Game Of Thrones... With A Twist

A Game of Thrones - Chapter 20

<That night, Gates, Castle Black, The Wall, The Gift (Brandon's Gift)...>

Jon opened the gates of Castle Black, wearing his cloak as he readied himself to ride south and join his brother.

The Lannisters had killed his father... he was going to make them pay.

"You can't!" Sam protested to Jon whilst the Younger Bastard of Winterfell turned and spoke, "Get out of my way, Sam."

"They'll put out the word. They'll send out ravens. People will come after you. Do you know what happens to deserters?" Sam spoke in vain, trying to get Jon to stop, but the Snow of Winterfell was determined. 

"Better than you do." Jon said as he turned to Sam, remembering when his father had taken him and Robb to watch the beheading of a deserter by the Warden of the North when they were ten.

"What are you going to do?" Sam asked, trying to persuade Jon otherwise.

"I'm gonna to find my brother and put a sword through King Joffrey's throat." Jon answered determinedly as he untied the reigns of his horse and moved to mount the steed. 

"You can't leave us now. We need you here." Sam protested.

Jon mounted his horse before speaking a single word, "Move."

"I won't let you go." Sam tried to say determinedly as he stood before the gates as Jon spoke in a harder tone, "Move." 

"No." Sam replied as Jon's face hardened.

The Younger Bastard of Winterfell urged his horse forward, riding past Sam as the unfortunately fat Tarly fell to the ground, struggling to get up a bit whilst Ghost ran after Jon, leaving Sam to watch them as they left.

<Same time, Tyrion's tent, Lannister War Camp, The Ruby Ford, The Trident, The Riverlands...>

"Hand of the King?" Shae asked as she picked up Tyrion's books. 

"So it would seem." Tyrion answered glumly from the bed, a goblet of wine in his hand.

"And your father said you couldn't take anyone with you to King's Landing?" Shae asked. 

"No, he said I couldn't take you with me to King's Landing. He was very specific on that point." Tyrion repeated in that same glum tone.

"He knew my name?" Shae asked in slight intrigue.

"What?" Tyrion asked in return, not expecting that question. 

"He said, 'Don't bring Shae with you to King's Landing'?" She asked him as she packed his clothes into his trunk, her voice suspiciously calm.

"I believe he used the word 'whore'." Tyrion answered as Shae put his clothes in the trunk.

She then turned to him and asked in an affronted tone, "Are you ashamed of me? Are you afraid that I'm dancing around the court with my tits out?!" 

That caused Tyrion to laugh a bit as Shae repeated the action mockingly before she continued in an affronted tone, "I'm funny now?"

"I'm Shae, the funny whore." She spoke sardonically as she turned her back on Tyrion.

"My father's probably the most powerful man in the country. Certainly the richest. He has all seven kingdoms in his pockets. Everyone everywhere always has to do exactly what my father says. He's always been a cunt." Tyrion stated in hatred for his own father, the man having been a major reason for his less-than-stellar childhood.

Cersei brought up the rest of his childhood torment.

Shae's rash actions stopped as she glanced at Tyrion before she closed the trunk quietly as she turned towards him.
