-Location: Kings landing, Crownlands-
-Date: Early 117 AC-
-POV: Narrator-
The atmosphere in kings landing has been one of joy and celebration. The prince, Rhaegar had improved their lives by an astonishing amount.
Thanks to the newly discovered sun stones, Kings landing has went through a change.
Rhaegar had the sun stones implanted into the bath house. So the way of heating the water had changed, and became much easier.
They had a clean water source and food was abundant. New jobs started to form, meaning a lot of workers.
Rhaegar also started the expansion of Kings landing. Currently they are starting small, so they took a small corner out of the furthest wall.
Right now, Rhaegar is sitting in his room with Laena. He had received some news of movements in the narrow sea.
"It seems like the Triarchy are trying to regain a foothold in Westeros." Said Rhaegar.
"You've already destroyed their foothold in the stepstones. What could they possibly want now?" Asked Laena as she played with the twins.
"Right they are scouting, but from my contacts all around the realm. It seems like they've been meeting someone." Said Rhaegar.
"With whom? You have eyes all of the realm. So I'm sure you know who they are meeting." Said Laena.
"I have an idea, but I'll let's this play out. I know it sounds stupid but I need to see where this is going." Said Rhaegar.
"I'll send a message to some of my contacts on Essos. I have a some people in the Triarchy watching." Said Rhaegar.
"When did you do that? I don't recall you having any friends in Essos." Said Laena.
"I don't have friends my love. They are allies and men I pay to do work for me. The only people I consider my friends are Ser Gerald and my uncle." Said Rhaegar.
"Oh? What about me?" Asked Laena as she sat on Rhaegar's lap.
"You my love, are my best friend. The love of my life, and the mother of my beautiful girls." Said Rhaegar as he kissed Laena.
While our main character indulged in some family time. His enemies are plotting.
-POV: Otto Hightower-
-Location: Casterly Rock, Westerlands-
Lord Jason Lannister had called for a meeting. Apparently he had came into contact with the Triarchy and made a deal.
It's something I would do, but you can't trust those Triarchy filth. So I wonder what kind of deal they made.
I walk into the meeting room, and see Lord Jason and Lord Bolton. Another man that is apart of our rebellion.
That's exactly what it is, and if this fails. History will know it as such.
Now lord Bolton is here because he felt humiliated by Prince Rhaegar during our stay in the north. To be honest, lord Bolton is fucking idiot.
His question i remember. He asked if the firewyrm actually exists. And the princes rebuttal was flawless.
As mush as I hate the Prince, he is brilliant. But his distaste for my house makes me uncomfortable.
And now he's even turned my own daughter against me. Alicent hasn't spoken to me in four moons, I can't even see my grandchildren.
And since she's the queen, her word takes more precedence over mine. So the kings guard refuse to let me speak to her.
That's why I'am here now. To free her from the dragons mouth.
"Please come in Ser Otto. Me and lord Bolton have been speaking." Said Lord Jason.
"Now that's you're here, we can discuss the more important matters." Said Lord Bolton.
He's a man of a few words, hopefully he doesn't get any bright ideas. He's but a pawn in this game.
"So? Any new players?" I asked while sitting.
"The Triarchy said they'd give us about 25,000 men. What they want is a strong foothold in our lands." Said Lord Jason.
Hmm, it's not a bad deal. But they are barbaric so we'll have to watch them when this is all over, and Aegon sits the throne.
"What about the lords here in the westerland's?" I asked.
"All lords are under our control. They will fight for us. All together the westerlands have about 50,000 men." Said Lord Jason.
That's good, 75,000 men at our disposal. This might be a force to be reckoned with.
"And you lord Bolton?" I asked.
I don't expect him to have any men. Every lord in the north is loyal to house Stark. And the prince himself had fought their war with them, so it's impossible for those stubborn lords to turn.
"I've secretly ventured beyond the wall and made contact with one of a wildling chief. He has about 10,000 men under his command. So all together it's 85,000 soldiers." Said Lord Bolton.
I may have underestimated this man's intelligence. This was foolish on my behalf.
"What's your name my lord?" I asked.
"Royce Bolton, Ser Otto." Said Lord Royce.
I nod and began my own story.
"Most lords in the reach have sided with me, and some houses in the riverlands. The river lords on my side have a combined 12,000 men. And the reach has a combined 35,000 men. Making a total of 132,000 men at our disposal." I said.
132,000 men.
That's one of the largest armies in the history of Westeros. But it still not enough. The prince is friendly, so he has a lot of allies.
Some of my spies have said he has an alliance with the free cities. An alliance with all nine cities is something we can't match.
Not to mention he has the banners of the entire north, the Dornish, the Crownlands, the stormlands, the Vale. The majority of the riverlands, and some of the houses in the reach.
He could have an army well past the hundreds of thousands. This isn't going to be an easy war. But if we take out time, and wait until my grandchildren are fully grown, we'll have dragon riders.
"Over a hundred thousand men. This will be a dangerous war. Many lives will be lost." Said Lord Jason.
"They will not be in vain. Once we win, they will be remembered as heroes." Said Lord Royce.
Good. It's nice to have like minded people around me.
