After seeing her healthy daughter, something changed in Nymera, who had the thought of letting her daughter inherit her instead of her son since he was always so sick and would be too week to rule. But she decided to think of this thought later since her daughter had just seen the world.
"Her name is Elia Martel." Said Nymera with a smile on her face as she looked at her daughter. She thought about her promise to Joanna Lannister when the two promised each other when they were in King's Landing to marry their children and did not know if she should keep that promise or not.

[In Storm's End]
Eddard was a year old boy by now and learned how to sit and stand on his own. At the moment, he was in his mother's embrace, sitting on her legs while his mother, Cassana, whose eyes did not leave him for a second, held his hands.
During the past year, she had met with the author, her lord, and god in her dream many times. The two had been quite intimate there and played some games here and there. He warned her that her son had a great fate waiting for him, and she had to take care of him, not letting him out of her eyes even for a minute.
Cassana listened to him in every word he said and did not leave Eddard to play around with the other children. She was now in mad love with her lord and started inviting the cult that worshiped him in Essos to Stormsland. Although the other lords were not happy with that since they did not like other religions to get into their lands, they knew their lady's situation and decided to ignore this matter.
Eddard, who was sitting on his mother's legs, could not help but curse the author again in his mind since he was the reason behind all this. The author had some chat with him in the past year, and every time he would mock Eddard and tell the bad news.
Eddard did not have a chance to even turn a small stone into gold with Cassana's continuous supervision, making it difficult for him to use his ability. At the moment, Edward was talking and having another chat with the author in his mind.
"Why the fuck did you give me this ability if you did not want me to use it in the first place?" Asked Eddard in an angry voice since he did not even get the chance to walk on the ground on his own since Cassana would carry him the moment he did that.
"That is for you to figure out. It's not my problem but yours. I already give you such a wonderful ability, and you still want me to tell you how to use it." Said the author with a smirk on his face. He enjoyed his time those past few days since he would always annoy Eddard like that without giving a shit about anything.
Edward, who listened to his words, wanted to curse the author again out loud this time, but he stopped at the end since he knew that he would hurt himself by doing that.
He decided to ignore the author entirely and think of another way to get rid of his mother's monitoring. He wondered when his father would fuck her and make her pregnant with Stannis so that he would have some chance to play around.
Eddard did not know that Cassana, who was the author's puppet at the moment, would take some measures against Edward and would order the maids and servants to take care of Edward if anything happened and prevent him from doing anything 'Unusual.'.

[The seventh month of year 261 AC]
[In Westerlands]
After Tywin and the Lannister army returned from the war in the last year, Tywin started executing his plans at once. He could not wait to build a new army for the Rock since they lost many good men in the war. But the Lannister's vaults were empty since his father was idiot enough to lend his money to every house and merchant in Westerlands.
Tywin started his plan by sending to every house that had once borrowed money from his father in the previous year, asking them to pay their debts. And the ones who were unable to pay their debts should send a hostage to the Rock until they manage to pay.
Of course, with Tywin's father, Tytos Lannister, as the lord, many lords ignored Tywin's words and did not even put his words in their eyes since they knew that Tywin could not do anything to them. Roger Reyne even laughed and threw the letter into the fire. He also asked his vassals to ignore Tywin's words since he knew how week Tytos was.
As for Lord Walderan Tarbeck, he hoped to convince Tytos to rescind Tywin's edicts. So he traveled to Casterly Rock to meet the man in person. Of course, Tywin would not let something like that happened and instead imprisoned Lord Walderan since his father, Tytos, was spending his time with his mistress and was not free to attend those meetings.
In response to her husband's imprisonment, Ellyn Reyne seized three Lannisters. They were two Lannisters of Lannisport, and Stafford Lannister, whose sister Joanna got married to Tywin not long ago. She threatened Tywin to harm them unless he returned her husband to her.
At that time, Tywin's father decided to return and fuck up Tywin's plans. He ignored Tywin's suggestion of sending Lord Walderan back to his wife in three pieces, one for every Lannister taken, and instead returned Walderan unharmed. In addition, he forgave the Tarbeck debt to House Lannister, making everyone laugh at him more and his son, Tywin, hated him more than he already did.
That action annoyed Tywin, who swore that he would get rid of his father's rule in the next year. He saw that his father would destroy what remained of the Lannister's dignity if he stayed as the lord of Casterly Rock.
He carefully planned for a whole year and decided to make things difficult for House Reyne and House Tarbeck. He wanted to make the two houses revolt against the Lannister's rule and rose into a rebellion in order to have the upper hand in exterminating them.
Tywin did not do anything to his father at that time since he knew that he would not have the support of the other lords if he removed his father without making them fear him.
