Chapter 14: The Proud Red Lion

Throne Room of Pyke

Naruto and Shiera were in the throne room of Pyke. In front of them was the Seastone Chair, which was the throne of the Ironborn. Well, former Ironborn, since Naruto's plan to exterminate them had gone exactly as he had intended. Every last one of the leaders of their degenerate culture had been on Old Wyk for the Kingsmoot to determine the new ruler of the Ironborn, just as he had planned. With all the captains on Old Wyk, Naruto could isolate them by burning their harbor with Acnologia and then slaughter them all, cutting off the head of the Ironborn navy in one fell swoop, while Shiera, Val, and their dragons burned the other ships on the other islands. From there, a seaborne invasion of the Iron Isles began. Taking the smaller Islands like Pyke and Old Wyk was easy. Great Wyk, the biggest of the islands, would have been more difficult since there was more ground to cover, except Naruto and Shiera had used their magic to incite the slaves and thralls to rebel and cause great havoc from within the island. All in all, Naruto's forces had not lost that many men in the assualt. Ironborn were far better at seaborne ambushes and sea warfare than they were at land warfare.

Naruto turn his thoughts back to the throne. The Seastone Chair was made of a block of oily black stone carved into the shape of a kraken. Sitting on the throne was the Driftwood Crown, also called the crown of Salt and Rock. During the Kingsmoot, the crown was tossed into the sea whenever a king died and a new was made from driftwood after a new king was chosen. So, since the Ironborn were dead as a culture, this was in effect the last Driftwood Crown that would ever be made.

"What is on your mind, lover?" Shiera asked Naruto.

"Just thinking," Naruto said, "I should have done this a long time ago. Wiping out the Ironborn, I mean. It was a mistake that cost many innocents their lives for 3 over centuries."

"What's done is done. We cannot change the past. And you have now corrected that mistake, so it won't happen again." Shiera assured, and he smiled at the reassurance, turning his gaze to her, and noticed that her belly was starting to bulge just tiny bit. It was not as noticeable as Val's baby bump was, but Naruto could tell. He had been a husband many times and his experience let him know that she was pregnant.

Pleased that another Targaryen would soon be born into the world, Naruto turned to the throne. "I'm gonna destroy both of them. The throne and the crown." Naruto summoned the crown to his hands and when he caught it, it caught fire. Naruto let it drop to the ground and the both watched as the crown broke apart, the wood slowly turning into pieces of ash.

"Before you destroy the Seastone Chair, I have an idea." Shiera guided Naruto over to the throne and then sat him on it, and he immediately realized what she wanted.

"Couldn't wait until we were back in Kings Landing, I take it?" Naruto asked rhetorically as he eyed her figure through the see through fabric of her dress.

"By the time we get to Kings Landing, my pregnancy be too far along to have sex. I want to fulfill this fantasy at least once while I still can." Shiera said as she brought her hands up to the clips that held her dress to her body. She pulled them up, the loose, silk soft dress that she wore showed off every bit of her still young and curvaceous body dropping to the floor, showing off her large and firm breasts. Her hair was long, thick and lustrous, a silver gold mane reaching to the end of her back.

Lemon Start

Naruto decided to roll with it and snapped his finger, his clothes and armor magically shimmering and appearing in a pile near the throne, leaving him as naked as his lover.

She moved onto her knees before him. She grasped his thick cock, erect and ready, it's length throbbing with lust.

"Oh yes." She breathed. "I'm sure my womb will give you plenty of strong heirs, my love. But first..."

Shiera's red painted lips puckered, kissing the very tip of it, coming away with a trail of his precum on her plump, soft lips and a shining red ring upon his tip from her kiss. Shiera licked her lips of his pre-seed, tasting his gift.

With a sigh of delight, she puckered her soft lips once more and gave her love's large, seed filled balls a suckling kiss apiece, pulling each seed filled orb into her warm mouth and using her tongue to bathe them in her hot spit before releasing the now wet balls from her mouth and giving each a deep, sensual kiss, leaving a wet red, puckered ring, marking her prince as hers.

