"Power." Stated Tywin." What is power?"
Without a second to think Jamie answered, "strength, physical strength. If you are strong enough, you can kill anyone who stands in your way."
Valarie snorted, Of course he would say that.
Tywin looked to her, "what do you think power is?"
She sat up straight, chin up.
"Power is power. Power is everything. Money is power, strength is power, knowledge is power, position is power, fear is power, words, action, respect, kindness, everything is power."
A corner of his mouth tugged up, he slightly lifted his eyebrows and questioned her, "Then, which is more mighty?"
"Wisdom, wisdom rules it all. Mighty is the hand which is wise enough to know when to pick a sword and when to pick a pen."
A big grin broke across Tywin's face as he came infront of her and held her shoulders, his eyes glistened with pride, a familiar look that she has seen in her father's eyes.
Valarie was in absolute shock but somehow she found it in herself to smile back.
He crossed his arms after a few seconds as he said, "You are power. You have the heart and mind to rule the seven kingdoms. You are born to be a queen."
Valarie scoffed, "As tempting as it sounds, I don't think I want a thousand knives against my neck."
"You are the only one who would turn down such an offer, Cersei would jump on it." Jamie commented.
"That's because she is not as clever as she thinks she is," Tywin addressed him and he turned to me, "you are too smart for your own good, has anyone told you that?"
"Well don't you think that very quality of mine will make me survive this sea of hungry sharks?"
"It will." The Lord of Casterly Rock nodded.
Once Tywin dismissed Jamie for his other lessons, he requested her one of the strangest things ever, Valarie had never been more honoured.
"I have a lot of correspondence related to the westerlands to look into, but the council has sent me some cases to take care of last night, it would be a great help if I have your assistance, unless you have anything else to do."
She didn't think for a second before she responded with a "Sure, of course."
Gods, she had no idea what she had gotten herself into, there was a pile of files infront of her, she had no idea when she'll be done with all of them, but dispite the amount of work she enjoyed doing this.
A few of them had been silly, like the one infront of her currently. She gave an annoyed sigh as she asked the Lord in her opposite, "This is horseshit! Seriously? Who in the seven hells would need the approval of the hand of the king to change the routine of the royal gaurds?"
