The Reach 277 AC
Two Weeks after Winter harvest
Highgarden
Annoyance that is all I feel as I listen to my son throw a temper tantrum sighing I scream '' Mace Calm down and Make sense ''.
Mace whines '' But mother the North have cut down buying Crops from us''.
Sighing in Frustration Olenna goes '' Yes in food but now they are buying different seeds and trees that they are using for paint and selling to essos which I can only point out can only be grown here and to make it better they even offered us 10% of the profit which I would point out equals the amount we were making from food the only thing we are in trouble of is in wine thanks to the blasted Dustin's who now make five new drinks the Whiskey, Vodka, Rum, Northern Wine which cools you off and Cider which has made the Dustin's incredibly rich ''.
Snorting Mace says '' Mother The Redwynes have profited from wine for years there be fine ''.
Olenna Curses the gods at the idiocy of her son and slowly says '' Yes now but if something isn't then the north will soon take over the profit from both Redwynes and Dorne ''.
Mace nods slowly and says with a stupid smile '' Don't worry mother I promise any Northern drink touch Highgarden ''.
Moaning in agony at her son Olenna couldn't believe that he came from her loins but sadly she knew he did. Getting up with left and Right following walking out of Mace's solar she comes into her grandson Nursery smiling she looks at Garion shaking herself she continues on toward her gardens and looks out smiling she walks over to shadow spot and sits in her chair and grabs a bottle of Northern wine and pours a cup of it sighing she drinks the wine thinking '' Fuck this is Astronomical bad especially since the Northern wine can cool you down on a hot day ... what to do ''. A light ball goes off causing a grin to come to her face '' I'll marry my niece to Lord's Dustin third son then have him create a line of drinks ''. Pleased with herself she leans back as she sets to enjoy the day.
The North
Moat Collin
Gregor Forester the fifth son of Lord Forester stares at his workers and moans as he thinks '' Marbles we need Marble for the walls to defend the Moat as well the towers ... fuck why can't I just use Stone but no Lord Aragon told us to build the Moat's Towers and wall with marble which as we know grow only on Skagroos and in two spots in the winter which Rickard is using to rebuild the towers and walls in their own castle as well as expanding the small town''. Moaning in annoyance Gregor shakes himself and gets out of his tent and whistles for his horse which was quickly brought over mounting the horse Gregor slowly gets out of the camp which he knew will also be the first of those who will live in the city bringing the city to a total population of 26,000 a good number and you think that the smell is horrible no instead Aragon gave each of them a sewer system that will allow clean roads and town with a strict Cleanliness that already cause one man to lose a day pay for not keeping to his law which of course got the others to keep to his new law. Sighing to Himself Gregor looks at the Keep he was building right now the walls were being repaired with Pipes installed in them plus the new Plumbing which Rickard was selling to Westeros and Essos already for a huge profit in fact since it was just Stark own they have made 170,000 GD ( that is worth 4.5 Million in US Dollars ) from that alone and since that source needs water the Pipes were connected to a water tower which they were told to hire others to place water in to replace every week allowing clean water to flow through and the water they used is now drained into a warehouse with people turning it into Compost for soil which is then being sold to Quallen Greyjoy who was working to bring the ironborn out of their ways now they have seeds for Food for their iron and gravel given their lords a lot of Gold which is the only reason the ironborn haven't killed Quallen who was bringing them a lot of Gold. Gregor could feel hope in his chest with the news that the Reader asked Lord Stark to Foster his second son with his Heir being fostered to Dorne to Oberyn exchange for the North's timber and the Dorne's grounded sand which he wants to use to buy seeds which he will use to remove all but the iron from his lands and instead use them for glasshouses and he plans on using it for soil. for the gardens and Glasshouses.
Which made them 350,000 GD ( 16 Million $ )
Snorting Gregor knew that Stark was spending 80% of their vaults rebuilding the north's Army, Lands, and Keeps. now I'm not Wyman Manderly but they should have only 73,000 GD in their vaults.
Bringing himself out of his head Gregor watches his Men build smiling slightly at the sight he leans back on his Ryswell horse and smiles at the sounds of Hammers and grunts come from his builders looking at the Moat for a moment he tightens his strap and looks at his saddle which holds his Longsword blinking for a moment he grins as he plans to himself '' I'll talk to whoever Lord Stark chooses to become Lord of the Moat if he will accept me as his master of arms ... Maybe my friend Lonnercen Glover can become the Lord's of the Moat Captain of the guard yes that will be great ''. Planning his future he gets lost in his head as he watches the towers and Keeps slowly being built alongside three hundred guards giving to him by Lord Stark to protect the Laborers from Bandits around these parts.
Winterfell
Aragon walks the streets of Wintertown smiling at people who slowly bow and turn right back to work smiling at each of them I look at the Bathhouses that litter the streets pleased that his people is keeping to his strict laws on the cleanliness of course with people coming from flea Bottom and the poor sections of Westeros they would know all about the smell which is why when he created public restrooms and Showers he received no opposition to the laws that he had Lord Stark make which of course saw Grandpa naming Brandon Mayor which of course he instantly gave me to train me ( At least that is what he said instead Dad is more than likely talking to the other lords and trying to find a spot to build the Training grounds for the new Northern army.
Shaking himself he listens to Jaquen a faceless man who the others sent to serve as their main contact to their lords champion as he states '' I have looked over your Candidates and I see only one worthy to become your Steward and in time your Mayor ''. Aragon smiles at him and says '' Thank you, my spymaster, and how is setting up my network ''. Jaquen pleased at his Master's words answers '' Thanks to your ideas and training I have managed to turn at least three in every great and Minor house in Westeros and I am looking for someone to take over for Whores ''. Smiling Aragon states '' Good My Master of Whispers ( King Spy all others report to him )now as you know I want to create an elite of the elite known as the rangers I wish you to have ten faceless men train those who become apart of the known elite the wolf pack then choose the very best to become Rangers can you do it ''. Grinning Jaquen answers '' This man will work on it ''. Bowing Jaquen walks out of Aragon's Tower which is where he now stays it has four floors.
