The Coldest Winter Chapter 1. King Robert Baratheon.
A/N: Yes this chapter title sucked but I was hard put to think of a better one. I'm trying this crossover as an experiment first and will only continue I think it could do well. As the title hints, this crossover is going to include one of our favourite anime villainess Esdeath. To summarise how she got there, after she was killed she expected everything to be over, so it came as quite a surprise to be born again in the northern lands of Westeros. Yes she does retain her powers and she'll only show her cruelty to her enemy but her up bringing in Westeros will give her a split personality, one is her past life that enjoys war but the other more social and friendly half actually dominates. Also as quite a change up to most Game Of Thrones crossovers, I'm pairing her with Robert Baratheon until his time comes, as a concubine who he actually shows more affection for than Cersei could ever dream to receive, eventually secretly making her his wife. Out of both love and fear. That's a brief (and pitiful) summary Let's begin.
Chapter start.
Flashback: Cersei's prophecy. (A/N: Altered because of Esdeath's existence in Westeros).
Two figures walked through the forest bordering Casterly Rock, as the two neared their destination one of them spoke.
"We shouldn't be out here alone".
"Why not"?
"If you're father hear-"
"He'll never know we're gone".
"But if he finds out"?
"You don't need to be afraid of my father".
The pair continued further into the forest and eventually stopped at a small wooden stick house.
"Are you sure"?
"Yes".
"We shouldn't go in".
"Of course we should". Without a second thought the blond figure lead the pair into the house without permission and looked around for what she was after, she soon stopped as she had found the woman. Her sights set on the woman who seemingly appeared dead until the blonde girls friend yelled in surprise upon hitting a small cage thus causing the woman to wake up.
"Get out". Was the first thing the woman said. When the two didn't leave she repeated much louder "GET OUT"!
"Let's go" the other girl tried to pull her friend away but she wouldn't move.
"No".
"Listen to your friend". Soon the blonde girl opened her mouth again.
"They said that you were terrifying, with cats teeth and three eyes. You're not terrifying. You're boring".
"You don't know what I am".
"I know you're a witch, and you can see the future. Tell me mine".
"Everyone want to know their future, until they know their future".
"This is my fathers land, my land. Tell me my future or I'll have your two boring eyes gouged out of your head". The woman merely stifled a laugh at the girl's threat before reaching over and grabbing a knife.
"Your blood, give me a taste". She then handed the knife to the girl who hesitantly took it and sliced her thumb lightly enough to draw some blood. The woman proceeded to grab the girl and lick the blood off.
"Three questions you get, you won't like the answers". (A/N: the prophecy will deviate).
"I've been promised to the prince, when will we marry"?
"You'll never wed the prince, you will wed the king".
"But I will be queen".
"Yes you will be queen for a time, but the king will never treat or love you as one like He will for his concubine who would one day take your place as queen".
"Why"?
"She will be stronger, more beautiful, and gifted with a power only the gods could give". The girl looked confused by the comment but proceeded to her last question.
"Will the king and I have children"?
"The king will have twenty and four children, and you will have three".
"That doesn't make sense".
"Gold will be their crowns but they will not succeed him, a shroud of gold for one and chains of ice for another". The girl wondered what the woman meant as she continued.
"His Concubine will birth eight of his children, five sons with crowns of black and three daughters with crowns of blue. You will birth none of his children". The woman soon cracked up laughing while the girl stared unsettled by her future.
"Come on we have to go. We have to go, Cersei"!
Flashback end.
5 Years Before the Tourney at Harrenhal.
"What was that"? Brandon and Lyanna Stark both mentally asked as they watched in muted shock at what had just occurred. For years Lyanna held pity for the blue haired town commoner, every time they saw a group of children always having a go at her while other commoners thought her to be a living female white walker because her hair and eyes were both a various shade of blue, what both the Stark children witnessed was indescribable at first. Yet again a group of people were going as far as to beat her, Brandon was about to get involved when the two saw a cold steam rising from her hands before in one swift motion she swung her hands outward causing spikes of ice to launch out from thin air pinning three of the kids to building walls by their clothing and injuring one other after she was impaled by one of the ice spines. It didn't take long for some of the town folk to shake off their horror and speak up.
