Tyrion
Tyrion sighed as he checked over everything again; it had been longer than he thought, but now he had finally caught up with everything he had missed and now he knew what he had to do. It was more than he had thought and a lot of what he heard worried him.
'I don't believe it; of all people to be keeping the peace and doing so effectively. I never imagined such changes in Jaime.' He noted to himself. 'Unfortunately it seems Cersei is getting worse and now Joffrey and Father are dead...Gods, this is all messed up, there is still much to do...'
He couldn't just leaves things like this, he knew not all of his family were against him, Jaime had proved that. But in the upcoming war, regardless of how things went, he knew that his family would certainly be targeted, if for no other reason, their treachery of the Targaryen's.
He tried to calm himself. 'Queen Daenerys isn't unreasonable, she spared me when she could have easily had me killed right away...I just, need to plead my case to her.'
He kept thinking, he had to set up more however, he had a plan after all and he had to make sure it was perfect. He considered any other options and possibilities, trying to make sure he thought up all eventualities.
In the end, he knew there was nothing else for it, he would need to plead his case and present his plan, after that, it was all up to Daenerys. So it was he made his way to meet with Daenerys, throughout the whole city, preparations were being made for the upcoming journey to Westeros, to begin Daenerys attempt to unify against Corypheus.
'So, it's almost time, if I'm not quick, I'll miss my chance.' He mused.
He continued onwards and before long he entered the large chamber where Daenerys was currently in the middle of planning for the upcoming war.
"Ah, Lord Tyrion, I'm glad you could make it." She said smiling.
He nodded. "Yes Your Grace, before, before we begin, I need to ask you, for a favour."
Daenerys paused, as did the others present, finally she nodded. "Very well, what is it?"
"It concerns my family; there...some within it who are good people Your Grace." He explained. "I will not deny, there are some I won't be sorry to see gone, or there are those who you would blame or seek to take action against. But there are those who, they don't deserve to die, simply for being named Lannister."
She paused but then nodded. "I...What exactly are you seeking?"
Tyrion simply came out and said it. "I want to plead, for the safety of those family members, those who don't deserve to die, who have done nothing to you and your family, simply being born a Lannister, or even born from a Lannister?"
There was silence, it clear exactly what Tyrion was meaning; Daenerys watched him shrewdly.
He remained calm however, he had a means to possibly help his case.
"If it helps Your Grace, I can ensure that, these family members...perhaps even more, I can ensure their surrender." He told her. "I can ensure they at least do not fight against you."
Daenerys seemed surprised by this but then narrowed her eyes. "How do I know this is true...who exactly are you trying to save. I need more explanation Lord Tyrion."
He did so, explaining those he felt deserved to be saved or protected and why. By the time he was done, Daenerys was quiet, despite the shock and whispers of the others present in the room.
Finally she spoke. "Some of those you say, I understand your reasoning, some I can promise will be safe...I am not in the habit of seeing children killed. But, in regards to Tommen and Myrcella; I will have to wait and see. I have promised myself blood, as for how I get it, that remains to be seen. But I will attempt to do so."
Tyrion let a small smile grace his face. "Thank you Your Grace."
"You make these pleas, yet I've not heard you ask us to spare your sister?" Jorah Mormont remarked.
Tyrion glared. "Please, Ser Jorah, I just ate, I'd rather not bring it back up, thinking of that woman. Do as you wish with her."
Daenerys however was not done. "Yet, you expect me to spare my father's killer?"
"There is more to Jaime than you think Your Grace, his actions then especially." Tyrion said quickly. "Not to mention more recently, the things he has done, what is currently doing..."
Daenerys then smiled. "Well, what you say is true, Ser Barristan did tell me a lot. I am still considering his fate, I will definitely not just...recklessly seek his death, there is much more to consider after all."
Tyrion nodded; it was the best he could hope for, now he just might have a chance, having ensured the possibility of his family's survival, even if the family tree required some pruning.
Finally, after more plans were agreed upon; Tyrion decided to uphold his end of the bargain.
"Your Grace, as I said, I have a plan to ensure the surrender of more of my family, in fact, many of our allies too." He announced.
The eyes were upon him now and he smiled; it was time to reveal his plan.
He calmly revealed his plan. "I intend...to take over the Westerlands; with my father's death they are in fact mine, in regards to birthright; but of course, they are unlikely to just surrender the lands to me."
"So what do you propose?" She queried.
"I require the aid of soldiers...my good friend Dorian; and Lady Josephine Montilyet."
There was some surprise but, perhaps beginning to understand his plan, Daenerys nodded and announced her acceptance of his plan.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
