Glad you liked it :). I have another story going alongside this, so probably in 2 weeks.
That's true. If he brainwashed them, that wouldn't matter if he conquered that land and deposed them appointing his own governors anyways. Targaryens aren't people Damian approves of. Plus Damian wants to build his own empire up to such a level that it stomps over his enemies. He has already condemned slavers in his mind and the Lords of Westeros are parasites in his eyes. Conquest is also good for people's moral and belief in their martial superiority. If he does everything for his people- it would just lead to a weak lazy nation. From an author pov: Conquest is more fun to write about. :P
lol. Hey man you want 500 words a day where nothing happens or 5000 words every 2 weeks where lots happen? Jokes aside, I feel you, man. Irl responsibilities are a bitch and really get in the way of creative writing.
You'll have to see in the next chapter but there are other ways to empower people than titanshifting. The existence of the Ackermans proved that the Founding could tinker with genetics to create bullshit supersoldiers. That's all I'll say.
Probably not for a few more chapters. Remember, it takes a while for information to travel across Essos and then into Westeros. The Lord of Westeros will likely brush it aside as tall tales and hearsay. It wouldn't be until the Empire has operated for a year and conquered territory when Jaehaerys' court would notice.
Flag of the Aetherian Empire:
On a rich purple field, a perfectly circular hollow golden sun blazed, bolts of jagged gold lightning shot outward from its rim.

Oh my sweet summer child. lol. 'Questionable Questing' is a hive of scum, villainy and the kinds of depravity most fanfic websites except for Ao3 do not allow writers to post. Unfortunately, you need an account to view stuff there other than that pretty cool place to read quality fanfics.
Just like that. ^_^ To be fair, this is cyoa v1 Eidolon with Shattered Limiter so this was well within in its power.
Crushing Scion's will and shoddy sapience was an extremely easy task. And since there were no means to track the golden man with any level of reliability, it didn't ring any alarms when he vanished.

The palace came along nicely with its marble arches, large but cozy bedrooms, fountains and pools. Hanging gardens were something I wanted to try and Ymir suggested a few gazebos in the palace gardens for us and our guests to relax in. She insisted that she didn't need a room of her own and that sleeping together was much safer. I didn't buy those reasons for a moment but relented and just moved on to designing the halls and balconies.

She'll be happy for sure. Poor girl deserves. All she needs now is a bit of confidence.
I placed a reassuring hand on her bony shoulder. "That's a very nice name, Ymir."
