Menma smirked as he saw the twin horse statues, "The worm dies before we leave." he announced to his bloodriders,
"How will you kill him without drawing blood within the city?" Spartacus asked
"You'll just have to wait and see." Menma smirked getting excited chuckles from his men before they road off toward the city
An exhausted Viserys unaware of the fate that awaits him paused at the entrance of the holy Dothraki city when Jorah, and Daenerys, "Vaes Dothrak - the city of the horselords." Jorah said
"A pile of mud. Mud and shit and twigs. Best these savages can do?" Viserys asked derisively
"These are my people now. You shouldn't call them savages." Dany said with a frown
"I'll call them what I like, because they're my people. This is my army. Khal Menma is marching the wrong way with my army." Viserys said before he stormed off as Dany shook her head before the khalasar followed her into the city
"If my brother was given an army of Dothraki, could you conquer the Seven Kingdoms?" Dany asked Jorah
"The Dothraki have never crossed the Narrow Sea. They fear any water their horses can't drink." Jorah said
"But if they did?" Dany asked
"King Robert is fool enough to meet them in open battle, but the men advising him are different."
"And you know these men?" Dany asked
"Some, before I left rumor was that his firstborn son had taken control of the advisors."
"Naruto Baratheon?" Dany asked getting a nod from Jorah
"I hear he and Khal Menma had met and fought to a draw just a year ago." Jorah said causing Dany to look at him in surprise
"I thought Menma has never lost a fight?"
"I know not of the reason they battled, but I assume it was for Menma to be the prince sworn shield." Torah incorrectly guessed, "They fought till they collapsed, smiling. Prince Naruto won the respect of the Khal and was allowed to leave with his life. I doubt your brother would survive in his conquest for the Iron Throne."
Red Keep
In the throne room Sansa and Septa Mordane were walking through, towards the Iron Throne, "Someday your husband will sit there and you will sit by his side. And one day, before too long, you will present your son to the court. All the lords of Westeros will gather here to see the little prince." Mordane said
"What if I have a girl?" Sansa asked
"Gods be good, you'll have boys and girls, and plenty of them." Mordane said
"What if I only have girls?" Sansa frowned
"I wouldn't worry about that."
"Jeyne Poole's mother had five children, all of them girls." Sansa replied
"Yes, but it's highly unlikely." Mordane said
"But what if?"
"If you only had girls, I suppose the throne would pass to Prince Joffrey."
"And everyone would hate me." Sansa sighed
"Don't worry about it." Ros said behind the two causing them to jump
"Hello Ros, is Naruto with you?" Sansa asked
"No, he's taking care of some matters. Time for training." Ros said getting a nod from Sansa
"Training, with knives is no activity for a lady." Mordane frowned
"Prince Naruto is the one who wanted her to train to protect herself and their future children. Of you don't like it, you can go and bring it up to him." Ros said causing the Septa to gulp and remain silent, "Come along, Sansa."
Sansa looked to Mordane and followed Ros
With Naruto
In the council room of the castle, Ned and Naruto were with the other lords as a captain of the City Watch came to them to express the need for more help,
"It's the Hands tournament that's causing all this trouble my lord." The captain said as Ned rubbed his head in annoyance
"The Kings tournament. I assure you the hand wants no part of it." Ned said
"Call it what you will Lord Stark sir, but the city is packed with people with more flooding in everyday. Last night we had a tavern riot, a brothel fire, three stabbings, and a drunken horse race down the streets of sisters." The Captain said
"Have u found the suspects of the stabbings, fire, and riot?" Naruto asked
"Yes my prince. They are in the-
"Don't care, as you know anyone guilty of violent offenses is to be castrated and handed over to the wall, no exceptions."
