Personal Chamber, Red Keep
As it happened, Cersei proved herself a very valuable entity in this strange alliance by pulling some strings and providing him with the same tower he had been using over the past few months in King's Landing.
Except now it was called the War Tower… how original.
Convincing the child king to accept the formation of a new position in the council must have been quite interesting, especially when you consider how the boy hated and feared him. The most surprising of all was the notion of Tywin agreeing to the new title.
The old man was going to regret it soon but he had to give Cersei credit for her sneaky manipulation.
He had to change a few things around the tower though. First of all, to provide Ataria with a separate chamber and a caretaker of her needs since he had promoted her to his personal secretary of sorts. She still visited him in his chamber and office though, not pleased with the new arrangements.
Apparently the woman thought he was trying to push her away by promoting her. She vehemently denied being called a secretary, insisting on the name 'personal maid'. He had to concede eventually …more like he was forced to concede when she sucked his balls dry and still kept on sucking for the better part of an hour before he gave in.
Secondly and by Ataria's suggestion, he had a personal pool installed inside, beside his office for some much needed relaxation. He and his maid christened that pool good. It took several hours of constant scrubbing and more than a few maids to clean up their combined mess.
He did reward the maids by dirtying the floors with their juices…and repeating the cycle.
And thirdly, he had to make a wide, throne-like feathered bed for Ryujin in his bedchamber as well as office so the grumpy tiger could sleep and not constantly growl at him for being forced to sleep on the hard concrete floor.
Now the bastard was sleeping all the time.
Seated in his wide, ornate chair and focused on writing a letter, the redhead lightly glanced towards the door as a guard walked in and bowed. "Lord Tyrion is here, my lord"
The redheaded nodded; gesturing nonchalantly as the guard bowed again and went outside, shortly escorting the dwarf Hand of the King inside.
"Boy do I admire your new position" the Impish Lannister commented amusingly as he walked in and took a seat on one of the two chairs placed before the wide desk. "Granted a seat at the Council, a tower equal to the King's Hand and a maid almost as beautiful as my sister. All you had to do was charm the queen"
"Correction, I did quite a lot of work" Naruto countered with a smirk. "Had Ryujin bite the royal prick, insulted the queen every opportunity I got, beat your brother within an inch of his life, took Sansa away from said prick, and gave his loyal dog a concussion for the better part of a month. I count that as a lot of work. It's not my fault it had the opposite effect"
The dwarf laughed in amusement. "I knew I'd like you the moment I saw you back in Winterfell. The fact that you killed a Kingsguards in front of the king also helped in that regard"
"I heard you like wine, Tyrion"
"I suppose it'd be too much to ask you to call me Lord Hand, wouldn't it?" Tyrion asked dryly, a deadpan look flashing on his face as Naruto merely gave him a flat look. "I thought so and yes I do like wine, not as much as tits but quite close"
"You've the right mindset, I agree but it'd be wise to not overlook the appeal of a perfectly round and phat rear" the Uzgarian prince started in a chuckle. "Personally I like tits as much as the next guy but I find more excitement in watching an endowed posterior rippling with each movement"
"And here I thought the Master of War would be more interested in wars than in women, what a pleasant surprise" While the small Lannister had heard of Naruto's shameless approach to life, he hadn't personally spent much time with the redhead to witness it personally. "We must have a drink to your appreciation for tits and asses"
"We must. Ever had Uzgarian wine?"
"Never heard of it"
"Nor would you" the redhead muttered under his breathe, lowering his head underneath his desk and pulling out a large bottle of dark red wine. "Dornish wine has nothing on this, I assure you even though this is the lightest of my collection. I don't want you falling over after the first sip after all"
"I'll be the judge of that" the blond Imp retorted smugly, watching in pleasant anticipation as Naruto poured the strangely aromatic crimson wine into ornate goblets, offering him one with a smile. "To wine, tits and asses, may there be plenty of all forever"
The redhead chuckled in amusement. This guy was something else, not like the stuck up, bitchy Lannisters he had encountered since coming to the Crownlands.
