I own nothing
Wow, thank you for all your support. I hope you all enjoy this chapter. Sorry for the lack of updates, I have been going through so health issues. I suffer from migraines. So when I have one it hard to concentrate on a complex story such like this.
Tywin made his way into the Throne Room he needed to speak to Joffery. Joffery sat on the Iron Throne lazing across it. Two of kingsgaurds stood near the throne. Joffery had an arrogant look on his face. Tywin had four portraits in his hands. Joffery caught his grandfather in his gaze.
"Grandfather, how is it that The Young Wolf and his Dragon Bitch Queen still have their heads," Joffery demanded.
Tywin approached the throne his cold hard look on his face remained unmoving. Joffery did not look pleased, to say the least.
"No one on our side has gotten close enough to them to do the job. From what I have heard they have constant guards surrounding them and force of most Westeros on their side who would gladly give their lives for theirs," Tywin explained.
"What about Uncle Jaime, Mother tells me that he is close to Dragon Queen and her Young Wolf Husband," Joffery asked.
"He is a traitor to the Crown. He married another traitor of the crown. He loyal only to the Dragon Queen who I am sure cast some spell on him," Tywin paused. He could accept Evalyne Tarly well now Evalyne Lannister if Jaime only came back to his family. Joffery temper was rising. His grip on the arms of throne tightened until his knuckles turned white. "Your Uncle Tyrion has also defected to the Dragon Queen and her Young Wolf husband. In fact, I have been informed that he now acts as their hand," Tywin finished.
"What!" Joffery exploded.
"I plan to take care of it. I leaving with most of Lannister soldiers to take off the head off of the Dragon Queen and her Husband in a day time," Tywin said.
"Make it sooner. I want their heads on spikes" Joffery demanded.
"It will be done Your Grace," Tywin answered.
"Good" Joffery dismissed him.
"Now for the matter at hand, you need a Queen. You have Yara Greyjoy but her father is in open rebellion. Who no doubt will soon be siding with Dragon Queen and her Young Wolf Husband because of the threat from her dragons," Tywin started.
"Those are just stories" Joffery dismissed.
"No, they aren't. My spies tell me of her destroying Stannis, and his red woman with her dragons. They are now the size of direwolves. Soon they will on par with Balerion the Black Dread," Tywin said.
"Why am I just now hearing of this? I am the King" Joffery yelled.
"Any person that has to say I am the King is no King. I keep this from you because I thought I could deal with it. Dragons have been killed before and it will be done again. Now the other maidens I purpose for your Queen are from Essos. Here are their portraits" Tywin stated put Joffery back in his place.
Tywin handed Joffery the portraits. He looked at each of them with bit distaste. Joffery looked at each of the portraits. His eyes landed on Sira of Lys. She was pretty but he had the same feeling about Sansa as he did Sira. He handed the portrait back Tywin. Next he moved on to Ilora from Myr the only thing that stood out on her face was her bright blue eyes. He moved the portrait back so he could stare at the next one. The next on was of Melirah Vhassar. Her looks intrigued him but he was not really attracted to her. He handed that portrait back to Tywin. The final portrait was olive skin dark brown hair maiden with striking green-blue eyes. She was name Orella she was from Braavos. Her father dealt with Iron Bank and very powerful man.
"I want to meet her and her," Joffery said handing the last two portraits back.
"Orella from Braavos and Ilora from Myr excellent choices," Tywin commented.
"I want one more; one from Westeros," Joffery demanded.
"It will be from a lesser house, Your Grace. But I have one, her family she completely loyal to our cause. Her brother was killed by your Uncle Jaime in fall of Twins. From what I am told she is quite a beauty." Tywin told him.
"What her name?" Joffery asked intrigued.
"Averill Crakehall" Tywin told him.
"Averill" Joffery muttered her name for a moment. He looked up to Tywin. "Send for her as well. I want her here as soon as possible. Once I met seen them in person I will make my decision and the royal wedding will proceed."
"Yes, Your Grace, " Tywin said.
Robb stood in the chamber he shared with Rae. Rae was lying on the bed as Maester Davith examined her. Maester Davith listen to her heartbeat as well as the heartbeat of the twins. He sighed sitting up. Rae pulls her shift back down. Robb came over to her helping her to sit up. Maester Davith looked over at them. Robb's arm was around her shoulders. They both had a worried look on their faces.
"She is perfectly healthy. The children heartbeats are strong as well. I still recommend that she takes it easy. But otherwise she is fine," Maester Davith told them.
