I own nothing
Thank you all for your support whether it was reviews or favorites or followers. I am sorry for the lack of updates. I had a bit of writer's block. I was working toward the birth of triplets once that pass I had to figure out the end game and where I wanted to go with it next. I hope you like this chapter.
Cersei sat in the small council room. The Westerlands had gone silent for near three weeks now. Kevan had sent many ravens out hoping to get some response. Even her spies had gone quiet. That did not bode well for them. Lord Varys was the last member of the council still not present. Ilora was still here wrapping Joffery in her spell and Lancel much to Cersei distaste. She took a drink of her wine looking at Kevan who was pouring over ledgers. He was not great at managing the crown like Tywin was. Not with the growing fear that Tywin had fallen. The Westerlands silence could only one thing in his mind. Tywin was dead and Jaime now controlled the Westerlands. And with Jaime loyalty to Queen Raenera and King Robb, it could mean that the Westerlands were now in Robb's and Raenera's control. Lord Varys entered the chamber.
"Ah Lord Varys thank you for joining us," Cersei said sarcastically.
"I was receiving a message from one of my little birds," Lord Varys said sitting down across from Cersei.
Kevan looked up. He placed the papers back down on the table. He looked to Lord Varys.
"Is there any news from your little birds about the Westerlands?" Kevan asked.
"I'm afraid; Lord Tywin has fallen in battle. The whole of the Westerlands has sworn fealty to Lord Jaime Lannister and Lady Evalyne Lannister. Who my little birds tell me is with child," Lord Varys started.
Kevan's face went white. Cersei was shaking with rage. How dare that little Harlot claim her mother's spot? She would make that little whore pay. With any luck, her assassin would take her life with that child with her. Cersei thought bitterly. She took a drink of wine. She was seething with rage.
"That is good for Lannister Family," Kevan said offhandedly talking about Evalyne pregnancy.
"They learned that fact after an attempt on her life," Varys said.
Cersei started to cough as that information reached her mind. He assassin had failed. She wished she had the Mountain. Yes, his methods were questionable but the job was done. With any luck, The Mountain would be returning to Cersei and not Jaime.
"The Mountain has fallen killed by The Hound in defense of Queen Raenera. Jaime has sworn the force of the Westerlands to the true rulers of Westeros; Queen Raenera and her husband King Robb Stark," Varys continued.
Kevan let out a deep sigh. He looked at the maps on the table. The only one that had not sworn to Queen Raenera and King Robb was the Vale. The ruling party there was family with Robb. So before long it was only a matter of time before they would also be against them.
"Is that all," Cersei asked.
"One last thing Queen Raenera has given birth to three healthy babies, two daughters, and one son," Lord Varys said.
Kevan looked up at Varys then to Cersei. In his mind, the only way this could work out in their favor would be to surrender. He had no desire to burn in dragon fire.
"None of my correspondence has been able to go through. Do you think you can get a message to King Robb and Queen Raenera," Kevan started.
"Uncle Kevan you cannot be thinking," Cersei started outraged.
Kevan gave her a look. She was losing her power. Joffery was King. She would be damned if she lost all of her power. "Until there comes another, younger and more beautiful to cast you down and take all that you hold dear,"echoed in Cersei's mind. She remembered Raena Stone, how Robert as she grew called her beautiful. Most men found the young Raena Stone beautiful with her dark nearly black curls and her haunting purple-blue eyes. Cersei never once thought that she was the queen in prophecy. But now all roads pointed to her. She had already taken her father from her and Jaime. Myrcella was in Dorne where she was to wed Trystane Martell who had sworn loyalty to Raenera. She would be damned if let this Dragon Queen take her only remaining children from her.
"Do you want to die in dragon fire?" Kevan snapped.
"No, but Joffery is king he was born a king," Cersei said in denial.
"What of Tommen, do you want him to die?" Kevan asked
"No, " Cersei said automatically.
"Then let me do this, Lord Varys send a word to King Robb and Queen Raenera that we will sue for peace," Kevan said.
"It will be done my lord hand," Lord Varys said.
