This story came to me when i was re-watching Game of thrones and i watched the Scene between Cersei and Robert when they were talking and she said that she felt something For Robert. Maybe if Robert let go of Lyanna they could actually have a normal marriage and this is what this story is about. It will be a Cersei/Robert story and a Jamie/OC story. It will not be a fast paced story. It will take some time for the pairings to establish. Please give the story a chance.
A moment in time
Chapter 1: Beginning of life
Cersei was sitting in her bedchamber at a vanity watching as her handmaiden Isla was brushing her hair.
"It is so romantic that two men are fighting over a girl that they loved. If only i could experience a love like that." the woman said dreamily and Cersei looked at her with annoyance. She rolled her eyes.
"This is not romantic, this is foolish. The whole country is at war because of the stupidity of men. How can you risk everything for one woman." Cersei said still bitter that she could not marry Rheagar and that he gave everything up for that Northern bitch Lyanna. If he the King married her to Rhaegar there would not be a need for a war. She would be able to satisfy his every need.
"Off course My Lady. Would you want me to help you dress?" The handmaiden asked and Cersei shook her head. The handmaiden left and Cersei got up and went t her balcony. She let her hair flow in the wind and closed her eyes. Since she was a little girl her father told her that she was going to be queen one day and that she will rule the seven Kingdom. She always believed that it was going to be her that was going to marry the young and handsome Prince and rue the Seven Kingdoms alongside f him. That she will bore him beautiful blond children and they love each other like her father and mother did once a long time ago. That dream was crushed when the Mad King announced that he was going to give Elia Martel to the Prince. Their wedding was a grand affair and Cersei remember how she felt when she watched the love of her life marrying someone else. She felt like she was slapped in the face multiple times yet she could do nothing about it.
Elia Martel that pitiful excuse for a woman could not even bore a child without almost dying. She was weak and the Price knew this and that is why the Young Price chose to abandon everything and run away with the Stark bitch. And now because of that the whole Bloody Kingdom is at war.
Cersei opened her eyes and looked upon the sea and how the waves crashed against the cliffs. How beautiful yet deadly they were. It was no secret that she wished that she was born a man. That she wished she could go out there in the world and fight. She did not want to be stuck in the castle and wait for the news of the outcome of the war.
Cersei sighed with a heave heart an went back in her room where she began to saw like a good Lady she was thought to be.
A month had passed when the news of the Prince's death shook the every Kingdom. Some where devastated others were happy. What brought most shock was the fact that the Baratheon brother had took the throne for himself and was now the King of the Seven Kingdoms. The tales of the Kings handsome face has spread like a wildfire. Every Lord wanted to give him his daughter to be his wife. Every girl wanted to be his. They fainted when they saw him, jumped in his bed freely. It was chaos and Cersei did not want any part if that. She was not going to get her hopes up. She will marry some Lord and that will be her life. Nothing more.
Cersei was at the balcony looking upon the waves when her aunt Genna came to join her staring at the waves as well.
"Child your father wants to see you in his solar." She said with a gentle smile on her face.
"Do you know what is the meaning of this meeting?" Cersei asked with a voice barely above a whisper.
"I do not, of you wan to find out go and see child." Genna said and Cersei nodded. She pitied her aunt Genna, she was stuck in a marriage with a pitiful excuse if a man yet she was handling it very well. Cersei shook her head, she will probably end u just like her. In a marriage where she was not happy.
She knocked on the door and she had heard her dad's gravely voice and she entered her father solar. He was seated behind his desk looking upon a stack of papers. His piercing green eyes looked upon her with nothing but emptiness.
"Sit child." he showed her the sit in front of him and Cersei complied and sat down with her hand on her legs.
"You wanted to see m father?" She said keeping her voice strong and her head up high. The one think her father hated was weakness and he thought both of his children not to be weak.
"Yes i did. As you know there is a new King and he is in need of a wife. After many attempt with the old fool that calls himself the Hand of the King he had agreed that yo would be the best choice for a wife than any other. You have your wish daughter and you will be Queen. You will marry the New King." Tywin Lannister said with a face that showed no emotions. On the other hand Cersei could not help her excitement. She will be Queen and she will marry the mos handsome man that ever walked the earth. He was hers and she was his.
"Really father, i will marry the King?" Cersei could not believe it. After so many disappointments the Gods had finally granted her wish and she will be Queen.
"Yes you will be Queen, now do not get so excited Cersei. You need to keep him happy and bore him an heir and many children after that. he liked to whore around child. Make sure he has no bastards." Cersei nodded and excused herself from her father's solar. She ran to her room where she saw that her aunt was still there.
"I will be the Queen, i will marry the King." Cersei said excitedly and Genna smiled at the young girl.
"Every girl in the Kingdom dreamed of him my child and you will have him. He could not ask for a better wife than you for you are a beauty i have not yet seen in this world." Genna said and caressed Cersei's cheek. Cersei could not contain the smile on her face. Her life long dream of being a Queen was finally coming true. She will be the greatest Queen that every was and she will be the most beautiful one.
It took them whole two moons to get Cersei ready. She needed to take all of her belongings. The wedding will take place a fortnight after she will arrive in Kings Landing. It was a beautiful city. The place and the people made Cersei want to be a part of it. She wanted to know the latest gossip, and she wanted to be involved in it.
