Please forgive my Grammer and mistakes. I also need a beta if anyone is free.
"No, I won't surrender."
"But Brother- "
"I said No. I am the Lord of Lannisport and if I say the city won't surrender then it won't. Now leave me alone."
Tommen Lannister sighed as he left his brothers Chambers.
He had always known his brother was arrogant and stupid, a dreadful combination indeed, but he never knew it would lead to his family's doom.
His father had often told him back when he was younger, that he would have to help his elder brother and make up for his mistakes.
He wondered how his father would expect him to deal with this situation.
His brother was not only stupid enough to sleep with recently widowed wife of the heir of Casterly Rock but also send her a message asking if she was pregnant with his child.
And the fool did not send the message just once, no he had to send the message again when the Reyne bitch did not send a reply first time.
The woman then came to Lannisport to shut his brother up. She was still adamant the child in her was her late husband's. Tommen thought it likely because after eight years of marriage Lyman had yet to get his wife with child. Neither had any of mistresses given birth to any bastard.
Little did she know someone else had heard the message too.
He had been in the barracks doing paperwork in his capacity as the Lord Commander of Lannisport City Watch, when one of his men had come running to him, telling him that Lord Gerold Lannister was seen heading towards his brother's small castle with an angry expression and a dozen men.
While Lord Gerold knew the man who sent the message was in Lannisport, he did not know the man was his brother.
When he had arrived at his brother's castle he had found his brother's household guard fighting Lord Gerold's men.
In the ensuing chaos Lyman had managed to find Lord Gerold and hold him at knife point.
He had advised to let Lord Gerold go and ask for mercy but the Reyne woman was against it. She knew if Lord Gerold was let free, hers will be the first head on spike.
So she filled his brother's head. She told him about the recent strife between the King and Lord Gerold, She was sure if she agreed to support King's reforms he would side with her. She had even said once her brothers kill Tytos Lannister they will win.
She had been so sure of their victory.
But then the news had come.
Tytos Lannister had routed Reyne men and their allies near Wyndhall. The Red Lion of Castamare was dead by Serrett heir's hands.
Meanwhile the younger died at the Crag and last news was Alyn Marbrand was moving to lay siege at Reyne ancestral seat.
Ellyn Reyne had gone mad with grief. She was in denial. She was shouting at anyone who would hear her that her brothers death was just a lie meant to lower the morale.
Tommen snorted. The morale couldn't even fall any lower.
Once he reached the city walls, he let his eyes roam over the host surrounding the city.
The Crimson and Golden Banner of house Lannister was most prominent but one could also see the banners of Houses Prester, Kenning, Sarsfield, Farman, Jast, Myatt and several dozen other houses.
"Tarbecks joined at noon today. The old lord bought less than two thousand men." A voice said from beside him.
He didn't have to look to recognise whose voice it was.
"How many does it make now?" He questioned his second in command.
"Around twelve thousand, I would say." Answered Aaron Hill.
Tommen grimaced. The City Watch had around eight thousand men who were professionally trained and well equipped.
In ideal conditions, he knew they could easily hold the city against much larger force but these were not ideal conditions.
The moment Rupert Crakehall attacked the city half of his men would turn on other half and welcome the army inside the city.
Hells his own good father Lord Lannett had told him he would side with Lord Gerold.
That was not even counting the Lannister fleet which had stayed loyal to Warden of West blockading the city with ships of House Farman.
The city would fall, there was no doubt about that.
It was just a matter of when. Most likely once Tytos Lannister arrives.
The Raven which had came from King's Landing won't change a thing.
The King had told both sides to lay down their weapons and wait for him to arrive.
But this so called Rebellion would be over before the King even reaches Westerlands.
Tommen knew what he had to do if he wanted his family to survive.
"I want you to wait for my signal." He told his second in command who nodded.
Tommen gather a dozen men loyal to him to make for his destination.
On the way in one of the halls two guardsmen tried to stop him.
"You can't go there." One of the guards shouted but before he could do anything else Tommen's men had already killed him and his partner.
His brother had wanted to put the prisoner in dungeons but even his own servants knew better.
They had provided the man a comfortable Chambers and catered to all his needs from providing him books from library to making him food of his choice.
All in all he looked less like a prisoner more like a honoured guest.
As he entered the Chambers, he saw that Lord of Casterly Rock was reading an old tome from the library. He knew the man had read most of books from library.
"Anything I can do for you, Ser Tommen?" the old man said without taking his eyes off the book.
"It is more of a something what I can do for you, my lord." Tommen said in a respectful tone.
The Warden of West's eyes left the book and stared at him for a while before the man chuckled and said, "Well. Then get on with it."
