章節 17: Harrenhal and the lion
Aslan stood in a quiet courtyard with only Leo by his side.
Leo who reached the size of an adult hippopotamus was even more ferocious and as a magical creature, his body was very hard. The only weapons capable of hurting him were the Valyrian steel and meteor steel. The other thing capable of hurting him would be magic but magic is found in particular in Essos because in Westeros there are few magicians of Qarth, R'hllor or other species.
All the magic of Westeros was massacred by the first men and Andals when they came to Westeros.
Aslan, who spent his time with his faithful friend, reflected on the events of the year 281.
Aslan knew that this year will be the beginning of chaos all over Westeros. Aslan had prepared, he would use Lannisport as a base and if all went wrong then he had a backup plan.
First, the Chevalier Badin and the others joined Aslan with 200 of their companions and they currently serve Aslan and Aslan made Chevalier Badin, Axel, and Oswyn his personal guards.
He assigned William and Ulmer as chief archers of the army. William had a military talent in archery and he had a strong instinct.
Then military forces commanded by Rhaegar marched on Kingswood to kill the last bandits who without their leader were killed and imprisoned.
Axel and the others breathed a sigh of relief and sadness when they heard the news.
Jaime, his brother was armed knight by Rhaegar as a reward for his combat value because Jaime participated in combat at Kingswood.
Aslan also completed his 16 years with Shaïra who was becoming more and more demanding to have sex with her.
Her uncle Gerion also went on a trip. He left for Lys to visit and enjoy his personal ship. Gerion took two frigates with him. With him were 5000 guards who have been with him since his youth.
Aslan was also spending time with 10-year-old Sandor who was already quite strong. Sandor first learned to control his anger and channel it, and the master of arms began to teach him how to wield a sword properly. Sandor was a genius, Aslan concluded.
After three months, at the beginning of the year 281, an announcement crossed all of Westeros. The Whent family is organizing a big tournament with great prizes.
Large families and wandering knights were all invited.
Aslan smiled, it's been a long time since he really fought and this tournament will be the start for many things.
Aslan sent a letter to his brother to tell him that he will participate. A day later, an enthusiastic response came to Aslan.
Jaime replied that he was going to participate, he had only participated in the lull tournament and the Herrenhal tournament will be his second tournament.
Aslan smiled and told his men to prepare for a week's delay.
Aslan then stood up and Leo followed him. Behind the two were two very tall knights for someone normal.
Aslan in the corridor grabbed a servant and sent her to call the girls.
In a room decorated with simple gold ornaments, 4 women entered the room.
Aslan seated on a sofa and Leo sleeps at his side he looked carefully at the 4 women in front of him.
Janna and Elia got used to life in Lannisport and they discovered many new things. Foreign traders told them or showed them many strange and mystical things.
Cersei wanted to help Aslan manage Lannisport and currently, Aslan often lets Cersei meet officials or merchants in his place.
Shaïra spent her time with Aslan. His gentle presence always calmed and relaxed Aslan. Shaïra always had a sunny smile despite her sensual face and body. She also had diplomatic skills and frequently gave Aslan ideas on how to resolve a matter.
"Girls, a tournament will be held in Harrenhall in three weeks. I will leave in 6 days to be 1 week early and visit the premises a bit, would you like to come with me?"
The 4 women looked at each other and thought.
"I will not come, in the past year I have traveled too much and my health is not very good." said Elia unhappily.
"I too will not come, I met a woman from Volantis and she tells me many incredible stories. Besides, I don't like noisy gatherings." said Janna with a mischievous smile.
"I have to stay to watch Lannisport and make it work, it will be without me brother." said Cersei with regret.
Aslan looked at the last young woman who had a broad smile as sweet as the sun.
"I'm coming! I can finally be alone with my husband! Yay!" Shaïra jumped for joy and hugged Aslan in his arms.
The other 3 women looked at her nonchalantly and smiles rose on their faces.
"Shaïra you have a mission, you can't just have fun."
"A mission?" Shaïra asked in confusion.
Aslan was intrigued but he felt uncomfortable because of the unhealthy looks of the 3 women in front of him.
"Yes, Shaïra. You must prevent Aslan from touching another woman." said Janna with a serious face.
Aslan looked at the women in front of him in disbelief.
Shaïra, who had a confused expression, became alert like a soldier and said.
