I am your vassal

"Okay let's make a fresh start, a not ser, Bronn, allow me Introduce myself, I am Raizel Hoare Lord Paramount of God's Eye, Lord of Harrenhal, King of the Lake." Rai start chanting but cut by Belwas.

"It's kind of creepy when you spell all your tittle my lord, like boot licking to yourse..."

Belwas can not finish as he is getting slap by Syrio, "How many times I should remain you Belwas, don't ever cut when our Lord talking, especially in front of outsider."

The giant does not get provoked, "This time your intuition doesn't work fast enough dwarf. This dwarf of dwarf will be our brother, he is no outsider. If our Lord doesn't need him, he will ask you to kill him." Belwas smirk, feeling smarter than Syrio is something precious for the giant. Syrio is shorter than Belwas, but he still taller than Bruce. Syrio around 8 ft, while Bruce told Rai he is 5.9 ft. Bronn look similar in height with the knight.

"My companion was right, I am a man of ambition, my ancestor, Harren the Black, was King of isles and rivers, I too want this position, even beyond." Rai move forward, till he in the sword reach of Bronn.

"I may be young, but I am no naïve nor blind. I need help to reach my goal. I never take companion since I landed in Westeros, the two bigman are from Essos, Bruce is yet reach that position, I want you to join my journey Bronn, you can start as my personal guard." Rai extend his hand.

"I don't want to be impolite Lord Hoare, but what can I get? how many golds we talk about?" Bronn not really sure, he still scares of Syrio and Belwass.

Rai laughs and folds his arms across the chess "I think you rather a scrupulous man Bronn, don't you hear while Tywin shit gold, we Hoare breath Gold, there is a huge gold mine under my castle. the less you get if you serve me will be something like Heddles in at the crossroads where you sellswords tend to spend your spare time there."

Bronn eyes lit up remembering a gossip how all disaster that hit god's eye surrounding had reveal a huge deposit mineral beneath Harrenhal, the castle itself dozen meters, so it is now just like Arryn castle, Eyrie, much harder to siege. Bronn unsheathe his sword, hold each end with his hands than kneels.

"Hereby I pledge my loyalty, live, and death to Lord Raizel Hoare, may his reign go beyond this land and make me richer." Broon looks into Rai eyes from the start, at the end his sentence he smirks, he starts to test the limit of his new lord.

"I got someone much more mischievous as my companion Bronn, I know what joke is. I appreciate strong man, but smart people are fewer in this era, keep learning, for now ser Bruce Wayn will be your superior, he is my personal guard commander."

Rai continue his journey with smile plastered his face all the way till he reaches Kingslanding. Bronn already mix in with his new colleagues, finding the quality of armor and sword he uses, he can't hide his excitement as he always challenges Bruce for duel, bantering him that he lack of good quality equipment in their first encounter.

In the kingslanding they welcome by Davos who departed earlier to pick the special made swan ship for wedding present. Seeing his lord injured, he can't keep calm and fussy, telling tens on guard that he brought along his journey should be with Rai, even, for the first time since the accident on the ship he calls Belwas without ser, even call him sluggish giant. Each time Davos travel he will be guarded by ten men from the first batch army. Davos is smart and all but swordplay not his best trade.

Until they reach their newly acquired house in kingslanding Rai just pretend sleeping and week. Soon when it just him and his companion he explains everything.

"I will never understand and cease to amaze with your magic, or what ever your power is my lord." Davos shock seeing all injured on Rai body are gone.

Rai walk to nearest window and look to outside, seeing a beautiful city "What a pretty, smelly, and bloody place. Our city yet to reach this complicity, but not all thing of Kingslanding should be copy."

"What news you can give me Davos? Rai asks still seeing to the outside.

"All lord paramount already arrived, not many knew about your accident, but King and Lord Tully knew, old Tully even come here in his new Valyrian armor, telling me he wanted to check his most valued vasal. Lord Arryn also come by, he told me King wants to meet you before his wedding. Ah also the Lannister also presented in the port as I am arrived with our beautiful ship." Davos explains.

"Lannister? who? Jaime?" Rai asks.

"No, my lord his father, Lord Tywin. He stoped me and talked about nouveou riche has gold but no taste, our ship is excessively contempt to art and world of shipping."

"Art? ship is art? well I should meet with the lion; I hear he have dwarf as tall as Syrio" Belwas speaks.

"It is true ser Belwas, Mountain is huge man, not as grandeur as you are of course." Davos back to normal, not wanna test his chance with Belwas.

"You sure afraid Belwas a lot, Davos, but keep in your mind, I am our lord sword, I am much sharper than the giant, he may crush you easily, but I can separate your head from your shoulder silently, are you agreeing Belwas I am a dwarf?"

They keep this child fight for a while and then Rai further explain his plan. Until one of guard knock the door and telling them that Hoster Tully just arrived.

As soon as he sees Rai is bedridden, Lord Paramount of Riverrun run to his bedside.

"I am sorry hearing your misfortune Lord Hoare, but it's okay as long as you are alive, sometime boy needs challenge to grow up as a fine man my son" Hoster tries to be a father figure of his richest banner lord, he kneeling to the Rai eye level, behind him his son, Edmure, stand tall but looks shock, maybe he too, afraid of Belwas.

"My lord, thank you for your concern, I have forgotten the pain I receive due to happiness of your visit. Forgive me, as once again I failed to kneel and pledge my loyalty to you." Rai speak weakly, acting as best as he can.

"What the need of kneeling it is out of fashion, I know you are man of action, by giving me this shiny Valyrian armor has gave me face among lord paramount, even the king looks a little jealous, still wanting more of this beauty." Hoster keep smiling from the start of their conversation.

"Tell me son, who got so much nerve to attack you?" Hoster asks.

"I believe you already knew about my circumstances my Lord; it should be my other parent. Back it the castle my men successfully save me from assassination attempts, dozens of assassins just in a month. She must be desperate sending hundred of sellswords this time." Rai acts.

"I am sorry I have no qualms for the iron islands my boy, even Greyjoy yet to kneel to the king. But it could be good news, when the king ride to catch the squid, you could come along to banish that witch" Hoster looks really care of his vassal, even Edmure shows some sorrow face.

Rai nods "I thank you for your concern and advice my Lord, cough... cough" feels tired to act Rai cough to show his visitor his time is end.

When the Tully are gone Rai speaks "Find me palanquin the day after tomorrow Davor, Robert is not a patient type."

"Will do my lord." Davos bow a little that he lefts the room, so do Syrio and Belwas. But Belwas stay in front of the door to guard.
