Whilst the war continued around the Westeros not much changed in the way of life at Casterly Rock, Tyrion and I still had lessons and spent time in the library together, we would also walk and explore any hidden passages within the Rock. But there was a thick tension in the air, the servants were getting nervous and whispering rumours of the war. It was as if we were just spectating the rest of the seven kingdoms.
Lessons with Father was going well, due to his large network of spies he has he k ows everything that is going on within the war and then he would tell me them and question me on whether that was smart/right thing to do.
Father is also worrying, he hide it though under his stoic face, as well as Tyrion and I, it is no secret that Aerys Targaryen had Rickard Stark burned alive and his eldest son Brandon and two hundred northern men. His actions throughout the war gavi him moniker 'The mad king' and is has acted as form of propoganda for the rebels.
We worry for Jaime, he is set to be kept close to the king everyday. Cersei spends most of her day weeping and moaning. And I sympathies with her because Jaime is my brother and he could die anytime but there is a limit of how much I take of her mopping around.
Father is the worst, he is one of the best military strategist of Westeros and the most powerful man on the continent, he has never been in such a situation of weakness. With Jaime kept as a glorified hostage Father has to be careful, If he joins the rebellion then the war would come to a swift end however Jamie will most likely be burned alive, on the hand if he joins the loyalists then he has to face the combined strength of four out of seven kingdoms, whereas neutrality will most likely will allow Jamie to live but gain the fire of whoever will win the war.
As time passed the war continued, everything happens just like in the original story. Now understanding how dire the situation has become, king Aerys sends Ser Jonathan Darry and Ser Barristan Selmy to find and bring back the crown prince Rhaegar Targaryen.
Returning to Kings landing Rhaegar Targaryen had apparently asked his father to send a raven to Casterly Rock, asking for my Father's help in front of the whole court. Surprisingly he agreed and sent the raven, which coincidently three days after the rebels asked my Father for help.
In the next lesson we had with each other he had brought out both messages and had asked me to read and decide what I thought. By this time both of the forces ready for the battle on both sides were equal, discounting the Reach as they were still held up at Storms End. All it would take to win the war now would be a final deciding battle would have most likely commenced.
Father had gotten a raven from his large network of spies that the battle would start soon as both armies were approaching each other at the Trident. Seeing that would most likely be were the climax of the war would be, Father had set out with an army of 12,000 down the Gold Road to Kings landing, where he would either pledge his support to Aerys Targaryen or sack the city depending on outcome of the battle.
The last I heard was that the rebels had won the battle, which some people are calling battle of Trident, and Robert Baratheon had slain Prince Rhaegar. It had also relayed to us a week and a half later that father had besiege Kings landing.
It is also lack of information of the ongoing of the outside world that nearly all the Lannister's that live in Casterly Rock, and aren't in the army with Father, are currently within Ser Rylen Algood's study.
Now that father is not present at Casterly Rock, Ser Rylen is in charge of matters at the rock and manages the household and castle in his instead.
Clearing his throat Ser Rylen starts "I have received word from Lord Tywin, apparently the siege had ended and the war is over, the king is dead ending the Targaryen dynasty" he says with solace, "Jamie is alive and in good health, Cersei is to come to court, as well as my heir Cerion. Tyrion is to remain at Casterly Rock."