Naruto could only groan in his seat, his hands gripping hard upon the seat rests as Shiera serviced him.

But she far from done. Her full, luscious red lips closing around his aching and throbbing cock as she slowly worked more and more of his hard and thick shaft into her soft and wet mouth. She did not stop, claiming more and more of his thick length until her face was pressed at the base of his groin, her throat expertly massaging his cock as she looked up at him, his gaze only on her. Her look was of pride, lust and triumph, all in one as she sucked him off.

Naruto's groans filled the room as she pleasured him and soon Shiera had her prize. With a groan, Naruto's cock pulsed and his balls shook as he came. No words had to be spoken as Shiera held his cock in her mouth, feeling each pulse of his cock send her more and more of his precious seed. As he pulled out of her warm mouth, his cock drenched in hot spit and cum, Shiera swallowed down his seed and mewled as orgasm struck her at the power and magic within his seed flowed through her. With his power fully restored, Naruto was the very essence of magic and power, his blood a catalyst for miracles and his seed...it would never be in doubt than any progeny he sired would control magic on a great scale, just as she could.

She did not have much longer to think on it as he pulled her into his lap and had her ride him with wild abandon while he sat on the throne.

With Tion Reyne

Tion sat in the captains quarters of his ship, his satisfaction running high as the Targaryen's victory shined in the distance behind him and the Reyne-Tarbeck Fleet. Tion was glad that he had allied with the Targaryen king when Shiera brought it to his attention. The way that King Naruto masterfully used his dragons in conjuction with his army to swiftly annihilate his enemies was stunning to behold. The Retaking of the Riverlands and the Invasion of the Iron Islands had gone so smoothly that had he not been there to witness and participate in it, he would have not believed it was possible.

Of course, there was another reason he was happy to be a prominent ally of the Targaryen. That reason was currently naked between his legs, her dress on the floor behind her, her soft breasts running up and down the length of his hard cock as she sucked him off.

When Naruto had given Tion a revitalized Genna Lannister as a prize for his service, Tion had been surprised and excited. Surprised, because he was aware of his kings carnal appetite and would not have blamed him if he chose to hog Genna for himself. They both knew the reason that Naruto didn't though, even though he could have. Genna was not only a prize to Tion for loyal and continued service, but also incentive to stay loyal. As a reward for his performance during the invasion of the Iron Islands, the Dragon King restored some of his youth. It was only about 10 years, but it caused his libido to renew, and coincidentally, he had a willing partner to slake his newly restored lusts upon. Naruto jokingly said it was so he could enjoy his previous gift.

Genna was also a political tool for him, as they were married now and their marriage would help to make the transition of dominance in the Westerlands from Lannister to Reyne go more smoothly. Genna was basically the same woman she was before her reconditioning, with all her wits and political know-how, she was just now totally against House Lannister and fully on the side of House Reyne, devoted to serving it's purposes in whatever way she could. Which is why they were soon to meet with the heads of the Houses on the coastline of the Westerlands and why she was sucking him off dutifully right now. Genna's fate was basically the fate that awaited all the Lannister women. The bonus revenge against Tywin, as instead of the Lannisters ruling every corner of the 7 kingdoms, the last members of his house would be used to breed out members of House Reyne and ensure their dominance, once they had the other houses on their side. Tion's heir would receive one of Stafford's daughters once she had been reconditioned, probably Cerenna, and that would ensure the 3rd generation of Reynes would still have Lannister blood, if only barely. And by the time the 4th generation rolled around, everyone will have basically forgotten any loyalty to the Lannister's and the Red Lion would remain supreme and unchallenged. It was a glorious vision for Tion, and one that was close to being realized.

Tion was suddenly brought out of his musing as he came, spilling a healthy dose of seed down Genna's throat. Genna, like the dutiful wife she was, cleaned him off, licking up all of his seed, before kissing the tip of his softening cock. As he gazed upon Genna, he could maybe see himself caring for her genuinely in the near future, though right now, she was a tool for both his political gain and physical pleasure, and he was going to get every bit of value out of her that he could.

