POV of Wilhelm

The Prussian monarch, having finished arranging his image with the faithful of the faith of the seven, had to concentrate on the war, for a while he continued his negotiation with the supreme septon, the Prussian forces were about to break through the last defenses of the city.

Duke Helmuth was leading the Prussian vanguard and was eliminating the last redoubts of resistance for his monarch.

the Prussian tercios were pushing their enemies very easily because the terrain was extremely favorable for a close pike formation, while the defenders could only see with despair that they could do nothing to stop the Prussian advance and were slowly being driven against the walls while at the same time they had to concentrate on keeping their shields up to avoid being victims of the arrows and bolts raining down from the roofs of the houses of the town

although the bulk of the Prussian army was advancing against the red keep, Charles, the grand master of the Teutonic order, was leading his brothers to fight the Targaryen navy in an attempt to take control of as many Westerosis war galleys as possible.

the sailors were a little confused as to what was happening, as no one had warned them what was going on, only that there was a huge commotion in the city.

But their doubts were answered when they saw the shock infantry of the Teutonic order approaching against them, who quickly broke ranks and charged the clueless sailors while they prepared for a training session.

the Teutonic infantry charged violently crashing into the sailors who were not expecting a fight, the bodies of the sailors began to pile up on the dock and on some of the galleys that the Teutons managed to get on before they could lift the wooden planks to get on board to prevent the knights from getting on board.

Lord Velaryon managed to reorganize his sailors and they began to escape to their galleys and quickly pulled up their moorings and escaped the massacre that was occurring on the docks leaving many behind but saving a large part of the Royal Navy.

Charles watched attentively with his eyes fixed on the escaping ships as he withdrew his dagger from the skull of one of the sailors and plunged it into the neck of another sailor.

Of the hundred and fifty galleys that the Targaryen possessed, ninety of these ships managed to escape, while the rest were captured by the Teutonic order.

When Charles finished his mission at the docks, leaving several thousand dead sailors on the docks.

He began to move his men towards the red keep, killing any idiot who tried to block the grand master's path.

The battle lasted a few more minutes when finally the last defenders began to surrender and give up their swords leaving the way clear to reach the red keep.

The duke stood waiting for his monarch, he had surrounded the last fortification while Roon had secured all the subterranean tunnels that could be used to escape the city, the Targaryens were trapped.

The Prussians awaited the return of their monarch to give the order to enter the castle and put an end to the tyrannical rule of King Aerys of House Targaryen.

------------------------------------------------

I had made the most of my time and managed to finish my negotiations with the supreme septon, if he kept his word I had a chance that my deal with lord Arryn would remain almost intact.

Having to lose oldtown to lothar was painful over three hundred thousand people I had lost from my control, the taxes and levies I had lost for that noble's amusement had been costly, but it was more acceptable than I thought, oldtown was sacred ground for the faith of the seven so I couldn't keep it even if I wanted to, I don't want trouble with religious zealots of the faith of the seven.

The Hightower will have enough power with the control of that territory, I must weaken their control of the city so they can't be a threat in the future, I have a couple of ideas, but I will have to consult with my diplomats to make sure that our way of negotiating is correct.

With my men, we continued riding through the streets of the city until we reached the red bastion.

The smell of blood had almost covered the smell of urine in the city, I could try to fix the sewage system, but according to what Aleksanteri said they are the same systems he uses to get information, so probably if we leave the city they will serve for future clandestine operations.

I tried to forget thinking about the smell and continued on my way to the castle.

I found that my men had secured the castle wall and that Helmuth and Roon were waiting for me to assault the last line of defense.

''My king, the honor of this victory is yours, please do the honors,'' said Duke Helmuth.

I drew my new Valyrian steel sword from its sheath.

'Well, it's time to get your hand a bit dirty'.

''FORWARD, let's get this over with'' I shouted and we started to move to the castle.

My bodyguards were the first to enter

We all entered the castle expecting a fanatical defense from the defenders of the Targaryen king, but what we found was that there was a group of golden cloaks that had tied up all the nobles and their knights and there was a smiling man waiting for us to arrive

''I guess, you are the famous mercenary coming from the south... well, I won't keep you waiting any longer, my friends and I consider that is not worth dying fighting for a madman, we offer the surrender of the castle without a fight in exchange for a safety pass to leave the city unharmed'' said Aleksanteri pretending to be Asten.

''You already have most of your men tied up, I don't need you to surrender the castle, you only have just a few dozen men who will be able to fight'' I said answering Aleksanteri

''OH, sure, sure, you are right, but I can sweeten the deal further by delivering valuable information, you will be able to use, I hope this will be enough for you to consider my proposal'' said Aleksanteri smiling while handing me some scrolls.

