Chapter Twenty One : Masters Of Spies

     A Ice Dragon meets A Master Of Spies ( a few days later)

Lord Varys opened the doors to the royal gardens, not caring about the derisive remarks some of the nobles gave him. He was used to insults; eunuchs like himself had been the target of such treatment for eons. He couid hear laughter coming from one of his shaded parts of the greenery, finding the ladies he had meant to converse with.

He stood behind a pillar watching the two best friend walking around the gardens chatting with one another.

"How is Arya?" Samara spoke up.

"Unusually subdued. Somehow, Sansa had knocked some sense into her." Lyarra replied.

"Indeed. Your sister has a way with words." Samara mumbled.

"So do you." Lyarra resorted back.

" How, are you and Lord Jaime " Samara asked curiously she knew that Lya had decided to give the golden lion knight another chance which worried the sorceress a man like Jaime Lannister couldn't be trusted.

" Fine, I guess I mean he says he wants to give us a try but I haven't seen him in few days probably with you know how " Lyarra muttered.

The sorceress didn't trust the golden lannister knight  but this was Lyarra's life she was talking about. She could not just control her friend because her relationship with Jon fell out of the Wall.

" You can't trust him you know " Samara whispered.

" I know but maybe one day I can " Lyarra signed.

" Lya, I don't want to try to control you or anything but you should be very careful around Ser Jaime he's a man without honor, oathbreaker he drove his sword into a king he was assigned to protect he may do the same to you " Samara exclaimed.

" The King was mad Samara he burnt my uncle Brandon and grandfather Rickon then had his own pregnant daughter beaten to death and would rape his wife every night I've heard the stories of his cruelty, Jaime was right to kill him he would've done more destruction if he hadn't been put down " Lyarra pointed out.

" I know but it doesn't make it right, an oath is still an oath " Samara mumbled.

As Varys was listening more into the conversation he knew why Jaime Lannister had killed the Mad king the man was stark mad and would've set the whole city with wildfire.

Aerys had hidden barrels of Wildfire under the red keep, the septa balor everywhere he would've burn everyone of his citizens alone, he always imagined himself reborn in fire as a dragon.

Now looking at the young ice dragon he knew exactly who she was, she was the only daughter of Brandon Stark and Shaena Targaryen the last Targaryen in westeros.

The girl took after both of her parents respectfully, she was beautiful, gentle and kind as her mother while wild, fierce and brave as her father a true Stark and Targaryen.

She didn't have any of the targaryen madness in her as most Targaryen, madness ran a lot in the Targaryen bloodline mostly due to incest but the girl was half targaryen, half stark half and half

He didnt have to worry much about the girl seeing as she took after her mother Princess Shaena, the princess was nothing like her father neither was the prince the two landed on the right side of the coin.

The master of spies finally decided to make his presence known to the two ladies, he made their way over to them silently.

" Lady Lyarra, Lady Samara it's nice to finally put a face to the famous ice wolf and the famous fighter of the north " Varys said causing the two friend to turn around.

" Um, Im sorry but who are you " Lyarra asked.

" This is Lord Varys the master of spies he's a member on the honour council " Samara answered.

" My reputation proceeds me " Varys hummed.

" May, I accompany you two around the gardens " Varys asked laying out his arms.

" We would love that " Lyarra smiled before gently linking arms with his, Samara doing the same.

The three walked in silence, " Tell, me how are you liking King's Landing so far my ladies " Varys spoke up.

" It's a truly beautiful city " Lyarra answered.

" Quite busy " Samara mumbled.

" That's the capital for you " Varys chuckled softly.

" How long have you been on the honor council my lord " Lyarra questioned.

" For a long time my lady I serve Aerys Targaryen when I was about 20 nameday old and have been on the council since " Varys responded.

" Have you ever thought of having a wife or children of your own my lord " Samara pipe up curiously.

" I am a eunuch my lady no higborn lady or woman would've ever wish to be wed to me " Varys exclaimed.

" I am sure any woman would be lucky to have you, beauty comes from inside of you not on the outside " Lyarra reminded him.

" You are quite a gentle soul my lady the south would do well with more people like you, the people truly need a strong leader  " Varys commented.

" About the people I see that they aren't properly cared for especially the children is there any way that crown could donate some food and clothing for them " Lyarra spoke up wanting to do something about the people's poor living conditions.

" Unfortunately, my lady the crown is in debt a lot " Varys inquired.

" Oh, I understand" Lyarra nodded.

" In debt I don't understand I thought the crown had many expenses " Samara said.