"I heard Lady Stark had you detained on the Kingsroad for some reason and took you to the Vale" Naruto started idly, watching as the short blond took a sip from the strong wine and almost coughed in response to the overwhelming sensation. "Reports say you had quite the interesting encounter with the Lady of the Vale as well"
"I am starting to think everyone knows about my adventure in the Vale these days…Seven's mercy, this is strong!" Tyrion answered dryly, resisting the urge to cough uncontrollably as his throat almost burned from the strong liquid. Now this is what he'd like to drink forever. "A serious woman, that one. But honorable too, just like the late Lord Stark I suppose. No wonder they were married"
If Naruto had been any other man, he would've reacted to the unintentional jab, but he was no ordinary man and the jab was entirely unintentional since the dwarf didn't know anything about his affair with Cat.
Almighty he missed that woman.
"I also heard that you saved her despite being her captive"
"It was the logical thing to do, given the circumstances"
"Nonetheless, as a friend of House Stark, you have my gratitude"
"So in other words, you owe me a favor?"
"Don't push it" Naruto retorted with a dry look, gulping down his glass of wine and pouring himself another. The redhead could see Tyrion steadily losing battle against the strength of the strong wine. He needed to know why he was here. "You didn't come here to discuss tits and wine, Tyrion, so spill it"
"I need your help with a delicate manner …a politically delicate manner to be more precise"
"The King's Hand needs help with a political issue? Now I've seen everything" The degree of sarcasm was practically palpable.
The dwarf Lannister sighed tiredly. "As much as I hate to say it, I admit my sister is more tolerant of you than me, the formation of your new position in the council with my father's approval is a proof of that, not to mention you have your own ways of dealing with her should the need arise. Not only do I need your help in insuring my own safety after the deed but also your …straightforward approach in the deed itself"
He owed the dwarf for protecting Catelyn on the way to the Vale anyways. It was the least he could do for someone protecting his docile but thicc Cat. "Fine, what do you want?"
"…"
"Tyrion?"
"…"
Naruto turned to the blond Lannister and sweatdropped in response, finding the King's Hand passed out in his chair, head placed on his desk and drool dripping down his lips as he smiled goofily. "Fuck!"
Tower of the Hand
Janos Slynt, newly appointed Lord of Harrenhal and likewise the Commander of the City Watch, was in a world of his own these days. To say he was the golden boy or rather man of Westeros would be an understatement and disrespect to his glory.
To think all it took to gain such influence in the Red Keep and in the royal family was to betray Ned Stark and subsequently lead to his execution. He had been a high ranking officer of the City Watch back then the Commander to be more specific, high in the proverbial food chain but still common fodder when compared to the Lords.
All he had to do was betray the Lord's trust, have his men killed by his orders, have the Stark arrested, jailed and subsequently killed.
The next thing he knew, he was the Lord of Harrenhal with all its intended lands and titles. If that was not a blessing, he didn't know what was.
To make things even more interesting, he was invited to dinner with the Hand of the King. At the speed he was going up the political ladder, he'd have a seat in the Small Council soon. He looked forward to that.
What he didn't understand was the presence of the new Master of War, a new title in the Council but one that had gained quite the fearsome reputation by the actions of the title's first owner, Naruto of Uzgar.
Within a week of the new position's formation and likewise his ascension to said position, Naruto immediately took control of the City Watch with all its militaristic and defensive aspects, basically reducing his position as the Commander of the City Watch as a glorified cannon fodder.
If it wasn't for his lordship over Harrenhal, he would have long since complained to the queen.
To be honest, he had complained several times after the redhead teen summoned him to his office and ordered him to report the city's defensive stability to him every morning and night. The queen had dismissed him as soon as the name 'Naruto' was uttered.
He learned to not complain when it came to the redhead.
"My lords" he bowed politely as he entered into the Hand's dining chamber, eyes falling down on the seated figure of the Northern prince as soon as he entered. He hated the man but damn if he didn't struck a fearsome image in the dimness of the room.
Naruto's blue eyes were focused on the bald man, boring into his very being as he stood awkwardly before the food-laden table.
"Lord Janos, welcome to the tower, a first time experience for you I am sure" Tyrion started diplomatically, gesturing for the petrified man under the focus of Naruto's stare. "Please have a seat"
"…" He couldn't move, too busy sweating and overthinking about what he had done wrong to have the Master of War stare at him like that.
