" one billion gold coins ! And one year worth of grain supply!!!" Maester Walys screamed in shock as he fell on the floor.
Everyone present in the room looked with shock at Severus as he announced Elijah's offer for Skagos and Skane. Maester Walys was having problems breathing still trying to digest what he has just now heard.
Even Rickard showed a rare expression of shock on his face.
" Are you sure you wanna pay this much boy?" Rickard questioned Severus.
" Skagos and Skane is a huge territory and is colder than most of the north and is infested with cannibles" Rickard warned Severus.
There was also the issue of that there were still the houses of Stane ,Magnar and Crowl who were ruling the land for the north.
" We are well aware of the circumstances of Skagos and Skane my lord.
However we also know that the three noble houses have died off due to constant attacks from the cannibles.
We wish for you to give us this land so that we can make it our new home."
Narcissa spoke up softly from her side.
Her voice sounds musical because of her accent.
" I will consider the offer, however you mentioned about home Lady Narcissa.
I thought that your true home is in Esos am I wrong to think that my lady?" Rickard asked looking at both of them trying to pry for information.
If all the three houses are already dead then there is chance that the Boltons will try and conquer the land and he will be damned if he let the Boltons gain more power.
As history as always proved that the moment that the Boltons gain power they rebel against House Stark and Rickard can absolutely not let that happen.
" We both are one of the last remaining members from both of our houses Lord Stark.
House Dragoneel and House Belarion were the first families in Valyria who tamed the dragons.
It was us who taught the other forty families of the freehold.
Before two centuries of the doom both our families along with some of our vassals left the freehold to travel and discover new lands.
We sailed even beyond Sothorys to never seen before lands.
When we came to know about the doom, we chose to remain there as we had long ago parted ways from the freehold.
Our families never liked the freehold 's habit to wage wars continously for no reasons other than to fulfill their egos so we decided to be on ourselves.
Our line may not be as ancient as yours Lord Stark but we still are the first Dragon lords.
With a recent pandemic that got loose over there we had no other options other than coming back to Esos.
We need Skagos and Skane so that we can build a new home for us and our loyal vassals who had always followed us over the years" Narcissa said softly earning gasps from both the Maester and Lord Stark.
