I own nothing
Author note: I know this chapter is short than the last one. I hope you all still enjoy it. I do need name ideas for dragons.
Robb stormed into the Red Keep. Bodies were being dragged out of rooms. They left blood trail behind them. They had the Greyjoy sigil. He noted maids running with soapy water. The atmosphere of the place had changed. He had blood splatter over his clothes and face. Greywind muzzle was also coated in blood. Ned followed behind him again he wore a battle harden look. Blood was on his clothes as well. Edmure followed in behind him he also had blood on him but he looked very different than Robb and Ned. They were attacked by a garrison of Greyjoy soldiers. It was now clear as day that Euron was not to be trusted. Tyrion stood in front of the Iron Throne with Lord Varys at his left. They met eyes with Robb. Lord Varys bowed as he muttered your grace.
"Your Grace," Tyrion addressed.
"Lord Tyrion what happened here," Robb demanded.
"I'm afraid there was an attempt on Queen Raenera's life and the lives of Prince Torrhen, Princess Lilliyan, and Princess Lyanna," Tyrion started. This went far than Robb thought it did. He had a worried look on his face. Ned came over to him placed a comforting hand on Robb's shoulder. Edmure moved near Robb too placing his hand on Robb's other shoulder; although, Edmure was more concerned for Margaery and his son Garth health and well being. "They are alive and well. Ser Barristan still guards them. He appointed my brother Lord Jaime to guard Queen Raenera," Tyrion said.
"Thank the Gods," Edmure and Ned said.
"Where is Ser Storm," Robb asked.
"Dead, along with Euron Greyjoy," Lord Varys answered.
"The guards were able to capture about ten Greyjoy soldiers they rest in the black cells," Tyrion told them.
Robb stood stone face. He was trying to come to terms with what was told to him. Ned stood like him absorbing the information. Edmure left the room in search of Margaery. Lord Varys and Tyrion followed his movement. They both had worried looks on their faces. Robb caught that look. Once Edmure was out of the room they looked back to Robb.
"What is it" Robb growled.
"I'm afraid your grace, that Lady Margaery is arrested," Tyrion told him.
"On what charges," Ned demanded.
"On charges of High Treason," Tyrion answered.
Ned and Robb exchanged looks. They both knew the ramifications of that move would cause. Lord Varys moved forward he put his hands through his long bell sleeves.
"She was found to be conspiring to take the place of Raenera as queen. She was working with Euron. My birds told me that she was planning to poison Edmure and maybe even Garth with tears of Lys," Lord Varys started. Ned looked down closing his eyes. It was the same poison that was used to kill Jon Arryn. If that was true Margaery would still face trial. Let alone if she was conspiring with Euron. Yet to be anything said that would prove that she knew what Euron was planning. "Letters between Lady Margaery and King Euron detailing their plans for their join futures have been found. Not to mention she was in a romantic relationship with Euron also found in the letters. Besides, we have the words from her lady maids, Jasmyn Costayne, Maryska Hewett, Halyen Shawney, and Meya Nutt." Lord Varys finished.
"All of that evidence gave our queen no choice," Tyrion said gravely.
"Your uncle will demand her release," Ned told Robb.
"He can demand her release all he likes. She has conspired to kill my wife, my children and me. Not to mention our unborn baby that now rest in Rae. Not to mention that she was going to kill her husband and her child. It is all to have the power that she has no right to. I don't give a damn what he demands. She will stand trial. And if found guilty will die for her crimes. He is not the king he has no right to demand anything from me. Rae has as good as saved his life," Robb roared.
He did not care who heard him. Jasmyn Costayne was walking back into the room with now bathed Starlight. Her dark hair was pulled back in a simple half updo. Her brown eyes locked on Lord Varys eyes. He gave her a slight nod. She moved out of the chamber. Starlight trotted over to Robb butting her head against his leg. He turned looking at his father. Ned nodded his head. Robb left the room heading towards the chambers he shared with Rae.
Rae closed her eyes relaxed back into the hot water, that most would say it would be too hot. Her mind was trying to figure out what those words met. The one thought entered her mind. It was not a good thing. Three would raise, Daeny and Rae had risen in flames and there was one more to rise. Would that be Jon? She wondered as she slowly trickled water over her face. Did that mean that Jon was going to be burnt alive like them? Her eyes landed on the two fire dragon eggs that lay by the flames. Daeny and her both were given three dragon eggs that came to life when they were burnt. She now had the start of another three. Did that mean that those eggs would also hatch? One would fall. Tears started to well up and fall down her face as she thought about that could mean. Did that mean Daeny, Jon or her would die? Or was it that one of the dragons would fall? Her mind was leaning towards the latter. Tears coursed down her face as she thought about losing Daeny or Jon. But at the same time thought of her children growing up without mother came to her mind. She did not want her children to go through what she herself had gone through. Her hand trailed under the water placing her hand on where their fourth child now rested.