Cersei stood up and stormed out the room. She would not let this happen. She would be damned before she let this Dragon Queen and her Yong Wolf of husband take what is hers by right. She had suffered through a marriage to the pig of man Robert. She was the Queen and no one was going to take that from her. If that mean getting rid of her Uncle Kevan so be it.
Rae stood in the nursery well rather what the servants had converted chamber int the nursery for the royal family. Today was the presentation of their children to public. There was select few who had seen them. Most of who had seen them had been family and maids. Robb had talked her into two nursemaids to help her since there were three of them. Eyme and Syvina were they names. They reminded her of her nursemaid back in King's Landing. She wondered what happened to her as she looked down at Lyanna. Lyanna contently nursed at her mother's breast. Lilliyan was in Eyme's arms. She was getting her changed for the presentation to the court. Vellella stayed on with Chyenne. Heiley had offered her services to Evalyne and Dyanne had become a healer to the royal family. Currently, she was healing Arya's head injury. Rae's hand gently touched Lyanna tiny hand. A small piece of soft gray yawn was around her wrist to identify her until Lyanna and Lilliyan develop personalities of their own. Robb was amazed how much his daughters look so much like the Targaryen Queen's of old. He said he could see her in them and wondered if their eyes would be blue or purple. Torrhen was in Vellella arms already dressed.
"Prince Torrhen is the prince that was promised," Vellella stated.
Rae turned with Lyanna in her arms. She gave her a look that looked less than pleased.
"Vellella, I'm not so sure of that. I'm sure he will do great things in time," Rae reasoned as she moved Lyanna to burp her.
"It is the Lord of Light will. You were rebirthed in the fire to birth him into the world. To bring about the change world needs," Vellella said.
Rae handed Lyanna to Syvina to get her changed. Evalyne came over helping Rae close her gown. Rae was dressed in Stark colors with red accents. She walked over picking up her lovely little boy. He looked so much like his father her Uncle Greatjon joked that Robb did all on his own. She cuddled him close to her. Her fingers were curling into his auburn little curls. She would not let any of her children be used for anyone purpose. She had grown up constantly watching her back she did not want for her children. Sansa came into the room taking Lyanna from Syvina. She had helped planned the event with Tyrion. She loved Lyanna, Lilliyan, and Torrhen. She would make a great mother when the time comes. Rae knew she wanted to marry Smalljon already but Robb wanted her to have the Royal wedding she always hoped for. That would mean taking place in King's Landing in Sept of Baelor. Lyanna cuddled into her aunt's arms. Evalyne came over with Lilliyan in her arms. Lyanna and Lilliyan were dressed in little gowns similar to the gown Rae wore. Torrhen was dressed in tiny version what Robb would be wearing today.
"They look so cute, " Sansa said kissing Lyanna head.
"Yes they do," Rae said.
"Should we head down?" Sansa asked.
Rae nodded her head. She looked one last time in the mirror. She looked good for just giving birth less than three weeks ago. Torrhen cooed in her ear. She smiled down at him before she held her head high exiting the nursery.
Sam stood with Maester Aemon tending to the ravens. A raven flew toward them it landed by Maester Aemon hand. It cawed at him. Sam came over taking the letters from the bird.
"Who is it from?" Maester Aemon asked.
"There are three of them. One from my sister Evie, then one is for you from Raenera and another is from Robb to Jon," Sam told him.
"Jon is beyond the wall when he returns we will give him the letter. What does my Grand-niece write?" Maester Aemon said
Sam opened the letter. He looked at Maester Aemon.
"Uncle Aemon, I'm writing to inform you of the birth of my children. I have given birth to three healthy babies. The Targaryen are not alone in the world anymore. You have a great-grandnephew and two great-grandnieces. Their names are Prince Torrhen Stark, Princess Lyanna Stark, and Princess Lilliyan Stark. Lilliyan and Lyanna take after the Targaryen side of the family. With their silvery blonde curls and as of right now they have baby blue eyes but I have little doubt they will have purple eyes. Torrhen takes after his father. I would love for you to meet them. And I meet you. Robb is from the North and wants to show me where he grew up. So I have little doubt that I will see The Wall in time. As soon as I am able to visit I will. Though it may be a while, it will most likely after we take Kings Landing. We have most of Westeros on our side. I will see you soon with any hope of Gods.
