Multi Space Wanderer

Chapter 30 - Happenings at Tourney

Many houses and people came to attend the tourney. Because there are only a handful of thing for enjoyment in this world such as whoring, drinking and seeing people killing each other. So this tourney provided the third most entertaining thing to the people.

Except that the death ratio was less but nevertheless it was still extremely enjoyable. And the prizes for winners was also exponential so many people wanted to perform in tourney to get a winning price.

Yesterday when Zack separated from Jaime, Jaime went towards his father's solar to recount the events that happened today at the gates. Zack was watching it live in the heavenly world. When Jaime entered his father's solar, there he saw his sister as well as his 'nephew', Cersei and Joffery already present talking with the old loin.

When Zack saw Cersei he couldn't help but be amazed at her beauty. She was more beautiful than shown in the TV serials. He thought that the title of 'queen of thorns' should belong to Cersei instead of Olynna tyrell.

So when Jaime entered he first greeted his sister as well as his 'nephew' then he turned towards his father and after greeting he described all the happenings to him. After listening to Jaime Tywin said "It looks like the north has finally given birth to a true wolf." Cercei who was silently listening to the whole talk finally scoffed and said, "What true wolf, just another barbarian who became a little famous."

When Tywin heard Cersei he turned towards her direction and said "A barbarian huh. If a barbarian can accomplish as much as he did then i wish all my children were barbarians." "We are not barbarians so what! Jaime is the best fighter there is in the whole kingdom and is the kings guard. And i am the queen of seven kingdoms and my son Joffery is the future king of seven realms including those barbarians.". Cercei snapped at her father.

"Yes you are the queen but who made you the queen? And for the future king i don't have much hope he is an idiot who gets happy while killing animals." Tywin told it as a matter of fact.

"I am not an idiot i am the prince. And i am much batter than a barbarian." Joffery who was eight years old also became frustrated hearing his grandfather calling him an idiot. "SHUT UP BOY. You are better than him? Then tell me how are you better than him?" Tywin was beginning to get angry at his daughter and grand Son.

"I am better than him because i am prince and i will be the king of seven kingdoms." Joffery smugly exclaimed. Tywin couldn't help but be surprised at the stupidity shown by his grandson. When Joffery was killing cats and squirrels the one who they are calling a barbarian was already at the battlefield.

Jaime when seeing his father getting angry changed the topic. "So what are we going to do about him?" Tywin also understood that Jaime was trying to change the topic but he let it slide. "For now we will do nothing. We do not want to make enemies with the third richest household. On the other hand we will try to increase our trade with them." After thinking for some time Tywin replied Jaime.

The Lannisters already have too many enemies he didn't want to make another. "And Jaime you told me that his guard who was also a woman single handedly killed seven of our guards. Then how do you see yourself against her in a fight?"

When he asked this, Jaime was silent for a long time until he sighed and told his father. "I can say our chances are 50 : 50 when i am wearing an armor. The only thing which i have to lookout would be her speed and because she is a girl i am confident that only with speed she will be unable to pierce my armor." When Zack heard that he couldn't help but shake his head and thought 'Only if you knew~'.

Tywin was an intelligent man he atonce caught a phrase in what Jaime said and again asked. " oh chances are 50 : 50 while you are 'wearing an armor'. Then without an armor?" Jaime shook his head and sighed. "If i am not wearing an armor then i am hundred percent sure to lose." Jaime was a straightforward man so he told his father the truth.

"How can this be possible? You are the best fighter in the Westros. Surely you are better than a barbarian." Cersei was not convinced. In her eyes Jaime was the best.

Tywin after thinking about something said "This is more of a reason for us to not make enemy with them. If the rumors are correct and Zack Stark have two thousand of such polished warriors under his command then it is force to be reckoned with." "OK now go and take some rest tomorrow you will have single matches in the tourney i want you to bring back the victory for house Lannister. That is why i will only allow the mountain in the joust competition." Saying this he sent Jaime away to take some rest and prepare himself for tomorrow's tourney.

When Zack heard their conversation and seeing the unwilling eyes of Cersei he understood that tomorrow will be an interesting day for him.

The next day was the start of the tourney in which there were two most important competitions to be held. the first competition was one on one fighting match. And the second competition will be of jousting.

So there were many who participated in these competitions. For example Ser Jaime Lannister, Ser Barristan Selmy, Lord Jason Mallister, Lord Yohn Royce, Ser Ryman Frey, Ser Hosteen Frey, Lord Whent, Ser Lyle Crakehall, Ser Boros Blount.

And The mountain Ser Gregor Clegane will be competing in only the jousting.

All the guests who were invited to attend the tourney came one after another. Eddard Stark also came accompanying his guards as well as Zack Stark with his clippers and calmly sat at their designated seats. After some time King Robert also came accompanying Tywin Lannister, Cercei as well as Joffery who sat at the host's seats. Zack also noticed Tyrion Lannister, who was seated behind the Tywin's seat out of other peoples vision.

The most noticeable guests for Zack were the people from the reach. The queen of thorns, her son who was now the lord of reach as well as her grand daughter Margaery tyrell. Who was a cute little devil of only ten name days only. .

