You Signed Up for This / Jaime Lannister (2.1)

46. Queens & Kings

 'He betrayed our queen.' Grey worm told them. Tyrion stared back at Rieka, every time he saw her she had another baby it seemed. Lucian slept drooling on her chest. 

''She burned the whole of kings landing to the ground. Everyone in it. Gone. Innocent children. Gone. People just trying to live in peace. Gone.' tyrion told Rieka softly.

'And what of Jon?''

'He killed our queen.' Grey worm shouted.

 ''She needed to be stopped. She was never going to stop. Everything was going to burn.' tyrion told them and Rieka nodded. She warned him. 

'Where is jon?" Rieka asked again. 

''Jon snow is our prisoner just like tyrion'

'Some of you might be quick to forgive but the iron islands are not, we swore to protect to follow to serve Daenerys Targaryen.' Yara told them.

'You swore to serve a tyrant!'

'She got rid of cersei Lannister. Let the unselling give him what he deserves he stabbed a dagger through her chest!' yara demanded.

"Say one more word about my brother and I will slit your throat!' Rieka warned before looking to Lucian on her chest. "Arya will slit your throat."

"I will." Arya agreed.

'Friends please we have been cutting each other's throats long enough'. Davos said 'if it was not for you and your men we would've lost the war with the undead... there's land in the reach Good land the people that used to live there or gone make it your home start your own house as the unsullied as your Bannerman.' Davos suggested 'we have had enough war to know we need to find a better way way.'

'We do not need payment we need justice' Gray worm told him 'Jon Snow cannot go free.'

'It is not for you to decide' Tyrion corrected. 

'You are not to speak everyone has heard enough words from you!' Grey spat at him.

'You're right and no one is any better for it. But it is not for you to decide, Jon committed his crime, his fate is for our King to decide or our queen.' Tyrion told them.

'We don't have a king or queen'

'You're the most powerful people in Westeros choose one' Tyrion told them. 'Make your choice then.''

"Choosing a new queen or king?" Rieka questioned confused. 

''My lords and ladies I suppose this is the most important moment of our lives what we decide today reverberate throughout history I stand before you as one of the senior lords in the country and veteran of two wars and I like to think my experiences lead to some small scale and craft and-' Edmure Tully was saying.

'Thats never going to happen, uncle.' Rieka corrected, begrudgingly he turned around and went back to his chair.

'We have to choose someone.'' Davos remarked. 

'Why just us?' Sam asked 'we represents all the great houses but whoever we choose won't just serve over lords and ladies perhaps we should let the decision go to everyone, it will affect everyone.' Sam suggested and everyone broken into laughter. Rieka shrugged. 

'Maybe we should give the dogs a vote as well.''

"People are stupid and voting would take forever, and people can be bribed, its not a good way to have an actual honest vote, best be us." Rieka remarked honestly. 

'I suppose you want the crown?' Edmure asked tyrion

'Me? An imp? Half the people hate me for betraying daenerys the other half hate me for following her.' Tyrion told them.
