23 Chapter 24:
It's been a month since that date, We've been on 4 dates since then, We've also got a lot closer to each other, But that does not matter now, Today Lord Eon Hunter came back from his hunt, I am now going to the throne room where I will judge the clan chiefs of the mountain clans.
3RD PERSON POV:
As Arslan enters the throne room, All the nobles get up for him, He then proceeds to sit on the throne with his mother and Arya to his left and Arianne to his right, The nobles then return to their seats.
At that moment Lord Eon Hunter enters with a proud look, And he kneels in front of Arslan.
Arslan: How was your hunt Lord Eon Hunter?
Lord Eon Hunter then gets up.
Lord Eon Hunter: It's been great my Lord, We forced the mountain clans to surrender, All the smaller clans submitted but...
Arslan: continue.
Lord Eon Hunter: 10 of the bigger clans surrendered but don't want to swear fealty to you, my lord.
Arslan: And what did you do with them?
Lord Eon Hunter: I brought them here so you could decide what to do with them yourself my lord.
Arslan: Bring them in.
As Arslan said so, The doors opened and 10 Falcon Knights entered escorting 10 bulky men, The knights then forced the men to their knees.
Arslan: Who are they?
Lord Eon Hunter then turned to the 10 men and started introducing them one by one.
Lord Eon Hunter: This is the chief of "The Black Ears Clan", And this one is the chief of "The Burned Men Clan", "The Howlers Clan", "The Milk Snakes Clan", "The Moon Brothers", "The Painted Dogs", "The Redsmiths Clan", "The Sons of the Mist Clan", "The Sons of the Tree Clan", "The Stone Crows Clan".
Arslan smiled and nodded.
Arslan: How many men have we lost?
Arslan asked, Fully knowing the answer.
Lord Eon Hunter: None, My Lord.
The nobles all gasped.
Lord Eon Hunter: Whenever the Falcon Knights enter a battle, It's a total massacre, A one sided battle.
Arslan nodded in satisfaction, While the clan chiefs looked down in shame.
Arslan:Will you swear fealty to me?
Arslan asked the chiefs.
The clan chiefs looked at Arslan with anger and Despise.
The clan chief of The Burned Men: I admit that your men are strong, but we don't serve weak cowards who send their men into battle, While they hide in their extravagant castles.
All the nobles laughed at this, even Arslan and Lysa and Arya and Arianne broke a smile.
Arslan: Do you want to know what I was doing while my men were in battle?
Arslan asked with an amused smile?
The chiefs looked at him with confusion.
Before they could say anything, Arslan pointed at them with his hand, And suddenly thunder came out of his hand and strikes the chiefs.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH"
They cried as the pain took over, That's while he is holding back not to kill them accidentally, When he started learning from the book, He found out that the magic is really strong.
The nobles were not shocked, Everyone already knew that Arslan is learning magic.
After the chiefs calmed down, Arslan asked again.
Arslan: Will you swear fealty to me?
But when he noticed the look of hate on their faces.
Arslan: "This is going nowhere."
Arslan: I will ask one last time, You will swear fealty to me, Right?
He asked, But this time he used Geass on them.
The look of hate disappeared.
All of them: Yes!!
They said at once, Much to the shock of the nobles, Even the ones to his side were Shocked.
Lysa: Arslan, I don't think we should trust their words.
Arslan didn't answer her.
Arslan: Let them go.
The Falcon Knights immediately let go of the chiefs and removed the chains.
The chiefs Knelt on one knee and swore fealty to Arslan under the still surprised eyes of everyone. (SORRY FOR CUTTING THIS PART, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY SAY WHEN THEY WANT TO SWEAR FEALTY IF YOU KNOW OR HAVE SOME IDEAS PLEASE COMMENT).
After they were done.
Arslan: You and all the other mountain clans that submitted before are to create one family, You will decide on your leader and then move into the Eyrie and you will stay here until your castle is built to the south of Runestone, You will send us as many men as you can spare.
The whole audience was surprised that he will let them build their castle but no one dared question his decisions.
