Chapter 26 Dragon makes a move

Jon pov

To say that I was surprised by my own coronation would be an understatement, when Stannis sent ravens all across the seven kingdoms about the royal children being bastards born of incest, I didn't think that would lead to me being a king

Just like that the north, the vale and the trident has declared for me, that's more lands than all the other kingdoms, but I can't get swept up by this, Tywin is still in harrenhal and the lannisters control the capital

Stannis called his banners but that won't help him because most of the lords of Dragonstone have already declared for me over the last few years with the Velaryons, they will take Stannis and his family prisoner and hold Dragonstone under my name till I call on them, my 700 ships are slowly coming back to Dragonstone from essos and the narrow sea

I am not even worried about Renly, the man had the strongest host from the start 60,000 men from reach and stromlands, but all he did was hold tourneys in the reach, he didn't even secure Strom's End his seat of power,he did stop the food from reaching the capital but they have storage of grains that will last one or two years

Right now I have 15,000 men from the riverlands, 30,000 from the north and 20,000 from the vale, a total of 65,000 men and not tourney Knights like reach but real battleworn men which Renly or anybody won't dare face in an open field, and thats not even counting the 200 giants who are at the very least worth 100 men each

News of my coronation will soon spread, the blacksmith in Riverrun made a crown just the old Kings of winter, everyone started to call me your grace now Which is hard to get used to,but Robb still calls me brother and I wouldn't have it any other way

Arthur also shaved his beard and no longer goes my Ser Deamon Sand a dornish bastard but once again took his title as the sword of the morning

Arthur even started wearing a kingsgaurd armour with the Targaryen sigil, he had it made from Tobho Mott a year ago without me knowing, it's good to see even when people called me a bastard he never lost faith in me

I gifted him two Valyrian steel swords on officially becoming my kingsgaurd,it took me years to make enough high concentration Valyrian steel for my armour so I can't make such armour for my kingsgaurds but Valyrian steel swords is not hard to do

Right now Arthur is my only kingsgaurd and I will take others when I am actually on the Iron Throne not before, and me and Arthur are more than enough to deal with trouble

As my men are gathered at Riverrun ready to march, I ordered to go straight to harrenhal to get Tywin, the army will completely block harrenhal from all sides

Even though I went to scatter any of the lannisters forces after battle of Green Fork Tywin still managed to get 12,000 men in harrenhal

As Robb and uncle Ned are discussing the war plans with the lords I am thinking about what to do with the Jaime Lannister

On one hand he killed my grandfather but he also saved millions of people in kingslanding, but he also slept with his sister which I don't mind he can do whatever he wants but he also messed the Royal succession and indirectly caused war

The man was mess after he found about my identity, talking about how he was sorry that he couldn't protect Elia and the children, so I left the decision to Arthur about his former brother and the boy he Knighted, for now I made sure that he is treated accordingly to his standing

I am pretty sure even if I let him go free he won't go away, the man is beyond my understanding, but one thing I am sure off that behind all that arrogance and pride is just a boy still running from his demons, the demons that haunt him to this very day

Anyway the lannisters are raising a new host in the West but it doesn't matter, with the riverlands army under Ser Brynden Tully, the blackfish they won't able to invade the riverlands easily and even if they did, I would have Tywin lannister in chains long before that

Tomorrow our forces will march straight to harrenhal, with all the lannisters Bannermen and important prisoners in tow, the army that I am talking to harrenhal is not to fight but watch what I am going to do there

They will see what happens when you anger a dragon,my allies and enemies both will understand what the words fire and blood actually mean,they will see what happens when you go against the dragons
