Chapter 5 : A new Life
Robert woke up with the sun shining in his eyes making him groan. He opened his eyes and he saw golden hair on the pillow next to him and groaned again into his pillow and wished for wine. It was three moons since his wedding. Three moon being married to the Lannister. Three moon coming to her bed and bedding this woman.
Although a beauty Cersei was not Lyanna. She was not a woman who would fight for what she wanted. She wan not as harsh and wild as the woman he loved. She was a dutiful and placid woman who did her duty as a wife and as a Queen. She spoke with the high Lords. She spoke with the lowborn and made sure they were taken care off. She was taking care of the people while he ruled. She was perfect and yet he still felt nothing towards her. Nothing at all.
Robert was angry. He was furious. The woman who he call his wife looked at him with love in her eyes and he wanted to struck her. She cannot love him. She cannot. How dare she? This angered him beyond his belief. This woman loved him and he did not love her. He will never love her and that made him angry. He had a beautiful wife and he cannot love her. He already given his love away. He had non left to gift. So he was angry that this woman's love will be wasted on him. Another person he disappointed.
Robert got up from the bed and dressed himself and went to find his foster father. His Hand. He was meant to see him before they went to the small council meeting. He was present at them now. He wanted to make Jon proud. He wanted for Jon to look at him like he looked at Ned. He stopped drinking so much wine and he lessened his time spent at the brothels. He needed to do his duties as a King. As much as he hated it. He hated being King. He despised the Iron Throne he despised taking it but alas what was done was done and he was King and he had duties. Duties to protect the Realm and produce and heir.
With one last look at the sleeping lion in her bed and a shake with left her bedchamber.
When Cersei hear the door being locked Cersei opened her green eyes and turned on her back and looked at the canopy above her and let her and sighed. It has been three moons since the marriage. Three moons since she became the Queen. Three moons since she heard the name Lyanna whispered in her ear as the King gave her pleasure.
The bedding ceremony started right. He looked at her with hunger in his eyes. He wanted her or that was what she though at the begging. When walked over to her with eyes clouded with lust he kissed her. He kissed her heard. He stank of wine but that did not matter to Cersei. Her husband was kissing her and when he yanked her shift of her ripping it apart she was shaking with anticipation and want. That night he gave her pleasure twice before he finally entered her gentle and even though at first she felt pain it turned to pleasure very quickly. She had her third release when her King came into her spilling his seed into her and calling that name. That wretched name. "Lyanna." into her ear like a whisper of love. That was when her heart shattered. Her dreams fell. She looked at him as he passed out and cried. Cried like she had not cried in years.
He still came to her bed. Every night he came and he finished her quickly with his fingers and spilled himself into her and left the chamber leaving her. For the first fortnight she cried her heart out every night. Then she stopped. She was a lion of Casterly Rock. She was a proud lion. She did not need to concern herself with the opinion of lesser animals. She will feast on them. She was the Queen. She was the most powerful woman in the Kingdom and she will not be locked in her room and cry because of a man. No man not even the king. A King she loved. Father once said love made you weak. Well she was done being weak. So she left her bedroom and began her life at court.
She met with all the hight Lord and Ladies. She made sure she got to know all of her influence and powerful members of the court. She was present when her husband when he listened to the grievence of his people taking notes making sure she knew everything. She went and spoken to the lowborns. They were the many in this City and it was her duty to protect and care for them so she made sure that they were taken care of as well. She will be remembered as a great Queen beside her great King.
Cersei took a deep breath and felt sick before she flew of the bed and retched in her chamber pot. She heard her chamber door flew opened and one of her handmaiden was taking her hair making sure she did not make a mess on them.
When she was done she took the cloth that another handmaiden gave her and sighed closing her eyes and breathing heavily.
"When was the last time that you bled Your Grace?" One of her handmaiden asked her and Cersei looked at her confused before her eyes flew opened as she did not have her moons since she was wed. Her hand touched her stomach and tears flew from her eyes. Happy tears this time. She is with child. She will have a babe soon. A little Prince for her King.
"My Queen let me get the Maester. He will know for sure." Cersei looked at her handmaidens. All three had a smiles on their faces. She smiled and nodded. One went to go get the old fool and the other two helped her get dressed.
