I don't own Vikings and Game of thrones.
Chapter 1
Casterly Rock~
Tywin Lannister is in his private meeting with Kevan Lannister, Genna Frey or Lannister, Maester Creylen and by his left side is his lady wife Lady Margaret, former household of Arryns of Gulltown.
Lady Margaret former member of Arryn had married into this family for a close familial bond of East and west as well her family are wealthiest nobles with connections of merchants. She is dark hair and pale skin and considered a homely appearance, but a devoted wife that will serve her husband no matter what kind of man he is.
She is deeply religious and is clever enough to please her husband. Suffered two stillborn and one miscarriage.
She knew that she had disappointed many bannermen by not giving him a son of her very own. Yet she noticed that if she did had a son. She knew her husband is not above in hopes of getting rid of Tyrion by any means necessary.
She is thankful that she at least has a daughter to love and cherish.
Everyone is puzzled about this meeting.
"Tell me something, has Casterly Rock had ever ruled by a woman who is considered their Lord and master by all the Westlands people?"
Tywin Lannister said to his private family and trusted members.
That set more puzzled and Kevan Lannister answered, "None, brother."
Lady Margaret injected her opinion.
"My lord husband. During the Dance of the Dragons, it was your ancestor's wife, lady Johanna Lannister, who had became regent for her son and defended Westlands against the Greyjoys."
Lady Margaret answered Tywin. His eyes gleamed and questioned her, "What happened after the fleet of the Ironborns failed to take Casterly Rock?"
"She allied herself with the lord admiral of the Reach, Ser Leo Costayne, to have the westermen invade the Iron Islands. When Rodrik Greyjoy was taken to Casterly Rock as a captive, Johanna had him gelded and made him her son's fool. As she had done that deed. Johanna managed to reclaim…"
"Reclaimed the dwindling glory of House Lannister." Tywin finished her history.
He nodded in approval of her knowledge.
Kevan questioned, "You intended Tyrion as your heir? And married him to one of our bannermen girls?"
Tywin glared at him and changed the subject to prove his plan by posing another question.
"Now tell me, does that not say women can rule with an Iron fist?"
Genna looked at him and gasped, "Don't tell me that thinking allowing a woman to rule Casterly Rock?"
Tywin smirked and leaned forward, "I already called in favors from everyone we know and Oldtown is on the subject that will certainly rage on."
Lady Margaret smiled and nodded her approval. "May I say your plan, if it pleases you?"
Tywin waved her and she took a pleasure to say it, "Our daughter, Lady Llewella will be his ideal and legitimate heir to Casterly Rock and rule all of Westlands."
Everyone gasped and was surprised that Tywin never allows such a thing to happened yet there is no lie in his face. He never showed Cersei any difference from Jaime when he was training him as his heir since their births.
"Brother, what of Tyrion?!" Kevan banged his hand on the table and shouted. His older brother shrugged off and said, "I have a better proposal for that imp son of mine. Should he chose wisely then he shall live."
That sent off a tense atmosphere. Lady Margaret is always pious and devoted to the sevenths believes that all lives are precious and have a purpose in life. Plus, she and Tyrion are good friends and her daughter loves her big brother very much.
Lady Margaret looked at her husband and quickly added, "If I may, can we at least allow our daughter to test herself and see what decisions she should make about Tyrion? After all, he and our daughter have a very close relationship since he is practically her true brother."
Genna quickly agreed with Margaret and said, "Yes. At least give her a choice about this matter. It was the same when you were the heir."
Both women are soft on Tyrion and try to protect him from his father as best as they could for him.
Tywin looked at two women and thought to himself. It is true, that he never did make any decisions despite he is his fathers' heir, but couldn't make any choice without his enemies watching him like a hawk.
"So be it." Tywin looked to Measter Creylen and ordered, "Have your fastest raven and send him a word of my intention of making Llewella my legitimate heir after my death."
Measter Creylen bowed and went off to deliver the message.
Tywin said, "Meeting is adjourned."
