Menique walked quickly through the corridors, good information came to him, luckily, much faster than he expected.
If things went well, he might even gain the king's trust.
"I am the guardian of the valley, I must meet with the king urgently," he said to the men guarding the entrance to the room.
They nodded and banged on the door.
Menique passed by it, he saw the king sitting on his throne, his sister Arya the princess was with the queen attentively watching the little prince play with some wooden dolls.
"Lord Baelish," Robb said.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to bother you, but a Bravos informant sent me crucial information," he said.
Robb blinked.
"So important that you couldn't wait for tomorrow's meeting?" Robb asked.
"I'm afraid so," he said.
"Tell me?" he asked.
Menique turned to see the queen with Arya.
"It's okay, they're used to bad news," he said ironically.
"Doran Martell has hired an assassin against you," he said.
Robb looked up in surprise.
"Martell? There is no war against them " muttered the king of the north.
Menique nodded.
"His motives are not clear, but I presume it is to bring chaos, he clearly knows or suspects Valyria's intervention and that his death would bring...Chaos, to the kingdoms, enough chaos to use Valyria for his own purposes" said Menique.
"What murderers?" Arya asked.
"Men without names are named," he said.
Arya cursed.
"Do you know them?" He asked surprised.
"I have crossed them...It's bad Robb" she said.
"Thank you for the information Lord Baelish…we will take it from here," Robb told him.
Menique knelt and left the place.
Outside the room, he smiled.
He wasn't sure at first about informing Robb.
If he fell, that would also be a good thing.
But he took a gamble and it turned out well.
Arya Stark knows them.
Which means, she can stop them.
And the king is indebted to him.
"A good day," he whispered.
XXXXXXXXXX
Robb watched the man leave and sighed.
"How bad is it? "he asked his sister.
"Pretty bad," she admitted.
"You better go back to Winterfell," Robb said to Talisa.
"No, you go, they want to kill you," she clarified.
"Nobody better leave, the faceless men are in all the kingdoms from here to Assai, it was lucky that Menique found out, I don't know how he found out, they are clever enough to treat contracts with extreme care," she said.
"Any plan?" he asked.
"You stay calm and let your sister take care of everything," Arya told him as if he were a little child.
XXXXXXXXXX
The servant died quickly.
The woman took her face.
Something simple, the king of the north was having dinner.
His dessert would be poisoned.
She went to the kitchen.
She took what the cook gave her and she headed to the dining room.
"Nice face," she heard.
She turned and saw Princess Arya.
"Excuse me? Princess Arya?" she asked.
Arya smiled.
"I see, a new one... haven't your bosses told you about me?" she asked.
"My bosses?" the maid asked.
"The god with many faces, he has not named my brother," she told him.
The maid was surprised by this and put the food bowl in front of her just to stop a knife that Arya threw.
"Not bad, for a beginner...But you should know...There is no escape for you" Arya whispered.
The faceless woman lost her surprise and looked at her coldly.
"How did you know?" she whispered.
"You're not the only one who trains with them, besides...There are many ghosts in this castle" Arya whispered.
"Chameleon," Arya said.
The woman blinked when she saw that Arya was gone.
"What happened?" she whispered.
To then feel a blow to her stomach that threw her.
She got up quickly and started using a kitchen knife ahead, trying to hit Arya.
"Darkwave," the girl heard from behind.
She turned to see how a black tide came out of the floor and hit her.
Arya Stark appeared out of nowhere.
She attacked her, but Arya disappeared before the blow, and the assassin fell.
She looked and saw that Arya had cloned herself, now there were two of her looking at her.
She realized that she was being poisoned with some kind of mind-altering drug.
"Damn," she whispered, trying to escape.
But she noticed that the walls were smaller, narrower, she couldn't get out.
"WHAT IS HAPPENING!"She screamed desperately.
Arya smiled.
She didn't know what the girl saw, the dark wave damaged and confused people, it was the first time she had tried it.
"interesting," she said.
"Bleeding," she muttered.
The woman screamed.
"Do you want me to stop?" Arya asked.
The woman kept seeing several Aryas, everything was falling on top of her as if the room was getting smaller and smaller.
"Yes," she begged.
"Tell me who sent you? Who paid? " she whispered.
The girl cursed.
"I can't," she told her.
"Fear," Arya whispered.
The girl fell to the ground cowering, holding onto her legs.
"Please," she whispered.