"Another pleasurable encounter as always, my dear. I look forward to tonight" Tion commented as she finished cleaning his prick off.

"I'm looking forward to tonight as well, my love." Genna said with a seductive look. "Unfortunately, we are about to arrive on Fair Isle to meet with the gathered lords, and it would be rude to keep them waiting."

"Yes indeed. Once we have them on our side, we will make for Casterly Rock and claim it for the Red Lion. It's only too bad that Tywin isn't here to watch his legacy crumble all around him." Tion said as he pulled up his breeches while Genna put her dress back on.

"It would serve the bastard right." Genna said as she finished putting her dress on, making herself presentable again. "He left me married to that worthless Frey and never did anything to help me."

"Come my dear. We have arrived." Tion said as they both stepped of the captains quarters to see the ship had docked at Fair Isle. Out on the docks were the lords of several houses that had gathered to meet with them. House Banfort, House Kenning of the Kayce, House Crakehall, House Westerling, practically every noble house in the Westerlands that was based around the coast was gathered here today. Other houses that were not along the coastline were dissatisfied with the Lannister leadership were gathered here as well. All in all, 25 Noble Houses were represented at this meeting. Of Course, not all of the Westerland Houses were present. Some, like House Marbrand, were forever loyal to the Lannisters.

Accompanied by some guards was a very broad-shouldered man in his early thirties, who stepped out in front of the group of gathered Lords. His hair was dark and a bushy beard which revealed a smile.

"LORD REYNE!" The man said in a loud, booming voice that made many jump. "I, Lord Lyle Crakehall, am most grateful for your efforts and those of the Targaryen to free our coast of the Iron Born and it is an honor to meet such a man of action." Lord Lyle said with a big beaming smile. Tion felt it was genuine and shook the man's hand.

"Lord Crakehall, you are most welcome. I take it from the representatives gathered here that all of your respective houses are dissatisfied with the Lannister's rule?" Tion asked and Lyle's face went from smiling to furious in the blink of an eye.

"That is one way of putting it. Tywin, the bastard, left our entire coast to suffer so he could have his arse kicked all over Westeros by Robb Stark instead. My mother was raped and murdered by them. Lord Farman lost two daughters who were taken as saltwives. Lord Terrence's wife was taken too. All this happened because Tywin would not let us go and protect our homes. And in the year that he took over, Kevan Lannister has done nothing to address our grievances. We are at the end of our patience with the Lannisters." Lyle said with great bitterness.

"Though, tell us," the Lord of House Kenning said, "How is it that House Reyne and Tarbeck even live? Far as anyone was aware, your houses were destroyed root and stem by Tywin Lannister decades ago." So Tion and Alastor retold the story they had told to Naruto about how they survived.

"And what of you, Lady Genna?" The Lord Farman asked as every Lord present turned to the woman. "You are, after all, Lord Tywin's sister, yet you stand with House Reyne now?"

Genna stepped forward to address the lords gathered here, standing at the side of her husband. "My Lords," She began, "As many of you know, when I was a young girl, my Father, Tion Lannister, betrothed me to Walder Freys second son. A most unworthy match. My elder brother once protested that the match was unworthy of a daughter of House Lannister, but when he became Lord of House Lannister, he did not undo the marriage that my weakling of a father had forced me into. For years, I have resented my brother who once spoke in my defense. When Tywin died, I did not mourn him. I had long since lost any love I once held for him. I had hoped that when Kevan took over, I would finally be free of my unjust marriage, but Kevan was always more follower than leader. He too, chose to leave me to my miserable marriage. So when the Dragon King presented me with the opportunity to throw off the shackles of my marriage to House Frey, I took it gladly. I was even able to finally marry the man I desired to be wed to as a young girl." She took Tion's hand in hers, and the gathered lords understood the message. Genna was fully with House Reyne.

