COMPANION

with the black magic of my kohl, i'll make you forget your devotion

Tywin Lannister, the stern and formidable Lord of Casterly Rock, had a reputation that struck fear into the hearts of men. His iron will and ruthless efficiency were well-known throughout the Seven Kingdoms. However, beneath this hard exterior lay a heart that beat fiercely for one woman—Rhaena Targaryen. Rhaena was Aerys II's younger sister, a gentle and kind soul with lilac eyes that shimmered like gems, captivating all who saw her.

From the moment Tywin laid eyes on Rhaena, he was entranced by her delicate beauty and serene nature. Her kindness and grace stood in stark contrast to his own austere demeanor, and he found himself softening in her presence. He was deeply in love with her, and his obsession with her only grew with time.

Rhaena, for her part, was devoted to Tywin. She admired his strength and intelligence, even if his intensity sometimes frightened her. She saw the love in his eyes, and despite the fearsome reputation he held, she believed in the goodness within him. She cherished the gentle moments they shared, the times when he would caress her cheek or hold her hand with surprising tenderness.

Rhaena's lilac eyes were a source of endless fascination for Tywin. He would often find himself staring into them, losing himself in their depths. He loved to touch her, to feel her warmth and softness. It was as if he couldn't get enough of her, and he constantly sought physical contact, whether it was holding her hand, resting his hand on her shoulder, or wrapping his arm around her waist.

-

Their idyllic relationship, however, was not without its challenges. Joanna Lannister, Tywin's cousin and once a close confidante, who once was tywin's source of fantasies, seethed with jealousy. She had always harbored feelings for Tywin and had envisioned herself as the Lady of Casterly Rock. Rhaena's arrival and the deep bond she shared with Tywin shattered Joanna's dreams, and she could not hide her resentment.

Joanna's jealousy manifested in cruel remarks and subtle attempts to undermine Rhaena. She would criticize Rhaena's appearance, mock her gentle nature, and try to sow discord between her and Tywin. Rhaena, ever kind and forgiving, often ignored Joanna's barbs, but the tension was palpable.

-

The breaking point came when Rhaena became pregnant with Tywin's child. Her joy was immense, but so was Joanna's bitterness. Joanna's remarks grew harsher, and her attempts to belittle Rhaena became more frequent. One day, during a gathering in the Great Hall of Casterly Rock, Joanna crossed the line.

As Rhaena walked into the hall, her growing belly a testament to the life within her, Joanna sneered and loudly remarked, "It seems our delicate princess has turned into a fat cow. Perhaps she should spend less time eating and more time learning how to be a proper lady."

The hall fell silent. All eyes turned to Tywin, whose face darkened with rage. He stood up slowly, his eyes blazing with fury. The room held its breath, waiting for his response.

-

Tywin's voice, cold and authoritative, echoed through the hall. "Joanna," he began, his tone like a knife, "you will not speak to my wife in such a manner again. Your jealousy and pettiness have been tolerated for far too long. Rhaena is carrying my child, and you will show her the respect she deserves."

Joanna's face turned pale, her defiance crumbling under Tywin's glare. But Tywin wasn't finished. He stepped closer, his eyes never leaving Joanna's. "You are no longer welcome at Casterly Rock," he declared. "You will leave immediately, and if I ever hear of you speaking ill of Rhaena again, I will ensure you regret it."
