Chapter 25: A spar and the birth of a legend.

Walking towards the courtyard with the Kingsguard behind me, I prepared the insects that could assist me—ones transmitting vibrations, injecting me with a small dose of adrenaline, others with endorphins, and one widening my blood vessels. Each was difficult to create, requiring over 100 times the biomass of a normal insect due to their complexity. Thankfully, I only needed to focus on making one or two pairs of each insect to allow them to reproduce independently.

I reserved these in...

Chapter 24: Keep your enemies closer.

"So, my lady. What do you think of what you've learned today?" I asked Lady Elyse as we walked through the halls of Winterfell.

"I believe the situation has become even more complicated, Lord Robb," she replied, keeping pace with me.

"Please, call me Robb, milady," I said with a smile. "I think we'll spend some time here, so let's spare ourselves the formality."

"Understood, young Robb," Elyse said, smiling back.

"Why don't you tell me about yourself, Lady Elyse?" I as...

Chapter 23: Problems Ahead.

Winterfell

Tyrion Lannister

"What do you think of the Starks, Lady Elyse?" Tyrion asked as they gathered after the maester had shown them their chambers.

"It's... interesting. Almost everything about the North is different from how people act in King's Landing, Lord Tyrion," Elyse replied after a moment of silence.

"Oh? Please elaborate," Tyrion prompted.

"Well... For starters, I noticed that Lord Robb was with us in the council ...

Chapter 22: The first day.

As we walked towards the dining hall, I observed the delegation that had entered the castle with great interest. Most of Tyrion's companions were important figures from King's Landing, yet they were not featured in the series.

Lady Elyse Harroway, a young woman in her thirties, presented herself with a perfect demeanor, as a lady should. She was responsible for handling dignitaries from outside King's Landing, receiving and treating them with the respect they deserved.

"You wouldn...

Chapter 21: Talks, Preparations, and Arrival

Walking with Jon as we left my father's solar, I mentally prepared how to start this conversation with my brother. I wanted Jon to be my right-hand man; his character showed loyalty in the series, and I knew that growing up together and for the years ahead, our bond would be strong. He could assist me and take command when I was unavailable.

As we walked, I said, "Jon, come with me to the dungeon; we'll have our conversation there."

Jon nodded, walking calmly towards...

Chapter 20: The North prepares.

The journey to Winterfell was fairly swift. Jon, Theon, Jory, and I rode without rest until we returned, still in "summer" despite the ongoing snowfall. The animals were accustomed to this climate, allowing us to reach Winterfell in thirteen days, stopping only when necessary to rest.

My intention in returning to Winterfell well ahead of the Southern delegation was to prepare my family for the types of questions and actions the delegation would take. I also aimed to conduct a thorough c...

Chapter 19: The plot progresses.

Casterly Rock 

Tyrion Lannister

Walking toward the solar, Tyrion wondered why his father had summoned him to his office when most days he didn't even want to see him. Knocking on the solar's door, Tyrion waited until his father called him in five minutes later, making him wait knowing that his deformed body suffered if he stood too long. He did not doubt that his father had done it on purpose to make him suffer. Tywin was like that, a cruel m...

Chapter 18: Progress and Meetings

Four months later.

With the profits gained from all the new products, continuing with our plans has been very smooth. The gold acquired by the four families was an unimaginable amount for the northern population; the latest production of vodka was so large that the Manderlys had to start creating more cogs and galleys to transport the products farther.

In a secret meeting between my father, myself, and Wyman Manderly, it was discussed that due to the North's newfo...