As a Lannister she was used to people praising her and admiring her beauty. She was used to being treated like a wonder of this world and she loved it. She basked in attention. She loved that the women envied her not of just her beauty but her betrothed as well.
She was standing before her wheelhouse saying goodbye to her uncle and her aunt when her dwarf ten year old brother came to say goodbye to her and their father. His golden head was down not looking at them both.
"Well boy i leave you here alone. Your uncle Kevan is in charge. Mae sure you do not disgrace me and listen to him. I will be back soon i hope." Tywin said his eyes cold before he sat on his horse and ride away. Tyrion raised his head and looked at Cersei with a little smirk on his face and gave stared at her with cold eyes just like his father did before and walked away.
Cersei felt a surge of hate run through her but she shook her head and went inside her wheelhouse and was on her way. It took a total of 10 days to reach the Capitol City and Cersei took a dee breath and she looked at the place she will not call home. A place where she would rule.
Her handmaidens helped her out of the wheelhouse and smiled as she looked at the Red Keep with a smile. This place was grand and it was beautiful. It did smell but it reminded her where she was. She was in King Landing and she will rule alongside her husband the King Robert Baratheon. She made her way to the bedchambers to get ready for the feast tonight when an unexpected guest came to her.
It was her betrothed King Robert. He stood there in her bedchamber making the large room look rather small. He was a tall and muscular men with raven hair touching his shoulders and a black beard that was nicely trimmed. His cold blue eyes raked over her body yet not showing anything.
Cersei woke up from her trance and curtseyed to him before looking him straight in the eyes.
"King Robert, what do i owe the pleasure." She said trying to keep her voice steady and clam when inside of her, her heart began to beat so fast she was afraid it will burst.
"You a pretty little thing aren't you." She said his voice gruff and emotionless. Cersei looked down at her feet not knowing what to do.
"Well as you are going to be my wife i brought you these presents." Th King said and Cersei looked at him and watched as servants put chest of dresses and jewels on her floor. Cersei looked at him in wander her feeling growing for him even more.
"Thank you your Grace, i feel honoured." Cersei said with a beautiful smile on her youthful face. Robert nodded he still was unmoved.
"I will see you at the feast." The King turned on his heel and left her bedchamber leaving a happy Cersei unaware that if it was up to him he would still be balls deep in some whore if Jon Arryn had not made him go and say hello to his betrothed. Truth to be told Robert was fine with bedding whores and drinking to his heart content. Yet Jon his Hand made him marry a Lannister none less. Robert did not like them and now he will join a house with one of them. His bride might be a beauty but she was not Lyanna, she was not the woman that he loved and wanted to call his wife. She was not a wolf that needed to be tamed. She was a lion and he hated lions.
Cersei stood in front of the mirror trying to look the best she could for her her King when he saw Jamie her brother enter her room. He closed the lock as he looked at her with hunger and pain in his eyes.
"How could you do it? How can you agree to marry the King when i love you so much? Do you not care for me." It pained Cersei greatly to see her brother in so much pain and she felt the pain herself. As much as she loved Jamie and wished to spend her life with him she had to be realistic. This was never going to happen, they would never be together, their father would not allow it.
"Jamie brother it is for the best. Our love would not survive this. It just cannot be." Cersei pleaded with her brother who looked even more sad. He came over to her and took her face in his hands.
"It does not matter Cersei. You marry the King but you will belong to me. Cersei i years for you. I ache to feel you. Please let me have you." Jamie said kissing Cersei and touching her body making her feel weak in the knees. She gave out a soft moan as he began to massage her breast. It took all of her self control to stop him and move as far as possible away from him.
"No Jamie, i will give myself to my husband. It is right." Cersei said and Jamie could not believe what he was saying.
"Did you for get about all the promises we have made to each other? How we would spend our lives together? Does this mean nothing to you? I cannot bare to this on this vile man touching you and yet you want to give yourself freely to him. Why are you hurting me so?" Jamie said and Cersei looked at her. As much as she broke inside she needed to do this. She needed to let him go.
"I WILL wed the King and i WILL be Queen. There is nothing that you can do about this. Now i need to get ready brother." Cersei said turning away from him. He could not stand the look in his face. Her own heart breaking alongside his yet this was right. This was needed to be done. Cersei wiped the tear falling from her eyes. She will not cry. She is going to be Queen. She loved her King and she knows that her King will love her just as much.
Jamie was hurt, the love of his life broke his heart and it hurt so bad he wanted the pain to stop. When he entered his bedchamber to punched the all and screamed. He was so angry, and hurt and he wanted to hurt her as well. Jamie wanted Cersei to feel what she made him feel so he made his way to his fathers solar and knocked.
His father was sitting in front of his desk ad looking at him with cold green eyes.
"I want to leave the Kingsguard, i want to take my place as your son and heir, i want a wife." Jamie said with a cold voice that resembled Tywin's very much so. Tywin Lannister leaned back on his chair and looked upon his son with a ghost of a smile appearing in his face.
Well there it is, the first chapter? How did you guys find it? Shall i continue this? Please let me know?