"She's a demon".
"SHE'S A WITCH"!
"She harmed my daughter. I want her dead". One of the townsmen yelled as other people gathered her in anger. While at the same time the young girl in question was shaking at this sudden discovery.
"What did I just do"? The girl silently thought to herself in terror as she looked at her shaking hands.
"Well this is unusual".
"Wait, who is that". The girl's mind was spinning as she heard a voice in her head.
"First things first, what's your name"? The voice asked with the girl who quickly answered.
"My name is Esdeath. No last name however, I'm just a commoner".
"This truly is a surprise, we share the same name. Esdeath Partas, I used to be the most feared general of a glorious empire before I was cut down to end the last fragment of its existence. That leads me to now, stuck as an alter ego in your body".
"I'm sorry but I'm having a hard time believing all this, maybe that's it maybe I'm just asleep or unconscious".
"Believe what you want but the fact is there are two of us in the same body".
"So what now? And for your information, your in my body so don't get any ideas"
"For one I suggest you focus, we've got company incoming". Esdeath shook her head and regained her composure in time to see Lyanna and Brandon Stark walking toward her.
Most of the group made way for the 2 young Starks as they approached a young girl who had just caused a great scene.
"My Lord, My Lady". The young and beaten girl tried her best to show her respect to the two nobles despite her condition.
"What's happening here"? Brandon nearly yelled to the crowd gaining their full attention.
"My lord, this monster just unleashed an act of witchcraft and almost killed my daughter. We suggest to have her killed". One of the villagers quickly answered as her daughter was bleeding badly from her shoulder.
"Wait, brother look at her". Both Starks noticed the countless cuts, scrapes, and bruises on the girl's body while they also saw the terrible condition of her clothing.
"Someone tell me how she got in this situation"? Brandon asked while knowing full well the reason behind it as they had just seen the event recently transpire, but he wanted to hear what excuse they would make to shift blame back to her.
"We were just having a little fun and suddenly she lashed out at us". One of the boys pinned to the wall said in a nervous manner.
"Is that so, well from where we were standing it looked like you were trying to kill her". Brandon walked up to the girl and stood between her and the group, Lyanna followed closely and crouched down right in front of the girl.
"You ok". The girl shakily nodded to Lyanna in response. Pulling herself up she followed close behind Lyanna and Brandon while ignoring jeers and cries from the angered crowd.
"You are by far a mess, to think we both hold the same name is almost embarrassing".
"Will you shut up, I've just caused a scene in a small town apparently by using your power, I start hearing you inside my head, then to top it off I'm being escorted to Winterfell by two of lord Starks children. Is there anything I've left out"?
"Aside from you looking out to the distance and worrying said Stark children I'd say you got everything covered. Speaking of which, you may want to get your head back in gear". Esdeath shook out of her conversation with herself in time to see Lyanna Stark slow her horse up enough so she would keep pace with her.
"You look a bit out of it, is there anything on your mind"?
"Other than what just happened no? What's going to happen to me when we stop"?
"I'm not too sure how to answer that question, none of us have ever seen something like that happen before so we're lost for words. But it's up to our father to decide what befalls you".
"I see". Lyanna rode back ahead and caught up with Brandon leaving Esdeath to again speak with herself.
"I would've liked to have learnt more about these Starks and this world but you don't have the best social skills".
"Will you be quiet for at least five minutes, this is all new for me. I would prefer if this'd never happened and I could go back to my normal life".
"Oh yes I'm sure getting attacked on the streets on a weekly basis was quite satisfying huh".
"Okay maybe not that but I… wait how did you know about that, how long have you been dead anyway"?
"Not too long I'm afraid but your mind and body is already starting to absorb everything of me into you".
"Meaning what exactly"?
"Meaning if it keeps up at this rate, than in a few days the two of us will become one person. You will exist to inherit and use everything I've learnt and I'll begin to fade away like a scar".