They all lefts his office while Tywin silently thinks another plan to insured that his ambition and legacy will be carried out.
In their halls
Lady Margaret walked ahead of Keven and Genna as it is customed for their Lord's wife and head of the house is supposed to do.
As Lady Margaret wished to pray in Sept. A voice stops her, "I don't what is your intention, but what you are doing is not right by law. Perhaps Cersei was right about you."
Lady Margaret turned as saw her good brother glared at her. He believes that his glare scared her. Her husbands' glare is more lion than his brother's. She is not afraid of him since her marriage to Tywin Lannister gave her enough skills and knowledge to stand on her own feet.
"I don't know what you believe, my lord brother." Lady Margaret is ambitious and smarter than she looks, but she is also a mother who would never endanger her children's lives. "You forget yourself that I am a parent who would protect and if you dare challenge me or harm my daughter, I will defeat you. No matter what Cersei thinks she can rule Casterly Rock when she couldn't even rule the seven kingdoms as their queen. So, tell me, who do we trust with Lannister Legacy?"
Kevan said nothing and walked away.
Genna came to her side and said, "Will my brother, Kevan be a problem?"
Genna Lannister came to Casterly Rock by the urging of Margaret to help her in the household and is consider her ally as well as her Lady-in-waiting.
"If the gods are so willing to spare him then I can only pray for him to find it in his heart to trust and believe my lord husband's choice and duty to his family."
Genna followed and said, "I wished to pray with you."
Lady Margaret smiled nodded to Genna to follow her into the Sept.
Both women kneeled before the Sevens as Lady Margaret lighten the candle to the father, the Mother, the Maiden, the Crone, the Warrior, the Smith, and…
the Stranger.
Lady Margaret kneeled before the Stranger and lighten up his candle. It is rare for anyone to pray to the Stranger, but Lady Margaret values him more than the other Gods since he shows no discrimination, judgment, or care who this person was before their death.
'Stanger. I Lady Margaret had come before you. To plead and spare my daughter from having any death that may follow her. I asked that she holds favor in you despite you never hold such favors before man before. I beg of you spare her and she or I will deliver you more souls of our enemies by any means necessary. If that does not satisfy you then take my life in her place.'
What she didn't know nor see that the Stranger's candle fire flickered into black color as a sign that the Stranger received her prayer and accepts it.
Kingslanding
The main capital that says it would be the only city with the source of royalty, council, and systems to benefit both nobles and commoners alike.
Sadly, that was centuries ago.
Now it is just a city full of vipers and greedy ambitious nobles that would do anything to grab power.
They would have allies, rivals, and enemies that either join their cause or be their stepping stone.
Now the news came from the Westlands that their economy is improving and creating a system of gathering poor, those who don't wish to work at the whore houses and orphan child that is at least 15 years old is to start working at the farm fields with payment received of course.
This puzzled the many nobles, but this came out as a surprise that Tywin Lannister would create something like that.
Only that was cleared off the misunderstanding about this rumor.
It wasn't Tywin Lannister that should be praised.
It was his second daughter, Llewella.
This made people puzzled, but they couldn't openly scoff and wave off this notion about tales that she is the real brain behind this operation.
Lannisters are to be fear yet it seems that his daughter is a different story.
However, their markets are booming business for all people who wished to haggle and pay for these cucumbers, onions, and watermelons.
They are actually to die for!
-Office of the Master of Coin-
Petyr Baelish seethed in fury.
'Damn those Lannisters!' He was sure that Old Lion would die of embarrassment because his daughter is treated like a male progeny yet Westlands are getting more money that will last them for 20 generations.
He was sure that once he 'borrowed' the gold to bring to Kingslanding and steal it from both Lannister and bring more debt to the throne would be a success to bring them desperate enough to borrow from the Iron Bank.
Yet it failed because Lannister is getting more business and they are prosperity is rising higher every day.
He glared at the letter he received from the House of Lannister that demanded that he must resolve the debt owned by them or else they will just take it by force.
'No doubt that it was the urging from his second daughter. Thinks she is clever just because she is favored by Tywin Lannister.'
