(Ellion's POV)
"My apologies." I said, bowing slightly, "Lady Joanna. I was surprised to see you, I heard that you don't leave Casterly Rock much. After the birth of Lord Tyrion, that is."
I had heard that when Tyrion Lannister was born, Lady Joanna Lannister had nearly died. She remained in her bed for months, the Maesters working hard to keep her away from death's door. But she was able to recover, not leaving the castle much.
"Well." She said, her voice gentle and warm, "Prince Viserys's Tourney is upon us. To celebrate his birth, that is. I have to be here and greet the King himself as well as Prince Rhaegar."
I nodded, "That is true."
"Your name is?" She said, looking at me as she held onto the boy's hand, "What beautiful hair you have...."
I reached for my hair, which was freshly, "Oh, thank you." I said, "I am Ellion."
"Ellion....." She said with a frown, "I believe I have heard of you."
"Good things, I hope." I said with a nervous chuckle
"Of course." She said with a smile, "Genna speaks highly of you. It is mostly because of Lord Emmon's relationship with your mentor, Ser Lyonel. Genna's husband always admired that man, fufu~ Is he around?"
"Old Lyonel passed, not too long ago. Around a year or two." I said, "It is just me. I am not sure if Lady Genna had mentioned this to you."
"Oh my." She frowned, "I am sorry to hear that. What happened?"
"The Realm happened." I said, a serious tone in my voice, "He died being a Knight, that much is enough."
"I see...." she said, "You have my condolences."
I looked at the little Tyrion, "I never thought I'd see the Little Lord himself, haha." I said with a smile, "He definitely has your hair."
"Thank you." She said with a smile, "Tyrion is the joy of my life, he's such a sweetheart."
"He'll grow up to be a fine young man, I am sure." I said
"I doubt he'd grow taller, haha." She joked, "I am jesting, Tyrion. Do not be angry at me."
The young buy looked up with a frown, "Hmm....."
I bowed slightly at her, "If you excuse me, Lady Joanna." I said, "I should not be seen speaking too much with you. I have-"
"Ahem." I heard someone say
I turned to see Tywin Lannister walking up to us, a serious look on his face. He stopped and looked at me, eyeing me up and down before looking at Joanna.
"What is the meaning of this?" He asked Joanna
"Tywin." She said with a smile, "Tyrion was running about and ran into this young man. It is nothing serious, worry not."
Tywin glanced at Tyrion, a cold look in his eyes, "Where is Jaime?" He asked, "I thought he'd come down with you and Gerion."
"He is with Gerion down at the docks." Joanna said, "He wished to see the fleet."
"Hm." Tywin looked at me, "And what business may a Bastard have, speaking freely with the Lady Lannister?"
Joanna frowned, "Tywin...."
Tywin stared me down, as if he was trying to intimidate me. But the gaze of a stuck-up prick does nothing to me; I've stared down horrors greater than a blonde dickhead whose only power was gold.
"Your son has your eyes, Lord Tywin." I said with a slight smile, "I'm sure that if the Young Lord Jaime does not inherit his Father's demeanor, the Little Lord Tyrion will do just that."
His expression hardened, "Have you gotten your gold?"
"No." I said
"Inside." His voice was cold, "You will receive it. Once your paid, leave the building and do not come back until I command you to do so."
I nodded, "Thank you for your generosity, Lord Tywin." I said, "When the King arrives, I will gladly ensure that your Family is kept safe. For I am your sister's sworn blade."
"Paid blade, make no mistake." He said, "You will take our gold and keep your mouth shut from now on."
I turned around and bowed slightly at Joanna, "My Lady." He said as I glanced at Tyrion, "Little Lord."
"I shall take my leave now."
*****************
"You're antagonizing him now?" Genna said as she fanned herself, "I can't defend you if you anger my brother, Ellion."
I shrugged as I was sitting down on the couch next to her, "I'm not going to allow him to disrespect me." I said, "I don't care who he is."
"No matter how skilled you are with the blade, you can still be executed or sent to the Wall by him." Genna said, "The only reason he doesn't do that is that he might find use for your prowess in the future. That is all. I try my best to calm him down, but it may not be enough."
We were down at the docks, inside one of the ships that her brother, Gerion, had left us in. She told him to go and take his men to the brothel and have some fun while we were left alone with Nidia attending to us. She was in another room, having a break, leaving us in the master's quarters alone.
I leaned back, "I did not expect to see Lady Joanna." I said, "You didn't tell me she was as beautiful as you in person."
"Fufu~" She laughed, "You flatter me, boy. But Joanna is far more beautiful than I am, she's the jewel of House Lannister, and her smile is our Sun."
"I can see that." I nodded
"But recently, that Sun has been faded." She said softly, "That poor woman."
I frowned, "What is it?"
"My brother." She said, "He is but a cold fuck sometimes. Ever since Tyrion was born, he's been nothing but distant with the boy. He doesn't look at him in the eye nor does he ever call his name. He avoids him the best he can."
"Because he's a dwarf?" I asked, "What a fucking asshole."
"Joanna loves the boy. She adores him to the point that Jaime and Cersei often get envious. But he is but a boy, only 3 years of age. What mother won't adore a child that young?" She said as she looked at him, "She is constantly wounded by Tywin's demeanor towards their son. She loves Tyrion and his siblings, more than anything."
"I know." I said, "That is a Mother..."
"You've never known yours, right?" She asked me
"Not really." I said, "Nor my Father. Old Lyonel told me they were dead. My Mother at least. I don't know what Lord fathered me, nor do I care to know. The only parental figure I had is dead, that Old Grouch."
"Hmm...." She said as she sat atop of me, placing her cleavage in front of me, "Do you wish for me to comfort you, my boy~?"
I immediately wrapped my arms around her plump waist, feeling her warmth press against my body as I slowly leaned my face into her breasts.
"Oh, My Lady...." I said as I rubbed her back with one hand as I groped her fat ass with the other, "Please do...."
"We're alone now~" She said with a chuckle,
"You need your reward now~"
