Chapter 13: 13
What magic was, how it existed, who discovered it, those questions were always going to be surrounded by mysteries, Melisandre was in an enormous mystery or crossroads, surrounded by people who, at the slightest intention of escaping, had the authorization to cut off her head. Although Harry Potter was a good host, he had to say that his way of doing things was very unconventional, he treated her in a good way like all his servants, and she didn't seem like a hostage. But if she touched one foot outside the castle she was a dead woman, when she was with Stannis she heard many of her guards wanting to rape her just to enjoy her body, without knowing that this appearance was only a mirage of what she really was. . . Well or so she thought, for no apparent reason, the price she had to pay to become a priestess was repaired, Harry Stark removed her curse, and now she could safely walk without that damned necklace that hid what was once her appearance. On the one hand, she was happy, on the other hand, she was intrigued because he helped her, he had no reason, he even made her participate in his meetings with the other lords of the north who were displeased with his presence but he still followed his lord's orders. . .
They were very loyal to Harry, perhaps because of his power, it wasn't completely different, it wasn't because of his power, there was something more, something that other rulers didn't have, Harry believed them and showed him that things could be done. He was the protagonist of the change of power in the entire West, since his ascension to the ice throne of the North everything changed, the order of power in the entire West changed, without anyone realizing it. His strategies were always ten steps ahead of anyone, and he did not attack for the sake of attacking, he attacked depending on the rival's situation, as he did with the Greyjoys, when the Greyjoys stepped away from their revolution, the crown made a loan to the bank of iron, a loan that was supposedly intercepted by the Greyjoys, but in reality, it was the Stark ships that caused that incident. By forcing the crown to take a loan from House Lannisters and House Stark, a power they obviously used, the Lannisters managed to get their claws into the king's council, making Jon look like a fool until the day he died, but The real person responsible for the death was Harry Stark.
Who revealed a secret to him openly throughout Westeros, Harry, taking advantage of the alliance with Tywin Lannister, proposed to him to abandon King's Landing, so that Jon would lose credibility, which was great for Jon, since Cersei was not his father. That made Jon investigate the secret of incest between the two Lannister brothers, which caused the death of Jon Arryn, Lord Arryn's supposed ally was the same one who gave him to the crown on a golden platter. Thus pretending the loyalty of House Stark to the crown, a loyalty that undoubtedly had many buts in it, on the one hand, Melisandre had to admit Harry's ingenuity, striking in places where there was already a conflict with other houses. Currently, Harry was playing that same game with Renly and Stannis, the two Baratheons wanted to take the iron throne since Joffrey was not Robert's son, therefore only a Baratheon was capable of taking the throne, something completely wrong. From a certain point, Harry had already pushed them back before, but he was currently leaving them free space because he wanted them to destroy each other, something interesting to watch for sure.
-"Apparently, the people from the king's landing were very angry with the bastard they had as their King." - Lord Manderly spoke calmly, looking at his Lord who was looking at the bush that was in the middle of the room in silence listening to every word, every information that was given. They handed him over in this meeting since they were in charge of receiving the information that the spies sent him from the south - "The boy is a coward who abuses his power and Cersei is too useless that she cannot put a leash on him."-
-"My lord, why not finish it once and for all, I know I always say it, but we already have enough to take all of Westeros, don't you believe it?" - Rickard Karstark was the least patient among all the Lords of the north, they would accept any order from Harry, but always I wanted more information, I always wanted why it took so long, patience was a virtue, but they wanted revenge - If you order it...in a few days we will be bombing the king's landing.
In a war, the one who makes the first obvious move loses, plus they possess Valyrian fire... something that they will not hesitate to use against us... and our ships are not prepared for that - Harry said calmly, Valyrian fire a flammable and volatile liquid that can burn for a long time, burning everything in its path until it is completely consumed, impossible to extinguish and can burn on water, the alchemists - only the alchemists of King's Landing are the only ones who know the secret of its manufacture and they call it the substance...when I have a sample of that substance, we will have something to counteract it.
He lied, he knew exactly where the Valyrian fire was, but he needed to calm the Lords down since they knew how dangerous that thing could be if Lord Stark himself said that the monstrous ships of the North were not prepared for that substance, it was better to wait. . . Harry knew that alchemists made Valyrian fire in the basements of their Guild headquarters. A huge labyrinth under Visenya Hill. The creation process is unknown since it is kept completely secret, not even the king himself knows the method of creation, which was interesting, no alchemist was going to tell the secrets, he preferred to die before doing something interesting without a doubt. What is known is that a special type of magic is involved and the more powerful the magician, the more aggressive the fire will be, which allows a variety of low or high potency substances to be made. The guild's acolytes craft Valyrian fire in special cells in a very delicate process. The risk of explosion is very great and in that case, the ceiling of the cell collapses, burying the cell in sand, putting out the fire, but killing the acolyte.
