Chapitre 31: Salt Wives and Help to the North
Robert looked at the Kid and agreed: Any proposal for this.
Adrián: If my lord I would like to take all the wives of Sal and Slaves, and reinstall him on the Island of my house, they will have a decent life and paid work and all the care that can be given.
Jon Arryn spoke: It's a good idea, I visited your island, your people Adrián, he is happy with your government and ordinances, I saw what you call Hospitals and you treat little people without charging them a single copper star.
You are a person with great honor and I know you will keep your word, but there are several thousand people, you will be able to feed them and offer them the same houses as in the city, include their children in your other establishments, I ask.
Everyone was surprised, the boy had healers who healed his people without charge, it was something never heard before, Ned was surprised the boy had a love for his people.
Adrián: yes Lord Arryn, I can offer all those people home, hot meals, and a decent job, everyone knows how much I hate certain topics especially piracy, slavery, and prostitution.
By my word, everyone was surprised, even Lord Arryn. Wait Child, on your island there is not a single house of pleasure I ask?
Adrián: Not a single one, I closed them all and taught all those poor women new trades, to be honest, women-only resort to that for a few reasons, because their families need the money or because they were forced, on my island no one will resort to those practices because if they do, I will fail as their leader and fail my people.
Jon was happy with my answer, looking at me with pride just like Ned Stark and several northern lords, even Ser Barristan and Ser Jammie showed a hint of pride.
Adrián: then as for the Greyjoy, we have several options, first replace their house and put another house like Rodrik the reader, the man is against the old customs and is more of a merchant than a pirate, the second that they swear before you King Robert loyalty, the third is to limit the fleet by their houses, so they could never remake the iron fleet 10 ships per house, we all know that those people as soon as they loosen their leash they will return to the old customs.
Tywin: It's a good idea, limiting them will keep them under control and prevent them from disturbing the shops and continuing to attack the lands, also replacing Rodrik.
Jon agreed politically the plan was feasible, and quite simple and effective the boy understood politics and was fair to people.
Robert: Let's go with this Balon will swear allegiance and his fleet will be controlled, at the slightest indication of another nonsense they will be dismissed and replaced, Now boy wait a moment we are going to do something, you cannot be knighted because your faith is that of the Gods old, but your mother sent a letter that Dulan gave me.
The lords of the North were a little surprised, Someone from the south followed the faith of the North, something extremely rare among them since they preferred the Seven of the faith.
Robert: Child, your mother will leave you the lordship of your house. Hereby I Robert of House Baratheon first in my name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men Monarch of the Seven Kingdoms Grant you the Title of Lord of House Trant, Lord of the Gallowsgrey Isles.
Adrian knelt and said his vows: I, Adrian of House Trant, swear in His Majesty's name to serve King Robert Baratheon, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men monarch of the Seven Kingdoms.
Robert smiled at his oath and patted him on the back and burst out laughing, Well with that said boy I'll let you finish with the salt wives and slaves. Now the council dissolves and we prepare for battle.
Late at night Ned and Robert entered my Men's camp, with some of their Lords, Howland Reed, Great Jon Umber, and Jon Arryn, Ser Barristan, and I were playing a game of Chess. While we had a cup of apple and honey tea.
We had discussed plans for the attack on Old Wyk, we had to face Houses Stonehouse, Goodbrother of Broken Stone, and Drumm the most dangerous for his red rain Valyrian steel sword.
Dulan rage against Stonehouse Barristan vs. GoodBrother and me vs. Dunstan Drumm, they numbered between 4 to 8 thousand soldiers, with the minimum and maximum estimated being 2 thousand men from my house and. 5 thousand be Barristan.
we plan to start with a rain of arrows and continue with the combat formations of my house. Ned showed interest in the game along with Jon Arryn
Adrián: Welcome Gentlemen to my camp, please have a seat and have some drinks, unfortunately, I have the code that neither I nor my men will drink alcohol before a battle or during watch hours, you can enjoy the alcohol that we brought for guests, we will serve your meals, I hope you like them.
Robert laughed out loud and said he wanted to eat another one of the Burgers we made. Ned asked what it was and Robert explained that it was a delicious meal made with finely ground meat and a disc on a griddle between two buns and vegetables. We also serve vegetable soups and stews made from rabbit, wild boar meat, and various fruits and vegetables.
Everyone ate fascinated. I promised to send the recipes for the meals to each house.
Robert: Boy do you have a plan to invade Old Wyk?
Adrián: the plan is easy, each of the 3 will take the head of each house on the Island, I will go against Dunstan Drumm and his sons.
Robert turned pale the Drumm house had red rain a Valyrian steel weapon: Child you are going to fight against a Valyrian steel sword you cannot trust.
