Nowadays, A Lannister war camp somewhere in the Riverlands. Trumpets are heard sounding, and various men are preparing for something. Inside one of the tents, I'm sitting on the table wiping a tear after remembering this memory. Jaime who is wearing a full set of Lannister armor is reading a letter to his father. 

Lord Tywin Lannister, who is preparing to skin a dead stag. 

Jaime reads "- summoned to court to answer for the crimes of your bannerman Gregor Clegane, the Mountain.' Uh, 'arrive within the fortnight or be branded an enemy of the Crown."

I mock him "Congratulations Dear husband"

"Ohh you talking I thought your tongue cut weeks ago"

I glare at him "Check your dagger" I stand "I'm sorry Lord Tywin can I go to my tent now"

"Yes" He looks at me "You carrying a Lannister inside you, that means what side you choose"

I smile "I'm with my husband in anything, my lord"

Tywin nods and waves to the guards and I glance at Jaime and I walk with them to my new tent. We just arrived at sunset. I haven't talked with Jaime since he killed Jory and kidnapped me here.

Narrator POV

Jaime looks at his father "Poor Ned Stark. Brave man, terrible judgment."

"Attacking him was stupid" he begins skinning the stag "Lannisters don't act like fools" Tywin cuts open the belly of the stag and removes its intestines. Jaime looks as though he is about to protest "Are you gonna say something clever? Go on, say something clever."

"Catelyn Stark took my brother."

"Why is he still alive?"

Jaime confused "Tyrion?"

"Ned Stark."

"One of our men interfered, speared him through the leg before I could finish him."

"Why is he still alive? For your dear wife"

"It wouldn't have been clean."

Tywin condescending "Clean

Tywin condescending "Clean. You spend too much time worrying about what other people think of you."

"I could care less what anyone thinks of me."

"That's what you want people to think of you or your wife"

Jaime annoyed "It's the truth and nothing related to Lyanna"

"When you hear them whispering 'Kingslayer' behind your back, doesn't it bother you?"

Jaime looks resentful "Of course, it bothers me and _"

"The lion doesn't concern himself with the opinions of the sheep" Jaime looks away frustrated "I suppose I should be grateful that your vanity got in the way of your recklessness" Tywin thinks for a moment "I'm giving you half of our forces - 30,000 men. You will bring them to Catelyn Stark's girlhood home and remind her that Lannisters pay their debts"