"Slynt"
"Y-yes, my lord?"
"Sit"
"O-of course" the Commander of the Gold Cloaks was all too eager to sit down as soon as the bored command was uttered, earning an amused look from the short Lannister.
'I am liking him more and more' Tyrion mused inwardly, a smirk playing on his lips as he watched the redhead scare the traitorous man with just a mere look. He would love to have such a powerful influence.
Dinner was served and Janos felt like he had his head in the open mouth of a tiger the entire dinner, unable to shake off the feeling that something was wrong. He couldn't even enjoy the delicious food. If it had been only Tyrion, he would have dismissed the strange feelings.
But with Naruto …he couldn't take any chances. The man was dangerous, more dangerous than any man he had ever met. If he could influence the queen to come up with a brand new position in the council and willingly give him power of all the royal forces in the Crownlands JUST to keep him in King's Landing, he shuddered to think what else he could make the queen do.
"Lord Janos, I heard there was a commotion at one of Baelish's brothels" Tyrion started idly, giving the impression that the topic was a mere conversational piece and nothing else.
Janos would have taken it as such had Naruto not been there. His heart rate quickened as Naruto perked up at the topic.
"Oh, this sound like something the Master of War should've been informed about" the Uzgarian prince started curiously, turning a questioning look to the now pale lord.
"I-it was a rather nasty business, my lord" the head of House Slynt started hesitantly. "I didn't want to d-disturb your peace of mind"
Pouring himself a glass of wine, Naruto took a sip from the alcoholic beverage and waved off the bald man with a smile. "It's quite alright; I'd like to hear about it"
"I-it's done, my lord" the Commander tried to sway away from the subject.
"Humor me anyways"
Seeing as the man was too scared to say anything, Tyrion stepped in. "Lord Janos here, in light of his new position as a Lord of Harrenhal, sought to bring everlasting peace to King's Landing by …removing a few hindrances"
"Do tell"
Janos paled even more.
"Apparently King Robert had more casual flings than anyone had anticipated, with the products of those flings left in brothels as a means of protection from any threat" the short Lannister explained idly, as if talking about the weather while the bald man grew paler and paler with each word. "Lord Janos, in his infinite wisdom, sought to end any future quarrels over the line of succession by putting all 'candidates' to the sword"
"…"
"I believe three of them were still suckling at their mother's teats before they were killed"
"…"
Janos knew, from experience over the last two weeks, what silence from the redhead meant. It was the calm before the storm. He knew he had to do something before that storm came and any form of reason was swallowed whole by the waves. "M-my lord… I am j-just a soldier; I follow what I am ordered to do!"
Eyes a darker shade of blue than before, Naruto shifted his focus away from Tyrion and settled on the shivering man. "I don't recall ordering you to kill babies"
"T-the king did!"
"Did I order you?"
"N-no but the king did! He is high in authority than you!"
Naruto's eyes widened imperceptibly. Apparently, the adrenaline rush in response to his fear was making the man braver and more forward…brave enough to talk back to him. How surprising. "You grew a spine just when I decided to kill you, how odd"
"W-what!? You can't kill me! I've friends in court, powerful friends!"
"Turn around and explain your 'glory' to my partner, see if he cares enough to spare your life" Naruto propped his feet on the table and gestured behind the bald man, a wide grin on his face. "Ryujin, do try to honor Janos with your final judgment"
Janos's eyes flew open as a low, throaty growl echoed across the room from a creature behind him. He frantically shifted around, coming face to face with the disturbingly smug visage of a massive, horse-size crimson tiger as it loomed over him.
"W-what is t-that!?"
"Wrong question. The real question should be: what am I to him?" Naruto chirped in from the sidelines, ignoring the scared Hand of the King as he tried to not look horrified at the sudden appearance of the massive beast. "To answer that question, you are his meal"
"NO AARRRRGGGHHH!"
Tyrion watched in horror, dinner instantly rushing back to his mouth as he threw up, not able to stand the scene of Ryujin tearing into Janos with his massive jaws, biting his head whole and then ripping it off from the rest of the body with a single, violent tug before he gorged it down.
