Summary
“Ask your question, Daenerys,” Stannis said.
Daenerys took a breath, and asked the question that had plagued her ever since leaving King’s Landing. “Your brother, the king, only lost his betrothed, and he hates me. Eddard Stark lost over half his family because of mine, and yet he will welcome me as his kin?” Her voice rose at the last, as she was no longer able to hide her disbelief, her fear.
“Ned Stark is a man of honor,” Stannis said. “He has no interest in avenging his family by tormenting you.” Unlike the king, neither of them said aloud.
(In a world where Viserys Targaryen escaped Westeros without his mother or sister, Daenerys Targaryen grows up as the ward of Stannis Baratheon, living at the mercy of the Great Houses that brought about the downfall of her family.)

Summary
Tya knows the Queen dislikes her, but Betha Blackwood can hardly hide her relief when they are done questioning the septon. No, he was not some drunken sot they found in a brothel. It is not difficult, especially in the days of Aegon V, who very publicly broke a betrothal to his own sister to marry his true love, to find septons willing to publicly oppose the practice of sibling-marriage.
It was nearly as easy to find a fervent believer as it would have been to find a wastrel willing to marry them for a few coppers. Septon Reynald is steadfast. Yes, he was entirely sober, knew that his actions were counter to Prince Jaehaerys’ will for his son, but believed ‘twould be a greater sin to force Prince Aerys into marriage to his own sister, a match Aerys did not consent to.

Summary
...until there comes another, younger and more beautiful, to cast you down and take all that you hold dear.
She stood out among the royal party – Eddard noticed her almost immediately. She was the image of Robert – tall and still growing taller, broad shouldered, with thick black hair and a sharp jaw. But there was something of the queen in her, too; in her lips, her brows, and most of all in her green eyes. She would have been a great beauty, but she stood slump-shouldered, dowdy, with her eyes on the ground. Someone had dressed the poor thing in a fussy gown of black silk, cloth of gold and Myrish lace that only served to make her shoulders seem wider. Queen Cersei muttered something in the ear of her eldest child, irritable, and the princess straightened her shoulders.

Her conscience had been disturbed, and she could no longer dislike Mary Crawford enough to be safe from her, if such a thing had ever been possible at all.