Valyrian fire has the appearance of a green paste that ignites very easily, with contact with a small spark and even with the heat of the sun. It is stored in small clay jars, which over time transpire the substance, and with the passage of time, it becomes more active. A small blow is enough for the paste to ignite in greenish flames, burning everything that is placed around it, in a fire that is practically impossible to put out. Even underwater, it continues to burn until it extinguishes itself when the substance runs out. And something interesting that he recently discovered was that his arrival with the magical animals had an enormous effect on the magic as it should have when he was born and then the animals, the alchemists tried to have greater success in the one made with Valyrian fire, faster, more powerful and they began to dare to do it with more dangerous spells that had stopped working a long time ago, and they wanted to do what ancient alchemists managed to do in this world. At the height of their power, it was said that alchemists were able to transmute metals and create living creatures from pure fire, which was dangerous.
-"We need the substance to investigate that thing, counteract it, and create a more powerful one until then I want you to calm your desires, the time will come, is that clear?" – Harry received the nod of all the men, who were accompanied by his future heirs, who were only observing. the situation, many an age that resembled Harry's, but there was a difference in maturity - "Let's move on to the next topic...Lord Ryswell, how is animal husbandry going?"-
-"We only had problems with the new breeders...two of them got into the Nundu cages, one was eaten and the other lost a leg and an arm." - Lord Ryswell sighed, it was not a very gratifying scene to see, watching How a person was dismembered before being devoured was not something you want to see, and you wouldn't want it even on your worst enemy when you see it in the flesh - "As you said, beautiful, those animals are very dangerous...even though they are puppies, they have a great power and a voracious hunger."-
The Nundu is a giant mammal similar to a leopard, it moves silently despite its large size and is considered a very dangerous creature. It was in the magical world and it was in this world. Their breath caused diseases that could wipe out entire populations, so breeders needed special clothing to be around them. A Nundu is extremely difficult to bend, and it took several years to tame it, even with the magical armor that was put on each creature, it was very difficult for that animal not to attack its owner, which fortunately no longer happened with the Nundu. Dragons. Harry sighed, it was not the only accident he had with those animals, it was the most difficult animal to tame even with magic, he had to use the elder wand to be able to subdue them. Previously they only had 5, one male and five females, currently, that number increased and they have 75 specimens that were once again in the mating season, although this process took a while to arrive, it was the animal that produced the most offspring, which caused a greater consumption of Meat, obviously the raising of elk and other animals that were used for that, was good, but sometimes that could end.
-"We will start with an alternative plan...Lord Manderly I want five ships to speciate in search of whales...we will use their meat," - Harry had long ago meditated on trying to use whale meat as a means to feed all creatures that they had, that gave them time to increase the livestock, an ideal strategy since it was also an efficient method to generate an income – "the whale meat will be used to exclusively feed the animals...but we will use its oil to trade with the south...the whale house will be moderate...five whales per month for 5 months...that will help the livestock increase."-
-"As you say my Lord." - Lord Manderly had no problems, some time ago, Harry had sent a team to observe the points where he could find some whales, at first he did not understand why Harry wanted to find whales, it was strange since they had the Kraken, which gave you a whale, although I understood the plan perfectly at this point.
-"Now an important point...how is Ramsey doing in the Vale?" - Harry saw the satisfied smile of the Lords when hearing the name of Roose Bolton's bastard, the only one with Bolton blood still alive, who Harry helped to escape so that it generates conflict in the valley, making Jon Arryn think that Ramsey was his key to control the north – "I hope our show of mercy has not been in vain."-
The Valle
Ramsey was in power, he was happy with what he was going through, he took over the power of the Valley, he had to put up with Jon for a long time, but now he was gone, his wife became his sex toy, his son He was murdered because he was of no use to him. But he couldn't murder that woman, it meant that the North was going to go where it wasn't called for, so for now she was going to be just that, a simple toy that had to satisfy him until he gave him an heir or until he died. He didn't care at all, this was his kingdom currently, and no one was able to oppose his reign, since he had much greater support than the houses of the valley that were against his rule. As far as no one could do anything, he had Jon to thank for his stupidity in giving power to noble houses that didn't deserve such benefits. But right now he had an unexpected visitor, Petyr Baelish came to the valley to talk to him about an interesting topic, the iron throne. One that was currently in dispute, and that someone like him could Ramsey could run for the throne, obviously the trap was obvious, but Ramsey was no fool.
