15. You said Yes?

'She is a child.'

'She is a foot taller than you.'

'A tall child.' Tyrion said

'What's the youngest you've ever had?'

'Not that young.'

''how much older?'

'Older.' tyrion said simply

'You're a Lord she's a lady.' Bronn reminded him 'and a beauty at that.' bronn remarked and Tyrion sighed.

'Shae is a whore. Are you going to marry her?' Bronn questioned 'How did marrying a whore turn out for the first time?'

'I never should have told you that.' Tyrion said slumping in his chair.

'You want Shae, keep her, wed one bed the other.' Bronn that 'all you have to do is get a son in the stark girl he will be Lord of Winterfell one day and you can rule the north in his name you will have two women and a whole kingdom of your own.' Bronn remarked.

'Two women who despise me and a whole kingdom to join them.' Tyrion corrected.

'You can waste time trying to get people to love you, you will end up the most popular dead man in town.' Bronn said pouring them both another drink 'you wanna fuck that stark girl you just don't want to admit it.'

'I do not pay you to put evil notions in my head.' Tyrion said. 'The ones in my head don't need the company.'

'No you pay me to kill the people that bother you.' Bronn told him 'evil notions come free.'

'My father is to marry Taylor Tyrell.' Tyrion told him.

'Oh shes a beauty.'

"Older as well.' Tyrion remarked.

'Younger than the queen to be.' Bronn reminded him.

'My father is to marry her. did you hear that part?' Tyrion questioned.

'I did, good for him.'

'good for him?" Tyrion asked through and exasperated breath. 'Good for him? He gets the elder more beautiful and I'm to marry a child!"

'Sucks for you.' Bronn agreed.

"Shut up!" Margaery declared. 'you said yes?'

"I said yes.' Taylor agreed and Olenna stared over at her. she supposed it was better that Taylor was excited about this because either way she had to marry Tywin. Best let her think it was her choice.

'He is-'

'Handsome.' Taylor finished.

'Lady of Casterly rock.' Margaery said raising a glass.

'Queen of the seven kingdoms.' Taylor countered.

'I'm happy you are happy.' Olenna said kissing Taylor's hand. 'you are happy right? This is not an act?'

"No grandmother I'm very happy. I like him.' Taylor assured and Olenna pursed her lips. 'I know I should have talked to you first but I was so excited and surely I knew you wouldn't say no.' Taylor said hopefully.

'Of course, of course.' Olenna told her letting out a long sigh. 'as long as he treats you right and you are happy.' Olenna assured.

'Tywin said we are to be married weeks end.' Taylor told her.

'we need to get a dress! Jewelry! So much to be done! Your hair, that's a mess, we need to start with that" Margaery exclaimed grabbing her sisters hand.

'My hair is fine.' Taylor said running a hand through her notoriously tangled hair.

'I will handle everything!" Margaery told her happily.

"Grandmother?'

'I will send my flock out to find something for you.' Olenna assured as the girls ran off.