Maybe it was Zack's misconception but he noticed that Olynna tyrell was very curiously observing him from her seats and was whispering something in the ears of Margaery who after hearing her grand mother also looked towards him and gave him a small bow as well as a small smile.

'What the hell is happening? Why is that granny observing me that intently? it is creeping me out. And why did that little devil just smiled towards me.' Zack who was also observing them couldn't help but felt shivers run down his spine. 'What an intent glare.'

The first competition was the one on one fight. n which most of the fights were very exciting. The most impressive were the fights of both Ser Jaime Lannister as well as Ser Barristan Selmy. They both seemed to dance around their opponents. If Jaime Lannister was winning due to his agility and strength then Barristan Selmy was winning due to his techniques and experience.

Then the final match was between Ser Barristan Selmy and Ser Jaime Lannister. It was the most exciting fight of today. Both were amazing it was clear that Barristan Selmy was better than Jaime Lannister but after some time he started to get tired due to his old age. And the winner of their match was decided to be Jaime when he with an upper strike was able to disarm the old knight.

Their was a loud applause of spectators who were totally entertained by the fights. After winning, Ser Jaime Lannister came in front of the king and removed his helmet and saluted, it was a tradition for the winner. When King Robert stood up to say some congratulatory words, Zack noticed Cercei looking towards him and was giving a cunning smile. At that moment he knew that she was about to do something stupid.

And he was correct on his ȧssumption, because before King Robert opened his mouth Cercei stood up and looked towards the king and said. "It seems to me a bit unfair." "What is unfair, woman! " Robert directly snapped. He didn't like someone interjecting him.

"My Love! it only seemed to me unfair that there was no one competing from the north. It is like we are taking a winning chance away from the north." Cercei calmly said to Robert. "What do you mean by that. How are we taking a winning chance from Ned's side." Robert was getting increasingly angry. And by noticing the facial expressions of Tywin he was also extremely angry about the stupidity of his daughter.

"North is known for its strong warriors. And today no one from north participated. Even if Jaime won there will be many people saying that he only won because none from the north participated." When Zack heard Cercei he couldn't help but marvel at the thinking of Cercei. She was amazing at giving those ideas which were never meant to come in anyone's mind.

Now after she said that Zack could feel many people from the audience muttering between themselves as well as nodding from time to time. Robert also couldn't refuse now because even if he was a whore monger as well as an alcoholic but in no way was he an idiot. He could also feel the change in the people.

So he decided to go along with Cercei's plan and turned towards Eddard Stark and said " Ned what this woman is saying makes sense. So now you will send a warrior from your side to fight against Jaime. And also prepare a warrior who will participate in tomorrow's jousting. You have Half an hour to decide your warrior this will also give Jaime time to rest."

Eddard Stark stood from his seat and bowed towards king and said " As you wish my king." After saying this he turned towards his master of arms Ser Rodrick and asked him "Rodrick Who will you suggest we send to fight against Jaime?"

"My Lord i am embarrassed to say this but at this moment we don't have any warrior who could stand a few strikes from the king slayer." Rodrick said to Eddard Stark with embarrassment. Eddard also nodded because he was well aware of the martial prowess of Jaime Lannister. While thinking some time he looked towards Zack who was leisurely sitting on his seat and asked him.

"Zack where is your personal guard Katakuri?"

"Father he didn't come with us. I appointed some tasks to him at Moat Cailin." Zack replied to his father and looked towards Cercei. And coincidentally their eyes met. Zack could see a mocking smile on her face. So he also gave her a provocative smile and turned towards his father.

"Father don't worry i have the best solution here. Mia here will fight against Jaime." Zack said while pointing towards Mia, who also came forward one step when she heard her lord mentioning her name.

"Young Lord Zack she is a woman. You can't possibly be thinking of making her participate against Jaime Lannister right." Ser Rodrick said as soon as he saw Zack pointing towards a beautiful lady. While Rodrick gave his opinion Eddard was looking intently at Mia, because he knew that Zack was like a businessman he will never do something from which he will get a loss.

And after some time of looking at Mia and the respectful gazes which were directly towards Mia from the other guards of Zack he was sure that this beautiful lady was definitely a strong warrior. Then he turned towards his son and he saw his son giving him a confident smile. "Sigh~ ok do as you please. And Ser Rodrick help miss Mia get a suitable armor." He turned towards Rodrick and gave him his order.

At this moment Mia who was silent till now spoke "I don't need any armor. It does not suit my fighting style." When every one heard that they became dumbfounded and Rodrick Said to Mia a bit dissatisfiedly. "Mia don't get so full of yourself. He is Ser Jaime Lannister who is known as the best swordsman in whole of Westros."

"Because he never fought against us clippers. Or his legend would have been broken very early. Any one of us clippers present here or in Moat Cailin can easily beat him," Mia also looked towards Rodrick and said in a mocking voice. While thinking ' The Best swordsman? pui~ if he is the best then what is our lord. Even now we can't beat our lord.'

