Chương 10: The lion's entourage
(Shiera POV)
Shiera was the daughter of Genna Lannister and Emmon Frey. Shiera was said to be the most beautiful girl in Westeros this last century.
To the twins, Shiera felt like in a pigsty, the only place where she felt good was with her mother and when she traveled to the Westlands.
Shiera was a very mature girl for her age and she grew up with her mother's stories. So she knew that her role as a woman would be to marry a foreign man for political gain.
Shiera became indifferent when she realized that she would never live a fulfilling life, but one day everything changed for her.
When she was 8 years old, she traveled with her mother to Castral Rock to see her family on her mother's side.
Shiera did not pay too much attention to the others because she thought they would not see each other for a long time after this visit.
In the evening, she decided to walk through the town of the castle when she was blocked by the sons of nobles from the Westlands. Shiera was scared for the first time in her life.
Suddenly Shiera saw the light of her life. Red eyes like blood watching her. She felt her soul tremble under this look.
She looked at this child of the same age as she hunted these noble young sons without fear. He then came to ask her if she was okay with a thin dazzling smile.
Shiera was taken to Castral Rock when she was still dizzy when she suddenly asked.
"Excuse me, but who are you?"
Shiera still remembered the young man's amused look.
"You forgot me, I'm Aslan, your cousin."
She blushed when she realized that she hadn't looked at her cousin's face before, but she kept her first name.
"... Aslan ... hihihi ..." she whispered.
"Did you say something?"
"No nothing."
She never overlooked Aslan's comforting back and every year she came back to see him nonstop with her mother.
5 years later when her mother announced her engagement to her with her cousin, Aslan, she jumped up to the sky with a laugh that would make the most beautiful birds pale. When she suddenly felt tears on her face.
"Why am I crying?"
Her mother laughed and she took her in her arms comforting her.
"These are tears of joy dear."
She pushed aside her worries and spent the night laughing in the bed.
However, everything changed a year later.
Shiera was confrontational learning about the relationships between Aslan, Elia Martell, and Janna Tyrell. The highlight is that she also felt that her cousin, Cersei had feelings towards her own half-brother.
She spent all the year 279 and the beginning of the years with Aslan, keeping him company and confronting Cersei.
(Cersei Pov)
Cersei and his family is very complicated. Cersei since the death of her mother feared losing her loved ones and she developed a phobia of abandonment.
Cersei was devastated when she learned of Jamie's engagement with Jeyne Swann. She was even more devastated when she saw how Jamie distanced herself from her when he and Jeyne met for a meeting.
Cersei cried for a long time but during the Viergétang tournament, she found herself wanting to get closer to her half-brother who was the person closest to her after her twin brother.
Cersei was happy when she remembered the way in which he had consoled him following the refusal of his engagement with Rhaegar.
When she saw Aslan being thrown from the arena at the tournament, she felt something break in her. Cersei was afraid of losing all the people who were really close to her and who knew her true personality.
During Aslan's recovery, she was so worried but when she saw Shiera she felt her jealousy ignite.
She believed that the women wanted to steal Aslan from her and for 3 days she confronted Aslan about Elia, Janna, and Shiera.
She left no respite for her half-brother who remained silent under his interrogation.
Cersei dropped over time, but in the year 279 and early 280 she constantly fought for her attention with Shiera.
(Present POV)
In late 279 and early 280, Aslan spent his time training and structuring the army.
The army of 40,000 soldiers was divided into trades.
The army includes 18,000 infantrymen and 5,000 long archers. There are also 5,000 light cavalry forces and 2,000 harnessed tanks.
Aslan also asked his private blacksmiths scattered across Westeros and Essos to make thousands of custom armor. Aslan asked for silver armor with black knuckles and a blood-red cape. He asked to send all this armor to his warehouse in Essos.
Aslan was preparing, he only had 2 years before the start of the war and he knew he would not stay in Westeros.
His soldiers, whom he sent throughout Westeros, also began to return, bringing with them fallen stones from the sky. Aslan wanted meteorites because it is a very solid iron, comparable to Valeryen steel and he wanted to make it a personal armor in view of the Harranhall tournament in 1 year and the futur.
Aslan also got wind of the finishing touches on his personal ship. His flagship was a galleon 65 meters long with 25 meters wide and a 4-story castle at the rear.
The prow was decorated with a lion and the sails were blood red with a golden lion. Different ornaments were made of solid gold. For any pirate, this ship would be like a woman inviting him to a room.
