We play people's games

by fvdv123

Old guy's brother went through 4 Potter-verses and ended up in Westeros for his next level. This can be read as a stand-alone if you accept the Skills he brought along. His previous levels were done in: The games people play. As always Cringe and Crack are included. The bloody Game is still in Extreme Hard Mode. Insert/Multi

8. Chapter 8

Disclaimer:

Mr. M, Yours is a very brutal world, where the small folks are being trampled like bugs… ok I start to like it here, I bring some of J.K.'s puppets along to play. For free ofc.

Previous:

Our actions were followed by the higher-ups. Tully said: "Did you see that? Three little boys killed two King's guards as if they were untrained foot soldiers. Bring them to me if they survive the battle."

The battle ended when Baratheon hammered Prince harp. We were exhausted, at the camp, we drank a bit and ate some bread, and fell asleep.

Tittle Reactivated: Eyeball Harry.

8 Save the little princess?

We woke up when our Sergeant? Lieutenant? Captain? I don't know the ranking of the small folks in the Riverlands, he stuck his head into the tent and bellowed to get up and dress properly. Our Lord Tully wanted to see us.

Grumbling we dressed: "Dress properly? We only have one outfit. Does he think we are noble folks?" Aron warned: "We better behave, those high born are easily offended. Harry, you killed a lot of them yesterday. The way you threw those daggers was amazing, it was like the warrior was guiding you."

With a snap, I said: "Never say that again Aron! There are a lot of religious nutcases running around searching for a new sign of the gods. If that sign does not want to follow their rules, that sign will end up in a ditch."

They led us to the command tent filled with a lot of shiny armors, most are Northerners and Fishes, some Vales and Stormlanders.

Our minder said: "These are the three lads you asked for My Lord." Huh, he asked for us himself? A Northern asked: "You saw these three kids kill two of the best knights of the Kings guard Hoster?"

Hoster said: "Aye, I had my eye on those two when they wanted to break a strong position we held. One of the lads threw a spear at Selmy's horse, Selmy fell in front of the lads and got killed with a stab in the eye. Darry's horse stumbled over the horse from Selmy, He went on foot to these three, working together one lad distracted him, the other two stabbed Darry with their spears. The first lad finished him with a stab in the eye. Reports from the battlefield say that there are a lot of knights killed with a stab or dagger in the eye. Most men say it was three lads working behind the front fighters."

Bolton said: "So they were stabbing from behind the fighters, not very honorable." I could not control myself: "We are ten and two years old my Lord, we were not fighting for honor, but to live another day."

Ned stark laughed: "Yet that mouth can get you killed faster than a sword lad. Mind your words." Blackfish commented: "He has a point though, small folk doesn't care for honor on the battlefield. They want to survive it. We counted thirty-seven men that got a dagger or a stab through the eye. Those include Selmy and Darry. Twelve of them with a dagger, all of them Landed Knights. Tell me, boy, why did you target them?"

I shrugged: "They were easy targets with their shiny armors. Shiny armors command the small folks. Better to cut the head off instead of the tail."

Stunned silence, that was not their way, they capture the knights and ransom them back to their families.

Hoster Tully said: "Maybe the lads want to learn about honor. They deserve a reward for their deeds. In the camps already stories are told about the Three Lads and Eyeball Harry, that would be you right?"

I nodded: "My name is Harry yes, this is Bart and Aron My Lord."

"Who is your Lord boy?" I answered: "The last few years Lord Blackwood My Lord." Blackwood said: "You are one from the Tits aren't you?" I just nodded.

William Dustin laughed: "Lad when this war is over and you survived, you will be my squire. You don't mind Tytos? I like the lad." With a nod, I am transferred to the North? Wtf?

William said: "Stay with your friends until we get the throne lad. Come see me after that."

Back in our tent, I sighed: "I am fucked." Bart looked puzzled: "How come?" I said: "I am not going to be a real squire, more like a toy to play with. Northerners don't have knights. He was poking at the Tullys and Starks. Didn't you see their faces twitch when he claimed me? If he was really serious, then I would be in his tent right now."