When the Maester came he confirmed it. She was indeed with child. Next year she will present the court with a Prince. An heir to the throne. The beginning of the stag dynasty.
Cersei left her chambers and went to the Tower of the Hand where she knew Jon Arryn was. When she entered the chamber she saw that Jon Arryn was at his desk and his wife Lysa Tully now Arryn was sitting by the window and reading a book. Jon Arryn looked up surprised
"Your Grace why do I owe the pleasure of you visiting me?" Jon Arryn stood up and kissed her hand and Lysa courtesied to her. Her youthful face turned hallow in the space of three moons.
"I need to see the King. No one know where he is." Cersei said and Jon answered.
"The King went for a Hunt she should be back by the end of the week. What was the reason for you needing to speak to the King?" Jon Arryn asked
"I am with child Lord Arryn. I am caring the future of House Baratheon." Cersei said and the man in front of her gave her a big toothless smile ad clapped his hands once at the new.
"You gave us great news today Your Grace. Great news indeed. I will send a rider to find the King. He must know at once. If you excuse me Your Grace Lady wife." Jon Arryn left the chamber and Cersei was left with the girl that was supposed to marry her brother so long ago. If she did not interfere she would already be pregnant with her second child. She would have been the future Lady of Casterly Rock. Yet she looked weak and although very pretty she was not beautiful enough for her brother.
"You must be happy to give the King a child so soon into your marriage." Lysa Arryn said in a low and small voice. When Cersei looked at the woman she loomed skinny and weak. Her face was hallow and her eyes looked dead.
"I am happy Lady Arryn. You will also give your husband a child soon enough." Cersei said. She pitied the woman.
"I hope so too Your Grace. I already lost two babes. I cannot loose another. I want to give him an heir so he will stop bedding me." Lysa said and Cersei's eyes soften. Lysa was delicate. She was not strong like her. Lysa looked like a little dove. She needed protection and she needed a friend. She also needed some advice. She did not know how to act in court and if she did not toughen up she will be swallowed by them.
"Lysa you are the most powerful woman in the Kingdom below me. You have a powerful husband. I know he is not a handsome man but he is powerful. Relish in that power. Use that power for something good. Eat more Lysa. Take care of yourself and soon enough your children and mine will fill the Royal nursery." Cersei said and Lysa looked at Cersei with wonder. She nodded and Cersei left the chamber. She felt bad for Lysa. She had to marry a man that could well be her grandfather but we all must make the best of our situations. Lysa was married to an old man and Cersei was married to a man who loved another. Their children would rule together like their fathers did and she plans to have as many as she can.
That night she was dining alone in her solar when the King stormed into the chamber. He was sweaty and breathless but what shocked her the most was that he was smiling. She never saw him smile. Never in their three moons did the stoic man was anything but. Now he looked crazed with happiness. He told everyone to get out of the chamber and looked at Cersei and walked over to her and took her face in his large hands and kissed her.
"Thank you Cersei. Thank you for the child you are carrying." The King said breathless and Cersei looked at him with wonder and love in her eyes which filled with tears. He never was like this with her."Do we have a chance?" She though looking the his handsome face making sure she remembers every inch of it.
"No need to thank me Your Grace. I am doing my duty." She said equally breathless looking at the King. She loved him. She really did and as much as she tried to let it go she could not. It may be an idea of him that she loved but she loved him anyway. Cersei stood on her tiptoes and it was her who kissed the king now. It was slow and full of longing and desire. The King responded with such fervour that he moaned into the kiss.
Robert broke the kiss and looked at his wife and felt nothing but desire. Whereas before he was mainly doing his duty when bedding her. Never really caring about her pleasure. This time he was consumed with desire towards this woman. He never felt anything like it. Even with whores they were nothing but instruments in his pleasure. Not caring it they liked it or not. But now hearing Cersei moan into the kiss he wanted to hear more of it. So he kissed her again harder this time shoving his tongue in her mouth exploring it. He felt her stand in her tip toes again her hands in his hair gripping it hard bringing him closer like she was a starved woman.
