3rd POV

"I hope you enjoyed the gift, Lord Lannister" Said Domeric as he sipped some wine from his glass, he is in a room talking to Tywin Lannister, who has invited him to the Red Keep.

"Yes, thank you for the gift, Lord Bolton" Tywin replied as he looked seriously at Domeric.

"Well, what would you like to talk to me about?" Domeric asked when he had finished drinking all the wine in the glass.

"I wanted to talk to you about possible Trade Agreements between the Houses Bolton and Lannister, this also involves King's Landing" Tywin replied as he took some wine and drank some.

This was a welcome surprise for Domeric, all of King's Landing is in some ways in control of House Lannister, if you take away the hidden forces of Little Finger and the Spider.

If he gets a slice of this city for himself, that would be extremely great, of course, he'd have to hear Tywin's deal first to decide that.

"The Morgul Steel made by House Bolton fascinates me as it is great for many things, the Houses in Westerlands are the most enthusiastic about buying products involving this steel, so I would like to make the following deal: The House Bolton would sell to the House Lannister the right to sell products made from Morgul Steel in the Westerlands, the House Bolton would produce the Steel and we would buy it, and then we would sell it and split the profit 50% to each one" replied Tywin, he drank some more wine before looking at Domeric again and continue.

"In return, House Lannister will help House Bolton by giving certain benefits: House Bolton would receive help in doing their business in King's Landing, they would also be able to use Lannisport to dock the ships for free without paying tolls, House Bolton sailors would also receive special attention from us, in addition to the merchants who trade overland throughout the Westerlands" Tywin said as he looked at Domeric, waiting for his answer.

Many would think that the deal he offered Domeric was too good, but it's worth mentioning that the demand for Morgul Steel products has been growing a lot, especially in the Westerlands, which has a standing army.

The Nobles of that region more than ever wanted armor made of Morgul Steel customized for their troops, as Southern nobles are the ones who like to show off the most.

And the House Lannister must find a new way to raise money, as their gold mines are exhausted, and Tywin knew the Boltons would be a great financial help, and he was willing to make certain concessions.

Giving a certain portion of King's Landing, which is basically under Lannister rule to House Bolton would be no problem, it would also be beneficial, as Tywin knows that everything Domeric touches turn to gold.

This means that King's Landing can grow somewhat in terms of trade, as it would have more Bolton products for sale, in addition to probably having more Bolton ships with products from other places.

'If only you were born in House Lannister, boy' thought Tywin with a little envy of House Bolton for getting a smart boy like Domeric.

"Lord Lannister, I was willing to sell the rights to sell Morgul Steel products in the Westerlands, but I expect special treatment from House Lannister for everyone involved with my House" Domeric said after some thought, the deal was by no means a bad one. He was willing to hand over the Morgul Steel market to the Lannisters in that region in exchange for these other benefits, there would also be other realms to sell his wares to.

Tywin nodded and said the papers would be done later and a Maester would be present to verify the agreement.

After that Tywin and Domeric talked a little more about business and the places Domeric wanted to buy in King's Landing, which Tywin said he would arrange for him to be able to compare, so they both went their ways after the negotiations ended.

As Domeric was walking through the corridors of Red Keep, a boy with golden hair and deep green eyes, hiding malice and insanity appeared in front of him, it was Joffrey "Baratheon", Crown Prince of the Iron Throne.

"Your Highness" Said Domeric while kneeling to Domeric, while already using Charisma Magic, as he knows it was EXTREMELY necessary for someone crazy like him.

"You must be Lord Bolton my mother spoke of?" Joffrey asked as he looked with some disdain at Domeric.

"Yes, Your Highness, I am" Domeric replied while still with his head down.

"Follow me" Joffrey ordered as he headed in the opposite direction Domeric was heading.

Domeric got up and followed him, he was already prepared to use Charisma Magic at any time on Joffrey.

As they were walking through the corridors, silence took over the two, some maids and guards passed and bowed to Joffrey, soon the two arrived in a room and entered.

"Mom told me that her house used to torture people, is that true?" Joffrey asked as he looked at Domeric, Joffrey sat in a chair while Domeric was standing.

"Yes, Your Highness, it's true" Domeric replied as he had his head down, he had already started to use some Charisma Magic on Joffrey again.

"I want you to tell me about it" Joffrey ordered as he looked intently at Domeric.

Domeric, who understood what this little devil was getting at, started a lecture on torture, talking about different forms of torture, both medieval and modern, which made Joffrey's attention go to the extreme.