"You've my approval to instate Bronn as the new Commander of the City Watch. I expect him to report to me regularly or there will be problems" the Uzgarian prince said idly, chugging the last of his drink with one go and moving for the door of the chamber, unmindful of the pale Lannister continuously throwing up at the feet of the table. "Now you owe me, I'll be collecting my favor when the time comes"
Titles and positions didn't have the slightest bit of impact on the overall influence of an individual if said man had no guts to reach for more. Tyrion was the Hand of the King with the right mind and cunning but he lacked the guts to act boldly, fearing Cersei's retribution against his loved one.
He, on the other hand, feared nothing.
Tyrion was the Hand. Joffrey was the King. Cersei was the Queen Regent but he made the rules.
Next Day
Zetsu found himself standing before the seated prince early in the morning, watching with a rare show of amusement as the redheaded Uzgarian silently reached for a hidden compartment beneath his bed, making sure to not disturb a soundly sleeping Ataria.
Pulling out an old wine bottle from underneath the bed, Naruto gestured for the Earth Demon to move to the adjacent office, kissing the blonde bombshell on the lips once last time as he moved to his working chair in just his pants.
"Any news from back home?"
"Nothing of consequences though her majesty has expressed a rather strong desire to see you"
"She will have to wait" Naruto retorted with a grin as he poured himself a glass of the aged wine, raising an amused eyebrow as a sleepy Ryujin wobbled into the room from his private suite and slumped into the throne-like bed placed for him at the side of the office. "Good morning to you too, grumpy"
Grrr
The redheaded prince burst out laughing, much to the growling tiger's anger as he opened his sleepy eyes and glared at the guffawing Uzgarian.
After a few loud sessions with Ataria, Ryujin had requested that a separate chamber be designated for him because he could no longer endure the sounds of their mating. So he had a private room now.
"Go on Zetsu"
The Earth Demon snapped out of his trance as he nodded. "Robb Stark sent Theon Greyjoy back to the Iron Islands to gather the Iron Fleet and help in his fight against the Lannisters"
The redheaded prince sighed, twirling the contents of his goblet. "Wrong move, one that would cost him dearly"
"Indeed sire, from what I gathered, he has been …converted back to the Faith of the Drowned 'God' by his father. The intelligence data suggests that an attack from the Ironborn is imminent, though the target of the attack is still unknown"
The prince nodded. "Predictable"
Seeing as the Uzgarian prince was in no mood to explain himself further, the Earth demon made to continue further. "Stannis has officially declared himself the rightful king of Westeros and sent out letters to all the major players of the game"
"The content of these letters?"
"His claim to the throne, demands of fealty from the many lords and the truth behind Joffrey's heritage"
Naruto had to give the man credit for having the courage and cunning to make such a move. He understood the consequences of revealing such delicate fact to only a single person as Ned had done. Quite the strict guy, that one. "Bold move. And the North?"
"Robb Stark, or the King in the North as he is called, has been winning battle after battle against Tywin Lannister on several fronts. If the North keeps up this pace, Tywin is likely to lose Casterly Rock to the combined Northern forces in an estimated 4 month time" the strange, spiky demon explained flatly.
"Unless Tywin decides to stop testing his militaristic strength against the North and uses other methods" the wild Uzgarian added firmly. He knew the man to be capable of anything when it came to keeping his family in power. "Robb is a brave warrior but he has much to learn in regards to ruling a kingdom. What else?"
"He has sent Lady Catelyn to Storm's End to strike a deal with Renly Baratheon against their combined enemy, the Lannisters"
God he really needed to stop getting hard every time he heard Catelyn's name. He couldn't help it though. "Wise move…keep an eye on her and Arya. Deal with any pests should they get too near. Anything else?"
"No, my prince"
"Good, send my regards to Robb, tell him I will be coming for a visit in a fortnight"
"As you command, sire"
The door to the office was pushed open as soon as Zetsu disappeared into the ground and an excited Myrcella rushed in with a wide grin, hands already opened wide as she rushed straight for the redheaded prince.
"NARUTO!"
