Snow Ghost [Jaime Lannister]

Chapter IV. Book Of The Stranger

Narrator POV

In Driftmark, in the library. Viserys sits at the desk surrendered by a dozen of books around him. Aeryn walks in. Viserys stands "Uncle"

Aeryn sits "Sit down"

"I am sorry, I have not joined anything lately"

"No need, you have a duty to do"

Viserys smiles "Come on, I have nothing here, even the throne it's a lie"

Aeryn stands and closes the door "Why is that?"

"It is not my throne anymore, it is for Aelor if you will make me marry Saera and that will not make me on the throne too"

"If I give it to Aelor or Aemon means a wage a war between them. You are the one who should sit on the throne until we see what will happen to this family"

"There is already war between us, uncle. you wage it when you betrothed Daella to Aelor. Daemion wants the throne"

"You are right"

Lyanna POV

In Kingslanding, the red keep. I walk outside and look at the castle and all the memories I had here.

Jaime follows me "I talked with Harwin and he commands everything, I will be in contact with you with ravens" I look away "You can not even look at me. But that is the right thing. You will have a new life maybe wed again" Tears are in my eyes and I stay looking away not facing him "I hope you will be fine, Lady Lyanna" He walks away.

I wipe my tears and take a deep breath.

Genna approaches me "Lyanna what meaning of this?"

"What? I'm leaving"

"You know what I'm talking about, Lyanna. You broke his heart"

I sigh "I broke his heart, and he left me for her, I know she is his sister and he must choose her but as a sister, not a lover, Aunt Genna"

"He loves you, Lyanna"

"Maybe but he abandoned our chamber for months before we went get Myrcella and now he abandoned me forever and I know some of it my fault"

Genna sadly "Do not ruin what's between both of you"

"It is already ruined"

Kenna approaches us holding a book "You ready?"

I nod "Yes"

Genna to Kenna "You agree with her leaving, Tell her something"

"I want her to stay__" I give Kenna a look "Let her do what she wants, Lady"

I sigh "We can not fix this, I will go to Harrenhal"

Genna grabs my arm inside the castle "Come with me" We get inside a chamber alone and close the door between us "Yell, scream, break something, do anything, you dead and back, your two sons died, your husband abandoned you, do something"

I take a vase and throw it on the wall screaming and sit on the floor.

Genna sits next to me and wipes my hair.

I sigh " I came here when I was seventeen years old, five years ago. I barely remember North maybe some of Winterfell! It's romanticized, a picture in my mind" Genna holds my hand "The truth is..." I close my eyes "Jamie has always been my home! not north or south. Just him. I threw myself into helping you because it meant that I could stay!" I look around "Now there is nothing even no North. I can not stay here and sustain my rule! But how I can wed another?
