What if Jaime Lannister SAVED Elia Martell and Targaryen Children

what have jime Lannister saved ellia Martell and her children let's explore the depths of it in the video jaim stands over the corpse of the Mad King Breathing heavily as the full realization of what he did begins to hit him he stares at his bloody hands feeling them shake this goes beyond just regicide this is a betrayal the Betrayal of his King his oath and what it means to be a knight and yet he does not think of that now he hears the commotion happening from outside and realizes he has little time to waste if he knows his father then he knows what will happen next tywin's Army has already started to breach the castle walls and it is only a matter of time before they enter Maker's hold fast and there are only a handful of targaryens left Jaime hurries to the Royal Apartments his footsteps Echo across the ground as he pushes the chambers open finding ellia Martell clutching her children tightly in her arms her eyes widen but jimie beckons her to follow him to the white sword Tower as they hurry up the steps Jaimie watches the doorway hearing voices behind them he finds a squad of Lannister men at Arms approaching led by Sir Amory and Gregor sir Jamie we are searching for the princess and her children have you seen them yes I have already arrested them so you need not worry about that our task is not to arrest them step aside so we can complete it the giant attempt Ms to brush past him but Jamie blocks his path one hand reaching down for his sword sir emry pales and Gregor growls and reaches over his shoulder to grab his great swword I'm afraid it is you see my job is to protect the king and his family that includes his grandchildren so you see the problem if I let you pass you're playing a dangerous game Lannister your father will hear of this perhaps but it is him I answer to not you you now if you truly have your blood boiling I would be glad to indulge you however I think even a bull like you understands what Lord Tywin will do if you lay a finger on me you're strong I'll Grant you but are you strong enough to take on every man in his army for a moment it seems like the mountain might risk this confrontation he growls and grips the hilt of his sword behind him the rest of his men step back while jaim gets into a fighting position and then he growls releases his blade turning and stalking off sir Amry follows suit with jimie calling after him that Elia is under his protection and should something happened to her or her children he will know who is responsible he only lets them out once Robert Baratheon arrives in the capital with his forces by that time Tywin has learned about his son's actions and is furious but he finds an unexpected Ally in Ned Stark who bars the way and prevents any Lannister soldier from getting close to the tower it is a tense situation that nearly escalates into violence but remains civil by the time Jim escorts them into the throne room Tywin Robert and Ned are waiting for him explain your foolishness Jamie now I simply thought that our fearless leader Robert barathan would like the honors of striking the final blow he pulls his long sword from his Scabbard and tosses it to the ground the others eyes widen in surprised at the gesture especially Robert whose eyes flash with Fury at the challenge but he does not move to pick it up instead he stares at the trio Elia Martell clings to her children tightly there is no Defiance in her no challenge simply fears for herself and her children jimie can see Robert's resolve crumble you can see the emotions wore in him but one thought becomes clear Heroes don't kill children slowly Robert sinks back into his throne in size what am I to do with you Robert if I may this could perhaps be a blessing in disguise having Elia here could appease the dornish and her children's safety would go long way in satisfying the royalists satisfy them until they decide to rebel and put crowns on their heads perhaps but it can prevent another threat from emerging viser remains at large and with the Royal children here they could act as insurance should the Prince decide to press his claim and to ensure this we can can have the children and their mothers swear an oath that they shall not press their claim to the iron throne with all the Lord's ha as sworn Witnesses very well I suppose that can work Elia wastes no time in swearing before the old gods the new and royar that she will not try to Crown her children she coaxes aegon and Ry to do the same and then it is done as they are sent away to Dorne Ned glances at Jaimie and gives him a respectful nod however Lord Tywin is anything but pleased he gives Jaime a hard look before departing without another word once he is gone everyone's attention turns back to the governance of the Seven Kingdoms despite their Victory Dragon Stone remains defiant however it turns out that a Siege might not be necessary to capture the ancient stronghold after learning how Robert spared Elliot's children Sir William Dar offers terms the same treatment for AR's children in exchange for the castle surrender Robert and John cannot