บท 7: Chapter 06: "Lannisters Arrival"
258 AC: The Crossing
An entourage of knights and sell-swords surrounding a carriage moved along the muddy road towards the Crossing, the seat of House Frey. The men and carriage clearly bore the banners of House Lannister, the Warden of the West.
Inside the carriage, sat Tywin Lannister and his sister, the Frey to be, the three and ten name days old Genna Lannister, who despite being young, was well-developed and womanly. Tywin, sat opposite her, staring at her face in search of any unpleasant feelings that he was sure that she must be feeling. Tywin, having opposed this union in the first place, but unfortunately, he held no power to influence this matter, this frustrated him as he was a man, well a boy, who much like his future self, needed to be in control. "Genna..." Tywin says before trailing off, because while he cared for his sister, his nature made him unable to express his feelings truly.
"Tywin, I know your concerns, but this union made by father is a forgone issue, I will do my duty." says Genna, as she does her best to hide her own dissatisfaction. Both Lannister siblings did not hold a positive image of House Frey, while they understood how they rose to power and that they hold one of the most valuable seats in Westeros, strategically. The Freys had quite the negative reputation and also had numerous rumors.
"I see." Tywin nods coolly, yet he was still determined to intimidate House Frey in order to express his dissatisfaction with this arrangement. This is the reason why he brought just over 100 knights in gear funded by Lannister gold and another 50 sell-swords. As if what they say about the Freys were true, the cowardly bunch should be in the very least think twice before mistreating Genna Lannister. 'I would like to see how Lord Frey reacts to our knights.' Tywin thought smugly, after all despite all his brilliance and coldness, Tywin at this time was still just a 16-year old boy, a far cry from his future self.
At this time, as knock came from the carriage door, as the vehicle came to a halt. "My Lord, we have arrived at the Crossing." came the voice of a knight to inform them of their arrival.
"There seems to be a welcome party coming towards us my lord." the knight added as he saw a group of 25 men ride towards them.
"I see." Tywin then stands up and gets out of the carriage, as no matter how much Tywin disliked the Freys, you still need to show aristocratic courtesy. Tywin then walks forward, towards the front of the entourage, with all the surrounding men making way. Tywin then finally saw the group that was approaching them, there were three men riding in front, leading the way, but what really captured his attention was the knights accompanying them. Tywin blinked in astonishment, as he gazes at twenty or so giant knights on horseback, clad head to toe in gorgeous plated armor. Each of them possessing robust physiques that the armor could not hide. Now, Tywin as the next Lord of House Lannister have met his fair share of knights, including Ser Duncan the Tall, a mighty knight in his own right. Yet these twenty knights all seemed to be on par with Ser Duncan, at least in height. It was practically unheard of to see so many towering warriors in Westeros, or even all of the realm. With only niche places like in the north, such as the Last Hearth, the seat of House Umber, would you be lucky enough to see a few men of this stature. Of course, Tywin quickly snapped out of his stupor, as the three leading men dismounted only a few meters from himself. The three men were not tall compared to the knights, one was even quite short, but Tywin immediately recognized the short man, as he was Emmon Frey, the second son of Lord Frey, and his sister's husband to be.
"Lord Tywin, I, Stevron Frey and my brothers Emmon and Aenys Frey come to give our greetings and provide you and your entourage with guest rights." says the leader of the three men, who identified himself as Stevron Frey, the heir to House Frey.
"Well met Lord Stevron." Tywin acknowledges, as he turns his attention away from Emmon. He then moves forward and graciously accepts the bread and salt to complete the custom.
"My Lord Father awaits you and your lovely sister, your men and horses will be taken care of, watered and fed." Stevron states as he invites Tywin and his sister. Genna overhearing this, beats Tywin to it and says.
"Thank you Lord Stevron, it would now be not right to keep Lord Frey waiting."
Stevron while a little surprised at Genna's forwardness, was not dissatisfied, as it made his job easier. He nods and gestures the Lannister group to head into the Crossings gates.
Tywin's mind all the while raced, as the sight of the twenty knights surprised him greatly, because it contradicted all of what he had known about the Frey knights. As the group crossed the gates, the Lannister entourage, Tywin included became a bit scared, as all along the walls and walking around were these giant knights standing guard or patrolling, there were just so many of them.
"This way Lord Tywin, Lady Genna." as Stevron leads the way to greet his Lord Father. Aenys and Emmon, all the while remained quiet, just silently following Stevron's lead. Tywin nods, as he and Genna follow Stevron towards what seems to be the main hall. Along the corridor, tens of the same giant knights stood proudly, like iron guardians that protected these halls. As they approached the hall doors, the two knights standing guard opened the doors with terrible synchronization, seeming to move the exact same way.
258 AC: The Crossing; Main Hall
As the group entered the hall, their attention immediately centered on the behemoth of a man sitting on his large oak seat, or more appropriately, throne. The seat was designed to show House Frey's symbol, by incorporating the two towers into the armrests. A gorgeous white pelt of a huge polar bear lay on the seat, with it's head beneath the man's feet. This man was of course, Walder Frey.
Tywin and Genna could not help it, as their breaths hitched and a trembling sensation coursed through them, as just like how beasts can recognize a superior member of their species, their bodies screamed at them that this man was dangerous. Their bodies instinctively wanted to kneel, yet the two Lannister siblings were able to battle this feeling with their rational minds and will, despite trembling legs.
'Hahahahaha they look like they will piss themselves.' Walder laughed inwardly, as today he had arranged everything in order to scare the young boy Tywin. As for why? Does Walder need a real reason to prank and create a lasting impression in the Great Lion of the Rock? Walder had specifically wore a dark blue and silvery-grey robes that showed a large part of his impeccable physique, and held his valyrian steel spear, Mendax in hand to create a warlord-like oppression. Reyanna had positioned herself right behind Walder's throne, while Perriane sat in her seat, with the rest of the Frey children at the side. The whole hall now looks like a throne room, with Walder in the center and his children seated along a curved seating arrangement like a U.
'H.h..he isn't anything like the rumors!' Tywin screams in his mind as every description, report and rumor about Walder Frey were proved completely false.
'Where is the scrawny, weasel-looking man that the rumors said!!!'
'O...ooohhhh byyyyyy the Seveeeeeennnnnnnn!!! How can there be a man like this!' was all that Genna was thinking, as she had never seen a man such as Walder. In her impression, men were generally pathetic creatures, with few exceptions. Even her brother, Tywin who she held in high regard, had moments in which she considered pitifully dumb. Yet, this man, with his appearance and aura alone, made her have no doubt in her mind that he was someone of incredible prowess.
"Lord Father, I introduce to you, Lord Tywin Lannister and Lady Genna Lannister." as Stevron bows, and heads to his seat along with his brothers, leaving Tywin and Genna infront of their father.
"Aye son." Walder gestures to Stevron his acknowledgement, before turning his gaze to study the Lannister siblings properly and casting [INSPECT]. Tywin is a tall, slender, yet broad-shouldered man despite his youth. His arms are thin but muscled, showing his training. While, Genna was quite tall for a girl, and had a mature and well-endowed figure despite her young age. She was a beauty indeed.
