21 Chapter 22

before mother could say anything.

me: please take Arianne to rest, and send for the lords, tell them to meet me at the meeting room, we have some planning to do.

she nodded and took Arianne away.

The commander of "The Falcon Knights" and commander of "the Falcon Reapers" entered.

both commanders: my lord.

they said bowing.

me: tell me all that happened while I was in Valyria.

The commander of "The Falcon Knights": my lord, the attacks are getting more fierce, just this week we were attacked 4 times, its nothing we can't handle tho.

I nodded.

commander of "the Falcon Reapers": my lord, as the commander said, the attacks are getting worse, although it's not hard to defend against them, the attacks are happening in multiple places at once, we can't spread to all of Westeros with our numbers even with the assistance of "The Coming Dawn- Falcons".

Arslan: I see, I will talk to the lords about this and see what could be done, and you are not to send assistance to the Boltons and the Geyjoys till they ask for it, understood?

they nod.

Arslan: you are excused.

after they left, I also get up and leave the room followed by the Protectors.

as I'm walking, everyone who sees me bows to me.

I opened the door to the meeting room, and to my surprise, all the lords are already here.

me: well you are efficient.

I say as I sit in my seat while the Protectors went to their positions.

Lady Anya Waynwood: yes we came the moment we heard about you coming back.

me: alright, let's start the meeting then.

they all nod.

me: well first, let's talk about what we gained from this expedition.

Lord Yohn Royce: yes, it's very hard to believe that someone actually reached Valyria after centuries of fails.

wee, true.

me: anyway, we gained 50 dragon eggs.

they all nodded in approval.

Lord Lyonel Corbray: we could sell them, they will bring a lot of money.

me: and the way to hatch them...

the same reaction as the Martells, just graver because it's 50.

Lord Jon Lynderly: yes if we could hatch them, it will be a very good addition to our army.

Lord Eon Hunter: however, Lord Arslan has white hair, he brought a Martell for future marriage, if we have a dragon, the king will think we are planning to do something.

me: true, that is why we will leave the dragon eggs until we have the chance, and if we didn't, our future generations will.

Lord Jon Egen: agreed, sooner or later these dragons will come to use.

and we all nodded in agreement.

me: we also got more than 400 million gold dragons.

all of the lords: WHAT!!??

I just smiled, as they tried to control themselves.

Lord Yohn Royce: my lord, that is a lot of money.

Lady Anya Waynwood: the Crown owes about two million Gold Dragons to the Iron Bank, and we have 400 million?

me: correct, but the outside world will know that we have 100 million, am I understood?

they nodded.

me: AND, we have 40000 Valyrian swords.

...

I just waited for them to get themselves back together.

Lord Jon Lynderly: my lord, if this number is known, the Value of Valyrian swords will fall.

me: that is true, that is why they will know that we only have 20.

Lord Eon Hunter: that is understandable.

me: but that is not the most important thing that we got.

"what is more important than 50 dragons, 400 million gold dragons, and 40000 Valyrian swords?", is what I understood from their looks.

I then told them about the trials, after changing somethings.

me: and when I finally entered the treasury, I found 14 things.

they looked at me with anticipation.

me: the first is a magic book, whoever masters it can control and create thunder, but sadly it can only be learned by one person.

even after hearing that only one person can learn it, they were all very excited about such a thing.

Lord Jon Egen: this is very good, if you could master it, my lord, it will bring the vale to a whole new level of power.

i just smiled.

me: im still not done.

the anticipation is back.

me: do you remember how I told you that these boxes can only be broken using magic Palladium steel?

Lord Jon Egen: yes?...

me: well I got 13 weapons of that steel.

Lord Eon Hunter: so we can finally break it and see what kind of rewards we will get? (GIVE ME SUGGESTIONS IN THE COMMENTS, NOW.)

they were excited.

me: yes, but more importantly, these weapons have abilities.

Lord Jon Lynderly: abilities?

me: yes, every one of these weapons has two abilities, one hostile, and the other friendly, which one works when used depends on the user's intent.

they were surprised.

Lady Anya Waynwood: abilities like what?

me: well, like this one.

I say as I take my dagger from its sheath and caressing it with my hands.

they all looked at the beautiful blade.

me: this good boy here, if I intend to, it can have a healing effect and heal any kind of disease or sickness, even mental ones.

they admired the weapon even more as I said so.

me: and if I intend to, whoever is cut or stabbed by this blade will feel that moment he was cut like a million years, and in this million years he will feel the dagger slowly cutting him but in reality, it was only a second ( like if he used it on Baelish, and that is what he intend to do, the second that Petyr was cut, he will feel like the dagger was slowly cutting him for a million years, scary right? )

the admiration turned into terror ad they backed away.

I put away the Dagger and took the sword, I call this bad boy "Black Reaper".

me: if I intend to, this bad boy can suck the life energy of the enemy, leaving him like a dried corpse.

they didn't have time to admire this one.

me: on the other hand, if I intend to, it can grant life energy, prolonging one's life.

they loved the idea of prolonging life.

