Craving // Tywin Lannister (2)

38. A Truce

'Where is she?' Cersei asked

'She will be here soon' Tyrion informed his sister.

'She did not travel with you?' cersei spat

'No' Tyrion said softly as Katherine left Tywin's side moving to Cersei. 

"Maintain your composure my love." Katherine instructed calmly. "You are the queen. She is nothing." 

"Tyrion-"

"Did what he had to." Katherine assured her kissing her forehead. 

They waited quietly for a moment before the screaming of dragons and wings flapping in the air could be heard above them. Daenerys Targaryen liked to make an entrance two dragons could be seen soaring overhead. They lower down onto the Colosseum growling in hissing down at them and then they lower down further so that Daenerys could get off her dragon.

While everyone else stood amazed and terrified cersei sat her face as stone as she watched the dragons land and the mother of dragons walk towards her everyone watch the dragons soared way.

"I want a dragon. Stefan, can we compel dragons?" Katherine whispered. Stefan shrugged in return.

"Never tried it."

Dany sat next to her council glancing over at Cersei

'We have been here for some time' cersei told her as Katherine took her seat again. 

'My apologies' Dany said nodding at Tyrion to begin.

'We are all facing a unique-' tyrion began but Euron Greyjoy called out

'Theon, Theon... I have your sister' he said 'if you do not submit to me here now I will kill her' he told him , Theon looked to Tyrion

'I think we are to deal with larger concerns-' tyrion went on he stood in front of them hoping this would be a civil conversation.

'Then what are you doing here? you are the smallest concern here' Euron informed him as Katherine very calmly got up flattened out her dress and moved to Euron.

'Do you remember when we discussed forfeitures?' Tyrion said trying to get back on track but his gaze shifted to his mother.

'You would not be allowed to live in the iron islands, we would've killed you at birth.' Euron told Tyrion. Tyrion let out a deep sigh. Trying to maintain his composure. 'Where im from you would be left to-" Eurons words were cut off as his head was removed in a quick snap. His body slumped to the ground his head bleeding out in Katherine's hands. Dany flinched back, her face going pale as Katherine released Euron's head letting to flop and gush on the ground before kicking it, his head rolled right to Daenarys.  

"Go on sweetie." Katherine encouraged as she took her seat again. Tyrion smiled back at her before continuing. 

'We are a group of people who do not like one another as this recent demonstration has shown we have suffered at each other's hands, we have lost people, if all we wanted was more of the same there would be no need for this gathering. we are entirely capable of waging war without coming face-to-face' Tyrion told them

'So instead we should settle our differences and live in harmony for the rest of our days?' cersei questioned sarcastically.

'We all know that will not happen' Tyrion told her

'And why are we here?' cersei snapped, Katherine grabbed her hand, centering her as Jon stood up

'We are not living in harmony it's a just about living. the same thing as coming for all of us. a general you cannot negotiate with, an army that does not leave bodies behind on the battlefield, Lord Tyrion tells me 1 million people live in the city they are about to become 1 million more soldiers in the army of the dead.' Jon told her