"My Lords," Tion said, "Naruto Targaryen, the Dragon King, is utterly ruthless to his enemies and a military genius. Some of you may have heard rumors of how he was once Jon Snow. I can confirm these rumors are true. During the War to Retake the North, he captured all of his enemies major castles and in the Battle for Winterfell, his army slaughtered Ramsay Snow's. And after the battle, the King had Ramsay flayed alive and allowed the gathered lords to participate in the act. He was able to do this when his dragons could not yet be used in war. You likely have not heard due to the speed with which the army has moved, but House Frey has been wiped out by my king. Every man, woman, and child of House Frey lies buried in the ground. The only one who was allowed to live was Roslyn Frey, and that was due to her being married to the Tully's. The Lannister army besieging Riverrun was wiped out. Not a single man was spared. I personally slew Jaime Lannister myself. He wiped out an entire culture in a single day and all to make a point. He cannot be stopped. This war for the Iron Throne, he's going to win it. And he will see all those who support House Lannister brought to a violent end."

"What Lannister army remains is the several hundred guards in Kingslanding. You've mentioned, Lord Crakehall, that you and your fellow lords patience with the Lannister's are at an end. I would see them displaced and supplanted by a house that still knows honor and integrity. My king has already burned the fleet at Lannisport, and my sons army is converging on Casterly Rock as we speak. Will you stand with us and see honor, nobility, and above all, integrity restored to the Westerlands?" Tion said. He said all those things to point out that they really only had one option. Support House Reyne's claim to power and see yourselves elevated or be brought to utter ruin by standing with the Lannisters.

"Tywin left my home undefended and my family paid the price for that arrogance. You and the Dragon King have given my family justice against the Ironborn. My sword is your's, Lord Tion. I forsake House Lannister and stand with House Reyne." Lord Farman said as he pulled out his sword and stabbed it into the ground before bowing his head. This sentiment was shared by pretty much all of the coastal houses while others like the Crakehalls were tired of the dishonorable actions of the Lannisters over the last 3 decades. The unjust slaughter of House Reyne and Tarbeck, The sack of Kings Landing and the murder of Elia and her children, and the latest grievance those Houses took issue was the Red Wedding. Some of the poorer and opportunistic houses were motivated by other means, such as desire for greater prosperity under the regime but in the end, all the gathered Lords knelt to Lord Tion.

Tion was pleased. Now he had the oaths of the lords gathered here. His army would take Casterly Rock, the Reynes would reign supreme over the Westerlands and their prosperity would rise to greater heights with the favor of Naruto Targaryen. There were of course, several houses that were not here today. Houses Jast, Clegane, Lorch, Payne, Marbrand, Brax, Swyft, and Spicer where loyal to the bitter end to House Lannister. It hardly mattered though. Naruto and his dragons would destroy those keeps after Tion took Casterly Rock, so it would not matter that they were loyal to the Lannisters, as they would be dead.

"Rise my Lords. Let us meet up with my army, and you shall bear witness to the beginning of the Red Lion's reign." Tion said as his new lords stood up and followed him to meet up with the army moving towards Lannisport.

1 Week later

Lannisport

Lannisport was a walled city in the Westerlands, located less than a mile south of Casterly Rock, the seat of House Lannister. Lannisport was located along the coast of the Sunset Sea where the River road, the Gold road, and the Ocean road meet. It was one of the major ports of the Seven Kingdoms and was the largest settlement in the Westerlands, smaller than King's Landing or Oldtown, but larger than the likes of Gulltown or White Harbor.

However, the site that greeted those seeing it for the first time now was not that of the usual splendor. The burning and broken ruins of the Lannister fleet still remained in the harbor whilst ships of the Reynes, Targaryen's, ect were docked in the harbor. The streets were only a little better. The well trained City Watch of Lannisport all lay dead, their bodies fed to Naruto's ever growing dragons. The civilians were too afraid to go out in the open because of the invading army. The distant cousin families of the Lannister's, the Lannys, Lannetts, and Lantells were all dead, and their manse was used as a base of operations for the invading army. In short, Lannisport was completely under the control of Naruto Targaryen and Tion Reyne. However, they still needed to take Casterly Rock to truly begin securing Tion's hold on the Westerlands.

