Chương 57: Purpose
As we are upon Winterfell I ordered my men to raise the Tyrell house flag as I can already see and hear people getting nervous below.
As soon as the flag was raised the people below felt a little relief but still had fear for the unknown flying ship. Generally, people were manipulated into thinking all magic-related stuff was evil. During the dance of the dragons, the common people were manipulated into killing the dragons which were the source of all evil. Those were the ones responsible for the deaths of the last dragons who were in good health. These foolish common people easily change sides according to their needs.
When Daenerys burned down King's Landing I didn't feel anything for them as they were present throughout the Game of Thrones but never once tried to overthrow the rulers. All throughout the show except for Daenerys, no one cared much for the people that they are ruling and it is ironic that Jon killed her for the people that no one cared about. Those people weren't any good as they fully supported the execution of Ned even though they knew not much of the truth.
I was pulled out of my thoughts by Margaery's hand that was wrapped around my arm and used as a support as she was still recovering from last night's sex. I smiled at her gently kissed her cheek and asked whether she was alright.
She replied, " It's been 3 weeks but still can't handle you alone I will have to find some sisters to help me handle you in bed."
I said, " Well I have a few in mind and soon you shall have your sisters to help you." She smiled and gave me a kiss showing her acceptance.
By the time we finished our talk, the ship had already descended right beside the castle wall on the side of the open area so that no commoners of Winter Town could get near the ship. The top deck was on level with the castle wall and hence Eddard Stark and his men were face to face with us.
Ned: Welcome to Winterfell. It seems what I heard about you Tyrell's new son-in-law seems to be true. You know how to attract quite the attention very well.
Margaery made a Lady courtesy bow to Ned and I just nodded my head as a greeting.
Margaery: Well apologies for the commotion but this ship is something my husband has brought with him when he was lost in the sea. Their continent seems to have made very good progress with magic that we could not.
Ned: Let's keep that aside it's not a problem let's get inside and have some food first.
I let the guards and maids stay on the ship and followed Ned with Margaery. We followed into the main hall where all the Stark family had already gathered even Jon and Theon were present. This seems to be the result of us coming without proper notice otherwise Catelyn wouldn't have allowed Jon to be here.
At the dining table, Ned sat at the head of the table and Catelyn sat on the left side of the table with Robb opposite to her. Beside Catelyn were Sansa, Bran, Rickon, Arya, Jon, and Theon. I sat beside Rob with him on my left side and Margaery on the right. Catelyn started the talk by congratulating us on our marriage and that we look beautiful together. Then She introduced her children to us and we had a small talk while eating. As we finished our breakfast Ned asked us about our visit here.
I replied, " Well my wife has never seen snow, and how fun it is to play in it. So as a present for our wedding, I brought her here to have fun. But I also have another thing that I wanted to discuss with you.
Ned: What is it that you wanted to discuss with me?
Ryan: You see I am a prince from where I come from and now that I'm stuck here with no way back I wanted to have my own land and family. I had already started a family but what I still lack is my own land and castle of my own with my own House name and sigil. From what I heard the island of Skagos seems to not have any ruler that is affiliated with you the Paramount of the North. If you accept I would like to have it as my own. In return, I can get you food from Reach at half the price of what you are currently buying from merchants at White Harbor for a period of ten years. In addition to that I will also pay a million gold dragons.
After thinking for some time Ned replied.
Ned: Tell me there are many islands near reach that you can use so why come up here and to that harsh place with tides that terrorize ships?
Ryan: I like snow very much so I came north and harsh tides will be my advantage acting as a natural barrier for protection. As you saw my ship can fly and it would be no problem for me to travel there.
Arya: Brother how does your ship fly? Can I fly in it? please. please. please.
Catelyn was about to scold Arya when a roar was heard outside the main hall and with a bang the doors opened wide and Leo ran to Margaery. Ned, Rob, Jon, and Theon all stood up to guard their family but as it reached Margaery it calmed down and started acting like a cat that missed its mother. Everyone was very nervous so I calmed them down and made them sit and introduced Leo to them all. All the direwolves that were previously lazy and uninterested started to play with Leo.
After a few minutes, Ned left saying that he would think about it, and asked me to stay here for that time and was about to order someone to arrange for us to stay but I told him that we would stay on the ship. With that done I and Margaery went back to the ship with everyone else to show them my ship even Catelyn followed. Boarding the ship I took them all for a ride and everyone liked it very much. All the people below were becoming awed by the ship that was flying around in the sky and soon news spread of me and Margaery around like wildfire.
