20 Chapter 21
DORNE:
I'm finally back from that creepy fucking place, I am now on my way to Dorne, to finally take some rest, I've not slept in a proper bed in months, we left the ships guarded by 50 men from the Aquatic Falcons, while the rest of them were coming with us, escorting our loot with them.
as I was thinking about that I notice that we're already above the city so I and my air force slowly descended to the waiting ground force, as I don't think it's appropriate to bring my monster army into a friendly city, I leave them outside.
I and my 300 Eternal Protectors Of The Falcon dismounted our mounts, they then followed me in front of the city, the Martells were waiting there because I sent a letter prior.
3RD PERSON POV:
as Arslan went to the Martell family he notices that Arianne is also with them.
Doran: welcome back.
Arslan: yes, thank you.
Doran: let's go inside.
Arslan gave Arianne one last look before he followed them inside followed by his 300 Protectors and the Aquatic Falcons.
after he entered, they all sat in the room he talked to them in before.
but this time the whole family was there, it seems that they were interested in hearing his story.
Oberyn: so how was the expedition?
Oberyn said.
Arslan: it was good, I got some good stuff.
Doran: would you mind telling us about it?
Arslan: well, I got 5 still alive dragon eggs.
they all opened their eyes wide in surprise, The Targaryens had 5 dragons when they came to Westeros, if he can hatch them...
Arslan: and the way to hatch them.
the surprise turned into shock, they didn't know what to say, this information could bring an uproar in Westeros if leaked, why is he telling them this.
Arslan: and 20 Valyrian swords.
(Although Valyrian steel blades are scarce and costly, several hundred of them are known to exist in the world, approximately two hundred in Westeros alone. Most of them are swords, but there are a few daggers and axes as well, Essentially they are priceless. They are items of great practical value (akin to a custom made combat pistol costing thousands of dollars today) made from an extremely rare material (less common than gold) that are irreplaceable (no new Valyrian steel swords can be made.)so this is the least he needs to show to shock them to the core if you don't believe me, google it.)
there was no family in all of Westeros that has that many Valerian weapons, just one of them is considered an ancestral sword of a great family, this guy has 20, so you could imagine their expressions right now.
Arslan: and 100 million gold dragons.
their noses are bleeding.
Arslan just waited for them to calm down.
Doran: how does Valyria look?
he then started talking about his journey except for the part of the TRUE DRAGONS, he also talked about the magic book and the 13 weapons (except the dragons part), he changed a little about the trials, and their eyes were widening every second that passes.
why he's telling them you ask? cuz he wants to instill fear in everyone, with the capture of Tyrion war is about to start, he wants to be a force no one wants to fight and everyone wants to ally with to get the most benefits out of it.
after he was done, everyone had their eyes wide open a fly could fly right in.
Doran suddenly changed from shock to resolution, he then turned to his family and said.
Doran: you guys can leave, I want to talk to lord Arslan alone.
and they just left.
after that, he looked at Arslan and said.
Doran: there is something I wanted to talk to you about since the first day you came here.
Arslan nodded.
Arslan: I'm listening
Doran: I wanted to talk to you about my daughter.
Arslan: yes, what about her?
Arslan asked, pretending to be ignorant.
Arslan: "so the look sold it out, I need to get some emotion control classes, I can't let myself get out of control and show anything, especially in this world".
Doran: well, I have always wanted to find someone suitable for Arianne, however, she never liked any of the proposals she got, and I don't want to force her into marriage, I want her to choose her own partner...
Doran: "also politically it will be very beneficial for Dorne if we consider what The Vale now has( money, power, influence, and a monster army, and soon dragons ), but that's beside the point"
Arslan: I understand...
Arslan said, trying to get the words out of Doran's mouth.
Doran: I want to propose a marriage between you and my daughter.
Arslan: did she agree to this?
he said, trying to stop a smile.
Dorn: well, when I asked for her opinion, she said that she wants to go to the Eyrie with you for 2 months so she can spend time with you and get to know you before the marriage. (I read about her, trust me, she is not a shy girl.)
Arslan: I see, well, I will be going back to the Eyrie tomorrow, so...
Doran: I understand, I will tell her to get ready.
they then took me to my room where I will be resting.
THE NEXT MORNING:
as Arslan was looking at his men preparing to leave in front of the city, the Martell family came to say their goodbyes, Arianne also came.
Doran: have a good journey Lord Arslan.
Arslan: thank you.
Oberyn: I will train so next time when we fight, you will not defeat me so easily.
Arslan: we will see about that.
Arslan said with a smile.
just as he turned to Arianne, one of the guards brought her a horse.
Arslan: that won't be necessary, a horse can't keep up, how about you ride Aeolus with me?
she looked at Arslan, then at Aeolus.
she then breaks a beautiful smile.
Arianne: yes, sure.
he then mounts Aeolus and extended his hand to help her, she smiles and takes his hand, meanwhile, all he was thinking was "so soft...", a perverted bastard is what he is.
after she mounted, he looked at Doran and nodded and got a nod back.
he then flew up and launched in the Vale's direction followed by his men to Arianne's joy.
Arslan: is it fun?
