5 of Healing, Ships and Swords

The next day after breakfast I had aunt Saena follow me to the Study.

"I think that we can cure you aunty while there is always a chance for something to go wrong or not to work I am 90% sure that we can fix you p right now".

She looked at me with a shocked expression and tears started trailing down her cheecks as she opened her mouth to speak yet no words came out.

"If you trust me then just nod and close your eyes."

And she did both after a short moment. I fed her some bitter tea which I had prepared beforehand and concentrated on my druidic magic and tried to cast lesser restoration to fix her paralysis. As I concentrated green and golden lights emerged from my hand and slowly flew over to Saena andconverged on her lower back and entered her body.

A short moment later the lights were no longer visible and I poked her leg to which she thrust open her eyes with tears flooding out.

After consoling her and telling her she needs to take it slowly to regain strengh in her legs and that she must still use the wheelchair for many things I had servants take her to her quarters.

Following this I went back to work since I have some backlog that accumelated over the past month I spent mostly the smithy.

Finishing the paper work I went back to enjoyable stuff planning. Since I am already focusing druid early on I could maybe continue doing so.

If I were to buy glass from myr to build greenhouses and then spices and other tropical fruits from Naath, Volantis and the Summer Isles to grow there. Not only would it greatly enhance the lacking cuisine but would also gain me some income if grown to a bigger scale. But before that could be done I would need to gain another level in druid to have acces to the plant growth spell, which would allow me to make an 8h ritual and have plants grow by a year and have their yields doubled. This ritual has a radius of half a mile while also allowing me to choose the areas it works on.

This would also allow me to use the castle gardens as food production in case we were ever under siege, basically giving me infinite food as long as I am willing to invest time.

On the topic of trading, I remember from my last life that the Summer Isles don't have many metals and buy them from traders for more than average, which is very good for me since my House produces some of the finest metalwares and tools.

And so I ordered our entire fleet of 14 Trading ships with another 7 of our 35 Warships to sail towards the Summer Isles. They are to be loded with high quality tools and metal ingots and trade these for spices, and seedlings or seeds for as many spice- fruit and hardwood trees and plants as possible. Additionally they are to set up a trading agreement with locals for metal tools to be traded with gems and hardwood in the future.

I also command 20 of our warships to sail to Myr and order and escort the glass needed for my greenhouses, while this will cost alot of gold dragons but my family is not poor and also I see it as a great investment.

Now there still are 5 months till the lions sack kingslanding which means about 15 months till dany is born. So I can't go to kingslanding yet my arrival could prevent dany being conceived and that would do me no good. Also I don't want to spend more time in that city than I have to. I also should make the royal fleet disappear for a while before I take it over and make them come back over time, so that it would seem that I am building up my navy. To make it more plausible I gave orders to start building more trade ships and also inquire prices for ships at nearby shipyards.

Also getting rid of varys soon and littlefinger after he does his damage are things I should put on my to do list. They will both get in my way and ist better to get rid of them as early as possible for varys that is any moment now while for littlefinger it would be after Eddark dies.

On the topic of him dying I should mark down all my knowledge for Valyrian Steel Weapons and their locations. According to a book written by a Maester there should be 227 Valyrian Steel Weapons, not counting daggers in Westeros. While some were lost, only very few were Mentioned but the ones I could either remember myself or find from books were the following.

+199 Unknown or Lost blades

(As one can see I did invent a few since more than 200 were not named by George. Also I know Dawn is not a Valyrian Blade but it's special enough to be in the same list)

Now the question is where are all those other swords, were they never mentioned cause most of them did truly dissapear/were lost or was it cause a certain someone did not want to invent 200 names for swords and people/houses that used them. I think asking the Citadel for help on that front would be a good choice.

If I remember correctly one of the major Pirates in the stepstones possibly had a V.S. Blade which could also be a good target for the royal fleet and my Houses Warships since I don't want them to be in Harbour when the Storm of Danys birth hits the Crownlands. Even if their is no blade in the Stepstones there should be some treasures and getting rid of pirates is always good both for reputation and make life for my own tradeships easier. If Possible I should try roping in the Velaryon and Celtigar ships so that our 3 Houses still have ships when most Houses in the Crownlands loose theirs.

This would also give me another benefit, since it would be me not Stannis takin Dragonstone I could safe it's Treasures both the gold aswell as the olden Valyrian books and artifacts. Since even if I hand over a dead Viserys and fake Rhaella, I could not be sure what Robert would do with Dragonstone. Him giving it to one of the Valyrian Houses is unlikely and even if Stannis does not take it chances are good he will be granted it either way. Yet with my initerference it would be a big empty castle, in which he wouldn't be welcome by either it's Vassals nor the small folk.