Therein laid the problem. Casterly Rock had never been taken before and for good reason. Casterly Rock was carved out of a great stone hill beside the Sunset Sea. The entire castle was basically a giant mountain. A frontal assault on the gate was pointless, the gates into the castle were made of thick stone, so none of the battering ram's that the army had on hand would breaking that down. The main issue was that Naruto did not want to use his dragons here, because it needed to be Tion's victory, not Naruto's, even though the dragons could easily melt the gates.

It was then that Sansa spoke up in front of the gathered lords, as she held knowledge that would prove beneficial to them. "There is a way to get into Casterly Rock. One that does not involve smashing through the front gate, My Lords." Sansa announced, causing everyone to look at her.

"What way is that, Lady Sansa?" Tion asked. If it meant they could swiftly bring the siege to an end and secure his families reign over the West, he was willing to hear out any plan.

"My former husband, Tyrion Lannister, once told me about a secret passage into Casterly Rock. He built it himself when his father put him in charge of all the cistern's and would later use it to sneak whores into the castle. It's right here" Sansa pointed to a spot on the map and then trailed out the path from entrance of the path all the way to the inside of Casterly Rock.

"I will send some of my men to scout this path out for any traps. Tywin might have known about it, so I don't want to take any chances. Should this path prove to be unguarded, then we will have a way inside the castle. We will reconvene when the scouts return with news, my lords, Your Grace." Tion announced and with that, the lords left the tent and Sansa and Naruto were the only ones that remained inside.

Naruto placed a hand on Sansa's own, rubbing it comfortably before saying, "You're doing very well, love."

"Tyrion drank too much when we were married. It was easy to get him to talk about such things." Sansa said brought herself closer to Naruto. "I know the reason you don't want to use your dragons. If the Reyne Lord doesn't conquer Casterly Rock with his own plan, then their future rule will be tarnished and called into question."

"Exactly. The Reynes, even with the female Lannister's marrying into their line, will have enough trouble keeping their hold over the Westerlands with all the usual troubles that come being a Warden. Those kinds of accusations added on to it would only complicate matters." Naruto said, though talk of politics and his pride in her at coming so far reached an end as Sansa leaned in and kissed Naruto on the lips. He responded in kind, kissing her back. Of all of his lovers, Sansa was the only one he had not had sex with yet. For obvious reasons of course. Sansa had been raped by Ramsay. While it was fortunate that she never grew pregnant with the vile monster's seed, the damage he had done to her psyche was still there. Naruto had to be gentle and loving to Sansa, not that he wasn't already, and had to let her make the first move. She would be with him in Kings Landing for the rest of her life and he did not want to tarnish their relationship just because he couldn't keep his dick in his pants. She was close though, and Naruto had a feeling that when he took Casterly Rock later, she will have gained enough courage to consummate their relationship and cement her place at his side. But for now, loving kisses were as far as it would go. Naruto did not have to wait too long to the men to get back, as they discovered the path was unguarded, just as his Greensight had shown him earlier. Now, it was time to take the castle.

Assault on Casterly Rock

Under the cover of darkness, a portion of the Reyne and Targaryen forces sailed into the small cave that led to the great castle using small rowboats. The rest, including Lord Reyne, were on land in front of the main Gate in Casterly Rock, creating as much ruckus as they could to keep the enemy distracted and draw the defender's attention.

Naruto volunteered to be part of the forces that lead the assault into the heart of the castle. Tormund was with him. Naruto was used to having Val participate during these assaults but she was too pregnant. The most he was comfortable with her doing was riding her dragon, and give it another month, she would be too pregnant for even that. He was thankful though that Ghost was with him.

In the cave was a wood covered platform with a ladder in the middle of it. Naruto was the first up the ladder and the first to exit the hatch, which lead to some kind of storage area. He was quiet, despite being clad in his Valyrian Steel Armor. Naruto waited until the room was full of his men before he kicked the door open. It ended up being the right decision, because two guards were walking by and Naruto immediately pulled out Dark Sister and sliced both of their necks wide open.

