Robb Stark saw what Jamie Lannister did and jumped towards him but once again he froze and couldn't move because of the system's restrictions.

"First you tried to kill my brother now you want to kill my father too." Robb Stark shouted but he couldn't move.

"Leave it Robb you can't attack him here, take a break and cool down" Jon Snow said as he pulled Robb back.

"Why aren't you angry? He tried to kill father?" Robb Stark shouted at his brother.

"And what can I do if I get angry? We can't fight here did you forget that we freeze if we try to get violent. Anger isn't going to help in this situation Robb. Take a break and calm down at least that's what I am going to do" Jon said as he stood up and walked towards the door and walked out not looking back.

Jamie stared at the two sons of Ned Stark than turned towards him and said "What happened to not judging someone for their future crimes? Or is it reserved for the dumb decisions your wife makes that jeopardize the safety of your family?"

"We will be taking a break" Jon Arryn declared calmly. "Ned, Robert, you are both coming with me."

Jon Arryn walked and the two followed. And following those two went Catelyn, Brandon, Lyanna, Renly and Stannis.

"Boys" Joanna Lannister spoke sternly before she too began to walk, followed by both of her sons.

Robb decided to find his brother and discuss what they have seen till now and decided to invite Maragary and Daenerys as well.

"Elia-"

"Jon Snow is the last person you should be afraid of here" the woman huffed softly. Then she turned to her brothers. "I wish to talk to you two as well."

Doran nodded and Elia led the way, Oberyn pushing the chair with Doran sitting in it to follow her.

**With Jon Arryn and Group**

Everyone present was tense the moment they'd walked into the chambers Jon Arryn resided in, so much like his old chamber from the Vale. It brought back a lot of good memories for the old man.

But reminiscing was off the table for now.

"Daenerys Targaryen," Jon Arryn said evenly.

"Needs to die" Robert said with venom in his voice.

"Why?"

"You heard why, Jon! If the girl births a boy then there'd be war! People will flock to her and her horde of Dothrakis!"

"Do you believe it? Or do you wish for that to be the case so you might justify killing more Targaryens?"

Robert's face reddened in anger. Jon's eyes turned cold and detached.

"Do not make that face with me, boy" Jon snapped, the tone very reminiscent of the one he used during Robert and Ned's fostering days when either of them did something to displease him.

Robert and Ned both flinched.

"The Dothraki are only a threat the moment they cross the narrow sea. And they will do no such thing unless we instigate something" Jon said calm and cold. "Daenerys Targaryen lost all credibility the moment she was married off to a Horse Lord savage. She is not a threat to any of us and don't forget she now has a dragon to protect her." A pause, "Viserys Targaryen on the other hand is. He is wild, problematic and unpredictable. Killing him is necessary."

The room murmured their consent.

"And Ned, I taught you better than this" Jon Arryn's voice was not laced with anger, but with disappointment, something far worse to Ned. "You strut around the capital expecting that since you are the Hand and the King is your friend, things will work how you wish it. That people will act how you wish them to act. The capital does not work like that. You need to play around with these men, work like them to your advantage and not expect them to work like you. Honour is a concept lost in the viper pit called the capital. Honour does nothing to run a kingdom no matter how much you try. Not even Jaehaerys Targaryen I managed to do so."

Ned kept his head down and hand fisted.

"After all of this is over, I wish to bring Daenerys back to Westeros Jon raised a hand at Robert's look of protest. "With Viserys dead, Daenerys will be the one all eyes turn to. Before she marries some Horse Lord, it would be better if we could marry her to Joffrey. That would tie the Targaryen loyalists to us."

"She's a fucking Targaryen!" Robert fumed.

"She is a fucking Targaryen" Jon agreed evenly. "Have you forgotten your Targaryen grandmother? The one reason why you sit on the throne today?"

Robert clamped his mouth shut.

"Why are the rest of you here?" Jon now turned to the rest who had followed him.

"Support," Catelyn said softly, the look Jon Arryn pinned on her making her nervous.

"And things we needed to discuss as well," Stannis said stiffly. "I believe it's time we discuss the elephant in the room."

"Stannis, our brother is not so fat you would call him an elephant" Renly joked to lighten the mood. It had no effect.

"Which would be?" Jon Arryn questioned.

"The Council and the Lannisters."

**The Lannisters**

"Every time I think you can't do anything more stupid, you exceed my expectations!"

"I aim to please-"

"Shut up! I have heard enough snark and smart remarks."

It had been a long time since Jaime felt this exposed and vulnerable in his life. Or at least not for a long time.

"Respectfully, Mother, you are dead. You have no place to talk about how we behave and talk to others Tyrion said lightly.

"Oh? Is that so? Because I think I am the only one who has a place to talk about these things with you both because the one parent that is alive hasn't given two shits about what our children have been up to!"

Joanna took a deep breath and turned to Jaime.

"Catelyn Sark kidnapped your brother, but it gives you no right to harm a Lord of an Ancient and Powerful House, a Warden of the Seven Kingdoms at that. What you did can incite war, a war that you will not win if the North rallies their allies and your enemies. Because from all I have seen so far, House Lannister has only made enemies since my death!"

"Mother-"

"No doubt you took a page out of your father's book for this. The Rains of Castamere" she spat. "Your father will attack the Riverlands no doubt in retaliation for Tyrion's kidnapping."

"He doesn't care for me enough to do that" Tyrion scoffed.

"He won't do it because he cares for you, he'll do it because he cares for the legacy of House Lannister. Because that is all that he cares about!"

Joanna took another deep breath.

"Your father and Cersei are not here, meaning their fates are not important to the one that wishes for you to change the outcome of the future. No doubt the King will execute your sister for fucking you and passing bastards as legitimate Baratheon heirs. And your father will be found dead of some ailment" She paused to even out her shaking breath. "On the chance you are released from your vows as a Kingsguard, you will renounce your claim as Lord of Casterly Rock and name Tyrion as your replacement. The gods have given all the brains of a Lannister to Tyrion it seems her eyes turned to her youngest. "You will naturalise Myrcella and Tommen and raise them to be better Lannisters than your father and siblings were. Tommen will be your heir and Myrcella will bring you an alliance outside of the West. Perhaps one North to mend old wounds or the Vale even."

"And Joffrey?" Jaime asked.

"Do you see Joffrey here?" Joanna raised a brow. "He isn't important either."

"I understand Mother" Tyrion nodded.

Joanna stood and stormed out of the room.

"Mother is... something" Tyrion turned to his brother and blinked."Are you crying?"

"Shut up."