-Scene Change-
-Few Weeks later-
Rhaegar was currently in the training area with Igris. The boy had proved to be a quick learner. Picking up the art of the sword very quickly.
He still only speaks high Valyrian, but he knows a few words in the common language.
"Sȳz, lua bē se pace(Good, keep up the pace)." Said Rhaegar in High Valyrian.
The boy continued his assault. Rhaegar easily defeated himself, but their wooden sword could be heard throughout the training area.
They had many observers, so Igris wanted to do his best. For some reason, this man had changed his life.
So being anything but the best wasn't an option for him. Being able to serve his prince was something that made him happy.
"Sȳz igris, lua going. Show issa aōha talent! (Good Igris, keep going. Show me your talent!)" Yelled Rhaegar.
"Kessa issa prince!(Yes my prince!)" yelled Igris.
Igris dashed at Rhaegar, intending to hit him with a downward swing. Rhaegar caught the sword with his hand, and tripped him.
Rhaegar threw the sword and went to help Igris up.
"Go clean yourself and change into some clean clothes. We have an important guest coming today." Said Rhaegar in common.
Igris looked confused but stood there and thought for a moment.
"Y-you asked me t-to clean myself?" Said Igris with a think valyrian accent.
"Yes, you did good." Said Rhaegar as he walked away.
Rhaegar returned to his room. There he could see Laena reading some messages from Driftmark.
"Hello my love." Said Rhaegar as he kissed his wife.
"And hello my other two loves." Said Rhaegar as he picked up both of his daughters.
"I just bathed them. Go clean yourself now." Said Laena as she complained.
"Okay." Said Rhaegar as he sat his daughters down.
Soon as he did that two blurs flew towards the babes. These were the twins dragons, Moondancer and Morning.
One was a beautiful teal color while the other was a bright pink.
Rhaegar removed his cloths and started a bath. He took a sun stone and dropped it into the water, which quickly began to heat up.
Thanks to his body, he can resist the immense heat coming from the stones. So he didn't have any problems.
If anyone else tried to touch the stones they'd burn themselves.
"So, what did your father say?" Asked Rhaegar.
"He said that the Triarchy ships haven't made any moves. But he kept a few ships at sea to watch them." Said Laena.
"That's good, any word from Rhaenyra?" Asked Rhaegar.
"Yes, she says that little Jace is a very loud cryer. She said she can't wait for Baela and Rhaena to see them again." Said Laena.
"Good, it's almost time for her to have another child. In a few months I'll go to Driftmark and give her your brother seed." Said Rhaegar.
(A/n: I re-read this after i finished the chapter and omg this sounds so gross😂)
"That's good. But when are we having our third child?" Asked Laena.
"You want more?" Asked Rhaegar.
"Yes I do, I love being a mother. I also want all my children to be around the same age." Said Laena.
"We could try again. I do have to keep my promise to Lord Martell. I have a feeling our next two children will be boys." Said Rhaegar.
"Oh? What's makes you so sure?" Asked Laena.
"Because I'm outnumbered." Said Rhaegar as he laughed.
Laena stood up and leaned on the rim of the tub.
"Well, I do want some boys. Igris makes me want to have boys. He's such a sweet boy. He a very protective of the twins." Said Laena.
"Well, that's his job from now on. He is their sworn shield. His sons will be and their sons after." Said Rhaegar.
"I know, but treat him well Rhaegar. He looks up to you. I can see it in his eyes." Said Laena.
"I'll treat him like a son. Obviously he won't inherit anything from me. But he'll become a noble that serves only house Targaryen and Velaryon." Said Rhaegar.
"Good. Now let's make our own sons." Said Laena as she got into the tub with her clothes on.
-Few Hours Later-
In a private room in the red keep. Rhaegar and a few of his subordinates were meeting with someone.
Saera Targaryen.
"So you came here because you made fast progress on the task I gave you?" Asked Rhaegar.
"Yes, almost every lord and prince has jumped on board. All of the free cities have agreed. Yi Ti has agreed. But obviously there are some who haven't." Said Saera.
"And these people are?" Asked Rhaegar with an intrigued expression.
"The Horse lords of the Dothraki have refused. They said themselves that you need to make an appearance yourself, and prove yourself. The Slave Lords have also refused, and the people from Asshai have ignored us." Said Saera.
Rhaegar nodded and sighed. He knew getting them on his side wasn't going to be easy. The Dothraki and Asshai is easy to deal with.
But the slave lords of Slavers Bay will be an issue. But he's got an idea.
He'll go the khaleesi route and win over the slaves.
"Don't worry, when I have some time. I'll go over to Essos and deal with them. Just keep our current forces at bay. Now, out of all the lords and princes. Pick 8 others that can be trusted worthy. The Prince of Pentos is honorable, so he should be the first pick." Said Rhaegar.
"I'll do that, now I'll go see mother. She's getting worse by the day. I don't know how long she has left." Said Saera.
Rhaegar nodded and sat in the room for a bit. It seems like he'll have to kill some people.
"I guess I'll prepare." Said Rhaegar as he stood up and left.
The World will remember the conquest of Essos. And the man who dared to take on such a task.