Baelish had thought over and over if he should just kill off the old lion but decided against that since he will take pleasure in slowly enjoy the show of Lannister go against Stark.
Maybe he should consider destroying lady Llewella instead.
Perhaps hired someone to defile her and ruin her reputation.
Knock, knock
The sound of knocking on his door snapped out his mind.
It is Janos Slynt who made sure he pays that man well.
"My lord, you require the council meeting."
That boar of King is no doubt wasting money again.
A smirk brought his face.
"Another tourney no doubt." Which means more debt to have them drown and making him richer.
Janos looked nervous and said, "Actually, the King is at the meeting about Lord Lannister's proposal of his chosen heir after his death."
That wipes his smirked right off.
"WHAT?!"
-Queen Chambers-
Queen Cersei Lannister wife of King Robert Baratheon and Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. She is the daughter of Lord Tywin Lannister, twin sister of Jaime Lannister, and elder sister of Tyrion Lannister.
Or rather her saintly little sister, Llewella.
Cersei seethed over the common people loved her bitch of bastard half-sister!
She could have careless over the common people's opinion.
But one thing she cannot stand!
It is the noble's opinion that is praised higher and so much love they have of Llewella than herself!
'I am the QUEEN!' Cersei drinks more heavily from her goblet.
She has always hated that half-blood sister since the moment she was born. Ever since her father decided to marry an all-ready widow-wife of Elbert Arryn.
House Arryn of Gulltown was her stepmother's birth house and they are richer than the House Arryn of the Eyrie.
'I admit they are father does want some blood connection to Arryns, but a widow and already 1 and 20 at that time.'
Cersei was for sure that he wanted a son to replace her imp of a brother and Jaime.
To her bitter disappointment is a daughter was born and one nursemaid comment that she is going to be a true beauty.
Cersei did mock and laugh that his second wife had given him to no living sons, but her comment gave Cersei a death blow.
"Mock me all you desire. Since I am still his wife, I may not be a pure Lannister blood nor name, but you have forgotten that you are Lannister no longer since you marry into a Baratheon name."
That gave her fury. Cersei attacks her stepmother. They went physical fight as Cersei was strangling her stepmother on the ground, but was pushed away from her by Robert!
Tywin came in and ordered his guards.
He arrested his daughter! Cersei was thrown into a dungeon as punishment and her boar of a husband allow that for six months.
That bitch of her stepmother and her daughter still live in Casterly Rock as if they rule their homeland.
That is her right!
Her lands!
Knock, knock
She hissed and yelled, "What is it!?"
A guard came and told her maid, Bernadette.
Bernadette whispers and curtsy at the guard. She dutifully returned to her side and whispers.
Cersei's facial did not show anything, but slowly into confusion than anger. Threw her goblet against the wall as it smashed into pieces.
SMASH! CRASH!
"HE CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!" A great shout can be heard from their halls as she band opened her door and head straight to the small council.
-At King's council meeting-
"BWHAHAHAHAHA!" King Robert laughed so hard. Well, this just made his day! It would appear that King Robert had graced himself before the Council meeting.
He wanted to skip the meeting today until Jon Arryn shoved his letter in the face and smile at the words.
'He has done it! He is doing this!' Robert smiles in glee. His members of the council were shocked and surprised.
The Hand of the King: Lord Jon Arryn, Lord of the Eyrie, Lord Paramount of the Vale, and Warden of the East.
Grand Maester: Pycelle
Master of Coin: Lord Petyr Baelish, known as "Littlefinger"
Master of Whisperers: Varys, known as "the Spider"
Master of Laws: Lord Renly Baratheon, Lord of Storm's End, and Lord Paramount of the Stormlands
Master of Ships: Lord Stannis Baratheon, Lord of Dragonstone
Jon said, "Why would he wish to declare his intention and future unto Lady Llewella? Surely, his son Tyrion could…."
Varys smiled and said, "Lord Lannister is very determined for homeland and he firmly believes that it will be in safer hands to his second daughter."