The 1000 man strike force did not experience much opposition until they got into the courtyard. Most of the defending Lannister soldiers were on the walls or in their barracks, likely due to the arrogant belief that the Rock could not be conquered. So, the Targaryen and Reyne/Tarbeck soldiers cut down the few hundred or so Lannister men that stood on the barracks. He was one of the first to make it to the gate with Tormund, and soon enough they had enough men to pull the chain and open the gates.

"PULL!" Naruto roared, and the dozen or so men all heaved the chain down and the great stone gates slowly opened.

A loud roar came from the distance, and Naruto could hear the thundering of hooves before a loud bell began ringing from within the castle. Grinning, he turned back towards the courtyard and flicked his wrist, swinging the sword in a full circle before he charged back into the fray as their forces rushed into the castle.

Suffice to say, with their army rushing into the castle like that, their victory in the battle was assured.

Nightime

Naruto was sleeping alone after the hard fought victory on the bed when a shadow passed over his face in the dimly lit room. Turning his head and opening his eyes, he saw that it was Sansa, wearing only a white nightgown. Naruto looked at her with a smile, which removed the last bit of hesitation she had and let her dress fall to the floor.

Lemon start

Naruto sat up as he observed Sansa. Sansa Stark had grown into a true beauty with her fair unblemished skin, flat stomach and full pair of breasts with erect nipples. Her alluringly shaped thighs concealed a slight tuft of auburn hair that concealed her delicious, wet pussy. He offered her his hand and she took it, allowing herself to be drawn into sitting in his naked lap, his hardening cock rubbing against her nether region. Their lips met with a fevered, desperate hunger. He wrapped his arms around her body and pulled her more into him. Being who he was, he did not pass up on the opportunity to run his hands down her back and grab two handfuls of her pert ass.

Sansa welcomed it. She returned his kiss with just as much passion and heat, and her own hands were not passive. She rubbed at his back and ran her hands through his silver hair. A few moments of this heated makeout session continued before Naruto flipped them around so Sansa was laying on the bed and Naruto was hovering overtop of her, his hardened cock ready to spear her and claim his prize.

Sansa felt that the foreplay Shiera and the others spoke about could wait. Due to what she suffered at Ramsay's hands, it had taken this long with both Naruto's love and the harem sisters support to work up enough courage to consummate her relationship with Naruto. She still suffered from nightmares about the night Ramsay raped her and feared she would falter if they dragged it out before getting to the main event. She conveyed all this with a single pleading word, "Please." She spoke, hoping Naruto would understand her meaning.

Naruto's knowing smile seemed to convey that he did and he buried himself inside of her in one swift stroke, causing a surge of pleasure to erupt from her core.

Sansa could only moan as she felt Naruto's hard raw dick fill her sensitive insides to their very brink. She felt him press against her womb as it twitched inside of her. It was so much different from the pain of her first time with Ramsay.

"Relax, love. Let me make you feel good." Naruto said as he looked over her with a smile, before he started to pull out slowly. Once only the throbbing head was still in her, Naruto slammed his hip's into Sansa's, making his cock sheathe right back into her. Sansa couldn't help but give a scream of pleasure as she felt her womb being rattled under the force of her lover's actions.

He slammed into Sansa's cunt over and over, making both her ass and breast giggle under the force of his actions as she can't help but moan every time his tool speared her, which was making her have mini-orgasms every time he thrust into her as his tip pressed against her womb each time. Sansa wrapped her legs around Naruto's waist to drive him deeper into her, and held on tightly to his back.

"N-Naruto, pl-please give me your seed. I want to feel your seed in my womb!" Sansa managed to say after how many times she had cum from Naruto's dick and having her very core rattled with every thrust of his hips. Naruto gave her just what she wanted as he thrust deeply into her, piercing Sansa's womb and sending her into an orgasm as he filled her womb with his hot seed.

"There's so much," Sansa moaned out as her cunt was filled with his dragon seed while Naruto kissed her. She could only guess what he will do to her now that he had gotten her warmed up and shown her that she had nothing to fear about having sex with him. Naruto kept himself inside of her and flipped their position so he was on his back and she was riding him.

