𝑯𝒑 𝑿 𝑮𝒐𝑻 (𝑪𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒔𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒇𝒇, 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒅) - in review

𝑫𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒏𝒆

The decision had been made, Viserys would go to Dragonstone to watch over it like a good Lord.
His maids, his Septa and Jaime would go with him.
The latter was trying to make Draco stop crying when Cersei entered the room and slammed the door.
"From how you entered I perceive that I was right."
Jaime was struck by Cersei's gaze, who sat down and drank a glass of wine to calm down.
"Yes you were right, he cares more about that little asshole than me."
“You know I'd like to know what happened, but first, wouldn't you be able to make your child stop crying? He hasn't stopped since you left. "
"Really?"
"Do you want me to show you the state of my poor ears?"
"No thanks, I don't care."
As soon as Draco was picked up by Cersei, his crying stopped.
'Good to know,' Cersei thought, 'in case someone wants to take him away, he'll be heard'.
"How did you ..."
"I'm his mom, he feels safe with me."
“And I'm his uncle, and also a Royal Guard. He can't be safer than with me. "
"Come on jealous boy, do you want to hear what Rhaegar said or not?"
"I'm here to hear that."
"In the meantime he was already nervous because I had disturbed him while he was solving important issues together with the help of the members of the Small Council, of which I am also a member, so I don't see what the problem was. Then when I told him, well, he understood that I wanted to send Viserys away he threw all the objects on the table to the floor. And then he said that he thought I wanted to send him away because he had found out the truth between you and me, and that Draco is your son and not his. "
“If that's what he thinks then he's really stupid, but you had to tell him the truth. It almost seems like you want to protect Viserys. "
"I'm not protecting that silly being! I am protecting Rhaegar. He killed his father because he was mad, if he knew Viserys is too and he killed him or was killed he would suffer. He loves his brother too much. "
"Maybe instead of killing him or having him killed he would control him."
"Can you tame a dragon?"
"No … "
“Rhaegar doesn’t know how to tame a dragon either. There is no one alive who knows how to do it. "
"But at the end of all this did he decide whether to send him away or not?"
"He said he would let me know."
“Do you want me to stay here until he arrives? Maybe you teach me how to make that little monster stop crying. "
"I'll let you stay and help you be a good uncle only if you start calling him by his name."
"… All right."
The hours passed and the twins found themselves sleeping peacefully with Draco.
Rhaegar came and saw them.
He was furious, he had to be at Cersei and the baby’s side, not Jaime.
The jealousy was too much to be contained and so he violently threw Jaime out of bed.
"What are you doing here ?!"
"Where am I? What is happening?"
Jaime asked confused.
"You were sleeping next to my wife and son!"
“Now is he your son? It seems to me that he is only when it suits you best. "
Jaime found himself even more groggy when Rhaegar punched him in the face, while Cersei and Draco woke up too.
“Rhaegar stop! Stop, please! "
Cersei shouted angrily.
Rhaegar stopped, and left Jaime free to get up.
His face was full of blood, but he didn't seem troubled by it as if it wasn't the first time this had happened to him.
"You are strong."
"Shut up, otherwise I'll finish you."
"It wouldn’t be nice to do it in front of your wife and son, you could upset them."
Rhaegar looked at Cersei standing with Draco in her arms, her face shocked and terrified.
When he looked back at Jaime he too realized what he had just done, and he felt stupid.
He had said he did not want to be like his father, he had promised himself and repeated but he hadn’t managed to quell his anger as he wanted. It seemed that he could no longer keep his promises, and in so doing he disappointed everyone.
" … I'm sorry. I did not want to. Jaime, Cersei, Draco could you ever forgive me? "
“It seemed to me that you were quite convinced of what you were doing to my beautiful face, but I forgive you. Now, if you will excuse me, I would go to the Grand Master to have my wounds treated. And I warn you, try to hurt my sister and my nephew and I will kill too kill a King. "
"Quiet Jaime, I calmed down."
Jaime left the room and Rhaegar approached Cersei who was taking steps back until she felt the wall on her back; there was no longer a place where she could go.
"Cersei, listen to me."
"I listen to you but don't try to touch me."
"Is it okay if I'm here?"
Rhaegar asked showing her how far away he was from her and the baby.
"Yes, that's fine there."
"I talked to Viserys and decided he will go to Dragonstone."
"Seriously?"
"Yes but … "
"But what?"
"I have decided that Jaime will go with him, and he will be his personal Guard and Ser Gerold Hightower will be mine."
"Where do you want to send Jaime?!"
"To Dragonstone."
"No, why on earth would you have to send him away?"
"You want me to send my brother away."
"So you decide to send mine away?"
She was angry with Rhaegar, and now she too felt something inside her.
She had moved away from him first, and now she was walking towards him with a furious face.
"It's not just that."
"And so why?!"
Now only a few inches separated them.
“Because I don't want you two to be close. Who tells me you didn't do anything before I found you sleeping together and moreover with our son? Who tells me that all this time you haven't deceived me, and you still love your brother? "
The sound of a slap boomed in the room.
Rhaegar's right cheek was slowly turning red and swollen.
Cersei didn't understand how he kept insinuating similar things, he didn't seem the same anymore.
"I tell you. And now go away, I don't want to sleep with you tonight and I'm sure Draco wouldn't like it either. "
"If that's what you want then I'll go to sleep with my brother since he'll go away tomorrow."
"Go sleep with one of the maids who want you so much if you want, I don't care."
Rhaegar left, he did not want to continue that conversation that was damaging their marriage and so he reached Viserys' room and helped him to arrange his luggage before sleeping with him.
The next morning, in the Red Keep, began with an air of sadness.
Only Cersei, Rhaegar, Jaime and Viserys knew why, while the others could only guess.
"I'll miss you little brother."
"I'll miss you too Rhaegar."
"Please be careful."
"And you try to be a good King."
"Always."
Rhaegar turned to Jaime who had not yet been notified of his new assignment.
"Is there something wrong, Your Grace?"
“No Ser Jaime. I just wanted to ask you if you can come here. "
"Sure."
Jaime walked over to him.
“Ser Jaime, you are now discharged from your post as my Personal Guard and you will be my brother's. You will go with him to Dragonstone and protect him in case someone tries to harm him. Ser Gerold Hightower will take his place as my protector. "
"Cersei ... Did you know?"
"He told me yesterday."
"Is there any problem Ser Jaime?"
Cersei looked at him with her eyes begging him to go.
It certainly wasn't what she wanted, but he had to.
She knew what Jaime wanted to do, he wanted to tell the truth in front of Rhaegar and all the people present but no one would believe him when Viserys was sad and in tears.
"No. I just didn't expect it, I'm happy to be able to go to the place where my King was born and still be able to serve him. "
“Well, that's it. Your bags have already been prepared. Now you can go. "
