Bab 68: 68. Problem in Flea Bottom
"So, what did you find, Bronn?"
"Eh... The whole place is messed up, but the city guards are the most messed up. The guards ask for money to protect them or else they beat them or spoil their little shops. The commander of the city watch, Janos Slynt knows about it but doesn't do anything. He probably has a cut in the money," he reported.
"Well, let's see what that guy does when we start giving food and work to people," Alexander said and told his men to start the work.
For now, he was offering food and work to people. Single women and single mothers were told that they'd be taken to Norgold and given jobs there. If they don't know any skill then they'll be taught. Alexander's reputation was quite good among smallfolks so people believed him.
The 2 big buildings bought in the Flea Bottom opened their doors. The Kitchen was free for children and disabled but the adults had to earn their living. They'll be given a token from the work distribution centers with their work and identity written on it. As long as they had that token, they'd receive the food every day.
~Ah... This world really needs something to entertain and uplift the mood. Music is the best option but it'll need electricity. Gramophone will do for now. I'll make phonograph records for various hit songs from my world. But It'll not be that amazing without all the bass and stuff. Winter city, Norgold, and Moat city can use electrical speakers though~ He thought.
Things ran smoothly for the next 4 days. People loved Alexander. He talked to them, laughed with them, and played with their children. He treated them not like some peasants but equal humans. It only took 4 days for them to start calling him Grandpa. Alexander had pushed his full name to people. A name which people rarely knew, Alexander Maxim Universe Stark. He also made people call him Grandpa Universe. Grandpa Stark sounded too weird to him.
But he had started to hear news about some Gold cloaks. They recently destroyed some small Inn which Alexander had helped repair. He sent his Wolf's swords after them.
The 4 men were arrested and locked down in their cells after breaking their arms and legs. Those who took pleasure in other's misery were not humans. He told other Gold Cloaks that if they wanted the men free then their commander would have to come himself.
After some hours, his Wolf's Sword told him that the commander was coming to him. Alexander donned his armor to look as intimidating as possible.
"Who dares to harm the City Watch." Janos Slynt shouted.
"I do," Alexander walked out in full armor. Many people had seen Alexander's armor in the last rebellion so they recognized him and cheered.
"Who are you? Release my men," he demanded.
"I am Alexander Stark. Your men destroyed an inn that I just renovated. They asked for protection money. Tell me, who do YOU pay when you need protection, and do you also take money from smallfolks?" Alexander asked.

~So, I am talking to a dead man~
Alexander sent a probe into his mind and saw all his secrets. He had a small chest filled with money under the floor in a secret compartment in his house. He then made the guy confess.
"So what if I do? Who gives you the right to judge the men of City Watch? We only serve the King," Janos screeched.
*BAM*
"And I serve the common people. Even the King serves the common people and that makes the common people your superior," Alexander said.
"People, will you allow me to judge this man?" he loudly asked.
"AYE, YES, YAY" many shouts came.
He tied a rope to Janos's legs and started to drag him. Janos tried to stand up but couldn't. He first took the guy to his house and retrieved the money chest. Then he started dragging him towards the Red Keep. The crowd followed behind him.
"You don't know anything, the King isn't the most powerful man here. It's Lord Tywin. Most of the gold cloaks are Lannisters. If you hurt me, he'll not let it slide," Janos started mumbling, making people became even angrier.
He dragged him straight into the great hall of the Red Keep. The court was currently in session and Robert was on his rare visit to the throne. Some poor peasant was crying in front of the King with his little daughter, nearly 7-year-old in his arms. His daughter was all beat up.
"Your Grace, the gold cloaks beat my daughter because she bumped into them in the tavern. Look at her, she hasn't woken since then. You must give justice. I demand justice," he nearly shouted.
"KNOW YOUR PLACE, YOU ARE TALKING TO THE KING..." Pycelle shouted in his grumpy voice.
*BAM*
Out of nowhere, a wild, flying helmet appeared and smashed right into Pycelle's head.
"AND YOU SHOULD KNOW YOU PLACE OLD FOOL. GO BACK TO YOUR CORNER AND WRITE RAVENS" Alexander came in, fully donned into his armor. Janos Slynt being dragged behind. He really hated it when people used their position to torment common people.
Varys gave an unnoticed light bow to him from the side.
~What the f*ck did that fool do~ Robert thought in his head. Feeling a little scared now.
Alexander looked at the poor common man. He threw Janos to the King's feet and walked to the father and daughter. The man felt scared of the tall armored man, but when he saw his face, he relaxed.
Alexander removed his helmet and kneeled down beside the little girl.
"Such monsters, to do this to a little kid. She has internal bleeding. Thankfully, no bone is broken. But if she's left untreated, it could be life-threatening." He calmly said while checking her.
"My Lord. C-Can you heal her?" The man asked.
"Absolutely, but I'll need something." He said and then looked at Pycelle.
"Old fool, bring me all these things in 10 minutes" he took out a small notepad and wrote something on it with a ball pen.
Pycelle had subconsciously traded Tywin's place to Alexander's in his mind. He quickly brought those things.
Alexander quickly made a fake harmless potion and then added another potion which was the main magical stuff. He made the girl drink it. Then he quickly discharged the clogging blood from internal bleeding with the help of a syringe. He also used his magic to heal her 99.9%. She would still feel very light pain here and there for the next 2 days though.
Everyone in the court silently watched everything. No one had the guts to either say something or leave. Even Robert looked at it with interest. When the girl woke up, she scaredly looked at her father and started crying.
"Papa... Th... They hurt me." She wailed loudly.
"Everything's fine, dear. I will punish the bad people. Here, take this." He gave her a sweet and sour lollipop.
"Can you tell me what they looked like?" Alexander asked the man
"Tell their faces to my men and they'll find them," he said.
The man told his Wolf's sword the face of the 4 attackers. His warrior elves just used Legilimency and saw the faces of them. They quickly went away to bring them.
Then he suddenly remembered why he was there,
~Ah... I'm getting old.~
"How are you, your grace?" he said to Robert.
Robert suddenly stood up and came down from his throne.
"Please, uncle. It's Robert for you." He said.
"Well, Robert. I have no problem with your bad habits, but you should at least hire competent people who can run the city. Your Gold Cloaks had been extorting money from smallfolks in the name of protection money. You either pay or get beaten. Even your City Watch commander is involved. I found a chest full of money in his house. Seriously, Robert. It's just one city, I can't even imagine how you're running the 7 kingdoms." Alexander disdainfully said.
"What! Janos, is that true?" Robert roared.
"Y-Yes" Janos meekly replied.
"Then death is what you'll get. What you did is treason and..." Robert was interrupted by screams of 4 newcomers.
"Who are you, let us go. If lord Tywin finds out about this he'll never let you go" the 2 Wolf's sword and Bronn brought 4 men tied in iron shackles.
"Huh... 4 men to beat a small girl. I see you Lannisters have kept up the tradition since the Rebellion," Alexander snorted.
"How dare you say that, and let them go. The girl is okay and there's no need for punishment now" Cercei entered to save the Lannister pride.
Jamie quickly walked up to his sister-lover. "What are you doing, don't mess with him." He whispered.
Jamie still remembers how easily he was defeated the last time he met Alexander.
"What do we have here? Robert, the last time I remembered, you were the king, and only you had the power to judge. Since when did the queen start to hold such power?" He mockingly asked.
"SHUT UP! woman. That girl would have been dead if not for Uncle. He saved her. And the 4 men and Janos will be publicly executed tomorrow." He shouted. Further angering the arrogant Queen.
