Sansa chats with various Tyrells, who are making a positive impression in King’s Landing. She’s lured into being honest about King Joffrey, but the Tyrell women don’t seem mad, indeed they offer her a way out of King’s Landing. Simon and Mackelly consider the proposal.

Chapter Review:
Sansa Stark mulls whether to accept an invitation to dine with her future queen, Margaery Tyrell. She knows she must, but she’s struggling to understand why she’s invited. Her mood brightens when none other than Ser Loras Tyrell arrives to escort her to the Maidenvault, where the Tyrells have been housed. Sansa’s smitten and cannot believe they are touching arms while they walk.

The pleasant conversation sours somewhat when he doesn’t remember giving her the red rose at the Hand’s Tourney, and she mentions that he unsearted Robar Royce, who he has since killed in battle.

She has better luck with the female Tyrells, notably Margaery and her grandmother Lady Olenna Tyrell. They charm her and pointedly ask for the truth about Joffrey. After some hesitation, Sansa admits that he is a monster. Both ladies take the news in their stride. Furthermore they suggest that Sansa move to Highgarden and wed the heir Willas Tyrell. He’s no Loras, but he’s also no Joffrey.