"I will do my best my sister, I will not let a woman be added to us."
Aslan smiled at their antics and tapped their forehead playfully before leaving. Cersei, Janna, and Elia smiled and they went back to their room leaving Shaïra in the confused room.
"So should I watch him or not?"
Aslan strolled on the thick walls of Lannisport admiring the sea and the boats leaving and entering the port.
"It's been 16 years since I came into this world, huh ..."
Aslan looked at the horizon pointing west from Westeros with a distant gaze.
Leo feeling his friend's emotions rubbed his head against his chest and that made Aslan laugh. Seeing his friend worry about him, he laughed and got rid of his thoughts.
"I have to live in the present. I will stay with the people I love and I will protect them. I will also leave my name in history, this is what I want."
Aslan turned around and went to the castle with Leo.
6 days later 100 riders stood in front of the city. Aslan left for Harrenhal for the tournament where Jaime was waiting for him.
Aslan was in a coach with his head on Shaïra's lap. Shaïra brushed Aslan's soft golden hair with a tender and loving expression.
Aslan's eyes were closed and he appreciated each caress given by Shaïra.
Around the carriage stood 100 horsemen and a giant lion with golden hair.
Aslan and his procession had already traveled 4 days and are currently standing in front of Acorn Hall, a town in the Riverlands.
"Who are you!"
A guard on the solid stone rampart shouted.
A horseman stepped forward and said.
"We are the men of Aslan Lannister and we would like to stay in this city one night. Inside there is the young lord's brother, Jaime Lannister."
The surprised guard asked to wait, he was worried seeing 100 horsemen.
10 minutes later, the doors opened and a happy Jaime Lannister was behind the doors.
A rider reports this information and Aslan gets out of the carriage.
Jaime seeing his brother cried out.
"Brother, hahaha you were in the carriage. Usually, you are on a horse."
Faced with his brother's words, Aslan smiled and after sharing a look with a smile, the two made a brotherly hug.
"I was told that you have become a knight, armed by the prince himself ?! What an honor!"
Jaime smiled and replied.
"Don't make fun of me, you are not a knight but you are as strong as the prince."
Aslan smiled and said nothing. Aslan was not a knight because he simply found it unnecessary. Chevalier was just an empty title with no real authority.
"I was told that you fought with bandits in Kingswood. How was it?"
"Well ... it was pretty easy. With a cavalry charge, we slaughtered bandits who surrendered quickly, but I killed many leaders of different groups on my own."
Aslan smiled while looking at Jaime.
After a short time, a soldier came to invite them to the town lord's castle.
Aslan made them wait and went to get Shaira to come with them. Seeing Shaïra get out of the coach, Jaime smirked because all the men around were lost.
The three were escorted to the castle where Theomar Smallwood and his wife, Ravella Swann were waiting for them.
The 5 had dinner and all spoke. Ravella praised Shaïra a lot for her beauty and her chance to marry Aslan.
The next day they all resumed their journey and greeted Lord Theomar and Lady Ravella.
On the way to Harrenhal, they saw different processions sporting different colors and 3 days later Aslan saw a huge colossal burned fortress.
"We have arrived Shaïra, get up."
Aslan woke Shaïra who was sleeping peacefully on her knees with the help of a cushion stuffed with goose feathers.
"Fuaaa ... Have we arrived?"
Aslan rubbed his head and replied.
"Yes look."
Shaïra opened a small window and before her stood a colossal fortress with a blue lake behind. Further in front of the fortress stood a large city and the camps surrounded the city. Between the city and the fortress stood various wooden structures and in the middle stood a massive arena built of wood.
"Wow! It's big and there are a lot of people."
"Yes, there will be many beautiful things to see, you will have fun."
Shaïra was looking outside with sparkling eyes. Aslan sneered at this enthusiasm.
When they got to the camps, a knight wearing the colors of the Whent family stopped them.
"Can I know who you are?"
Aslan parted the curtains of the coach exposing his face and said.
"Aslan, Aslan Lannister."
The guard froze before coming to his senses.
"Please follow me, I will assign you a place on the ground and then you will live in town. Your riders will be taken to the camps intended for them and your horses will be safe."
Aslan nodded and the knight called soldiers taking the horsemen to another area while the knight took Aslan, Shaïra and Jaime inside the city.
