The Lion and the Warrior

A Killer Body

Three days had past and Helena was released from the dungeon and sent home to High Garden. "Where've you been the last three days?" Bronn asked.

"Does it matter? You don't care. You were out fucking some whore. More than one whore, I am sure of it."

"I'm going to ask you again. Where the fuck were you?"

"I was with Jaime Lannister. That's where I was."

"What were you doing with Jaime fucking Lannister."

"I was fucking a Lannister, that's what I was doing."

"What?"

"You heard me. While you were out fucking whatever whore you laid eyes on, I was out fucking a highborn, a real knight, a real..."

"A real cunt, Jaime Lannister. Okay, so you fucked him. Now what? You gonna fuck him again? You think he wants to fuck you again? Or did he even really fuck you?"

"He fucked me alright."

Bronn walked away and didn't pay attention to Helena any longer. He didn't care about Helena or that she was with another man. He didn't care enough about her to not sleep other women as he pleased. But he cared about Jaime Lannister. Helena was his wife. The one thing Jaime Lannister should never get his hands on, and did.

Men every where jealous of Jaime Lannister. They knew that women found him sensual and gorgeous, he was smart, rich and even without his right hand, he re-trained and could best any man in a sword fight - even Bronn, who helped him re-train.

There was no love lost between them when they cut ties. Sure they had some good times. But money was money and that's all Bronn cared about - he made that clear years ago. Jaime and Tyrion were right. Cersei was going to die and did and couldn't pay up, but Tyrion sure did. He kept his promise to double Cersei's offer of River Run. They all honored their promises. He allowed them to keep their lives, and they allowed him High Garden.

Jaime, Brienne, and James joined the Royal Family in the garden under the gazebo for their weekly breakfast together. "Good morning everyone," James announced.

"Good morning," everyone replied.

"Rhaella, we don't have lessons today, do you want to play knights and swing in the garden today?"

"Sure, but I get to be queen."

"Then that would make me king."

"Yes, you can be a knight and kill the evil usurper and then I will marry you and you can be my king."

The grown ups all looked at each other and laughed. "Apparently they do pay attention in history lessons." Jaime said.

"Yes well...not all usurpers are evil, Rhealla. Some just think they would be a better ruler." Jon said.

"Your grace, would you please pass the jam?" Brienne asked of Daenerys.

"Oh yes! This is plum jam, made fresh, early this morning. Jaime, I heard this actually one of your favorites."

"Yes, your grace it is. I think I shall try some this morning."

Suddenly Brienne felt sick again. Her head was spinning and she feared the worst. Just thinking about it made her gag. "Pardon me. I shall return soon." She rushed from the table and got as far away from everyone as she possibly could. Apparently it wasn't far enough because everyone could hear her being sick in the lupines.

Daenerys looked at Jaime, "Congratulations." she gave him a sly grin.

"For?"

Dany put her fork down, folder her hands on the table and stared at Jaime.
