Bab 95: Arrival of the queen part 2 and the massacre.
I escorted the two Lord paramounts and The Targaryen Queen to the safety of the RedKeep. I also took queen Rhaella to Maegor's holdfast, There she will get to reunited with her daughter in law princess Elia Martell. It will be a heartwarming situation for both woman. for that I'm sure.
I carried the queen the entire walk, On our way I started some small talk with her, if she's feeling uncomfortable or not? ,She is pregnant after all.
"Your Grace are you in pain? am I hurting you?" I softly asked the purple eyed woman who is currently holding on to me gently with her both hands.
My question brought her back to the real world, She was in daze the entire time.
" N... No... kind Ser. You may have the physique and strength of a brute. But to my great surprise your are very gentle. Thank you for doing this Ser, you are truly kind." She kindly replied a little mocking tone and tighten the grip around my neck.
"Is that so ? Then my Lady I'll take that as a compliment and another great accomplishment to my name. It's not very often A humble knight gets a complimented by a Queen." I pridefully declared.
And she gave a lady like chuckle. And finally she seems to warming up to me. It's seems the shock from being attacked by Seven pointed star worshipping fantastics is leaving her mind.
"You forgot that she is an enemy Queen, And old hag of an women that lost her kingdom is complementing you.... Ser...?" She playfully asked.
"Ah.. where is my manner. I'm Alan Winters, my Lady. The Hegde knight/Best singer in westeros, And currently under employment of Robert Baratheon. And to answer your question your Grace , enemy or not, A queen is still a queen and deserves the same respect. And please do not belittle yourself my Lady, Your still beautiful as a blooming white Rose in hot summer."
My introduction seems to actually caused a small amount of surprise in her facial expressions, and it changed quite frequently. Then it changed into a little bit of fear, Then she Shaked her head and dismissed some of her thoughts about me. Maybe she's thinking about the tale's of my accomplishments.
"It seems the rumors I've heard are all untrue." She said with a thoughtful expression. And that made me curious as well.
"I'm curious my Lady. What kind of rumors ?"
She hesitated it's seems she doesn't like to talk about it,"N no ... I've heard all news in my stay in Dragonstone. But the ones about you, are not particularly good Sir Alan."
" My Lady rumors transfer one place to another by people's mouth. Thus it changed into all forms. But i do like to hear it from you what kind of rumors about me that you've heard? If you don't mind telling me ofcourse."
" There's not many Ser. But few that came to Dragonstone by some merchant of pentos. They said that you kill people in broad daylight, Be it a Landed knight or Smallfolk alike just for simply breaking the law or some minor insults to your person.They said that you used your bare hands crush their sculls for amusement. Their are also rumors that you kidnap woman around the city to your liking, And nobody knows what you do to them inside the castle."
Damn.. that is by far the worst thing about me has been told...
is she talking about me or Gregor Clegane? Well, Clegane is dead/ I killed him myself, so that means me. But God..... I wish I could capture those pentosy merchant that bad mouthed me, I would create a Guillotine just to separate their heads. Wait pentos ...? Does they have a connection to Varys? Damn it..! how can I forget about the spy masters friend from the free Cities?. If I remember correctly then he is magister of pentos illiryo Mopatis ..was his name ? anyway I'll deal with him later.
"Then I believe that you have heard some very inaccurate false information about me, my Lady. I was appointed by Lord Arryn to keep peace inside the city. And your Grace you do understand that it's a job for someone who has the toughness and the will to carry on his duty properly. It's true that I killed a nobleman, But it's just one landed knight from Westerland and he did not had a very good reputation. And the smallfolk that I put to the sword were all criminals of various crimes, from thieving to rapes. And the last part my lady... I'll asking that to you. Do you think that I'm not good looking or skilled enough to court a woman to share my bed ? that I need to resorting kidnap and rape ?"
She obviously observing my face to see if there was any evidence of lie. But it seems she reached her conclusions.
" I believe that your telling me the truth Ser. And yes your very ... very attractive , no woman would not refuse you without a proper reason. And I am experienced enough to tell if is was big fat lie or not Ser." she kindly replied.
And we almost reached our destination.
" Well, it's seems we have arrived. Before I go ,I liked to tell you something Lady".
It's seems she looked little disappointed that our conversation cut short. But she immediately cheered up knowing that she'll meet her daughter in law.
"what is it Ser?"
" Well....um.... how should I put this? Please... do not blame yourself for the fall of your house my Lady. Everything that happened to your family is all because of your husband and Eldest sons decisions not yours. You had no part in their madness. You have done nothing wrong. By surrendering your house you've made the right decision yourself. I can tell by looking at you that your no fit for leadership. Thus retiring from politics was a wise choice. Your youngest son will be safe, because he still has a family there and loyal Men to protect him, And you can visit him at The Wall time to time. If he were sent to Essos instead, the new regime would surely hunted him down. It may look like that you're house lost the crown all because they couldn't win against the Rebels. But know this my Lady that your family do not have The dragons to project their power. So it was an inevitable that your house got overthrown or other kingdoms get their independence. And believe me your Grace it would have happen sooner or later. For now You must stay strong your Grace, not just for yourself but for the child that is inside you as well. And fear not my Lady, if the entire realm or the Faith of the Seven demands your life for being a incestuous abomination, I would fight the trial by combat as your Champion. But I'm a warrior my lady, not a politician, thus you must protect yourself from the vipers."
