Capítulo 2: Red Keep, Gerth, Kingslanding.

The conditions of the Red Keep was much better than any place he had visited so far in Kingslanding, perhaps, the Church of the Seven took the second place in terms of decor.

Although it was his first time in the Red Keep, Alexander was able to navigate his way through the guards and eventually reach the Throne room, which was completely empty at the moment.

'The Iron Throne.' Alexander was captivated when he looked at the hideous yet majestic throne.

'The Targaryens were the ones who forged this throne with the of swords of their fallen enemies and Dragon fire.' Alexander thought as he approached symbolic chair, 'Although I don't remember much of the details of this world, I know that the entire future revolves around this single chair.'

"Mine." Alexander declared without any hesitation, a grave look in his blue eyes.

'But not yet.' Alexander solemnly shook his head, 'I will righteously claim the Throne when the time is right.'

Once he was done inspecting the Iron Throne, Alexander left the Throne room and explored the rest of the Red Keep by moving like a ghost through the shadows.

Alexander knew that Starks must've settled in the Tower of the hand, but he didn't understand why Eddard thought it was necessary to bring his daughters along with him to this vile place.

Sansa he could understand, because she was obsessed with Joffrey and becoming the next Queen, but Arya?

'Maybe he brought her along to accompany her elder sister, who knows?' Alexander shrugged at the random thought and gazed past the closed doors of the Red Keep.

Since it was quite late and past the midnight, most people he found were either fucking or sleeping.

'Wonder what the Queen is doing?' Alexander thought when he saw Robert enjoying the night with his Whores.

As he entered the Queen's lavish room, he also found the Queen relishing the pleasures of the night, but her partner was someone he had expected.

'Isn't he the cousin?' Alexander questioned when he saw the blonde haired lanky man trying passionately to satisfy the urges of the Lannister Queen.

Alexander couldn't help but bite his lips in arousal when he saw Cersei's curvaceous naked figure taking it from behind and moaning lewd gasps.

It was clear she was doing this is as some sort of favour to her cousin, the King's squire, but Cersei also meant to indulge her cravings for a man through him.

Although, Alexander was tempted to knock out the King's squire and take his place mounting Cersei's bountiful rear, he also wasn't so spineless or desperate to lay with a woman through such cheap methods.

Shaking his head at the pathetic attempt of the cousin to please the Queen, Alexander left the room the same way he had arrived.

'I wonder how long it would take him to realise that he's being used.' Alexander thought out of curiosity, 'Or maybe he already knows and enjoys being used, who cares?'

Anyways, Alexander lost his interest in the King's squire when he arrived into a room decorated with animal heads on the walls.

'Yeah, checks out.' He was in the room of Joffrey Rivers.

Alexander contemplated his decisions as he stood next to Joffrey's bed and watched the prince sleeping peacefully.

Alexander held a grave expression when he thought about the damage this retard was going to cause in the future with his stupidity, but the Starks also didn't owe him shit for him to make such a rash decision.

And ending someone in their sleep didn't seem to be as much fun as watching them die knowing who killed them.

"I'll spare you for now." Alexander muttered as he looked at Joffrey's innocent face.

Alexander left the room and decided to leave the Red Keep to return back to his forge, when he suddenly felt a pull coming from the basements of the Castle.

'The Dragons.' Alexander thought when he quickly arrived at the place through shadow walking.

There were many Skeletons of the Dragons arranged carefully in the basement, but there was one particular head of a massive Dragon that was reaching out to him.

[You have acquired Balerion's Boon.]

"So this is Balerion." Alexander muttered while he caressed the giant skeleton head of the legendary Dragon.

'What is this Boon?' Alexander asked the System.

[The Boon provides you with the Traits of the Targaryen bloodline and allows you to tame your own Dragons.]

[Minor Quest Generated: Dragon Rider.

Rank: A

Objective: Find a dormant Dragon Egg and use the Balerion's essence to hatch it into your own Dragon.]

'I guess can collect some of these bones for crafting and ritual purposes.' Alexander thought when he looked at the Quest, 'I do have an Inventory, right?'

[Affirmative.]

Alexander felt relieved at the confirmation and started storing the Skeletons in his Inventory, because there was no way he was going to carry them out of the palace while being able to maintain his form.

Since nobody seemed to appreciate the remnants of the Dragons, Alexander decided to take everything away with him, even if it was the Skeleton of the smallest Dragon in history.

Once he was done exploring the Red Keep, Alexander returned back to the forge and found his old man already packing his stuff.

"What are you doing, Gerth?" Alexander's voice jolted the old smith in the quiet room.

"For Seven's sake!" Gerth exclaimed as he got startled by his voice and sudden appearance, "How did you get out of that shit hole so soon?"

"Did..you?" Gerth asked if Alexander had agreed to Lannister terms, but that didn't seem possible for an ambitious and prideful young man like him.

"I escaped." Alexander smiled, clearing the old man's doubts, "I see you're already packing my stuff, am I being kicked out?"

"Yes, across the Narrow Sea, where nobody would find you." Gerth grumbled and continued to pack his stuff, "I didn't find your secret stash, but these are all the stuff you've created with your absurd magic."

The Bag seemed to swallow everything inside despite its small size, that's because the Bag of Holding was one of the unique Magical items crafted by him.

Gerth was the only person who knew about Alexander's Magic and talents, because he was also the only person who had his complete trust.

