47. Mountain

"Tyrion was here?"

"He was." Aeron agreed.

" is he hurt? Is he alright?" Zaria questioned " why come back here? His sister still actively trying to murder him."

" he had an offer... a peace treaty of sorts." Aeron answered.

" does your grandfather know?"

"Why was qyburn here?" Jaime questioned.

" Why are you here?" cersei demanded instead.

"I met with Tyrion.'' jaime answered cersei froze

" What did our brother have to say?"

"Daenerys wants to meet."

'To discuss a surrender?" cersei agreed

"To discuss an armistice." jaime countered

" She just won a great victory. Why would she want a truce now?'

''Because an army of dead men is marching on the Seven Kingdoms. Tyrion claims he'll have proof." jaime answered

" he was here?" Tywin questioned

"Aeron saw him. He is apparently hand of the Dragon queen. She wants a peace treaty. She wants to talk."

" if it were up to me I'd bring her here let her talk them kill her and win this war." Arthur interrupted.

" Are you going to punish him?" Cersei demanded.

"Tyrion?"

'' Bronn." she corrected jaime didn't understand. " He betrayed you. He set up a meeting without your knowledge or consent. Do you think anything of importance happens in this city without me knowing?"

''You let it happen. Why?"

'' I've come to believe that accommodation with the Dragon Queen could be in our immediate interest. She has the numbers. If we want to beat her we have to be clever. We have to fight her like father would have. Dead men, dragons and Dragon Queens, whatever stands in our way we will defeat it ourselves for our house. For this." she lifted her hands from the chair and places them both on her stomach indicating she was pregnant.

" Who will you say is the father?"

"You."

"Not possible." Jaime countered. "I havent touched you since winterfell." Cersei shrugged.

"Zaria will believe me."

" no she wont."

" won't she? You were always eager to come when I called before. Why would this be any different?"

" don't do this to me. We're happy." Jaime begged.

" then you will be a good dog and do as I say."

" I need to tell you something and you're not going to like it, but I have to tell you now so you know that it's not the truth." Jaime remarked.

" that sounds worrisome I don't like that one bit." Zaria answered

"Cersei told me that she's pregnant-it's not mine." he added hurriedly " but she wants to ruin the relationship we have so she is claiming that it is, but I swear to you, it isn't." Zaria bebated that. Every other time he denied it, he hit it from her and ignored it. This time he came to her, and she was inclined to believe him.

" I trust you." Zaria agreed. " if you say it isn't yours, it isn't yours. We're honest with each other now. That's the only way we can have a good relationship... a proper future."