I put the sword down and turned to one of the protectors and nodded.

the guards then brought 4 spears and two bows.

he put them on the table in front of me and left.

the lords looked at the weapons in curiosity, they could see that the weapon was made of magic Palludium steel.

me: these weapons are for you, you are to figure out what every weapon does, they will from now on belong to your families, understood??

in unison: yes, my lord.

I need to keep my lords loyal to me, I only want to use Geass when necessary.

I pick up a spear.

me: this is for "House Royce".

I said as I passed it to Lord Yohn Royce with two hands, like the treasure it is.

Lord Yohn Royce took it and bowed to me.

Lord Yohn Royce: thank you for this gift, my lord.

I nodded then picked the second spear.

me: this is for "House Corboray".

I said, handing it to Lord Lyonel Corbray.

Lord Lyonel Corbray bowed to me.

Lord Lyonel Corbray: thank you, my lord.

I nodded then picked the third spear.

me: this is for "House Lynderly"

I gave it to Lord Jon Lynderly.

he also bowed to me.

Lord Jon Lynderly: House Lynderly appreciates this gift you bestowed upon us, my lord.

me: this is for "House Egen".

I said as I gave the last spear of the four to Lord Jon Egen.

Lord Jon Egen: many thanks, my lord.

he said while bowing.

I picked the first bow.

me: for "House Waynwood"

Lady Anya Waynwood took the bow and bowed.

me: and finally for "House Hunter".

I said giving the last bow to Lord Eon Hunter.

after he bowed, I sit down and say.

me: Lord Yohn Royce why don't you give you weapon a swing.

although confused, he got up and swung his spear, and to his shock, a strike of wind escaped.

I then turned to Lady Anya Waynwood.

me: Lady Anya Waynwood. why don't you shoot from your bow?

still shocked at what she saw from the spear, she aimed with the bow only for an arrow to materialize, when she shot, the arrow disappeared after hitting its target, to add to their shock.

they all look at me for an explanation.

me: they can do that, oh, by the way, the weapon will only work for who i gave it to.

they nodded, after all this, that's not the weirdest thing.

me: now, let's get to the serious matters.

they put away their treasures and turned serious.

me: everyone knows that we have a military that is not to be messed with right?

they nodded.

me: I want to show them our money too.

Lady Anya Waynwood: and how do you intend to that, my lord?

me: we will create a bank.

Lord Yohn Royce: why? my lord.

me: for prestige.

Lord Lyonel Corbray: yes, Lord Arslan is right, just like the iron bank, we will have a lot of prestige, and people will know of our money, and with our military force, I don't think anyone will want to mess with us.

me: correct, it will be called the "Falcon Bank".

they nodded.

me: Lady Anya Waynwood, i want you to be the head of this Bank, understood?

Lady Anya Waynwood: yes. thank you for trusting me with this task, my lord.

me: now for the next problem, we need more men in our army, it seems 30000 is not enough to cover all of WESTEROS and it seems that monsters started appearing in ESSOS too. (i found this plot hole of not mentioning Essos at all in the monster problem, so monsters will just start appearing in Essos.) so what do you suggest?

they stayed quiet for a minute before.

Lord Eon Hunter: my lord, how about the mountain clans? they aren't having any problems with the monsters because we exterminated all those in the Vail and didn't let any of them enter, so they should still have a lot of strong men, what if we force them into submission, that would be a great addition to our army.

Lord Jon Egen: agreed, and with the money we have, we could easily buy the Unsullied and recruit more men from the Vale.

me: good, we will do that, Lord Eon Hunter you will take 3000 men from Falcon Knights and force the mountain clans into submission, try to kill as little as possible, and bring me their leaders, I want to talk to them (GEASS!!!)

Lord Eon: thank you for your trust, my lord.

I nodded and then turned to Lord Jon Egen.

me: Lord Jon Egen, I want you to start recruiting as many men as possible.

Lord Jon Egen: yes, my lord.

me: as for the unsullied, I will go there myself in two months after training in magic, I want you to send 2500 men from "the Falcon Reapers" and 5000 men from "the Coming Dawn- Falcons" and 250 men from "the Wings of the Falcon" to Essos, have them create a camp in the middle of the continent (what is know of it and shown in the show), "the Falcon Reapers" are to send help fo those who ask for it, the men from "the Wings of the Falcon" are to search for the locations of the boxes, and "the Coming Dawn- Falcons" are to attack, kill the monsters and take the boxes, understood?

they nod.

me: alright bring in the box, let's see what we got.

.....................................................................................................

TELL ME WHAT REWARDS DO YOU THINK HE WILL GET FROM THE BOX.

DO YOU THINK HE SHOULD GO ON DATE WITH ARIANNE IN HIS FREE TIME?
