Thank you for the review EndlessReign. This chapter is a bit sad I should warn.

Finally, the night that Cersei was to part with her daughter had arrived. She had delayed this night as much as she could and wished she could delay it more, but the following night was to be a full moon. The witch had told her that her daughter would die on the night of a full moon, so Cersei knew she must not risk it. Her daughter would have to leave tonight.

Earlier in the evening, she had her guards bring the prisoner that would be used for this mission to a private room. She had them chain him up. She hated this man and didn't trust him in the slightest. However, Maggy had all but said he was her only hope if she wanted to ever see her daughter again. Hopefully, he could be bought as easily as it seemed.

So shortly after finishing her supper, Cersei made her way to see him. Once she entered his room, she sat down in a chair opposite him and addressed him, "Bronn".

"Cersei," he replied.

She was about to correct his rudeness and tell him she was to be addressed as Queen, but before she could more words were stumbling out of the fool's mouth.

"So now you got me in this nice private room all chained up. Gonna interrogate me some more? Or finally gonna resort to torture? I've told you all I fucking know. If Jaime..."

"Enough. I didn't have you brought here to discuss Jaime. I've offered you gold and a castle if your information would aid in his capture. It hasn't. Seems you might actually be telling the truth for once in your worthless life."

"Aye so what now then? You gonna actually let me go?"

"Yes and no. I have a task for you."

"A task for me? Well, this outta be fucking great."

"My daughter. I need you to take her to safety. Someone I trust said that you were the only one who could do so."

"Why do you..."

Cersei interrupted, "Don't ask me questions. I won't have it. You know what you need to know. My daughter must be brought to safety. In exchange you will have your freedom and more gold then you've ever laid your eyes on."

"Gold is nice. And I'll take Tyene Sand with me too. Fuck and a castle of course. You Lannisters been promising me a damn castle for eons."

"What makes you believe Tyene is still alive?"

"Because if she weren't you'd have her pretty little head displayed outside as you did with her sisters. Your lovely way of reminding people to not to cross you. You've killed a sister of hers each full moons turn for the past several months. So the guards have said, and I saw the heads when I was marched into the red keep. I figure it can't be much longer until she's next. I happen to be quite fond of her. So I'll be taking her with me."

"Aww, the sellsword is in love. How cute. And if I refuse?"

"Not in love. But she's like no woman I've ever known before. Same as you, only this time in a way to my liking. Not sure what Jaime sees in you. Suppose you must be a good fuck."

"How dare you! Speaking of good fucks, I ought to send the mountain in and see if he has any taste for men. Did you know that he once ripped a man's cock off?"

Bronn seemed unfazed. "You won't do that. You fucking won't."

"You seem pretty confident for a guy in chains."

"And you seem to need me to do this task you for you, for some odd reason you need me. You could choose anyone else. Yet you are choosing me. Now tell me, why is that?"

"My reasons are none of a lowly sellswords concern. Will you do it or not?"

"Depends. Will I get my castle and Tyene?"

"Is your freedom and gold not enough?"

"Perhaps it is. Perhaps not. Give me a couple days to consider it."

"I don't have a couple of days."

"Suppose you should fucking ask someone else then."

"I...fine. You can have the gold, and the sand bitch."

"And the castle?"

"You can have the twins."

"I'm assuming you mean the castle called that and that you aren't inviting me to share yours and Jaime's bed if the situation arises?"

"Careful. You don't need your tongue to do this task for me. I've had enough of your remarks."

"Very well then. Such a fine deal. How do you plan for me to hold onto such a large castle?"

"I will give you a deed decreeing it to you. If any vermin has since taken it over they will have to leave. If his unmarried daughters have any issue they are hardly in a place to protest. I have the men to spare. So long as that dragon bitch isn't on her way back yet."

"Very well then. When will I be leaving?"

"Tonight. As soon as it is dark. I will have your sand whore cleaned and ready to go with you." With that Cersei left. She returned A short time later with Tyene.

Bronn gasped when he saw the state Tyene was in.

"You're a monster," he told Cersei.

"She's partially responsible for the death of Myrcella. She had to pay!"

"Well, fuck what would you have had her done? Warn Myrcella? That mother of hers is just as vengeful as you. She would not have forgiven her child betraying her. You of all people should know that!," Bronn defended.

"Be that as it may she's my prisoner and a rather unruly one at that. Don't look so horrified. Most of the damage is healable and it's not as if she is missing an eye or anything. Why I haven't even let the mountain have his way with her and unfortunately now he never will. Such a pity. Don't concern yourself with such frivolous things as some pretty whore. Though she doesn't look quite so pretty all covered in bruises. Your only concern should be to get my daughter to safety and to never tell a soul where she is. I've decided that Qyburn will be accompanying you to ensure no harm comes to her."

"No, I will not leave," stated Tyene finally speaking up.

"You won't?" asked Cersei amused.