find a reason to refuse them while sparing the other targaryens and agree to these terms with this decree the war is brought to a close sir Jim is hailed as a hero for his rule by the end with honors lavished on him though his reputation is sullied somewhat by slaying the Mad King his act of Mercy to Elli and the Royal children wins him the respect of figures like the grudging Red Viper and Ned Stark but as the realm settles into peace Robert and John consider the problem more thoroughly while the children did swear their oath this can easily be forgotten in the future once they are older and argue they were made under duress no he and John Aaron decide that to ensure the peace they must have someone watch them to ensure they abide by the oath and Report any signs of them planning to break Faith to do this they assign sir jimie as their Guardian he is well respected in Dorne for defying his father so the dornish will not challenge him but the shadow of his actions on the Mad King means the children may never fully trust him or turn him to their side the throne room is silent save for the crackling of torches along the great stone walls Robert barathan sits slouched upon the Iron Throne fingers drumming against the armrest as he regards Jamie Lannister with a calculating stare you will go to Dawn you saved those children now you will watch them your grace I am a knight of the king's God my duty is here in the capital by your side your duty is to the realm in the realm need those targaryan welps watched do you think their Oaths will last forever a child swears a thing and forgets it by the time they are grown you will be my eyes in Sun Spear ensure they abide by their word and if they don't you will tell me jimie exhales slowly he does not want this he had thought perhaps foolishly that in Saving ellia Martell's children he had done his part now Robert would have him play the Jailer an everpresent sh Shadow over their lives you are well regarded in Dawn sir Jamie they will not challenge you but you must understand this assignment for what it is a way to keep the peace should viseris or any loyalist attempt to stir Rebellion you will be our first warning if you truly want to protect the king then do it by making sure these children cause no trouble as you command your grace King Slayer s Jami make no mistake I do not wish harm to those children rhaegar's welps they may be but they are still children men may try to corrupt them and use them to their ends so protect them jimie looks up at Roberts realization Dawning on him more importantly he hears it in his voice something he never heard from Lord Taiwan respect he bows his head and assures him that he will do everything he can however that good feeling does not last as Cersei is livid at this news they are taking you from me you are my brother not some wet nurse for Dragon Spa it is the King's will I have no choice come with me instead we'll go to castley rock father will welcome you back and what would happen then Robert would hunt me and you would be forced on a run we both would Cersei Yanks her hand away Furious and unwilling to accept it it Tywin is no less displeased though he does not rage like Cersei he merely studies Jamie with a cold calculation a wasted opportunity if you left the King's Guard you could rule castley rock as you were meant to instead you play Watchdog for Dragon welps jimie says nothing there is no use in arguing with his father but that withering look is enough to leave him unnerved Dorne is UN like anything jimie has known the air is warm the sun unrelenting the culture steeped in a deep quiet Pride he is met with weary eyes and hushed Whispers but the dornish Do Not outright reject him perhaps in some strange way they respect him for defying his father and for sparing their princess and her children the most vocal is Obin Martell who toasts to jimie and mocks Tywin openly in the feasting table Doran is more subtle but there is a strength in his voice as he thanks Jamie for what he's done but the most poignant comes from Elia Martell for that I will always be grateful I only did what was right a rare thing especially in these times over time she comes to trust him they speak often and she confides in him her fears her hopes she remains wary of Robert's intentions but knows that for now her children are safe Jaimie does not tell her of the true reason for his presence in sunspear he does not need to she likely already suspects the children however are another matter entirely none of them have forgotten jimie and though he might have saved them he still killed King Aries Ry watches him with guarded suspicion she is old enough to remember what happened in the red keep old enough to recall the fear and bloodshed she keeps her distance to aegon and Daenerys he is simply a stranger the worst though is viseris bitter and proud despises jaim outright he doesn't hide his opinions cursing him and calling him the king slayer at every opportunity jaim stands at the edge of the training yard showing off his swordplay skills against the Guardsmen easily disarming them one at a time almost none of them can put