The Shadow Queen of Tywin Lannister

Jaime's Confession (Extra/Deleted Scene)

[A/N] - Since many of you asked me about it throughout the story, I found the inspiration and wrote it! An extra chapter/deleted scene of the day Visenya confronted Jaime about killing Aerys, after some little drama to truly build up the scene.

I hope you all enjoy it. Let me know if there is any other scene you might want to see that was mentioned but never truly unfolded in the book.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

284 AC - Throne Room, Red Keep - King's Landing, Crownlands - Seat of Power: Robert I Baratheon

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It has been a few months ever since the crown prince Rhaegar fell into battle, and King Aerys was killed by his own kingsguard; Jaime Lannister.

A few months since the Baratheon Stag became the new ruler of Westeros and a few months since Lady Lyanna Stark passed away after childbirth. In those few months, many things changed, and many were forced to bend the knee to their new King or face exile by the Wall. 

However, despite that, everyone was invited to King's Landing to celebrate the good news: the union between two powerful and Great houses...

The Lannisters of the Westerlands and the Baratheons of the Stormlands.Cersei Lannister would marry a King in less than two days, and she was not the happiest with that arrangement. 

Yet she did not show it when the Lannisters showed up in all their Lion Pride in the Throne Room. Everyone wore their most expensive clothes, and the golden lion reflected and reminded everyone of the proud family they came from. 

Tywin and Visenya were the main attractions since the former Princess had not stepped foot in King's Landing since her "war crime forgival" after the war.

Yet here she was, supporting her beautiful, good daughter while she walked side by side with her fearsome husband, who a few months ago had children slain as proof of his might and his loyalty to the new King. Tyrion and Trystan had been held back at Casterly with Genna, both young and not need to attend. 

After all, even the power couple would depart one day after the wedding, none too keen on sharing a roof with the bloodthirsty stag that wore the crown. 

Kevan had also joined, standing right next to Visenya at the front of the rows, the closest to the Throne. 

The dragoness had her husband from the other side, and Cersei was at the very end, the closest to the Red carpet leading from the big double doors to the base of the sword-made Throne. A throne already smaller since Robert had chosen to remove them and the Dragon skulls, making the Red Keep feel even more foreign to the former Princess raised within the same walls.

The Throne Room was buzzing with life, every known House been present; invited as esteemed guests for the very first union between Lion and Stag.

King Robert sat on the Iron Throne, not seemingly sharing the excitement of the wedding but merely of the big feast he would host, the biggest so far. By his side, Lord Jon Arryn, his trustworthy Hand.

Robert did not bother to stand but upon lifting his hand, everyone in the room stopped talking and looked at him."It is with great pleasure, to announce the marriage between me, The King and Lady Cersei Lannister" he started, his words written for him and merely memorized a few hours prior. "The wedding will take place in two days time and the feast right after" he continued, a little more enthusiastic; especially after the applause he recieved from the crowd.

He then stood up, something glowing in his dark eyes as the applause and cheers for the union continued. All this time, he barely glanced at his future bride, his heart still aching for Lyanna Stark, whom he had lost right through his fingers.
