"Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you."

― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones - Tyrion Lannister

(POV of Arthur Pendragon and third person POV.)

Years and more years had passed since Arthur discovered that he would marry his own cousin, and in the following years, despite feeling anguished due to his past memories (A/N: Past Life, after all, you don't marry your cousin... no offense to any readers who do).

Arthur met his cousin and accepted the fact that he would marry her. Even though he had Excalibur by his side at that moment, House Whent had a lot of difficulty in maintaining the lands of Harrenhal.

Harrenhal was a monstrosity given form, a castle built in the megalomaniac dream of a self-proclaimed "King." Its lands were unable to sustain the castle. Aside from some disagreements, the castle was said to be cursed.

However, despite the dark legends surrounding Harrenhal, its imposing structure told a tale of power and arrogance. The construction of the fortress began during the reign of Harren the Black, a ruthless and ambitious king who ruled over the Iron Islands. He desired a symbol of supremacy that would rival the great castles of the Seven Kingdoms.

Harrenhal was erected on the shores of the Gods Eye, in a swampy area that made agriculture and the survival of local inhabitants difficult. Harren didn't care about the devastation caused in his lands or the suffering imposed on the people living there. He wanted a colossal castle that would command respect and fear from all who laid eyes on it.

To build this architectural wonder, Harren employed thousands of workers, many of them slaves brought from the Iron Islands. The construction advanced rapidly, and the gigantic castle started taking shape with its ominous towers reaching up into the sky. The castle's construction was known for using advanced engineering techniques, with towers reaching heights never before seen in Westeros.

But even after the extraction of the Weirwood trees that had been used in the castle's foundation, it was said that the castle was "cursed." Living in the castle, Arthur realized that all of this could be a lie; for some reason, nothing unusual had occurred during his presence, or perhaps they had been prevented from happening when he was around.

For years, Arthur investigated these occurrences, and all leads led to dead ends. From the whispers of the servants to the castle's armorer. Now, he decided that perhaps it was people responsible for these murders, and maybe they were avoiding him to not bother Arthur. After all, in these years, Arthur had finally managed to bring and wield his sword Excalibur, as well as his lance Rhongomyniad and Avalon.

He believed it was time to finally move forward and go to the Heart Tree of Weirwood to find some answers. After all, in these past years, Arthur had not only met his future wife/"cousin" but also had his first case of infidelity when he impregnated his wet nurse, who was also his personal servant.

Knowing that he would soon be married, 13-year-old Arthur wanted to know if he was sterile or not. After all, in the original mythology of King Arthur himself, he had great difficulty having a firstborn child, "Mordred," due to the dragon's essence within him.

So, when the birth of his first child happened, it was kept hidden from his mother and his future wife. (A/N: He knows what he did wasn't entirely right, but he hadn't married her yet, so...)

With an unwavering sense of strength, Arthur donned his magical armor, took his sword, and prepared to go to the "Eye of God" to have a conversation with the ancient gods. Surely, Excalibur would solve the problem in the minds of the ancient gods.

As he began to leave the castle, Arthur noticed the changes in the castle over the years. The castle now accommodated merchants within its walls, as it made more sense to use the space productively. Another part had become a small town that was in use. As well as the castle being "fixed."

If you say that fixing the main towers only up to the height they were after Aegon melted the castles, it would be much cheaper to rebuild several floors of the tower to completion than to maintain the current height and finish the details. But the main tower was the only one that was reworked, after all, it was where the family lived.

Arthur Pendragon left Harrenhal castle with a sense of determination and purpose. He was about to seek answers in the Weirwood woods, known as the "Eye of God." It was a sacred and ancestral place where the old gods were revered.

Clad in his magical armor and wielding the legendary sword Excalibur, Arthur felt prepared to face any challenges he might encounter. He believed that his connection to the sword and his dragon blood could help him find the answers he sought.

As he left the castle behind, Arthur noticed the changes that had occurred over the years. Part of the castle now housed merchants, and a small town had developed within the fortress walls. Other parts of the castle had been restored and rebuilt, although the main tower had undergone the most repairs as it was the family's residence.

The young "King of Camelot," now Whent, felt a mix of emotions as he saw how Harrenhal had changed over time. The grandeur of the castle, even in its incomplete and cursed state, was still impressive. However, the weight of the dark history surrounding it was also evident.

As he walked toward the Weirwood woods, Arthur reflected on his own choices and the responsibility he was about to take on by marrying his cousin. He was aware of the rumors and stories about the curse that hung over the castle and wondered if he could handle the challenges that lay ahead.

Upon reaching the "Eye of God," a sacred location surrounded by Weirwood trees with white bark and red eyes, Arthur knelt down and began to pray and invoke the ancient gods. He sought guidance, wisdom, and perhaps even an answer about his fertility and the destiny that awaited him as king. (A/N: Arthur or Arturia, they were capable of walking on water, so yes, he simply walked to the other side of the river.)

The wind whispered through the trees, and the sounds of the forest seemed to respond to him, but for now, the answers remained silent. Arthur knew he might not obtain all the answers at once, but he was willing to persist in his quest for understanding and truth.

Arthur Pendragon's life was about to take a new turn, and he was determined to face the unknown with courage and honor. His destiny as the king of Harrenhal and his adventures with the legendary sword Excalibur were just beginning, and he was resolved to carve his own path, even if it meant challenging traditions and confronting the dark mysteries surrounding the castle.

Thus, Arthur remained at the "Eye of God," seeking answers and preparing for the challenges that lay ahead. His journey was only
