The last leader of House Velaryon had a total of 4 sons and 7 daughters, among them, Lord Léo Velaryon was the fourth youngest son. When the lord died, and his heir, the first son took over House Velaryon, it was also the same year that the Targaryens had their vision about the end of Valyria.
Due to the first son's close relationship with Daenys the Dreamer's father, he decided to believe in the terrible prophecy and followed them to Westeros. The second son supported the decision of the new Velaryon heir and also left Valyria.
By their own choice, only the fourth son Lord Léo, and his third brother who always had conflicts with him remained in the Freehold. Left behind with only a few possessions and ships, the two had to fight tooth and nail to avoid being devoured by the other Valyrian noble families, who saw them only as an easy target. The fact that they survived, and even prospered in the Frankish city after a decade, proves the value of the two brothers as excellent sea warriors and leaders.
Having the smallest fleet among the 2 remaining sons, Lord Leo also only had 2 legitimate daughters in his marriage before his wife passed away, this not only placed Lord Leo as the youngest son, but also the only one among the 2 brothers without a male heir. This was why Lord Leo valued his bastard son Omar so much. This caused many rumors to arise about the possibility of his bastard being recognized as a legitimate son and becoming his father's heir. But this was just a rumor, there were others who said that Lord Leo was just kind and cared for the bastard because he had loved his mother very much, a commoner who died during Omar's birth. But there was much more to this story that only those involved knew…
After leaving his house and walking for a few minutes, Rafael arrived at an elegant two-story house painted navy green. The place was in the same area as his own house and stood out for its larger size than the other houses. The only two places in this poor neighborhood that stood out for having 2 or more floors and occupying more than 1 plot of land were the local tavern and the neighborhood guard headquarters.
I climbed a side staircase that took me to the second floor of the house, grabbed a spare key hidden in a crack, then unlocked the door and went straight to my friend's room. It was already past noon, and I saw the bastard lying between two naked girls. Next to the bed on top of a wooden cabinet I saw 2 empty wine jugs and one of water. I grabbed a mug, filled it with water and threw it in his face while he was still sleeping.
—Wake up Omar!
"What the hell?"
He wakes up startled and his loud voice wakes the two girls too, they scream when they see me and start hiding the important parts, while they try to get dressed to leave the room. I don't change the direction of my gaze and ensure a good view of their bodies and Valyrian beauties, one of them even does everything sensually and slowly as if trying to attract me to be her "first" client of the day. Omar has also gotten up and put on some pants, he has all the features of a Velaryon; silver hair, violet pupils, tanned brown skin and his beard is very full unlike mine, and our heights are similar. After putting on a shirt and shoes he turns to me and asks in frustration:
"What happened? It's still so early and you wake me up like that…"
—You bastard… It's already past noon, how is it early? We have a lot of things to do today, and while you slept comfortably here I was beaten almost to death by your two friends from the Golden Cloths.
Omar finally has a serious look and asks:
"Are you okay? I don't see any injuries, what did they do?"
—The two surrounded me near Goulen Street, the rat-faced one had a knife and tried to stab me in the abdomen, luckily I had my coin purse where the knife hit, otherwise I would have bled to death in that alley.
"Sons of bitches, since when did those two become so bold as to try to commit murder? Have you had lunch? Let's eat something first and then we'll get revenge on those two."
I take advantage of the fact that the two girls have already left and answer:
—Something big is about to happen in Valyria, we must leave this place as soon as possible, since the time we have is very short we must put revenge aside for now. Let's have lunch first…
"Squeak"
Before I could finish speaking a third girl makes a noise as she comes out of the bathroom behind me.
—Good morning boys.
She has the same Valyrian beauty as the other two young women, but with the extra charm and allure of a mature woman.
I reply to his good morning, while giving Omar a serious look. In my thoughts, I don't know whether to be in awe of him, or worried about his audacity in taking all three at once. One thing I'm sure of... The bastard is living the life of a king.
—I know why the Brown brothers are so bold, their father was seen two nights ago drinking and celebrating a large slave supply contract for all the mines in area 11. The woman answers.
"Hm? But their father doesn't even work in that area, how did he get the contract preference over the other slave owners?"
After Omar's question I quickly think about area 11 mentioned by the whore, and I remember that all the mines are divided into 14 areas and there must be at least 2 families extracting metals from area 11. In areas 11 and 12 there was a huge group whose name I don't remember now. Taking care of the supply of so many slaves guarantees not only an enormous amount of wealth, but also a certain power and authority in the city.
—About the preference, it seems that he recently identified and helped arrest some faceless men who were operating in and around Area 11, after which he made a deal with a minor slave owner buying his operation that wasn't going very well.
After finishing the sentence, she looks at me and says:
—Sir…?
I answer:
—My name is Rafael, and you, miss?
"My name is Madame Liza, you can just call me Liza or Liz if you prefer."
She says this giving me a sensual look up and down almost as if evaluating me. Omar has a mocking look on his face as he observes our brief introduction.
—So, Mister Rafael, what would be this "big" event you were talking about? To the point of making Omar leave the city so urgently with you… I gave you some valuable information that I got from my mother about the two Brown brothers, so if you could clarify what they were talking about before I left the bathroom I would be very grateful.
Omar also looks at me with doubt on his face. I look at Madame Liza and say: Okay, come have lunch with us and I will tell you what I can, but remember that it is up to you whether you will believe it or not.
(Curiosities of Valyria part 2: The 14 flames are a group of dormant volcanoes, in the surroundings of these volcanoes there are 14 mines where most of the Valyrian gold is extracted by their many slaves. The control of these 14 mines by the 40 families is determined by the power that each family has as well as their Dragon Lords.)
