24 -Chapitre 21-

-POV MC-

I smiled and then shook my head because they still hadn't recognized the reality and the precarious situation in which they all were:

"It saddens me deeply Lady Olenna, as I thought you among all would always be loyal to House Targaryen, I had even planned to grant your house a royal marriage blessed by the High Septon"

She sniffed disdainfully: "You are a bastard, whether a Stark bastard, or a Targaryen bastard, I will never marry my little girl to a bastard who has plotted against his rightful king"

I smiled and then said in a relieved tone: "I thank you, I am happy to hear that…"

She seemed surprised and confused by my admission and I continued saying:

"It will be much easier to kill Ser Loras after that" her eyes widened and I continued saying: "I mean imagine the scene at the altar, 'I'm sorry, I killed your brother, because he was a traitor' hahahaha…you're taking a serious thorn out of my side"

She stood up and said in a low and furious tone: "Be careful King Aegon, you seem to forget whom you are speaking to, the Reach can gather 100,000 soldiers and march on the capital in less than two weeks"

Unimpressed I dismissed her threats by answering: "barely, it would be a maximum of 50,000 trained swords and 50,000 peasants"

"Against 15,000 of your own peasants" she said with a mocking smile.

"Led by me" I said as if I were invincible.

"You're just a kid, taking the capital is certainly unexpected, but don't be mistaken all this is born from the stupidity of Robert Baratheon, you haven't accomplished anything worthy of my attention or my concern" she said and she wasn't completely wrong because even with my powers I couldn't stop 100,000 soldiers with an army of 15,000 soldiers even if they were as well equipped and trained as mine.

"I am fully aware of that, but it changes absolutely nothing about your situation, I have important members of your family, after today I will behead them all, you can return safely to gather your armies and the next time we see each other it will be either me dead or you the choice is in your hands" I said seriously because I was certain that I could bog them down in a war for years.

"I am willing to pay 100,000 gold dragons for each Lannister in your possession" said Tywin cutting the discussion between me and the old rose with an honest offer but one I would not accept.

I shook my head and retorted offended: "100,000 gold dragons, I am really tempted to kill one just to prove to you that I am not joking…"

"200,000" he continued without letting me say anything else.

"Go fuck yourself" I said and he frowned before continuing to outbid.

"400,000" he said.

"No" I said still with a determined expression but deep down I wanted only one thing to accept his proposal on the spot and count the coins like Scrooge.

"500,000" he said before adding "And that's my final offer"

I swore internally because I wanted to push him until he gave me 1 million gold dragons per blonde head.

"500,000 knowing that I hold Cersei, Myrcella, Joffrey, Tommen, Jaime, Tyrion, Lancel, Tyrek, and Willem that makes 4.5 million gold dragons that's a lot I must admit but it's still no!" I said adding to the list his nephews to add more hostages in the Lannister Pack he had to buy.

He gritted his teeth hearing my refusal and then I finally stated my conditions:

"I don't want a ransom, not in the strict sense, what I want for now is that you cancel all the debts the Iron Throne owes to House Lannister, I also want you to put your swords at my service, swear fealty to me and compensate House Targaryen with 5 million gold dragons"

He stood up furious and yelled

"You're dreaming these are terms of surrender we haven't lost yet if it's war you want then you will have it!!!"

GRRRRRRRR