"Tell me who sent you? Who paid? And everything will end " she promised.
The woman stayed still for a few moments.
"Martell…Doran Martell," she whispered.
Arya nodded and cut her throat.
A light illuminated her eyes, the girl was in the white room, and she went to the computer.
{Congratulations you have gained a title!
You have earned the title Master Assassin and leveled up!
You have five skill points to spend.}
The girl sighed when she saw that she couldn't raise any of her skills. And she left the white room.
"You're crazy," she heard and she saw the dog in the corner looking at everything.
"You were here...Ok, be a good dog and take out the trash," she ordered.
"Bitch," he told her.
Arya ignored him and left for Robb.
"Well?" he asked.
"Everything ready...She confessed, Menique told the truth" she said.
"I see...Are you sure it's only one? "he asked.
"That is how they work," she said.
Robb nodded.
XXXXXXXXXX
Jon looked out the window.
They heard a knock on the door.
Gray Worm entered with a letter.
'Dear Jon
I hope you're well, unfortunately, I have bad news.
I had a run-in with an assassin, don't be afraid, Arya took care of her.
But she was able to question her, she is a faceless woman or a man with a feminine face,
I don't know how to call them.
The contract was paid for by Doran Martell, I don't really understand his motivations but we have clear evidence that he ordered my murder, declaring himself an enemy of the North.
I wanted to inform you, because you are closer, and I'm busy with the Lannisters, I have all my resources strung tight.
I have spoken with my advisors, and they agreed that the alliance with Valyria, be it already military grade, in letting Valyria take charge of Dorne directly, while we drive the west.
Of course, as you well know, a reward should be given, to help us militarily, especially against an entire kingdom. After negotiating, it was decided to support Valyria in their Policy.
Defeat the Martells, take Dorne, and the north and all the allied kingdoms, will consider Dorne after the war territories of Valyria.
With love
Robb Stark'
"Shit," he whispered.
"Gray Worm, arrest Prince Quentyn and his companions," he whispered.
The Unsullied left the place, it took half an hour but Jon waited when he saw her enter.
Sansa almost destroyed the door.
"What are you thinking?" Sansa shouted.
The boy didn't flinch. He handed her Robb's letter.
"What is this? Why won't you answer me?" she demanded.
"Read it " Jon ordered.
The girl reluctantly took it and read it.
When she finished it fell out of her hands.
"No," she whispered.
"I'm sorry Sansa"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Why do they have us here? " One of the boys said.
"We are guests, this is no way to treat us," Jon heard as he went down the stairs.
"Your majesty" they heard and saw the king of Valyria arrive.
"His Majesty, what is happening?" Quentyn asked.
He noticed that Sansa was not with him.
"I'm sorry for the inconvenience prince...But your father Doran Martell has hired an assassin to take the life of King Robb Stark," Jon explained.
The prince looked at him with horror.
"What? Lady Sansa's brother?" he whispered.
His colleagues didn't know what to say.
"Unfortunately for our alliance, now Dorne is at war against the North and Valyria...I can assure you that you will not be here permanently, rooms are being prepared for you, as lords, and royalty of Dorne, we owe you something better than the dungeon, unfortunately until the war is finished, just a couple of days, you will have to spend them here, don't be afraid, I am not going to hurt you in any way, you will be well treated " Jon said.
"And Dorne?" Quentyn asked.
Jon sighed.
"I promise you that I will be as pious as possible, but by the time it is all over, Dorne and his territories will be parts of Valyria," he said.
"We have a saying in my house, Never bent, Never broken," Quentyn told him.
Jon nodded.
"I hear you...Unfortunately, prince, I cannot forgive anyone who attacks my family, much less when they also approach my sister," he told him.
Quentyn paled.
"I didn't know anything about this," he promised.
Jon nodded.
"I believe you prince... Unfortunately... There is no way to stop the war, now that an attack against the king, the prince, and the queen of the north, you know, Sansa's brother, sister-in-law, and nephew, was paid for by your father"
[T/N: Well...that was interesting, this chapter has shown how strong Arya is compared to other assassins, though it was a beginner, it also started up some more drama, probably another conquering arc. Damn, I want to do the next chapter right now, but I have plans I need to follow. Hopefully, the Patreons don't flog me. If you like this chapter then leave a comment, write a review, and drop some stones. If you want to read a few advanced chapters then check out the P@treon or the Ko-fi.
