In the North

Part II

Cersei summoned Jaime in her chambers.

It was either business or his cock that she wanted, Jaime knew. Maybe even both.

But he was in the mood for neither.

Somehow, it felt wrong when Brienne was in the same castle as he is

Though it never bothered him before.

He'll go for the former anyway.

Tommen still needs him after all.

...

"There's wildfire in the sept," Cersei told him. "I've conjured up a plan to destroy our enemies."

Jaime's eyes widened.

"You're not-,"

"Yes, I am, sweet brother," Cersei chuckled as she slowly and seductively strode toward Jaime. "In fact, I've had Qyburn about to set up the arrangements just before you came in."

"Who else knows about this?" Jaime said through gritted teeth.

"Just him," she hummed as she massaged Jaime's tense shoulders. "Maybe his little birds, too."

Jaime's seat scraped and he fled off to the dungeons where he knew the non-maester worked.

...

Jaime caught up with Qyburn near the dungeons.

"My lord," Qyburn greeted.

"Who else knows about the location of the wildfire?" Jaime asked.

"Why?" Qyburn looked skeptical.

"Her Grace insisted on secrecy," Jaime deadpanned.

"Just me, but I'm on my way to tell my little birds-"

As Jaime withdrew the blade from the man's belly, all he could think of is relief that he wouldn't have to kill children. Cersei made him do the worst things-even if this time it was against and not for her. He didn't want to kill the man who had helped him heal his stump but Qyburn was a shady man in the first place. The latest member of the Kingsguard is proof of that.HHe

...

It took many of the Lannister forces to bring Ser Robert Strong down, and even then, many perished. But Jaime needed to get rid of the brute because he knew he will get in the way should things turn badly when he'll confront his sister

...

Jaime stormed the throne room with Brienne, Bronn and Podrick behind him. He found his sister seated on the Iron Throne. She was swirling a glass of wine in her hand.

"Thank the gods. I heard the commotion outside, please tell me-," Cersei stopped when she noticed her brother stomping toward her with a furious expression and a blade.

.....-ooO0Ooo-.....

"Jaime..."

Her voice seemed to snap Jaime back to reality. Brienne had been worried about Jaime ever since he and Cersei were sent to the Wall.

"Pardon, my lady. I was lost in thought," Jaime replied.

You are always lost in thought ever since Daenerys, she wanted to say.

"You need not worry about it, Jaime," Brienne said instead. "Cersei had told me worse things."

Jaime wrinkled his nose.
