6 killing Pycelle in public

Aerys was lying in a bathtub full of water.

Behind him, a pretty maid was cutting his hair and another was trimming his fingernails and toenails.

her body was aged and thin due to lack of care for years, but her look was still young.

with the care of the young ladies, he dried himself

Aerys looked like a new man, though thin and old, he now looked like a king.

'Rossart, who knew, at least when I was mad I could still find a talented man' thought Aerys

Aerys recalled what he discussed with Rossart a few hours ago.

Aerys in a good mood walked to where his son's wife was, he wanted to see his grandchildren

-------------------

in a strange alley, Pycelle surrounded with 5 guards walked

'damn, does this crazy king order me to pick up a young man in this filthy place? I could send anyone else, but do you only trust me?...ridiculous, when Lord Tywin arrives I want to see if you will still trust me hahaha' Pycelle thought

he walked in disgust on the dirty streets

suddenly he and his 5 guards found themselves surrounded by several bandits

"What do you want? I Grand Maester Pycelle, leave before I have your families executed" the old maester spoke

however they weren't bandits, they were members of the guild of alchemists wearing masks, all holding crossbows with arrows full of poison

Pycelle though scared was confident, no stupid thug would want to rob him knowing his identity.

however the only answer he got was an arrow full of poison in the chest, Pycelle didn't believe it, he looked down and saw his chest pierced.

the 5 guards reacted, but in smaller numbers they were soon killed, there were more than 100 bandits

Pycelle fell to the dirty floor, his dead body was visible and many people noticed everything.

the 5 guards were all loyal to the lannisters so they were sent together

this assassination plot was created by Rossart, there were many ways to kill Pycelle and make it look like an accident, but he chose to do it in public so that the news would spread

this was part of the city's defense plan

Garigus wore a mask and looked scared, as an alchemist and crazy arsonist he already killed but it was the first time he ordered a public murder and even of a member of the small council

"let's cut off this old man's dick, how dare he fuck my wife" Garigus shouted loudly, as if he was afraid that no one would hear

anyone with good intelligence knew this was bullshit

soon it was all over, Pycelle's corpse was left there in the street without the penis

soon poor people began to spread everything they saw and heard

hundreds of spies and "little birds" went to speak

It didn't take more than a few hours for them to discover that the alchemists' guild had murdered Pycelle.

an ominous rumor that the king's hand held Aerys hostage began, ravens flew

Rossart in this plan utterly offended the Citadel and even risked being called a traitor.

Meanwhile, Rossart was in a room inside the alchemists' guild creating new potions.

Tywin Lannister's Camp

Tywin Lannister was reading a raven's message

"so that freak alchemist went mad for good, even had the great Maester of the Citadel killed....." Tywin

"pass my orders, now our army will only rest for 2 hours, then continue marching" Tywin ordered

Afraid that something would happen to the king and his family, Tywin decided to march faster and not rest too much.

now the last worry about taking the city is gone, your people can easily enter in the name of "saving" the king

Tywin was worried about Rossart killing the royal family before him, after all he wants the credit for this to negotiate with Robert.

his army then still tired abdicated the rest
