Fire and Blood

Chapter 29

Jamie was in pieces the whole rest of the journey home. I did as much as I could to comfort him.
"Jamie, we're almost here." I say and he sits up.
"Cersei will be broken when she finds out, she was her only daughter." He says, i tip my chin up.
"It wasn't your fault, it was their fault." I say and he stands up.
"Come on, we are arriving in 10 minutes." I say and he goes to the front of the ship, Marcella's casket behind him. The queen runs to the docks, her face falls when she sees the casket and the depressed look on Jamie's face.
"What happened." Cersei says as he gets off the ship.
"Poison." He says, me and Bronn exit the ship last, the toddlers running behind me.
"You." Cersei says coming up to me.
"Did you do this?" She yells cornering me to a wall.
"No your grace." I say as Robb runs over
"Mummy!" He yells kicking Cersei. Jamie scoops him up in his arms
"Looks like your little bastards live." She says looking at Robb.
"Not for long". She says before walking off, Jamie drops Robb and follows her.

I walk around the castle, I haven't been here in two years.
"My lady." A voice says from behind me, I turn around and see King Tommen.
"Your grace." I say bowing
"Your children are gorgeous." He says coming down on their level.
"Hello!" He says to them, they look at him with wonder in their eyes. Robb reached up and grabs the crown.
"Robb! You mustn't touch!" I say running over, and giving Tommen back the crown.
"It's quite alright, when I die, the crown shall be his, unless me and Margery bear any children." He says picking Robb up, he likes the attention.
"Where is Lady Margery?" I ask picking Alicent up, she was getting frustrated as she didn't get any attention from the king.
"I'm afraid she is busy. She has devoted her life to her religion, she spends all day in the chapel." He says, clearly lying.
"Your grace, it is not honourable to lie." I say and he looks at me.
"How did you know?" He says dropping Robb.
"I just do." I say smiling.
"She has been taken prisoner, as has her brother, my mother was also prisoner but she was broken free. I have been trying my hardest to free my wife, I have had no luck." He says dejectedly.
"Your grace, you are the king, use your power." I say and the doors burst open.
"Your grace, Prince Trystane, he has been murdered." A guard says.

He was murdered in cold blood, he had a weapon but it wasn't even used. Marcella's funeral was today, I could bear miss it. The morning of- Jamie enters my chambers.
"Are you ready?" He says and I nod.
"Are you?" I say and he nods back.
"They aren't letting Cersei go." He says, i walk to up him.
"It's her child's funeral, surely that grants her a pass out of the Red Keep?" I say fixing his outfit.
"Let's go." He says picking up Alicent and Robb in his hands. They giggle.

"She grew up." Tommen says as he stares at her in her resting place, she looked beautiful, even in death.
"Almost." Jamie replies, being strong for the sake of Tommen.
"Have we caught Prince Trystane's killers? I expect it was Mother." Tommen says, Jamie looks at him sternly.
"Your mother wouldn't do that." He says handing Robb to me.
"Yes, she would." Tommen says, looking forward.
"Are you angry with her?" I ask, moving both twins so they fit comfortably.
"Of course not." Tommen replies.
"Then why didn't you let her come? She has every right to be here." I ask as Alicent Squirms.
"They told me she wouldn't be allowed in the sept. If she had tried—" Tommen stutters. The poor boy.
"They're not putting your mother in a cell ever again. Not while I'm here. Why haven't you gone to see her? Everything she endured, she did it for you." Jamie says looking at Tommen, wondering how he is talking like this.
"Don't you think I know that? I'm sorry. But I can't." Tommen says sternly.
"Why not?" Jamie questions.
"When the Faith Militant seized her and Margaery, what did I do? When they paraded her through the streets like a whore, what did I do?" Tommen says on the verge of tears.
"We all fail sometimes." Jamie says looking at me for help.
"The king is supposed to be the Protector of the Realm. If I can't even protect my own wife or my own mother, what good am I?" Tommen says angrily. The high sparrow enters the sept. Jamie takes Tommen by the shoulder.
"Go and see your mother and ask her to forgive you." Jamie orders.
"Roslyn take the twins back to their chambers, they must be getting tired." He orders. I knew what he was doing.
"Your Grace. Lord Commander." The high sparrow says, bowing down to them.
"I want to see my wife." Tommen commands.
"The gods wait for Queen Margaery to confess her crimes and seek their mercy. The king must wait as well." The high sparrow says, this guy is annoying me already.
"Go and see your mother, Tommen." Jamie commands again, I take his arm and exit with Tommen.
"What will Jamie do to him?" He asks me.
"I am unsure, but I'm sure he will sort your problem out for you." I say smiling at him.
"Go see your mother." I say and he walks off.

The next week everyone's moods seem lighter. I am taking a walk through the castle gardens with the twins when I see Jamie and Cersei. I couldn't hear what they were saving but it sounded urgent. I was going to turn back when the twins spotted Jamie.
"Daddy!" They yell going into his arms
"There you are!" He says picking them both up, Cersei looks enraged.
"Sorry to disturb!" I say walking towards them.
"No bother." Cersei says, glaring daggers at me.
"Jamie, we have a meeting to get to." Cersei says and Jamie looks at me apologetically.
"I shall come by tonight." He says kissing my head and dropping the twins down.
"Bye daddy!" They say waving at him as he walks away.
"Who's that lady?" Robb asks me.
"That's your daddy's sister!" I say and Robb nods.
"I don't like her." He says.
