The Tyrells's lack of a royal history, unlike other great houses, causes them to seek more status and power. Prior to Margaery's arrival in [[King's Landing]], wagons of food are sent to the capital for the starving population in her name. When she arrives in the city, she is greeting by cheering crowds. Margaery and her grandmother, Lady [[Olenna Tyrell|Olenna]], inquire with [[Sansa Stark]] about King [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey I Baratheon]]'s nature, and learn how both Joffrey and his mother [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] have been treating the [[House Stark|Stark]] girl. When Sansa expresses fear that Margaery will refuse the marriage due to the revelation, Margaery and Olenna confide in Sansa that Mace is determined to see Margaery become a queen, while simply calling Joffrey's nature "a pity". Margaery and Olenna suggest to Sansa that she travel to [[Highgarden]] after Margaery's wedding, secretly plotting to marry Sansa to Margaery's eldest brother, [[Willas Tyrell|Willas]].{{Ref|ASOS|6}} Margaery and her ladies take Sansa in, taking her hawking, doing needlework with her, and other such pastimes.{{Ref|ASOS|16}}
