Bab 217: Chapter 217: Kidnapping Joffrey

As for Bran, who saw his mother's death and was crying as Hodor carried him, he finally got to meet the Reed siblings and went on his way North to find the three-eyed raven.

While the situation did not look good in the North, the situation in the south was also complicated because of Rob Stark's havoc in Westerlands and Aegon Targaryen, who was attacking the ships in the Blackwater Bay and was preparing to attack King's Landing.

But Tyrion, who returned to King's Landing and took his father's position until he returned, saw the danger they were in if they did not have any ally in Westeros. He would like to have Edward as his ally since he knew that Edward was the strongest, but he knew that was impossible anymore and could only look for someone else.

After thinking about House Tyrell and House Martel, Tyrion could only shake his head because he knew that he had no chance to strike an alliance with those two because of their relationship with Edward. The North and Riverlands were out of his reach because of the already ongoing war between the two sides.

The iron islands were also an unpredictable choice, and Tyrion could never let his niece go to that place. In the end, he could only look in the Eyrie's direction.

Although Petyr Baelish had confirmed The Vale's allegiance to the crown, Tyrion did not trust a word he said, so he chose the Vale at the end, or he did not have any other choice but The Vale. He decided to send his niece, Myrcella, to the Vale to become the young Robin's fiancee.

Although Petyr was angry to hear that decision because he thought that might get the things out of his hands, his mind worked very hard at that time and thought of using Myrcella to his advantage against the Lannisters since the Vale was in his grasp after all. He only had to think of a way to take Sansa with him before leaving the city.

As for Cersei, you all could imagine how she acted at that time. She wanted nothing more than killing Tyrion for trying to kill her daughter by sending her to the bitch, Lysa Arryn, who wanted nothing more than killing all the Lannister.

A month after what happened in Winterfell, it was finally the time to ship the young Myrcella away, and everyone went to the docks to say their farewell. Myrcella was crying and asking her mother not to send her because she wanted to stay with her. In the end, Cersei had to steal her heart and go on with what Tyrion decided.

After the group sent Myrcella away, the riot still happened in this timeline. This thing would not have changed because King's Landing was in a much worse situation than the other timeline. But Edward's men waited for this riot to happen since Edward gave them the orders to take two people out.

And the group managed to do what Edward ordered. Not only did they rescue Sansa Stark and took her out of the city, but they also managed to kidnap the cunt, Joffrey. After taking the two out of King's Landing, they took them to Storm's Eye to wait for Edward's return.

You can imagine what would happen in King's Landing when the king disappeared. Plus, Joffrey was not any king, but he was Cersei's son. That made the matter much worse, especially for the Smallfolks living in the city.

Everyone got implicated by what happened in the city. The Lannister soldiers would kill anyone that had the slightest relationship with what happened in the streets. They did not leave a stone without checking if it had Joffrey inside.

Cersei's heart got torn apart after Joffrey disappeared, and she hated Tyrion more and more because of this and thought that he had something to do with this.

She did not lose one child, but two on the same day, making her heart bleed like a river. Only the young Tommen remained by her side, and she became very protective of him that she did not allow him to go outside his room.

Cersei insisted that Tyrion was the one responsible for everything that happened to her children and started to think of a way to kill her younger brother, Tyrion, without giving him a chance to explain himself. She was sure in her mind that he was the one who did that.

Cersei's mind could not think of anyone else after losing two children at the same time. Although she came up with that Edward might be the one behind this, she dismissed this idea, or her hatred for Tyrion and the loss of her children clouded her judgment. She thought that Tyrion might have helped Edward do something like that since Edward only accepted and befriended Tyrion from House Lannister.

Cersei's plan this time would not be like the original timeline. Cersei was determined to kill Tyrion without failing this time. She had lost two children in one day, and she would take revenge against the reason behind that. She forgot about Sansa or did not care about her since she had much more important things to take care of than this little bitch.

Joffrey's disappearance made everyone make their move against the Lannister. Rob Stark from the North started attacking the Lannister again with whatever soldiers he had, but he got defeated this time and had to retreat.

As for Tywin, who won for the first time in his war against the North, he wanted to pursue Rob Stark and kill him to end this war, but a letter arrived at his hands, which stopped him from doing that.

Aegon Targaryen finally started to move and gathered all his ships to launch his attack on King's Landing. Tywin could not wait at Harrenhal anymore and had to return to save the city. But he knew that those in King's Landing had to defend it until he returned.

Tywin gathered the forty thousand men he had in Harrenhal and moved south towards King's Landing. The Westerlands' armies were in much trouble these days. Not only did they lost more than twenty-five thousand men in the war with the North making it difficult for them to hold what they had.

Tywin thought that he could not continue like that, or everything would end without getting anything in return. He had to think of a way to turn the tables and get rid of Rob Stark as fast as he could. Edward would return soon, and he would not have the time nor the armies to fight him, so getting rid of Rob Stark and the imposter naming himself Aegon Targaryen.
