Chapter 34
JAMIE LANNISTER
Jamie Lannister had not seen a more astute political mind than his own father—that was until Daemon Lannister put him under his thumb, keeping both his and his sister's honor hostage. The man was the second coming of the devil itself, and yet he was not a man to be crossed.
And despite all that, the man kept his oaths, and as he had promised despite it being a decade since that fateful night that had ended with him losing his right hand, his and Cersei's sister remained unknown to all but a few, keeping his and his sisters honor intact. His life had truly transformed that day, and often he wondered what would have become of him had he not followed Cersei that night, that would he be really be in his current situation if he had kept his own oaths that night.
Alas! He would never know.
Jamie had been forced to hang up the white Cloak, becoming the first knight in history to be removed from the Order, and would return to Casterly Rock, both without his sword hand and his honor. Tywin Lannister would become furious upon learning of his and Cersei's actions, and it was the first time he had seen the monster his own brother saw in their father.
The man would disown his daughter then and there, claiming her to be useless and writing her off as he had Tyrion, and Jamie was forced to wed a year later to Alyssane Leoford, the daughter of Lord Leoford, a rather meek girl who was his father's choice for her.
Their marriage was one of convenience, and though he had two children from her, a part of him still missed the secret trysts with Cersei even after all these years, who was married herself to a sword swallower in the form of Lord Jon Cunnington of Griffin Roost. He had waited for years, years until he could finally hold her again, and he knew that if he were ever to be able to do that, then Tywin Lannister needed to die, though the man needed no help in that regard.
Despite Jamie's constant council, the man refused to budge and continued to go against the King, thinking him a boy. Only Jamie Lannister knew that Daemon Targaryen was no boy, but the devil came again. And now, with his father trying to join hands with traitors, the message had arrived from the capital a few days prior to arrest everyone involved in the conspiracy, and as a reward for his service, Cersei would be returned to him.
"AGHH!" he grunted in pain as Euron Greyjoy pushed a chair into him, making him stumble back before the man suddenly picked up the wine bottle from the table and threw it into the fire, as a massive explosion basked the whole room in smoke.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!" his father raged as he pushed himself back up and chased after Euron Greyjoy who jumped out the window.
"Catch him," he screamed as he saw the man vanish and fall to the stairs surrounding the tower as the guards chased after him before he turned and found his father staring at coughing and looking at him in unbridled rage, as the guards detained the Magister from Lys.
"What do you think you are doing, Jamie?" he raged and he stood straight as he answered.
"I warned you," he began as he looked towards the guards.
"Do not go against King Daemon, and yet you refused to listen," he began.
"This is preposterous! We came to you in good faith, lord Tywin!" the magister screamed, and yet his father ignored the man, looking him in the eye as the realization dawned on him.
"All these years, it was you," he gasped out as his face turned cold and still.
"It was you spying on me, on your own father. Joining hands with that cur!" he raged, and Jamie shrugged.
