Chapter 55 - Reaction from All Parties (V)
"Why did the gods make incestuous creatures so beautiful and me a monster in people's eyes?" Tyrion Lannister thought as he observed the beauty of House Targaryen.
----------
Seeing the gigantic Titan of Braavos getting closer and closer, Tyrion felt completely insignificant, even more so than he usually did on a daily basis.
(Note: I had to make the joke, I couldn't help myself...)
Tyrion looked around, observing the ship he was on. As he represented a king, naturally the ship couldn't look sloppy. He was traveling on a new ship that had never touched the sea. Curiously, the ship's name was The Purity of the Princess.
"She's no longer a virgin." Tyrion joked in an amused tone, reflecting on the ship's name. However, as he looked at the guards following him, he couldn't help but let out a sigh. They were only young and immature, they had probably never seen blood in their lives.
The little Lion of House Lannister could imagine that, in battle, these young men wouldn't last more than a few minutes against experienced warriors. Each of them wore arrogant expressions, trying to appear calm in the face of the majestic and magnificent city they were approaching.
However, as they approached the city, Tyrion felt that he was getting close to a huge monster, ready to devour him at any moment.
If he wasn't careful, Braavos might become his tomb, something his father certainly expected. After all, if he died serving the realm, he would die an honorable death and finally become worthy in the eyes of all, no longer a stain on the glorious reputation of House Lannister.
"May the Seven help me, I still want to go back to King's Landing and visit all the brothels in that shit-stinking city at least once more in my life." Tyrion muttered to himself, preferring to be in the warm, soft arms of the whores of King's Landing than in that city that could become his tomb.
Letting out a sigh, Tyrion watched as the ship docked at the Port of Chequy, where customs officers were already prepared to inspect the vessel on the orders of the Sea Lord of Braavos.
