Rich Man / Tyland Lannister / Aislynn Hightower

29. Make an Entrance

''It is with great pleasure that His Grace, King Viserys, announces the start of the royal wedding celebrations. House Lannister with their lord, Jason Lannister. Lord Paramount of the West, and Master of Casterly Rock. House High tower with their lord, Hobert High tower. Beacon of the South, Defender of the Citadel, the Voice of Old town...'' Harrold announced.

"Don't." Tyland begged shifting Amelia in his arms. 

"I have to say hello, it would be rude." Jason countered. "I see mother is more annoyed than usual, did she see Aislynn already?" Jason mused. Tyland dead panned. 

"Where is mama?" Titus questioned coming up to them. 

"Helping your auntie." Tyland offered. 

"Oh is mothers bitter face because Otto Hightower left and didnt ask her for her wrinkled hand?" Jason cackled. 

"Why are you such a child?" Tyland questioned his twin.

"Look whos talking, little brother." Jason sneered. 

"I have a wife and three children." Tyland corrected. "What do you have?" 

"Casterly rock." Jason said proudly as he strut off. Tyland growled back at him. 

"Come on, lets go find a seat." Tyland suggested offering a tight smile down his TItus. 

''Congratulations, Your Grace. You have made a fine match for the Princess.'' Jason said as he approached.

''Thank you, Lord Jason. I could think of no better man than Ser Laenor.'' Viserys said with a chuckle.

'Well... if this is only the welcome feast, I admit, I cannot imagine what you might have planned for the wedding.'

''Well, my daughter is the future queen. I wanted this to be a wedding for the histories.'' Viserys reminded him.

''Where is the Queen? I had hoped to pay my respects.'' Jason offered looking down the table.

''I understand the Queen is still readying herself for the celebrations." Viserys informed him.

"This is why men wage war... because women would never be ready for the battle in time.'' Jason remarked with a chuckle

''Your presence is always such a pleasure, Lord Jason.'' Rhaenyra remarked stiffly.

"Fuck them, they want a war. We give them a war." Aislynn declared proudly.

"Fuck 'em!" Tobias laughed back. 

"We don't tell daddy said no no words." Aislynn corrected quickly. Tobias nodded giddy. 

"I dont know Lynnie." Alicent corrected. "I dont want war."

"I do. She lied to your face and acts all high and mighty, got father sacked and Viserys didnt even believe Rhaenyra was telling the truth, we handle this. Show her who the real queen is." Aislynn declared.

"I think I hate her." Alicent agreed softly.

"Good, about damn time," Aislynn agreed. 

"Bout damn time!" Tobias knew which words were no no words so when Aislynn said them he giggled echoing them. Aislynn rose a perfectly arched brow down at him. He hid in her dress skirt. 

"use that Queen boss energy." Aislynn declared. "She is entitled and petty, lying, traitorous-"

"I get it." ALicent assured.

"Show them who holds the power."

"I hunger." Tobias remarked. 

"Me too baby, lets get out there so Alicent can have her big moment." Aislynn winked back at her. The doors pushed open and all eyes turned expecting the queen for such a grand entrance but it was Aislynn. Tyland's smile grew as she soaked in the attention.
