Chapter Text
“Now who are the Lord Paramounts and theirs heirs?”
”Eddard Stark and Robb Stark, Mace Tyrell and Willa’s, Renly Baratheon he doesn’t have a heir, Jon Arryn and Robert Arryn, Doren martell and uh…his daughter Arianne, and Hoster Tully and Edmure Tully”
“Very good Jon”
“Thank you grandfather”
“Now tell me, who is tied to house Lannister” Tywin asked. “Should we be at war who would come to our aid”
”House Stark from my mother, House Baratheon since Aunt Cersei is married to King Robert” Jon said
“Good Jon, but your also forgetting about who those houses are also tied to.”
“What do you mean grandfather?”
“Tell me Jon what ties house together?”Tywin asked his grandson.“You know this answer we went over it a week ago”
“Marriage?” Jon asked
“Yes now who are those houses married into?” Tywin said with a smirk forming on his lips that was gone as quickly as it appeared.
”Umm….Uncle Ned married Aunt Catelyn and she was a Tully so the Riverland's and her sister married Jon Arryn so the Vale right?” Jon said hopefully
”You are correct Jon”
Jon smiled that he got it right and was about to say something before his grandfather cut him off “Now should any of them come to House Lannisters aid if we were attacked?” Tywin asked with a raised eyebrow
“Yes” he replied confidently and with a smile.
“No”
Jon’s smile dropped confused because he didn’t understand what he said wrong or anything “I don’t understand House Stark us honor Bound to aid us because of my mother shouldn’t House Arryn and Tully do the same since there tied as well?” He asked.
Tywin looked at his grandson for a few seconds seeing his Lannister and Stark features before replying “House Stark is but Tully and Arryn are not, your mother was Lord Starks sister so he’s obligated to help you but should Lord Stark die his heir isn’t.”
“And honor is a fools errand Jon.” Tywin said “And you’re no fool, are you?”
“No but i thought it was good thing to have honor” he was confused. Tywin being able to read the confusion his grandson was showing almost smiled. “Yes it’s good but honor could get you killed, tell me your in a battle about to face a man who is a better swordsman then you which guarantee your death what would you do, would you fight him face to face and die or would you stab that man in the back while he fights another so you can go home and live?”
Jon thought for a second he understood his grandfather, he either do the honor thing and die or he stab a man in the back to come home, the more he thought the more he realized what’s stopping someone from doing that to me “I’d stab him in the back” Jon said looking his grandfather in the eyes
“And why?” Tywin replied back with a raised eyebrow.
“Because what’s to stop him from doing the same to me”
”Smart” Tywin said proudly “Always remember honor is for fools and would get you killed we are not fools are we Jon”
”No grandfather”
“Good now that’s enough for today now go meet Kevan for yo…” he started but was cut off by a guard running into the room.
“Mi’Lord the IronBorn are attacking lannisport is on fire!”
Tywin and Jon stood up Jon looking nervously while his grandfather looked well his grandfather looked pissed before he can say anything his Great Uncle Kevan walked in
“Kevan explain!” Tywin told him
“It was a surprise attack the fleet is burning and there sacking the city now, I raised the alarm and got guards rushing now”
”Good take Jon to his rooms and put 4 of our most trusted guards on his door” Tywin said to his brother walking from behind his desk
“But why do I got to stay in my rooms I should be out there too!” Jon said angrily
“You’ll do it because I said so is that understood!” Tywin said voice rising looking Jon in the eyes. “I said is that understood Jon!”
Jon not able to keep eye contact with his grandfather looked down “Yes grandfather”
”Good now go”
“Come lad” Uncle Kevan said
As they were walking Kevan started explaining why he couldn’t come “Jon your still to young lad”
“But I’m good with a sword you and grandfather both said so!” Jon replied angrily “why shouldn’t I be out there defending our home”
”your better then your father was when he was your age but we can’t focus if we are worrying for you Jon you are the heir to the west if they realize you are fighting they’ll grab you and we can’t do anything”
”I didn’t think of that Uncle” Jon said not realizing
“It’s alright lad”
they walked to his rooms and Jon couldn’t help but ask “why isn’t my father the heir”
“Because your father is still in the KingsGuard your grandfather try’s to get him released but Robert won’t have it” kevan explained as they walked up to his door
“Okay I need you to stay here do not leave okay?”
“Okay”
Time went by as Jon waited in his room he was thinking of what to do before he heard voices outside
“hey were here for guard switch”
“By whose orders?”
“Lord Lannister if it’s a problem take it up with him where here to guard the little Lord”
“why are there 6 of you?”
“Fuck This”
Jon was scared away from the door by the sound of swords unsheathing and clashing together he grab his dagger and made sure he had another hidden before he hid under the bed. It felt like hours before it was quite he thought maybe he was okay then the door opened
“We need to hurry up and grab him they’ll have heard the noise”
“How are we going to do that it’s just us three Victorian the rest are dead?!”
“He is a child we’ll knock him out and carry him” Victorian Greyjoy said “Rodrik Go take watch and you go look for him!”
”what are you gonna do?”
”see if there’s anything valuable”
as the ironborn walked around and started checking Jon started to get scared hoping wishing his father was here to help him before he could think any further he was grabbed
“let me go!” Jon yelled
“Well look what we got here a little Lord” the iron born said laughing “we got him”
“Stop playing around and grab him we need to leave now!”
He turned Jon on his stomach to tie his arms behind his back when Jon seen his dagger he started yelling and struggling when his arm got free and he grabbed it
“Quit moving you little bastard fuck this” he turned Jon over to knock him out before Jon kneed him in the balls
“Your gonna get it now you little sh…” the IronBorn said before getting stabbed in the throat by Jon, covering him in blood
Jon slowly got up shocked that he killed a man he was brought out of his shock by Victorian grabbing him from behind “Come on you little fuck!” Before putting him on his back Jon started struggling
“Let me go you asshole!” Jon yelled “My grandfather will kill you all!”
“That’s why we got you boy to keep that from happening”
At they were walking towards the door Jon remembered his hidden dagger grabbing it from his sleeve he stabbed Victorian in the back 4 times before he was dropped
Victorian Groaned before standing up “fuck the plan I’m gonna give your head to your grandfather you bitch” he screamed grabbing his sword he walked towards Jon and swung but Jon dogged and stabbed him in the gut before stabbing him in the eye killing him
Jon thinking he was safe started breathing heavily the adrenaline fading and realizing he killed 2 people, then he was punched forgetting the third before hands wrapped around his throat
“I’m gonna kill you!” Rodrik Greyjoy screamed while strangling Jon “You little fucking cunt!!”
Jon was scared he couldn’t breathe and his vision was fading he started to feel around before he felt a handle not knowing what it was he swung anyway, but it was blocked by the IronBron who grabbed it and stabbed Jon in the stomach 3 times before he could do anymore a sword came from his mouth and there stood his grandfather happily that Jon was now safe he tried to speak but before Jon can do anything he passed out passed out
