Kapitel 6: Chapter 4: Small Council's Reaction
"BASTARD!!!" she yelled and left.
As i sat down i could not help but seeth in anger as i thought of my losses and worst of all is i cannot complain to the iron throne as i am not supposed to have these ships so i am forced to swallow this insult but what is dead may never die.
Another interesting report that i got was the reaction of the small council and the stag king on both finding out about me and sparta and on both the battles between me and Balon and his subordinate Lord Triston Farwynd, to say that the stag king was an idiot who only thought of drinking, fucking and fighting was an understatement.
Flashback
Ser Barristan Selmy POV:
I had been informed by the hand of the king Lord Arryn and the maester of whispers Varys that i needed to request king Robert to attend the small council meeting urgently as he had several urgent matters to report. I quickly learned that the kinng was again up to his vices when i walked up to his chambers and saw several palace maids exit his chambers in a hurry while Robert drank fully naked by his chamber doors laughing as he just finished his cup.
"My lord your presence is required at the small council urgently by both lord hand and lord Varys!" I informed King Robert. "Blasted seven hells what is it this time? I was about to prepare for a hunt!" Complained King Robert. "I do not know your grace, but something must have happened for both lord hand and lord varys to request your presence urgently." I replied "Varys be dammed, but i very wel can't ignor John, let me get dressed." Replied Robert. a couple of moments later King Robert exited his chambers dressed and said. "Let's go Selmy, Kingslayer, lets see what the blasted hell is going on."
Ten minutes later.
The party of three arrived at the small council chamber "Let's go Selmy, Kingslayer guard the door!" said King Robert as he stepped in the chamber with Selmy, they both did not notice the frown on Jaime Lanisters face; " Laugh while you can you bloated stag, i will have the last laugh when my son sit on the throne, not that you will ever know." he thought as he smirked.
Robert Baratheon POV:
"Alright this had better be important Varys of i wil crack some skulls with my hammer!" i stated. "I asure you Robert, you will want to know this." Replied John Arryn. " Alright, alright out with it then spider!" I demanded as i sat down at the head of the table. "Yes your grace" Replied Varys.
"Your grace the first piece of news i have concerns the Targaryen siblings across the narrow sea, it appears Viserys Targaryen is planning something but my little birds will need more time to find out what he is planning exactly your grace." Reported varys.
"Bbbaahhh, a dragon spawn begger prince with no penny to his name and no allies to support him is of little concern, although i regret not being able to kill them myself with my hammer, send some men after them no matter the price and i this the so urgent business you needed me here for?" I said fuming at the mention of the Targaryen name.
"No your grace this was merely the first piece of news, the most amazing piece of news is that my little birst told me that we have recently found that the poisonous fog covering the sunset sea has dispersed and a new island the sise of skagos has been confirmed to have been found, not only that your grace it seems that Lord Triston Farwynd found this out before anyone else and surpressed the news hoping to claim it for his own in order to undermine Lord Balon Greyjoy and use the resources of the island to become the new lord of the Iron islands but.. " Said Varys to the amazement of everyone in the small council including John Arryn. " But what Spider, out with it!" i demanded for him to continue.
"But it appears there is a large kingdom of very skilled warriors present on the island, Your Grace, a kingdom called Sparta who's king apperantly acording to the reports of my little birds on the iron islands used just 500 men and a handfull of farmers armed with bows to utterly destroy the army of Lord Triston Farwynd that consisted of over 1900 men without suffering a single loss, Lord Triston Farwynd died apperantly in a one on one duel with this unknow king who killed him in a single move." reported Varys and again the small council was shocked at this information.
"Are they enemies to the crown?" Asked John Arryn worried that they might be as the crown could ill afford another war, especially one with a unknown enemy. "They better know their place my hammer is itching for a fight" I said after recovering from the information Varys said. "Well first you should lose some weight Robert!" Joked John to lighten the mood causing me to laugh "Hahahah that's the spirit john" I said.
"So far, no my lord hand, they merely retaliated in defence other than that they made another move that i have to report that allowed us to uncover something about the iron islands." reported Varys. "Please continue lord Varys." Said John.