up a serious fight but they have Spirit each time he sends a sword flying or knocks a dornishman aside the children's eyes light up but viseras watches from the shade of a stone Archway arms crossed his mouth curled in disdain he suddenly steps forward and stands in front of them you shouldn't be listening to him or watching him once it was our men he butchered on the steps of the red keep right before he butchered our father he's a king Slayer a traitor he murdered our family you're right I do not deny that crime but I also saved your lives is that what you call it we were Prin prin and princesses once and you took that from us we are nothing more than glorified Exiles that is why I'm here to make sure what happened to your father won't happen again I'm here to protect you from those who want you dead they will kneel because we are dragons your father thought the same it didn't save him theer is storms away seething but rainy remains she glances between Jaimie and her retreating brother before setting her jaw she then sits back down to continue watching once again visarius isn't the only one watching obber and Martel steps out from the shadows and nods approvingly however he warns that winning over the children will not be so easy he will need more than sword play these children need someone to help them live not just keep them alive Jaime leans back in his chair smirking as Tyrion raises his goblet launching into yet another absurd tale of his Misadventures in the brothel of King's Landing under most circumstances this story would have been highly inappropriate but his brother has managed to censor the worst of it under the Gaze of Elia and Obin the latter casually sharpening a knife across from them Ry and aegon listen with wrapped attention Jaimie watches Ries in particular over the years he has come to understand her Fierce fiery and intelligent she reminds him of himself at her age especially her eagerness to learn how to fight alongside aegon Jaimie is happy to oblige them showing them the basics until such a time that they can learn more advanced lessons these little lessons help him bridge the gap between them it leads to other things talking about their family living in fear of domineering relatives with Jaimie his father and rainy the Mad King it is in moments like these when her guard is down and that her laughter is real that he knows he has truly begun to win her trust the only one who does not laugh is basus he lingers near the doorway arms crossed eyes burning with resentment he continues to warn her about how much time they spend together telling them not to trust him over time Jaimie is more convinced that viseras will be the likely Target for any coup the other children are sweet and less likely to be swayed by bat counselors one night as he sits in one of the galleries with the children he hears shouting in an instant he has his sword in hand and pushes them behind him Obin and several guards come rushing down to escort them to safety while Jamie moves to investigate the sound of Steel clashing the cries of dying men his instincts scream of an attack he rounds a corner and nearly collides with a wounded dornish guard blood soaking his tunic Jaime bursts into the courtyard just as a shadowy figure stands over the body of two guards he's mounted a black horse and leading another one as visarius prepares to rise up over him the kidnapper silver armor catches the Moonlight his violet eyes gleaming like polished steel Dark Star Jaimie lunges their swords clash in a flash of Sparks the blades clang several times but Jaimie is at a disadvantage as dark star sweeps down forcing him to roll aside he then rushes in once again blocking the next strike and pushing it aside impressive it's been a while since I encountered a foe who got my blood boiling like this he suddenly thrusts forward forcing Jaimie aside he brings his sword down and locks with him Dark Star is fast and relentless but jimie is stronger he forces the king's grave back step by step his blade singing through the night air but Darkstar fights only to escape kicking dirt into Jaime's face before leaping onto his horse viseras is there a moment later he merely looks down at jime with cold defiant eyes before spurring the horse forward Jaimie watches them disappear into the dunes the wind swallowing the sound of hoof beats unsurprisingly Robert is far from pleased when he hears about this wasting no time in raising his Banners To War as to where is the question although the dornish assures him that they will not support viseris they still have no clue where he shall strike royalist holdouts remain all across the Seven Kingdoms most still in hiding however the largest concentration of them are in the riverlands where Tully is not enough to pacify them along the southern coast house ryer Derry muttin leester and good Brook rally to his side the decision to declare this Rebellion there is not one they make lightly the riverlands are connected to many of the other regions that still Harbor royalist sentiments along the veil stormlands and reach lesser houses join the war this prevents the great houses