Not Just a Kingslayer

Chapter 5

Jaime woke up sleepily with his arms wrapped around something soft. Cersei, he thought. Shoot it's morning I'm not supposed to stay the night in Cersei's room! He scrambled to get up and out of the room before it was too late, when suddenly he realized that it wasn't Cersei, it was his wife. My wife, he thought, savoring the words, I don't think I'll ever get used to that. And based on what Cersei said, she won't give me long to do so. He sighed. I wish she wouldn't take these things so far. She knows I will always love her, she's my other half. She has me wrapped around her beautiful little finger, and we both know it. Getting rid of my wife won't help anything, and it will probably cause even more suspicion. Plus, I'm starting to like her more and more.

He got up anyway and began pulling on his Kingsguard whites. He had been in Lannister crimson and gold yesterday, but today it was back to his duty. Suddenly, he felt eyes on his back and turned around. He found the Lady Daena gazing at him with an amused look in her eyes. "What are you laughing about?"

"You," she replied, with a twinkle in her eye. "Are you so married to your duty that you can't stay past dawn in bed with your wife on your marriage night?" As she saw a look forming on his face she quickly added,"Don't worry, I'm joking," with a laugh. She got up and walked towards him, still naked from the night before. "Let me help you fasten your cloak, it looks so pure, it makes me want to touch it." She stood behind him and fastened the cloak on his neck, then turned him around to face her. He looked her up and down. "Like what you see?"she laughed. "Because I do." Them she leaned in and kissed him. "Now go guard the king, and the queens while you're at it. Maybe even the rest of the people," she said with a laugh as she pushed him into the hall.

How did I end up married to that one, he thought with a laugh as he walked down the hall towards the throne room. As he was about to step in, a familiar hand pulled him back and into a passageway off to the side. "Sister," he said, "nice to see you this fine morning."

"Why so happy this morning, brother? It can't be that wife of yours, I saw what you had there last night, and it's nothing compared to another girl of yours," she smirked, pressing herself against him. "Just let me get rid of her for you, and then you and I can be really happy." She leaned in and kissed him lightly on the lips. "There's more where that came from."

Jaime shivered. Sometimes he hated the effect his twin had on him. He pushed her away. "For your information, sweet sister, my wife is completely capable of making me happy..."

She interrupted him,"Is she now? And would she say the same of you? You do only have one hand now, or had you forgotten?"

"We both know I'm still entirely capable in that aspect, sister, or had you forgotten?" Cersei blushed. Wow, when is the last time I saw that? I don't think I've ever seen her blush actually. "Anyway, we can't do this here. People will be suspicious even seeing us talk."

"Oh don't lie to yourself, brother. You're just scared of what you feel for me. When you lost your hand, you must have lost your courage too." And with that she pressed her body against his again.

He pushed her away again, a little more roughly this time. "Please, sister, I don't want to do this."

She glared at him. "Well, dear brother, if this is how you want it to be, so be it." And she stormed into the throne room, not looking back once.

Jaime sighed. And how did I end up with that one...

Daena quickly dresses after Jaime leaves and steps out into the hallway. She has some answers to find. As she is walking down the hallway, she hears her name being called and turns around to see Queen Margaery waving to her. She waits for her to catch up. "Good morning, Margaery."

"It is a good morning, Daena, but the real question is, did you have a good night?" Margaery said with a small smirk. Daena blushed. "I'll take that as a yes. Do you want to help me find King Tommen?"

"Sure." They continued walking. "Is there anything you can tell me about Jaime? We got to talk some yesterday, but not a lot."

"I understand. There were more important things to do," Margaery said with another smirk.

"Really, Margaery, I thought you were better than that!" They both laughed at that.

"Okay, I'll tell you what I know. Ser Jaime was made a member of the Kingsguard when he was very young, and he is known as the Kingslayer for reasons I'm sure you know." Daena nodded with a small grimace. "He has a younger brother, Tyrion, who recently escaped the dungeons and hasn't been found after killing his father Tywin. Many also blame him for the death of his mother when he was born. But enough about Tyrion. Jaime also has a twin sister, Cersei, who you met. Some call them the Golden Twins, and he is very close to her. Some say they are closer than siblings should be, if you know what I mean. Even that my little King may be more Lannister than was previously thought."

"I'd heard those rumors, but do you know if they're true?"

"I haven't seen anything myself, so I really don't know. But I hope for your sake that they aren't true. That would be horrible."

"Thank you so much, Margaery."

"No problem. Now let's go find my little King, shall we?"

And they went off to find King Tommen.