"My lord hand it seems this unknown king send one of his subordinants to deliver a prisoner along with a gift in the form of the head of Lord Triston Farwynd to Lord Balon Greyjoy allong with a message and when Lord Balon Greyjoy learnd of the gift and the message he grew enraged, but not for Lord Triston Farwynd as he split the man's head in half in his rage but he became like that due to the message." said varys. "Continue Varys, don't stop midway again" I said anoyed at his slow pace.
"Your grace the message was as follows, he told the boy and i quote: "YOU BOY, WIL BE MY MENSSENGER TO BALON, TELL HIM HE HAS LOST HIS RIGHT TO THE SEAS BY NOT CONTROLING HIS MEN AND THAT ANY SHIP FROM HIS HOUSE OR ANY OTHER UNDER HIS BANNERMEN IN THE SUNSET SEA WILL BE DESTROYED AND SENT TO THEIR PATHETIC DROWNED GOD THIS I PROMICE HIM, NOW AWAY WITH YOU!" apperantly lord Balon was so enraged by this he launched half of his iron fleet that he was prohibited from rebuilding after this unknown kings subordinant but this unknown king was expecting Lord Balon to react as such and ordered to ambush the ironborn if they went in pursuit and the result was as surviving Ironborn a slaughter of legendary proportions, apparantly of the fifty ships that went in pursuit only seven returned, they had surrounded the subordinant in the storm of last month but did not noticed that they were surrounded themselves under the cover of the storm and that they were outnumbered six ships to one. Also according to the survivors their ships were larger, faster and better equiped than any they had seen before they were outmatched both in long range fighting and especially close range fighting when they rammed into ironborn ships they split them in half on impact. Truely a naval battle for the legends." Reported Varys "Hahah Glorious, i would have loved to been a part of cracking some ironborn skulls, serves them right!" I said.
"Very Impressive skills indeed." Said Lord Stannis Baratheon inpressed by Yi Sun Bin's naval command abilities.
"Brother, like you i also don't have any love for the ironborn but they still are your subjects it's not appro..."Said Lord Renly Baratheon only for me to interupt him "Piss on that Renly, they are reaving scum, and they broke my command by rebuilding their Iron fleet, that reminds me john send that cunt Balon a warning, i want his ships gonne of i will end his house by finishing what he started." I said
"That reminds me your grace, while my little birds were unable to find out the name of this unknown king they were able to find out about what the call him on the battlefield." Said Varys. "And what is that Spider?" I asked. "The wolf king of Sparta." said Varys.
"Oh great another wolf!" said Lord Petyr Baelish annoyed. i grew irritated at little finger and yelled out "SHUT UP LITTLE FINGER, or i will give you a bigger beating than Brandon did." "Now, Now Robert, calm down." said John who was also surprised at this name like the rest of the small council.
"So John what is our best course of action, how to we proceed about with this?" I asked John but surprisingly it was Grand maester Pycelle the blithering bag of old bones who answered. "We should first see what faith they follow, i doubt they would like another kingdom at our borders like the North that follow anything other than the faith of the seven and if so maybe we should call al seven of the kingdoms and force them under the crown." i was growing tired of him talking but he did make some sence. "Well John?" i asked.
"Robert we absolutelly cannot attack them for only having a different faith, not only are we still recovering from the Greyjoy rebellion, not to mention the crowns coffers can't afford another war with this unknown kingdom especially if it becomes a drawn out one. Not to mention we have we have to take into account what the other lords wil do like Tywin Lanister and Doran Martel and especially Lady Olena Tyrell the queen of thorns she will definitely wil try to make friends with this unknown king, our best course of action is to form a diplomatic relation and a trade allience with this Unknown kingdom called Sparta." He explained. "Heh counting coppers John but fine we wil do it your way." i said.
"Anithing else to report spyder?" I asked. "No your grace." replied Varys "Alright John i wil leave you to it, i am going hunting, let's go Selmy." I said and walked to the stables to get ready.