Love Always,
Raenera" Sam read.
Maester Aemon had a misty look in his eyes. The last time he read of the birth of Targaryen children was the births of Daenerys "Stormborn" and Raenera. Now the Targaryen family was growing it brought happiness to him that he did not feel in a long time. Sam quickly read Evalyne letter to him. His eyes went wide as he read. She was now married to Jaime Lannister of all people. He could not picture her as Lady of Westerlands. But if Jaime made her happy he was glad for her. She told him she was expecting her first child. He wondered if Gilly and little Sam would like Evalyne.
Raenera sat next to Robb. Torrhen rested in his mother's arms with Lilliyan. Robb held Lyanna. There were presents for Lilliyan, Lyanna and Torrhen on the table nearby. Robb looked over to Rae lovingly. She smiled over at him before kissing each of her sleeping children heads. Greywind and Starlight trotted up to the masters' feet lying down. Balerion came up to Rae tilting his little head at Torrhen in her arms. Athena did the same thing only looking at Lilliyan. Artemis tried to climb over Greywind to get to Robb's knee. He laughed at the puppies' curiosity. He looked over to Rae for a moment. This was the first time the pups had seen the babies. He leaned Lyanna down so Artemis could see her. She tilted her little head at the baby. Before, Artemis nuzzled the baby giving her a tiny lick. Lyanna moved her little arms in protest of being disturbed. Robb brought her closer to his chest. Artemis got down settling down at Robb's feet near Greywind. Rae nodded towards Sansa who stood nearby. She came over taking Lilliyan from her mother. Athena followed the small baby in Sansa's arms. Rae leaned Torrhen down so Balerion could see him. Balerion was instantly taken with the boy giving him a tiny lick. Torrhen moved closer to his mother chest in sleep. Balerion instantly lay at Rae's feet near his mother. Sansa looked over to Robb. He nodded his head to show Athena Lilliyan. Sansa did so with some hesitation. Athena looked at the tiny baby in Sansa's arms. She gave Lilliyan a tiny lick. Lilliyan woke enough to wave her little arms brushing against Athena fur. Sansa looked unsure and about ready to pull the baby away from the wolf. Sansa lifted Lilliyan away from Athena bring her back to her mother. Athena followed laying next Balerion.
"They definitely have Northern Blood running through them," Greatjon joked.
Robb smiled over to Rae. Rae raised her eyebrows. They had not discussed introducing Rhaenys, Visenya, and Selaera to the triplets. They were pretty sure that their children had just as much Dragon blood in them. Tyrion and Jaime stepped forward. Rae raised her eyebrow. They had done so much for them she was not expecting anything from them.
"Your Graces, House Lannister has a gift for our Prince and Princesses," Tyrion started.
"We thank you for your gifts but it is unnecessary. Lord Tyrion you serve as our Hand and Lord Jaime you done more for me than many guards," Rae said.
"All the more reason for us to do it" Tyrion joked. He and Jaime shared a look and smile. Jaime nodded toward Evalyne to present the necklaces to Rae and Robb. Evalyne stepped forward with a pillow with two silver direwolf necklace on the pillow. One had sparkling amethyst eyes the other had just as sparkling dark sapphire eyes. "Princess Lyanna and Princess Lilliyan we present you with direwolf necklaces one had a purple eye and the other sapphire. Since they are truly identical it is another way to tell them apart," Tyrion explained.
"Thank you, " Robb said.
"And Prince Torrhen when the time comes I offer my services to teach him ho to swing a sword. I would present him with a blade but we were sure that one of other lords would do so," Jaime said.
Rae looked down at Torrhen cuddling into her arms. Her eyes then went to Robb. She was not sure how he would take Jaime's offer.
"Thank you, Lord Jaime. I have no doubt my son will be well versed in swordplay when the time comes. Thank you all for your gifts," Robb called out.
Sudden the door bust open. The guards all closed in around the royal family. Robb's eyes caught the eyes of a woman that had similar eyes to Theon. It was Yara Greyjoy.
Quick Question how do you want Cersei and Joffery to die?
