Chapter 3Varys

======================

Chapter 3Varys

Saladinus was brought to Aemond, he looked to be about 30 years old, Aemond had ordered a set of noble armor and clothing for him.

Saladinus received the position of master of law, Aemond promoted him quickly

"My king, let me recruit poor people from Flea Bottom and other neighborhoods, we need the militia to protect the city walls" Saladinus

"No problem, I would do that, I will write a letter on my behalf, a request for recruitment and rewards" Aemond

Aemond managed, with the support of Qarlton Chelsted, to control the golden cloaks, honestly King Aerys II was not much loved

Aemond entered started the work of defense of the city

--------------------------

Aemond immediately made an order and ordered all the smiths in town to take agricultural scythes and turn them into war scythes, mainly lengthening the hilt and making the range longer.

War scythes are the best weapons that untrained peasants can have, many of them are familiar with using scythes in agriculture, even with low efficiency it would be better than giving swords or spears, weapons that need a lot of training

The Lannister army, while not the biggest, is arguably what Aemond least wants to face due to the number of enemies in steel armor

Western gold allows them to equip many more soldiers with armor than the rest of the entire kingdom, of course overall the number of soldiers without full armor is even higher.

Aemond will first try to negotiate with Tywin, using Jaime Lannister's life or a marriage agreement with Cersei, however, producing crossbows for siege defense and war scythes for defense if the gate falls is necessary.

Aemond knows Cersei's personality, but he still wants to marry her, firstly because of the Lannisters' support and secondly that Aemond will banish Jaime to Lannister lands and forbid him to be near Cersei

While Aemond was thinking, a Spartan guard brought a fat, bald man into the throne room.

"Lord Varys, sorry for my lack of education, however I did it for the sake of the kingdom" Aemond

"Prince Aemond, I can understand, although I'm still confused about some things" Varys

Varys was really confused, not about the fact that the king was arrested, but about Aemond, Varys is the person with the most knowledge about this prince, intelligent but always shy and unsupported, yet even so, Aemond took the throne in one night

"Lord Varys, you must know better about the situation in the realm, about my father's madness and my late brother's mistakes, the Targayen dynasty is in a critical situation" Aemond

"This rebellion is something caused by my own family and I don't deny it, however at all times the common people of the kingdom suffer from this war, the Riverlands lands are in ruins, and the rebel Robert declared a claim to the throne after killing my brother and has the support of 4 great noble houses, and soon there will be 6 houses" Aemond

"I understand your motives, young prince, but still, arresting the king is not very inspiring of you" Varys

"a high price, but necessary for the good of the kingdom, for the good of my family" Aemond

"Lord Varys, I recognize your ability, I want you to help me and help the kingdom, I need your services" Aemond

Varys was silent, he seemed to think, though he didn't like Aemond's approach, he could see Aerys' madness, simply unable to rule, and although the throne was rightfully for Aegon, the son of Rhaegar, Aegon is just a baby unable to lead a kingdom

Although Prince Aemond is a young man with a good head, Varys has no idea how Aemond got so confident, he still recognizes the skill displayed by the prince last night, he has seen the prince's soldiers and knows with just one look, the tall one level of training and strength of these soldiers is something that few armies in the world have.

"Prince Aemond, rest assured, I will use my birds, and provide you with all the help possible" Varys

Varys did not call Aemond king or majesty, however Aemond has not officially risen to power, he still needs the recognition of the faith of the 7

"Very well, Lord Varys, your position as Master of Whispers has been returned, I hope we can have a good cooperation."

Aemond was happy, although he doesn't trust Varys 100%, he needs Varys' help.

------------------------------------

Aemond left the throne and went to visit his sister-in-law, he will not kill her or her nephew, although he has been robbed of the position of king, he will not lower himself to the family murderer

Aemond looked at his sister-in-law who was being guarded by soldiers, she was holding a child in her lap while a little girl clung to her legs.

The little girl is Rhaenys only 4 years old, a cute child, she is the favorite relative of the old Aemond

"Uncle Aemond, these scary men won't let me go play" Rhaenys, the girl ran up to Aemond

"It's ok my niece, they're just protecting you ok" Aemond, he took the girl from his lap

Elia Martell looked at everything with suspicion and fear, she is smart and already knew what happened, in normal situations, Aemond should kill Aegon and secure the throne, so she held her son tightly

Aemond didn't have many interactions with Elia, he just liked Rhaenys, so he didn't have much respect for his sister-in-law, although he felt sorry for her for knowing her future fate.

"Princess Elia, I ask that you stay in the room with your children, you will have everything you need, but soon this town will be in trouble, you must be safe, I will not harm my blood" Aemond

Aemond left, he didn't say anything else, any other words wouldn't have much confidence, Elia will be scared until the end of the war probably, Aemond will keep them safe and then use divorce to legally become king
