Three days had passed since Harry learned that King Robert's caravan had arrived at Moat Cailin, out of politeness all the lords who were called to Winterfell were outside it with their respective families to welcome Robert. They had nothing against the king, but in the north he was not respected, the only reason they were here was because Harry ordered them, making Robert think that he was still king was one of the points that the north had to attack the most, making him believe that the whole world was rosy for the stag. It had been seven years since they had seen Robert and according to rumors, the man had been carried away by food, prostitutes, and alcohol. They were not going to complain, Robert was one of the biggest buyers that the North had, which made the debt of the crown with the North increase, each of the lords was accompanied by their relatives, and Harry was in front of everyone with his four wolves, his wife, mother and sisters, the only one who was not there was Lyanna who was surely hiding since she was not interested in meeting the new king and his stupid son, with whom the king wanted to force her to marry. When Robert sent a letter to make a commitment between his eldest son and Lyanna, Harry almost exploded, his sister was going to choose her destiny, she was going to choose who she was going to marry, in the family the only one who had an arranged commitment was Arya GreyStark, but she was the only one and because she knew that Tywin was going to educate her last grandson well, then Arya was an extremely manipulative and skillful girl, she was not the typical princess in danger if it was necessary to use the sword the girl was capable of using it, very different from her older sister who was forced to do this kind of things. Sansa was everything Harry hated in a woman, she thought the world was a field of flowers, and it wasn't true, wanting to marry Prince Joffrey was just a sign of her stupidity, the boy killed a cat by opening its stomach to see its babies, he wasn't going to allow anyone from the north to be engaged to that kind of person, if Harry didn't know exactly what the person was like and why they wanted a commitment it was impossible to accept it, everything went through Harry's hands, so it was difficult for the south to make progress through marriage. -"No one kneels." - All the lords heard Harry's words as he watched the caravan arrive. None of the lords said anything, but their heirs had to learn several things. First, the North does not kneel before anyone who is not a Stark. It was the only house that dominated this kingdom through fighting. The Targaryens had their dragons, but now that was no longer a nuisance to the North. Aslan...
The white wolf howled and his howl was answered by that of a wolf that looked younger. Many lords smiled. It seemed that Lyanna was going to be upset at being forced to participate in this reception. The first to arrive at the place were the GreyStarks. They were leading the caravan. Ned saw his nephew's serious look. He was already imagining what he was planning and he was not going to be able to do anything to change it. Having all the lords in this place was because there was something Harry wanted to do, a political move that was extremely good for the North, but it was going to hit the Southerners hard, and it was going to bring annoyance mainly to Jon who throughout the trip had a look of annoyance at everything he was seeing. The only one of the GreyStark family who felt uncomfortable when she saw her cousin was Sansa, Harry was very hard on all his relatives and they themselves had to meet expectations since they had Stark blood running through their veins, Robb and Jon were good warriors, Jon was an excellent swordsman and Robb was very good at strategies, he always looked for the best way to win without losing resources and forcing the enemy to lose everything. But Sansa was a headache. -"No...Freya...no...I don't want to" – some lords smiled at the voice they were hearing, and saw how Lyanna was dragged from the break by her wolf, while her wolf pushed her from behind, seeing that she could no longer escape, she gave in and went to where her brother, sisters and mother were who gave her a not very pleasant look.
-"Princess Lyanna, it's only a few minutes." – Lady Mormont addressed Lyanna who looked at the woman and her two huge bears, just by looking at them she wanted to touch them, yes Lyanna was an animal lover, but before she could do anything, she heard the growl of Hades, Harry's black wolf – "I'm sure that if you do this, Lord Harry will show you what you are looking for."-
The caravan arrived in full, and what was once a king who could command respect, was transformed into a fat man, very fat, more than one of the lords held back their laughter as they should. The king got off his horse with difficulty since he needed the help of a stool so as not to fall, all with a serious look that contrasted with what was happening. Robert, upon getting off, walked quickly to where Harry was and stood in front of him, as if he wanted to influence fear or something like that, all before the eyes of all those present who watched the scene with several different points of view. Jon could not believe that Harry did not kneel before his king, it was a complete lack of respect to the crown that had to be punished in some way, Tywin was looking around, Winterfell was undoubtedly much larger than he thought. And then Cersei appeared, Robert's wife, the supposed most beautiful woman of all, who had her own brother as a lover, it was a rumor, but rumors are not born just for being born, they always have a source and a reason.