He gripped her waist tightly and thrust up into her. He felt how tight she was and how she held onto his throbbing dick with every inch that went inside of her. Naruto didn't stop until he bottomed out in her deepest regions which made her gasp to let him know she had reached her limit as well. He quickly began to fuck her like an animal, thrusting up into her as fast as he could.

Sansa moaned loudly as Naruto began hitting her G-spot, before she sat up slightly and grabbed the back of Naruto's head, and brought his head up to her breast's, causing him to immediately start sucking on her nipple, as he thrust even harder into her. She even began to move her hips in conjunction with his thrusts, causing their pleasure to increase further.

"By the Old Gods, I love you! I am cumming! Cum in me Naruto!" Sansa shouted, as she and Naruto held each other's hands. Naruto groaned as both lovers came and were sent over the edge. He pulled out of her and lay on his back next her as he pulled her tight against his body and kissed her passionately as Sansa pulled the covers over them.

Lemon End

This passionate encounter with his beloved Red Wolf had reminded Naruto that he still needed to save the Tyrells. Not only that, but it would be happening tomorrow.

Kings Landing

Sept of Baelor

Many nobles and smallfolk were gathered in the Sept of Baelor to watch the trial of Cersei Lannister. The majority of those present were not really important, but the ones that were, were Margaery Tyrell, The High Sparrow and his Sparrows, and the Tyrell Family, minus Olena. Olena did not want to stick around since the entire capital had been overrun with religious fanatics, which were the Sparrows. The Sparrows were a religious movement that arose within the Faith of the Seven. It was mostly composed of the lowest and humblest of the holy faith and was formed in response to the suffering inflicted on the smallfolk of Westeros during the War of the Five Kings. The Faith of the Seven and its followers had been incensed by attacks on holy men and women and the sacking of septs carried out by foragers, such as the Brave Companions, during the War of the Five Kings.

The new High Septon, known as the High Sparrow, manipulated Queen Regent Cersei Lannister into overturning Maegor's law, which made it illegal for holy men to bear arms, effectively outlawing the Faith Militant in any capacity. Cersei Lannister, in order to secure the Faith's blessing for her son and cancel the near one million dragons the crown owed the Faith, allowed the High Septon to restore the Faith Militant. This military arm of the Faith had not existed in the realm since it was disbanded by Jaehaerys I Targaryen aka Naruto, and rightly so. The Faith Militant were religious fanatics and intolerant of any that did not worship the Faith. They were in large part responsible for wiping out most of the worship of the Old Gods in Westeros, aside from the North. Maegor had been right to try to destroy them, and Naruto as Jaehaerys had been right to disband them.

But that was neither here nor there. When Margaery had been taken captive by the Faith Militant, she had little choice but to make an alliance with them since her husband was a sweet but pliant little boy and couldn't save her. Now though, as she saw the state her brother, the bloody 7-pointed star carved into his forehead, she began to regret her decision.

"You mutilated him." Margaery accused the High Sparrow as she turned to him, anger shining in her eyes, "You gave me your word."

"And I have kept my word. Once the queen mother's trial is concluded, Brother Loras is free to leave." The old fool said, as if he was justified in mutilating a man who's only crime was an attraction to the opposite sex.

"And where is the queen mother?" Margaery challenged him, as the very person who was supposed to be on trial, was not even present.

"Her litter never left the Red Keep." Lancel informed them as he approached the High Sparrow.

"It appears the queen mother doesn't wish to attend her own trial." Surmised the High Sparrow as he turned towards Lancel. "Go to the Red Keep and show her the way." Lancel went to do just that, but little did he know, he would not make it.

After almost half an hour of waiting, Margaery noted that everyone in the Sept was beginning to get anxious, her other 2 brothers and Lord Kevan Lannister in particular. She was struck by a realization as her instincts were telling her to run. Those instincts were well trained and had kept her alive this whole time. She realized that not only was Cersei not coming, but that everyone in the Sept were her enemies, and they were all conveniently gathered in one place. Margaery had not forgotten that the Royal Family owned the right to purchase Wildfire. At one point, Margaery had thought that Cersei was not crazy enough to actually blow up the Sept. But now, Margaery realized that Cersei was that crazy.