"If you can't keep the Kings peace, perhaps the city watch should be commanded by someone who can." Renly said as he was master of law
"I need more men." The captain said
"You'll get 50, Lannister and Baratheon men." Naruto said
"I can buy the help of some men, my prince." Lord Baelish offered
"Until I finished sorting out the books you are releived of your duties." Naruto said causing Baelish to look shocked and outraged
"Thank you, my prince. They will be put to good use." The captain said as he bowed and then left
"The sooner this is over, the better." Ned sighed
"The realm prospers from such events, my lord. They give the greater a chance at glory and the lowly a respite from their woes." Varys said
"Now… if there's nothing else my lords." Ned said as he got up and they left with Baelish trying to catch Naruto
"My prince, I fear we have gotten off on the wrong foot."
"Do you?" Naruto asked with a small smirk
"Yes, you see the truth of the matter is I had no intention of disobeying your command but King Robert allowed my ownership of the brothels to con-"
"If my father allowed for you to continue ownership why didn't this come up when I confronted you?"
"You had my throat in your hands." Baelish said getting a nod from Naruto
"True, but the law still stands. The truth of the matter Littlefinger is that I don't trust you. I've been busy killing off your little spies within the Red Keep, and soon as I decipher your little code in how you operated the crowns money and your theft, I'm going to kill you." Naruto said seriously before he left
Days passed and the tournament began, Naruto sat with Tommen and Myrcella bored as Sansa and Arya were in the stands for the joust. They were excited for the joust to begin and Arya couldn't wait. Naruto smiled at Sansa before he laid his head back and began to doze off
King Robert then stood up, "We've been sitting here for day! Start the damn joust before I piss myself." Robert yelled, drunk from wine as Cersei frowned in disgust
Cersei seeing Naruto had fallen asleep walked over and shook him away, "Come along you need rest." Naruto sighed and stood up before he left with Cersei laying his head on her shoulder
The jousters then made their way to the field, one was a very tall man wearing black armor and he stood out because he was the largest
"Who is that?" Sansa asked Ros who frowned at the man
"Ser Gregor Clegane, they call him the Mountain. The hounds older brother." Ros said
"And his opponent?" Sansa asked
"Ser Hugh of the Vale. He was Jon Arryn's squire, look how far he's come." Ros said as both jousters nodded to the king
"Yes, yes enough of the bloody pomp, have at it!" Robert told them
The two riders went to their respective corners for the joust. When they got to their ends, squires came up and handed them their shields and jousting lances. A horn was blown as the two raced at one another with their spears out. The first ride, the Mountain smacked Ser Hugh but no damage was done. Everyone watched with awe as the two riders quickly reset and charged at each other again. This time, the Mountain thrusts his lance forward and it hit Ser Hugh right in the neck. Sansa screamed as everyone was shocked to see what happened. Ser Hugh fell off his horse and everyone saw a giant wooden splinter in this throat. He was gasping, trying to breath but his wound was too substantial and coughed up blood before ultimately dying
Two squires came up and dragged his body away as Ros shook her head. "Idiot."
Ros was soothing Sansa and Arya who just witnessed a murder as Littlefinger whispered into her ear. "Not what you were expecting. Has anyone ever told you of the story of the mountain and the hound?"
"No." Ros said
"A lovely little tale of brotherly love. The Hound was just a pup, 6 years old maybe, Gregor a few years older, already a big lad getting a bit of a reputation. Some lucky boys just born with a talent for violence. One evening, Gregor found his little brother playing with a toy by the fire, Gregor's toy. A wooden knight, Gregor never said a word, he just grabbed his brother by the scruff of his neck and shoved his face into the burning coals. Held him there while the boy screamed, while his face melted."
"Why are you telling me this?" Ros asked
"I hear you like to learn abouto Kings Landing knight's, lords, and the like. But don't tell anyone of the story. For if the Hound knew, I fear there would not be enough knights in Kings Landing to protect you." Peter said before he left eager to get Ros under his thumb
Vaes Dothrak
Daenerys was smiling as she finished training in swordplay with her sister wives, and the wives of her husbands bloodriders, she was happy as she finally had friends to call her own, as she sat down and waited for supper she placed a hand to her belly before she looked up when she heard screaming
Viserys was dragging Doreah by her hair to his sisters tent and when he entered the tent he threw her in front of Daenerys, "You send this whore to give me commands?! I should have sent you back her head!"