Aslan spent his time on the ship sailing around the west of Westeros with Cersei and Shiera. The three saw beautiful things, they saw whales, dolphins, and Aslan told them various stories about Essos, Sothoryos, and Ulthos. The two girls had their eyes wide on hearing all these myths and mysterious evenements.
Aslan had looked on Earth at various theories encompassing the world of Game of Thrones, and many of the books he had read spoke of countless mythical creatures or mysterious events.
Finally, in the year 280, Aslan and Shiera turned 15 and Jamie and Cersei turned 14.
Cersei became known for her beauty and Tywin received many marriage proposals. He was still hoping for a royal wedding, unfortunately, this year shattered all his hopes.
Ravens leaving King's Landing informed all the seven crowns of the arranged marriage between Elia and Rhaegar. The Queen of Dorne arranged the marriage to Aerys and Rhaella Targaryen.
Tywin, who lived in King's Landing, felt trouble coming. The different lords were waiting to see a fun show at the wedding.
Aslan who received the letter by raven felt irritated, but he already knew the marriage which would take place between the two.
Soon, two days later, the news traveled to Westeros. The entire population knew the rumors about the relationship between Aslan and Elia. Everyone had the feeling that something would happen at this marriage, but all prayed that a conflict would not arise.
The wedding will take place in 2 months and the Martell and Targaryen family had already started the organization. Rhaegar was already in King's Landing with Elia who was taken with his mother.
Lannisport, the city under Aslan knew a tension without limits, however, the castle was always calm.
Aslan was in his dark office with his face down and serious. He was debating what to do and how to react.
As Aslan was deciding, the door opened, letting in a white shadow.
Looking up, he saw Shiera in her long white dress approaching with a worried look.
"What are you doing here Shiera?"
"I'm worried about you, cousin."
Aslan only sneered.
Shiera bit her lip seeing Aslan's reaction.
"... Is she important to you cousin?"
Aslan suddenly looked at Shiera and asked.
"What do you mean?"
"If it matters to you then do something!"
Aslan looked at Shiera in surprise but he smiled.
"You really are a good Shiera woman. In the past few days, you have worried about me."
Shiera blushed and justified himself.
"Ah-ah ... I'm your fiancee now, I have to worry about my future husband."
"Hehehe, you are really sweet."
Shiera blushed and looked timidly at the floor. Shiera had developed an attractive charm and had already started to lose her childish features. Currently, her gestures could bring up each man.
Aslan was moved when he looked at Shiera. Shiera looked like an attractive fairy and his heart flickered at Shiera's gentle demeanor.
Aslan knew Shiera's feelings for him, but he believed they were feelings of youth. Yet Shiera persisted for years surprising Aslan. With his currently worried mind, Aslan was tempted.
Shiera sensing the silence in the office suddenly backed away and escaped from the office, running into her room. Aslan stood frozen in front of Shiera's action before suddenly starting to laugh.
The next day, Aslan sent all the meteorites he had collected these 10 months to the master blacksmiths of Lannisport. Among these 10 master blacksmiths, only 4 were in the service of Aslan, the others lived in Lannisport and would never follow a lord abroad abandoning their family.
Aslan ordered them to make the bottom of the armor out of all the meteorite iron. He ordered them to make some of the armor for the waist and legs.
Two weeks later, the armor was ready. Aslan was called into the forge allocated for the manufacture of armor.
On entering the forge, Aslan felt a suffocating heat enveloping him and the smell of coal.
Deeper, Aslan found the blacksmiths in front of the stockings of black armor, like ebony.
The armor was impressive though the lack of the bottom. The blacksmiths during the creation of the armor noticed the more solid properties of this iron.
All the blacksmiths at the end were surprised by the solidity of the armor. The solidity of the iron is comparable to Valyrian steel.
When they saw Aslan, everyone presented him with the armor.
The armor would be very solid, able to withstand ordinary arrows and swords. Yet he lacked the top of the armor, the most important.
Aslan assured them that it will be they who will build the rest of the armor at the end of this year.
Aslan then asked them to put gold on the armor and put on a red size cape.
The blacksmiths agreed and two days later, the armor was delivered to his castle.
Aslan tried the armor in the castle courtyard and it suited him like a glove. Shiera and Cersei, who was looking at him with the naked upper body blushed furiously, yet they also noticed the wounds on his body.
Aslan had received various injuries to the body following battles against bandits and pirates.
Lannisport, who was plunged into tension, soon learned that their lord was as calm as always and they resumed their usual life. Unfortunately, they did not know it was calm before the storm.
