31. Early

                                    

                                          



 Tywin woke to Taylor curled into him like every morning, he thought being married again would feel the same but it was very much different he was in a different place in life in the capitol and Taylor still had all the energy and life to keep him on his toes. He adored every moment with her. It had been a long time since he felt anything for anyone that was not annoyance but Taylor was different. She was little golden flower. His lips trailed along her head as her eyes fluttered open. 
There's no denying he knows his way around the plumbing. Tywin was by far the best sex Taylor ever had. It's probably not the same for him. A guy like him has probably had tons of sex with tons of beautiful women, over the years, but maybe not... Taylor didn't know what to think a man with a mouth like his was surely not sitting around alone for the past 30 years since his wife died. 
He wrapped his arm around Taylor, not wanting to leave the comfort of their bed but he knew he had to get up. Taylor objected like she always did but with the trail, things needed to get done. 
             
'I hope not all these meetings are going to be this early.' Oberyn whined 'I was up late last night... So does this mean I have a master of something now? Coins? Ships?'
'Lord Tywin and I already decided that I should be the master of ships long before you.' mace Tyrell said they all stood as Tywin came in except for Oberyn he was relaxing his foot up on the table bored out of his mind and tired, extremely tired.
'Late night as well?' Oberyn teased as Tywin came in. Tywin just stared over at him. Oberyn was already a throne in his side. Tywin sat down with a groan, he would rather be with Taylor he needed this done with, so much to prepare once again. 
'Lord Tywin, you do me the great honor of being on this council.' mace said
'All right the trial begins this afternoon.' Tywin said getting to work, 'opening statements, lets begin.'
'Sandor Clegane has been spotted in the Riverlands my Lord.' varys said
'A coward and traitor.' Cersei remarked
'My birds tell me the hand slaughtered five of our soldiers and Daenerys has taken up residence in Maureen, she has conquered the city and rules as it's queen.'
'Conquers with what?' Cersei spat.
'She conquers an army of Dothraki and unsullied from 8000 strong she has a company sell sword the second sons she has two advisors survive advising her one is jorah mormont and she has three dragons.' Varys went on.
'Baby dragons.' Cersei reminded him
'They grow larger every year.' Varys told them
'Is Mormont still spying for us?'
'No longer, he appears to be fully devoted to her as for sir Barristan it seems he took his dismissal from the kings guard a bit harder than anticipated.' Varys said
'He was an old man he was not fit to protect my son.' Cersei told them
'Joffrey didn't die on his watch.' Tywin told her 'dismissing him was as insulting as it is stupid.'
'Don't tell me you're worried about a child halfway across the world?' cersei remarked
'A child with two seasoned warriors counseling her and powerful army at her back.'
'Varys is right I have been to see the unsullied firsthand they are very impressive on the battlefield.' Oberyn told them 'less so in the bedroom.'
'Dragons have not won a war and thousands of years armies win them all the time.' Tywin said 'she must be dealt with.'
'How my lord? Her death?' the grand maester questioned.
'Eventually, it will come to that... can your little birds find their way into Meereen?"
'Most certainly my Lord.' Varys agreed
'Lord Tyrell be a good lad and fetch me my Quill and paper.' Tywin said, Mace got it proudly Oberyn watched with this taste.
    
'Prince oberyn.' varys said as oberyn approached the throne room.
'Lord varys' oberyn said bored already.
'Only varys I'm no Lord, you are under no obligation to call me so.' Varys told them modestly. 
'Yet everyone does.' Oberyn reminded him varys just shrugged in response
'You seem very knowledgeable about the unsullied did you spend much time in essos?' Varys asked Oberyn.
'Five years.' He answered. 
 'May I ask why?'
'It is a big and beautiful world most of us live and die in the same corner where we were born.  What good is it if I never get to see any of it, I don't want to be most of us'.
'Most of us are not princes...'
'You are from Essos where?? Lez?' Oberyn questioned, Varys made a face. 'I have an ear for accents.'
'I have lost my accent.' varys told him
'I have an ear for that as well. How did you get here?' Oberyn remarked. 
'It's a long story.' Varys told him stiffly. 
'And one you don't like telling people clearly.' Oberyn said with a smirk.
'People I trust.'
'My Paramore would find you very interesting' Oberyn remarked  'We have some lovely wine and some boys on retainer... But you know...' Oberyn said 'you do like boys?' Varys shook his head. 'really? Girls?' Again varys shook his head, 'you wont be offended when I say would've never guessed.' Oberyn remarked 
'Not at all.' Varys told him 'but I was never interested in girls either.'
'What then?'
'Nothing'
 'Everyone is interested in something..' Oberyn told him confidently.
'When I see what desire does to people what it does to this country, I am very glad to have no part in it. Besides the absence of desire leaves want to pursue other things.' Varys admitted. 
'Such as?' Oberyn questioned.  Varys glanced at the throne before heading out.
