All the lords who were formerly vassals of the Tullys and disobeyed their lord to follow their king will receive a promotion of one rank of nobility as well as 5,000 to 50,000 gold dragons."

It had already been more than a month since I had settled in the capital, and I had already organized several parties to entertain nobles and wealthy merchants from all horizons, I had easily burned through quantities of vodka and whisky equivalent to 5,000 gold dragons in just one week, but that wasn't a real problem when you know the capacity and production speed of my distilleries.
What really bothered me was that no one could manage the supply and sale of my products, at full capaci...

During the following 3 months, I continued to train my troops while forming others, I was preparing for the war that was inevitably coming but that I was delaying as best as I could.
I wanted to push back the war as long as possible because I did not want to become the king of ashes, even by subduing the Baratheons and the Lannisters, I still had to deal with the revolts of Daenerys who would have in the future three dragons and possibly Viserys and my "half-broth...

Time passed and my army began to take shape. After 4 moons, I finally managed to gather, train, and instruct 10,000 soldiers with an average age of 25 days of names. I dismissed all fighters over 40 years old and recruited them as instructors. I couldn't trust them, but I could use them to toughen up my troops in training.
I had 10,000 men and now about 1200 instructors who taught them almost everything there was to know about street fighting all day long. I also...
