Chereads / Game of thrones: The Red lion / Chapter 9 - Chapter 8: Training

Chapter 9 - Chapter 8: Training

The rise of king's wood brotherhood doesn't help matters either, with them harrassing the local nobles and trade within the Crownlands and Stormland. My father had sent out a small force to destroy the Brotherhood after they kidnapped Lady Jeyne Swann, resulting in their destruction as well as knighting of my brother Jamie Lannister, at which Tyrion and I were proud of.

A Royal wedding occurred, which Tyrion and I weren't able to go to, between Prince Raeghar and Princess Elia Martell, and from that wedding Princess Rhaenys Targaryen was born. It was also been confirmed by Grandmaester Pycelle that Ellia Martell is expecting another royal child.

As for where I am, I'm still stuck in Casterly Rock doing my 'duty' as my uncle so eloquently put it. When I asked him I wanted to leave the Rock. After exploring the whole castle as well as reading all intresting books a year ago it does get very boring.

Today my lessons consisted of swordmanship and you could tell I was 'learning' well due to my haggard and tired appearance.

"Let's end the lesson here" Ser Rylen Algood calls out, stopping spar between me and Ser Ilyn Payne.

I wasn't a prodigy with a sword like Jamie, but I was definitely getting better. Some of you might be wondering why I was sparring with Ilyn Payne, that's because due to having his tongue torn out with pincers he has been deemed unfit to be the captain of my Father's guards, Ser Rylen thought he could be put to better use as my sparring partner.

Ser Rylen would always watch us spar and then comment on what I was doing wrong and how to improve, most likely because Ser Ilyn can't talk.

Ser Rylen walks upto me with a bucket of water and towel, "You look exhausted" he comments, to which I reply "I am".

"Good, that means you are learning", I sat down whilst simultaneously shaking my head at his occasional bursts of wisdom- filled quotes.

House Algood has served House Lannister for years, as steward,knight and advisors. It is said that the first member of House Algood was cousin to Lann 'the clever' and it is due to him that House Algood has their position.

Ser Rylen Algood is steward of Casterly Rock and a good friend and advisor of Tywin. He is a veteran of the war of ninepenny kings and half-a-hundred other battles. Whilst his senior age caught upto his martial ability, It has not filled the man's intelligence.

Unfortunately he will become the last member of House Algood in near future, After his eldest son died from illness and youngest son from high fall. But now I am here, the future will change for House Algood.

As we both sit down and he shares his opinion on the spar Maester Creylen walks out into the courtyard " A raven came from kings Landing", handing to Ser Rylen I catch a glimpse of the seal on the wax, a lion.

After reading the letter Ser Rylen turned to me, "It would seem that king has elevated your brother into kingsguard, Your Father has also resigned as Hand of the King and is coming back to Casterly Rock with your sister , no doubt he is furious".

I just sit there in silence, contemplating the fact that within the few months the Rebellion would began.