The trip to Kings landing was uneventful, I managed to catch some birds to train my Natural Animagus, Dove, Sparrow, Seagull, the best catch was an eagle. With five Bird Animagus, I was set. Along the way, the men were jealous but stopped bugging me when they saw me practice with knife throwing and dual-wielding swords. It is unnerving to see daggers always hit the bullseye.

When we reached Kings Landing, I changed into my sparrow and flew to the Red Keep. From the previous level, I knew where Elia was located. The sacking of King's landing began. With a quick teleport to the Throne room just behind Jaime Lannister I knocked him out, a stab with my dagger in the eye, and the Mad King is a dead king The third person in the room is that Pyromancer, meh, he got a stab too.

The room next to Elia and her kids was empty when I ported in, checking the hallway, I noticed it was guarded by Lannister men.

I took the risk, changed my face, and Teleported invisible into the room. The door got sealed and the room silenced before the invisible spell is removed: "Lady Martell, we don't have much time, the Lannisters betrayed the Mad King and are coming to kill you. Now, are you afraid of magic?"

Elia was shocked by my appearance: "How did you get here? How? What? The Lannisters betrayed us?"

"Yes, they did and are coming to kill you and your kids. Tywin is mad at the king and you are going to pay for it. Do you want to be saved? It will be very disturbing for you and your children."

Elia nodded and started to pack her stuff. While she was doing that, I transfigured some furniture in bodies looking like the princess and her kids. All with a stab wound in their heart, making it look like a suicide.

"I am going to transfigure you into mice until we are in Dorne. Agreed?" Elia looked at her stabbed lookalikes and nodded." I made a nice nest in my backpack, spelled it with notice-me-not's and shock absorbents, and Teleported to the secret passages.

The vault was on my way, the guards were no challenge, two big chests got a featherweight, and shrunk, to end up in my pockets… I took two more, you know, a nest egg? I sealed the vault to prevent looters… Lannisters to get their hands on it.

With my passengers I could not transform, that would result in some strange creature. Outside the keep, I spotted some Dustin men and called: "Hey I found a secret passage! You are Lord Dustin's men yes? I am going to be his squire. Come over here!" The men were guided into the throne room where Jaime lay on the floor and the king sat there with a dagger in his eye.

When they looked wary at me I said: "He ordered to burn the City with Wildfire. That man there said right away, my King. I crept behind this guard, knocked him out, and killed the two others."

A man-at-arms said to me: "You are not a simple boy are you?" I shrugged: "I always seem to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. But I could not let them burn a whole city. This is why I called you." I turned Jaime and asked: "Who is this?"

The man said: "The Lannister lad. Daddy won't be happy." The doors slammed open and Ned Stark walked in with Lord Dustin and Bolton. Surprised he looked at the scene. The Man-at-arms pointed at me and said: "He did it!" Son of a bitch!

Well, the rest was like canon Gregor and Lorch raped and mutilated the furniture, making Stark go mad at them. There might be some curses placed on some people, like the furniture rapers and Bolton

New Tittle: Kingslayer

Another one. I hitched a ride to Dorne with Lord Dustin, regularly healing my butt from saddle sore, Lord Dustin became quite fond of me along the way when I could keep up for a minute against him with sword practice. At the tower of Joy, we confronted the King's guard.

Instead of talking it over, they began to fight, I needed Lord Dustin for the ride home, so I threw a dagger at the King's guard swords arm. To the two others as well and ran into the tower, Lyanna was bleeding out, with a Major Heal and a Rejuvenation she got out of danger.

I said to her: "I did this not for you, but for a memory. I call a life debt on you Lyanna Stark, you are not to tell anyone about me healing you. Now let the boy drink."

I released Elia and the kids from their transfiguration did some Clear Minds on them to remove the trauma of being a mouse for so long and told Lyanna: "Elia was here all the time, the ones in the Red Keep were lookalikes."

The memory of the midwife was altered, and I ported outside. The three King's guards were tied up. It was easy to alter their memories too. I think I have altered history enough for now.

