I own nothing
A big thank you to Boramir you gave me an idea for the conversation in this chapter. Thank you for all the reviews and favorite and followers of this story. I'm still trying to come up with title for the sequel to this story. You have any ideas message me or leave it in a review.
Tyrion and Raenera sat in carriage staring at each other as it started to move. Tyrion eyes wonder to the direwolf at his feet to the three dragons that were crawling over seat next to Raenera.
"How did you come to have them?" Tyrion asked.
"Roose Bolton bastard burnt me alive in front of the Hearttree."
"Ah yes you pray to old gods."
"They are the only ones who ever listen to me."
"You know, when I was child my uncle asked what gift I wanted for my name day. I begged him for one of them."Tyrion started indicating the dragons. Raenera was petting Selaera and Visenya heads. Rhaenys started to climb down off the seat and made her way over to other chair were Tyrion was sitting. "It would even have to be big dragon I told him. It could be little like me. Everyone laughed as if it was the funniest thing they ever heard. When my father told me the last dragon had died centuries ago. I cried myself to sleep that night. But here you are. What are their names?"
"This is Selaera, and Visenya. And that one is Rhaenys. She's the sweetest of them. Visenya is much like her namesake. And Selaera came be very temperamental and hardest to control."
"You made them after Aegon sister that help him take the Seven kingdoms."
"Yes, I am a conqueror like my ancestors. And we will take back what is mine by right."Raenera said.
"That doesn't sound like Raena I knew."
"You didn't really know me. Only Lord Arryn knew me fully and now Robb. You knew the part of me I wanted you to know. I want it done with as few lost of life as possible. So you are living because of your promise of Casterly Rock without single loss of life." Raenera said like it was matter of fact.
Raena moved the drapes of carriage looking at the country side as the moved toward Riverrun. Tyrion touched Rhaenys on her head as he looked at Raenera. There was more and he knew it.
"It more than that" Tyrion said.
"You served as Hand of the king when your father was fighting in the war. Yes?" Raenera paused. Tyrion nodded his head. Her purple eyes met his green eyes. "Then you know that the crown is in debt. I believe half of it is owed to your family, the Lannister. Who is the other half owed to?"
"The Iron Bank my queen."
Raenera sighed. This was worst then she thought. She had a plan to get rid of the part of debt that was owed to the Lannisters. They would not like it but it was going to happen. For even considered sparing both of their live.
"I want the Lannister's part of debt forgiven for even considering to sparing you and Jaime after what you have done."
"That seems reasonable. How do you plan to get the rest paid off?"
Raenera brought her hand to her chin. Something that never sat well with her was how Baelish seem to gain money as the crown loss money. She would not be shocked to hear that he was skimming money away from the crown for years. She did not have proof of this. Other then he made her uncomfortable and she did not like him or for that matter trust him.
"What would say to me if I were to tell you our Master of Coin, Petyr Baelish has somehow become fantastically wealthy while the crown, that was flush with cash at the end of Robert's Rebellion, has become effectively bankrupt? Something does not add up to me; does it to you?" Rae asked.
"Not at all, how do plan to get to bottom of this."
"I still have friends in King's Landing I set them to finding out the truth. The first matter would be to find him. Once he is found I will threaten him. I'm sure he had hand in Ned Stark's down fall. Robb and all of the North will want him dead. I will threaten him with being burn alive by my dragons until he tells me the truth. Once the truth is out, I'll let Robb remove his head for his crimes."
"Ah the ruthlessness of the Targaryen family" Tyrion commented.
"And the North"
"Remind me never to get on your bad side."
Raenera laughed. Tyrion join her in it. They were back to their understand that they had in King's Landing.
"It's more than the coin problem isn't it."
"Yes, you know how to play the game?"Raenera asked.
Tyrion nodded his head. They met eyes again. Selaera climbed over to him as well. He back up into this seat.
"I like to think I'm quite good at it."
"Good. I need you to do something for me."
"And what is that?"
"I want you to help Robb to win. I won't always be by his side. A war camp is no place for a woman, even a queen. Before, long I will be carrying his heir and that would cause there to be an even bigger threat to me. Because if I birth him a son, a legitimate heir."
"With Stark and Targaryen blood, it would have more claim to that throne than Joffery ever could."
