Golden Rose // Tywin Lannister

6. Anything at all

Bastard // Ned stark out now!!

'Hello Lord Hand.' Taylor said sweetly as she entered his office he put down his quill and leaned back in his chair. His hands folded in his lap as she took her sweet time examining the room as she made her way to him.

'Lady Taylor.' Tywin said gesturing to the chair across from him.

'You requested me?' She crossed a leg over the other leaning back her head tipped to the side.

'Yes... I do. I did.' Tywin was not a man easily flustered but Taylor... Taylor.

'My lord?' She purred leaning forward

'Your family,' tywin said clearing his throat 'came to aid in a time of need I just want to make sure you have everything you could possibly want or need.'

'Oh that's very kind of you my Lord. I'm perfectly content.' Taylor assured.

'Good. Good....' He looked her over again. 'Um...' he didnt know what else to say to make her stay but it was like she read his mind

'Actually...'

'Yes.' He said a bit too quickly 'yes?' he repeated slower as she stood up.

'This may be asking to much I'm sure you are a very busy man...' taylor began she drummed her hands on the back of the chair staring over at him

'Anything.' He assured

'A tour?' She asked. 'Of the palace.'

'I think I can make time.' Tywin said rising up from his seat.

'Right now?' Taylor asked happily

'I need to stretch me legs anyways and I would be very happy to show you around.' Tywin assured offering her his arm which she gladly took.

'Thank you.'

For the record, Taylor wanted to fuck him. And she thought long and hard about giving into that desire, those sensations. Consequences be damned. Somehow though, somehow she didn't. She thought for sure maybe he would make a move. Taylor thought maybe if she lead him to the water, he'd take a fucking drink. But no. She guessed we're both thirsty motherfuckers.

'For years I have heard that little finger is a magician.' Tyrion said looking over the books 'whenever the crown needs money he rubbed his hands together and poof there was gold.'

''Let me guess he is not a magician.' Bronn said

'No.' Tyrion agreed

'Is he stealing it?'

'Worse he is borrowing it.' Tyrion informed him

'And what's wrong with that?' Bronn questioned.

'We cannot afford to pay it back that is what's wrong with it.' Tyrion told him. 'Plus the crown owes millions to my father.' Tyrion added.

'Well it is his grandson's ass sitting on the throne so I suppose he will forgive the crown of his debts?' Bronn suggested picking up random objects around the room Tyrion watched him.

'Forgive the debt? My father?' Tyrion scoffed 'yet the world of money he is strangely naïve.'

'I've never borrowed money before I'm not clear on the rules.' Bronn told him them.

'Well,' Tyrion cleared his throat as Bronn examined another object around the room. Tyrion was getting annoyed at his nosiness. 'the basic principle is I lend you money and after an agreed-upon time you return it with interest.'

'And what if I don't?' Bronn questioned

'No you have to.' Tyrion said

'But what if I don't?' Bronn said sitting down across from him

'This is why I don't lend you money. anyway it is not my father that I'm worried about is the iron bank of brothers we owe them tens of millions. if we fail to repay these loans the bank will fund our enemies one way or another they always get their gold back.' Tyrion told him when they heard the footsteps of Podrick coming back. 'Ah the returning hero! does he have a little jump in his step?'

'The lad is practically skipping' Bronn agreed.

''You were gone a long time I assume you got your moneys worth or should I say my moneys worth.' Tyrion said smirking over at Bronn but Podrick put the sack of gold down on his desk

'No no it was a gift Podrick this is more than I give you in a year.' Tyrion reminded him.

'He is a squire you don't pay him.' Bronn reminded him

'Oh then it's much more than I give you a year.' Tyrion said embarrassed he really had no idea where any money was going.

''They would not take it my Lord.'

'Maybe she was trying to gain some favor with the new master coin?" Bronn suggested as Tyrion give him a puzzled look

'Have you ever known a whore to turn down Gold?' Tyrion questioned

'they didn't refuse me, my lord.' Podrick told him. 'they didn't want the money...'

'They are happy enough to take it when I gave it to them.' Tyrion remarked.

'What did you tell them?" Bronn questioned

'I didnt tell them anything.' Podrick said

'What did you do to them?' Tyrion questioned

'Lots of things.' he said slowly

'And they seem to like these things?' Tyrion questioned

'Very much my lord.'

''Of course they seem to like it they are paid to seem to like it.' Bronn said

'Only they were not paid.' Tyrion remarked.

'What are you saying that these ladies enjoyed him so much they gave him their time for free?' Bronn questioned.

'Is that what you're telling us?' Tyrion asked curiously 'Sit down Podrick.' Tyrion requested and Bronn gave him his seat. 'We are going to need details copious details.' Tyrion said pouring a drink. Podrick looked to Bronn nervously.

Taylor pressed a kiss to his cheek thanking Tywin for showing her around as he stood at her door she smiled back at him as she closed the door. He stood there a long while staring at the closed door. He only moved when he heard the footsteps of guards boots coming down the hall and dragged himself away. He was completely smitten with Taylor Tyrell.
