was so long ago. I'm sorry"

Margaery looked down, Araelia could tell she was conjuring up a new plan "That's fine dear sister, We will have to win Lady Catelyn and the Stark host in other ways" She smiled before turning back to her things.

"I'm sorry i couldn't be of more help" she watched her sister hold different jewelry up to her face.

"No need to apologize, you have done nothing wrong little sister, now hurry along now, I'm sure you must have lots to do to prepare for this evening"