Lord Stark told me: "Lad, by wounding the King's guard you prevented a hard fight, but there was no honor in your actions." I asked him: "Would you survived it with honor alone my Lord? These are good fighters, I reckoned your Lady sister is more important. Also, my Lord, I noticed there is no honor on the battlefield, only life, and death."

Stark went to his sister, Lord Dustin said to me: "Sorry lad, but you are a trouble magnet, and you are rubbing important people the wrong way. I think it is best you stay in Dorne. Lannister will have a grudge for stealing their kill and knocking Jaime out, Bolton for being sassy to him, and Ned here for not having enough honor."

"I understand my Lord, I will find my own way in life, maybe I can get a job here." He nodded and handed a small purse to me: "This will get you a good start."

Lord Stark came out with a strange expression on his face, he took his Bannermen aside to talk things over. Elia came outside and asked: "What have you done?" Smiling at her I answered: "I changed the guard's memories so they think you were here all the time and the ones in the Red Keep lookalikes. Now lady Martell, I just got fired from my job, am I welcome in Dorne?"

She nodded: "Yes you are, we can use a boy with your talents." I shook my head: "Those days are gone my Lady, I am my own man now. I am going to buy a nice mansion south from here close to the sea, and study a bit. Lord Stark is done with his meeting let's hear what they have to say."

Lord stark said to Elia: "Lady Targaryen, we have been deceived. The letters Lyanna wrote never arrived, only the message that she was abducted. Your good father burning my father and hanging my brother drove it over the edge. We will leave Lyanna and her boy here. House Tully has a lot to answer for."

Before I left them, I cast sleep on those King's guards and healed them enough so they will fully recuperate. With a bow, I changed into my eagle animagus, looked at Elia, and flew up to the sky.

Now I am FREE! My eagle flew south to the sea, where I bought a nice stretch of land with a simple home on it from the local lord, disguised as a young knight that want to buy a summer house with his father's money.

Servants to clean and cook came from the village nearby.

For the next two years, I practiced magic and fought in the Zombie Dungeon. It went slow, the zombies were five levels higher than me and are a bitch to kill. My Spatial Magic was starting to be high enough to create storage rings. Finally, after more than two years I reached level 15! Bobby was free again!

It is time to steal some eggs.

Xxxxx

On a cloudy night, a dark shadow flew high in the sky, close to Old Town the shape changed into a tiny bird, that glided to the Citadel, and landed on a windowsill of the library. The bird changed form into a human, casting an invisibility spell, and vanished from sight. The window opened and closed unnoticed.

An hour later a boy Teleported out of the building with a large bag in his hands. He made a tour around the citadel and Teleported outside the city, he looked at the flames that rose above the Citadel. With a grin, he activated the portkey home.

The next day, I saddle my horse and say to the servants that I am called home to marry my betrothed and be gone for a few months. The wards activated when I left. When I reached Starfall I summoned Astoria.

We did a small tour of Dorne, before returning to my mansion. The two years I spent here did wonders for our comfort. The tent we used on the way had all the luxuries of the best wizarding tent, including the animal and muggle repellents. Although some bandits thought we were easy targets, we had a good time. When our little tour was over, Dorne was a lot safer.

At home, Astoria trained her animagus form, determent to learn it fast, the memories she had from the previous level motivated her.

Three months later, our head maid had a request: "Ser Harry, there are High Lords and Ladies in our village that are asking for permission to visit here. Ser, they are the Martells!"

Astoria said: "Harry, you best allow them in."

I grinned at Astoria: "Let's send some warning that we are not their puppets." I concentrated and send my Bobby Patronus to Elia. At the local tavern, a medium-sized transparent dragon appeared before Elia: "Lady Elia, follow the road north from the village, our servant will guide you."

Elia said to Oberyn: "Brother behave, he was a small boy last time we met, and he disabled three Kings guards with just three knife throws. I fear he is tenfold more dangerous. Even his servants can't speak about him to strangers."