"Forgive me, Khaleesi." Doreah sobbed
"Hush now, it's alright. Take her and leave us." Daenerys told Irri who grabbed the girl and quickly left, "Why did you hit her?"
"How many times do I have to tell you? You do not command me!" Viserys said in anger
"I wasn't commanding you. I just wanted to invite you to supper." Daenerys said
"What's this?" Viserys asked, holding the clothes on a table
"It's a gift, I had it made for you." Daenerys said
"Dothraki rags, you're going to dress me now. This stinks of manure! All of it!" Viserys yelled in frustration as he threw the clothes and a golden necklace at her
"Stop, Stop it!" Daenerys demanded
"You would turn me into one of them, wouldn't you. Next you'll want to braid my hair." Viserys glared
"You've no right to a braid, you've won no victories yet." Daenerys glared back
"You do not talk back to me!" Viserys said as he slapped her hard across the face and she fell to the ground. He got on top of her to hit her again, "You are a horse lords slut, and now you've awoken the Dragon!"
Daenerys then grabbed the necklace he threw at her, which was on the ground and hit him in the face with it, as he fell to his side in pain and she got up, "I am Khaleesi of the Dothraki! I am a wife of the great Khal and I carry his son inside me. The next time you raise a hand to me, will be the last time you have hands." Daenerys threatened her shocked brother before she left
Night had come and Viserys hadn't been seen since the incident. Daenerys was with Mormont in her tent discussing what happened, hours ago, "I hit him, I hit the Dragon."
"Your brother Rhegar was the last dragon. Viserys is less then the shadow of a snake." Mormont said
"He is still the true king." Daenerys said
"Truth now. Do you want to see your brother sitting on the Iron Throne?" Mormont asked
"No. But the common people are awaiting for him. Illyrio said they are sewing Dragon banners and awaiting for his return." Daenerys said
"The common people pray for rain, health and a summer that never ends. They don't care what games the high lords play." Mormont said
"What do you pray for, Ser Jorah?" Daenerys asked
"Home."
"I pray for home too. My brother will never take back the 7 kingdoms. He couldn't lead an army even if my husband gave him one. They'll never take us home." Daenerys said
Hours Later
Naruto and Cersei rejoined the tournament both looking refreshed as they sat down, while Ned joined as well sitting beside Sansa after he dissuaded Robert from riding, part because he was the king and no one would dare hurt him and the other because he was too fat for his armor.
The crowd cheered as The Mountain rode down the jousting court to the center stage to bow to the King. Ned looked around and noticed Arya missing. "Where is Arya?"
"At her lessons." Sansa said then saw the next joust rider, "The knight of the flowers." She smiled as they saw Loras Tyrell, one of the most skilled knights in the land ride up to them
He rode up to Ned and handed a rose to Sansa. "Thank you, Ser Loras." She said as Loras nodded to her then looked up at Renly who nodded him to get into position. Loras then rode up to the King and bowed but the Mountain's horse began to act erratically. The horse was neighing and moving rather erratically as Loras smiled while the Mountain got control over his horse and rode to his corner.
Both knights grabbed their shields and lances as they readied to joust, "Don't let Ser Gregor hurt him." Sansa said as she grabbed her father's arm. "I can't watch."
"100 gold dragons on the mountain." Baelish said to Renly
"I'll take that bet." Renly replied
"Now what will I buy with a hundred gold Dragons. A dozen barrels of Dornish wine, or a girl from the pleasure house of Lys." Baelish said.
"You can even buy a friend." Renly said.
"He's going to die." Sansa said to her father, not wanting to see another murder
"Ser Loras rides well." Ned said
The horn sounded as the two riders rode toward one another. The Mountain's horse was still acting strange and this gave Ser Loras the advantage and he was able to spear and knock the Mountain off his horse
"Such a same, Little finger. Would have been so nice for you to have a friend." Renly told him.
"And tell me Lord Renly, when will you be having your friend?" Lord Baelish asked, as he pointed to Ser Loras.