Arianne: very much.
he just smiled.
halfway through to the Vale, he got 3 messages from Azreal.
1- lady Catelyn is currently talking to his mother about executing Tyrion.
2- Dreadfort of house Bolton was attacked by 25 berserkers, they were too arrogant to send for help from the "the Falcon Reapers" positioned in Winterfell, and wanting to prove their might thus resulting in them being forced to retreat into their castle which is now surrounded by berserkers.
3- pretty much the same thing with Dunluce Castle of the Greyjoys in the Iron Islands except this time its 30000 drowners, further increasing the reputation of "the order of the Falcon".
well, that's one big coincidence. (IM SITTING RIGHT HERE!!, CAN'T YOU SEE ME??)
after they reached the Eyrie they received an even greater welcome than usual since they were absent for the past 2 months.
ARSLAN POV.
as I landed in front of the castle, I quickly dismounted Aeolus, I then helped Arianne down, and we entered the castle followed by 20 of the Protectors.
3RD PERSON POV:
in the throne room, Arslan's mother was sitting on the throne, and her sister stood beside her, in front of them was Tyrion, at the sides were the nobles and knights of the Vale, dressed even better than in the show since the Vale is much richer and stronger than before.
as Tyrion was talking about his "crimes", Lysa cut him.
Lysa: SILENCE, what do you think you're doing?
Tyrion: confessing my crimes...
he said in an innocent voice.
Catelyn: Lord Tyrion, you are accused of hiring a man to slay my son Bran in his bed.
Tyrion: oh I'm very sorry, I don't know anything about that
Lysa: you've had your little joke, I trust you enjoyed it, Mord.
she called and Mord stepped forward.
Lysa: take him back to the dungeon, but this time find a smaller cell...
she then looked at Tyrion.
Lysa: with a steeper floor.
Tyrion: IS THIS HOW JUSTICE IS DONE IN THE VALE??
he said turning to the nobles.
Tyrion: you accuse me of crimes, I deny them, so you throw me into a cell to freeze and starve...where is the king's justice?
???: I have the same question.
a voice sounds as the doors open only to see the figure of Arslan followed by Arianne and the Protectors who went and surrounded the room.
everyone was quiet, it was Arslan no further elaboration is needed.
Arslan calmly went to the throne where his mother was sitting, she stood up and let him sit.
his mother to his left and Catelyn and Arianne to his right.
Arslan: what is the meaning of having a trial in a lord's throne room without him being there?
he said, looking at the nobles with an irritated expression.
everyone just looked down except Tyrion, do they dare talk back? besides that, isn't he right? what were they thinking?
Arslan turned to his aunt and said.
Arslan: what is LORD Tyrion accused of?
Catelyn: he is accused of hiring a man to slay my son Bran in his bed.
Arslan: I see, do you have any proof of this accusation?
Tyrion: finally, someone that is ACTUALLY trying to get to the bottom of this.
everyone just ignored him.
Catelyn: well, not exactly, but he left Winterfell the same day bran fell from the tower, it's like he was running away, afraid that bran would wake up.
Arslan then turned to Tyrion.
Arslan: what do you have to say about this accusation, Lord Tyrion?
Tyrion: I didn't do it.
Arslan: I see... free lord Tyrion.
everyone looked at Arslan with eyes wide open, even Tyrion himself.
Catelyn: Lord Arslan, but
Arslan raised his hands motioning for her to shut up.
Arslan: there are 3 things I want to say, first, as my spies told me, Lord Tyrion left Winterfell for a personal reason, second, I know who actually tried to kill Brandon.
everyone's eyes widened even more.
Arslan: and finally, third, why do I see that Lord Tyrion is still in chains.
he said the last part with clear anger building up.
a guard quickly went and opened Tyrion's chains.
Tyrion: thank you.
Arslan nodded and said.
Arslan: you are free to go.
Tyrion nodded and left.
Arslan turned to the nobles.
Arslan: you too.
the room quickly emptied.
Arslan, Lysa, Cat, and Arianne and the Protectors are the only ones left.
Catelyn: Lord Arslan, could you please tell me the name of who hurt my son?
Arslan: it was Jaime Lannister.
they all looked surprised.
Arianne: how do you know that?
Arslan: my spies heard him talk about it in king's Landing.
Lysa: you have spies in king's Landing, and are so deep in the palace?
Arslan: I have spies everywhere.
Catelyn: the Lannisters, I will...
Arslan: you will do nothing, what you did is enough.
Cat looked at him, confused about what he means.
Arslan: because of what you did Jaime and his men attacked lord Stark in front of Petyr Bailish's brothel, while lord Stark was fighting Jaime a Lannister soldier attacked him from the back and stabbed him in the leg.
Cat looked grey, she has no color on her face.
Arslan looked at one of the Protectors.
Arslan: escort my aunt to her room and let her rest.
and he did.
his mother then noticed Arianne.
Lysa: who is this young girl?
Arslan: she is Arianne Martell, eldest daughter of Doran Martell, Prince of Dorne, she will be staying with us for the next two months, if all goes well, we are to marry.
Arianne just smiled.
his mother was beyond happy as she heard the last part.
