Elizabeth- a Jamie Lannister fanfic

Anger

"Tell me why I shouldn't just behead you both right now?" Vis asks, staring at Jamie and tyrion in the small council chamber. She stands at the head of the table with varys and Peter baelish sitting to one side of her. She is being coronated in a few days, stannis will be arriving in a week and right now is in a black mourning dress. The sun has just risen but she has been up all night working, setting things right and ordering her crown. Finally she is getting to confront tyrion and Jamie

"I didn't know about it, cersei and father were working behind my back as well as yours and Jamie's because I they knew we wouldn't tolerate it. I would never do anything to hurt you or my nephew who I knew you and Jamie both loved dearly, when you arrived I was in the tower of the hand working. If you want to behead me then behead me but I do not believe that I am the one you should be interrogating your grace" tyrion replies.

"Everyone will have their turn. Do you have anything to say in your defence Jamie?"

"You know me. We've been married over a year and a half. I would never do anything you cause you or our children harm. I killed my sister and my father because of what they did to you" he says earnestly.

"Very well. Lord varys, you knew about what they would do to me and Jonathan, don't bother lying. Just tell me why I shouldn't kill you"

"I knew about what they would do to you, I didn't know the brutal way they would kill you and I didn't know that they would kill your son. I knew they would use your son as as a bargaining tool but I didn't know that they would go so far as to kill him. The reason I let them kill you is because I have no weapons, I cannot fight. All I do is hear little whispers"

"But if you heard whispers then you could have told tyrion, the acting hand of the King. What is it that you want exactly?"

"Peace. Prosperity. A land where the powerful do not prey on the powerless" Varys says

"Where the castles are made of gingerbread and the moats are filled with blackberry wine. The powerful have always preyed on the powerless, that's how they became powerful in the first place" Tyrion comments

"Perhaps. And perhaps we've grown so used to horror we assume there's no other way" Varys replies

"Anyways. Lord baelish, you stand accused of giving lysa Arryn tears of lys which she slipped into Jon arryns wine. You started the feud between the lannisters and the Starks, you told Lord Eddard and lady catelyn that the dagger that was sent to kill bran was tyrions, that was a lie, it was yours. You tried to create chaos and almost succeeded because after all, chaos is a ladder. You also held a knife to Lord Edwards throat after pretending to be loyal to him, thus betraying him and resulting in a near escape of his execution. Do you have anything to say in defence?" She says, turning on little finger who looks slightly lost for words

"Your grace, everything I have done was for the realm..."

"Don't lie, everything you've done was for yourself." Vis pulls her dagger and walks closer to him. "Do you have any last words?"

"Your grace, please, I beg you, give me chance to prove myself. I have loved your aunt Lady Catelyn since I was a boy. I loved you"

"You betrayed lady Catelyn and you loved my dragons" vis wrenches his head back and slits his throat. "Lord Varys, you will remain as master of whisperers, Jamie you are the master of war and Tyrion I name you hand of the queen. If I smell a single whiff of treachery from any of you then you shall be executed" she tells them. "I have to go and meet with tycho nestoris or whatever his name is" she walks off and everyone waits until she is gone before saying anything.
