(POV Alan)
Amongst the attended lords most surprising for Alan was Quillon Greyjoy..... The man is alive. How the fuck that happened ?? Which shocked him to the core. Because in original timeline Quillon Greyjoy died at shield islands or in the mainland of the Reach. Quellon Greyjoy the current Lord of the Iron Islands, Lord Reaper of Pyke, and head of House Greyjoy. He is the father of Balon Greyjoy. He even brought his son and heir Baelon fucking Greyjoy as well . Though I really couldn't believe that the only good Ironborn Quellon Greyjoy is alive. Now I'm sure that history will change for Ironborns, Quellon Greyjoy is a progressive man amongst the Ironborns. He despise their old traditional way of life. Which is reaving and pillaging. But looking at him I can tell the man is in his 60 . And that means he can die at any moment.
Which also means that my timeline will be different maybe for no Greyjoy rebellion happening. That is not a good thing for me, So I need to somehow make it happen. But how ? Well I have to come out with an excellent plan for that.
Anyway.
After giving his oaths to the New King , Lord Greyjoy demanded a position in the small council as a reward for their contribution in the rebellion. And Robert Baratheon is a generous King, Thus granted them a position in the small council as master of ships.
Being Too generous Which is not a good thing. Because The lords from the Reach, North, Riverland and Westerland did not liked the Ironborns much and hates them because of their bad history with them. But Robert doesn't care about that ,he just likes those that supports him the most even if they were Ironborns.
And because all those kingdoms thinks them/Ironborns as no less than a bunch of pirates whom calls themselves lords. And oh boy..they did not like their presence at all.
Another surprising thin was.
Lord Quillon Greyjoy did not take the master of ships position by himself. Instead he gave it to his son Baelon Greyjoy and left the capital and returned to his Islands saying that he is too old for the Job and left a part of his fleet to join the new royal navy.
And house Velaryon is kicked out of their position.
As all the lords gathered in the Kingslanding Which took a lot of time but it seems everything is going very peacefully. It took longer than expected Because we had to wait for Dornish lords/princes to arrive at the capital.
They are also bringing Lyanna Stark as well. It's kind of hostage exchange for Elia Martell.
The thing is I hated to journey all the way from here to Dorne to rescue Lyanna or letting Ned stark go. The biggest reason is that most of his seven companion he took in OTL is already died at battle of trident. Howland Reed is alive.
But
Willam Dustin, husband of Lady Barbrey Dustin and the head of House Dustin
Ethan Glover, former squire to the late Brandon Stark (son of Rickard)
Martyn Cassel, father of Jory Cassel and brother of Rodrik Cassel died in the battle.
Theo Wull, of Clan Wull died in the prison.
Ser Mark Ryswell somehow servived.
Thus I had to come up with a new crazy plan and fast.
I'm somehow found a another crazy plan to save a lot of time for Ned stark ,Which I put to good use.
It was right after the lords from the Reach and Stormland arrived I applied my grand scheme.
To full fill my plan I needed a help from one of my Dornish friend and occasional bedmate Elia Martell.
. I have a very special relationship with Elia Martell.
So when everyone was busy with celebrating their triumph of the rebellion. I spent some of that time with princess Elia and some time with Queen Rehalle as well in a ... respective way.
So At first I asked Elia about the tower joy but she doesn't have knowledge of any Tower named joy. Then it clicked me, I remembered that the location got famous after Ned stark rescued his sister, So it's obvious that she doesn't know.
But she roughly gave me a estimated location of such Tower exist in the land of House Fowlers.
So I asked her to write a letter to her mother the ruling princess of meriah Martell to sent a sizable army to rescue Lyanna Stark. Which can give them a better negotiation power in the upcoming summon.
Hearing Lyanna Starks name , both woman was sad and also curious about what actually happened to her? well, why wouldn't they be? All chaos started because of her to began with.
Anyway the message we sent to Dorne was done in a very secretly via Reven. Elia wrote the letter herself. And Grand Maester piecelle also helped as well. But at my sword point ofcourse haha... I'm not taking any risks here and the threat seems to worked well and he made an oath to keep it secret to his grave. Or I'll gutt him like fish or worst... expose his secrets as well that the Maester fucks the servant girl that is assigned to him. If that happens then He'll be executed for being a oath breaker. Or worse he'll be sentence to The Wall, And his daddy Tywin won't be there to save him.... And my position is very much secure nobody is going to stop me ...
I laughed with evil grin... And Grand Maester flinched from my side.
Oh Damm. it's already midnight I think I already spent enough time at the library...
Well, the good Maester is giving me lessons about the Riverland and it's history. It's a fruitful endeavor.
After thanking the good Maester I left the library.
I knocked on the door to my soon to be lady wife's chambers. It still amazed him how well she had adapted to life in a castle as crowded as this, when before all she had known were Highgarden or Cider hall.
"Enter," Alan heard from inside. It sounded more like a command than an invitation, but that was just another aspect of his soon to be wife that he had grown to appreciate.
