Revelations

A couple of minutes after Barthogan came back from Tower of Joy to the Throne Room of Red Keep, the ones with the highest command in the armies that marched to the King's Landing entered the throne room one by one.

The first to enter were a middle aged man, he had green eyes and blonde hair and he was dressed in crimson gold armor. Right next to the man was a giant knight, ready to pounce on anyone if given orders by the blonde haired man. Jaime, who had been on the ground sitting recognized his father and stood up as fast as he could after seeing the piercing look his father gave him.

After a couple of seconds, the door opened and a handsome man who looked powerful from one look, and a young large man with board shoulders entered the throne room with two other people with them acting as guards.

Right behind the Tyrell's, the heads of Royalist Army and the Rebel Army entered the throne room, Prince Lewyn Martell and Ser Barristen Selmy, for the Royalist, Robert Baratheon and Eddard Stark for the Rebels.

They all entered the throne room with a general grade knight accompanying them. At last, Albern entered the the throne room with Rhaegar, Elia and another women and said "Everyone is present here my liege."

Nodding at Albern, Bart stood up from the steps of the Iron Throne and said "The King is dead. The war is over."

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TO SAY THAT THE WAR IS OVER!" Robert shouted out as soon as Barthogan said. Tilting his foreword, Barthogan removed his helmet, and seeing the face under the helmet everyone reeled back from shock as he looked like the late Brandon Stark.

Looking at Robert with a look that promised pain, Barthogan said "I'm Barthogan Stark, second born of Lord Roderick Stark and younger twin brother of Brandon Stark. If anyone have a say in this war then it's me. Do not disturb me when I am speaking again."

After saying that, Barthogan's eyes went toward Eddard and said "Ned."

"Bart." Eddard just nodded back by calling his long lost brother by his nickname that they used to call him. Blinking for a couple of times, Ned said "Father presumed that you died."

"Well he was wrong, and we can talk about it in private after things are settled in here." Bart said then looked at Rhaegar, Elia and the women the they came in with.

Looking at the women he said "If you find it in your heart to forgive me for killing your husband it will be good. If not then that's not a problem with me either. He killed my brother and father, I just returned the favour."

The Queen just nodded at him and didn't speak anything. When Prince Lewyn Martell and Barristan Selmy heard that they tried to unsheathe their swords, but they stopped midway as they felt blade against their necks.

Looking at them all, Albern said "You all have weapons with you because we know that we can take you down within half a breath, and our liege could take you all down faster than that. So stay your hands, unless you want to loose it."

"Thanks for the build up, Grand Marshall." Then looking at the people who have gathered in the Throne Room, Barthogan said "Now before I forget, let me ask you this Rhaegar, did you kidnap my sister Lyanna or not?"

Looking proud, he said "I didn't kidnap her. We were in love and we eloped."

"LIES!!" Robert Baratheon shouted out from where he was standing next to Ned.

"He's telling the truth though. Now be silent, he's answering my questions so that we can have a better understanding of the things that have occured before the start of the war." Bart said while looking at Robert.

Turning to look back at Rhaegar, Bart asked "Did you try to inform my father and brother about it?"

"We sent a raven to Winterfell after we married at Drone." Rhaegar said.

"GRARAGGGG" Robert growled out as he heard marriage, the other people who were present were also surprised at that, and Tywin Lannister who has been observing everything asked Rhaegar "Then what about Princess Elia?"

"She is still my wife. Elia is my wife under the Seven and Lyanna is my wife under the Old Gods." Rhaegar said.

"Uh huh, then where were you when my brother and father were killed? You know what, don't answer that, but answer this, what prompted you to take Lyanna as your wife other than love?" Bart asked Rhaegar, and his eyes showed that he wouldn't take a lie for an answer.

"The Song of Ice and Fire. It's a prophecy of old, a prophecy of Prince Who Is Promised. It was said that the Prince would be born from my fathers and mothers line." Rhaegar said.

"The Song of Ice and Fire is lost to the Targaryen's during Dance of the Dragons, so pray tell me where you heard the Song of Ice and Fire?" Bart asked Rhaegar.

"I read it in a book that Varys gifted my father." Rhaegar said, and he was confused as to why Barthogan was asking him non essential questions.

"Right after knowing the prophecy, did you start to have visions?" Bart asked again.

"Yes, I have been having visions of a wolf with blue roses as a crown, three dragons, a three eyed raven, things like that." Rhaegar said.

"What are you coming at after asking the Prince these questions?" Tywin Lannister asked.

Tilting his head, Bart said "I am showing you guys that someone has been manipulating Rhaegar by giving him prophetic dreams. And from the information that I have gathered in short while, I believe that King Areys has been poisoned by someone and another one has been instigating his trust issues in his vassals and his own son."

"What? You are saying that someone made King Areys into the Mad King?" Mace Tyrell asked surprised by the revelation and Prince Lewyn Martell asked Bart "Is it true that the King has been poisoned?"

"Well the man himself told me that he was poisoned when he regained some sanity, but he couldn't name the one who did it. And the one to instigate his trust in everyone is none other that the Master of Whispers, Varys. He will be joining us shortly for confessing his crimes." Barthogan said as he looked at everyone.

Tilting his head towards Ned, Barthogan said "Ned, I heard you married."

Nodding his head Ned said "Catelyn Tully, daughter of Lord Holster Tully."

"Good." Then looking at Robert, Barthogan asked "What's your relation with this war again?"

"LYANNA STARK IS MY BETHROTED!!" Robert shouted out in fury.

Turning his head to Rhaegar, Barthogan asked "Prince Rhaegar, were you out of your mind? No, don't answer that, you were out of your own mind the moment you decided to take a girl as your wife even after you were married to Princess Elia." Shaking his head Bart answered himself.

Right after that, the throne room opened and a bald man entered through the door escorted by two knights of Barts shadow knights. Looking at the new comer, Bart said out loud "Welcome Varys, Master of Whispers. Was you sleep peaceful, or were you dreaming abut something?"

"Who might you be, my Lord?" Varys asked warily as he was dragged from his chambers after he visited one of his little birds to pass on some information to the other continent.

Smiling at the man, Barthogan said "Well, I am not a Blackfyre, if you are asking about that."

Without a change on his face. Varys asked "What do you mean by that, my Lord."

Suddenly, Barthogan dropped his smile and looked at Varys with an ice cold gaze that reminded all the people present in the throne room to remember that the one in front of them is a descendant of Winter Kings of old times. Closing his eyes, Barthogan said "Why don't you come clean about your crimes against the Realam? Why don't you come clean about instigating King Areys to have trust issues with his Hand, Lord Tywin Lannister? Why don't you come clean about informing about Prince Rhaegar and his plans?"

"It is my duty to inform my King about the things that he does not know. I haven't lied to my King and I have kept no secret from him, and if you think that you can accuse of doing my duty as a crime, then I would say that you are wrong in doing so." Varys answered with a straight face and a little bit of anger in his eyes.

Opening his eyes, the grey orbs locked on to the illiac eyes of the spider and asked "So the King knew of every secrets there is to know? Even about your distant Blackfyre lineage, Varys Blackfyre?"

"What?" Rhaegar Targaryen, Rhaella Targaryen, Tywin Lannister, Ser Barristan Selmy, Prince Lewyn Martell and Mace Tyrell asked in unison as they couldn't believe what they have just heard.