-"You have grown, now you look like a man." - Robert looked at Harry, if when he was 18 he already had presence, now at 25 it was much more noticeable, and he realized it even if he ignored all the comments that were said to him about being a true king - "I see that Winterfell has changed, a lot since the last time I came to this place."-
-"I take care of my kingdom, every ruler must do so." - Harry with simple words made something clear, this was his kingdom and not Robert's, he was not king in this place, just a stranger and nothing more, it was something that all the northerners adored about Harry, he always made clear with words what was happening in the place.
-"Very well, take me to the crypt, I want to pay my respects." – Robert gave an order, which all the lords saw as an insult because a Southerner was going to touch the crypt of Winterfell where the most respected people of the north were, coming from the Stark family.
-"Only the Starks can enter the crypt." – A female voice caught everyone's attention, Princess Lyanna spoke, until now she tried to hide, but her curiosity got the better of her, and she didn't like what she saw, what kind of king was this guy, his soldiers, all of them shone in gold, what kind of respect were they going to have with that kind of armor, their horses were very small, the only soldier that was different was one with black armor – "Nobody who doesn't have Stark blood can step into the crypt."-
-"You must be little Lyanna, Ned told me about you, the jewel of the north," – Robert looked at Lyanna, just mentioning her name gave him a small bit of happiness in his painful life, which he had to go through without his flower of the north – "but I am the king... I can afford to go visit the crypt."-
-"No Robert, you cannot enter the crypt." – Harry gave his final verdict, which made the king stand up and go to stand in front of Harry, so far Robert ignored everyone, it was true that his best friend was Eddard GreyStark, but he did not show respect to anyone else, he did not even greet Harry's mother or his wife - they do not show education to the living, king or not, they do not show education to the dead.
-"I am your king…" – Robert looked angrily at Harry, he wanted to see the statue of his beloved Lyanna, and Harry in response took two steps to stand in front of Robert, the king was 1.80 meters tall, a man big enough to intimidate anyone, but Harry was taller, as well as being a little corpulent, not too much but he did have the bearing to intimidate any man, and more so with his 2.05 height - "show me where the crypt is."-
-"I'm about to show you your blood." – Harry with that statement, made Robert's guards remove their swords since it was a threat to the king of the seven kingdoms, but that did not matter to Harry or anyone from the north who only looked at Robert defiantly – "If you do not want to die, lower your swords, and as good guests follow the rules of the north."-
The royal knights didn't know what to do, they had to protect their king from all evil, it was their job, but they were hesitating, the only one who was not hesitating about this was Jaime Lannister, he was always curious to know who was the man who earned his father's respect, that Tywin didn't say anything right now was because he treated Harry as an equal, it was said that the wolf had the same military capacity as lions, and he was believing why. Just seeing those wild animals next to some lords was something to take into account, especially those wolves that were in front of everyone, who were as docile as if they were pets. Jaime got off his horse and stood in the middle of everyone, if there was a fight he wanted to be in the front row so he could cut someone's head off, he had anger built up, he hated Robert for how he treated his beloved sister, but he couldn't do anything to him, the king and more knowing that his father didn't care how they treated his daughter now that he had his heir, that made him quite angry, and since he had so much appreciation for the Northerners, a fight wouldn't be bad. Mya stuck her spear into the ground when she saw Jaime Lannister who was standing there waiting for something, his hand was touching his sword, so it was going to give him the chance to take it away if someone made a move. So Mya acted by sticking her spear into the ground completely drawing the attention of all the Southerners including Robert, who realized that all his guards were on alert, Harry didn't stop looking at him for a second but still took his sword which made Robert pay attention to the Stark again since he thought he was going to attack. The Valyrian steel sword Ice, was the largest sword among the ancestral swords of all the houses that owned a Valyrian sword, and that Harry took such a heavy sword with only one hand demonstrated the strength he possessed. The lord of the Stark house stuck the sword in the ground, very close to Robert's right foot who watched as the sword almost wounded him in the leg. Without a doubt, it was a tension that Jon Arryn was willing to use against Harry to get him out of the way and thus be able to have control of the north as it should be.
-"You try to give me orders, and your men draw their swords in my kingdom, you more than anyone should know that the rules of the North are unbreakable." - Harry looked at King Robert who knew that very well, the Northerners respected the rule that the north promulgates, for a simple example, the ancient Gods were revered in the North, so it was better that a sect of the new Gods did not step foot in the north or they would be killed - "Because I know the way to make you understand things Robert."-
-"Give us space, we will settle this like men." – Robert had a smile on his face, how long had it been since he was challenged, he himself realized that he was fat, but he did it out of boredom, no one wanted to fight him, he was the king, who was going to challenge him, in all the kingdoms he went to no one challenges him – "It has been a long time since anyone had the balls to challenge me."-
-"Robert, you are the king."- Jon tried to say something, but Robert had that smile on his face, he loved battles, if it were up to him he would not be king, he always complained that in the jousts the king could not participate, since whoever was going to beat the king was undoubtedly shit.