"So that means I a few days I basically become both of us in mind and body".
"Precisely".
"Well that's terrifying to think of, but at the same time I will gain the full use of these ice powers".
"The demons extract as it was named in my world, which reminds me. You'll want to brace yourself".
"Why would I need to… hngh"! Esdeath wasn't half way through her sentence when a searing pain burned into life around her collarbone; Brandon and Lyanna quickly heard her pained grunt and turned around in time to see her hunched over clutching the horse's reigns with one hand and her chest with the other. Lyanna quickly rode back to Esdeath side as she muffled a yell of pain. Then just as suddenly as it started, it stopped.
"Esdeath, what's wrong"?
"It's nothing, my chest started burning is all". Esdeath removed her hand from her collarbone and to both hers and Lyanna's surprise a symbol had burned itself in place.
"There's your explanation. Now let's get moving, my fathers patient but there's only so far it can be pushed". The Stark siblings and Esdeath rode through the gates of Winterfell at haste before halting at the stables. After some time of explanation Lyanna had convinced her father to spare Esdeath for the situation was beyond anyone's control. Fortunately out of fear for their new companions life Brandon and Lyanna had convinced their father to allow Esdeath to stay within the walls of Winterfell.
3 Years Before The Tourney At Harrenhal.
In the 2 years they had gotten to know each other Lyanna was rarely seen without Esdeath in close contact, it was soon discovered that Esdeath was just about a year older than her and began showing more skills then she was letting on. Eventually the two decided to abandon most of the ladylike stature they were held up to be. But today was an interesting time as her beloved brother Eddard who she hadn't seen in nearly 10 years had brought a man he befriended to the great hall of Winterfell.
"After some thought I have decided to accept your offer of betrothal to my daughter Lyanna, with this move we will join houses Stark and Baratheon". Lyanna kept a straight face when she was to be betrothed to Robert Baratheon at her father's request, but Esdeath saw doubt in her friend's eyes and after some discussion with her brother later in the day the pair had a more private conversation in Lyanna's chambers.
"So, Robert Baratheon. That seems like an interesting match; Ned speaks very highly of him. I myself wouldn't let up that kind of chance if I wasn't still a commoner".
"Although it does appear he is lacking an amount upstairs". Esdeath thought silently to herself as she waited for Lyanna's answer.
"Yes but I'm not too certain about him. Ned told me he already has an illegitimate child in the Vale, Ned also tried convincing me that everything he's done before our marriage would be insignificant. Love doesn't change a man's nature Esdeath, I tried getting Ned to understand". There was some silence in the chambers for about a minute before Esdeath formed her response as she looked out the window.
"I may not be an expert on love, I've only ever felt one sided love before. But from what I can gather I believe it's become the same case with you and Robert already, Robert seems to sincerely be in love with you but your not going to give him a chance. Love can change a man's nature, it's just not an instantaneous thing". Esdeath waited patiently for Lyanna's response, it eventually came in the form of a sigh followed by a short sentence.
"If you think I can try than I will hold you to it".
Shortly Before Robert's Rebellion.
A Tourney was well under way at Harrenhal. Many lords, ladies, and even Targaryen family members were present for an entertaining day. Among the stands of the major houses were members of house stark and Baratheon. Lyanna Stark sat between her father and her betrothed Robert Baratheon, but she didn't she too comfortable knowing her closest friend wasn't sitting with her.
"Father do you know where Esdeath is, I haven't seen her all day".
"She is a commoner Lyanna, so she must sit with the rest of them across from us".
"But she is one of my only truest friends, can't she be made an exception".
"Your daughter is my betrothed, and I will get to know your friends sooner or later. I say we bring her up here with us". Roberts ordered one of his men to the pair. "So what does this Esdeath look like"?