A knight received the scrolls and handed them to me.

I started to read them and they were blank, there was nothing on them.

'Very clever, he just wants the nobles to see him and not assume he works for me.'

''I see very interesting, I guess we have a deal, you have my word, you and your men can leave the city and no harm will come to you'' I said as I made to read the scrolls.

''Well, if you allow me, I'd better escape.... I mean get out of here as soon as possible, I don't want to disturb you, I suppose you want to enjoy your conquest as much as possible''said Aleksanteri rubbing his hands together while smiling.

''where is the royal family?'', asked Aleksanteri

''Well the queen and princess of Dorne have decided to retire to the island of dragonstone accompanied obviously with all their family two days ago when prince Rhaegar decided to leave the city to face Robert, so I guess you will only find the king, who is in the great hall probably sitting on the iron throne'' said Aleksanteri shrugging his shoulders

'Mission completed, Robert's rule will never be stable and he will always be the usurper, we have chaos guaranteed for years to come'

''The Targaryens have slipped away from our grasp, escape while you still can, before I change my mind'' I said to Aleksanteri.

''I thank you for everything goodbye, let's go boys, leave these idiots, they are now prisoners of the mercenaries'' Aleksanteri said to his men.

The Finn left the castle followed by his men leaving all the nobles and knights tied up so that we could take them as prisoners.

''I was expecting a glorious and arduous combat, to get to the king'' said Charles a little disappointed.

''less blood spilled, we saved losing men, we came out on top'' said Duke Helmuth

''We have to look for the incestuous madman before he tries to do something idiotic and take away our privilege of burying a sword in his stomach'' said Roon rather anxiously

''Right let's not waste any more time, as we must chase Rhaegar's army when we are done we must be at the battle between royalists and rebels'' I told my men

We started walking through the castle and up the stairs which would have been a good place to stop, and the defenders would have caused us some good casualties if it wasn't for Aleksanteri's betrayal.

My men began to search room by room because I had no idea where the great hall was.

In some rooms, we found large groups of servants who were in hiding waiting for all the chaos to pass to come out of their hiding places

We continued our search and I saw Charles coming out of a room without his helmet and with an apple and I kept watching him

''The kitchen my king'' said Charles and took a bite of his apple.

'I don't understand how you have the stomach to eat, being covered in blood and impregnated with the smell of blood.'

''Well we continue searching probably on the upper floor'' I said to the Teutonic knight.

Arriving to the upper floor we found a huge door, that for sure must be the great hall because this one door so big that we have found inside our search among all the rooms of the fortification

My men pushed the door, we were met with a surprise.

The body of a man in a tunic was lying on the floor with a wound in his abdomen.

'This is the tunic reminds me of the wisdoms of the alchemists' guild, this must be the new hand of King Aerys'.

We looked back to the back of the great hall where the iron throne was, sat a blond haired young man playing with his sword that was soaked in blood and he was looking attentively at us.

'Ah.... Jaime Lannister'

I started walking towards him when I saw a body that was dressed in fine silks and velvet and not far away was a crown

''The mad king'' said von Roon

With a wound.... in his back'' said Charles with a mixture of anger and surprise slowly turning his gaze to the royal guard.

''White hair?.... how old will he be'' said von Roon as he gave King Aerys' body a little kick.

''Three hundred?, a little more I think, I am two hundred and fifty-three and I still have no white hair'' said Helmuth also quite interested in the mad king's body

''It's genetic, all Targaryen have those traits, Valyrian traits'' I said, answering the duke's curiosity.

''Albinism then?'', said Roon touching the dead man's hair

''No, it's a platinum blond that almost looks white, look at him, the violet eyes'' said Helmuth also very interested

Charles had put his helmet back on

''My king, permission to kill the traitor'' said Charles touching his mace.

I turned my attention back to the blond haired young man.

''Unfortunately, his father is powerful and we will soon be neighbors, getting bad with him is not an option, no matter how terrible his crime was we can't do anything'' I said to Charles trying to calm him down

''But, but, it's treason, the worst of all, regicide, an unforgivable crime in the eyes of god, just give the order and I'll kill him'' said Charles quite furious

I just turned my head away, saying no

''We can't Charles'' I said to the Teutonic knight.

''Roon, cut off King Aerys' head and have it preserved in a preserver so it won't rot so fast, we'll give it as a gift to Robert'' I said looking at von Roon.

''AXE, FAST'' Roon shouted to our men.

''Charles help me on this'' said Roon trying to shift Charles' attention.

I started walking towards the Lannister.

'Now what the fuck should I do with you, if I clear his name Tywin will he be happy or furious, he probably won't like being indebted to someone.'

As I was thinking what to do, I heard von Roon's axe slash.
