Flash back) (Mc's POV) 1 week after the death of varys the spider. And the hidden relationship with Elia.)
The office of master of law is currently occupied by me. And I am technically holding that temporary position, and doing an excellent job as well.
Keeping the peace in the city become much smoother after the murder of Gregor Clegane. The brutal murder of a Lannister bannermen put a lot of fear inside people's minds. So for some reason nobody actually tried to confront me about it. I thought and half expected that Sandor Clegane would come here and demand a compensation for killing his brother. haha well unfortunately the hound maybe not old enough to be independent yet.
Though Lord Arryn did gave a Stern scolding for killing the beast from Westerland and for being reckless as well, and Hoster Tully on the another hand backed me up. He told me that, what I did was nesessary and that beast deserved it. It was hilarious how they played the good Cop bad Cop with me, and I'm also greatfull that they don't fear me for being a murder machine, Well, that's because I'm not a loner, I can make friends and I can make jokes, the best jokes. And most of all I can sing. And people in westeros genuinely loves listening of other people sing. And I'm currently the best singer in the entire continent. Who would be afraid of a singer ? huh that would be ridiculous..!
So people that are closer to me or at least had a conversation with me never got afraid of my presence. To them I'm not the Stranger with scythe. To them I'm the heroic white Eagle Knight !!!
But it seems genuine on Hoster Tully's part. Because he seems to enjoyed the fact that Lord Tywin Lannister is a little humiliated and lost a good enforcer in the Westerland.
But they both did warned me not to Cross my boundaries again. And that's that, but I did learned a good message in there conversation that if I got in a even bigger sticky situation they will still willing to back me up. And that is very surprising indeed.
It's also made feel bad as well. Because These old Man's/Lords have this much soft spot for me, so much so that I already repaid them by fucking Lysa. Sigh ... I feel more guilty then ever ...!
God.... how the hell did i fucked up everything? Now the timeline is gone to hell and I lost the only advantage I had, And how the hell would I survive without that?
I can't go on rampage and kill them, because I feel thay might be a problem in the future ?
Hm.. maybe I can.. with careful plans.!
And that is what I'm really going to do...!
If the canon storyline is fucked, then I'll fuck it in a way that it's mother won't recognize it.
Everyone have to die someday, and all living things must follow the same rules. And if you can't kill them your going get killed instead.
But so far I'm sure I'm doing great. I'm living my to the fullest.
And the fear and the public reputation I currently got is immense. The small folks in kingslanding loves me like a hero. And the current Goldcloaks and the people that wants to disrupt peace fear me like a Angel of death or they like to call it The Stranger.
In my duties I have a lot times do a lot of stuffs, most of the time I roam around the city, And listen to people's problems and solved them with best of my abilities.
In the process I also took advantage of my power and did some of my personal shady stuff as well. Like taking over an abandoned Manor, And also takeover the good and expansive looking houses that someone illegally obtained and occupied. It's like I'm some kinda Mafia boss, who doing some huge amount of real estate business.
And I also resettled those Manor with one of my pregnant woman/maids that I retired them due..... to.....um .. their pregnancy ofcourse, I settled them with huge amount of Gold coins that I illegally received from lord Hoster Tully.
Well, he did not stole the golds, those Golds given to me by Hoster Tully as gifts. Well, he is currently in control of the Treasury, so in actuality nobody would question him about it.
Also even if he took some of the golds, nobody is going to would blame a Lord Paramount. Also it was Lord Hoster Tully who feed the entire rebellion with foods and funds. Though in return he already got two his daughter married to Two Lord Paramount. But ultimately it doesn't matter.
I mean Damm... I'll not questioning Lord Hosters generosity. Because it's seems the amount of Gold he gave me could be amount at least half million.
Well, the Treasury is in so much better condition that ultimately it doesn't matter if half million gold is gone.
At first I was hesitated to receive all that money, but Lord Hoster told me that John Arryn knows about everything. But then lord Tully secretly told me that Lord Arryn is informed about that I'm receiving golds. But not the actual amount of it. hahaha.. well good for me I don't care.
I don't know why lord Hoster gave all that money. But one thing I can guess is for saving his life or maybe convinced his daughter to marry Lord Arryn or maybe killing Lannister bannermen. Or perhaps calling Jaime Lannister the Kingslayer ? when he asked me for spar in the Redkeeps courtyard, when I was practicing with all four of my subordinates. I don't know but it's seems Lord Hoster hates the Lannister heir.
I refused to spar with Jaime Lannister and called him the Kingslayer. That I will not practice with a oath breaker. Well, that's a story for another time.
Anyway...!
I was making some strategy and also some preparation to attack Dragonstone. I need to end this war as fast as possible so that I can get my rewards and settle down for good.
And do all the stuffs all Fanfiction protagonists do.
1. Crop rotation.
2. Inventing farming tool.
3. Raise and breed better cattles.
4. Creating better ships.
5. Making alcohol.
And the last building an army that the whole westeros feel threaten.
hahaha it's sounds boring, I should just for an adventure beyond the wall. Kill that Wildling daughter fucker Craster. Because that guy is doing everything single crime possible for a deathsentence.
I'll make sure kill him after all this war is over.
back to Dragonstone....
Now the distance between Dragonstone and kingslanding is not very far at all. According to a ship captain source, it's 100 miles (160 kilometres I guess) from Dragonstone to Sharp's Point, then 320 miles (515 km) from Sharp's Point to King's Landing. The distance would be comparable if you used another route. So a 420 mile (675 km) trip.
The average sailing ship in pre-modern times could travel 5-8 knots. Assuming the armada can only go as fast as its slowest ship, let's say 5 knots. That is approximately 5.75 miles per hour (9.25 km/h), which means it would be a 73 hour trip from KL to Dragonstone. That's almost exactly three days, which is 72 hours. So essentially, it's a three-day trip. Say four days, because your admiral is taking it slow and on the lookout for traps and ambushes.
The difficulty with taking Dragonstone isn't the distance. Because, currently the Targaryens have the strongest navy in westeros guarding that island. And we don't have anything like that at all in kingslanding, We have is 3 dozens ships with wildfire. Also Dragonstone is a heavily fortified island with no easy point of ingress. It's hard to land troops on the island, and even when we have, it's even harder to take the castle itself. That's the issue that we're currently having with Dragonstone. Furthermore, being an island with few resources, an occupation force needs to bring food and other supplies from the mainland, which increases the difficulty of a siege. That's one of the reasons Malta and Rhodes were so difficult to conquer during various attempts historically.
But I need to end this entire conflict earlier for my own benefits. And to end it I need get rid of the remaining Targaryens that living in Dragonstone.
Their is also another reason I don't want let Viserys Targaryen and his soon to be born little sister escape. Especially if one day Daenerys Targaryen, mother of dragons comes to westeros. Then me and my is family is screwed and the entire westeros.... literally...!!!
The dragons are basically the nukes of this world. They ends conflicts with brutal burning massacre. The destructive power of those creature is beyond someone like me to handle.
So I need to prevent that from happening at all costs. I won't let the dragons be alive for possible future.
But we can do one thing. And that is sending a message to Dragonstone. If the queen Rehalle surrenders then everything will go smoothly....
But I know that's the only thing that'll never going to happen.
(AN: Guys what are you waiting for !! tap on the Powerstone.. More is coming.