"She's impossible to miss, mainly due to her icy blue hair". It took the Baratheon guard literally a few seconds to locate Esdeath among the crowd and proceeded to escort her to the main houses stands much to the displeasure of many commoners and some nobles. When she arrived to stand next too the seats Robert was in complete awe at her beauty, he believed that a goddess was in his presence. Esdeath was unbelievably beautiful in his eyes, Lyanna almost felt envious at how her betrothed was staring at her friend and remembered what she said to Eddard. Esdeath's ice blue hair reached down to her knees, her eyebrows and surprisingly her eyelashes were the same colour. Robert's eyes were glued to her chest for a good ten seconds, as he couldn't get over her tits being bigger than anything he'd ever seen, to him it was like someone put a pair of melons in her dress. He eventually snapped himself out of his daze when he felt Lyanna's hand on his shoulder.
"Lord Robert, the joust is about to begin". Robert and Esdeath both took a seat on either side of Lyanna, as the jousts began. After the final joust had ended Rhaegar Targaryen was named the winner and was presented with the task of choosing someone to be crowned the queen of love and beauty, it took a little while but he decided to crown Lyanna as the queen of love and beauty. Although he was hiding it well Esdeath could sense Robert's anger over the decision.
"My prince, I'm surprised that you've chosen me to bear this title. If anything I would've thought you'd present your wife with it or even my friend Esdeath, she is much more deserving to be called the queen of beauty". Esdeath was quite good at hiding her emotions but inside she was Surprised that her friend would say she had better reason to be called the most beautiful.
"Lyanna, the prince has deemed you worthy of that title. It's yours to hold, not mine". Deep down however she kind of hoped she was crowned instead, but she was a commoner so it would make sense not to find any interest in her.
Later: beginning/during the rebellion.
"What do you mean Lyanna is missing"? Esdeath had been given her own place in Winterfell and by Lyanna's request had her named an honoured lady, and it was there that she was coldly stating her question.
"We're telling you she's been kidnapped". Robert roared back at her only to receive a deathly glare as the ground they were standing on started to get colder while the ground around Esdeath started to get covered in ice. Had it been the first time Robert saw this he would have shit himself, however 2 years ago he and Eddard saw Lyanna and Esdeath duel in the courtyard of Winterfell, when Lyanna disarmed her she was about to go in for the finishing strike only to have her sword stopped by a shield of ice appearing on Esdeath's arm followed by a cold sword aimed at her throat. Robert soon shook away that memory as the temperature around them dropped substantially and he realised he didn't hear Esdeath's next question.
"I'll ask again Robert, Who took her"! Cold steam was now rising from Esdeath's raised right hand and her eyes were presenting a desire to kill the next person she saw.
"A rumour has spread saying Rhaegar Targaryen has abducted her, my father and brother have left for kings landing to seek reason for these actions". Esdeath wasn't calming down at what Eddard said, if anything it only added to her cold actions.
"If what they say about king Aerys is true than we'll be in for some trouble".
"Which is perfectly what I hope will happen, this could be the chance I need to stretch these abilities to their max".
Unfortunately for the seven kingdoms Esdeath's worries became true as she heard about the horrid deaths of Eddard's father and brother. That news sent Robert off the edge and he rode off to the storm lands and rallied the banners of his supporters in and around Storms End while lord Eddard did the same in the north. Both lords had tried and failed multiple times in getting her stay behind as the battlefield was no place for a woman, however ceased their attempts when she threatened to bring the full wrath of winter early. That did provide Robert with a brilliant idea of a battle strategy, with her gift on his side the rebellion would never see a defeat. Although every battle she partook in became an overwhelming victory for Robert's rebellion it didn't mean every battle would be won, the battle of the trident ended much quicker than most expected it to when Esdeath froze half of the Targaryen reinforcements sent to aid prince Rhaegar. Most of Robert's enemies spoke of her as either "the demoness of winter" or "the Winter Witch" in both fear and horror, these rumours once they reached the kings ear only drove Aerys to further madness at great speeds. Some lords and ladies of the counsel would purposefully spread stories stating Esdeath would likely even be immune to wildfire with some going further to say her power could freeze wildfire mid eruption, these words made Aerys desperate to get the alchemists to make something powerful enough to kill the Winter Witch. It took just under 2 years for the rebellion to finally end even with Esdeath's assistance, after the rebellion had ended Robert took the iron throne for himself, but he quickly changed from the man Esdeath once got to know after they heard of Lyanna Stark being dead. But she couldn't blame him; Lyanna was the closest person she got to know in her life before the rebellion.
