章節 86: 86. Expanding
Alexander stood on a small platform, behind him was the huge Steel Engine. In front of him was a mic. An invention that was still to be introduced. As he'd also need to introduce electricity first or else they will name the technology demonic or god's gift.
"Thank you for coming here everyone, all of you are here to witness the history in making. A machine that will change everything. From this day on, our lives will not be the same. We will be able to travel from the Moat city to The Wintercity in just 3 to 4 hours. We will be able to travel from Wintercity to Norgold in just 5 hours. We will not be limited by the time anymore. All because of my new creation, Train(there was a long whistle from the train as he said that).
I think most of you know how it works as I have been advertising in the newspaper. There will be two kinds of trains. One, which will carry us. Two, which will carry big transport. Imagine being able to transport hundreds of carts worth of food, grains, clothes, metal, and other things in one go. And even that at a speed never seen before. And now, I invite you all to travel with me, from her to Wintercity, to join the Moon festival. Those who can't get on the train shouldn't worry as I have arranged many more trains for today. Enjoy," he finished up and boarded the train.
Mainly the lords boarded first. Then some smallfolks. Alexander went ahead and sat with Robert, Jon, and Oleena. They had specially come to see the train. Tywin also came but he was sitting in another cabin with his family. Cersei was also with him. Surprisingly, Tyrion was also there. Now the boy has probably turned 15 or 16 probably. His unfortunate wife, Tysa had given birth to a healthy baby some months ago. She had named him Alyrion. A mixture of his and Tyrion's name.
...
In the Lannister cabin.
Cersei sat with her father, children, and the despicable dwarf.
The train was moving at a high speed, she looked at the changing scenery outside. Crossing many small rivers along the way. The best thing was that she couldn't even feel that the carriage was moving. It was so much better than traveling in those uncomfortable horse carriages. Here, she could comfortably sit, drink, or eat while looking at the beautiful scenery. She could even sleep if she wanted.
"Such a marvelous way to travel. And fast too. I should tell Lord Stark to make one of these from King's Landing to Casterly Rock. Then I'll be able to comfortably travel." Cersei said, being her usual egoistical.
Tywin was acting of reading some book while secretly admiring the view outside and the train. But his peace was broken by dumb words of Cersei.
"Yes, go on. 'tell' him to make this. You will probably receive another public insult," Tywin mocked.
"Northerners are barbarians. They will do anything for money and money is something we Lannisters have more than enough. I will pay them to make this thing. A Lannister always pays his debts after all." She sneered.
"Except, you're a Baratheon now and yours is the fury," Tyrion interjected.
"Shut up you..."
"He's right. You are a Baratheon now. And I suggest you stop counting on Lannister gold from now on." He said, still not ready to accept that the mines were running dry. But Tyrion saw the look on Tywin's face.
"And stop calling them barbarians too. If barbarians can build mighty cities and Armies, and this train too. Then what does it make us?" Tywin coldly said.
"You have grown soft father, I was and will always be a Lannister. Don't forget, Robert has asked you for gold and with that, you can gain back control over the King's Landing and the King. When my sweet Joffrey becomes the king, it will all be worth it." She lovingly said, looking at her sleeping son.
Joffrey suddenly sleep talked, "KILL IT, KILL IT... SHOW ME BLOOD"
Tywin and Tyrion shook their heads at the same time. They were also having nearly the same thoughts.
~I hope he doesn't get killed like the Mad King~ Tywin thought.
~I hope he doesn't turn into another Mad King~ Tyrion thought.
...
In Alexander's cabin, he was having a nice meal with everyone.
"And then little Rina pricked Benjen's butt with her needle Sword," Alexander retold the story.
"Hahaha... Seriously, Uncle. Whenever I hear all the tales about you Grandfather-daughter. I feel like, when will Myrcella grow so that I can play with her." Robert laughed.
"I hope I'll have a daughter too," Jon added. His wife, Lysa Tully, was again pregnant. Now that there was no Petyr Baelish to mess things up. She grew to love Jon for his kind nature.
"Haha, I hope you aren't using my medicine too much Jon," Alexander said. He had gifted Jon some viagra some months ago.
"How is Willas doing, Lady Tyrell?" Alexander asked, changing the subject.
