Arthur Stood there, Watching the Men work as they Hammered the Wood to The Ships, The Ships were Raised High, Using the Makeshift Crane they Made.

'They Should Be Finished Soon. And after they Finish, We will Sail To the Stormlands, And Raganvad shall go to Storms End.'

It is now His time to Move, Everyone has His Turn, Just like in Chess, And the Board has Been Set to His Advantage, And He will not Waste that Advantage.

He turned around, went to His Solar and Took a Pitcher and a Cup. He then went back to the Deck and Walked to the Back of the Ship, There He placed the Pitcher on a Table and Poured Himself a Nice Cup of Wine.

He watched as the Sea Danced Elegantly, The Sounds of the Waves was Music to His Ears, There he thought Silently,

'How did it ever come to this. From Being an Exiled man to becoming a Happy Man with a Beautiful wife and a Kingdom to be Emperor of. What a Lucky Man I Am.'

And now here He was, Fighting in a War, He didn't' Enjoy it, Nor does He want it. To be Honest if he Could Find a way to Achieve His Dream - To Be Remembered - Without Resorting to War, He would do it that Way. But, - There is always a But - But this World is Too Cruel.

This World. Too Cruel.... He wondered if this World would Stay Like that, Cruel, and has No Mercy to Innocents.

If He could Change the Whole World to be Caring, Loving, And Supporting Each Other, Not needing to Send young Men to War, He would. But He is only One Man.

'But Your Dream to Be Remembered For Thousands of Years Sounds Ridiculous and Now you Say your only One Man? All Dreams Sounds Impossible.' A Deeper part of Him Said, And He wondered if It was Right.

"There He Is!! Our Sword Swallower Friend!!"

He turned Around, Seeing the Ugly Face of Calisto, and that Smug Face of Raganvad.

"I Feel Very Honored, My Lord. You have Graced me with your Ugly Face." Arthur Said while Faking a Bow.

"Good, Arthur!! Bow to your Greatly Handsome King!!"

Arthur Just Went to His Cup and Drank His Wine.

"Says the one who Doesn't have Any Wife."

Raganvad Deadpanned.

Hearing the Sentence, Arthur Choked on the Wine He was Drinking, He Fell on the Ground Clutching His Stomach, Laughing Loudly at Calisto.

"If I take a Wife, The Whores of Essos, and Westeros will Weep. And because I am a Gentleman, I will not Cause the Whores of the Whole World to Weep."

"Don't Deny that your Ugly, Calisto. We will still Accept you."

"I Am Not Denying It, Arthur!! Just Because you have Ariana and Raganvad has Ava, Doesn't Mean I won't have a Wife!!"

"HAHAHA!! With your Face!?!? No one will Take you as a Husband!! If you Even Pass to Become a Suitor!! HAHAHAHA!!"

"You'll Only Be Handsome when The Woman's Drunk!! And Even then, You'll only be Average.....For a Pig!! HAHAHA!!"

Raganvad and Arthur Laughed wildly while Clutching their Stomachs, And Arthur was having Difficulties Keeping His Cup Balanced. Even His Kingsguard was Controlling themselves - Which they Failed on Terribly - to not Laugh.

Everyone Acknowledged that Calisto was Ugly. It was a Joke they had Made a Tradition to Keep Harassing Calisto that He's Ugly.

Calisto just Grumbled Silently, Knowing that Every word He says will be used against Him. 'They're Not My Friends.'

They Eventually Calmed Down, Although Occasionally they Will Look at Calisto then Laugh, Which Pissed Off Calisto even More.

"Hey Mudface, You shall Hear your Emperor and get 4 Cups from the Kitchens!"

Calisto Looked at Everyone of them, Seeing that He Couldn't Argue, He Grumbled about Bad Friends then Went to the Kitchens.

"Oh! And also take 5 Pitchers of Wine With you!"

"How the F**k would I Hold all of that!!"

"If you are as Clever as you Brag about, Then you can Find a Way around It!!"

He Grumbled and Went to the Kitchens.

"Haaah, I like the way your Order Him around."

"Hahahaha, Your Becoming a Bully, Raganvad."

"A Bad Influence from you."

"Anyways, Are You Ready? For Storms End, I Mean. We are to Depart Tomorrow, And a Day After that we would be Separated."

"Hah! They should be the One's that should Get Ready. Don't worry, Arthur. I Can Fight a War - And Lead One - As good as You."

"Be Careful, Raganvad. You Know I need you."

"Yeah, Yeah. If I Leave this World you would Cry to Sleep and You Shall Suffer For Eternity with Ruling Rome and Doing Paperwork. Hah! Nobody would Save You from Paperwork if I Die."

*Chuckle*

"Stormyr Is Ready, Just This Ship here would Need to Be Completed." Pointing at the Ship that is Being Worked on by the Men.

"I Would ask About your Choice of Ship Upgrades Though. Only Some Ships are Only Upgraded and Others are Specially Reinforced in their Ram's. Including Stormyr. What's your Plan?"

"Well, First Of all, The Ships that Had their Bows Reinforced is Form my Ships to Ram Straight through the Enemies Bow, Piercing it then Quickly Gaining Momentum to Pierce through Another Ship, While the Upgraded Ships if For Boarding, and Taking the Damage."

It was a Logical Plan, And Arthur won't Question Him Fighting in the Frontline. They were Bot like Leaders. If a Battle is Fought they shall Fight along with their Men and Not watch in the Back. He Respected That.

"Then the Non-Upgraded Ships is the One's who will Fire the Bolts, Catapults, and Arrows. Long Ranged Specialized, So to say. They're the One's that will Surprise our Enemies, Following our usual Naval Tactics."

Calisto Appeared Again, 4 Cups in His Hands and Two Serving Boys following Him, Holding Two Pitchers Each.

"Oh! Calisto, Didn't take you as the Ordering Type."

"That's what She Said."

*COUGH!!*

"Now, Now, You too, What did this Moron Ask You? Did he Order you Around?"

"N-no, Your Highness. We Volunteered."

'They sure Know how to Lie.' Calisto Thought. But in the Instant Arthur Looked at Him, It Felt as though He Looked at His Soul.

"Did. He. Order. You. Around?"

"He-Requested-Us-And-We-Accepted." The Boy Said Instantly, and Instantly He also Looked at the Ground.

"Hahaha, Im Just Joking, You Two can Go Back." Arthur Said, while taking the Pitchers and Placing them on the Table.

After the Two Boys went back to the Kitchens. Arthur's Head Snapped To Calisto, Faster than yo Girl Leaving You.

*COUGH!!*

"You Shall be the First one to get Drunk."

"F**k."

He knew this Would be a Long Day.