She was lost in her thoughts when the door burst open. She turned her hand moving to cover herself as she looked at who entered the room. Robb came over to the tub. He slammed the door shut. His mouth locked on his wife's mouth in a passionate kiss. He quickly shed his own clothes. She moved enough to allow him to get into the water behind her. She leaned back into his chest. They both basked in each other presents. She snuggled into his chest neither of them said a word as they soaked in the water. Their joined hands were over the mound on her belly where their child rested.
"What are we going to do" Rae muttered still lost from the vision.
"I don't know sweetheart. But we will figure it out," Robb reassured.
"The Tyrells are our enemies now," Rae said turning overlooking Robb in the eyes.
"Not all of them," Robb said think of Willas who was still in marriage bed with his sister.
"But how far up does this go," Rae questioned.
"I don't know," Robb said running his hand down her hair.
Lady Olenna sat in her chambers. She was deep thought. She was thinking about the day they had. The events of the day changed everything. She had heard commotion in hallways of the Red Keep early but thought nothing of it. Their position in the game of throne was very close to being lost. They were on shaking ground. She now wondered what had made Margaery go down that road. There was no question of Margaery guilt in Lady Olenna mind. Because for Rae to act like she did there had to have proof. Loras came running into the room.
"There was an attack on the royal family lives," Loras announced.
"Seven Gods, Margaery please tell me you did not know about this," Lady Olenna muttered.
Lady Olenna looked at Loras with a look that said it all. Loras looked at his grandmother in shock. Did something happen to Margaery? The look on his grandmother's face said it something did happen to Margaery. The look also told him that in her mind Margaery knew about the attack before it was going to happen.
"How would Margaery know about the attack…?" Loras started to question.
Mace stormed into the room. He was raging like a bull. He slammed the arrest warrant down in front of his mother. Lady Olenna did not look shocked she had seen it already before today. She knew why he raged.
"What in the Seven Hells, where they think arresting her?" Mace raged.
"Of what crime," Loras asked shocked.
"High Treason. Now, because of her actions, it has put us in a weakened position. If she is found guilty besides losing her life, the marriage between Garth and Lilliyan will be declared null and void. You have to know the crown has proof of this treason. For once, use your head," Lady Olenna said.
"The Queen made the arrest we could appeal to the King," Mace suggested.
Lady Olenna shook her head and looked down. Mace was thinking about losing his daughter. He was not thinking about what this could cost them in the long run. She knew that Edmure was under her granddaughter spell he could appeal it. But would Robb listen to that request? A knock on the door sounded. All eyes turned and looked at who stood at the door. It was Jasmyn Costayne. They all recognized her as one of Margaery's lady in waiting. Her family was loyal to the Tyrell family.
"Yes child," Lady Olenna asked.
"I thought you would like to know," Lady Jasmyn Costayne started.
"Know what?" Mace demanded cutting her off.
"That the queen is with child again," Lady Jasmyn told them then she left the room with a bow.
Lady Olenna let out a loud sigh. She started to rub the bridge of her nose. Mace started to pace. Loras looked lost. Lady Olenna's eyes met her son's eyes.
"There goes your appeal out the window," Lady Olenna muttered.
"Mother you cannot be thinking of abandoning Margaery," Mace said.
"The question I ask is what are we willing to lose in all of this?" Lady Olenna asked.
"Grandmother surely you are not thinking about leaving Margaery to her own fate," Loras asked.
"Of course not, but we also must think in the long term," Lady Olenna said.
"Do you really think they will give her a fair trial? It would be better if she demands a trial by combat," Mace raged.
"I will stand for her," Loras added not thinking.
"And you will lose your life like Margaery would also lose her life. It would cost both of you. Do you really think you could beat the King, kill him if necessary to win," Lady Olenna started? She moved to stand in front of Loras. Loras went pale as a ghost as he thought of killing Robb. "Besides Robb, there are many champions they could call. Let see there is Ned Stark, Lord Jaime Lannister, Ser Barristan Selmy or even better Ser Markas Dayne. You know rumor has it he is as great as swordsmen as his relative. Let not even think about what the Martell will do. Prince Oberyn Martell at the urging of his brother Prince Doran would volunteer to be the crown champion in heartbeat. He is known for his use of poisons," Lady Olenna finished.
Loras got paler with each passing person mentioned. He knew he would likely lose against most of them. Seven Hells if it was Prince Oberyn if he got one cut on him in the battle regardless if he won he would also die. For once his grandmother reasoning echoed in his mind. He now knew she was hurting. She was now trying to not lose her complete family. Mace was in pain at the thought of losing his only daughter but he was thinking of what it could cost them.
"Enough! Mother, what do you suggest we do," Mace asked.
"Nothing," Lady Olenna answered.
"Mother," Mace yelled storming out of the room.
"We do nothing until the judges are picked," Lady Olenna explained more.
"Well it is a give Ned stark will be one," Loras said.
"And likely one of the Martells, the question is then who would be the third. They are smart enough not to pick Willas, Edmure or themselves or one of us. They could easily enough stack the judgment against us. But I think Queen Raenera is not going to do that but we also must prepare for that," Lady Olenna said.