Adrian I know that's why I have this sword forged by Dulan and his friends: patting the sword that was in the scabbard.
Robert was surprised: Don't tell me they know how to forge that steel.
Adrián: No, they don't know, according to Elentary and the others, it is demonic steel, that one of the steps for its manufacture was magic and human souls, and not a few of us are talking about thousands.
Ned was surprised he was touching his Ice sword, he didn't know the story behind his weapon, Robert and Jon groaned, they didn't know that this steel they considered magnificent needed such bizarre things to forge.
Adrián: although there are thousands of more necessary steps that they do not know, Dulan forged this for me, I unsheathed the sword and everyone was surprised, a beautiful emerald green sword, similar to glass with beautiful gold engravings, they looked like trees, flowers, and leaves, its blade it seemed to give off a breath of life itself.
Robert could only say beautiful blade but what material is it.
Adrián: according to Dulan it is a mixture of meteorite steel that was forged more than 2000 times with different methods with emerald dust, then it was taken to a Heart Tree and allowed to soak for 2 whole years in its salvias. It is as strong as a diamond and will not dull or wear
Ned: you know it reminds me of the sword that my sister got in Harrenhal after an argument with my brothers, Ned sadly recalled, he still keeps it in the armory along with his armor, sometimes he goes and sharpens and polishes it himself.
Robert shed a few tears at the sound of his wolf's name.
Adrián: That's because both Lord Reed's armor and his sword as well as all the equipment of his Sister Lady Lyanna, were forged by Dulan and given to him, he had the intention of proposing to his father that he train in the art of sword with Elentary, Ashen's teacher. According to Dulan when he saw her dress up as a knight of the smiling tree and beat those 3 buffoons who called themselves knights, he had planned to train her.
All those present groaned a truth that no one knew was revealed to them, the greatest mystery of the 7 kingdoms, Robert began to laugh and said: HAHAHA a true warrior, Gods seriously as no one guessed, in his laughter, some tears ran, Ned was just as surprised, his sister had entered the joust and won
Ned: haha if it's something that Lyanna would have, I don't know why I never guessed.
Adrián: I think we should say to your health, By Lyanna Stark The Wolf of the North.
They all shouted to her Cheers, I put a hand on the King's back and clapped, Your Majesty easy, Lady Lyanna must be kicking all the butt she can find now, let's hope and pray that when we see her again she won't kick our asses to death.
Robert laughed: Hahaha boy you're right, she was scared when she got angry, thanks boy you're a good man
Adrián: That's what I try sir.
Ned looked surprised at the boy, he was quite good he had to admit, he had all the ideals of a Noble, but he was sharp and witty, he had a heart for his people and despised vile acts. I could see a marriage with little Sansa, she was only 3 years old and the boy was 10. But he had to convince Cat of that.
Adrián: If Lord Stark is one thing, the north lacks a food source, right?
Ned: Yes, Lord Trant, the truth is that the north lacks that capacity for food production and we have to buy from the Tullys and Tyrells.
Adrian: I think I can help with that, your majesty mind if I provide the North with plants and knowledge that we use on Gallowsgrey Island.
Robert: Boy go ahead, I support you if you can upgrade north.
Ned: Go ahead boy we will always thank you.
Adrián: First is the northern climate, not just any vegetable can grow in it, I take a piece of paper and begin to write several vegetables, a total of about 10, which were these.
1.- Beet.
2.- Bok choy.
3. Carrots.
4.- Kale.
5.- Kohlrabi.
6.- Lettuce.
7.- Onions.
8.- Peas.
9.- Radishes.
10.- Spinach.
These vegetables are resistant to cold, as for the land, the best thing is the use of fertilizers, the use of waste such as potato skins, or vegetable remains, even animal excrement, in the land itself, but the food had to be cleaned with great care in boiled and cooled water, field rotations and irrigation, the use of wood bark in plantations so that the ground does not freeze and the use of guides for other plants.
Adrián: I will send you the seeds when we finish the war.
Ned: And what would be the cost of these cultivation techniques and the seeds
Adrián: Nothing from me Lord Stark, the North has already suffered too much and they need to prosper, I'm tired of seeing families dying of hunger.
Ned was speechless he just thanked for all this
The lords of the North were delighted, this would save many lives taken by famine
Jon and Robert congratulated me for making a decision that puts people ahead of monetary gain. Robert was proud of a Lord of his land, he had shown to have a good head in the military and a good heart with the north, he had been irritated when the damned Tullys forced Ned and Jon who were like his own father to marry the Tully Girls, the worst that they still sold food at a high price bleeding to the North.
A screech disconcerted everyone, an eagle came down to where we were, it was a letter from Davos, I took the letter and opened it.
