Chapter Text
The small cup she found herself staring at was so inoffensive but she hated it more than anything she ever had in her life. It was a delicate white china cup a familiar floral pattern running along the ridge and the handle. She had drunk tea from cups that looked just like it a thousand times before; she may have even used this cup before.
Margaery made a resolution to throw all of the china out personally once this was over and done with.
She never thought she would find herself in this situation. She had heard numerous rumours of other girls who had ended up here before but she never imagined she would join their ranks. Ruined women all of them but she couldn’t join their ranks. She would not join their ranks. Ruined women were allowed to live their lives out quietly; they were married off to some hedge knight and forgotten about but not ruined queens.
She needed to do this for herself, she needed to do it for the man she loved and she had to do it for the child they had made.
Lifting the cup quickly she gulped the foul liquid back and waited for the potion to take its effect pushing the thought of auburn haired children out of her mind as she sat back in her seat.
