Chương 66: Chapter 66

I smile at them while waving my hand. I hide my grimace when I see them kneeling and even kowtowing on the ground at me. Today is the day I get back home after taking care of all the problems in Myr, now known as the Stormfist.

And boy, many people are watching me get back to the ship.

I can see them shouting at me, thanking me, and even crying in sadness for seeing me go. I let them touch my hand as I walked toward my ship, but before I could step into the plank to my ship, my eyes caught a child at the edge of the port holding a flower in her hands.

I quickly move my hand and stop the little girl from falling down into the ocean. I slowly make her float toward me and carry her around my arms.

"That is dangerous, you know? Be Careful, okay?"

"I'm sorry."

"I'm not angry at you, dear. Just be more careful next time, okay?"

"En."

"What are you doing over there anyway?"

"I want to give you this."

I take the flower from her hands and say.

"Thank you. The flower is very beautiful."

"We grow them!"

"Really?"

"En. Mommy and I grow them together. Mommy said that she wanted to give you something for your help."

"Ah, I now remember. You are Pipi, right?"

"En! I'm Pipi!"

"How are you? Are you still feeling the pain?"

"No! I'm fine."

"That's good. Ah, it looks like your mommy is here."

While talking to Pipi, I can see a woman pushing the other away and widening her eyes when she sees Pipi in my arms. I put Pipi down and said.

"Go on, your mommy is waiting."

"Will you come back?"

"I will."

"Promise?"

I offer her my pinky finger and see her confusion.

"This is a pinky promise. This is a sacred move that my people do to make a promise of a lifetime. You offer your pinky and both of us will connect our pinky together."

She gave me her pinky and locked my pinky in hers.

"This is our promise. I will be back here and meet you once again. I also promise that I will bring my family to meet you. If I lie, I will swallow a thousand needles and cut my pinky."

"En."

"Good. Now, go. Your mommy is waiting."

I give her one last wave before walking inside the ship. Finally, I can go back home. I hope I can just lay back and have a peaceful life there. I have been too busy in Myr and need some peace doing whatever I want.

|Jon Arryn - Lord of the Eyrie and Hand of the King|

The problem has become worse. Another wave of people dying left and right is happening in King's Landing, and many people start moving out of the Crownlands. They are beginning to move to the south and the north.

The south because they have the cure. The single most sought thing in the entire Westeros. In comparison, the north is the place with the least infected people in the entire Westeros.

I already have many letters saying that too many people are migrating to the north and the south. The Dorne did not want the people because they were the people of their enemy, while the North wanted them gone from their home because they already struggled with the food with their population, and with the new people coming to their home, they would be even more struggling than before.

"My lord"

I snap from my thoughts when I hear a voice coming from behind the door.

"Come in"

When the door opens up, I can see the Spider walking inside with his usual smile.

"What is it, Varys?"

"I received a letter from my little bird, my lord."

"What kind of letter?"

"The Young Dragon has returned to his nest from Myr. He expanded his nest to Myr."

"Expand his nest to Myr? Did he invade Myr?"

"The city is now called Stormfist, my lord."

"Is he mocking us?"

Myr is a city sitting next to Storm's End, and he changed it to Stormfist? Is this a threat? Is this the way of him saying that he can attack us and will win? Storm's End is the place where Robert was born, and by creating a new name, mocking the name of Storm's End will make him even madder than before.

"I don't think he is, my lord. My little bird says that the young dragon got that name after seeing what Myr has been through."

"What? What do you mean?"

"The people of Myr have been through a lot in these past years and he calls them a storm. The people of Myr manage to punch through the storm with their own fist and come out stronger because of it. Hence the name Stormfist. Or at least that is what the people of Myr say."

"That means it was a coincidence then?"

"Most likely."

I nod my head. I did not like it, but at least he did not have a deep grudge against Robert for naming a city just to insult Robert's hometown.

"So, do you want to continue with the plan, my lord?"

"Yes. We will continue with the original plan."

"I don't think the king will agree with this plan, my lord."

"I will take the blame and face him tonight."

"If you say so, my lord."

I nod my head and write some letters before giving them to Varys.

"Take this letter and prepare some ships for us. We will go to Lunaria and negotiate for the cure. While we cannot give them Tywin, I'm more than willing to make an enemy of the old lion and give them Jaime Lannister as payment for killing the Mad King."

Especially with the rumor of the Old Lion starting to lose his claws and struggling to keep his family name strong, I'm rather making an enemy of him who I know cannot do anything unless he wants his people to revolt against him. As long as I can keep the realm stable for a few more years, I can fix all of this trouble.
