Wolfgirl2013: Yeah and here you go :)
Veridissima: Thanks, glad you enjoyed it, glad you liked them, yeah, it was a nasty surprise, but the question remains, where is Arya then, don't forget she practically disappeared/was last seen in the last story, arguing with Robb and Gendry.

Now onto the story.

Jaime

Jaime sighed as he made his way slowly to the secluded chamber that was his destination. He knew that what was about to happen wouldn't be easy, but it had to be done. If Ser Tobias' suspicions were correct, then the truth had to come out and justice had to be done.

'It will be hard on Ser Tobias most of all; for the role he must play in this. But there is no other way.' Jaime noted sadly to himself.

Reaching the chamber he stepped inside, Ser Tobias stood, waiting, pacing the room. He looked up and when he saw it was Jaime he turned to face him.
"Lord Commander, I..."

Jaime shook his head. "I know Ser Tobias; this will be difficult, but you must persevere. It's the only way to confirm your suspicions."

Ser Tobias bit his lip but then straightened and nodded. "So be it then...Jenna will be here…?"

"Soon, which reminds me, I best take my place." Jaime replied. "Remember, you are the key to unlocking this mystery, I am your witness and Ser Kaleb is already searching for other evidence."

Ser Tobias seemed nervous again. "What of your brother, Lord Commander?"

Jaime nodded. "Ser Balon watches him, apart from the two of you, he is the only one here that I can completely trust. Ser Loras is still on Dragonstone and the others watch the King."

Ser Tobias nodded and composed himself. The room was bland except for a few decorations, a bed and a screen, it was behind this screen, out of view, that Jaime hid himself, kneeling down and began waiting.

He did not have to wait long until the door opened and he heard the soft footsteps, the door closed.

"Tobias." A female voice said, just barely above a whisper.

Jaime knew the name was as much a question as a statement, he recalled hearing that Lady Jenna was blind.

Tobias grunted and replied. "Jenna."

Jaime could hear the delight in Jenna's voice as she replied. "It is you, I thought you'd never contact me. Why do you think I came to the castle...We can now finish what we started, before we were rudely interrupted."

"What you started you mean." Tobias snapped. "You honestly think I wanted any of that."

"Oh Tobias, stop playing games, I may be blind, but I know a lie...You..." She replied, coyly.

Tobias cut her off however. "It matters not anymore, I am Kingsguard now, I cannot..."

Jenna scoffed. "Like that even matters, none of the Kingsguard hold to their oath of chastity, so why should you be any different. Such a pathetic excuse."

Even from here Jaime could feel Tobias' anger; he just prayed the man would keep in control, he needed Tobias focused in order for this to work.

When Tobias replied, his voice was level. "I care not about that...I'm more interested in learning about mother."

That did the trick, the atmosphere in the room changed palpably.

He could hear the rapid footsteps and guessed Jenna was pacing the room now.

"You want to hear about that old crone, that...that witch!" She snarled, no longer sounding seductive and charming.

She was suddenly cold, and very angry.

Tobias replied as calmly as he could. "How did you expect her to react, catching you attempting something so, immoral."

Jenna stopped pacing and her words were laced with so much venom, Jaime was shocked she could even speak.

"She had no business stopping our love, she dared, she dared stand in the way!" She paused before then adding. "Then she went and told your father, let that...that man humiliate me like that!"

Jaime knew what she was referring to, the penance walk she was forced to endure through the town as repayment for trying to seduce and bed Tobias. Yet Jenna did not seem to see, the only person to blame for her fate was herself.

"Love, I already told you Jenna." Tobias remarked disgustedly. "I do not love you that way, it is not right and..."

Jenna growled. "Lies, enough with the lies, you cannot deny it, just like you cannot deny that bitch got what she deserved!"

Tobias jumped on that. "God what she deserved, what do you mean, tell the truth Jenna, what do you mean!?"

"You want the truth, fine, I pushed her, I lured that witch to the top of the Sept, then I pushed her, she scratched my face, she ruined my face! She ruined me, she got what she deserved, I removed the obstacle between us, but you ran off!"

That was all Jaime needed to hear, and Tobias too it seemed.

Tobias then spoke, his tone made it clear just how shocked he was by Jenna's outburst, what she had revealed.

"You murdered her, you murderer our mother?"

Jenna scoffed. "I gave her what she deserved; not that it matters, no one would believe you anyway."

Tobias then replied; his voice still distant. "Oh, but I wasn't alone, I have a witness."

Jaime took that as his cue and stood out from behind the screen and spoke.

"Lady Jenna Bolton, I am Lord Commander Jaime Lannister of the Kingsguard, you are under arrest, for the crime of patricide."

"No, no, you cannot!" She cried out. "You cannot do this, your word alone isn't enough, You sister, the Queen Regent is my mistress, I serve her, she will..."

Jaime shook his head and took hold of Jenna, just as the door opened to admit Ser Kaleb.

"What did you find?" Jaime asked at once.

Ser Kaleb then spoke. "Just as we suspected, letters, personal diaries of Lady Jenna's, all of which confirm her guilt. Sorry I took so long, I was getting, verification. I imagine this was the real reason Lady Amelia was murdered, she found these letters."

Jenna shrieked but it was no use, Jaime maintained his grip; they had all they needed, now it was time for justice to be done, to show Cersei how it was done.

So it was that Jaime presented his evidence to his father, Tommen and the royal court. He and Tobias gave their accounts of what Jenna had told them. Jenna's defence was pitiful and in fact, only Cersei seemed eager to take her side.

"We also have certain documents pertaining to these events." Jaime revealed. "Retrieved thanks to Ser Kaleb, we've had them verified, by not one, but five experts who all confirm it is Lady Jenna's handwriting."

Cersei glowered at that. "Be that as it may Jaime, it is in the past and..."

"No Cersei. "Tywin interrupted. "Patricide is patricide, and murder and justice must be done. The evidence is clear enough and has been substantially backed up...Unlike evidence in another matter."

Cersei did not miss what he said there and glared again.

"Therefore, this time we can pass sentence, and know it is justice...death." Tywin stated calmly.

Jenna screamed and pleaded, Cersei protested, but nothing could be done, Jenna was taken out, to meet her fate at last.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
