Chapter 46

"Everything?"

I look at him with one eyebrow raised.

"Aye. Trade Agreement, Military Aid, and other things. As long as your request is not outside the alliance, I will ensure you will get them."

"I see."

I look at him for a few seconds, trying to find a lie on his face. Seeing no lie, I nod my head.

"Very well. Let's make the contract."

|3rd POV|

The Royal Head Healer, Rikos, nods his head and says.

"You are good to go, my lord. While you can't walk for a long period of time, you can walk for a few minutes, ten minutes tops. I suggest you take a walk for at least three minutes to make sure your legs remember how to walk."

Doran nods his head and stands on his own two feet. He smiles brightly as he finally can stand on his own feet. He moves around for a few seconds before looking at Rikos.

"Thank you for healing me, Healer."

"Don't mention it. Thank his majesty instead. He is the one who taught us this knowledge and spell."

"Viserys is the one teaching you?"

"Aye. His highness is the one teaching all the healers in this kingdom. Before coming here, he was known as the White Healer, you know? He has already healed more than a thousand people. Even now, he still heals people who have worse injuries from time to time."

"I see."

Doran did not really understand why Viserys did it. In his eyes, the King should not be among the common folk. They are the most powerful men in the kingdom, and they should not be among the lowest people.

"And that thinking is what makes his majesty different from the other."

"Pardon me?"

"You say it out loud."

"Am I?"

"Aye. Anyway, his majesty is different from other kings. He is kind and willing to stand among us, the common folk. He truly cares for them, and in return, the people care for their king. Not many people are willing to die for their king. Please don't say something about it being their duty, my lord. If given a choice between their life and the life of their king, they will choose their own life."

Rikos smiles a little before continuing.

"However, the people of Lunaria will gladly give their life for their king. He is the one who gives us freedom, and he is the one that makes our life comfortable. It is not our duty, the king even says it himself, but we will do it anyway because that is the right thing to do for us."

Doran looks at the healer and nods his head.

"I guess I can understand why you guys are willing to give your life for him. He is not a king because of the title. He is a king because he earned it. He proves himself as a capable king by giving you guys freedom and improving your life."

"Not only that, but he is also kind. He did not see himself as our king. He sees himself as the head of our family. He sees himself as a father to our big family, and as a father, it is his duty to protect us and make sure we grow."

"Father, huh?"

Doran looks out the window and releases a sigh. He really needs to think about his rule as the ruler of Dorne.

"Anyway, thank you for healing me, Healer."

"Don't mention it. You can take a walk for ten minutes tops, but you need to use your wheelchair once again. You can walk again after an hour of rest. Please come back here tonight. I will give you the potion needed for your recovery."

"I will remember it."

"Good. then you can get back."

Doran nods his head and walks out of the room with his wheelchair in his hand instead of him in the wheelchair. When he gets out of the room, he can see his brother and his consort walk toward him.

"Brother! You can walk!"

"Aye. The healer can heal me. Sadly, I can only walk for ten minutes for now. However, he said that I could walk normally after a few days. I still need to drink my medicine, though."

"No matter! You can finally walk after a long time! Come! We should celebrate this!"

"Ah, before that. We should talk about our future. Come. We will talk in my chamber."

~A few minutes later~

"So! What do you want to talk about, brother?"

"Are you listening to the alliance we made with Viserys?"

"Aye, I hear it. To bind our alliance, you will give your daughter to Viserys, but he did not want to force her to marry him. Because of this, you will send her to live here to get close to Viserys. Dorne and Lunaria will do an open trade and full military alliance."

"Good. It looks like you did not only play around. With the alliance, we can finally get our revenge."

"Oh? And how do we do that? Do we attack them directly? I don't think Viserys is willing to do that even when we are an ally."

"No. We will not attack them directly. We will attack their money."

"Money? Are you losing your mind? As much as it pains me to say it, Lannister has too much money for us to hurt them. They have many mountains filled with gold. We cannot hurt them because they shit money."

"And that is where you are wrong, my dear brother. Did you know that their mountains start to get depleted?"

Oberyn looks at his brother with a shocked expression.

"Pardon me? Their gold is depleted?"

"Aye. Their mountain starts to run dry. My spy in there told me the Old Lion tried his hardest to cover this news, but the news started to spread with too many mountains getting depleted. Currently, he tries to make sure the news looks like a bad rumor, but I know the truth."

"Hmmm, their gold starts to run dry, but they still have a lot of gold that will last them for a hundred years."

"Not if the crown keeps asking for money."

"Huh? Just tell me already, brother. I know that I'm not as smart as you."

Doran takes a sip of his wine and smiles at Oberyn.

"Brother, do you know the new poison that my dear wife found from her experiment?"

"The one that kills any plant it touches? What? Do you want to poison Tywin? It will be hard, brother, I already tried it, and my agent got caught by his guard. There is also the problem that said poison is not dangerous to humans."

"Ah, here is where you are wrong, brother. I did not want to kill Tywin. I wanted him to suffer. We will use that poison not to kill Tywin but rather to kill the plant in the West and the Crownland. We will poison the water they use to water their plants and watch as their food gets destroyed. I will ask Viserys to ask Braavos to increase their food prices that go to the West."

"Oh? Ohhh! I see. We will make sure they cannot have food grown in their land and depend on the other kingdom for food. They will spend more and more money. Slowly but surely, their money will run out."

"That's right. It will take a long time, but I want to make sure Tywin will cry in despair."

Oberyn takes his glass of wine and raises it.

"To our revenge!"

"To our revenge!"