"Oh, please call me Oleena, Lord Stark. We are all old ones here. Except for our young stag king. Well, Willas has been doing great. He brought many new changes to the administration of the house Tyrell. All thanks to his studies at the Tower of Knowledge. I am now considering sending Loras to study there too." She replied.
"Haha... Tower of Knowledge is open to all, Oleena. By the way, did you receive any news about Renly, Robert?" Alexander asked.
"Actually I did. He said that he wants to study some more before coming back. Seriously, what's so good about living with books?" he made an irritated face.
"Knowledge is power, Robert. Anyway, let's enjoy the meal. I am hoping that many Lords will allow me to buy land for creating a Westeros wide network of railways." Alexander said.
"I can see how this can benefit the world. From me it's already a yes," Jon interjected.
"I don't know if you'd be interested in bringing this to the Stormlands but if you do, then I'll tell Stannis to prepare the deed. And I can already agree for Crownlands." Robert also agreed.
"I will tell Willas to agree to it. I think he's already planning on agreeing after he read about it in the newspaper." Oleena added.
*KNOCK KNOCK*
The door slid open and Oberyn came back with Rina. For some reason, Oberyn really liked talking and spending time with her. He asked her to show him the train and she happily agreed to the duty.
"Haha... Grandpa, Uncle Obi bought me ice-cream." She happily jumped on his lap. Her love for ice-cream still hasn't decreased.
Then they all happily talked for the rest of their journey.
...
The train arrived at the big Wintercity station. People happily got out of the train and looked at the still-lit sky. They had really traveled such a great distance in such a short time. Originally, it would have taken them days to travel this distance.
Wintercity was filled with hundreds of inns, hotels, and restaurants. When Alexander got out and looked at the crowd, he suddenly had the idea of making the wall a tourist destination. He had already created the railway network. Now all they needed there was a nice place to eat and stay. The Wall was, after all, a wonder of the world. 300 miles long, 700 feet tall wall made of ice was a magnificent sight to behold.
Most of the big lords booked rooms on the top 5 floors of the Tower of Knowledge, while the King was being taken to Winterfell to stay.
"Ah... So much has changed here in such a short time. Where's Ned?" Robert asked.
"He's probably in the castle helping manage things," Alexander replied while they rode on the nice horse-driven carriage.
"It must have been really hard on him after what Catelyn did." Robert sadly said.
"Well, we don't speak of her name anymore. Thankfully, Robb and Sansa don't really remember her much. Ned tries his best to fill the void of a mother. Still, I am looking for a suitable wife for him."
"Yes, he needs a good wife, or else he'll turn back to being a serious wolf," Robert acknowledged.
Soon they reached the castle. Ned was already waiting there.
Robert hurriedly got down and hugged his best friend. "Goddammit Ned, you've grown even more muscular. Are you trying to turn into a stag?"
"And look at you. I thought you'd have turned into a fat pig with all the pompous King's treatment by now." Ned replied.
"Hahahaha... I had, I had. But thanks to uncle, I came back on track. Can't have a King die of heart attack now Haha" he howled in laughter.
Then he looked at huge Brandon and gave him a hug. "Brother Brandon, how have you been?"
"I have been fine, your grace," Brandon replied.
"Oh f*ck the Grace. I am just Robert here. Like I used to be." Robert loudly said.
"Ned, Uncle, take me to the Crypts. I want to pay my respects." Robert said solemnly.
Cersei then came towards him to say something but Robert spoke first.
"Don't, don't open your mouth and spoil my mood, woman. Go inside and smell some flowers or something. Don't disturb me." He said and walked with Ned and Alexander.
Everyone was trying to hold their laughter at the berated queen.
~How dare he, I am the queen. He will pay for these insults. They all will~ she internally screamed. Robert had now turned really fit and muscular. He looked really handsome now and Cersei did try to get Robert in line by using her body. But every time, Robert would break her with his manhood and then leave. Though she was wondering why she never got pregnant.
Unknown to her, she would never be a mother after she gave birth to Myrcella. Alexander had stopped it. He knew what lengths Cersei could go to and he didn't want her to give birth to a Baratheon and then later use the child for her personal agenda.