"And your father…"
"Will want it died along with it mother. Good thing you have the best sword man as your sworn sword."
"And if I know Robb like I do. I will have a legion of Kingsgaurds the best sword men in all of Westeros." Raenera stated.
They both laughed half heartedly. Raenera reach down and petted Starlight head. Tyrion still looked at Selaera in fear. She gave up on him giving her attention flew over to her mother. Rhaenys followed her coming rest of Raenera's lap curling up to sleep.
Meanwhile, near the front of the group. Robb rode his eyes always watchful. Smalljon rode up to ride at his side. Robb turned and looked at him. He was one of his trusted guards. If he had his way he would one of his Kingsgaurds.
"Your grace, I must ask you something"
"What is it Smalljon?" Robb asked.
"I would like to take Lady Sansa as my wife. If it pleases you"
Robb looked at Smalljon. His idea for him being a Kingsgaurd went out the window. He saw Sansa and Smalljon together they seem to get along quite well. It also solved who she would marry. He would not have to promise her to be away from their mother. Last Hearth was closer to Winterfell then Highgarden or any of the other lord keeps. Smalljon would protect her better than any man he knew. Smalljon eyes were pleading for him to say yes but at the same time his face was set in stone. It reminded him at time of Rae face. They were without shadow of doubt cousins.
"Keep her safe. It pleases me Smalljon. You will wed when this war is over. They people will need some happiness after it all." Robb stated.
"Thank you your grace."
"Let me tell my mother and her of your betrothal. I will tell them when we stop for the night."
Smalljon nodded his head. Smalljon looked over to Greatjon. Robb looked back ahead of him.
Robb turned his head ridding back to where his wife carriage was slowly moving forward. He spied the Kingslayer but there was no sign of the imp. The sells sword was attempting to joke with Prince Oberyn. Robb rode over to Jaime. Jaime looked over to Robb.
"Where is your brother Kingslayer?"
"He is in the carriage with Her Grace."
"He is in there alone with her?"
"She has her three dragons and her direwolf with her. I very much doubt Tyrion is stupid enough to try anything." Jaime stated.
Robb put up his hand stopping the carriage. He dismounted Jaime stopped along with the carriage. He walked over to the door opening the door. Raenera and Tyrion were talking about books.
"Your grace"
"My love"
"Lord Tyrion, I would like you to join me at the front of the party." Robb said.
Raenera looked at Robb. It was clear that he did not trust Tyrion. Tyrion nodded his head standing up causing Starlight to growl when he nearly stepped on Visenya. The dragons had become her pups while she was pregnant with own pups. Raenera did not argue with Robb. Once, Tyrion was out of the carriage, Jaime dismount to help Tyrion onto a horse. Robb stepped into the carriage enough to kiss her. She moaned into his mouth.
"I love you but you drive me so crazy"
"We were discussing something Robb"
"What my love?"
"The price for even considering sparing their lives"
"And what price is that?"
"The debt that the crown owes to Lannister will be forgiven in exchange we will consider sparing Ser Jaime and Tyrion lives, my love."
"You plan to spare them anyway"
"They don't know that. Beside, Tyrion is smart and can help us." Rae said.
"Did I mention how much I love you?" Robb asked placing his hand on her stomach.
"Not much as I love you my king. Why are you really here my love?"
"Smalljon asked me for Sansa hand. And I agreed."
"Sansa will be so happy."
"You think so"
"I know so; I think if Ser Jaime proves himself we marry him to Evalyne."
"Your lady in waiting?"
"She is beautiful girl. She has brother in the Nightwatch along with your half brother. I've seen they way she looks at him. And way he looks at her."
"Still your matchmaking until he has proves himself, my queen. I must go, we will stop later tonight."
"When will we arrive at Riverrun?"
"A week time"
Robb kissed her again. She kissed him back her hand wrapping around his neck. He pulled away rest his forehead against hers.
"I love you" Rae moaned.
"And I love you" Robb said catching his breath.
Robb turned looking at Starlight. She rested on the floor with two of three dragons crawling over her.
"Keep her safe" Robb said to Starlight before he exited the carriage.
Robb mounted his horse again. Jaime walked over shutting the door of carriage. Hitting the top of it so they knew it was okay to move again. He moved back to his horse mounting it ridding by the carriage side. His eyes trained on the surrounding.
