Lady Johanna Lannister was born to Lord Tywin Lannister and Princess Daella Targaryen his first wife.
Lady Johanna held no Lannister looks thus, Aerys II the Mad King demanded she marry his second born son the Prince Daemon Targaryen.
10 moons afte...
"I want the banners raised!" Daemon roars into the nervous silence that fills the hall as the lords around the painted table bow their heads to their King as he glares around at them as Johanna stands beside him with her eyes holding a fury that they had never held before.
"My son will be returned to us," Daemon glances at Johanna who puts a hand to his arm as she looks down at the painted table.
"The reach has been burnt, their stores in the Red Keep will take a hit," Johanna tells the lords who watch her closely "They will suffer worse if they do not realise my son to me."
Daemon nods as he looks back at the table "If a single hair is harmed on his head, a bruise, cut anything I will double ten fold."
Daemon looks at the lords who look back at him "I want the banners called, the Black Dragon Banner shall be raised."
The lords nod nervously as they glance at each other. The Black Banner was Daemon Targaryen's personal banner that promised destruction and war.
"Any house that does not stand under the Black Dragon Banner will be destroyed if they stand in our way and those who don't stand with us shall be punished when I am on the Iron Throne."
Ser Sebastian bows his head to Daemon who nods back at him as he looks him over before pulling a chain from his belt that he holds out to Ser Sebastian who takes it with a frown as he looks down at the chain that is made of hands.
"My King?"
"I pronounce you, Ser Sebastian Cooke Hand of the King until this war is over and my son and heir is returned to me."
"You honour me my King" Ser Sebastian says as he bows his head to Daemon who hums as he looks him over after glancing at Johanna who nods to him.
"It is not an honour," Daemon says "It is a duty. One I expect you to live up to."
"I shall do my best," Ser Sebastian says "Even if it kills me."
Johanna looks at him sharply as Daemon nods pleased as he turns to the painted table.
"What do you propose?" he asks the knight who glances at him before looking down at the table as the lords glance at each other annoyed they were not asked to be Hand of the King as they step away from the painted table.
"Hit them hard and fast," Ser Sebastian says "Before they have time to send out ravens, use the dragons your house has to hit them from above. While they are focused on the dragons use the sea to attack them from behind as the army approaches from in front. Surround them."
"If they get ravens out?"
"Archers. Have them shoot them down. Make sure they have no way to reach allies." Daemon nods pleased as he listens to Ser Sebastian's words as Johanna studies the painted table closely as Maegor stands beside her.
"Messengers," Both her husband and former lover look at her as she points to a point on the painted table of a hill. "There are passages out of Kingslanding, they come out here and here" she points to another place on the opposite side of the table.
"Soldiers will guard the exits," Sebastian tells her "Any messenger that leaves from those points will he taken. We will make sure that no message can leave Kingslanding."
"And if they hurt Aegon in revenge?"
"They know that he is the only thing they have of value to us," Daemon tells his wife who looks at him.
"Cassian?"
"He is Robert's heir, he will not be harmed." Sebastian tells the Queen who looks from her husband to the knight. "Aegon is the only thing they have to hold over us, they will not kill him."
"There are somethings worse than death,"
"And we can deal with those afterwards."
"Very well," Johanna nods "Raise the banner."
"Realise the Black Dragon!"
