King's landing
Ser Barristan pov
Barristan followed Prince Aegon as they moved through the underground passages beneath the red keep
The tunnels are devoid of any light as they are going through the dark cells section of the red keep
The sudden loss of sight bothered Barristan at first but he is sword master,his senses are many times stronger than the normal man,so he quickly adjusted to this,even without his sight Barristan still can picture everything nearby with his other senses
They moved through the black cells for while before they climbed up to the dungeons,after that they quickly found the cell they were looking for
The prince somehow already had the key,the door opened with a click and he and prince entered the cell
Inside the cell there wasn't much light, torches were placed on the walls but they weren't lit,they only source of light is a small barred window high up on the wall opposite to the cell door
Lord Baelish is sitting against the wall under the window in darkness,the prince snapped his fingers and all the four torches on the walls came alive with fire
Littlefinger startled by the sudden change quickly stood up, with the light Barristan is able to have a proper look,the man in front looks haggard and sickly with his pale skin and dark baggy eyes,far cry from the well dressed and groomed former Master of Coin who always had a snide look on his face
Littlefinger got scared at sudden intrusion but when he saw who it was his face quickly turned dark with anger
"Why?"he yelled his voice hoarse,"I just took a little gold,I saved more than twice that for the crown as the master of coin"
The prince sat on the single wooden chair in the cell and put the empty barrel in front of it like a table,then he put the two glasses on the barrel
"There are many reasons,but most importantly because you were going poison the hand of the king"the prince said as he took the flagon from Barristan and poured the translucent red wine in the two glasses
Littlefinger was shocked,Barristan wasn't faring much either,the prince offered the second glass to a shocked Baelish,"Come on it's Dracarys,I heard men kill for just a sip of this wine,one last drink before death" Baelish rattled took the glass and took a big gulp
"You didn't figure it out yet,a week before we returned to the city,Lysa suddenly became ill and sent to vale before you could even meet her,lord stannis arrested you in front of your own establishment and none of your spies in the red keep warned you about it,you even couldn't see the tides turning against you, don't worry Lysa is already dead but a few moons later we will receive the news that she was heavy with child but lady Arryn was too weak for birth,sadly the babe and mother both died,and little robin has taken to reading with passion he would make a great Maester someday"the prince said with a smile
But hearing this Baelish just broke,then he launched himself at the prince like a madman,but before he even get close the prince grabbed him by his neck and pinned Littlefinger to the wall
"Did you really think your son with lysa would be the heir to the vale after you killed the hand,I know you would have killed Alys,Jon Arryn's real daughter and heir,did you really think that I would just sit by and let you kill that innocent girl,you are lucky that I was able to convince the old hand to spare you son and let him be a Maester,you know Ros your dear student had a lot to talk about you,Chaos is a ladder you told her,but you are just a prideful idiot who doesn't even know what the word chaos even means,you are just a one trick pony,you sow discord and conflict and wait for opportunities to rise higher,I have seen many like you, plotting in dark,and just when even one of the plots works and that's when the hubris starts"
"I will destory you and everything you hold dear,you are nothing but a bastard,I will take everything from you"Baelish rambled like a madman while desperately trying to claw at the prince
"You are nothing but a petty man with a good mind for numbers Baelish,you think you are soo clever manipulating others to do your bidding,but you are nothing but a fool trying to act like a master,now varys the spider was a true master,he knew just when to push people apart and when to bring them together,he could keep a sinking ship afloat just to drown it on his terms when he wants to,the spider destoryed my father's plan to dethrone my grandfather during Harrenhal,my father the king knew this but the eunuch still kept his head even after my father won that's how good he was,and that grey rat pycelle,he knew just how to get my mad grandfather riled up whenever my father or grandmother were starting to gain more power and influence in the court,how did you think those two maggots stayed in the small council for soo long"the prince said,further breaking whatever left of littlefinger
Then suddenly Baelish's faced turned red and he started to have trouble breathing,the prince let go of his neck and the man fell to the ground
The prince than squated down to Baelish's face,"it seems the poison in the wine is already taking effect,you will be dead by tomorrow but it will be a slow and agonizing few hours till you finally die,if it were up to me I would have beheaded you with dark sister,the Valyrian steel would have chopped your head clean off before you could have even felt it,but Jon Arryn wants it to be painful,the old man spent a lot of gold just to get this particular poison,I would have said no but it's the only thing he asked to let your son live,tomorrow everyone will hear how you poisoned yourself to avoid facing justice or whatever"
Then Aegon stood up and came to Barristan,"Does he look broken Ser Barristan,Jon Arryn wants him to be completed destoryed and broken while he dies,is this enough or should I go and talk to him about his creepy obsession with my aunt catelyn,so much so he was fucking her sister because he couldn't have her,and he only took Ros under him just because of her red hair"the prince asked
"I didn't know that lord Arryn could be this cruel,remind me not make japes at his old age from now,but I think this is enough your grace,this man won't even find any peace even in the last few hours of his life"
"Absolutely not,how else am I suppose to get through the long ramblings of the old hand if you don't make fun of him,but yes we are done here,I think I wasted enough breath on this pest just so his innocent son can live"
