𝐆𝐎𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐖𝐎𝐎𝐃 : there was something wild about the godswood; and even here, in the heart of the castle at the heart of the city, you could feel the old gods watching with a thousand unseen eyes. godeswood is a dependent multi - muse for thronesfm by ari .
setting : the master of laws ‘ s office , the red keep .
𝙲𝚄𝚁𝙸𝙾𝚂𝙸𝚃𝚈 . it festers slowly within the lioness : building upon itself as days go by , and questions go unanswered : what was he like in his youth ? did he have a favorite meal ? would anyone truly miss him ? . all she had ever known about the grand maester was that he was a rather large old man , with even larger ears . “ say , lord uncle . . . ” her voice is cautious : a dulcet tone of compassion . “ did you know him well ? “ a pause . ” maester florent ? ”
𝙰𝙵𝙵𝙸𝙽𝙸𝚃𝚈 . it has always existed between the rose and the lioness . a deep understanding of one another : a friendship lined with mistrust --- yet the pair is attached at the hip whenever possible . during their time at the keep : noon tea at the gardens has become a common ocurrence . wandering eyes might see two young maids of noble birth : practicing their graces , and their embroidery : but listening ears would say otherwise . “ i ‘ m serious , you should have seen it . ” emeralds alight with mischief : she giggles . delicate hand brings porcelain cup towards rose lips . “ the gods should punish whoever made such an awful dress . ”
𝙱𝙾𝚁𝙴𝙳𝙾𝙼 . it settles in slowly : the king has yet to make an appearance , so most courtiers just stand . waiting , like lifeless puppets that only come alive in the presence of their ruler . oh to have that power . she spots the semi - familiar figure of a girl : close to her in age . “ lady lyanna , ” she nods in greeting : courtesy is a lady ‘ s armour . a smile brightens her features : genuine , and sugar sweet . “ that is a beautiful dress --- ” emerald greens appraise the details , and the stitchings on the silks . “ did you embroider it yourself ? ”
𝙳𝙰𝚈𝙻𝙸𝙶𝙷𝚃 . it filters through the windows : casting the room in a golden tint . a porcelain tea set sits infront of her : it displays a fire breathing dragon : it chases a lion , a wolf , and a stag . an eagle soars above them , and a trout swims below them . it is beautiful , in the way essosi crafts are . it sits cold , and untouched , along with the anise cakes offered with it . instead , she focuses on the message she is writing . an invitation . “ good morning , brother . ” voice is sweet : bright . a contrast to her demeanor : she doesn ‘ t look to see who ‘ s coming . she can tell : loud , uncalculated footsteps . emeralds stay glued to the parchment before her . “ pray tell , how will you be making use of your valuable time today ? ” it is then that she looks up : emeralds alight like wildfire . a mocking smirk upon her lips “ having a longsword contest with the lords , or chasing after poor servant maids ? ”

Having not slept for awhile, she couldn’t escape the nightmares she was having - as if something bad was about to happen (not that it already hadn’t). A Grand Maester was dead and they were all under lock and key. Hearing a nose, she quickly hid behind a tree and began to listen, though maybe she wasn’t as slick as she thought because when she heard a voice, she shushed them. “Can’t you see I’m trying to be elusive?” she asked before it registered there was someone else besides her. Eyes widened, she quickly looked back at them

WHERE: King’s Landing, Lannister Quarters
WHO: Myrcella Lannister, Lady of Casterly Rock
TAGGING: @godeswood
The heat of King’s Landing bled through the stone alcove of her private quarters, reminding her and the large brood of Lannisters that they were no longer atop Casterly Rock, but instead in the hellfire of the jaw set by ancient dragons. No, Cerelle was not in the least bit comfortable being there, for she would’ve preferred to be amongst the Westerlands, blowing on the embers that began to relight beneath the passion of such people. Though a daughter, and a widowed lady at that, Cerelle boasted a military tactic that lay next to none, and sought to inspire the noble-houses of the West to aid her in the ultimate goal — independence. She had spent the last few days whispering into the ears of whoever she could find, whilst also putting on a charming smile to whomever she could not trust, an expression that was sometimes directed toward her own kin, for as much as she wanted to cherish her relationships, she knew that the Lannisters were not known for unconditional loyalty.
Approaching her sister, however, Cerelle managed a smile, gesturing for a servant to bring the wine to the alcove that split open onto the horizon, where they could hear the birds sing and the waters lap beneath the general hurrah of over-population. “You look nice,” she commented, her eyes yet focused on her sister’s own gaze, before putting a hand to her arm. Her children, Jocasta and Lancel, would be several floors beneath them, with pudding and lessons — so it gave Cerelle room to ponder on the wellbeing of her next closest of kin. “Tell me, darling, do you feel safe?”

LAYER FOUR. HISTORY.
i. a true descendant of the lions of the rock : myrcella was not brought into this world easily . kicking , and roaring screams . it was during the early hours of a spring morning that lady johanna went into labour , and just as dawn broke upon the cliffs of the westerlands , the cries of a newborn once again filled the lord of casterly rock ‘ s chambers .
ii. it has always been there : an active imagination , and a skewed sense of self importance . she has always believed that she came into this world with a part to play : a key element to some grandiose plan . a girl with a purpose .
iii. myrcella was raised like every noble daughter in westeros : sewing , and stitching . singing , and playing the high harp , and the bells . she strives for perfection in her education , and will not accept anything less than .
iv. she was not to inherit : but to marry an heir . and such was going to be the case … at eight and ten her lord father promised her hand to a knight of noble birth : a good man , she supposed … though not a good enough knight , since he died at a joust with his betrothed watching from the stands … her favour tied to his lance .
vi. this catapults her to some sort of fame : songs are written about the knight , and his fair betrothed … about first meetings , and love lost , ( haha ) and the tourney of runestone .
vii. myrcella grows into everything a noble lady should be. beautiful, and refined. she spins the found attention to her advantage , and curates her image : feeding , and clothing the smallfolk . kind , charitable . gracious . the maiden reborn : a strong lady , recovered . bards sing of the light of the west come once more . however , there is a side to her seen only by those who pay attention : a sharpness . a cold , and calculating nature lurking behind pools of emerald green .
viii. she is convinced that she can do it : she can wear the crown . make westeros a better place for nobles , and smallfolk alike . she can lead . she just needs to … make one of her various ideations on how to make that happen actually happen .
ix. as it stands , though , she is still just a lady of casterly rock . a cyvasse piece on her sister , the ruling lady lannister ‘ s board . so whatever plans she has , she has to act fast … she cannot just wait around to what her sister ‘ s next move is , and if it will align with her vision .
tldr : pretty girl from the westerlands with delusions of grandeur believes that everything you can do, she can do better :)
