I release a tired sigh and look at her.
"Elaborate."
"Of course, my Azor Ahai."
Can she not call me that?
"Lord R'hllor gave me a vision. This time, it was not a vision of a future or the past. It is a vision of the present. I can see them. A thousand of White Walkers walking through the field of infinite snow."
"I see. Anything else?"
"Yes. Lord R'hllor also showed me what happens when they reach the Wall."
"What? What will happen?"
"The Ice will crumble for no ice can hold the king of cold."
"Even with the runic formation I put on the Wall?"
"Yes. It prevents him from destroying the wall in an instant but it can only hold him for a couple of hours."
I release a tired sigh and lean on the chair. I'm tired of fighting. I hope this is the last thing I need to do.
"I see. How long until they arrive on the wall?"
"Four days."
"Four days, huh? That is rather long for an undead group, but the North is vast and even if you did not need to stop and rest, they still need to go through that massive land. Very well."
I get up from the chair and say.
"I will prepare for the upcoming battle. I will bring Alduin with me. Tomorrow I will go north, see where they are coming from, and map that place. I need some place to make a fort. Even with a dragon, a fort is a must."
"Can I come, O Azor Ahai?"
I look at her for a few seconds and say.
"Very well. We will go tomorrow afternoon."
"Of course. I will be waiting for you."
I nod and walk away from the room. I need to relax for a moment.

"Vy! Come on!"
I smile at her and follow Dany and Rhae through the street of King's Landing. I look around the street and wave back at the people calling my name. This city has changed so much since we took over the city.
The stinky smell has gone and is now replaced with a fresh smell of flowers and trees. The sewer system has been repaired, and we even made a new one. With the help of the people from this city, we manage to create a bigger and newer sewer.
Lunaria's only problem is the lack of manpower. However, King's Landing has many people willing to work hard for a piece of bread every five hours of working. Of course, I'm not that cruel.
I paid them lower than what I usually paid the workers in Lunaria, but I paid them better than what they usually get for their work. It shows when I saw one of them crying when I paid their first salary.
Other than fixing the city's sewage system, I also started fixing the housing of this place. Flea Bottom is a fire hazard. The architect from Lunaria helped me design a large building that could let hundreds of people inside.
We built two of them and let one small family live in one of the rooms. We moved many people from Flea Bottom into this new housing complex. However, only those working for us can live in this place.
That is another reason why many people are willing to work hard labor for us. Not only do they get paid, but they also have a chance to have a relatively nice house.
Now we have a small permanent worker that cleans the sewage system and a group working on improving the road around King's Landing and maintaining it. I want to increase the number of workers, but Bakir told me not to do it because he is afraid there will be no more work for them in the future.
He wants to avoid giving a house to a non-permanent worker. At least, not at the moment.
"Vy!"
I snap from my thoughts and look at Dany waving her hand at me.
"Coming!"
I follow her and arrive in front of a stall that sells some kind of meat.
"You want some, Dany? Rhae? You too?"
"En!"
"Yes, please."
I nod and walk to the stalls. I sigh when I see the people queuing in front of the stall to let me take their spot. Well, at least I don't need to wait. I smile at the people giving me their spot and walk to the stall owner. I can see him nervously greet me.
"G-Good a-afternoon, your highness."
"Good afternoon, my good man. Can I do three of those?"
"O-Of course!"
I can see him quickly take three wooden bowls, pick some meat and vegetables, and pour the sauce. He places all the bowls on the stall, and I place a gold coin next to the bowls.
"Y-Your highness! This is too much!"
"Just take it."
I ignore him and take the bowls to the nearby table. Dany and Rhae walk to me and sit on the opposite side of me. I put the bowl in front of them, take the fork and eat the food.
Hmmm, not bad. The meat is tough, but the flavor compensates for it. The meat is marinated with some kind of sauce. The vegetable gives a subtle crunch, and the sauce he put last gives a small bit of sweetness and fruitiness.
All in all, it is alright.
"How is it, Dany? Rhae?"
"Good. It is good!"
"Yes. Not bad."
"Good."
I nod and continue to eat the food.
"Brother?"
"Hmmm? What is it, Dany?"
"Will you go to the North?"
I look at her in surprise. How did she know about that?
"Yes. I need to take Alduin and care for some problems in the north."
"Is it about the creepy wind from the north?"
"What?"
Creepy wind? Can she feel it as well? I know it gets stronger and stronger every day, but I thought I would be the only one to feel it.
"When we arrive here, Rhae and I feel something coming from the north. It is a creepy wind! It feels cold, but… but… it feels creepy!"
I smile at her explanation and nod.
"Yeah. It is because of that. I need to take care of the source of that creepy wind."
"See, Rhae? I know my brother will take care of it."
Rhae nods and gives me a bright smile.
"Can we come as well?!"
"What? You want to come with me?"
"En! We can help! Silver Wing and Elia will help you!"
I looked at her for a moment, and it was a mistake. She looks at me with those damn teary eyes that she knows I can't reject. I release a tired sigh and say.
"Very well. You can come. However, you need to follow my command and wear all the gear I give you, okay?"
"En! We will be good."
"Yes!"
I smile at them and give them a pat on the head. After that, I get up from the chair and say.
"So, you guys want to see the Dragonpit? That is where Alduin and the others stay."
"Yes!"
"En!"
They quickly eat their food, and I take them to the Dragonpit. While walking to the Dragonpit, I think I must finish one of my projects. Project Dragon Armor must be finished tonight so that I can give them to Rhae and Dany.
And I also need to bring that lunatic with me again. I look forward to his reaction when I tell him he can bring his most destructive bomb on this mission.