This was also a golden opportunity for Domeric, because if he gets what he wants with Joffrey, maybe a "Friendship" between the two can happen.

Of course, this "Friendship" will only be to get benefits from the Crown, this will be quite important for his plans for the creation of the Kingdom of Angmar.

"And that's it, Your Highness" Domeric said after he had finished talking about everything he knew about torture, he even talked about torture involving rats.

Joffrey just had a maniacal smile on his face, he was simply ecstatic, like the true motherfucker he's been since he was little.

"Would you like to know more, Your Highness?" Domeric asked calmly and respectfully while keeping his head down.

"No, you can leave" Joffrey replied while he was in his delirium.

Domeric just bowed slightly and left the room, wanting to go back to the Aquila and get some rest after all that talk to Joffrey.

But fate was not on his side, as he was walking through the corridors of the Red Keep, he found none other than Cersei, with the company.

The company was a girl who was just like her mother, she wore a red dress, had blonde hair, green eyes, and white skin, this girl was Myrcella Baratheon (Lannister).

Also beside her was a boy who had white skin, blond hair, and green eyes, the boy wore green clothes, this was Tommen Baratheon, brother of Joffrey and Myrcella.

"Your Highness" Said Domeric as he bowed to Cersei and the Prince and Princess.

"Ah, Lord Bolton, what a pleasure to see you again" Cersei said while showing her signature smile.

"I think you're done talking to my father, right?" Cersei asked as she raised an eyebrow at Domeric.

"Yes, Your Highness, I have finished talking to Lord Lannister," replied Domeric.

"Would you like to come with us? It would be nice to have your company" Cersei said as she continued to smile.

Domeric had to accept, as it would be disrespectful to the Queen to refuse such an invitation, so he reluctantly followed her and her children.

"Nice to meet you, Lord Bolton, I am Tommen Baratheon" Tommen introduced himself as he tried to follow the noble etiquette he is learning.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness" Domeric said as he lowered his head and bowed to Tommen with a smile on his face.

Domeric had a good impression of Tommen, the boy tried his best to be a good king, but in the end, he left important decisions to Cersei, such as the case involving the Faith of the Seven.

But with him now in King's Landing, he'll stop the Faith of the Seven from becoming strong in the Capitol as much as he can, as the last thing he wants is for some religious idiots to trouble his business again.

"N-Nice to meet you Lord Bolton" Myrcella said shyly.

"Nice to meet you too, Your Highness" Domeric said as he continued with a smile on his face.

Cersei saw that and there was a slight glint in her eyes, she just kept going.

"I have to thank you for the gifts you sent, Lord Bolton, they were just amazing" Cersei said as she slowed a little to stand beside Domeric and look at him.

"Thank you for your kind words, Your Highness" Domeric replied professionally as he continued walking.

Soon the group arrived in the gardens of Red Keep, where they were talking and drinking (Myrcella and Tommen drank tea, courtesy of one of Domeric's gifts).

"Tell me, Lord Bolton, how has your Lands been?" Cersei asked as she sipped from the glass of wine a maid poured.

"It's been great, Your Highness, the Bolton Lands have been developing well" Domeric replied as he sipped wine from another glass that was handed to him.

Cersei nodded and continued drinking wine, what would follow would just be small talk as they drank and ate something the castle servants brought.

After all this, Domeric was finally able to return to Aquila and rest after a long day.

Cersei Pov

After the Bolton boy left, I went after my father, I needed to talk to him.

I'll be honest before I didn't think this boy Domeric would be worthy of my daughter's hand, for he would never marry a child of mine to a Northern Wildling.

But that changed, the boy was a Southern Noble in almost everything, he just wasn't born in the South, besides not following the same religion.

I also learned from my father that rumors are circling about a Cult that is growing in the Bolton Lands, who worship a God called "Sauron".

I wouldn't care too much about it, but since it's about the Lands where the boy Domeric is, I was interested.

It seems that this Cult treats Domeric as a Messiah, someone who will lead people under his leadership to a better future.

What pathetic people, it was probably people loyal to this kid who started propagating these ideas, they're kind of brainwashing the commoners religiously.

I finally found my father with the help of some servants, after I dismissed them, I went to my father.

"Dad, I have something important to say" I said as I looked into my father's eyes.

"Which is?" he asked me while raising an eyebrow.

"I support an engagement between Domeric Bolton and my Daughter" I replied decisively as I looked at him.

Domeric Bolton, you better not let me down and hurt my little lioness in any way, or I'll show you why lions are to be feared.