After his coronation Esdeath chose to stay by his side in kings landing rather than return to Winterfell, as it would just bring back memories of the many people she knew and lost, she couldn't go back. Now it has been over 3 weeks since Robert was crowned king and he sat in the throne dealing to the people.
"I'll kill every last Targaryen I get my hands on, they'll pay for all that they've done to us". Robert whispered quietly while there was time between matters of the court.
"While I agree the Targaryen's need to pay for their crimes against the seven kingdoms, the only remaining ones are children. I'm not above killing children unless they're trying to kill me".
"But that hasn't stopped me before from killing children to invoke small rebellions from their families". Esdeath snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Robert huff in response.
"You already sent someone to deal with them didn't you"? Esdeath only stared over at her king before he gave his answer.
"I've given Stannis the task of capturing and bringing the last dragon spawn to me, regardless of if he succeeds or fails he'll be given Dragonstone as a reward".
"You do realise your brother will take this "reward" of yours as an insult to his name, and he will demand the right to be lord of Storms End instead of Renly". Robert only grunted at her reply
"While I'm aware of this, my word is final". Before Esdeath could make any response the announcer raised his voice.
"I now introduce lord Tywin Lannister to discus his matters in the court". Both turned their attention to see an aged and experienced man standing in the front of the courtroom.
"King Robert Baratheon, if I recall correctly you wouldn't have been able to succeed in your rebellion without my funding your side, and you wouldn't be sitting on the throne right now if I hadn't secured kings landing for you. I expect you will repay your end of the war and the debt you owe me".
"You'll get your money soon enough".
"It's not just the financial debt I'm after your grace, it's also your trust. Allies can swing if not fixed to one side, as a gesture of your faith and agreement that houses Baratheon and Lannister stand side by side I request that you wed my daughter". Tywin snapped his fingers after finishing and soon enough one of the most beautiful women Robert ever seen walked up beside her father. A living Beauty only second best Esdeath's whose appearance could only be matched by that of a goddess.
"Your grace, it would be my honour to be your wife and your queen". After finishing her speech Cersei panned her eyes left only for them to come in contact with dulled blue eyes of Esdeath's ice cold stare. Suddenly a sentence of her prophecy played itself in her head. "She will be stronger, more beautiful".
"Your grace. I think it would be wise for you to take lady Cersei as your queen, it would surely secure a much needed amount of strength to deal with any who may want to rise up against you". Master Pycelle while being quite old he was still wise enough to make the right decisions from time to time.
"My counsel see this as a benefit to the seven kingdoms, very well. The wedding will be in a month, should give us time to prepare and make it the biggest wedding in the seven kingdoms". While he shouted this with excitement Esdeath could see he didn't like this idea, it was too soon after he lost Lyanna.
"Then in a month houses Baratheon and Lannister will be tied as one". Soon the entire court erupted in clapping and cheering, everyone except for Robert and Esdeath who shared a look.
The night after the wedding had taken place Esdeath was sitting on the bed in her chambers when she heard the door to the kings chamber open then quickly slam shut and a weeping Cersei run past only to stop at her jarred door for a few seconds before continuing down, but a few seconds was all Esdeath needed to see that Cersei would show nothing but envy and anger toward the king.
The following night seemed quiet, as it appeared queen Cersei was already asleep. Esdeath was about to doze off after the amount of drinks she had at the feast a few hours back. As her eyes were about to close shut they reopened to the sound of knocking on her door.
"It's open". The door slid open to reveal a dazed and drunk looking Robert.
"Your grace, this is unexpected". Deciding to get out of her bed she gave Robert a brilliant view of the small white bed gown that clung to her body for dear life, her exposed canyon of a cleavage telling Robert her voluptuous breasts weren't going to get smaller.