Oberyn nodded, the transparent dragon took him by surprise: "I will sister, I expected some tricks and an illusion show, this is something completely different." Elia sighed: "Now you believe the mouse story? How do you think he kept me hidden from Stark?"

Oberyn sagged his shoulders: "Yes I believe you now, you have to admit sister that it was an outrageous tale. Come, let us see the young man."

Xxxxx

I received the Martells in front of my house: "Welcome honored guests, let us break bread and salt first. And introductions later."

Meanwhile, the guards were led to a small building to stable the horses the servant said: "Please Sers, don't ask me to explain it because I can't. You have to see it for yourselves. We are going to hire stable boys to take care of your horses.

When the guards led their horses in, they entered a big hall with room for a hundred horses. With all the modern facilities. There were two horses in luxurious stalls. Speechless they unsaddled the horses.

The servant whispered: "When Ser Harry returned with Lady Astoria, he redecorated the whole building. These stables are only a small example."

Outside, Lady Elia introduced everyone: "Ser Harry, may I introduce my brother Oberyn, his paramour Ellaria Sand, and his daughters Obara Sand, Nymeria Sand, and Tyene Sand. Brother, this is Ser Harry. You have to excuse me Ser Harry but I never knew your last name."

I smiled at her: "Let me correct that My Lady, My Name is Harry Potter, by my side is my lovely wife, Astoria Potter, from House Greengrass. Welcome to my home as my honored guests. Your guards are shown to their quarters as we speak. Allow us to show us the guest rooms."

Astoria and I led them inside, when the Martells walked in the hall their mouths hung open. Instead of a small mansion, the inside was expanded tenfold. Everything was decorated with bass reliefs and paintings that have moving pictures.

We led them upstairs, you already guessed it, a big posh marble staircase with a metal railing that was so much decorated with vines and flowers, mythical dragons, it could only be made with magic.

Their rooms took some explanation: "This handle will turn the lights on, this handle will regulate the brightness. Every room in your suite has them. The bathroom is in here, we have two ways for bathing, this is the normal bath, these handles regulate the temperature of the water. Here are the different kinds of soaps, the symbols on them depict for what part of the body it is specialized.

If you don't have much time, there is a shower, for these, handles regulate the flow and temperature, the water will flow from these showerheads and rain down on your body.

Towels and toiletry are here, finally, for your bowel movements we have the toilet bowl, you sit on it. When you are done this soft paper is used to wipe and this handle will flush it all away.

The head maid and the senior maids are at your disposal and are fully trained to assist your handmaidens in every aspect of this house. I will leave you to refresh yourself."

Astoria did the same show and tell with Elia, she ended with: "Will you excuse us if we breach some rules and customs of this land, both my husband and I were raised in another region where the rules were completely different.."

Elia nodded: "I traveled with Ser Harry from King's Landing to the Tower of Joy. I heard him speak frankly to Lords of the North when he was just a squire. I told my brother to behave."

Astoria smiled brightly: "Then have a good time here Lady Targaryen, Your ladies in waiting can call our maids anytime for help. Our maids are at your disposal."

Xxxxx

I met the captain of the guards: "Ser, the guest rights are sacred as usual, but a fair warning is needed. I have a guarding system installed, that is monitoring the estate. If one of your men feels the need to fuck one of our maids against her will or bully her to comply, he will not like the outcome. The system doesn't recognize ranks, just persons.

There are training fields outside and an exercise room inside the guard barracks. I hope you enjoy your stay."

The captain bowed: "Your Home, your rules Ser, the accommodations for us are fabulous, we will enjoy our stay here very much."

At night after dinner, we had a great time with the small snakes, they were still enthusiastic children, excited babbling about all the magic they experienced. When they were put to bed, we got serious: "Now, my Lord and Lady, does this visit have a purpose? Or is it merely a friendly visit?"

Oberyn answered: "Both, first it is to thank you for my sister's rescue, my brother and I can't thank you enough, more even when we heard what those brutes did to the bodies you left behind.

Secondly, is for to establish relationships with you and your family. Again, more so now that we experienced the wonders in your home.