The crowd cheered as Ser Loras rode to the King to soak in the adulation. Naruto noticed his demeanor before when he bowed to the King, "Loras knew his mare was in heat. Quite crafty really." Naruto said as Myrcella, Cersei, Robert, and Tommen looked at him
"Ser Loras would never do that. There's no honor in tricks." Myrcella said
"No honor but quite a bit of gold." Naruto said
The Mountain got back onto his feet and yanked off his helmet in anger. "SWORD!" He yelled as Ser Loras rode to the King, waving. A squire ran to the Mountain and handed him his sword, which he used to semi-decapitate and kill his horse to the crowds shock, and horror,
Gregor then stormed toward Loras but Naruto got in his path, and looked at him coldly, "Try it. I dare you."
Ser Gregor looked at Naruto enraged before he tossed down his sword and stormed off,
Later
Naruto stood in his room, shirtless as he strapped his kunai to his waist, "Are you seriously going to enter?" Ros asked behind him in a vest, and combat pants with 2 tanto's strapped to her back and her daggers sheathed at the small of her back and on her thighs
"Of course, I need some entertainment" Naruto said
"Then let me give it to you." Ros said causing Naruto to look at her, "Let me show the people who think I'm just some whore that I deserve to stand by you and they would be fools to try anything."
"I thought only my opinion mattered?" Naruto asked smirkinh
"It does, but I won't allow anyone to look down on you for your decision to be with me." Ros said
Naruto nodded, "Fine. You win, and show everyone why they would be fools to underestimate you just because your a woman." he said getting a smile from Ros before they shared a kiss
Later
Naruto smirked as he watched Ros as the men leered at her but she ignored them all, "Naruto, are you sure your girl should be out there?" Robert asked
"She'll be fine. I'd wager that shed win the entire thing." Naruto smirked
"Care to make a wager, my prince?" Baelish asked
"3 million Gold dragons." Naruto said causing everyone to pause and look at him before the Nobles eagerly bet against him, as the crown prince was obviously drunk to put that type of money on a woman to fight like that
Instructions were explained to everyone and the melee was broken down into parts. There will be an elimination round in the start. The arena was designed for a large and crowded battle, so all three hundred will be inside the arena, fighting until only eight people were still standing. Then those eight will draw for the fighting orders, and from there it would one on one matches between them until there was only one man left. That one man will be the winner and will receive twenty thousand gold dragons.
The crowd of three hundred was separated into four groups and place behind four gates that led into the battle arena. The arena itself was several times as large as the jousting field, and even with five hundred men there would be free space for a number of battles. The ground of the arena was plain dirt mixed with sand, and there was a ten foot tall wall surrounding the whole area. The people in the common viewing area would have a hard time watching the fights, but the high-borns on the pavilion will be able to watch perfectly.
"Can you even swing those swords?" asked a gruff voice belonging to a large man with a battle-axe in his hand. His beard was down to his chest and his face looked red from wine; clearly one of the slower of combatants. "I can't believe you actually thought you should join this battle!" the man laughed along with a few others. "Drop out now and I'll give you a sword you can really handle."
Ros raised an eyebrow, "I'd rather die." she said
"You will." the man nodded smirking, "Then me and my friends will fuck your corpse.""
