Time Skip

(284 AC Mc's PoV a little time Skip, approximately two months)

It has been a while now, And a new year has come. Though we do not have any Christmas or 31st night to celebrate with, Because in Kingslanding everyday is a festival .

From the capital we received a lot of good and bad News. The news from the Riverland is pretty conflicted.

Caitlyn gave birth to Robb stark in eleven months 283 AC which is a good news. And Eddard Stark hurriedly departed to Riverrun with half of his bannermen. Because safety is necessary and Riverland is currently consist of all kinds of danger. Bandits and deserters from battle of the Trident are running rampant. And half of lords were against the rebellion makes it damn dangerous.

The next news was Lysa Arryn also gave birth to twins in the following month. But unfortunately she passed away. And Lord Arryn departed to Riverrun immediately after receiving the news of his childrens births and his wife's death.

The twins , a boy and a girl named Artys and Alyssa Arryn.

After Lord John Arryns departure, Robert only had me and his brother Stannis and his Bannermens as the only trusted people he could rely on and shoved all the works on to us. So that he could have more time to fuck whores and drink wine.

And the entire administration fall on to me which is much more horrifying than facing an entire army.

Being the Master of Laws was tiring work. While one might have assumed it was possible to simply appoint a smattering of judges and be done with it, occasionally punishing the most corrupt of the lot, it proved to be so much more than that. No, he was charged with upholding the king's law in the Seven Kingdoms.

A local merchant objected to a ruling by one of the judges he appointed? That was an appeal he had to answer. After he combed through the relevant tomes on previous cases and how they pertained to the current laws. Which is the most troublesome to find certain set of laws.

A vassal disagreed with his lord's ruling on a certain case? That was an appeal he had to direct to his King Robert. But the king is too busy with hunting in kingwood.

After he combed through the relevant tomes on previous cases and how they pertained to the current laws.

A vassal asked for clarification on the enforcement of a certain set of laws? That was a letter he had to send. After combing through the relevant tomes on that law and any similar laws throughout history.

There was a pattern, and Alan Winters did not like it.

It was a pattern that required him to work long into the night, reading boring page after boring page of a boring tome that was thick enough to use as a pillow, frequently by the poor light of the candle. Oh, he could have gotten it done during the day, but not without ignoring his family.

So to make things easier Alan desided to solved the problem in his own way.

The trial by combat, If any highborns desided to refuse his judgement they can duke it out with swords or with their chosen champion. And if any lowborn refuse the same then their head is shortened by Alan's sword 🗡️.

If they do not acknowledge the judgement of a man. Then they can be judged by their Gods. Which is the sharp blade that savers head.

Which gave him a small time to spend with his family.

A month ago and before our marriage my wife Janna Tyrell have brought my two and half name days old daughter Leonette Fossoway. Though people knows that I'm her step father. But in reality I am her actual father. The proof was in her eyes , she has same blood gemstone colored eyes. The rest of her features are just like her mother.

My daughter seems to like to ride my trusted horse Stormwind. My dashing white horse also seems to listen to my daughter's honey mixed words as well.

I thought my horse hates kids for their odd demands but it seems that the little Leonette is very convincing. it's trait she received from her mom.

But I was torn between my duty and my family.

And no girl of her age was going to grow up without her father.

Worst of all, since assuming his permanent post, he had barely been able to ride Stormwind or train in the yard! If he rose early enough in the morning, when dawn was still breaking, he was able to get an hour's training in the yard with his four trusted subordinates before needing to work. But waking at such an ungodly hour was difficult enough. And the riding… the riding he left for special occasions. Those occasions were only reserved for his wife and daughter.

But thankfully I had other reliable people to help me with taking care of realm.

Baelon Greyjoy may looked like an ass, But he knows his trade pretty well. Enough to call it magnificent.

The Royal navy was well organized and some of the corrupted officers were either put to sword or drown in Sea. Or sentenced to wall.

The taxes collected from the port is also doubled up. And he somehow solved the traffic problem as well.

So Baelon Greyjoy as a master of ships doing an excellent job.

Then I have my brother in law Mace the ace Tyrell. God.....! he is a blessing.

The man might be a oaf but an excellent administrator. The day Hoster Tully returned to his home We immediately needed a man that could handle the realms finance. Thus with my recommendation Mace was temporarily appointed to the position. Robert was very sceptical about it and Stannis outright protested. But we were desperate so it was done out of necessary.

But who would've thought that he was so good at the job...!?

And talk about Stannis. He was appointed as new Lord commender of the city guard to keep peace in the city. And he was given dragon stone as his reward for holding on to the Storm's End until the war was over. Though I think he wanted Storm's End.

But I kinda understand that Robert wants to give his ancestral home to his second Son.

The new position was created in the small council for the lord commander of the city watch. Because Stannis is a prince Stannis now.

Though we can't seems to get along for a few good reasons.

1. He is jealous because of my friendship with Robert.

2. I hate him because he took away Davos from me...!

3. Stannis hates Mace Tyrell to his bones. And me being married to a Tyrell is the main cause of his hatred.

Our ideology is different and which makes things very difficult to get along.

And now Stannis recently married a Floorent which is rival house of the Tyralls. Things gotten even more intense.

Because my wife also had to clash with his.

My daughter is only thing that can heal my mental fatigue. Her smile is just like an angel...
