Tywin looked at Sparrow coldly.
"We are sincere, hand of the king," he said.
"I have very little interest in your sincerity, sparrow...Either you give me the queens or I eliminate you along with all your little birds" he said.
The supreme sparrow shrugged.
"I don't doubt your words, but the seven guide me, we are enough to finish any house that causes slander before the seven," he said.
Tywin raised an eyebrow.
"I am a Lion, do you think I fear a mob like you and your birds," he said.
"My birds defeat empires," he said with a smile.
Tywin laughed.
"Empires? You? You are nothing sparrow, nothing more than a fallen priest, but I am Tywin Lannister, and you know very well what I can do, perhaps it starts here at King's Landing, destroying the sept," he said.
"And turn all faith against you?" asked the sparrow.
Tywin shrugged.
"And? Do you think I fear your faith? Look carefully where we are Sparrow, they came here, because the dragons expelled them from Essos, and here I eliminated the Dragons, or did you forget that, too" he said.
"Faith is not as weak as before," the sparrow clarified.
Tywin raised an eyebrow.
"Oh but yes it is. I think that after the sept, it will be ancient...Where your capital lies, once I set fire to the last sept, I tear out the entrails of all the priests, I bathe myself in the blood of the septa and I will give the silent sisters to my men Do you think anyone will remember the seven...No, sparrow, they will only remember me," he said.
The sparrow sighed.
"You can't talk to a devil like you," said the sparrow.
"Devil? Thank you, that is praise, a terrible figure, a terrible power, like a Lannister... Devil suits me well " he said.
"You ask me to negotiate, Lord Lannister...I only hear threats," he said.
The old man raised an eyebrow.
"What do you want?" he said.
"A fair trial, on condition, if she is guilty Queen Cersei will be punished, but in exchange for you not intervening, she will not be killed, but rather condemned as a silent sister, or exiled," he said.
Tywin thought for a second.
"It is the best offer, for Queen Margaery, you must not fear, she has been wise in choosing her faith," said the sparrow.
Tywin watched him leave and a soldier approached.
"Well?" he asked.
"The rock is under siege, there is no way to get there without breaking the Ironborn's ship barrier," said his informant.
Tywin cursed.
"Jaime, how were you such an idiot," he muttered.
"Is there anything else?" He asked when he saw that the informant did not leave.
"Representatives of the Iron Bank have arrived at King's Landing," he said.
"I already negotiated with them, months ago," he said.
"I think you will want to listen to them, my lord, they do not seem to have come to collect money" he finished.

Arya looked around the camp and approached the central tent.
She watched Robb sitting on his throne thinking.
"Hello," she said.
The king of the north looked at her, he smiled when he saw her.
"Is everything okay?" she asked.
Robb nodded.
"In a few days I will attack, the towers, once they fall, only the door separates the rock from us " he informed her.
"Perfect," she whispered.
"What are you doing here? I thought you and Queen Selyse were training Gendry?" he asked.
"He was already declared guardian of the land of storms. I came to help, what else? Did I kill someone? " She asked.
Robb rolled his eyes but then thought for a moment.
He gave Arya a letter.
'Dear King Robb Stark.
We've been at a crossroads, my son wishes that my granddaughter Margaery be queen, she has led us to raise arms against the north, not out of hatred but ambition, unfortunately in the situation with the bleeding kingdoms and their peoples being eliminated, there have been few options for us in the fields.
I'm so sorry to hear about your father, Ned Stark, he was a good man, who went through his life with a great sense of honor and duty. We mourn his death, it was not what he deserved, unfortunately regretting it is not enough to join us to the north, but as you see now things are different, lions can't control the kingdom, they lose every battle, in the deserts the kingdom of Valyria rises to dominate the serpents, and the mad king's daughter brings dragons with her.
That looks bad for any kingdom, convincing my son abandoning the idea of my granddaughter as queen is very difficult, but not impossible.
The dominion has not taken much part in the war against the north, but we are willing to kneel, now more than before, my granddaughter, the queen, she is being tried for faith, not for committing sins but by the manipulations of the Lannisters, Save her, and make a queen of her, My son won't care if she is a second or third wife, as long as he has a crown on her head, if she does I guarantee the full support of the dominion in the war against the Lannisters and any other.
Sincerely
Olenna Tyrell'
"Isn't his daughter married to the king? " she said.
"They don't seem to care, you wanted to help... Rescue Margaery Tyrell, and bring her to me," he said.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Valyria?" Tywin asked.
"As you see, Mr. Tywin, we are running out of options, we have tried to negotiate, but the slave market is worse than ever, almost irreversible, we find it necessary to ask for your assistance," said the man.
"I am currently at war," he said.
"The king attacks Dorne, one of his kingdoms," the man said.
"A kingdom in rebellion, the Martell have betrayed us, I should thank Valyria more than attack them," he said.
The man raised an eyebrow.
"We both know that the support of the north comes from Valyria... We both know that Daenerys Targaryen is married to the king of Valyria, and we both know that she follows after Dorne," he said.
The lion looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Lord Tywin, your family is on the verge of collapse, your allies are abandoning you, you have a war that you are losing, whether you like it or not. But the iron bank can still support you, we will cancel your debts, if you give us the king's head " he said.
"The Lannister and Baratheon debts?" Tywin asked.
The man denied it.
"No...no, Only the Lannisters, my negotiations are with you and only you," said the man.
"Then I must reject it, currently I am the hand of the king, my responsibility is with the seven kingdoms, not only with the west," he said.
The man sighed.
"Okay, the entire debt of the kingdom will be paid off, but only if we have the king's head," he said.
[T/N: Which one, the king's landing one or Robb?]