from coming down in full strength to attack the riverlands despite the initial momentum of the uprising it soon becomes clear that viseris lacks the strength to truly challenge Robert's Rule the Rebellion while widespread remains fractured more critically the other surviving targaryens refuse to join viser Prince aegon princess Ries and Daenerys have grown fond of jimie and come to accept Dorne as their new home especially as Robert promises them drag Stone if they behave they declare their neutrality a move that deeply wounds viseris and isolates him further Jaime takes command of the dornish army stationed in the reach with Obin Martell at her side they rush into the reach where the Rebellion has some success together with the reachmen they snuff out each holding in particular oberin takes great pleasure in destroying the marcher Lords who have risen against the crown together they Purge the Rebellion from the reach ensuring that the tyrells remain loyal and the supply lines to the riverlands are secured with the southern front pacified jaim turns his attention to the heart of the conflict the riverlands though the war rages in the riverlands the rebels can see that staying there is Impractical as the reach and westerlands begin marching up against them instead they decide to make a Mad Dash towards King's Landing Gathering forces from crack clot point and Crown Lander loyalists they March East before the rest of the army can mobilize Robert Baratheon is no fool though outnumbered he refuses to abandon the capital instead he uses his smaller Force to hold the rebels at Bay fighting a series of brutal defensive battles while awaiting reinforcements the crownlands burn as the two sides Clash the rebels throwing everything they have into one last desperate gamble but the tide inevitably turns reinforcements from the reach in the veil descend upon the rebel Army crushing them between two forces house Derry Falls house muttin is annihilated visarius himself vanishes in the chaos fleeing into the night as his Grand Rebellion crumbles around him as for Darkstar he is captured along with hundreds of rebels who are sent to the wall as punishment their lands stripped from them entirely the cold wind howls over the wall as Sir Gerald DNE called Darkstar does his rounds in Castle black for years now he has served his sentence helping the watch Manning its wall and beating back Wilding Raiders this far north time has bled away and years have now passed but this day feels different as he peers down the wall he sees the distant figure approach as he descends to confront him he glances at the Silvery hair flowing behind him the man is escorted by a small group of soldiers some of whom Dark Star has served with he smiles viseris Targaryen has returned he had been cast aside exiled to the Night's Watch like a common criminal but fate it seems is not finished with him yet the black Brothers standing watch that night do not suspect anything until it is too late at first it seems that visarius has come in peace seeking to pledge himself to the watch but when he announces his demand for them to yield the castle Dark Star strikes he lashes out slitting sir alist Thorn's throat above the centes at top the wall collapse thrown off by other royalists the Mutiny begins outnumbered and unprepared the knights watch fight back but vas's loyalists emboldened by desperation and years of Exile prove merciless sir Jeremy reker falls in the yard his sword still in hand joral Mormont Lord commander of the knights watch makes his last stand outside his Chambers cutting down several traitors before being overwhelmed his body collapsing into the snow as dark star wretches his sword free from Mormon's ribs he sends word to all the other castles manned by them with an offer visarius will pardon all men who come to his side and allow them to return home many have spent years in Exile and have lost all hope what he offers is tempting and far beyond what any could have imagined while some refuse thousands agree those dissenters are quickly dealt with but within days the knight's watch is under his control with Castle black taken only one task remains they storm the maester tower where maester Aman awaits them his breath labored yet there is steel in his voice as he speaks this is madness for series you stain your family's name with each drop of blood spilled no more than rhaegar or my treacherous kin the prince that was promised who is it what did my brother believe why did he lead our family to ruin because of it prophecies are traps my prince they twist the Mind turn good men into monce you have made mistakes but turn away from this path and you may save yourself viseris draws his sword and points it at his throat yet Aman rests his chin upon it is that meant to frighten me Prince I I'm a man with one foot on the strangest door then I will execute all our prisoners we've captured 200 men too frightened are too stupid to accept my offer my prince please do not take this path you are crossing a dangerous threshold with what you do perhaps but their lives are in your hands trembling Amon tries to steady himself in