Since everything was finished I decided to get back home early as will set out today after the meeting.
The last few years of constant battles and vigilance took its toll on me as well.
I was watching the port where our Legions were disembarking from the ships in a well trained and organized fashion. Most of them just returned from securing the Slavers Bay cities.
The name will be kept to remind people of what was once their everyday reality.
I still had a hard time believing that I was now standing at the same balcony, watching the same view Daenerys did in the show when she watched the unified masters fleet attacking Meereen. It won't happen again. The masters are no more.
"My Lord..." a quiet voice of my new aid brought me back.
"Missandei." I smiled at the girl that was just like me 11 name days old. Her dusky skin, round youthful face and long, curly, black hair made her beautiful like almost none other. "Did you get used to your work?" I asked and again looked at the view of the city and port as she walked up to me.
"Yes my Lord... I-I wanted to tha..." She started with an ounce of hesitation in her voice.
"Missandei, if I hear you thanking me again I will ask Marselen or Mossador to spank you." We looked at each other and chuckled.
I was really surprised when it came to liberating the Unsullied. Unlike in the show there were 18.000 of them with another 4 in training or fresh out of it.
I assume most were bought in the 12 years between the time of my attack and when Daenerys came to Astapor as she had only 8000.
Kraznys was a dick through and through like always and he finished with his head at a tip of the spear. It wasn't hard without dragons, we just used 70 big chests full of gold and gems to gain his interest. I even got few Valyrian steel weapons from the masters fuckers from every city.
Marselen and Mossador were Missandei's older brothers. Now the commanders of 7th Firma and 8th Ferra Legions respectively, it was such a pleasant surprise that they were as intelligent as the girl if not more. Grey Worm which I called just Grey was the aid of the 9th Fideli Legion commander, he was still too young only having finished his training.
"I'm sorry my Lord," she lowered her head and a small smile came on her face. "I wanted..." she gathered her courage "I wanted to know if there are any news of my brothers, I know that the 7th Legion is back already, but my brother was not with them." she had a small tear forming in her eye expecting the worst.
"I know, I've sent him with the 8th on a special mission." I said trying to be mysterious. "Don't worry, both of them are healthy. Do you remember when we first met and I said I will give you a gift?" My mischievous side took over when I said that and my usual smirk made her wonder what I did this time around as she slowly nodded. "You should go to the port, the 8th will be disembarking soon." My chin pointed to the horizon where new ships were starting to come in view.
Missandei was surprised and trembled from excitement with a bright smile that she tried to hide.
"Go girl, their trip from Naath was a long one." She looked at me as I folded my arms and smiled even more seeing her shocked expression. "Go!" I shouted, but was surprised as the girl first jumped at me as her arms reached around my neck and her lips kissed mine.
After a moment of euphoric, uncontrollable happiness she understood what she had done and was flustered. "M-my Lord t...this, I-I..."
"Stop with the mumbling and go!" I was fast at hiding my surprise at her action. It was my first kiss!
The girl almost tripped few times when she sped up through the corridors.
I wanted to enjoy my peace and silence when another sound of multiple footsteps was heard.
I already knew what was coming as this was not the first time.
""Brendan!"" a shout came first then a soft body hit mine with full force.
I just managed to catch her when a second body slammed into me making me fall on my arse.
"Weak as always ey?" Obara was smiling with her spear on her back that I giffed her before.
As if to confirm her words an eagle screeched from the balcony rail.
"Might getting off of me girls?" I laughed while feeling the growing, small and soft mounds on my chest and face.
"I don't know, I kind of like this position." the naughty Tyene made sure her unobstructed skin was touching my face.
"I don't mind as well." Nymeria had the same naughty smile as Tyene did.
"You too won't help me?" I looked at the albino shadowcat that just tilted his head and chose to ignore me making the girls laugh again, but louder this time.
"Alright girls, let the young hero go, he has work to do after all." Ellaria came in with Prince Oberyn.
"I don't know love, my nephew seems to enjoy it." The Dornish Prince laughed.
"Uncle!" I protested.
When we were having fun more steps came from the corridor and after the chamber was full of people.
It's funny that the same room in which Tyrion awkwardly explained himself to Daenerys was now occupied by my people joking and laughing while drinking wine and eating snacks.
I looked around the room.
Ono and Amo my new blood riders were trying to awkwardly speak in common tongue with Maya the Lhazar Province Magistrate. It's understandable as they just started learning it.
The seven and ten years old boys were chosen after they distinguished themselves in the battlefield after 4 years of fighting.
Oro, Vorsakko and Qotho were now the heads in the three cities guarding the border between us and Dothraki sea.
Zizlaz was speaking with Theros about management as both of them were Magistrates of Meereen and Tolos provinces each.
Bryce was playing with Cerea's and Gerold's son to Lady Hightower annoyance as the man was too scary making the young Robert cry.
Arthur and Noya were arguing about sparing as they usually did.
Oberyn and Ellaria were in their own world as always and the girls were just enjoying the snacks.
The only one standing at his post was Sandor. You can't even imagine how surprised I was when he came back with Bryce and Arthur.
At the beginning I assumed he was a spy send by Lannisters, but my ability and Rina's said otherwise. He knew there will be a conflict between our houses sooner or later and choose the side giving him the chance to kill his brother.
His loyalty was unquestionable not like in the show when he thought only about himself. This made me wonder what the lions did to him to make him so merciless before.
Doesn't really matter as the young Sandor can still be shaped like normal human should.
Missandei spent some time with her parents and came back to do her duty at my side as my aid, maid and advisor and now was happily speaking to her brothers close to the Legions commanders spread around the room and enjoying their time.
"Alright guys, lets get down to business!"
