Augustus was wearing a beautiful flowered dress, her cute little face made her look like a princess.
"sister, get pretty?" Augustus asked
Cersei beside her didn't answer, she seemed distracted.
"Wake up sister" Augustus told me out loud
Cersei was startled and came to her senses
"Sorry sister, I didn't hear" Cersei
Whenever Augustus is wearing a dress Cersei calls him sister, when he is in front of others she calls him brother.
Augustus sighed, his sister has been around for days, ever since Jaime left and became a squire.
Not becoming bride to Rhaegar and then staying away from Jaime made the young lioness sad.
"Being sad won't bring Jaime back and it won't make you a queen" Augustus
He sat next to his sister
"sister, I'm going to tell you a secret, men don't like women without skill, a wife must be virtuous and take care of the home? in fact it's true but women must also have some use besides providing sex" Augustus
Cersei didn't understand
"sister, you will be a queen, your mission is much greater than having sex with the king, you must be the most important woman of all, you cannot only think about riches and power" Augustus
"But isn't the beauty of being a queen the luxury and power?" Cersei
"That's true, but now think, when you go out on the street, do you want people to throw flowers at you or throw feces?" Cersei
"Of course flowers, throwing feces at me is disgusting" Cersei
"If you want flowers, then you cannot let anyone lack bread, only if you have the ability to do so, You will receive flowers, a king must have the courage of a king, but there are some things that only a queen can do" Augustus
"what ?" Cersei
"To be loved by the people" Augustus
"A king must not be loved, as this can generate unnecessary ambitions and be confused with weaknesses, a king must be respected and the queen loved, but my dear sister, can you do that?" Augustus
"how to make?" Cersei, her eyes sparkled
"Study, be kind to children and the elderly and stay beautiful, of course you don't have to become a saint, just be one in front of people after all only idiots want to be nice all the time" Augustus
Actually Cersei is very smart and has a great mind, but she just wants to have fun, she has great ambition but no real ability to support ambition.
He doesn't want his beloved sister to become the same fool she was in the series, so he decided to help Cersei study for real.
A noblewoman does not need to learn to embroider like that old woman teaches Cersei, she needs to learn geography, history, mathematics and especially administration, a queen cannot be useless
"But.....I'm not marrying Rhaegar, so what's the point?" Cersei
"nonsense, of course you will, don't think that dad has given up, I think that in some time he should take you to the capital and enter the court, there will be your chance" Augustus
As for Elia Martell? this shouldn't be a problem, as she will be Augustus' wife.
In fact, after Tyrion was born, the Martell entourage came the same as in the original, but this time they were well treated, Joanna herself, even in recovery from childbirth, made an effort to receive everyone
The only reason Elia and Augustus aren't engaged is that Tywin wanted to wait and see if Rhaella would give birth to a girl, but it didn't happen.
In addition to Elia, the other candidate is LysaTully, but Lysa has already been resolved by Augustus, he "accidentally" commented on Lysa's fame in front of his father, no doubt the old lion should investigate
Augustus finds it much better to have a Dornish wife, with the open culture it will not be difficult to reveal his true tastes to his wife.
Cersei saw hope and trusted her brother, from then on the two in addition to wearing dresses also began to study, Augustus taught his sister
