Snow // Willas Tyrell // Oberyn Martell

68. False testimony

Neverland // Jon Snow out now!

'You have always hated Tyrion.'

'He killed the king.' Tywin told Jamie

'So did i.' Jaime remarked 'do you have a last order the mad king gave me? It was to bring me your head I saved your life so you can murder my brother?'

'There will be justice.' Tywin declared.

'Justice?' Jamie asked incredulously

'I'm performing my sworn duty as hand of the King if Tyrion is found guilty he will be addressed accordingly.' Tywin assured them.

'No.' Jaime said meekly. 'he will be executed.'

'he will be addressed accordingly.' Tywin informed his son.

'Once you said that family is all that lives on, it is all that lives on. You have always hated Tyrion.' Jaime told him. 'you told me about a dynasty that would last 1000 years what happens to your dynasty when Tyrion dies? I am a kings guard for bidden by oath.'

'I am aware of your oath.' Tywin spat

'What happens to your name? Who carries the line carries the Lannister name into future battles? Your nephews?' Jaime reminded him.

'What happens to my dynasty if I spare my grandsons killer?' tywin countered.

'Your dynasty survives through me.' Jamie said, tywin looked up from his papers finally seeing his son.

'What do you mean?'

'I will leave the kings guard and take my place is your son and heir if you let Tyrion live.' Jaime told him and how could Tywin say no to that. This was a guarantee.

'Done.' Tywin agreed 'when the testimony is concluded in the guilty verdict is rendered Tyrion will be given the chance to speak, he will plead for mercy I will allow him to join the nights watch and in three days time he will depart from Castle Black and live out his days at the wall.' Tywin told him. 'you will remove your white cloaks immediately you will leave Kings Landing to assume your rightful place a castlery rock you will marry a suitable woman and father children named Lannister and you will never turn your back on your family again.' Tywin told him

'you have my word.' Jaime told him

'then you have mine.' Tywin agreed. Jaime started to head but his conscious got the better of him.

"What of sansa stark?"

'What of her?'

'She didn't kill Joffrey.' Jaime reminded him.

"Go away Jaime, you get one life.' Tywin informed him. 'Which will it be?"

'It's not going well.' Josie admitted.

'I'm going to die!' Sansa shouted.

'I wont let that happen.' Josie told her.

'how!'

'I don't know yet, but I wont, I promise I wont let you die for this.' Josie assured she was leaving the cell when she saw tryion. He stood up as he appeared.

'Hello,' he said softly.

'You didn't kill Joffrey.' Josie said and Tyrion nodded. 'Sansa didn't kill Joffrey... so who did?'

"I don't know.'

"I don't want my sister to die for someone elses crimes.' Josie told him.

'It doesn't seem good does it?'

"Tyrion...' Josie stepped closer lowering her voice so sansa couldn't hear. 'Do you think if I confessed-'

'You killed-'

'No.' Josie spat. 'Honestly Tyrion,' Josie dropped to her knees outside his cell.

'Right sorry,' Tyrion apologized.

'Do you think a false confession would set sansa free?' Josie questioned.

"I don't think so.' Tyrion told her. 'if anything they would have all three of our heads.'

'I could say I didn't go south but North and I conspired with Robb... I could spin something.' Josie offered.

'They would think sansa helped.' Tyrion told her. 'don't give a false testimony.' Tyrion begged.

'I need to do something.' Josie told him.

'Not this.' Tyrion begged. 'Don't do this. Please.'
