Petyr’s execution was incredibly dull, besides him screaming and begging for mercy it was just a boring ordeal altogether. And while I did make an enemy out of this… it was one I could afford to ignore.

In the end, I had decided to not tell the lords of vale that… their lord was a bastard… the kid had no faults besides being stupid, and with that set everything was finally done, I had no opposition… I was the King of this fucked up world.

Now it was time to focus on my last enemy… the night king aka the great value Lich King, and I already had a few people working on that, with Daenerys supervising them.

For one I ordered Jon to oversee the mining of all the dragonglass on his newly acquired lands…. and going back to that… Daenerys was quite happy that Targaryen name would not die… she even found herself liking Lord Stark for saving her nephew… but going back to the plans for war.

Jon was mining all the dragonglass possible, ensuring we had more than enough for the upcoming war.

Ned Stark was using some of the dragonglass to reinforce the buildings in the north and put on some traps… after all, they were the first line of defense.

Melisandre was creating magically reinforced weapons that were almost as effective as Valyrian steel, with her technique all steel could be lethal to the others.

Daenerys on the other hand was overseeing the dragon forge, making weapons with the dragon fire of Qrow and Rhaegal… and of course checking in all the other projects, as for me… well, I was focusing on learning how to use my fire properly… I needed to have every power in my arsenal ready to kill.

*That’s it! Let the emotions flow through your fire,* Neltharion instructed happily.

“On it teacher,” I chuckled trying once again, making a bit more of fire with each punch, “I’m getting there… but not fast enough,” I sighed.

*You are improving faster than me… don’t worry,* Neltharion hissed happily, *Besides you have an awesomely handsome and capable teacher,* he joked.

“I suppose,” I chuckled, continuing with my training… at least I was preparing for the ice sucker… though I had yet to come with a plan to fight him… one on one that is.

[Jon Targaryen POV]

I had an aunt…. it was certainly a… good feeling, she was so harsh with everyone but when it came Ronard, the royal kids and me… she was so nice…. it was a weird feeling..I never had someone treating me… and I mean specifically me like that.

Was this how it felt to be part of a family and not a stranger living among others… well whatever it was… it was a good thing.

“Lord Targaryen,” One of the soldiers Ronard had put on my hands called me.

“Yes?” I turned to him, wondering what did he want.

“The dragonglass mines have some minor problems I would like to discuss before we go any deeper,” The soldier stated.

“Anything that can threaten the lives of the workers?” I asked with concern.

“Depends… is left unattended… it will eventually kill someone, right now? No,” The soldier answered.

“I see,” I sighed in relief, “You have my permission to proceed however you see fit,”

“Thanks for the vote of confidence Lord Targeryen,” The man nodded excitedly, “I won’t fail you!”

Well… this is something I will never get used to… people looking for my approval… and the whole Lord title… all of this is… so different to what I was used to… but Ronard believes in me… believes that I will rule this house with Honor…. that I will never betray him… and that’s something I plan to keep…

“Lord Targeryen!” One of the downsides of being a lord… everyone wants to talk to you.

“Yes?” I turned to look at the new soldier coming up.

“Lord Robb is here to see you,” The man announced, “He arrived a few minutes ago,”

Robb was here? “Guide him in, don’t make my brother wait,”

“They didn’t,” Robb answered before the man even had the chance to do so, “But in their defense I am your brother,” Robb smirked.

“Privileges only a few can have,” I smirked back.

“How is the lordly life treating you?” Robb asked as he hugged me.

“It’s not bad… but is full of work… so much paperwork…” I groaned, “I don’t know how Ronard does it… I have never seen him doing any paperwork…”

“Well, if ever find out how he avoids the paperwork… be a good brother and let me know,” Robb laughed.

“I will,” I chuckled.

“Arya, Bran and Rickon miss you… even Sansa though you know her…” Robb said with a smile.

“I miss them too… even Sansa,” I smirked.

“Well… it seems Ronard really left a mark on you,” Robb chuckled.

“Hard not to… that man is impressive,” A true warrior… a true father… a true friend… Ronard was the right man for that Throne… and after the last two Kings he would be seen as a god.

“Aye… he is,” Robb nodded, and then with a playful smiled asked, “Any future Lady Targeryen on the sights?”

I almost choked, “No…”

“I heard Lady Margaery is quite the beauty,” Robb smirked.

“I don’t think getting a wife is the right choice… right now,” Besides… there was no way I would marry Lady Margaery… she was a viper waiting for an idiot to fall… besides… all I wanted was someone to be my partner… someone to love me so that I could love her… I didn’t care for her status or anything… Margaery would only use me to rise the ranks…

“I suppose,” Robb nodded solemnly, “With those things coming… it would be best if we didn’t leave any widows…”

“Yes,” I nodded.

[Ned Stark POV]

Ronard had tasked me with protecting the wall… for the north was the first line of attack should the others break the wall… with Jon sending dragonglass and the knowledge we had about these monsters… I had a somewhat decent defense should they attack.

Part of the north defense was all the wildfire Ronard had acquired on King’s Landing… should they cross the wall… I would blow up the forest between the wall and the north… reason why I had evacuated the towns near the war… For if the time came where I needed to blow up those monsters I didn’t want any reason to hesitate.

“You are leaving?” Catelyn asked.

“Yes,” I nodded.

“Can I come?” Cat inquired.

“No… the King was clear… you are to never leave winterfell,” I answered.

“I- that man—” Cat sighed in desperation, “Then I will wait for you…”

“I know it’s hard… but if you want the king to be more forgiving the next time he sees you… you need to obey his word….” I kissed her, “Besides the wall is a very boring place…”

“I know…” Cat nodded.
