283 AC (Flash back)

kingslanding one week after the death of varys the spider. inside the chamber of hand of the kings office. currently occupied by Lord John Arryn}

(Mc's POV )

Knock knock...

"Enter... it's open." Lord Arryns voice came from inside.

"Sorry to disturb you at this hour my Lord."

After seeing me he put down his paperwork and sighed.

"No need to apologize lad. I needed a break anyway. So what is it this time?, Your having problem with some of my countrymen breaking the law, Mr acting master of law ?" John Arryn asked.

" Hehe....No nothing of that sort My Lord hand, I have something in mind that want to tell you, I also think that it might not work but it wouldn't be very hurt to try...!" I quipped back.

He looked curious " And that is ... wait ! Before you told me what that is , I want to ask you first."

"Yes, please go ahead."

"let me guess, you found another huge amount of wildfire stash in somewhere around the city?"

"No... my Lord, every single barrel of that piss is already taken care of. I assure you."

" And I believe you lad. no need to worry." Lord Arryn smiled at my frustrations.

"Then the next guess is that you found another secret tunnels in the Redkeep?"

"No, my Lord."

" No ? Then you don't need tell me and take your leave, If it's something that will stop my already weakened heart.... then I don't want to hear it."

What the hell old man ! I'm not came here to give you heartattack....!!

" No, my Lord it's not that serious of an issue. But what I'm about to tell you is surely shock you to the core." I answered him with a much bigger coolness that I could mastered. And tried very hard not to laugh. And his eyes just shoot open, And by the looks of it, it seems he's preparing for my words, as if I'm truly going tell him something very shocking.

" I just want my Lord to write a letter to Queen Rehalle for her surrender."

The elderly Lord looks first annoyed, then surprised and finally deeply annoyed again. Ha, take that you nosey cunt, I mentally crackle. Distracting him from something I really shouldn't be doing by throwing an even greater problem at him had been a spur of the moment thing but it felt right at the moment. Clearing up words and throwing it back is fun. "grand theft Jokes" would be overlooked in the ensuing political fighting. Well, I could hope, yes?

John narrowed his eyes and looked very serious for the moment, "And why do you believe that she would just surrender her kingdom? if she truly values her childrens life then she'll never take that option."

"Then what other options do she have right now my Lord? We have the support of five kingdoms at our side six if you count the iron islands. And she has none."

" And why is crownland, Reach and Dorne is not counted as her allies?"

" The crownland is too much devastated my Lord. The lords of Crownlands have stripped their land bare, all most every able bodied men from their lands joined the loyalist army . And all those men died in the battle of Bell's and trident respectively. And the women's they left at home were starving. Thus a lot of those women's are coming to this city for employment. T They're basically whoring themselves. You may have information through your informates. But I have personally witnessed their suffering. This might a good thing for our army's. But a year later we'll be having at least hundred thousands bastards running around the city."

"Don't.... you don't need to explain it to me about bastard problem... Because your not helping it with reducing it's numbers either." Lord Arryn stopped me for some reason.

" Pardon me ....my Lord what do mean...?"

" Gods...!! Alan you think we are all fools ?That we don't know what you do with all those womens in your room ?" Then he stopped for a moment.

" The entire castle knows about it. And you knocked out at least dozen in just a span of Two months ! And I fear if Robert gets those ideas.. oh Gods. At least Ned is turned out a better son."

" Ahm... anyway. The crownland is too much damaged to support anyone. And Dorne is not a threat. They are too distant. And as long as we have Elia Martell in the capital. Doran Martell won't be able to make any funny move."

" And The Reach is in similar situations as well. They also lost Men in the Trident, Ashford, Tumbleton. And they also took a much bigger hit by the Ironborns. It's also true that they somehow drove them back to the Sea. But the damage they received is quite high. And they at least heard that Tywin Lannister joined the rebel banner. And an Westerland host of army and navy is going land on their shores. Mace Tyrell and his Lords are currently, I'm sure they are having a turmoil in their camp about what to do. They surely knows that one's the Lannister starts their attack they will be causing much more damage then the Ironborns. And House Hightower and House Redwyne will be the first one to vote to return to The Reach and defend their respective territory."

"It's still not enough. I wouldn't believe a piece of paper that I received from a bird in this situations, So why would she?"

"I'm sure she will able to recognize your handwriting. But I don't know if she will do , what we are expecting."

"Then why bother ? it will be just another waste of my time...!" lord Arryn sighed.

"Please my Lord.. Writing some later isn't that difficult..!" I still insisted.

I still understand that he's slowly loosing his patients...

" That's not the point. Even if i write a latter to Queen Rehalle for her surrender, She'll not. A letter is not enough to convince her. And you also understand that how much of paper a single Bird can Carry."

" I understand" I replied to him.

" Do you ? if you really do , then we would not have this conversation to began with." it's seems his actually loosing his cool. "It's better to send a messenger instead. A messenger is much better than a piece of paper carried by Bird." the old Lord sighed.

Then why didn't you did that you old fuck ? is the question I liked to ask. But he answering that anyway.

" I will send a official messenger after Robert arrives at kingslanding."

" I still see no reason to not send a early message to Dragonstone my Lord. It's not like we can't send multiple Reven." I argued back If he refused then I'll take my leave.

" Alright....fine...!!! Your just as stubborn as Robert. And I just realized that, writing letters and reviewing documents are the only things I do these days. What you have anything specific for me to write?"

I could not hide the big smile on face..

" Yes ofcourse my Lord. I do, Currently she doesn't have much of options right now. Her allies The Lord from Reach is in trouble as well. the Lannister fleet is threatening their Coastal territory. And they also have their own domestic problem as well."

" The Lannister fleet I'm well aware. what are the domestic problem?"

"Yes my Lord. The fact is not all the lord from the Reach took up arms against us. Their are few of them who stood neutral. They can be recruited to our cause as well."

"Hmm..a fair point." Lord Arryn nodded.

" And also Dorne won't make any funny move. As long as we have Elia Martell alive. So all Queen Rehalle's currently have is the Targaryen nevy. And handful of loyal Men. And those handful of loyal Men can be turned against her as well."

" How might I ask? you just said their loyal Men." John Arryn asked . it seems his amused by my analytical breakthrough.

" Well, The men that's currently under her command also have family members inside this city. In all crownland. If we threaten them with their family I'm sure those troops will surely turned against her." after finished my answer John Arryns eyes seems like it will poop out.

" Alan... by the Gods.. what happened to you? Using one Lord against another, Taking hostage and threatening their family to turn on their sworn Queen? You spoke something only Tywin Lannister can speak.! is it staying in the Kingslanding corrupted you?"

Oh shit I messed up .... Damnit I didn't mean it like that...

" No... no no my Lord .. I I just said that so you that you use it to write an effective letter to scare the Targaryen queen. we don't have to do it. it's pure evill I know that as well." I stammer in my speech.

"Hahaha... Relax lad. I know that you're not that capable schemer to do something like that. Ah Gods I needed that laugh. Now go I'll see what I can do."

You can have that heartattack of yours you old fuck...

" Yes, ofcourse my Lord". I silently took my leave.

[ Three days later] Me and all other important Lords ( except the Lannisters) currently waiting at harbor to receive the Targaryen queen. Well she arrived two days earlier then Robert. Man... traveling with ships are far more faster than land.

Lord Arryn then looked at me and asked an important question that I wish I had the answer.

" Tell me Alan , do you have the ability to see the future?

It's seems like I gained another victory from him.

" A word from my Land my Lord. A magician never reveals his secret."