"Are there three babies in her belly," Robb asked.
Rae looked up worried her hand went to Robb's hand. She gave it a squeeze. He looked down at her fo a moment. He leaned down kissing her forehead. His hands rubbed her arms in a soothing manner.
"What make you think there are three babies in your belly, Your Grace?" Maester Davith asked looking at Rae.
Her amethyst eyes met his eyes. He could see the fear in her eyes. She leaned heavily on Robb. He let her cuddle into him seeking his protective embrace.
"I had a dream. More of vision then a dream, I saw my dead brother. He was holding three babies and he told me that the dragon has three heads. The babies were the same age. One look like Robb the other looked me with complete Targaryen features," Rae confessed.
Maester Davith looked at the pair for a long moment. His hand went to his chin. He did want to tell her that there was no possibility of her dream coming true. But at the same time he could not. He had seen it a least a time or two. Only one heart beat heard from within the mother. Then when her time came two babies were born. He had seen her moment after she was burned alive and came out of that unharmed.
"I cannot tell you that it will not happen, Your Graces. As much I would like to. I have seen it happen a time or two. A woman had only one heart beat with her belly but when her time came two babies were born. I seen you reborn in fire so I do believe that you have vision of the future? Yes I can. Most other Maesters will tell you, you are worried for nothing but I will not do that. There is a small possibility of it happen. All we can do is keep your stress down, and keep you healthy. And when your time comes I am afraid it is in the Gods hands," Maester Davith explained.
Lexise and Keila came over after Rae got off the bed with the help of Robb. Maester Davith motion for Robb to he wanted to speak with him out of Rae earshot. Lexise and Keila led her over the dressing divider. She looked over her shoulder at Robb who stood near Maester Davith. Robb nodded his head to Rae to go it would be fine. Once Rae was behind the dressing divider Robb turned and looked at Maester Davith.
"I recommend that you install at least one midwife into her ladies. Her time will be soon. She carries multiples her time will come sooner than normal. And if she is right and there are three babies and not two babies her time will come even sooner." Maester Davith told Robb. Robb's eyes went wide as he processed that information. He looked over to where Rae was getting ready for the day. A look of fear crossed his feature as he thought about losing her. Maester Davith caught look of fear on his face. "I am not telling you this to scare Your Grace. But we need her alive and well. Her having a least one midwife in her ladies it will give us an assurance that no matter where we are at when her time comes she will have the proper care she needs," Maester Davith finished.
"Can this kill her?" Robb whispered.
Maester Davith took a deep breath. He looked at Robb. He could see the love Robb had for Raenera. Losing her would kill a part of him, Maester Davith was certain of that. Rae came out from behind the dressing divider in a lovely blue color gown. The pups ran over to her dancing around her legs. She smiled and giggled at their antics. Her eyes caught Robb's eyes as he stared at her.
"Yes, but I will do all in my power to make sure that doesn't happen. Enjoy the time you have with her now," Maester Davith answered truthfully he placed his hand on Robb's shoulder as he turned and left the room.
Lexise and Keila started too picked up the room. Rae walked over to where Robb stood like a statue. A look of fear was in his eyes. He shook his head as Rae held on to his hand.
"What did he say?" Rae asked.
"Nothing you need you to worry you beautiful head about," Robb answered.
"Robb," Rae said not believing him for a second.
"Rae let me handle it please," Robb begged.
Rae cuddled into Robb's chest. Robb held her close to him. He kissed the top of her head. She was truly his world. The moment he was alone he would set his mind on finding not only one but two of best midwives to with Rae constantly.
"I love you," Robb told her as his hand traveled where his babies rested.
"I love you," Rae replied.
They kicked Robb's hand. He smiled down at her belly. He could not help to be excited about the babies. He knelt down kissing her gown covered belly. Rae's hand went to his auburn curls tangling her fingers through it.
"I love you too, be it two or three of you. Remember Papa and your Mom loves you very much. I cannot wait to hold you. For now, though you need to stay in there. Let your mother take care of you so you grow strong," Robb told them.
Robb kissed her belly again. His blue eyes met Rae's amethyst eyes. They stared at each other for a long moment. Balerion lead the charge trying to climb Robb's arms. He had six pups trying to get into his arms. He laughed as they tried to climb on him. He was taken off guard when Greywind large paws hit his shoulder knocking him to floor. Greywind proceeded to lick and nuzzled him. The pups followed their father's suit licking and climbing on Robb. It caused Rae start to giggle. Robb could not help himself but to laugh as well. He sat up shaking his head pushing Greywind off him. Rae offered him her hand to help him up. He shook his head using the floor to pull himself up. He looked at the pups at his feet. They had way too much energy.