The crimson whiskered redhead chuckled in amusement as the excited blonde jumped into his arms with such a force that she almost sent them both falling to the ground, had he not stopped the chair. "Easy there little cub"
"I am not a little cub!" the blonde pouted angrily, straddling the redhead's lap and crossing her hands angrily.
"Are we really repeating this conversation again?" the redhead asked cheekily, ruffling the blonde's golden locks, much to the girl's embarrassment. "What's got you so excited this early in the morning?"
Myrcella's pouted strengthened as she almost whimpered like a wounded kitten. "What? You forgot!?"
"Not exactly …" He totally forgot. Fuck!
"You promised to take me to the beach and let me play with Ryujin!" the blonde princess almost cried hurtfully as she looked away with a pout.
"I did" Ryujin's ears perked up in alarm as he opened his eyes to find his partner looking at him with an evil smile. His heart dropped in horror as he saw the bane of his existence, the little princess, in Naruto's lap and looking at him with her cutely manipulative look. "Why don't you give the furball a hug in the meantime and I'll get ready"
People would get a lot of ideas if they saw the 12 year old princess sitting in his lap while he had no shirt on. Arya was different than Myrcella.
"Yay!" the gold-haired princess screamed excitedly as she jumped from his lap and rushed towards the massive tiger, instantly hugging his large head with a cute look on her face, much to the horror of the feline.
Growl!
"Watch your language in front of the princess, you grumpy pussycat!"
Despite his outward look of horror at the appearance of the princess, Ryujin loved children and he absolutely adored Myrcella. The grumpy cat looked out for the princess every time she visited him and even let her pet him.
The only thing he hated about the whole situation was that he had a fierce reputation and letting little girls pet him was detrimental to his fearsome image. The feline hated any attention from children even when HE was here and that was saying something considering he had known the feline his whole life.
GROWL!
"Enjoy"
Beach, Red Keep
Seated against the hardness of a large boulder a few meters away from the sea waves, unmindful of the sand scratching against his leather pants and coat, Naruto watched Myrcella being lightly chased around by a surprisingly cheerful Ryujin.
The princess's giggles, laughter and chuckles filled the isolated beach as she ran around in the sandy landscape, followed by Ryujin.
It was times like these when he was reminded of his own childhood.
Compared to his, Myrcella's looked absolute heaven even though he was of royal heritage as well. Then again, his mother had tried her best to make his life paradise on earth. It was unfortunate that certain events caused his perfect childhood life to be replaced by pure hell.
A frown marring his normally bored visage, Naruto raised his sand-covered hands and looked at the designs of an Omega (Ω) sign on the palms, tied up in black chains moving up his arms and disappearing into his leather coat while glowing a deep red.
'Soon …soon'
Hearing the shuffling of feet dragging over the sandy beach, Naruto stopped channeling energy into his arms and looked to the source, the busty figure of Cersei appearing over the sides just as the seals vanished into his skin.
"Naruto"
"My Lady"
The queen's eyes widened in surprise to hear the redhead address her formally, barely sparing her a glance as his eyes remained transfixed on her daughter. Cersei turned to the endearing scene with a rarely seen genuine smile to see her daughter playing with the massive creature.
She noticed something.
"Why did he stop?"
Indeed she was right. Ryujin stopped playing with the blonde princess and moved to stand in front of her, hiding her from the world with his front paws alone as he stared at the tree line above the beach.
"Tell your guards to move" Naruto stated flatly, eyes focused on the softly growling figure of his partner.
The queen stiffened. "There are no guards with me"
"Four Lannisters soldiers have their bows trained on Ryujin approximately 30 meters above us, two on the left, one right above us and the last hiding behind a large boulder to the right" the redheaded prince stated blankly, not even looking at the shocked queen. "Tell them off before he attacks"
Turning to the now full on growling tiger, Cersei hurriedly raised her hand in a hidden signal and the soldiers promptly left before the beast could attack.
"I trust you …oddly enough but that thing …"
"His name is Ryujin, my childhood friend and my partner. I'd appreciate it if you addressed him as such" The steel in his tone was clear and Cersei could feel the hair on her body stand up in fear as the redhead's sharp blues eyes turned to her for the first time.
Against herself and much to her embarrassment, she could feel herself blushing up as his fierce, vulpine stare turned her on.