"There's something wrong." She told the High Sparrow.

"You have nothing to fear, Your Grace. The trial will begin shortly." The High Sparrow said.

"Cersei is not here. Tommen is not here. Why do you think they're not here?" She questioned.

"If the accused is not here, she will be tried regardless. We cannot escape the justice of the gods—" The High Sparrow babbled on and Margaery finally lost her patience with the pious fool.

"Forget about the bloody gods and listen to what I'm telling you." She snapped, causing some among the crowd to gasp as they overheard the entire conversation. "Cersei understands the consequences of her absence and she is absent anyway, which means she does not intend to suffer those consequences. The trial can wait. We all need to leave." The Sparrow scoffed at this.

"We all need to leave now." Margaery said to the crowd as their whispers intensified and she walked over to her brother. "Loras. Stay with me."

As she led him towards the doors, the Sparrows barred anyone from leaving, including Margaery. "Let me through." She told them, but they refused. She kept trying but to no avail as the Sparrows kept everyone in their spots.

"Lady Margaery," came a voice, and she and everyone present turned to the middle of the Sept to see a figure standing in the middle of the Sept. Margaery, Loras and seemingly everyone forgot their panic for a moment and turned to the source of the voice. They were greeted with the sight of a man in all black armor, it's spikes and red glowing eyes giving the man the appearance of a demon.

He walked swiftly toward Margaery and Loras, stating, "It's time to leave." Before they could do anything, he wrapped his arms around them and their forms moved through time and space. When he let go of them, Margaery and her brother fell to their knees, their stomachs queasy.

"Sorry abut that." She heard him say, "Side-along teleportation is usually unpleasant for a first timer. Anyway, don't go anywhere." He said as he disappeared from sight, reappearing moments later with her brother Garlan. She realized as Garlan appeared that they were outside of Kingslanding, on hill several miles to the North. It became apparent as the man reappeared with Willas Tyrell in hand, that he was saving them from whatever Cersei was planning.

Margaery was grateful, but then they felt the earth rumble beneath their feet. All those gathered turned to look at Sept, while the armored man muttered, "Shit".

At that exact moment, the Sept glowed bright green before the flames erupted outward from the sept, burning and killing everything in it's path while the structure of the Sept crumbled to pieces and a plume of green flame rose into the air above where the tallest point of the Sept used to be. Tyrell siblings all looked on in horror at the scene. How many people had just been killed? Thousands, at least. Worse yet, their father was amongst those fresh casualties.

Naruto cursed under his breath. He had not really needed to save any of the Tyrell's aside from Margaery and Willas, but it still was the right thing to do. Unfortunately, while he could have prevented the entire thing from happening, he needed it to happen, so he could turn the entire populace against Cersei. It didn't mean he did not feel guilt for the innocent lives that he had just sacrificed. But that was who he was. A good man who was willing to do terrible things sometimes to achieve a greater goal.

'For the Greater Good,' Naruto thought to himself, promising to make sure that those innocents that died this day would not die in vain.

He turned back to the Tyrell siblings. Most of them had tears in their eyes at the thought of their deceased father, though Loras, due to his recent tortures, was unable to stop himself from openly weeping.

"I'm sorry for your loss, My Lords and Lady. But though I loathe to pull you from your grief, I must remind you that it is not safe for you here in King's Landing right now." Naruto said as he turned to the weeping siblings.

"I am grateful for you saving our lives, Ser. But who are you?" Willas asked as he slowly stood with the support of his cane.

Naruto took off his helm, revealing his spiky white hair and purple eyes. "I am Naruto Targaryen." He stated, Acnologia roaring in the air at it landed behind him with a thud. He held out his hand for them to take. "Now, I know you just lost your father, but we really do need to leave. Come with me, and I will take you to the safety of Highgarden."

The new Tyrell lord looked to his distraught and grieving siblings before he made the decision for all of them.