" They do but The King has used it on tourneys,  jousts, feasts, the royal army and mostly importantly wine " Varys explained.

" But, I am quite certainly the crown could spare a few if I put in a good word to the king, " Varys said.

" That would be lovely thank you " Lyarra smiled beamily.

" I am happy to help my lady I am loyal to the people and want the best for them just as you do " Varys states knowing he was loyal to the realm and what was good for the realm.

As the three contuined to walk they soon bumped into Lord Baelish who stared at them with a smirkish smile.

" Lord Varys, Lady Lyarra, Lady Samara how lovely it is to see familiar and new faces " Lord Baelish said.

" Lord Baelish " Varys greeted with a tight smile he knew that the man was up to something the man was known for creating chaos and destruction anywhere he goes.

" Lord Varys " Lord Baelish greeted with a fake smile before turning his attention on the little ice wolf of the north she was quite beautiful even more beautiful than the Queen would say through she resembles no of Catelyn in her she took mostly after her father.

" Lady Lyarra it's finally good to meet you and put a face to the future lady Lannister tell me are you excited about your upcoming marriage to Ser Jaime " Baelish inquired.

" I am delightful and honored to be engaged to Ser Jaime " Lyarra said smiling fakely she knew exactly what kind of man Lord Baelish was Samara had taught her southern politics and warned her to be wearily of Lord Baelish he was no friend to anyone expect himself.

Like most lords and nobles he carved power and he would so whatever it took to get, he was a bit of a troublemaker to be honest.

" I am sure Ser Jaime is quite happy about the news as well he hasn't had a woman in years some say " Lord Baelish smirked.

" I hope to be a good wife to him " Lyarra states.

" Of course you do all of you Starks are quite dutiful " Lord Baelish mumbled.

" If you excuse us  Lord Baelish we must be getting back now " Samara spoke up knowing it wouldn't do well to stay in the man's presence anymore.

" Of course, I look forwarded to see more of you Lady Lyarra in the upcoming days " Lord Baelish exclaimed.

Lyarra smiled and linked arms with Samara the two left the gardens not noticing a pair of green eyes from nearby followed their eye move

                     Meanwhile

Jaime stood above on the balcony from his chambers which had a good view of the gardens below he watched as his little ice wolf was strolled around with that wrench servant of hers they were speaking to Lord Varys about something he couldn't make out.

Then he saw Lord Baelish make his way toward them no doubt telling his future wife lies about him.

For the last few days he had spent all his time with his sweet sister knowing it may be the last time he do.

When he wedded his little ice wolf of a bride he intended to remain loyal to her and only her.

She would be his only he wouldn't have to share her with any man like he had to share Cersei with Robert.

He could finally have a family of his own though his sister claims she and her children are his family but they were never his children only from his seed.

He knew nothing about the three children that came from his seed, Cersei never allowed him to hold them claiming it would raise suspicion.

His little ice wolf would give him trueborn children, children that he can call his own and wouldn't have to hide as a secret.

Jaime envisioned having a herb of children to fill the rock with his father wanted the same he longed for more grandchildren to carry on the Lannister name.

Lady Catelyn gave birth to 6 children, 3 sons and 3 girls, he had no doubt that Lyarra would inherit her mother's fertilensss.

He would be gentle and kind to her he wouldn't be like the mad king who would rape his wife every night.

Jaime remembered being station outside the king and queen chamber along with Ser Arthur and Ser Barristean, he had heard Queen Rhaella begging Aerys to stop but he just laughed madly.

He spoke up about how king guards are supposed to keep the Queen safe but Ser Arthur had corrected him on that they were supposed to protect the queen from anyone else but the king.

He often had nightmares about it and hated himself for not doing anything about it, he just stood there.

He had done the same when he watched Aerys beat his heavily pregnant daughter Shaena who had came to the capital begging her father to spare her husband and good father lives.

But Aerys had just laughed in her face and made her watch it happened after wards having his King's guard beat her before sending her away on dragon stone with her mother Rhaella and brother Viserys.

But it was said The young dragon princess died giving birth to a still born daughter along with Queen Rhaella who gave birth to healthy girl named Daenerys who had escapes with her brother Viserys and was in exile across the sea.

.

During that time, there was a prophecy going on about how princess of ice and fire would be born and later on be reborn into ice and fire that person would be the most powerful person in the seven kingdoms and have the ability to control winter and fire.

Aerys had obsessed over the prophecy as well as Prince Rhaegar but at last the prophecy never came to be.

But what the golden knight lion didn't know is that the prophecy had came to pass and his future was special and down the road would become who she was destined to be the princess of ice and fire.