"I am not leaving without my sisters! They've done nothing wrong. You've more than gotten your revenge. My poor mother has watched almost all of my sisters die including her daughters Obella and Elia."

"Such sass. I can see why you're your mothers favorite. Your sisters will be fine, at least until they die. I don't torture children," stated Cersei

"I am not leaving here without them."

"I cannot allow you to take them. Your mother is to watch them die as my brother watched Myrcella die. Besides that, I need them as collateral in case you do something to my child."

"You don't need them both as collateral."

"Fine. Choose one. That is all I will allow. This is me being merciful and kind."

"Dorea."

"Interesting choice. I would have thought you'd take the younger one. Very well. I will have her cleaned and dressed in disguise as soon as possible. I will inform Bethany to quickly bathe and dress her."

Once Cersei left the room she headed to see Qyburn. She hated to take him away from his work, but he was the only one she could entrust with this. Hopefully, he would not be too disappointed at being taken away from his work. The break would be good for him, she hoped. Perhaps some time away from his work would give him a new perspective on things and he would return refreshed and invigorated, and able to finally solve the problem of unbinding Euron's dragonhorn to him so that another could use it. So long as the dragonhorn was bound to Euron, she could not and would not kill Euron. To do so would mean the death of Viserion, and she wanted to ensure she had two dragons under her control, not one.

She knocked softly on his door, more as a sign of respect then anything, anyone else and she would have just entered the room, as she was Queen.

"Qyburn?"

"My Queen. Come in."

"Qyburn, as you know, Bronn will be leaving tonight with Teressa and my daughter."

"I know. You wish for me to go with them, correct?"

"I do, In spite of what the witch says, I still do not trust Bronn with this. And he demanded to take Tyene with him! Bethany is dressing and cleaning her and her sister Dorea as we speak. You will go with them. You will make sure my daughter is in safe hands and return to me with the knowledge of where she is so that I may later be reunited with her when it is safe. Of course for her safety, you will not tell me until the time is right for me to reunite with her, which, from what the witch has said shall be a year and some months from now. The knowledge that one day she will be with me again is all I have left. I've lost Jaime and all my other children, and I will lose my throne too. But my loss of this child doesn't have to be forever. It's obvious the only way to ensure so is knowing where my daughter is."

"I suspected you would likely send me to go with Bronn and Teressa. Days ago I packed a small sack with some clothes and books to occupy myself on the journey. I have not left the red keep in many months and I do suppose it will be good for me to get some fres...air."

"Who else exactly is accompanying me on this journey?" asked Qyburn.

"Bronn as you know and now his sand bitch, Tyene Sand is to join him. Bronn insisted she come. As I don't have time to torture him into doing my bidding, and my offer of just gold and a castle made him want to take a few days to consider, I have no choice. Her sister Dorea is going with them as well. Tyene refused to leave without her. And of course, Teressa will be going with them to ensure my child is fed. She is to return with you unless no other wet nurses can be found for my daughter. I have heard they are in quite the demand now, with so many of them joining their husbands or lovers to go north."

"I see. When do we leave?"

"Soon. Follow me. We are just waiting for Bethany to clean up Dorea. I am going to say my goodbyes now, in private to my daughter and nurse her one last time. Of course, I know she can't understand me yet, but there is so much I wish to say to her. I am glad she won't remember us being apart."

Cersei led Qyburn to Bronn and the others and then went to the room her daughter was being kept in.

Cersei picked up and just held her daughter for a moment and examined every inch of her, especially her face, trying to store the image to memory. She wanted to ensure she would remember this image to give her strength in the months to come. Then she breastfed her one last time. Although she did not breastfeed any of her child nearly as long as Lysa Tully, she did breastfeed them until they were nearly three. However her milk would dry up long before then, so sadly this would likely be the last time she would ever breastfeed her daughter.

She couldn't help but cry as she held and breastfed her daughter. More then a whole year would go by before they would be together again. Cersei didn't know how she would make it through until then.

After some time Cersei had cried all the tears she could. An hour must have passed. She wiped her eyes dry and splashed some water from a nearby basin in them to try to conceal the redness. Then picked up and carried her daughter for what would be the last time for quite a while. She tried not to think of how much bigger her daughter would be the next time she saw her. Would she even recognize her?

Finally, she gave her daughter one final kiss and spoke some final words to her. "We will see each other again. And I will make up for all the lost time. I promise. This is what I must do to keep you safe. I would do anything. I will miss you so so much."

I've kind of mixed book canon in a little with show canon here. In the show, I think Tyene is Ellaria's eldest (it never outright says though, does it?) and in the books I've read Tyene isn't even Ellaria's daughter. In my story Ellaria had all her children that she does in the books, plus Tyene like in the show, and as mentioned in a previous chapter Euron raids Dorne and captures the younger ones some weeks or months after capturing and killing some of the elder ones. In my story Tyene is still the eldest of Ellaria's daughters, she just has more younger full-blooded siblings like in the books.

What do you think will happen next?
