-------------------------------

This disease got created from the combination of different uncurable ones in this world. Edward did not hear about those diseases in his past life, which meant those things were the results of magic or curses. It could take only one day before annihilating a whole city. It first turned the skin into a green color. After that, it started absorbing all the nutrients inside the boy. The body started smelling like Onion after three days of the person's death.

The fatal danger came from the duration this thing needed for a process like that and how it could spread. It would only take twelve minutes before absorbing the body's nutrients, making the person lose his life a few minutes after that happened. After that, the dead body became a carrier and would release the virus in the air, making anyone near it die as well. That was why it was the most fetal thing that Edward witness in this world. The best thing, which made it convenient in Edward's eyes, was that the virus or the carrier would die after only one die, and it would dissolve in water which meant that it could not spread through water. The smell of the Onion indicated that everything was fine and that the virus died as well. So as long as no one managed to escape from the place for a day, the disease would die.

That was why Edward decided to use it against Bravos. With his fleets surrounding the city from all directions for years, sinking every ship that came out or in, he could send someone he did not like with the disease and kill him with the city. It sounded cruel to kill tens of thousands like that, but Edward did not care. He had already had enough with those annoying bastards in Bravos, so he decided to end them all without leaving anyone alive.

He thought of doing the same in Pentos but changed his mind. Pentos and its magisters were just a week fools without any support, and he preferred to have their heads himself. He would change the city to a no-master and no-noble one. Although Edward killed the masters and nobles of the other cities, he did not change the system running those cities since his men took those positions. Plus, he wanted his men to take care of those cities for him since he did not have the ability to manage all this empire with his own hands. Edward would send his sons and commanders to govern a whole area, though. By doing that and rotating the nobles and commanders, he would manage to test their loyalty. But his plan for Pentos would be something different. Since Pentos was the nearest city to his Capitol, Storm's Eye, Edward planned to appoint one of his sons to rule the city.

Anyway, After Edward left the scene that would remain as a stain on Winterfell's face, he walked towards the Great Keep, intending to see Bran, who would become the three-eyed raven soon, before leaving. As for the others in the scene, their expressions changed after Edward left. The shocked and fearful faces were everywhere, and everyone remembered the tales that their nanas told them when they were young about the fearful Stormking. Although they thought that those things were just myths because they did not witness it and how Edward treated everyone after the rebellion, the legend proved that it was the truth on this day.

Robert, who was still on the ground, was looking at the sky, not knowing what to do anymore. What Edward's action of torturing him and slapping his wife like that meant was not just a slap on his face as a king but as a man as well. He thought that after he became the king of the six kingdoms, he would surpass his brother that had weighed on his heart for god know how long, but nothing changed after all those years. He was still nothing in front of his brother who could step on his face like that without caring. He had listened to the Lannisters before and threatened Edward with an army to try to get the lands of Crownlands after three years of taking the throne. He thought that with the Lannister and the other kingdoms behind his back, Robert would not need to fear his brother anymore.

But looking at this scene right now and at what happened after he threatened Edward, Robert felt depressed since he would never have the ability to defeat his brother in this life. He could not do that fifteen years ago, and he surely could not do that now as well. It seemed that because of Edward, Robert would die earlier than what happened in the canon.

As for Ned Stark, he stood there without knowing what to do or say anymore. What could he say to console Robert and the other Lannisters after what happened in his castle on Edward's hands? Although he was a little upset that Edward did not respect him and did something like that in Winterfell, making him lose some of his face and honor, he would not just cut his relationship with Edward after he did that. Edward was much more closer to Ned than the current Robert, who had betrayed Ned's trust put on him more than one time. Plus, Ned was sure that Edward did something like that for a reason. Since Edward did not go this wild for nearly a decade, Ned was sure that the Lannister was behind all this. And Ned could swear that with that woman's poisonous mouth, she was the one behind what happened here.

Ned could only ask for some soldiers to take Jaimie to maester Luwin in order to treat Jaimie's hand. If Ned did not do that, Jaimie would probably die from blood loss after his hand got cut like that. He himself went to check on Robert without paying any attention to the dead soldiers.

"How are you doing, Robert?" Asked Ned after he saw the absent looking on his childhood friend's face. Although he was mad at Robert and did not take him as his dear friend from the past anymore, he still considered him his king. Ned Stark would never break an oath, and he swore one to Robert, so he was going to uphold that oath. He was going to hold his word and honor to the bitter end. That was Ned's problem in Edward's eyes. Although Ned could be a loyal friend, who could serve Edward without any kind of betrayal, Edward was sure that Ned would never break his oath. He would always side with Robert. That was a sin in Edward's eyes.
