Chapter 83

|Balen Greyjoy - Self-Proclaimed Kraken King|

Everything went to shit.

"Die!"

I swing my sword and kill other people coming at me. My men push back the door and block it with the chair and bed. I look at my brother and say,

"Euron. You need to get out of here."

"What?! And let the Greyjoy die?! I hate you but I love Greyjoy."

I decide to ignore him and continue.

"As much as I hate you, you are our only hope."

"What?"

"The Silence is docked outside of the castle. Take the secret tunnel through that hidden wall."

"What? What are you talking about?! I'm not leaving you! I'm Greyjoy and I'm not afraid of death!"

"EURON! LISTEN!"

I shout at him and grab his shoulder.

"Listen to me, little brother. The reason why I hate you is not because of your personality. I hate you because I envy you."

"What? What are you talking about, brother? Start talking sense!"

"You are more of Greyjoy than me. You raid the enemy without the care of the world. You pillage any village and city as your heart desires. You r*pe anyone you have your eyes on. You do it all without any care for the world just like a Greyjoy should be."

I release him and sigh a little.

"While you do all that, I'll get tied to this throne and do what the mainland does. I become their lap dog who they can order whatever they want."

I look at Euron right in the eyes and say.

"But you are not me. You are the true Greyjoy and I want you to make sure our family continues to live for generations. Make sure our name is known throughout the world."

Euron looks at me for a moment as I hear shouting coming from the door get louder.

"Dammit! Dammit! Dammit! Fine! Fine! I swear on our parents' grave that I will bring the Greyjoy name to a new height! Finally, Greyjoy will be the name that many people fear!"

"Good! Good! Now go."

I watch as Euron runs through the hidden tunnel and his men cover the tunnel with boulders. We wait for a minute before the door to this door gets blasted open by a massive Warhammer, and I can finally see the Stag King.

He was covered in blood, his blood and the blood of my men who were standing in front of him.

"Balon! You dare to rebel against me?! Your king?!"

"Hah! You are no king of mine! I never kneel in front of you!"

My men and I charged forward with our weapons in hand and fought them with all we got. However, it was not enough. We did not have the number and strength to fight the monster in front of us.

The Demon of Trident and the Strongest Knight in Westeros is not the title given without proof.

As I pant on the ground, I smile a little, knowing that Greyjoy will not be gone. Instead, Euron will bring our family name to a new height. I give one last laugh as the Warhammer falls into my head.

|Robert Baratheon - Stag King and King of Seven Kingdoms|

"Take his body and burn them. I don't want anyone named Greyjoy to have a proper burial. Kill every single Drowned Priest you see in this damned place. I don't want them to think they can return to their so-called old way and rebel again. Check every corner of this place and kill any Greyjoy left around, even the children."

"Robert! That is going overboard!"

I look at my long-time friend and brother coming at me with a body covered in blood. He likes to put on the face of an honorable person, but right now, with his body covered in blood and that angry expression, he shows me the infamous Northern Barbarian face that he tries to hide.

"No. That is justice. They are the ones who whisper that bullshit to Balon, saying that he needs to reclaim the old way and see what is happening. So many people died, and Highgarden burned to the ground. Even when I'm not doing this, people will demand me to do this. I don't want the future Greyjoy to think of revenge against me and do something like this stupid once more. We need to get rid of them."

Ned looks at our foster father and sees him shake his head. Seeing him not getting any support, Ned walks away from the room with his men.

Of course, Jon will not agree with Ned because he is the one who is preparing this speech. That old snake is the one talking me out of this scenario. I come and want to kill the Greyjoy because they deserve it for daring to rebel against me, but the rest of it is Jon doing.

I look at my foster father and say,

"I hope you know what you are doing because I just lost the trust of my brother because of you."

"What? You want to put all the blame on me? You want to kill Greyjoy, Robert. Even the children will not be spared, I know you."

"Tch."

I decide to ignore him and walk toward the basement where the Greyjoy store is all of the richest they plunder. Seeing the mountain of gold in front of me, I grin and laugh.

"Hahahahaha! Thank you, Squid! Take all of this and store it inside the ship! Anyone who dares to take them will be killed on the spot! Tell this to the others!"

I look at Jon and say,

"What? You don't want to talk about how I take all of this?"

"And will you obey my word? No. I know you, Robert. Just don't use it all on Alcohol and Whore. I don't want you to die early."

"Hahahahahaha! I will die on the battlefield or in the hand of a whore!"

I laugh loudly and get even louder when I see the Old Lion scowling at me. Ha! Seeing him scowl makes me laugh even harder. Nothing beat pissing off those blond bastards. Now, if only I can kill that white-haired son of whore, I will be the happiest man alive.