his seat but with an Express ression long and pained he reveals everything he whispers the prophecy to his ears as he hears this viserys's eyes widen and he nods then I will be the prince that was promised I will bring Fire and Blood to this world with Castle black under his control the wall once the shield that guarded the Realms of men now belongs to the last dragon word of this does not spread immediately versus is careful to have all information locked down about it but soon enough the few survivors managed to make their way South bringing news to Ned Stark and the Northman of what happened they waste no time and begin preparing for war but they know they cannot do this on their own with viserys's army consisting not just of the watch but many veterans from his War he is in a powerful position and they require reinforcements Robert barathan wastes no time and calls his banners once again the banners of the north rise in the Winter Winds as Ned Stark leads his host northward the Stark direwolf flies beside the banners of car Stark Umber and manderly as the combined forces of the north surge toward the occupied castles along the wall Castle black is their first Target but viseris is not idle he has sent Ravens Beyond the Wall promising land and steel to the free folk in exchange for their loyalty they come in droves th ice River Clans hornfoots and countless others pouring through the gates viseris Now controls the northern Vanguard strikes hard capturing Shadow Tower and pressing Eastward but they soon find the enemy is not so easily broken Wilding Raiders Ambush supply lines their knowledge of the land turning every road into a battlefield which should have been a swift campaign turns into a grinding bitter war with both sides suffering heavy losses in the snow covered wastelands Ned's offensive in Castle black must contend with Hit and Run raids from the knights watch and wildlings but as their blood decorates the ground below the true enemy awakens the night King Watches as the war rages as the fires of men burn where there should only be ice he senses the weakening of the ancient warts the corruption of the Night's Watch and the blood spilled in the snow a blizzard sweeps across the battlefield the temperature plunging as the dead rise among the corpses at first the men think it is a trick of the free Folk some magic of the woods witches but then they see them ice blue eyes deathless Warriors clad in frostbitten remnants of armor Panic spreads through the ranks the northmen and wildlings alike turn from their battle against each other blades clashing Against The Rising Dead but it is too late the white walkers descend upon the wall their cold touch seeps into the foundations and the magic woven into the stones begins to break with a groaning shudder the wall a th000 ft of ancient ice fractures the knights watch Garrison crumbles the fortifications shattering as the army of the Dead surges forward Ned Stark barely escapes with the survivors of his host retreating Southward as the dead flood through the ruins his army battered and frostbitten regroups but now they face a war unlike any before the wall has fallen word reaches King's Landing swiftly carried by desperate Ravens Robert barath grim-faced and Furious assembles the Royal host the Seven Kingdoms may have been divided before but now with the dead marching there is no choice but to unite to Jaime's surprise it is rainey's Targaryen who steps forward first by now she has grown into a young woman skilled with a spear thanks to oberin agon and taries will not be touched by those monsters not while I live jimie rides beside her along with the Knights of the King's Guard and the best men the realm can muster but his reports of the Dead filtering South grow more dire Robert remains adamant the north cannot be allowed to fall and they will need all the Firepower they can muster this is where Jaimie makes a startling Discovery Aries wanted to burn this city to the ground he ordered his pyromancers to hide Wildfire beneath the streets ready to turn King's Landing into a funeral P most of that is still here somewhere and how do you know that because because I killed him for it silence Falls over the room everyone looks at him in Surprise rainy The Red Viper S barriston even Robert is at a loss for words although he cannot bring himself to stay in the silence for long and takes a deep breath I took no pleasure in his death I did it not for my father because of this and right now it is our best chance he had enough Wildfire to destroy half a million people let's see how good it is against the Dead the wind howls like a wounded Beast as the dead March upon Winterfell Ned Stark stands upon the walls sword in hand watching the endless tide of corpses the northern host is battered and exhausted every battle has cost them dearly and now with the dead pressing against the gates of Winterfell it is looking Bleak inside the castle the wounded cry out Children huddled together clutching each other for warmth the Great Hall is packed with survivors but even there cold seeps through the stones as if the very walls know what is