Come Back. Be Here // Garlan Tyrell // (2)

10. Confess

Garlan had started on the couch but he ended up in Taeylor's bed. She tensed before relaxing, remembering how nice it was to be held like this. SHe turned her cheek as he breathed her in.

"This is nice." Garlan whispered.

"This is very inappropriate." Taeylor countered but she made to no attempt to move or to move him. She knew she was being foolish, she couldnt do this, she couldnt fall for him. He was married.

"I should speak to tommen again."

"I will go with you." Garlan agreed but neither of them moved.

"Garlan." Taeylor whispered turning over to face him.

"Taeylor." he answered. "Your bed is very comfy."

"I know." She agreed touching his cheek.

This is wrong but do wrong things feel right when you are lonely?

"A lie. A lie from the lips of Stannis Baratheon. He wants the Throne, but his brother's children stand in his way, so he claims they are not his brothers'. The filth. There is not one shred of truth to it. I deny it." Cersei declared.

"Good. But these are terrible charges. And the realm must know the truth of them. If Your Grace has given honest testimony, your trial will prove your innocence."

"Trial? I have confessed?" Cersei countered. All she had todo was confess.

Confessing was an easy thing when you confessed to yourself. You already knew your own hearts desire. Taeylor was falling for garlan. Easy enough. Now she had to stop.

"To a single sin. Others you have denied. Your trial will separate the truths from the falsehoods." Sparrow reminded her. Cersei grit her teeth but tried to remain clam.

" I bow to the wisdom of your High Holiness. But if I might beg for just one drop of the Mother's mercy. I haven't seen my son... I don't know how long it's been. I need to see him. Please."

"You have taken the first step on a path back to righteousness. In light of this, I will permit you to return to the Red Keep."

"Thank you. Thank you." Cersei agreed. She was going home and she was never coming back.

"The Mother is merciful. It is her you should thank."

" I will, I will. I swear it, day and night." Burn the mother cersei thought bitterly.

"Good." Sparrow agreed.

"Am I free to go?

"After your atonement."

Taeylor felt... conflicted when Cersei came back brusied and covered in food and dung. Her hair cut and her eyes red, she didnt look like the queen.

"Your Grace. It's good to have you back. Come. We'll take you inside. I need to have a look at those feet." Qyburn offered. " May I have the honor of presenting the newest member of the Kingsguard." Qyburn remarked proudly.

A hulking man, who had a blue face through the eye holes in his helm, walked over to Qyburn and Cersei. He took a broken and tired Cersei in his arms.

Taeylor shouldnt feel anything. But Cersei was family and she felt awful that Cersei had been humiliated as such.

" If it please Your Grace, he's taken a holy vow of silence. He has sworn that he will not speak until all his Grace's enemies are dead, and the evil has been driven from the realm."

Garlan stared back at a mangled cersei with distaste. Where were his siblings? He needed them free. The queen was useless to him. Taeylor knew he was upset but also knew he wouldnt stand for his sister his little sister to be stripped and marched through the streets. Never. Garlan would come up with a plan. He needed to get margaery out.
