Author Note's: I'm going to write a chapter where we show a desperate Tywin Lannister. The Tyrells no longer ride or fight beside him, which seems to show that his power is decreasing. The Phoenix is slowly breaking him only he doesn't seem to know it.
Tywin Lannister is in his tent at the Reach outside of Highgarden. He seems to be going over strategy on how to beat the Phoenix. It seems to be difficult for him because he has no idea on what the Phoenix is planning on the count of no spy can't infiltrate him.
Bronn enters he seems to have been doing interrogation for days.
Bronn: Well Victarion doesn't know nothing. I guess The Phoenix didn't tell him anything.
Tywin: That or the Phoenix told Euron, but Euron never told Victarion because he knew he would capture by us.
Bronn: Well then I guess to know what the Phoenix is up to, we need to find Euron Greyjoy.
Tywin: Indeed. Ser Bronn I'm going to admit something right now. She's right, the Phoenix has outsmarted us all. He was very well prepared, every attack we brought on him he wanted to happen. And now he has Ser Loras, ruining our relationship with the Tyrells. Stannis Baratheon has joined arms with him and now we don't know what his next move is. He could be going to Kingslanding or coming here, or he could be waiting for us to come to him. Either way it's work out well for him.
Bronn: You still have banner men in the Westerlands right.
Tywin: Even if I outnumber him two to one with the men I have here and the Westerlands, he just showed us strategy beats number anytime. To beat him, I need to overwhelm him with numbers far superior that even if he was to fight me, he would be nothing more than a mad man.
Bronn: Well couldn't you just negotiate with the man.
Tywin: It's too late for that... there is no negotiating with him. This war is over when one of us is dead.
What we see is no longer the military mastermind or political genius anymore, what we see is no more than a man on the verge of becoming broken, who has finally admitted that he has been bested and outmaneuvered and outsmarted by a man that knows how he thinks.
Tywin: I think we should make our way to the Westerlands, there a chance that Euron Greyjoy is there, perhaps if we capture him while we still have the chance we can get a glimpse of the Phoenix plan then. My army waits for me there anyways we need to put our minds together and find a way to beat him. Admitting that I was wrong about him is a good step to victory. Gather the men Ser Bronn we march tomorrow.
Bronn: Yes Lord Tywin.
Bronn leave the tent to go inform all Lannister men that they'll be leaving. Tywin looks over the map to figure out The Phoenix next move... it's definitely shows that the Phoenix is no Robb Stark, both good with strategy, only the Phoenix was always steps ahead.
Petyr Baelish is shown being questioned by Lord Yohn Royce, Lady Anya Waynewood and Ser Vance Corbay, about Lysa Arryn death. They also seem to be reading the scroll that was left. they obviously can't pinpoint him this time, because no witness to testify, and the note and seems to be convincing enough anyways.
Yohn Royce: I can't believe what I'm reading. Lady Arryn poisoned her husband at Kingslanding, and blame it on the Lannisters.
Littlefinger: Lysa Arryn was very overly protective of her son, she worried about being far away from him.
He seems to making up some tears.
Littlefinger: When I read the note myself, I was shocked. Ned, Catelyn, and Robb Stark lost their lives by the hands of the Lannisters all because of Lysa one lie. She loved her son so much, but even when we were married, I saw looked like she was holding some guilt inside her... when I saw her by the moon door, I tried to convince her to step away. I guess she didn't love me enough to save herself.
Lady Waynewood: Were so sorry for your lost Lord Baelish.
Ser Vance continues reading the letter.
Ser Vance: It says here that she leaves you in charge of the Vale... until Robin Arryn comes of age. I guess this makes you acting Lord of the Vale.
Littlefinger: I will do my duty wisely. As my first act as Lord regent of the Vale, Lord Royce I think it would be best if you were to foster Robin, make him a strong leader that the Vale will need in the future, also that the Vale needs to aid Tywin Lannister in his war against this man that has caused such havoc; The Phoenix.
Lord Royce: The Vale has heard of this threat. Very well Lord Baelsih, it will be done. We will give you 30,000 knights to aid Tywin Lannister. Also I will gladly foster Robin Arryn.
Lord Royce is actually having difficult saying this because he wanted to go to war with the Lannisters since Ned Stark was captured.
Lord Baelish acts with joy, and then in secret makes a devilish smirk to himself. So this is what he has in mind, but will it end here.
Author Notes: Ok, I made Lord Baelish acting Lord of the Vale. He intends to use the knights to Aid Tywin Lannister so he can help get rid of Phoenix for good. Why? Well remember the Phoenix is one of the few men that has the mind to stop Baelish from achieving his goals; whatever they are. So he need the Phoenix gone, or else The Phoenix wil expose him as the traitorous, manipulative weasel that Baelish is.
Also it never seems likely that Tywin Lannister would never admit for being wronged, but I wrote that just to show that he is human who has flaws. And to win battles you must learn from those flaws so you can never repeat them... but still Tywin is broken somehow still, because the Phoenix took out Tywin armies in the Riverlands, killed the Mountain and is now making a plan siege to Casterly Rock; where Cersei happens to be.
Will Tywin figure it out or will he be too focus on wanting to get the Phoenix by catching the most dangerous Greyjoy ever; Euron Greyjoy? Keep reading and you'll find out.
