"Mama!" A small child exclaimed, running through the gardens. She was running as fast as her four year old legs could carry her. Her gold curls were pinned back with a green ribbon, her locks trailing behind her. She was dressed finely, a green dress with gold thread scuffed the ground, the dress slightly too long for her figure. Dangling from one hand was a stuffed lion, or "Leo" as she had come to call it.

The little girl had spotted the strange men entering the castle from her spot next to a window with her septa. Ignoring the woman's complaints she had escaped her lessons and come to find her parents. She knew instantly that they didn't belong to her father, he didn't an army of dark-skinned foreigners.

Whilst she was too young to understand what was happening she knew that it was something important so her first instant was to find her mother and father.

She was so distracted by thoughts of the strange soldiers that she bumped into someone. The force knocked her backwards to the ground sharply. Trying not to cry the small child looked up at the obstruction.

Stood in front of her was a short man. He was much shorter than any adult she had ever met and he had a horrific scar across her face which she struggled to see past. He was dressed finely, like a Lord, but she didn't recognise him from her fathers regular visitors.

"You are rude!" She exclaimed, ignoring his outstretched hand to pull herself up. "You made Leo dirty."

The short man chuckled to himself. "Leo? Is he your toy?"

She scowled and puffed out her chest. "Leo is a brave and fierce lion. Call him a toy again and I will tell him to bite your head off."

"I'm sure I'll be able to handle myself against him."

Something about this stranger annoyed her, people didn't usually talk back at her, and especially not as rudely as her was.

"I've taught him well. He doesn't like strangers being mean to me, if I say to bite you he will." Her face was completely serious and she clutched Leo to her chest, his cloth claws pointed in the mans direction.

"I assume you are Lady Loren, I've heard a lot about you." The men shocked Loren, who didn't like being patronised.

It annoyed her that someone knew who she was whilst she was completely oblivious to his identity.

"Who are you?"

The strange man smiled sadly and touched her shoulder. "Come with me to see your parents and they will explain who I am."

Loren raised her foot and jabbed sharply at the mans leg. "No! Mother says not to talk to strangers."

She heard footsteps behind her so she turned to look. Stood there was her father and mother, who was holding baby Willas. Her mother seemed to be in complete shock, she passed the baby to her husband before speaking.

"Loren, come over here this instant. Get away from that man." Joanna seethed, clutching her daughter as she ran to her.

"Dear niece, I see you still blame me for your brothers death."

Niece? Loren thought in confusion. As far as she knew her mother only had 2 uncles. There was uncle Jaime, who was a solider who uncle Tommen in Kings Landing and one of her Tyrell uncles who practically bored her to death.

"You were found guilty at the trial. You had the motive." Joanna spat bitterly, bringing up long forgotten memories.

"Trust me Joanna. Lots of people had a motive. Sadly your mother was unable to see past her own hatred."

"Why are you even here Tyrion?" She asked. "I could send for the guards and have you arrested and sent to Kings Landing immediately."

Tyrion took and step forward and shook his head. "I am happy to say that our beloved family is no longer in charge as of yesterday. I decided to deliver the news to you myself."

Distressed Joanna turned to her husband who placed a hand on her shoulder.

"What are you talking about?" Loras queried as he held his son to his chest.

"Queen Daenerys Targaryen has taken the throne with her three dragons. Those who opposed her quickly fell."

"If you've hurt Tommen you sick bastard I swear I will-"

"Your brother has not been harmed. The Queen promised him that if he surrendered then he wouldn't be harmed."

Breathing a sigh of relied Joanna picked up her daughter.

"So what happens now?"

"You and your husband come with me to Kings Landing to pledge your allegiance. Your, Tommen and Myrcella have been declared bastards but the Queen has promised to legitimise you all as Lannisters if your swear to her. Tommen is now my ward and heir and Myrcella is to stay a Martell."

"You would betray your family that easily? For the power that this family never gave you." Joanna sounded disgusted, to betray ones family was the worst crime imaginable to her.

"No." Tyrion sighed, realising that he couldn't win this argument. "I did it for the respect that your family never gave me. Joffrey and your mother destroyed this kingdom to a point of no return. Westeros deserved better so I found better."

Unable to cope anymore Joanna took her children and walked away, back into the castle, leaving Tyrion and Loras alone.

"This has changed everything." Loras said, still in shock.

"Change for the better. I promise that you and your family will have a good life as long as you can control your wife."

"Nobody can control Joanna. I'll make sure he pledges allegiance, she listens to me."

Tyrion chuckled. "Then you're a better man than I."

Loras smiled and looked as the Targaryen soldiers came into view. "Here's to the new Queen."

The Lannister waved away the soldiers, pleased with how the situation had gone.

"Here's to a new Westeros."

So that's it. After 6 months and 50k words this story is finally over. When I started this I imagine it would go the same way as my other stories, a few chapters then I lose interest. It's because of the amazing support I've had from everyone's who has followed, favourited and reviewed that I've been bothered enough to write more.

I'm not sure when I'll start writing to sequel but it should be about a week. For those who have read the beginnings of my Sansa/Tyrion and my Rhaenys stories I apologise but I probably won't be updating until after the sequel has started properly.

Thanks to everyone who has stayed with this story since the beginning and I hope I haven't let you down