Tywin stood in his study. Kevan had just left moment ago with the raven for the Crakehalls. He had planned to leave at noon the next day. But he had moved it up tomorrow morning. It was the soonest the army could be ready to leave. He walked back to his maps. He would head toward Casterly Rock. He would need more troops if planed to defeat Robb's army. He hoped that they planned to fight him the good old fashion way and not use the three dragons. The sounds of Cersei demanding to see her father reached his ear. He looked up from the maps to the guard that stood at the door. He nodded his head to him to allow Cersei to enter. She look furious.
"What is this nonsense that Joffery is sprouting about you leaving King Landing?" Cersei demanded.
"It is not nonsense, I'll at day break," Tywin said looking a back at his maps.
"Why ever for"
"To win your son's war. To cut the head off the Dragon before she takes anymore from us."
Cersei walked over to the table where the maiden portraits sat. She eyed them in distaste. None of them were worthy of her precious boy. They were all foreign looking. They reminded her of the Martells in their coloring. To her eyes, they looked like whores, power hungry harlots. Each had a smug smile on their face.
"Who are they?" Cersei asked.
"Possible brides for Joffery" Tywin answered looking back to his maps.
"Father this one looks like a horse," Cersei said picking up the portrait of Sira from Lys.
"That is Sira from Lys. Her father is quite rich and she is lovely. And he has written of her charming personality," Tywin said looking over to Cersei.
"Lys father, they worship the love gods. And most serve in the temples for years before they reach a marriageable age. Where they learn their carnal desire trade, they are no better than whores. She is nothing more than a glorified harlot," Cersei roared.
"She is no whore but you are correct. It is a good thing that Joffery, His Grace, did not choose her," Tywin admitted.
"You present these whores to him before consulting me. I am his mother and Queen Regent," Cersei demanded.
"I am your father and the Hand of the King. The kingdoms need a queen. A queen that will produce heirs to know his line is secure. He has chosen Orella from Braavos and Ilora from Myr. They will be here soon and I expect you to welcome them with open arms. I have also sent for Melirah Vhassar from Volantis. Her father is one Triarchs of Volantis. He is only one of them that stood up to the other Dragon Queen, Daenerys. Averill Crakehall will also be here shortly," Tywin told Cersei.
"At least she is from Westeros. Can you imagine the people accepting a for a foreign queen?" Cersei asked.
"As long as Joffery has a queen and produces an heir. I care not if she is from beyond the wall, from Essos, or for the Seven Hells if she is a Flea Bottom whore. Queen Raenera is close to giving the people another rallying cry. She is giving her husband an heir. That will cement their union and their line. Soon, Jaime will be following in their footsteps, with his little wife" Tywin yelled back.
"What are you talking about" Cersei demanded.
"Yesterday, Jaime married Evalyne Tarly or rather now Evalyne Lannister. She is from my sources is a lady in waiting to Queen Raenera. She is pretty some may even call a beauty," Tywin said.
"That is impossible. Jaime would never betray me like that," Cersei muttered in denial.
"I am afraid it is quite true. I received the raven last night. And I received confirmation from our spies this morning," Tywin said.
"Who was the first raven from?" Cersei asked.
"The Queen herself, she wanted to inform me of my heir's, her sworn sword, marriage. And inform me that her and her husband hand is now my other son."
"Father you most stop this madness, Tyrion the little monster I believe would always betray us. But Jamie, never."
"Kevan will serve in my place. I will take care of this. I bring Jaime back into the fold, after all, he is under this Dragon Queen's spell."
Cersei nodded accepting her father's words. She could understand her father leaving now. She was dreading playing nice to Joffery's little want a be queens. One question still plagued her mind what about Jaime's wife now. What would happen to her? She was sure father would never accept her. She was nearly to the door when she stopped turning back to look at her father.
"What about this Evalyne?" Cersei asked.
"I will bring her back with Jaime. You will welcome her into the family like a proper good sister. She will be likely carrying Jaime's heir at that point. I will not kill her no matter how much I do not care for her father. As long as she does her job she will live," Tywin answered.
"Father you cannot be serious," Cersei yelled.
"Enough leave me I have much to prepare for. You will do as you are told," Tywin said putting Cersei back in her place.
Cersei left with a huff. If her father would not care of that little whore then she would. She wore a cold determined look on her face as she headed off to make her own planned.