Robert needed to feel her. All of her so he moved his hand on the back of her dress and ripped it making her break the kiss and yelp in surprise. She looked at him her green eyes dark with lust and giggled biting her bottom lip. Robert kissed her again gripping the lip for his own and ripped the gown from her body making it fall to the floor yet still his hand felt material and not her flesh.
"Seven Hells why do women wear so many layers." He muttered ripping that material throwing it behind him. Finally he could see his wife in all of his glory. He looked at her from head to toe his desire growing for her as the second passed. He picked her up and laid her on the bed her hair falling around her head like a golden halo and he all but ripped his clothes off before joining his wife on the bed kissing her and feeling her whole against him. It was like he had never felt her before or rather acknowledge anything about their coupling. Now he touched and kissed and explored. Her moaned driving him mad with lust.
Cersei felt like she was on fire. She never felt desire as such she felt today. Her husband was kissing her neck now. Biting ad nipping his large hand on her right breast kneading and feeling. Cersei closed her eyes and moaned. She felt she was going to go crazy when his mouth took one of her nipples in her mouth and she gripped his hair tighter screaming in pleasure. His mouth went further and further down until he reached where she wanted him he most. She though he will use his finger but how wrong was she when he licked her cunt. Her eyes shut opened in surprise. she never felt anything like it. She felt like she was about to explode in the most beautiful way possible. Her husband licked and kissed her cunt but when he added his finger she saw a blinding white light and she exploded with a loud scream.
Robert looked up at his wife who was screaming with abandon and felt something stir deep inside of him but he did not know what it was. He felt like something was lifted from deep inside of him. When his wife calmed down she looked at him with fire in her eyes and Robert was shocked to the core. He saw that look before. He saw fire like this although those eyes were grey not green. Too shocked Robert did not feel his wife when she pushed him down and straddled him. He felt her dripping cunt close to his member and he moaned. He was already crazy with lust and now his wife guided his member inside her and he saw stars. Cersei rode Robert with abandon and Robert kissed and touched her teats until he sat up and kissed her lips claiming each moan as his own until this time they both reached their climax together.
Both fell back on the bed. Both had a satisfied look on their faces. They did not talk and it was Cersei who fell asleep within minutes with a smile on his face. Robert could not sleep. He was troubled. He was confused.
It was nearly a year since he won the war. A year since he lost the woman he loved more than anything. A year since he sat on that damned iron chair and cursed his life. Robert felt as he never know happiness or love again. That all died with Lyanna but today when he found out that he was going to be a father something shifted. He felt happiness. Happiness like he never felt before. What scared him the most was that his morning when he found out about the child that his wife was carrying was the happiest he ever was.
He wanted to become a father. He loved his daughter that he had when he was in the vale. Maya. A beauty little thing she was. Yet he could not love her. Not publicly. He was a King and he had a wife but she was taken care of. Of that he made sure. She will never need for anything. But now he can love this child. He already does. He wanted to make the child proud. Wanted to be a better king for his child. He wanted to create a peaceful realm so no one else could die anymore in pointless wars. Robert still had nightmares of seeing those two Targaryen babes in the red cloak. That was something he will never forgive himself for. That will always burden him.
Robert looked at the woman sleeping next to him. It was her father who order to kill them. Her father who order the man to butcher the children and woman and that was why he did not want to wed her. He did not want to be a part of that family yet it was that family that won the throne for him. That family that funded everything. At first Robert blamed Cersei for her father action. Now he did not. She was not the one ordering anything. She was not part of the war. Robert looked at her again and she smiled in her sleep and Robert hearth started to beat faster and he closed his eyes.
Robert realised something that night. He realised that thinking about Lyanna did not hurt as much. It did not feel as if the pain of loosing her would cripple him as it had before. He felt lighter and that scared him. He did not understand what was happening. He loved Lyanna so why was he starting to feel better. He started to hope for the future. He looked at Cersei and stood up from the bed. He needed to leave. He could not be here in this room. He felt like he was betraying Lyanna. Like this child in his wife's belly was taking her place in his heart. So Robert stood up and ran out of the room. He could not be here.
Well poor Robert in confused and happy at the same time. Poor him though he will never let go of Lyanna but it beginning to happen. Hope so heh. It was a fun little chapter for me I planted some seeds here and there and we shall see how will they blossom.
