-6th day of the 6th moon, 299 AC-

Since I completely crushed Stannis's forces at Storm's End, I have spent more than a month and a half accepting oaths of allegiance and destroying the strongholds of the last recalcitrants who opposed my sudden rise as the Supreme Lord of the Stormlands.

How did I become the Supreme Lord of the Stormlands? Nothing simpler... the plan I devised with my spy Rogar Storm was simple… CAPTURE.

I implemented a plan to capture important figures. For now, Storm's End had become the temporary home of Myrcella Baratheon because I sent my fleet of 30 ships to intercept the one taking her to Dorne.

I also ordered Rogar to spy on the Night's Watch led by Yoren to kidnap Arya by giving him her description. Nothing was easier since we weren't in a story where she was the main character. The detachment of 100 horsemen captured Arya Stark without any trouble.

I did the same with Lady Stark before she could get out of reach of the camp. I sent scouts to invite her to Storm's End. Though protected by Brienne, I had no difficulty convincing her that it was in all our interests for her to come back and justify herself, since we knew each other as youths, and I was one of the few who believed in her dream of becoming a knight.

'Because I already knew she would be,' I thought, remembering the beating I gave the boys who mocked her.

I didn't keep the Tyrells against their will, but they decided to stay at Storm's End, and their grandmother even began a journey here to see me, although I think she mainly wanted to talk to Cersei.

Speaking of Cersei... well, I messed up, but who can say no to that beautiful she-devil throwing herself into your arms seeking protection and warmth?

I'm a gentleman, and I gave the lady what she wanted, and even though it cost me a lot, I managed to come out winning from our... intense negotiations.

I had subdued the Stormlands, but I still didn't have unanimous support, which is one of the reasons I decided to marry off daughters, cousins, or widows to my men and gave them the names, castles, and lands of those families.

Arion became Lord Arion Grandison after I had him marry the widow while I executed the lord of House Grandison without hesitation.

Sam became Lord Samuel Morrigen by marrying the eldest daughter of Lord Morrigen, whom I executed while imprisoning his heir.

Victor became Lord Victor Fell by marrying the widow of the late Lord Fell, while Rodrik became Lord Rodrik Buckler as I betrothed the youngest daughter of House Buckler to his eldest son, executing the rest of the family to ensure no one could claim his title in the future.

With the four of them leading these houses, I could now muster more than 5,000 additional soldiers at any time, and on top of that, I recovered half of the wealth of these houses as well as the lands adjacent to mine.

Now that four of my lieutenants had "left" me, it was imperative to replace them, but that was not something that worried me because I already had a large number of replacements in mind.

Seeing my unscrupulousness in almost exterminating entire houses to give them to my men, everyone sided with me out of fear of suffering the same fate and swore allegiance within the week.

I felt Cersei's head move on my shoulder, and I began to pepper her neck and face with delicate kisses. Little by little, I moved down and reached the top of her chest.

Seeing that she continued to pretend to sleep, I kept going down until she could no longer pretend, stifling a moan.

She opened her eyes with a misty look, and I said, "Ready for our second round?"

"No, you've broken me, I couldn't bear another time," she said seductively.

'Very well, you want to play,' I thought.

"Looks like my little cat is sick. Don't worry, I'll take care of you," I said, disappearing under the sheets.

It didn't take two minutes before Cersei's moans alerted the entire castle to what we were doing... or rather what I was doing to her... I wonder what Jaime will think when he returns to find that I've taken what he loved most in the world.

I don't think I could have found a better way to get revenge on him in the worst possible manner.