The very 1 Floor is his Personal Kitchen and Stock
2 Floor is his Armory/ Library
3 The is his Office / Magic room
4 is His Bed chambers and only Himself and A single maid that he personally chose can enter and the Maid is paid 2 Dragons a Month ( $120,000 ) to keep her loyal I've even given her ten guards to keep her family safe.
Aragon's Tower was built right next to Winterfell castle and can fit 50 People before they start running out of the room grinning Aragon gets up and walks down and out of his Tower heading to the training area for his lesson today which is on multiple opponents since I've shown a mastery for every weapon.
Rickard had Winterfell expanded now the walls reach miles behind which serves as the Barracks for the castle of course with that he had the Castle raised to show off their wealth without being Vain and once the builders finish he had the towers rebuilt and 3 new ones built they are
's Tower
2. Maester's Tower
3. Research Tower
Which was added to the broken tower, Servant Tower ( Which was now the storage tower ) Armory Tower and the Servant Quarters which has been expanded to contain two thousand people of which only 500 are servants the others were for their family.
Riverlands
In broad daylight, two men ride onward both of them looking at the surroundings of running rivers and swaying grass.
Two figures appear on the horizon grass and water all around him one of them sighs and faces the other '' Bronn are you sure that Lord Stark's letter specified ask for you to come North to help them build a standing army ''.
Bronn of Blackwater smiles and snorts as he says '' yes I am sure ... don't forget I battled in Essos defeating the Warlocks of Torth who were working to Release monsters on Essos since then I have been Contacted by Merchants all over Essos and thanks to that I have an account in the Iron Bank that I've paid them to invest which earned me fame ''.
Sighing Victor Cerwyn (The fifth son of a Minor Minor house of the North) turns back to the crossing and groans as he rides on his shire horse towards the crossing riding down mud and dirt Victor spits as Dirt and mud were churls up hitting his face.
Whistling Bronn gets Victor's attention as he points to two Riders. Bronn smirks inwardly at the two freys facing Victor he says '' Let me handle this if he asks to marry you then look through the women remember you are the fifth son ''.
Victor reddens as he nods facing the quickly approaching men who shout '' What is a Northerner and a Sellsword doing crossing Lord Frey's bridge ''.
Bronn smiles charmingly as he brings out a letter and shouts back '' I have been asked to go North for a huge job for Lord Stark ''!
Snorting the one in the lead says
'' Come Father would like to meet both of you ''.
Bronn nods and clicks his horse following the two back to The Crossing
The Twins
Walder Frey snorts as he looks down at the two men shaking his head '' 200 Dragons too pass ... oh and Fifth son pick a frey ''. Chuckling Walder watches stunned as Victor looks at the women and stares at a 10-year-old girl smiling he turns and says '' I'll take the ten-year-old girl I have a feeling she will be beautiful and smart ''.
Smiling Wide Walder screams '' YES DONE in fact A feast for my soon to be good Brother and maybe yes what about you sellsword ''.
Bronn smiles easily as he looks at the fifty different women and grins as he answers '' Yes I will in fact what if I spend the next two moons here and I guarantee that I will have every last one of your brood a Marriage ''.
Walder Frey grins brightly as he shouts '' Yes and if so you will never pay again ''.
Bronn grins as he says '' Done ''.
Bowing Bronn looks at Victor and says '' Make certain lord Stark know that I'll be down in three moons ''. Shrugging the 14 Year old Victor says '' Ok I'll write up a contract and we can agree on a Marriage Contract ''. Walder grins as he screams at a nearby servant '' Wrench have a guest room made for them both and tell the kitchen that we are having a feast ''.
1 Moon Later
The fifty Merchants in Essos receive a message from their Savior
I found A bride ( For those with Men ) or Groom for the Women they are lord children from Westeros from house Frey a lord of the Riverlands.
Reading the Message the Merchants each agree when the letter mentions the debt they own clear writing there own they each agree to discounts in the Riverlands for their products plus giving Lord Frey 2% of their profit.
2 weeks later
Lord Frey roars with laughter as Letters come from Essos agreeing to betrothals smiling wide Lord Frey signs each of them as he looks at Bronn with a huge grin he says '' Nicely done Bronn of Blackwater you have managed to gain me, wives, for all my children and you, even made Lord Tully personally thank me for actually using his Rivers making ever lord a lot of Money which they all give 2% to me which has given me 20,000 GD already so as to are agreement''. Walder hands Bronn a letter and says '' Go with my thanks and know that you have a friend in the Freys
Riverrun
Meanwhile
Holster listens to his steward in anger at his report in the throne room '' So you're telling me that our lords are publicly thanking Lord Frey for increasing their profits by ten percent and they are giving over 2% to him in thanks ''.
Steward Justin incredulous slowly nods '' Yes and they are giving us 10% of their profits which I have been using to buy northern steel and Iron ''.
Holster sighs knowing they need the steel of the north '' Fine your dismiss''. Waving him away Holster tries to think how to keep the lords' loyalty ... opening Lord Arryn 's letter he reads
''.Lord Tully, I write to you out of concern and ambitious I offer you the opportunity to raise the status of your house and remove the dragons from power and to have Tully blood ruling three kingdoms interested ''
Holster smiles as he writes
'' I am ''.