Then she cried, in my arms Just like a child. oh God... What have I done?
I truly tried encourage her , not to make her more vulnerable. When she calmed down I gave her the access to my capes to wipe her tears. After that she regained her perfect facial expression of a dignified Queen.
"You seems have a conflicted loyalty Ser Alan. The words you spoke to me are outright treasonous. if you're liege lord finds out about such things that it will be the end of you."
" Well, it's a good thing that nobody is going to find out".
" You have allowed me to delve in my selfishness once again. Why are you so kind to me, a vile, cowardly woman?"
" Do I really have to tell you that? Our experiences are different, You have suffered so many injustice. You survived. Your no cowered my Lady. your surviver " grabbing her hands, I caressed her soft, delicate skin with his coarse, hard fingers. "The king that made you cry. Is killed by his own guard. now you're free."
"Do you pity me?" She asked.
"No. I do not know what pity is. Maybe I pitied myself, once. It's true that I sympathize with women such as you. They are many vile men and need to be exterminated so that women don't suffer pointlessly, so that they knows that they will stay safe. I will kill all of them that tried to hurt you today , those fanatics will suffer dearly, including the ones in your dreams. I'll kill them for you so sleep well without any nightmares."
It's seems like her mind finely cracked.
"Thank you Ser for those kind words. it's been decades that someone showed that much concern and kindness for me. You oddly remind me of the late Lord Commander Ser Duncan. He saved me and my son Raegar that day at Summerhall. He also told me that he would protect me and my family with his life. And true to his words he died protecting my grandfather. And he..... was the last person to carry me like this." she blushed saying the last part.
"Well, it's good to know that I'm being compared to such esteemed Knight of westerosy history." well, everyone in westeros knows the tale's of the hedge knight Ser Duncan the tall.
" I would like to thank you Ser for all you've done for me today. But as you can see I have nothing but empty words to give you as a rewards."
" you Do not need to worry about that my Lady. I know very well how to extract rewards."
With that said, I gave her a very forceful passionate kiss .Our lips met, the fleshy bumps colliding against each other with a soft, clear intent.
....
After that I left her to Elia's Care. Though I stayed their for a minute or two watching their heartwarming Mother and daughter reunion. Though not as good as the Starks but it'll do for the time being.
And I returned to the outside of the Castle's gate and found my subordinates well equipped and ready.
The reinforcement that I called arrived and perfectly assembled, Tonight We will be Descend upon those poor souls like an army of grim reapers. Nothing is taste better than slaughtering these troublesome fanatic Seven pointed star worshipers.
The Intel about the brigands I received told me that they are gathering in great number near the great Sept of Baelor. And I need to eradicate this Cancer before they grow into a incurable disease. This city in the biggest economic hub of westeros, But it's people are by far the biggest problem. And the corrupted Goldcloaks are too outnumbered and incompetent to deal with these kinds of issues.
Three thousand Vale and Rivermen will be participating the in butchering. The Soldiers were furious was an understatement, how dare these low lifes attacked their liege Lord was in their minds!
Oh and it's seems Tywin Lannister also Despatched additional Two thousands soldiers lead by his little brother Gerion Lannister.
It's seems like they are also want some Chunk of Glory. And right now any helping hands is welcomed with open arms. And to be honest I kinda get along with Gerion Lannister for some reason. And he seems like jolly character. And we get along pretty well, he always have a smirky smile on his face, which is a taboo in his family.
Because Gerions father Tytos Lannister was famous for being called a laughing Lion and almost ruined his families standing in the Westerland. And his Bannermen took advantage of him because of his kind nature.
Gerion is a bit different from other typical Lannisters. I heard that he spends most of his time in bars and brothels. I even had few drinking competition with the blonde. It's seems Tyrion got his traits from him.
Another reason I liked him because he doesn't have any grudge against me for killing Gregor. One time he even told me that it was better that the monster is gone.
.
.
.
With Five thousands men armed and armoured we carefully surrounded the Visenya's Hill from all four sides in the darkness.
And I ordered the troops to execute order 69.
And the troops did exactly that. They brutally fucked them up that later I found no surviver to hang.
But I also regrated for what I saw at the aftermath.
Because the fanatics didn't recruit the Men's only, they also gathered woman and children as well. And they were all butchered together.
God forgive me for what I have done.
Because I can't punish my soldiers for killing the innocent people. Because technically I was the one that ordered them.
And if I punish my own soldiers for following orders then, Then nobody would follow my orders in future. I will loose all the respect and admiration I've built up until now. I'll be making the same mistake Robb stark did.
In this operation I didn't killed a single soul. But tomorrow people will surely remember me as the butcher of the Sept. All because I was the one that ordered it. And thousands of innocent died because of it.
But were they truly innocent?
Am I slowly drifting off? to the darkness...