"Queen Daenerys," Arianne greeted.
"Princess Arianne," she said.
They both sat at the table having breakfast.
"Princess Sansa? " Arianne asked when she didn't see her.
"With your brother, they haven't woken up yet, I imagine," she said.
Arianne raised her eyebrow.
"Oh," she said.
"Oh yes, let's hope the king doesn't find out, or else...Well, you won't have to worry about your brother anymore," she said.
The woman raised an eyebrow.
"Maybe he would kill him," she said.
Danny nodded.
"Without a doubt, the king loves his sister, he is overprotective," she said.
"A shame," she said.
"Sansa talked to me, I'm surprised that you offered her Sunspear, it's your inheritance after all," she said.
"Martell inheritance, not mine, I am happy, if Quentyn or Trystane are named guardians of Dorne," she said.
"As long as you have a higher position" Danny clarified.
The woman shrugged.
"I'm from Dorne, I like being on top," she provoked.
Daenerys smiled at that.
"How high up? " She asked curiously.
"The higher the better," she admitted unceremoniously.
"What do you really want?" Danny asked.
"I guess second queen is not offered," she tried.
"I can accept a dozen lovers, but I am his only wife," Danny contradicted.
"Interesting, but not enough" the other one resigned.
Danny raised an eyebrow.
"So?" she said.
"There is always the king of the north," she said.
"Robb Stark, he's already married," Danny said.
"AND? Don't tell me she's jealous too? "She asked.
Daenerys raised an eyebrow.
"I don't know Talisa personally, I've only heard good things, but equally the kingdom of Valyria has no say in who Robb Stark marries, or who she puts in his bed," Danny clarified.
"Do you want to negotiate, Queen Daenerys? Then give me something to do it with?" she said.
Danny nodded.
"Very well...I will see how I can convince the king, but I must warn you, I highly doubt that you can marry the king of the north, but it is equally possible to find a high Lord with sufficient renown, let's say one of the king's advisors, someone with one of the cities of Valyria in their control, at least, of course the king of the north will have to accept, after all, you will be his hostage after the war " she said.
"And in exchange?" Arianne asked.
Daenerys smiled at her.
And she sighed.
"I will talk to the nobles, whoever the new lord is will have their support, as long as it is of course one of my brothers," she said.
"Oh, but then it wouldn't be a negotiation, princess, after all, the Martells don't sacrifice anything, putting you as queen or the wife of a high Lord who is advisor to the king of Valyria, and Sunspear," she said.
"So Queen Daenerys, what do you want?"