"I don't think my queen would like to see me at this time". That sentence made Esdeath grin just enough that he didn't notice, at the same time a plot formed in her head. To make sure they wouldn't be heard, she moved past him and closed her chambers door.
"The ways she's been behaving after your marriage, I don't think she'll do anything but detest you. Am I right in thinking she didn't consummate the wedding last night"? Esdeath walked over to a table before poring wine into two goblets. "It's Dornish wine if you were wondering". After handing a cup over to her king he responded to her question.
"No, she refused and stormed out because I may have said Lyanna's name in a mournful tone". Esdeath looked down at her glass after hearing of her friends name once again.
"Cersei strikes me as someone who thinks so highly of themselves, so when someone compares her to a better person her entire trust and service to them is destroyed and replaced with resentment. I saw that many times during the war". Both downed their goblets at the same time before Esdeath refilled them.
"Do you think she'll ever spread her legs after hearing that I still loved Lyanna".
"Not likely, that would mean she would never bear you any children".
"Which would mean my reign would start and end with me". Refilling his goblet a second time before doing the same with hers she knew she was getting where she wanted with him.
"That's not entirely true. Have you ever heard of a concubine or mistress? They are normally used as substitutes if a queen or noble lady if either unable to bare children or just refuses too". Robert looked up from his goblet to face Esdeath, while he yearned for the chance. He decided to ask one question to make sure it was going the way he thought it would.
"What are you getting at"?
"I'm simply stating if Cersei is refusing to grant you any children, than I will be her replacement for you. You can have you way with me anytime you like and I'll grant you as many heirs as possible, I'll be your concubine". A huge smile made it's way on to Roberts face as he got the answer he was hoping for.
"With the added bonus of my children being in control of this worlds fate".
(A/N: and before you people in the reviews section start typing up mental breakings at why I should never have placed her with king Robert, let me tell you she's had even worse representations than this in the crossovers area and even in the regular area).
"Had it been my choice after the war ended I would've taken you as my wife, imagine how they'd say our names. The Demon of the Trident, and the Demoness of winter". The pair cracked up laughing while thinking about how the seven kingdoms would see the two. "I thought I'd never find any happiness after Lyanna died, even now I can still see her face. All I have left of her is you; she always talked about how unique you were. I never once got to know why you stayed around me during the rebellion, nor why you stick around now".
"It's because you remind me of someone I once admired, loved even. I lost him a while back and I thought I'd never find someone like that again, until I met you. Even now you have the same look as him, you never felt uncomfortable fighting and sometimes you'd even smile of the field of battle. He was never afraid to put himself in danger and that's what eventually got him killed, and neither were you. Out there in many of those battles you'd rush straight into the fold not even caring if you'd die one day. I always used to think people died because they were weak, I still think that way". Robert even in his drunken daze stopped himself from taking another gulp of wine as Esdeath's words sunk in.
"If that's how you see the world than why am I still alive, when I fought that damn Targaryen prince I saw that he wasn't afraid to die. But he did all the same. I still see myself as weak, I couldn't save Lyanna. And now here I am, king of the bloody seven kingdoms but nothing to make me feel happy". Robert quickly down the goblet and poured another one.
"You still have what I'd believe to be a queen, Cersei Lannister. Hah now that I think about it she sound like a useless excuse of a queen, and even worse as a wife to the great Robert Baratheon. Sounds like a stupid idea for a title. King Robert Baratheon, the stag stronger than a bull. And Queen Cersei Lannister a golden lioness whose roar is her strongest feature, that and her cunt as far as I'm told. She'll never take your name, if only you ignored your hand this one time. Than it would be as you say, Robert and Esdeath Baratheon. The strongest stags to ever exist, your name would've been respected and feared for thousands of years from now". The two started laughing at the thought once again as they continued downing goblets of wine until the jug was empty.
"And now I have him dangling like a fish on a hook, time to reel him in and make him mine".
