Chapter Thirty Five

Aera brought Lady Margaery to Red Keep secretly by covering her face with a golden scarf, and Margaery goes along with it, she wanted to be away from that place as much as possible.

The guards almost stop them from entering the castle but Margaery shows her face and they let her in together with Aera. She was greeted by the worried face of her grandmother while Aera just stared at them while they embrace.

"Where's Loras? You promise that you will return both of them" Olenna said looking for the boy and Aera secretly rolled her eyes.

"I cannot get him out that fast, it will arouse suspicion... You know that better than I do" Aera answered and the woman just sighed.

"What's going on? How did you meet each other?" Margaery asked confused. "Lady Aera? Grandmother?"

The two looked at Margaery, seeing her confused face but none of them say anything once they notice that someone approach them. It's Cersei with Jaime and the zombie version of Gregor Clegane.

"Margaery, My dear... I'm glad you're fine" Cersei said as she hugs the girl. Margaery already knows what happened to Cersei because even in that cell, walls could talk.

Jaime's eyes darted to Aera who wanted to get away from everyone soon as possible. Cersei recognizes the girl from Joffrey's Wedding.

Aera glances at Olenna, they're both we're surprised to see Cersei in front of them. The Woman had spies everywhere, she might hear that Margaery got out from that Place.

From a few days of Freedom, Cersei manages to obtain alliances inside that place.

"Yes, Mother-in-law, a friend help me out of there." Margaery sweetly said and holding Aera's hand, she just put a death sentence on Aera's head for saying that she's the one who save her.

" You...I recognize you, I saw you at the wedding." Cersei said and Aera nodded.

" Yes, Your Grace. I'm Aera, I came from Volantis and I've been here for months now." Aera lied making Margaery glance at her, she remembers that Sansa introduce her as a northern girl.

" I just forgot to introduce Lady Aera to you, Your Grace. Her father is a friend of mine and I invited her to Margaery's wedding" Lady Olenna stated.

Jaime doesn't understand anything that's going on. He doesn't know a lot of things about Aera but for some reason, she's familiar to him, like she looks like someone he knows.

" I heard you're the reason why the High Sparrow let go of Margaery," Cersei said and a part of her is pissed off.

" I'm a friend of the High Sparrow, he only wanted what was best for our people and the Glory of our Gods," Aera said, she secretly glance to the side when she notice one of the servants of the High Sparrow.

That man has eyes everywhere, she needs to be careful. Aera smiles at Cersei who's wanted to kill her on the spot after hearing about the High Sparrow.

" Ah yes, the glory of our Gods" Cersei repeats with malice and Aera cannot let go of her smile. This is the right time for her to play with Cersei Lannister.

"You must be tired, we should take you to rest," Lady Olenna said, as much as she loves to see Aera against Cersei she needs to take care of Margaery. The three of them leave Cersei with her Kingsguard to Margaery's chamber.

"What's going on? Grandmother, since when do you have a friend from Volantis?" Margaery asked the moment she change clothes. Margaery turned to Aera who was just drinking a glass of wine. "Who really are you?"

"My dear, meet Princess Aerasanne Targaryen" Olenna introduces, Margaery's jaw drops hearing about this.

She didn't expect this.

Aera places down her cup and looks up at Margaery. "It's good to finally meet you, Margaery" Aera said getting herself comfortable from where she sat, feet away from where Olenna sat.

"Grandmother?" Margaery asked, asking for an explanation of what was going on. It was Lady Olenna who explained everything to Margaery and the alliance between them.

Much to Margaery's dismay.

"I am the Queen, I cannot bend the knee to your sister as long as Tommen is alive," Margaery said, she wanted to become a Queen but she knows the risk.

"I know, but we both know Tommen is not a ruler nor a warrior to fight a dragon" Aera stands up and walks forward toward the girl. "You're smart, Margaery. Smarter than most people I know. Sooner or later my sister's army will march to Kingslanding with gigantic Dragons. " Aera remarks.

" If a war breaks out a lot of Innocents will die, would sister allow that?" Margaery asked.

" There's always been an innocent will die, it's either from a war or from the High Lords. But you don't have to worry about them, I could take care of it" Aera secured.

" And Tommen? He's the King but he is innocent from all of this"

Aera knows that she needs a proper way to change to course of the future and how will she do that when she cannot get the Tyrells alliance?

" Tommen will forfeit the Iron Throne and see Daenerys as the rightful Queen then he will be spared, at the same time we will give you the Casterly Rock. You and your children will be the Lord and Lady of it. " Aera gave them an offer that they couldn't deny.

Olenna knows that the girl in front of her is a smart woman and she's old enough to know not to go against a dragon.

" And Cersei?" Olenna asked.

" She could die for all I care, we both know that she's been planning to eliminate everyone who goes against her and she's not smart enough as she thinks she is" Aera muttered. "For now, leave Cersei to me and beware of religious lunatics, I know he will not let Loras off easily"

"Loras, you said you could take him out," Olenna said and Aera nodded, she can but she won't. These people don't trust her and that is the reason she won't give them her full alliance as long she's not sure of their loyalty.