"Well?" said a hooded man in a tavern on King's Landing.
"Just as we think, the iron bank negotiated the death of the king," said his companion.
"Perfect, now there is proof, I can send Valyria to eliminate our enemies from the iron bank," said the man.
"Understood, I will send the order immediately, Mr. Pyp."
[T/N: YES! And does this mean it was JON?!!!?]
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jon watched the ships begin to set sail, it was time to end everything.
Menique approached him.
"Lord Baelish," the man said.
"it was taken," he clarified.
Jon nodded.
"Okay, now they have no way to get support," he said.
"Shall I send orders to Gray Worm?" asked one of his men.
Jon nodded.
"Don't attack yet, wait until the entire army is there " Jon finished.
Jon waited for him to leave.
"I guess it's all over now, just a little more…Sansa will be happy about that," he muttered.
"Regarding the saint, I haven't had the pleasure of meeting her yet. She is single, right?" Menique asked.
"For the moment, though I plan for her to marry Prince Quentyn and take over Dorne," he said.
Menique lost his smile.
"Is something wrong, Lord Baelish?" he asked.
"Oh nothing, I'm surprised by the decision, I had thought that they would eliminate the Martells, and put in a loyal family," he said.
"Loyal? More than my sister? Oh you think Quentyn will have more power, it won't be like that, Sansa will have full support from her followers, Valyria, and the north," he said.
Menique nodded.
"Well, I'm leaving, I think my work here is finished," he said.
Jon nodded.
"I wish you a good trip," Jon finished and watched him leave.
A smile appeared on his face when he saw it.
"You smell like a traitor, you talk like a traitor, you move like a traitor...Your time is running out Menique" he whispered.
"Jon?" he heard.
Grenn approached.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"News from King's Landing," he said.
Jon took the note he offered.
He raised an eyebrow. And looked at his friend.
"Do it"

Jaime looks at the army concentrated on the outskirts of the rock, he only has food for a few days.
"So it's over," he heard Kevan.
"Not yet," he said.
"Do you see the army outside?" His uncle asked.
The boy smiled.
"I see it, but my brother gave me a choice," he said.
"Surrender?" he asked.
"Of course, that's what he wants, but he gave me another option without the others knowing," he said.
Kevan looked at him curiously.
"He reminded me of the whores he used to bring, or more precisely where he brought them," he said.
"What do you mean?" Kevan asked.
"To avoid Father, Tyrion changed the schemes of the rock, in the repairs of the sewers, there is a way out, when Robb Stark destroys the doors he will concentrate his men at the entrance of the rock, we will have a ship waiting there," he said.
"We had such a weakness and you didn't say anything?" His uncle said incredulously.
Jaime shrugged.
"I forgot," he said with a smile.
Kevan sighed and looked at him.
"If this works, one of us will have to attract Robb Stark," said his uncle.
"Yes, I'll stay," he said.
Kevan denied.
"No, I'll do it, they need you at King's Landing," he said.
"We still have time, you must say goodbye to your aunt," he said.

Arthur looked at the military fields of Valyria with satisfaction.
"Hello, handsome," he heard and he saw Mary, former leader of the bee company, and now his wife.
He raised his eyebrow when he saw her.
"Did something happen? " he asked.
"Pyp," she said and handed him a note.
Arthur read it and laughed.
"Oh finally some fighting, when I went to Westeros, I thought it would be fun, but Queen Daenerys had to send me back," he said.
"You can't blame her, after all, we don't want her to annihilate the seven kingdoms, Braves should do for now," she said.
The man smiled.
"So those bureaucrats from the iron bank don't understand the rules of Valyria, and they are making an attempt on the king's life... By the gods, why did it take them so long? " he muttered.
His wife raised an eyebrow when she heard him.
"Don't get excited, the plans are to secretly eliminate, not massacre," she said.
"Plans change," he said with a malicious smile.
His wife sighed.
"Ready?" he asked.
Mary smiled.
"Ready?" she asked.
"Yes, I'm very smart," he joked.
She hit him.
"I'm serious, you're not going to ruin this, are you?" she said.
Arthur looked at her offended.
"Ruin it? I? How would I screw this up?… I'm amazing"