Third, we came to ask for your assistance to repatriate my sister's good brother and sister from Braavos."

I took a long hard look at Oberyn: "That is fine for the first and second issue, the third, however, what are your plans for those children? I can already tell you the boy is as mad as his father. The girl can be saved, but the boy is lost."

Elia said: "I want to raise them as my own, now they are hunted by assassins of Baratheon."

I tilted my head: "They are hunted? Not your children? They are first to inherit the throne." Oberyn answered: "To avoid war, Elia renounced the claim on the throne for her children. My brother agreed with her decision."

While thinking I poured another Astra Whiskey in their glasses, yep, we were busy these months, it was great training for Astoria. The Rhia whine was still in development.

"You have to understand, those children are the puppets of some powerful people. I will begin with the spider Varys, who is an agent of a man named Illyrio Mopatis. That man had a wife that was a descendant of a Blackfyre and a son Aegon. At the moment they are playing the children and their guard for fools, giving the Baratheons' the run around with false information until they are old enough to be used as pawns. Are you willing to stick your heads in that hornet's nest? You will bring trouble to Dorne that way."

Those revelations shocked both. Oberyn swore: "Westeros is very unstable these days. Baratheon married Cercei Lannister but has been raging against Ned Stark for leaving Lyanna and her son behind here. He ruined it with Ned by asking him why he did not kill the little bastard.

Ned broke relations with the Riverlanders too. He claimed them to be the reason for this war by withholding Lyanna's letters to Winterfell. There was some civil unrest, but that stopped when Rose Bolton died from a terrible flesh-eating curse… it was you! Clegane and Lorch too? Clegane withered down until he was merely a skeleton. Lorch his balls rotted away, he died screaming.

Tywin hasn't left his keep since that. Cercei is so paranoid that her food and drinks have to be prepared by Lannisters."

I grinned: "You forget the squids, they will rebel in a few years, they want their old lands back. At the moment they are stealing wood from the North to build ships. Don't worry, your people did not hear a word we said, I raised a privacy field."

Meh, I will erase the memories from the spies that slipped in their retinue.

Oberyn asked: "Can I send a raven to my brother for advice?" I shook my head: "Why don't you scream your secrets from the rooftops of the Red Keep? It gives the same results. Or did you forget your lessons in the Citadel?"

Oberyn protested: "I seal my letters!" I shot back: "They have a copy of that seal! They are not that hard to make you know."

Elia gasped: "The fire in the Citadel! Only the citadel was burned not even a house that was close by. People are starting to think the Maesters pissed one of the Seven off and paid for it. And why am I blurting these thoughts out loud?"

Astoria answered: "That will be the wards of our home, it encourages the people in our home to be honest to the master. We are open and honest with you Lord and Lady, but we are no fools. This includes a confidential ward, what we consider secrets can not be told to strangers or enemies of us. As you have noticed with the maids it is working fine. As our guests, both of you have more leeway, but your guards and handmaidens are restricted from revealing our secrets."

Oberyn asked: "Why do I have the feeling we stepped into a dragon's lair?" Astoria laughed out loud: "Maybe you did Lord Oberyn."

Elia: "Ser Harry, what can we offer to you for your aid? There must be something you need?"

I nodded: "A Nobel title. House Greengrass, there is already a House Potter in the Reach."

Oberynagreed in a second: "Done! When can you do this?" Astoria said to that: "Five months from now at the earliest, we are brooding on two little problems that will need a few months of our complete attention."

Xxxxx

They stayed for a week, the local lord almost shat his pants when we invited him for dinner as a courtesy. I had the most fun with the little sand snakes to turn them away from the spear and convert them to ninja techniques and daggers. It was loudly protested by Oberyn and laughed at by Elia and Ellaria. The little snakes were happy when I gave each of them a set of daggers to practice with.

I said: "A drop of your blood on these blades, and they will always return back to you within a day" Oberyn rolled his eyes, but got an elbow from Ellaria she said: "Your gifts are priceless and we thank you for them, Lord Potter."

When they were gone, Astoria asked me: "Are we going to save the little princess?"