Ros ignored the man and waited for the gates to open, which didn't take too long. After another minute or two, the gate shuddered and the slightest bit of light shined through the crack it made. Soon the gate was being pulled high into the air and the men flooded through the door. The arena was almost immediately packed with battles and some people on the pavilion were on their feet trying to get a better look at the battle
Already Ros could hear cries of pain and anguish and the sound of blood splashing against the walls. Killings were usually frowned upon, but certainly common in the melee, and Ros was sure that many wanted to kill her, especially the big man with the axe
"You're dead whore!" cried the same man wielding his axe, lifting it over his head as he charged over at Ros, planning to take her head from her body
Ros ducked low and wrapped her leg around the man's and slammed her knee into his armored torso causing it to dent as he fell before Ros turned and slammed her other knee into his face causing his head to explode
Ros turned again and grabbed her tanto and bisected the man's friend, before she flipped over a swing of a war hammer and turned to its wielder and cut his throat before she sheathed her blade and took the hammer and spun out of the way of a spear that stabbed into another fighter before she slammed the warhammer into the spear wielder's back impaling him on the first sending him sliding into the man he stabbed before Ros hit the but of the spear sending it flying out of the two men into another 3 men before it stabbed itself into the wall
Ros grunted as a sword scratched the back of her armored vest, quickly she rolled to the side from a downward slash that would've split her in two, as she came up from her roll she unsheathed her dagger and stabbed it deep into the mans throat before she spun the warhammer on her back and into his head sending it flying into an oncoming man as she caught her dagger that was dislodged from the mans throat when she knocked his head off
Ros discarded the warhammer and raced forward before she slid beneath two sword slashes and stabbed her daggers into the two men ribs before she used her momentum to flip into the air as she brutally ripped her daggers free causing a chuck of skin, muscle and bone to go flying before kicked off the divider and into another man and stabbed him in the throat
Naruto was smirking as he watched Ros battle while the nobles all were shocked as no one expected this from a woman, Cersei was shocked and proud, while Arya was in complete awe of Ros
The men tried to surround Ros finding it embarrassing for a woman to have survived this long, as Ros smirked at them
"Well come on then." Ros smirked unsheathing her blades,
A man yelled as he charged with his sword held high but Ros' tanto found his forehead before Ros spun into him snatching her blade and cutting the arm off of another man causing him to scream in pain as Ros ducked and dodged 2 attacks and stabbed the 2 men in their foot before she jumped and kicked the two in the head sending them kneeling forward as Ros fell onto her back before she kicked up to her feet and moved one man on the path of a stab for her heart before she removed her sword and stabbed the man that attempted to kill her in the face before she grabbed her second blade from the mans foot and decapitated him
Ros looked around and noted she was all that remained,
Everyone was shocked except for Naruto who was smirking as the common peaople began to cheer for Ros, along with Arya
Septa Mordane was disgusted with Ros, as that wasn't how a lady should act and as she saw Sansa clapping as well for her friend and teacher she got a sinking feeling that maybe she shouldn't marry the prince after all if that is what he will turn her into
Next Day
Naruto and Ros returned from their trip to the orphanage when they saw Arya dirty and trying to enter the Red Keep, "Off with you. No begging." a guard said
"I'm not a beggar. I live here." Arya replied
"D'you want a smack on your ear to help you with your hearing?" Gaurd1 asked
"I want to see my father." Arya said
"I want to fuck the Queen, for all the good it does me." guard2 said smugly causing Naruto's eyes to narrow
"You want your father, boy? He's lying on the floor of some tavern, getting pissed on by his friends." Gaurd1 smirked
"Arya." Naruto said causing the 3 to look at him and Ros as they walked closer,
"Naruto." Arya smiled
"My prince we were-"
"I heard, everything." Naruto glared causing the two to gulp, "Let's go."
Arya walked with Naruto as Ros behind themquickly slit the guards throat and followed Naruto and Arya
"So how goes water dancing?' Naruto asked
"Great, my instructor is a great swordsman."
"Well I can't wait to see you with a blade, maybe when you get older I'll induct you into my personal guard." Naruto smirked
"Really?" Arya asked excitedly
"Sure. Your going to be family, and I look out for family. Except for Joffrey, he's a royal prick that one." Naruto said causing Arya to giggle
"Will you come to my lesson later?" Arya asked Ros
"I would love to but I'm afriad I cannot, Naruto and I will be leaving soon as we have to go and get a few things and we won't return for a few days." Ros said causing Arya to frown, "But when we return I expect you to show me everyhing youve learned, hm?"