"I do, but I know the High Sparrow will make his move once he notices that I'm not on his side, I could take my hands on Margaery but not Loras, especially since he has this reputation. The High Sparrow would want a trial for Loras and by that he will want a Holy Alliance between the Faith and The Crown." Aera explained.

"What should we do grandmother?" Margaery asked.

"Play his game" Olenna answered.

The Alliance between Tyrell and Targaryen was made during those times and after that Aera leaves. Leaving the two alone.

"Don't make a move against the Targaryen, it will do you no good" Olenna warned Margaery.

"I want to become Queen, and I will not achieve it if Daenerys becomes Queen." Margaery sternly said and Olenna understand.

"You are Queen, but not against them."

"Maybe I could do something about Aera, made her go against Daenerys and let them fight for the Throne until nothing is left," Margaery said but Olenna shake her head.

" You can't manipulate a dragon, My dear. I tried, Do you believe in the say's that Targaryen is closer to Godd than Men? I don't know about the other Targaryen but Aera is. " Olenna said making Margaery confused, she doesn't know a lot of things about Targaryen." I give her the same thing I gave Joffrey, on that cup" Olenna pointed to the cup where Aera drinks her wine.

Margaery was surprised.

" While you rant about what's going on, I was waiting for her to drink her wine. She looked at the cup and look at me dead in the eyes, she knows. But what surprised me she drinks it anyway, and nothing happens. " Olenna explained.

" But you must have missed it"

" No, and she knows what I'm doing, don't make a move against her yet. " Olenna warned. "There are dragons above us ready to burn us alive once they feel to do it. " Olenna added.

Aera was about to leave the Red Keep when she was stopped by Cersei Lannister alone.

" Lady Aera, We don't officially meet" Cersei called out and Aera turned to the woman with a smile.

"It's good to finally meet you, Your Grace" Aera remarks and Cersei doesn't like being friends with the man who made her walk naked on the way to Red Keep.

"I heard you and Jaime met, Qyburn told me so much about you," Cersei said and Aera remembers that Ex-Maester that revive The Mountain. "The girl who came out of nowhere and save Jaime and Brienne. I'm sure you're not just a Lady from Volantis." Cersei gave her a look that she will one day strangle her with a pillow in her sleep.

"Ah yes, them. Lady Brienne is a good friend of mine while Jaime... Your Brother is a good fighter. "Aera said and start walking while Cersei walks with her.

"He is, he's always been. He's going to put down people who will tear his family apart. The people who humiliated me and their friends" There's a threat in Cersei's voice, Aera notice this right away.

"I'm sure he does, You're his sister. There's no greater good than a family's love." Aera remarks with her innocent voice. Cersei could hear the shade that Aera's throwing at her face. The golden-haired woman grabs Aera's arm tightly.

"I know who are, you're the girl that he keeps muttering when he's asleep. Just know this Jaime will never turn his way to you, be careful little bitch, you might lose that beautiful face of yours" Cersei threatened and Aera smiles at her.

" Why so jealous about it? You're the twin sister, aren't you? I'm sure the High Sparrow would love to hear our conversation. "Aera removes her arms from Cersei's grasp.

" You think I'm scared of that leech." Cersei taunt.

" Who said you are? He's not the person you should be scared about, Your Grace. If you're so insecure about your brother turning the other way better chain him to your bed, but you won't do that will you?" Aera smirked and lean closer to the woman." Because once you do, you know you lose. "

Aera walks away leaving the woman in anger state, the golden-haired woman wanted to bury Aera alive more than she wanted to torture the woman who hurt her in that prison room.

Cersei barge into the room where Jaime is." That bitch! That girl, Aera! The girl you keep moaning whenever you fall asleep! "Cersei yelled at the man who just wiping his sword with a cloth.

Jaime put aside his sword and stand up." You talked to her" he stated.

" You're not even gonna deny it"Cersei remarks." What that girl gave you that made you so obsessed with her!? Did she let you fuck her until you're both dry!? " Cersei yelled.

" Stop... Everyone could hear you!" Jaime said calming the woman." I never fuck her or even touch her" Jaime stated. Cersei knows she lost to the girl who didn't even sleep with Jaime yet the man keeps moaning her name whenever they sleep together.

" She's an enemy, Jaime. She's a friend with the High Sparrow who made me walk naked and yet your lust for her! I'm sure that little bitch whispered in his ears to do that to me! "Cersei cannot control her anger anymore so she throws the first thing she grabs.

" She didn't! She's out in Volantis during those time! " Jaime yelled back only angering the woman.

" And how would you know that!?"

" I... Cersei listens to none of those matters now, we will get our vengeance against the High Sparrow. " Jaime walks closer to the woman embracing her." Aera doesn't matter now, what matters is you, I will avenge you. " The man whispered to her ear to calm her.

He's diverting Cersei's attention away from Aera, he knows that Cersei will hurt Aera in every way possible and he doesn't know where to side.
