POV: Vlad

It has been few weeks of slow ass travel through the wolfswood because of the hundreds of people walking with packs full of supplies and few dozen horses pulling carts full of other supplies including chickens in cages and pigs and few goats and food and seeds and all other tools that we need so we don't starve to death in the wilds as some of my guards have started to call my lands luckily we soon arrived.

And once we have ''finally'' arrived as Theon a young guard of 19 years old have to say what was at all of their minds all of the people just stood in awe at the beauty of my valley which is in between two high mountains who still have white peaks even during summer and the valley has a nice wide river flowing in the middle and at the sides are black granite cliffs and all of us can hear the birds and other animals making their noises heard so that we all know the valley is full of life.

Soon after that the elder of the smallfolk a mother of 36 years old and the oldest of my ''civilians'' have asked me on what location do I want them to set up their village so I point out a small hill right next to the river and few hundred meters from my cave entrance only few Km or miles from us and deeper in the valley, and she gracefully bow to me and directed the large influx of humans into the valley to set up tents and pens for the animals to stretch their legs after being in cages for ages.

While I took my guards and told them to set up at the entrance of the cave for now, and just as I predicted they ask me how does my home look like and I did want them to see the high tech inside and freak them out and them then to proclaim me a wizard or some other name like that I just told them that they will see my home later...what will come much later than now.

For the first two weeks half the man folk of my smallfolk was in the woolfswood cutting down trees to build the future homes while the other half was clearing a large section of the valley of trees and bushes for the upcoming plowing and then planting of the many seeds that the villagers have, unfortunately, and luckily for them after I have seen them having only wooden plows and only few iron tools for farming purposes I spent 2 days at my forge and made them steel tools and few seed drills to help them out.

But just as I was thinking they have all under control now I saw what plants they intended to plant and I was shock still for they only have few plants who will not even give them that much food per acre plated so I quickly went and cracked open my seed packs and shown them how to plant potatoes, corn, pumpkins, beans and few other high giving plants per acre to supplement their carrots, wheat, onions, cabbages, barley and other plants that was normal during medieval times of Europe before the age of exploration and I must say almost all of them where at the verge of crying after I gave them taste of mash potatoes and boiled corn that I had in storage.

For the next 6 months the small hill was a hive of activity, I told them to build the village in a square look and then split it up in 4 more squares with each having 30 large homes with the look of a cabinet from the outside but inside you should see stairs leading to the cellar that will be used for food storage and firewood because I remembered that winners in Westeros can last for 5 or more years.

And during those first six months one harvest was collected with me and my guards helping out and there was not one person that shocked after they have seen the literal truckloads of potatoes, corns, and pumpkins filing half of each family cellar with more food in the mix among the many shelves that I told them to build in my anticipation for all the food to be properly stored on them for winter.

And not just them where busy during those long spring months, my builders who are sent to help me out and my guards where spending almost each day hard at work preparing and making granite block that are going to be used for building my version of Helm's Deep, basically what I will do is take the same look that the movie version has but make it just a little bit biger...by bigger I mean just make the main part of the castle wider and add few floors that are located beneath the gate and courtyard level.

Basically after anyone enters into the keep will see a large flat courtyard for training and at one side a person would see a path leading down into the future stables for horses one floor down, then beneath that will be the armory with bows, arrows, armors, shield, sword and any other weapon or armor you could think of any army needs I will make it and put it inside, and beneath that floor will be the barracks for my future household guards for at least 450 man to sleep in bunk beds, and just in case at the lowest floor will be a large storage room to keep enough food for minimum 10 years at all times for all my guards and any servants that I will have to have and keep as one of the nobility of Westeros to uphold my ''image''...pff.

Anyhow to continue the castle will not be just on the outside because I plan to turn the first 200 meters of my cave that is not under any use before the entrance of my real home and the big as all fuck steal vault doors all that until now area of the cave will be turn into a large two-part underground castle with the first one following the same floor plan as the castle as on the outside but this one will follow only the first 100 meters of the cave and it will go in a horizontal order of building and with no stairs because fuck stairs.

The second part and the most innermost part of the castle will be for my own use but build with guest rooms, grand hall for throwing feasts, library, kitchen, few rooms for my servants that I just must have after talking about it with my guard captain and he told me that I can't be a Lord without servants...fuck medieval times, at least they are still alive unlike Earth with its technology and overpopulation problem that drown half the world mad, so I guess I will not be going to introduce Modern life to this paradise.

I plan to build the part of the castle that will be for my own use and for my guest if anyone ever comes and visits me, will be in a style of the 19 century British nobility ( or if anyone wants to google it just look for an image of Hogwarts interior from Harry Potter movies) to give out a look of awe and class and fear maybe?.

In the end the first 3 years have passed by so fast I could not have believed it my self if not for my watch telling me the date and I must say, my people...yes my people! have done a great job the village is finish but has grown in size thanks to our need to store the large amount of food from the past 7 harvests that we had and the few new families that have arrived from the mountains clans who have got word about our fertile land from Winterfell after I have gone and sold 43 carriages full of flour, corn, and potatoes who we simply put have to mutch, even if winter last for 10 years my people have food to not starve.

And in that time my castle was not finished but the walls are and the underground part of the castle is thanks to my use of my digging robots ( in secret! don't get your panties all in a bunch) and with my not needing to sleep and rest I finish the walls and interior put up beds, tables, chairs, and other stuff so now it's at least livable underground for me and my guards who are sick of living in tents for the past 3 years so I had to hurry the hell up before a mutiny comes from them.

And their faces were priceless in complete shock for the whole time during the tour after I took the guards and show them the guard barracks and then my ''home'' and they told me few times that not even Kings of Winter live in such luxury, heh if only they know the truth, and so after they where now living in comfort in soft spring beds that I have put on their beds from my true home they where at bliss and went working at finishing the outside of the castle in berzerker fashion and in just one more year Helms Deep was ready to receive King Stark to show him that I'm a true Lord now, not of a wild valey but a true Castle fit for a King!.