Willas and Sansa both only dress in robes sat in their chamber talking. They were getting to better know one another. They were both so happy. Willas fed her a piece of fruit. She took a bite of juicy fruit. She smiled lovingly at him.
"It is pity you have not got a chance to meet Garlan and his wife Leonette. They are both lovely people. He is my closest brother. I would have had him as my best man at the wedding but he was busy and detain in the Reach. He is helping my mother. I have assigned you a lady maid from the reach. If that is okay with you," Willas told Sansa.
"I'm sure I will like her Willas," Sansa told him.
"Her name is Avyana Fossoway. She is the younger sister of Leonette," Willas told her.
"Do you think I will like Highgarden," Sansa asked nervously.
"You will love it. The gardens are breathtaking. But not nearly as breathtaking as you are," Willas flirted
He leaned over kissing softly. She returned the kiss. This was like her fairytale marriage come to life. A knock sounded at the door. Willas pulled away from her. They still had at least a day where they were not to be disturbed. Willas grabbed his cane. He limped over to the chamber door. Sansa also looked worried. He sent her a reassuring smile. Before, he opened the door.
A young woman with dainty features and honey color bright eyes stood in front of the door. Her hair was soft dark blonde or some would call it light brown hair it was the in-between shade. Her hair was pulled back away from her face. Willas knew who she was instantly. It was Avyana Fossoway.
"My lord," Avyana addressed.
"Lady Avyana what can I do for you," Willas asked.
"I come because I feel you have the right to know. Your sister, Lady Margaery Tully has been arrested," Avyana told him.
"What has she done now," Willas said with a sigh.
Sansa came over placing her hand on his back. It was her way of showing him that he had her support in this. Willas, with his arm that was not supporting his weight with his cane, wrapped his arm around Sansa bringing her to his chest.
"I don't know all the details, my lord, but I know she arrest for High Treason," Avyana told him.
"Thank you Avyana," Willas said.
Avyana left. Willas turned shutting the door. He limped over to the bed. Sansa was by his side. He shook his head. For once he wondered why his family could not act the power hungry people that most of where.
"I'm sure she did not do this Willas," Sansa tried to reassure him.
"Believe me, Sansa, yes she did. Since she was a small child she wanted to be queen. And Father and grandmother have done nothing to stop that. In fact, they pushed her to marry Renly. But if there was a way for her to supplant Raenera and be queen she would in heartbeat," Willas told Sansa.
Tyrion sat in the small council chamber with Ned, Robb, Daeny, Jaime, Lord Varys, and Rae. They all were still coming to terms with what happened the night before. Yara was now in control of Iron Isles. Edmure had not demanded his wife release yet but they all knew it was a matter of time.
"We need to decide on Judges," Robb said.
"I will be one of them being Master of Law it expected of me," Ned said.
"Agreed," Tyrion said.
"Do we want to stack it against her," Jaime asked remembering Cersei court.
"No. I know a fair trial is something unheard of before. But now it would be something that is needed. Cause if we don't it could cause a rift so great that it could leave the kingdoms in shreds," Rae said.
"The Martells would make a good choice," Ned said.
"Prince Doran is still here. He is very knowledgeable," Lord Varys offered.
"I'll ask him," Rae said.
"That just leaves the third. By all accounts it should be one of you," Tyrion said looking at Robb and Rae.
Rae let out a sigh. She squeezed Robb hand. He leaned over kissing her. He rested his forehead against her forehead. He knew what she was thinking. He knew with her being with child she did not need the stress added to it. It could also be seen as unfair if they sat on the judges.
"We will not be accused of forcing her to lose. I would suggest either your self my lord hand or my sister Daeny," Rae said.
Tyrion and Daeny looked at each other. Daeny had the regal nature of a queen. It would not something the Tyrell would not expect. That could work in their favor. It also would make so a member of Royal family was on the judges.
"Princess Daenerys would you be willing," Tyrion asked.
"I will. I will help serve justice with fire and blood," Daeny said.
"Then we have our judges," Robb said.
"There is one more thing. If I know Margaery I know a claim she will make. I need to tell you all something. So it does not come as shock in the trial," Rae said. She met Ned's eyes. He shook his head he knew what she was going to say. This would change Jon life forever. "I told Euron that I had a nephew. I named him Aegon. It was a way to trap him. It's something that was not public knowledge. But the truth is, Daeny and I do have a nephew. Aegon is dead. But Rhaegar had another son, with Lyanna Stark. They were married. At least that is what Maester Davith has written. I am not sure if his marriage to Elia was annulled or not. His name was Jaehaerys. But…" Rae trailed off.
"He was not known as that. He is known as Jon. I claimed him as my bastard to keep him safe from Robert," Ned finished.
"He took his vows at the Nights Watch," Tyrion said.
"He did not know the truth," Robb said.
So many questions hung in the air. They all looked at each other. This could cause another civil war. If Robb and Rae did not step down if took the crown. They all knew that they had to head to the Wall. After this trial and sentence was carried out.
Jon sat in his chamber cleaning Longclaw. Ghost lay by the fire. He did know what was happening in King's Landing or how his life was going to change in a very shortly.