The chiefs nodded.
Arslan: you are all excused.
The chiefs left and so did the nobles.
He then turned to his mother.
Arslan; Send for Lord Jon Egen, Tell him to meet me here.
Lysa nodded and left followed by Arya who probably went to train.
When they left Arianne sat beside him.
Arianne: We didn't go out in the last ten days.
She said and he smiled.
Arslan: What do you suggest?
Arianne: You are going to take me out tonight.
Arslan: So it's already decided?
Arianne: Yes, I'm just informing you.
Arslan: Well, If you say so, Do you miss Dorne?
Arianne stayed quiet for a minute.
Arianne: yes... Actually, I do.
Arslan: Do you want to go back?
Arianne smiled.
Arianne: No, I will finish the 2 months first.
As she said that he received a message from Azreal.
Azreal: [Viserys is dead, He was given a crown of gold]
Arslan: [Alright, Keep me updated.]
Arslan: "Its gonna start soon, The game is gonna start soon"
Arianne noticed that Arslan was lost in thought.
Arianne: Is something the matter? You seem lost.
Arslan: No, It's nothing...
Lord Jon Egen: May I come in, My Lord?
Lord Jon Egen asked.
Arslan: Come in.
Lord Jon Egen entered and bowed to Arslan.
Lord Jon Egen: You called upon me, My Lord?
Arslan: Yes, How is the recruiting going?
Lord Jon Egen: It's going well, My Lord, It's about done.
Arslan: How many men do we have?
Lord Jon Egen: About 69000 men, We estimate that we will have 70000 by the end of this week.
Arslan: When the recruiting is done, And the mountain clans send their men, Tell me.
Lord Jon Egen nods.
Arslan: What happened with the Greyjoys And the Boltons?
Lord Jon Egen: When they saw that they are going to be defeated they gave up and reluctantly asked for help.
Arslan nodded in satisfaction, The little brats need to learn their place, He will deal with them later.
Arslan: How are our men doing in Essos?
Lord Jon Egen: The monsters are not as active as they are here yet, Lys was attacked by Harpies, But because they do not specialize in fighting, They immediately sent for help, Our men quickly got there and exterminated the Harpies, there were a lot of the smaller Khalasars that were too arrogant for their own good and ended up dead, The Wing Of The Falcon and The Coming Dawn- Falcons got more than 20 boxes, and they are shipping them here, however non of these boxes was a reward box.
Arslan: Good, Anything else?
Lord Jon Egen: Yes, The camp was attacked by a small Khalasar.
Arslan: Continue, what happened?
Lord Jon Egen: Our men took a defensive position, When the Khalasar saw that they were losing they retreated, And our men sent us a letter asking for orders because it seems the Khalasar is set on attacking again till they win and prove their superiority.
Arslan was starting to get pissed, He sent the soldiers to help their asses but they ended up being attacked.
Arslan: Send them a letter, If anyone dared to take hostile actions against them, They are authorized to attack.
Lord Jon Egen nodded again.
Arslan: One more thing, Do we have any Sculptors in the vale?
Lord Jon Egen looked at him with confusion but answered nonetheless.
Lord Jon Egen: I don't know My Lord, But I don't think so.
Arslan: If we do have someone send him to me, If we don't, Then search for him somewhere else, Understood?
Lord Jon Egen: Yes, My Lord.
Arslan: You are excused then,
Lord Jon Egen nods and leaves.
Arslan then turned to Arianne.
Arslan: Don't we have a Date to go to?
................................................
I READ I REVIEW THAT SAYS AND I QUOTE "90% of the time the author doesn't use uppercase letters in the beginning of sentence and then not completing words afterwards", I HOPE I DID BETTER WITH THE UPPERCASE MATTER THIS CHAPTER, AS FOR NOT COMPLETING WORDS AFTERWARDS, I HOPE SOMEONE WOULD EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT THAT MEANS SO I COULD WRITE BETTER.
if you have any suggestions on how I should write or the story itself, please leave a comment.
