Chapitre 47: Enough
I was sitting on the chair, my finger drumming the wooden table with my cup of water on it making the silence even more unbearable for the opposite party.
To be truthful my head still hurt and I wanted to give myself some time to adjust to the feeling that prevented me from thinking clearly.
"So let me get things in order Lady Reyne. You came to me after her..." I pointed at Rina "...master saw your future, and I'm the best chance you have for your revenge against the Lanisters right?" Cerea confirmed with a slight nod. "But I still don't see any reason to do so My Lady. You should know that war with a great house is impossible and even if I have some ways to do so I still don't have any reason to." I would help her before as it's something that will need to be done either way but now? Fuck no! At least not without benefits.
Cerea showed her true feelings again by biting her lip. It could be real or it could be a game, no way in hell I'm going to believe it.
Thinking about my words for a moment the blond girl started speaking.
I have to add that I'm really happy for Noya being here as that Rina girl is glaring at me all the time.
The next words from Cerea's mouth made me almost spit my water.
"I can give you men, 14 000 battle hardened, loyal men from my company." now I know she is really inexperienced, no wonder the fame of the Company of the Rose sucks with a leadership like that. I assume she has more experienced people around her to manage it, as do I.
"My Lady you're jesting again!" I said loudly while laughing. "Loyal to whom? You already saw my force. I do not dare to question your men skill, but can they compare be it in equipment or logistics? Can you fill the lost men with new ones? I have about 150 000 able bodied men in fighting age on my back in this city. Give each one of them a stick and they would break your company My Lady. I did not count Dothraki or my Northern brothers and sister." I said and made her look downcast again. Her fidgeting fingers another symptom of her nervousness.
"My Lord, I can give you gold as we..." she wanted to continue and yet again was halted by me.
"Enough! Please, let's stop this here, I do not want to see you embarrass yourself anymore. Gold? You know my House. In the last quarter we made 1.4 million dragons of income without even doing anything excessive, and that's still the beginning. Can you top that My Lady?" I heard a snicker from my back. Noya must really like me torturing the girl like that.
I looked at the blond girl that was close to desperation, it's not like I felt the pleasure of being like that, but who told you to try that shit on me.
"I can give you access to each city in Disputed Lands or in Slaver's Bay with my spy network!" she looked as I sighed and shook my head. "I! I...! I can give you myself!" her red, shy face not compatible with the loud shout she used while saying it. Her eyes looking at me expectingly.
"And why would I be interested in that?" I was already bored of this conversation.
"Then stop tormenting My Lady and tell her what you want!" now that's a surprise. Rina that was standing on Cerea's side finally broke.
Unfortunately her luck is not the best as the resentment in my heart and the pain in my head still didn't pass. "You should shut your mouth when not asked when Lords and Ladies are talking." my cold, heartless and full of menace words made the temperature in the room drop. "Be happy that you still have your fucking empty head on your neck since I didn't forget about you. The difference is, will I give you to the Dothraki and their horses to ra*e before or after I ask my lovely guard here to cut your head off!" now that was a shocker for them. I will not let off anyone that tried to hurt me or mine.
It didn't have the best effect as I still have a child body and voice, but it was more than enough for them to understand my resentment.
I wanted to be nice, but thinking about their actions my blood boiled. It might be the thing they called Wolf's blood from my father family side.
"You came to My land, into My city, My house to ask for My help while proposing nothing. I gave you My hospitality and what do you do? Try to manipulate me using magic!? Be glad girl that I kept my temper in check or all of your heads would already be on spikes near the bridge to show everyone what fate awaits people like you!" I stood up and wanted to leave. The girls were too afraid to meet my eyes not even saying anything about stopping me.
Before I came up to the doors they opened.
To my joy and surprise the real Mirri entered the room with Ser Arthur and Ser Bryce in tow.
Looking at them I can already see they are aware of what happened, probably my Magi told them on the way.
They silently moved behind me where Noya was, giving her a disapproving look. Yeah... like she could stop a magic attack.
"Wise one, thank you for your earlier protection." I said and bowed lightly.
"Please stop Great One. You should not bow to us. We are here to serve..." the younger Mirri dropped on her knees and I have to say I'm starting to like her more and more. Even if she's scary as hell.
"What would you have us do with them My Lord?" Ser Bryce lost his usual goofiness and seriously looked at the ladies with his hand on his dagger.
I just wanted to get rid of the problem. I wouldn't kill the Reyne as she can be used, it can't be said about the other girl. She's too dangerous to be kept alive unchecked.
I glanced at the girls now so defenseless yet my heart was already steeled.
"Kill the witch. Keep Lady Reyne and the rest of her companions under guard. Swap them often. I don't want any of them being influenced if there are more like that one there."
I turned and moved to the door.
I could hear the pleading shouts begging for mercy from Cerea, she should've think about it before her pet came off her leash.