coming the main gate shutters as the whites throw themselves against it axes hack Through the Wood skeletal hands reach through the cracks others try to scale the wall climbing over other corpses only to be met by the exhausted resistance of the north Ned himself runs back and forth through the battlements rallying whoever he can and trying to raise morale as they fire back he takes a deep breath and drives back another cluster of whites feeling his arms sag with exhaustion he takes a deep breath and prepares to Signal a retreat but then the sound of War drums Echoes from The Horizon Jim lanister rides at the head to his side rainy's Targaryen her hair whipping in the wind leads the dornish Cavalry behind them Robert barathan Roars like a maddened bull as he barrels through the undead before they Collide With the Enemy Army the Wildfire is hurled above their heads explosions ripped through the undead army green Flames engulfing the whites the front lines of the Dead are incinerated in a blazing Inferno they're inhuman shrieks piercing the air those too slow to get out of the way are ridden down letting the living clear that section of the battlefield from the walls of Winterfell men cheer at the sight of this as more Wildfire pours into the battlefield setting it a fire despite the ice and snow Robert Wheels his charge directly towards Winterfell aiming to break the siege head on but jaim lingers back sensing something in the air a sudden coldness coming from the side he whirls his horse to the flank and sees a section of the Wildfire dissipating immediately from that section the night King makes his way forward as the whites Rush past him they will hit Robert's flank if unchecked we go for him rainey's nods and gestures for the dornishman to join her taking a picked force of elite Knights jaim orders a charge to meet the night King while backed by the dornish Cavalry the dornish men Riot on ahead their swifter mounts carrying them forward as they hurl Spears and jars of wildfire to sew some chaos just as Jaime's charge hits them dozens of whites are trampled underfoot driving them forward though most of these light Cavalry Retreat Ry remains with them they make their way straight towards the night King where Jaime raises his sword out he is impossibly fast sidest stepping this strike than parrying it and sending Jaimie off his horse he barely brings up his sword in time to Halt the attack as the night King comes at him again if he was anyone else then this would have been a death sentence and yet Jamie does not falter or break instead he rises up and meets him headon his sword moves with equally blinding speed when the night King brings down his sword jimie catches it and pivots to the side elbowing him across the face that was the only blow he suffered since this attack but jimie is already moving thrusting at his side to try and finish him off the night King parries this strike and the duel continues he appears mildly surprised to see that jaim is actually holding his own he then begins to press deeper and the strain begins to show however skilled jimie might be he is still human as the night King moves faster and faster he cannot seem to keep up and then a charge from the side Ry comes in Lance crouched as she tries to thrust at him but the night King moves faster hacking her horse's legs from underneath her and sending her tumbling she falls just a few feet away and the night King is immediately upon her but as he brings his sword down Jaimie moves faster he glares at the night King defiant and intercepts the killing blow Dragon glass glass meets Ice and the force of the impact nearly knocks Jamie off his feet he grits his teeth pushing back with all his strength ice creeps along the blade freezing it in his grip seeing him slow down the night King whirls and Strikes at him again but Jaimie pivots to the side and brings his sword down Jaime's muscles burn his breath comes in ragged gasps still he cannot stop and pushes it aside as the duel continues and then Ry is by his side jabbing her Spear and whirling around Dodges strikes she lets jimie handle the fighting but strikes out wherever he can he watches he waits then he sees it a flicker a shift in stance the smallest of openings jimie lunges his sword pierces the night King's chest for a moment silence then cracks spread from the wound light seeping through the molten gold against ice the knight's King expression does not change but he begins to fracture his form breaking apart a single breath later he shatters the battlefield Stills and then like a wave breaking the dead collapse the whites fall where they stand lifeless once more the bitter wind dies the unnatural cold receding the war is over with the war over the living can breathe a sigh of relief but Robert takes note of rainey's Bravery without any heirs from Cersei he must consider alter alternatives for his succession and sees the strength the young Targaryen has proving herself loyal beyond a shadow of a doubt and brave so he names her his Heir with Jaimie as the protector of her family that's our Theory Westeros is a land filled with exciting stories and