Making a place for herself on the sand, Cersei made a show of lowering her incredibly phat butt onto the earth and inwardly growled when Naruto barely gave her a look. A frown flashing on her lips, the blonde queen shifted uncomfortably on the sand and watched as her daughter resumed her games with a still suspicious Ryujin.
"I suppose I'd never get used to the idea of Myrcella being friends with that beas…Ryujin" the queen hurriedly corrected herself when Naruto twitched in annoyance. "She could barely sleep last night, constantly talking about your promise to take her out to the beach and let her play with the tiger"
Naruto chuckled softly, surprising the busty queen by his reaction. "The little cub almost busted my office door in her excitement a few hours ago"
The queen's heart did a summersault at his genuine smile. God he looked so ravishing when he wasn't being his sarcastic self. That smile could melt stony hearts. "Myrcella has always been a timid girl, never opening up to anyone. She barely tells me anything and I am her mother. I don't know what magic you used to charm her but it seems to have worked"
"On the contrary, my lady, the little princess charmed me. The most surprising is that she charmed Ryujin into being her friend. He may not look like it but he is the best hunter in the Uzgarian Kingdom and has a very fearsome reputation back home. I've seen seasoned warriors with decades of combat experience lose their ability of speech before him and here he is, playing with the little princess like a harmless pet"
He was right. Looking at the massive crimson tiger lying in the sandy beach and letting Myrcella try to wrestle his head with all her strength, he didn't look like he was any different than the predators out there except he was as big as a horse.
"He is so gentle with her …" Cersei muttered softly, green eyes focused on the tiger as it dramatically surrendered to Myrcella's strength and made a show of letting his head fall to the sandy ground, much to the triumphant cheers of her daughter.
"Back in Uzgar, the princes and princesses are given the chance to choose a partner who they feel a connection with, to be their battle companion for the rest of their lives. It's been going on for centuries. Upon my 4th Nameday, I was given the chance to choose my partner and a dozen tiger cubs brought before me." Needless to say, Cersei was all too eager to listen to the story, finding this new change in the redhead to be endearing and quite attractive. "There he was, the smallest among the litter and standing behind the line of fierce-looking cubs"
The busty queen blinked in surprise. "It's hard to believe he was the smallest considering his current height"
Naruto chuckled in understanding. "That's what everyone thought. He was the runt of the litter, the black sheep. He was frail, small and of a different color than his siblings. My council advised me against choosing him, warning me of his uncertain future and the fact that he would bring shame to the kingdom should it be discovered that the prince had chosen a weak partner"
She could guess where this was going. "So you went against their wishes"
"I did" the Uzgarian prince retorted with a chuckle, a wide grin on his face as he turned to the queen. "It was quite amusing to witness their dropped-jaw faces when he bested every one of them a year later in a tournament"
The more he talked about this kingdom of his, the more she realized it may very well be true. He was too straightforward a man to lie and the tales of his home only cemented that fact, not to mention the existence of Ryujin himself.
She hadn't seen any predator get that big.
She needed to gather information about this Uzgarian Kingdom.
"Naruto, mother, come play with us!" Myrcella shouted at the two, an eager grin dancing on her lips as she hopped on Ryujin's back and yelled in exhilaration as the giant beast stood up and started running across the beach.
"Coming, little cub" Naruto countered with a chuckle.
"She loves you …you know?" Cersei asked strangely, mind recalling the fond look on her daughter's face whenever she would mention Naruto. It reminded her of the look she had when she'd receive a gift from Robert.
"I know"
"Can I ask you a favor?"
"It depends"
"Can you make me the same promise you made to Catelyn Tully?" the queen asked softly, a pleading look in her emerald eyes as she turned to the redheaded prince. "That you'd protect my daughter no matter what?"
"I can't…"
"B-but why?"
Naruto stood up with a lopsided smile, dusting his leather pants and coat. "Because Ryujin has already made that promise and I pity anyone to try hurting the little princess when she is under his protection. Now shall we join them, my lady?"
Against herself, a wide smile appeared on her lips as she gave her hand to the redhead and let out an uncharacteristic giggle as the prince hoisted her up like a weightless doll and dragged her along to the beach, much to the excitement of her daughter.
