Chapter 10: Kings Landing
Cercei was sitting in the throne room watching her son Tommen rule the country. He was so handsome just like Jamie. Out of her children he looked the most like him. He had his bone structure as well as his lips and nose. His hair. Cercei felt prickling in her eyes and she blinked to get chase those tears away. She was not gonna cry for a man who abandoned her. She wrote him week ago pleading with him to come back to come back to her yet he did not even reply. Then her father had the audacity to tell her that Jamie married the little whore and that he was even happy about it and he was in love with her. That hurt more than she thought and for the last couple of days she has been crying herself to sleep. That man will be the death of her one day. She never cried yet because of him she bled tears more and more.
Cercei looked at her son again and his face which had a frown on it. Her father was giving his instruction and he was listening and contracting. The same way that Jamie did. Tommen is going to be a good king. He was compassionate and good and kind. The people will love him. The best part of him is that he is easily manipulated at the age of 15. her father can dictate what to do and how to rule. Tommen looked at the balcony and gave the same small smile that Jamie used to give her. When she fallowed her eyes she saw Margery, that little bitch. Father did not see the threat that they pose to the throne and to their family. That little Tyrell bitch had her son wrapped around her little finger and once she becomes the queen her father will loose the control he has in the throne and she will dictate what to do. Cercei needs to figure out how to get rid of her and her brother. God she had to marry that little cock sucker. She still can bore children so she will have to give him one since Jamie is not here to put a child in her. Both of the Tyrell's brats will say goodbye to other life's soon because she will not let her son be married to that whore and she will not be married to that cock sucker.
"Cercei I need to speak with you." Tywin spoke his voice full of authority. She fallowed him to the small council room and sat down on one of the chairs.
"I have set the date for you to marry Loras. It will happen in two moons time and soon after you will move to Highgarden. You will then have six moths to give him a child. The Tyrell's will annul the marriage if that will not happen." Tywin said and Cercei nearly thrown up. She was so disgusted by that little Knight. She nodded because she knew that he will die before then.
"Jamie is taking good with his wife. He is happy and they are certainly trying for an heir and they seem to enjoy it. I dare say that they are in love." Tywin said. It brought pain to Cercei.
"I will not marry Loras Tyrell." Cercei said.
"Tyrion is dead, Jamie is married and will be the Lord of Caterly Rock and will produce and heir. Sooner or later I will always get what I want and I want you to marry that boy loving knight. You have stated times and times again that you are committed to that family. Now is you time to prove it. " Tywin gave a hard look.
"I don't care about any of that. I will stay in the capitol with my son the King." she said. She will not be separated from another child again. One of her son is dead and her laugher is miles away from her and not a day has gone by that she have not missed her. Tommen is all that she has left.
"When you were nice years old I was called to the Capitol. I decided to take your brother with me not you. You insistent that you will not be left at the Rock under any circumstances and if..." Cercei did not let Tywin finish.
"I am not interested in another one of your stories that you have one because this will not be the time." she said and Tywin still had the same cold look in his eyes like before. Like he was not moved at all. He stood up and poured himself some wine and took a long drink. He they looked at Cercei with a cold smirk on his face.
"Do you think that you will be the first person to be dragged into the Sept to be married against her will." That look send shivers down Cercei's spine but she refused to back down. It was something she inherited from him.
"When you marched into the throne room to tell me we've won the Battle of Blackwater I was sitting there with Tommen I was about to give him Essence of Nightshade. That was how far I was willing to go when I though someone awful had come to take my son away and someone awful is coming to take him away." She said and stood up. Tywin turned away from her but she continued "Jeoffrey is dead, Marcella has been shipped away from my like livestock and now you want to ship me of to Highgarden and steal my boy. MY LAST BOY! Margery will dig her claws into him and so will you and you both be pulling so hard that you will rip him apart. I WILL BURN THIS FAMILY TO THE GROUND BEFORE I LET THAT HAPPEN!" she screamed at her father who stood the stoic and unmoved.
"How will you do that." Tywin asked unimpressed
"I'll tell everybody the truth." Cercei said and although her vice was trembling she was not screaming.
"And what truth will that be." that got Tyrion's attention for the first time. It was her turn to give a cruel smile.
"You do not know do you? You never believed it. How is that possible? What am I saying of course it possible. How someone who is so consumed by the idea of his family have any conception what his family was doing?" Cercei with every sentence got closer to her father and for the first time in her life she saw fear in her fathers eyes. " We were right there in front of you and you did not see us. One look in the last 20 years. One real look at you children and you would have known." she said.
"Know what." Tyrion tried to keep hi vice calm but it broke at the end. Cercei was wearing a big smile in her face as she was saying the last sentence.
"Everything they say is true about Jamie and me." Tyrion shook his head in disbelieve and disgust and turned his head away from her. "your legacy is a lie." she continued
"I do not believe you." he said looking at her. He was no calm, he was not stoic this time. He was scared.
"Yes you do." Cercei had a cruel little smile on her face. Tywin looked at her in disgust and then slapped her hard. Cercei looked at her father in fear and shock. He never raised a hand in her.
"No listen to me you little whore. You will keep this to yourself or I will make your life a leaving hell you hear me. By then marrying Loras will be the least of your worries. Now go get out of my sight, I do not want to look at you. GO!." Tywin said and she listened. For the first time if her life she was scared of her father. She ran to her room and slammed the door shut. She paced the room angry. When she looked in the mirror she had red welt in her cheek. She will not let this slide. She will kill Loras, she will kill Margery and she will kill that little whore that Jamie had married. If she was miserable so will he. He will know no joy until the day that she will be alive. That is a promise.
OOOO bad bad Cercei. Poor Katherine will have to watch her back from now on. But do not fret she can take of herself. Poor Loras has to marry her. Why can't he find a nice boy and fall in love with him and leave with him somewhere in the countryside. If only Renly was alive. Oh well. Let me just clarify that writing degrading thinks about Loras was hard because I am very invested in gay writes and I would never in real life say any of those things. I just had to write those thing because I wanted to be in Cercei's character. The dialogue between Cercei and Tywin was more or less from the show I do not take any credit for that. So review please and soon another chapter will be posted.