Unbeknownst to Robert, while the two were laughing at the thought, Esdeath was slowly untying her gown. By the time Robert regained himself Esdeath had loosened it just enough for her enormous breasts to spring out of the gap, Robert could only stare in disbelief as the two giant orbs did a superb job at defying gravity. Esdeath could easily see a tent being pitched in his breeches, and smiled as she just got what she desired. The kings love.
"I'm yours anytime your ready to have me". Robert's response to her comment came with him removing nearly all his clothes before shoving her on to her bed, then climbing on top of her and removing her whole gown. With both of them completely naked Robert grabbed on to her hips before ramming himself inside her and preceded to thrust, Esdeath grabbed his head and buried his face into her chest while suppressing the urge to moan every time he went deeper into her. They continued these actions for nearly the entire night stopping to catch their breaths before resuming.
1 year had passed since Esdeath had got Robert to be with her. Cersei at some point had convinced Robert she was pregnant with his child only to find out that Esdeath was already over 4 months ahead of her. To say this revelation outraged her would be an understatement; it was made even worse with Robert saying Esdeath's children would be legitimate born Baratheon's because she was too arrogant when they were married. This caused her to loose it when she was finally alone, all she could hope for was Esdeath's first child to be a daughter while hers would be a son.
"So over a year has past now, my oaf of a husband has done nothing but hunt and whore while keeping that bitch in the keep because she's carrying his child which he refuses to consider a bastard, I don't care if she's been one of his closest friends during that damned war. If she bores a son I'll kill it myself". Cersei hissed those words as she held her hand where her unborn child was just noticeable.
"If you kill her child she'll kill you in return, they named her the Winter Witch during the war because she could create ice from thin air like a witch". Jaime spoke as he stuck around with his sister; before either of then could say their next words another scream from down the hall cut them off.
"She's been screaming and cursing for her child's birth to end for over 6 hours now, I don't think I can take much more of this". Cersei looked out the window in an attempt to ignore Esdeath's wailing only to see Robert's hunting party return and Robert himself rush up the stairs, he must've heard her screaming from the forest if he returned that quickly.
"Why should you be so worried anyway, you're the queen. If you bare a son then he will be the crown prince and heir to the throne". Cersei only shook her head at her brother.
"She was able to convince Robert that because I refused to consummate our marriage, if she had a son before me then her son would be heir instead". Suddenly both siblings heard silence followed by the footsteps and voice of Robert Baratheon, insisting on opening the door Jaime allowed the two to hear the conversation down the hall.
"Well whats happened, is she okay"? Cersei could only seethe as Robert looked and sounded genuinely concerned about Esdeath's condition, all the while Pycelle was trying to reassure him.
"Your grace she's fine, just resting in fact. I'm surprised she didn't pass out, any other woman would've after birthing twins".
"Twins, what are they like, are they fine"?
"Indeed they are your grace two perfectly healthy sons, she already gave them names". One of the caretakers answered as she walked out carrying filthy rags. Robert could only hold back a cheer; he knew his friend wouldn't let him down. Cersei on the other hand felt reality slip from her as she sat in her seat, realising now that it wouldn't matter if she bore a son or not, Robert's whore of a friend had given him 2 sons and he wouldn't think twice about making one of them his heir.
"Let me see them shall we". Robert barged in to see an exhausted Esdeath nursing two newborns with black crowns.
"So what're their names"?
"The older one in my left arm, Drackon. The other one, Marriston".
This cycle continued for the next 6 years. Cersei gave birth to her son Joffrey 4 months afterward, 2 weeks after Joffrey was born Esdeath announced she was with child again, followed by Cersei 5 months later. Esdeath proceeded to bore 3 Daughters, Edeene, Icarus, and Riegne. Cersei later followed with Myrcella. Esdeath would over the course of 3 years bare her next three sons, twins in names of Braize and Gahn, and the last being Draout. 2 years later Cersei bore Tommen.
Cersei would always coddle Joffrey and never make him see anything outside of the red keep while giving very little attention to Myrcella and Tommen. Esdeath on the other hand allowed her children freedom to explore Kings landing when they were of age but they wouldn't go unguarded until she was confident they could take care of themselves.