Arya nodded before she was sent along to her father
"Let's get everything ready." Naruto said to Ros who nodded and they went off to pack
Later
Ned walked out shocked by news that he received before he paused and saw Naruto and Ros getting their horses ready, "My prince, are you leaving?" Ned asked
"Yeah, headed to Harrenhal, some of my men and our belongings are still there." Naruto said to Ned who nodded a bit relieved that Naruto was going after his wife who had taken Tyrion
"My prince, Lord Stark, your presence has been requested in the small council chamber. A meeting has been called." The royal steward said
"I need to see the King first—alone." Ned frowned causing Naruto to raise an eyebrow
"The King is at the Small Council meeting, my Lord. He has summoned you both." The steward said
"Is it about my wife?" Ned asked
"No, my Lord. I believe it concerns Daenerys Targaryen." the steward said causing the two to look at each other
Small Council
All the members were present, including Robert, "The whore is pregnant." he said causing Naruto to frown
"You're speaking of murdering a child." Ned replied
"I warned you this would happen. Back in the North, I warned you, but you didn't care to hear. Well, hear it now. I want 'em dead, mother and child both. And that fool, Viserys as well. Is that plain enough for you? I want them both dead." Robert demanded
"You will dishonor yourself forever if you do this." Ned said
"Honor?! I've got Seven Kingdoms to rule! One King, Seven Kingdoms! Do you think honor keeps them in line? Do you think it's honor that's keeping the peace? It's fear! Fear and blood!" Robert yelled
"Then we're no better than the Mad King!" Ned yelled in return
"Careful, Ned. Careful now." Robert glared
"You want to assassinate a girl because the Spider heard a rumor?" Naruto asked
"No rumor, my prince. The princess is with child." Verys said
"Based on whose information?" Ned asked
"Ser Jorah Mormont. He is serving as adviser to the Targaryens." Varys said causing Naruto to narrow his eyes
"Mormont? You bring us the whispers of a traitor half a world away and call it fact?" Ned asked
"Jorah Mormont's a slaver, not a traitor. Small difference, I know, to an honorable man." Littlefinger said
"He broke the law, betrayed his family, fled our land. We commit murder on the word of this man?" Ned asked
"And if he's right? If she has a son? A Targaryen at the head of a Dothraki army...what then?" Robert asked
"There is already a Targaryen at the head of a Dothraki army." Naruto said causing everyone to look at him, "Khal Menma is the son of Princess Shaena, Rheagars elder sister."
"How do you know this?" Robert asked
"During my travels I heard of the man who became Khal on his one and two nameday, I tried to get him to become my sword shield and we fought each other to a draw, and became friends." Naruto said
"Menma has no desire to cross the sea, he may be a Targaryen but he was raised as nothing but a Dothraki. He follows its customs and doesn't care for Westeros at all. Viserys may want to come back but if you leave it up to Menma, the Mad Kings last son will be dead before long."
"Do nothing? That's your wise advice? Do nothing til our enemies are on our shores?!" Robert yelled
"I understand your misgivings, my Lord Hand. Truly, I do. It is a terrible thing we must consider, a vile thing. Yet, we who presume to rule must sometimes do vile things for the good of the realm. Should the gods grant Daenerys a son, the realm will bleed." Varys said
"I bear this girl no ill will, but should the Dothraki invade, how many innocents will die? How many towns will burn? Is it not wiser, kinder even, that she should die now so that tens of thousands might live?" Pycelle asked
"We should have had them both killed years ago." Renly said
"When you find yourself in bed with an ugly woman, best close your eyes, get it over with. Cut her throat. Be done with it." Littlefinger replied
"You try anything it will make Menma want to cross. You'll be the instigator of a war with a man who doesn't want anything to do with Westeros." Naruto said
"I followed you into war twice, without doubts, without second thoughts. But I will not follow you now. The Robert I grew up with didn't tremble at the shadow of an unborn child." Ned said
"She dies." Robert growled causing Naruto to shake his head and walk away
"I will have no part in it." Ned said
"You're the King's Hand, Lord Stark. You'll do as I command or I'll find me a Hand who will." Robert replied
Ned removed the Hand of the King badge and tossed it onto the table, still looking at Robert with a look of disappointment, "And good luck to him. I thought you were a better man. My sister thought you a better man."
Robert looked enraged
With Naruto
Naruto sighed before he climbed onto his horse, "Everything okay?"
"The fat oaf is going to start a war with Menma. Let's go." Naruto said before the two road away out of the Red Keep and of Kings Landing
Finished