-"Shut up Jon, it's been a while since I had a fight." - Robert removed his sword, and picked up his sword from the ground, the northern lords only smiled at this, in the north no one had beaten Harry, the boy trained every day, because he was the man who had to protect the North, not the North protecting him.
Harry walked up to Robert who was prepared for a fight, and with a single clash of both swords, Robert's sword fell to the ground from the force with which Harry's sword hit his, but things were not going to end there for either of them, although the spectators were surprised. Harry stuck his sword in the ground, and punched Robert in the face who fell to the ground, not content with that, he grabbed the king on the ground by the neck to raise his head a little and give him three accurate punches that broke Robert's nose and knocked out two of his teeth that everyone could see. When the Baratheon spat blood, Harry stood up as if nothing had happened, leaving his point high, king or not, in the North they did what he dictated, Harry's gaze was directly at Jon and his royal council who also came to the place, all of them were his potential enemies at a political level, because militarily they were trash for him, and politically they could be considered a danger since they were members of the royal council, stupid but they were dangerous, that's why this spectacle served so much purpose.
-"I don't understand how you put up with it, it feels good to hit him, you can try." - Harry looked directly at the queen, Cersei could not hide the pleasure she felt seeing this scene, she always wanted to see him like that, humiliated before the people, for the whole world to see the humiliation of the powerful king Robert Baratheon - "In a council that you have to take into account."-
-"How dare you hit my father!" – everyone turned their gaze to Robert Baratheon's eldest son, Prince Joffrey Baratheon, the child got off his white horse, and angrily went to where Harry was, but his grandfather stood in front.
-"Children should not get involved, the problems of adults." – Tywin looked reproachfully at his grandson and got off the horse to go to where Harry was, the lion and the wolf looked at each other attentively and as a sign of respect, they shook hands – "I apologize Lord Stark, the crown did not behave as it should, and more so in the kingdom to which we owe a large amount of gold."-
Tywin said something extremely intelligent, the crown owed a large amount of gold to the Stark family and therefore to the North, they could not complain either, since even so the North was the kingdom that paid the most to the crown. So in this small visit to the North, both parties had to come to an agreement to see how they could pay the North for that gold that the crown did not have in its possession. Tywin looked at this opportunity more than anything because it would allow him to get Jon Arryn out of the way and thus have complete control of the royal council and therefore the kingdom, since he was sure that Robert wouldn't mind as long as they let him fuck whores, eat and drink wine like he did every day, as long as he can do that, the Hand of the King can do whatever he wants with the kingdom, something that Jon did not take advantage of, because the only thing he focused on was being able to stop the advances of the North, he only saw the North as the main enemy, a real idiot, since militarily it was true the North was dangerous, but politically there were the Tyrells and the Martells who prowled around King's Landing like vipers waiting for the moment to sink their teeth into it and be able to get them out of the way.
Margaery analyzed the whole situation, almost everything went as planned, Robert was going to react because he was denied entry to the crypt and could not see the tomb of his beloved Lyanna, Harry was going to hit him and make things clear, with that he earned a little help from Cersei Lannister, they were aware that she and Robert did not have the best marriage in the seven kingdoms, so this show served to have a future conversation. Then Tywin made clear what was happening with the crown's debt to the kingdom, it was a team effort, a little less than a month ago, before the North invited the crown to Winterfell to talk about some matters, Tywin said that he was not very happy that the heir to the throne was Joffrey, his attitude was intolerable. So an interesting idea came to the table for both sides, Tywin had as heir Tommen; the youngest son of Cersei and Robert supposedly, who was engaged to Arya GreyStark, it was an interesting idea, he knew that Tommen was going to be an excellent husband since he is taught by his uncle Tyrion he loved his wife madly, just like Tywin did with his late wife. So, it was put into question, changing a few things, Tommen Baratheon king of Westeros and Arya GreyStark queen of the seven kingdoms.
-"I think it's your turn Margaery." - Ashara whispered to her daughter-in-law who looked closely at her victim, Margaery Stark, the rose that became a wolf, all the lords knew the ease of verbal manipulation of the queen of the north - "Cersei is all yours."-
