Frost // Tyrion Lannister // Sandor Clegane

I wish to confess

'I didn't poison Joffrey.' Tyrion insisted.

'I know. I believe you.' Alina told him. 'but Cersei is out for blood. Your blood. She... Tyrion she wants you dead for this.'

'I didn't do this!' Tyrion exclaimed. Alina put her hands on the cells door she felt it freezing beneath her fingers.

'Catalina.' Tywin said coming up behind her. 'I told them not to let you down here.' He informed her.

'really?' she asked innocently pulling her hands away from the bars. 'I just walked right by they didn't say a thing.'

'I also told you I don't want you down here.' Tywin said leading her away. she looked back apologetically at Tyrion.

The trial came quickly for someone needed to punished for joffreys death, alina hated to see Tyrion accused of such things but she couldn't do anything to stop it. Not publically at least. They were out for blood. Tyrions blood. tywin sat on the iron throne being judge, and executioner. He was going to kill his own son and Tywin had a smile on his face. Alina couldn't lose him. She had just gotten him back.

I saved you all, Tyrion thought. I saved this vile city and all your worthless lives. There were hundreds in the throne room, every one of them laughing but his father, or so it seemed. Even the red viper chortled and mace tyrell looked like to bust a gut but lord tywin Lannister sat between them as if made of stone, his fingers steeped beneath his chin.

'The crown may call its next witness." Alina recognized the woman, Shae came walking in through the doors. Shae had been sansa hand maiden, what was she doing here? Alina looked to Tyrion but he looked just as shocked. Walking down the corridor, Shae made her way to the witness box, chin held high. "State your name."

"Shae."

"Do you swear by all the gods that your testimony will be true and honest?"tywin questioned.

"I swear it." Shae agreed not looking to tyrion.

"Do you know this man?" tywin pointed at tyrion

"Yes. Tyrion Lannister."

"How do you know him?" tywin questioned.

"I was handmaiden to his wife's sister-Lady Sansa."

"This man stands accused of murdering King Joffrey. What do you know of this?"

"I know that he's guilty." Shae informed them all confidently. Alina felt her blood run cold, a whisp of flurries flooded the room, tywin slapped his hand down on his chair catching her attentnion, she took a deep breath, the room cleared up. Tyrion felt hurt and betrayed. When he had spent time with the woman, he had enjoyed it, like he always did with whores, but then his feelings for Alina kept him from ever feeling true love for anyone else. He used Shae as a distraction from Alina, since she was avoiding him like the plague for a while, but after a while, he understood that no one could replace his Frosty. No one could take her place and he could never love someone as he loved her.

"He and Sansa planned it together." Shae went on and Alina knew this was a false testimony, when they accused Sansa as well, sansa would never, she wanted to but she was smarter than that. "He stole poison from the Grand Maester's chamber to put in Joffrey's wine."

"How could you possibly know all this? Why would he reveal such plans to his wifes maid?" Alina was curious as well but the answer took her by surprise. "I wasn't just her maid. I was his whore."

"I beg your pardon? You said you were his..." Pycelle questioned.

"His whore."

"How did you come to be in his service?"

"He stole me. I was with another man, a knight in your lordship's army. But when Tyrion arrived at the camp, he sent one of his cutthroats into our tent. He broke the knight's arm and brought me to Lord Tyrion. 'You belong to me now,' he said. 'I want you to fuck me like it's my last night in this world.'" Shae told them and Alina felt a pang of embarrassment rush over her, all this time Tyrion was fucking this woman but calling her lovely. Then again, Alina was sleeping with sandor while he was here but she wasn't outright flirting with Tyrion as well! But Tyrion spoke up catching her attention.

"Father, I wish to confess. I wish to confess!' Tyrion declared.