Since he was already equipped with the Eros Earring, Alexander took the Ring of Detection and wore it on his left hand.

The Ring of Detection alerted him if somebody in the area held ill intentions towards, or if the food before him was simply poisoned as an assassination attempt.

As for the Eros Earring, it was generally created to protect him from diseases like common cold, but the Runes he had used made so that it mainly protected him sexually transmitted diseases and allowed him to control his fertility, in case he accidentally knocked up some whore or tavern wench.

Hence, Eros Earring.

Though at this point, Alexander simply wore it out of habit since his Adaptability allowed him to resist any negative conditions upon his mind and body, whether it be the wildest of disease or magical curse.

Ignoring his inventions for now, Alexander focused on the man who had raised him since he was a child.

Gerth was only old due to his age, otherwise he was still strong enough to topple off a fully grown man with his bare hands. His rough appearance intimidated anyone who met him for the first time, but the people who truly knew Gerth were aware about his gentle heart.

"Across the Narrow Sea?" Alexander raised an eyebrow at the burly old man, who was a feet shorter than him.

"Bravos is a good place to start." Gerth nodded, "I know a few people who can help you get settled there and start a new life."

"And what about you?" Alexander scowled in question.

"I'm too old and attached to this shit place to move out of the capital." Gerth sighed in response and smiled at him, "Where as, you still have a full life ahead of you. I'm not saying you cannot visit this old man anymore, but you need to understand that you've attracted the wrong kind of attention."

"I.. Understand." Alexander agreed with the old man and couldn't help but emotionally hug him, "Thanks.. For everything, Gerth. I wouldn't have survived this shit hole without you."

"Don't give me all the credit." Gerth laughed while holding back the tears in his eyes, "You have come a long way and grown into a fine man. It's time you go out there and explore the world."

"Hm." Alexander smiled in agreement as he stepped back.

While the two packed the stuff that he was going to take along with him, Gerth told him how he was going to travel across the Narrow Sea and whom he had to meet once he reached Bravos.

There was a Merchant ship going to leave for Bravos at sunrise and Gerth had already talked to the shipmaster about the arrangements.

The original plan was to send him on another ship, but since Alexander had escaped the Castle on his own, Gerth knew that there would be a search party looking for him the very next day.

"I want you to have this." Alexander said when he took out a portion from his savings.

"H-How much is this?" Gerth was startled by the amount of Dragon Gold Coins placed in front him.

"Just 20000, I'm taking the majority with me." Alexander replied with a cheeky grin.

"But how?" Gerth questioned in disbelief, because even if they made a lot of money as successful Smiths in the capital, there was no way he could've saved so much.

Not to mention, Alexander said that it was a portion of what he had.

"Remember the times I sneaked past you during the tournaments?" Alexander questioned with a meaningful grin, "I'm the Titan Knight."

"Y-You.." Gerth didn't know if he should be impressed or enraged, because participating in the tournaments like that was endangering to his life.

At least, Gerth could be relieved knowing Alexander had the ability to defend himself in an unknown city.

"Take this as well." Gerth said and took down the ancestral sword down from his forge's display.

People thought that it was just one of the well crafted weapons on display, but only a few people knew that it was actually a Sword made out of Valyrian Steel, from the times when the Targaryens ruled the Seven Kingdom and his ancestors served them.

"Nightfall." Alexander knew the Sword's name, since he was a familiar with its ancestral history as Gerth had bragged him about it on several occasions.

"Take it." Gerth forced the sheathed longsword in his hands, "And keep it on you at all times, it's not just a showpiece."

"Understood." Alexander humbly accepted the parting gift with a smile, since he knew what the Sword meant for him.

Once he was done storing all his items in his Inventory and the Bag of Holding, that he carried on his waist, Alexander wore the rune crafted tailored clothes and covered his identity with the Wanders cloak, before he departed from Kingslanding on a Merchant ship sailing to Bravos.

The Shipmaster was kind enough to provide him a small cabin for a few extra gold coins.

[Quest Completed: Lannisters or the Wall.

Rewards: 50 System Points, Skill: Commerce.]

[You have unlocked the "Skill: Observe" for completing your first Quest.]

[You have leveled up twice.]

'Two new skills.' Alexander thought while laying in his cabin's bed and reading the holographic screen, 'I wonder where I can use these System Points? Obviously, there has to be a Store.'

[Affirmative, you can use the System Points at the System Store.]

'Hm, I'll check it out later.' Alexander reminded himself, 'For now, let's check out my Status and these new skills.'

[Skill: Commerce

The Host has the ability to know an item's currency value and their exchange to obtain the ideal deal.

Allows the Host to achieve a fair deal on most trades.

The Host has the ability to instinctively know if somebody's trying to scam him.]

[Skill: Observe

'Cool.' Alexander was impressed.

The Commerce Skill would be especially beneficial to him on a new land, while the Observe was a versatile skill to be used in many ways.

For example, he should be able to tell if the person before him was a faceless man or a real person.

'I'll save the attribute points for now.' Alexander thought after feeling the growth of his Stats.

Every level provided him with 1 Stat point in every attribute, 1 additional Stat point, and 10 System Points, which was really busted if he thought about it.

He could already feel the difference after gaining the two extra points, because his muscles felt even more dense and pulsated with renewed strength.

'I wonder what it feels like to have immense luck?' Alexander chuckled at the thought when he realised he had been living his entire life on a Luck and Charm deficiency due to his Bastard Status in Kingslanding.