-"It's interesting, I thought you were going to be angry for what I did to your wife." - Ramsey looked at the bed where that woman was, completely naked and very tied up, Petyr looked for a few seconds but he didn't seem to care at all what happened to that woman. woman, he only slept with her for benefit and nothing more than that.
-"I have no interest in that woman, I have other goals." - Baelish was completely sincere, that woman only served at that moment to satisfy his desires, although whenever he was with her he imagined his sister, although now perhaps his sister, she was no longer. it doesn't go anymore to get what I wanted – "And my priorities are different."-
-"Your utopian dream is admirable but why do you think I will support that plan?" - Ramsey found it interesting, that Petyr wanted the Game of Thrones, to then stab him in the back and of course take control of the kingdom, they both thought. Likewise, Petyr. He was Jon's first student and Ramsey was an improved version, of course, much worse.
-"Revenge...and maybe you can have another girl or girls to satisfy your desire...Margaery Stark." - Petyr mentioned the woman who is considered the most beautiful in all of Westeros, Ramsey's gesture gave him the impression that he was interested in the aforementioned woman -"Artemis Stark...Mya Stark and of course, Lyanna Stark...who I am sure will be as beautiful as her mother." – For Petyr it was easy to influence people's desires, very simple without a doubt, and more when Ramsey thought he was ahead of his plan – "You can have them...while Harry Stark watches his wife and sisters being raped...it doesn't seem interesting to you."-
-"The idea is very tempting...but you still don't convince me...seeing myself on the iron throne while I fuck that idiot's sister...and seeing him before being burned alive like his father." - Ramsey had a smile, the imagination that was gratifying, in the eyes of Petyr who continued to maintain his calm composure, Ramsey was what he was looking for, a guy who loved to cause pain to people, that is why he came to the valley to have this conversation since with Oberyn he had not yet taken port, he did not even seem to care.
-"I will give you time to think about it, at the moment Renly and Stannis are fighting for the throne between them, they are not going to war yet, but there are small frictions." - Petyr was about to leave the place, but stopped for a moment, to see how Ramsey He undressed and went straight to the bed to rape Lysa again, who murmured, "help me."
He was only alarmed and left the room, with a smile on his face since apparently the idea of making that dream come true caused the young man some excitement, obviously, Ramsey was aware that he was going to betray him. Of course, that was what he wanted, that he thought he betrayed him, and it was something that was going to happen eventually, but otherwise, right now he had other plans, he had to go to the land of rivers to talk to the father of Lisa. Hoster is going to be outraged by how his daughter was treated and is going to send an army to rescue his daughter from that little boy, when that happens Ramsey is going to go to war. A war that was going to die, and then he was going to come and claim Lysa and of course the valley before accidentally murdering her. Then he would seek as a wife the daughter of one of the most powerful Lords in the valley to keep him under control. It was a nice plan that only worked because the main target was Ramsey.
The North
Harry thought about everything he had heard, how Ramsey had the power, and how he treated Lysa, it wasn't his problem at all, but that suited the North, he knew that this was going to be very useful to a certain insect that was just annoying. Petyr Baelish was going to take charge of this war, he didn't need to receive anything to know Baelish's plan, he couldn't convince Oberyn so he went to the Vale where Jon taught him and as Lysa's lover, he obviously had a lot of help as well as force. Maybe Ramsey anticipated that, but knowing how his daughter was being treated was going to hit him hard, not because she was his daughter, that man didn't care about his daughters. But since someone with Tully's blood was treated worse than a prostitute, that could certainly lead to a war between both kingdoms. They were neighbors to the North, a disturbance they were going to quell as it could be a distraction to the crown and the Baratheon brothers' attempt to take control of the kingdom. So the north was going to have to intercede in said war, thus taking control of the Valley and the Rivers.
-"Prepare an emissary, tell the little king what is happening." - With Harry's words, more than one smiling, his uncle Benjin BlackStark was the first to get up from his place and a smile to look for the emissary to give him the indication, He didn't need his nephew to give him more details, he knew how to act - "Uncle Ned, inform Catelyn that there is a possibility Brandon will take command of the Tully house... and that unfortunately it will have to be extinguished for betraying the crown... for supporting an attempt to overthrow the new king…"-
