New Master of Coins

The economic conditions of the Iron Throne was growing day by day. It seemed that Lannisters were no longer satisfied with the small roles.

It was already end of the July. The one year anniversary of the Baratheon Dynasty was coming up. The original Robert would call for a tourney for sure. And I also wanted to take this opportunity to gather all lords and nobles of the realm.

Because of the large projects, Jon Arryn was overworking. I decided to appoint a Master of Coins. They recommended many candidates.

Jon Arryn recommended Pyter Baelish.

Can you imagine that?

Pyter Baelish was a man of true capabilities. He fucked someone's wife and let the husband recommend him for a ministerial post at the court.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I could not help but to thump up.

I did not want the wife stealing bastard anywhere near my court.

"Thou shall not steal."

But it's okay for me to steal because I had the DIVINE RIGHTS. I was the king. 😛

Maester Pycelle recommended Tywin Lannister.

Hmm, look at that. I did not want to move this old bastard but it seemed I was too lenient.

Varys did not recommend anyone. He wanted to play neutral. What a sneaky fellow!

Cersei was aware of the discussion. She played cute and asked me the position for her father.

Look at that. A lioness was playing cute like a puppy. My lioness taming ritual worked like a charm.

I promised her on one condition. I wanted Jamie the Incester back to Casterly Rock. She seemed to hesitant a little but relented.

If she did not agree the condition, I'd send the bastard to underworld.

As I had mentioned before, I did not want any wife stealers near.

She rewarded me by sucking out a mouthful of my royal seeds. But it was not a reward but punishment for me. She just scratched the wound.

Anyway, Tywin Lannister became the new Master of Coins.

You may ask why should I make the Lannisters more powerful? Because they were my allies. Tywin was my father in law. Good or bad, I had already knocked up Cersei. I was going to be a father.

I was not the original Robert. I had no personal enmity with them.

Moreover, I had not attachment to the Targareyan Dynasty. I had no plan for restoring it. I was just reincarnated for about a year. How could I have attachment to them?

Targareyans were a matter of the past. For me, there was no difference between Baratheon or Targareyan.

I did not have much clan concept.

Coming back to the story, ravens were sent with the appointment letter.

I had a long talk with Jon Arryn. I gave another bottle of pills and encouraged him to sire a heir for the House of Arryn.

I also mentioned that Lysa seemed to lonely and depressed. The old man took my advice.

That's a relief. I did not have to sacrifice myself and my royal seeds for the sake of greater good and for the peace of the entire realm.

To avoid any negligence, I also wrote a appointment letter for the post of road construction supervisor in Dorne and sent to Pyter Baelish.

Dorne had the slowest progress in road construction. They looked for various excuses to delay the project. I wanted to see if this capable bastard could convince the Dornishes.

Tywin Lannister had already arrived at the Red Keep. I had a meeting with him. I also handed over the seal and the sword.

My decision was right. I did not have to worry about the financial management any longer. It was already in the capable hands of Tywin Lannister.

I did not worry about Lannisters stealing money from the iron throne. They shit golds.

Here is my best financial advice " Leave your money to the rich, you will never lose."

I also handed over the PWD projects to him. He had lot of experience in the governance and public management. He was the King's Hand for the previous dynasty.

I also told him to organize a tournament. It's not about knights killing each other but real sports tournament.

Games included:

1) Polo

2) Race

3) High Jump

4) Long Jump

5) Javelin Throw

6) Archery

7) Wrestling

8) Sculpturing

9) Blacksmithy

10) Carpentry

11) Painting

12) Embroidery

It's the Olympics of Westeros. I also announced generous awards for the winners and champions of the competitions.

Ravens were sent out to all major noble houses to attend the tournament. I also ordered them to prepared a polo team for each house. I sent a booklet explaining how to play, rules of the game, etc. with illustrations. Of course, I mentioned to prepare candidates for other games or competitions.

I had many purposes for organizing this tournament.

First, I wanted to meet all the noble lords. Of course, I also wanted to checkout their wives and daughters :)

Second, it would serve a purpose for healthy competition among the houses.

Third, I was planning to establish a House of Lords or Hall of Nobles at the Red Keep. The said court would be attended by the representatives of each major houses to discuss the issues of the realm and to raise the needs and demands of their houses.

These representatives were also sort of hostages. It'd help me monitor the entire realm at close hand.

The King's Guards I sent to protect royal properties to other towns and cities had many clashes with the local knights or soldiers. I heard many dissatisfactions to the presence of king's guards in their town or city.

I thought of a place for them to raise their dissatisfactions. I did not want leave such unstable factor in the realm.

Increasing influence of the Iron Throne was prone to affect the power and interests of many.

I'd let them sent their heirs here to attend the court and for further studies at Royal College.

By doing so, I could control the entire realm. I also could influence the young minds of the heirs or even brainwash them.

House of the Lords and Royal College were my means to control the realm without much bloodshed and military suppression.
