Cersei

Cersei smiled calmly as she made her way through the Red Keep; she had received the agreed upon signal from Rodrik Hill and knew now it was time. She had already made the necessary arrangements, now she just needed to put her plan into actions and that would begin, with this upcoming meeting. Entering the throne room, practically deserted at this late hour, aside from Tommen and her father.

She had asked to meet them there; stating she had important news for them. Tommen was seated on the throne, looking distinctly uncomfortable, her father stood by him, silently, his expression unreadable as always. Undeterred, already aware that things would work out as they were supposed to, she approached them.

'Soon I will be proven right and they will have to accept it.' She thought gleefully. 'They will have to apologize to me and listen to me from now on. This will prove I am clearly more capable than them, thinking and accepting the difficult truths they all seem so willing to ignore.'

Smiling in anticipation at finally getting the respect she deserved, as well as being proven to have been right all along, she walked more briskly until she reached her father and Tommen; the two of them had watched her silently, neither saying a word the entire time.

Finally, seeing that they weren't going to say anything, she knew she would have to break the silence.

"Father, Tommen, I am glad you agreed to meet with me, this is an urgent matter." She remarked.

Tywin replied blandly. "That will for us to decide, Cersei, this better be urgent. We face an ever growing threat and if we find you are wasting our time..."

Tommen then spoke up. "Please make this quick mother; grandfather is right, we face urgent matters after all."

Cersei's nostrils flared at their blatant disrespect towards her; as if nothing she had to say mattered. Well, that would soon change, they would regret their arrogance. King he may be, but Tommen was still her son, he should respect her as his mother, as well as his regent.

Her authority as regent also deserved respect even from her father.

"Yes, well, I'd say it is as it is part of another important matter we've been looking into." She replied coldly. "Margaery's disappearance."

Tommen visibly tensed at that; her father typically did not react.

"Mother; do you know something, where she's been taken, have you found her, have you found my Queen?" Tommen asked at once.

Cersei fought to keep herself neutral; although her irritation spiked. Tommen still laboured under the falsehoods that Margaery was a Queen, as well as being wilfully blind by her unfaithfulness.

Shaking her head she responded.

"You should abstain from referring to her in that manner, Tommen. That slattern has no right to the title after what she has done to you..." Cersei began.

Tywin cut her off however. "You should hold your tongue Cersei, wild accusations, if proven false, will certainly backfire on you."

Narrowing her eyes, Cersei was about to respond. However she quickly composed herself.

Glaring Tommen shocking was the one to respond. "Grandfather is right; you shouldn't speak of Margaery that way, especially when there is no evidence."

"Precisely, unless we have unquestionable evidence that proves Queen Margaery is unfaithful, no such accusations will be made. Is that clear." Tywin added darkly.

Cersei again fought to keep herself neutral, only this time, it was to hide her knowing smile.

'Time to play my first card.' She noted as she replied. "Yes, of course, as you wish. Speaking of this, search for Margaery; I did see something strange earlier."

"What, what did you see, Mother?" Tommen asked; clearly confused.

Tywin raised an eyebrow, clearly waiting for her to continue.

Continue she did as she then explained. "It was a person, they kept their appearance hidden beneath a hood, but they were certainly female. I agree, it could be any woman, but they were acting suspiciously and seemed furtive, attempting to arrive somewhere...in a clandestine fashion."

She could see the two of them, sharing a look.

"I am certain this is worthy investigating, it might be connected." She pressed.

Finally, acknowledging this, her father and Tommen agreed.

Cersei smiled softly, as she stood with others; her father, Tommen, Jaime and a group of Gold Cloaks.

'This is it.' She thought gleefully. 'Rodrik and his men should have begun, as agreed Quentys and Draqos will carry out the act. They'll be imprisoned but smuggled out later with other men...taking their place.'

To Cersei, that was important, but not as important as the main objective.

'Rodrik should have given her the right potion, one to prevent her from resisting and even aid them in their act. We will find that whore, fucking those two like a bitch in heat.'

She knew then, there would be no doubt then that Margaery Tyrell was unfaithful to Tommen and such a crime was treason, punishable by death. She would finally be rid of that scheming lying bitch and would put the arrogant Tyrell's in their place once and for all.

She shook her head. 'They will learn to respect their betters, to respect the Lannisters...to respect me, as they all should.'

She was looking forward to the vindication she would receive. She would be proven right and they would have to admit it; not only that, perhaps they would finally realize they should listen to her, especially regarding other matters such as the war front.

They had followed the trail, which had of course been set deliberately, to the room. It was time, Jaime stood, sword ready to draw, Tommen and Tywin stood just behind him. He nodded to one of the Gold Cloaks and they opened the door, Jaime entered first.

Cersei waited in eager anticipation; but no yells came, no shouting. She was confused by this, then Tywin and the Gold Cloaks entered. Finally, her father called out.

"Cersei, I'm afraid you've led us to something...different."

Narrowing her eyes, especially when she saw two Gold Cloaks emerge and prevent Tommen from entering, she entered the room herself. She froze as she saw what was waiting in the room. Margaery was gone, there was no sign of her anywhere; this wasn't how it was supposed to be.

But for Cersei, worse than all that, Quentys and Draqos were still in the room, dead.

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