"Hahaha Amazing this type of confidence is what i want in my clippers. Good now go Mia and bring back victory to us." Zack laughingly said and looked appreciatively towards Mia.

When Mia heard her lord she knelt down on floor and said " Your wish is my command, My lord." Saying this she stood back up and turned towards the clippers and put her right hand's fist on her heart and said "Rampage Over Enemies~~" And the other clippers also repeated "Rampage Over Enemies~~~" Zack came with this slogan for his house because the slogan of house stark didn't make any sense for him which was 'Winter is coming'.

After saying this she went towards the side of waiting seats and directly jumped down from a height of ten metres. Every one from Eddard's side was shocked and were thinking 'does she want to kill herself.' But then they saw that she was totally fine and was walking towards the center of the ground. When she reached there she just stood there and closed her eyes because there was still some time left for the start of match.

When Mia jumped in the fighting arena she attracted the attention of every one present, the people were first amazed by her jump but when they saw her face they once again were shocked by her beauty because every one of the clippers were provided the food and water from the heavenly world due to which all of them were extremely handsome and beautiful.

And the beauty of Mia combined with the beautiful tight fitted clipper uniform as well as the proud look on her face directly shook everyone's hearts. Even high born beauties were feeling jealous. Cercei's expression also turned dark. Because she was very proud of her beauty. But in-front of the confident Mia she also was loosing her confidence.

Tywin's face was also dark. But the reason for it was not the beauty of Mia but the way she jumped from that height without getting unfazed and the way she carried herself showed that she was an amazing fighter. When he noticed this he turned towards Cercei and gave her a glare. He was directly cursing Cercei in his heart. And if by chance Jaime loses from a woman it will gave a direct slap on the prestige of house Lannister.

Jiame was also thinking of tricks which he will use to win against that lady. As he was thinking about plans against Mia, the half an hour time which was given for rest ended and Tywin once again stood up and ordered to begin the match.

"Begin." When Jaime heard those words he unsheathed his sword and walked towards Mia while smiling the whole time. When he came near Mia he spoke "You should wear an armor." After hearing him Mia opened her eyes and looked towards him and asked "And Why is that?"

"Because it will save you from the embarrassment if your suit gets cut and you show your beautiful body to every one present here." Jaime said mockingly. He was trying to anger Mia. Because he knew that if she became angry there will appear an opportunity to defeat her.

"Oh~ don't worry you wouldn't be able to cut me." Mia seriously said to Jaime. This comment directly angered Jaime. He wanted to make his opponent angry but he was the one who got angry.

"Draw your sword." Jaime demanded.

"Our lord's order is to only draw our sword when we must kill. This is a competition not a fight to the death." When she said this to Jaime, he almost exploded on the spot but he controlled himself and turned towards Eddard Stark and said "Lord Stark please tell her to draw her sword."

Eddard was contemplating on what to do when a calm voice echoed in the stadium. "Mia!" Zack said when Mia heard her lord's voice she turned towards the spectators seat "My Lord." She respectfully said. Zack threw a blade towards her made of steel which he already took out from heavenly world's storage beforehand.

Mia caught that sword and looked towards Zack. Zack smiled and said "Mia use this sword instead of your blade." "As you wish my lord." Mia said and drew the given sword and gave that sword a few trial swings to get a feel of it.

After which she turned towards Jaime and said "Let's begin!" When Jaime heard her he atonce rushed towards her and slashed from the right side towards the midsection of Mia. But it was blocked by her sword. Jaime as if knowing that she will block this strike turned a full circle and slashed towards the other side but again Mia stopped his sword but at this time she stopped his strike with the sheath of the sword.

Jaime was amazed that she actually blocked his strike by the sheath. After which he started to strike from different sides and angles. Sometimes from the top or some times from the downward in an upward slash form. He was trying very hard to make an opening in her defense, But he was not able to do it.

After a moment of thought he decided to use a man's physical advantage against her but he was still easily being pushed by Mia. What a joke, all of the clipper were given the ability of Wolverine except his claws. So there physical strength was even comparable to the giants in this world. So once again he found himself under pressure. Till now each of his strikes were blocked. And every type of strategy failed.

"Its my turn now. I have given you enough time to jump around like a monkey." Mia said slowly and bent down her knees a little bit. And suddenly rushed towards Jaime and slashed towards Jaime's head. Jaime was startled by her speed and directly raised his sword upwards to stop the strike of Mia's sword. When their swords clashed, Jaime suddenly felt cold on his throat and felt a little bit of his blood flowing down his neck.

When Jaime was finally able to understand what happened he saw that his sword was blocking the sheath of Mia's sword while her sword was pointed to his neck.

"You Lose!" Mia declared while looking coldly towards Jaime. Jaime was drenched in cold sweat. 'If she wanted to kill me i would be a corpse by now.' Jaime thought while lowering his sword down and looking complexly towards Mia and said "I lost."

When Mia heard him she unsheathed her sword and turned towards Robert who was Laughing boisterously.

When Jaime accepted his defeat the audience went wild, while shouting "MIA~ MIA ~ MIA"