"The laws state that if there is no living male then it will go to nearest male kin." Lord Renly lazily said and his mind said something else.
'What is that old lion planning?' No doubt he will had to send the Tyrells a raven since they will be hearing this soon.
Grand Measter Pycelle wheezed and said, "If I may say something in defending Lord Lannister's decision. I have tutored and watch sons who would be future kings in my lifetime. Lady Llewella, I am very pleased in tutoring as I see that she has what it takes to face her challenges. Perhaps, this type of change can benefit your grace decision's in accepting his proposal."
Pycelle is always a Lannister man and he did not doubt that Tywin prized his daughter to show his power.
"I agree with Lord Renly," Petyr quickly interjected. He can't allow his plans to be ruin. He had come so close and yet so far from his reach.
Yet the only one who seemed quiet is Lord Stannis.
"Lord Stannis, why have you not said a word? Surely, you uphold your opinion. Tell us what you think?" Jon Arryn stated as all members of the small council leaned forward to hear his opinion.
His words will shocked history.
"I say we agree with Lord Lannister Proposal."
That gave everyone a surprised and gasping look. Lord Stannis Baratheon agrees with Lannister's decisions.
"You forget that I have no sons from my wife and had only one daughter. I consider Shireen my only heir should any male married her and be a Baratheon to rule Dragonstone. After all, I can only hope that Shireen will succeed where my wife fails to produce a son to carry my family line."
That is true, that Stannis only living child is a daughter who had to suffer greyscale when she was a child.
Plus, if Stannis is accepting Lannister's choice in his heir then surely, they would allow the same reason.
King Robert puzzled and gave a thoughtful look until…
BAM!
"Don't you dare my lords to agree on this foolishness!" Out came the 'beloved' Queen Cersei. "No doubt that letter is a forgery as my father would never allow this!"
Every anger in her bone fueled her bitterly. He keeps telling her that Jaime would rule Casterly Rock and her job is to be a lady, yet he would make her bastard half-sister his heir above her. She is a true Lannister!
Varys confirmed that it is Tywin Lannister's seal and handwriting.
Cersei's face turned red and clenching her hands into a fist by her sides.
"It is my father's whore no doubt had a hand in this!" Those who knew Cersei are no surprised that she hated her stepmother despite Lady Margaret did want to be friends with her, but Cersei refused so many times.
Especially, when her father threw Cersei into the dungeon for nearly strangled her stepmother.
King Robert stood quietly and calmly called out to Jaime Lannister to come in.
"Take your sister and locked her inside the maiden vault."
Cersei screamed as she was being dragged by Jaime Lannister. When the queen and kingslayer were gone. Everyone turned back and are in shocked that King Robert didn't yell and argue at all.
"I already received a Lady from Margaret herself before any of this happened. She told me that Tywin is determined to make her daughter his heir and worried about Tyrion's position that will change either set out civil war or worst inner family kinslaying."
Lady Margaret is in favor of King Robert and proclaims her his sister in all but blood.
"She also, said that she is in favor of her husband's decisions, but will allow the small council and the king himself to put a vote in this."
He passes the letter to Jon Arryn to read it. As it repeated the same for the council members.
"I call for a vote." King Robert ordered.
Jon Arryn answered, "Kin we are, but even I must uphold the law and succession. Nay."
Grand Maester Pycelle answered, "Aye."
Lord Petyr Baelish, known as "Littlefinger" answered, "Nay."
Varys, known as "the Spider," answered, "Aye."
Lord Renly Baratheon, Lord of Storm's End, and Lord Paramount of the Stormlands answered, "Nay."
Lord Stannis Baratheon, Lord of Dragonstone answered, "Aye."
Now it all comes down to King Robert to put his final vote. He looks down at his council members and placed his vote.
"I say…..."
End of Credits enter. Three Nay's and Three Ayes'.
What will be Robert's vote Nay or Aye?
Next time:
Prayers and Gods had pushed their servants into a new era!
Lady Margaret of Arryn and Lannister's face claim is Amanda Hale from the White Queen.
