Visit of the Tyrells

Ollena was arriving at the South port of the island, upon arrival they saw several boats from the Trant house patrolling the waters, along with several other boats anchored in the long port, the port was well organized and clean, it had been divided into commercial and passenger sectors. and fishing each one had its markets, it was full of houses decorated with the colors of the Trant house they were made of stone with wood solid houses in the windows were decorated with beautiful plants and flags of the Trant house, beautiful bronze poles decorated with Plants were all over the paths.

It was something amazing, a small port city was so wonderful and so dangerous at the same time hundreds of anti-siege measures, solid defenses, and deadly weapons were placed on the walls

A carriage was waiting for us in the passenger area, we were led by a young guide and the soldiers from my house were behind us.

The carriage was magnificent, beautifully decorated with extremely soft and comfortable seats, surprisingly the roads were beautifully decorated with the same bronze poles.

Willas was intrigued and asked: Excuse me, could you tell me what the decorated bronze poles on the road are for?

The young guide replied: My lords, they are lanterns of light, at night the special plants brought from Uthos bloom and emit a soft light that illuminates the path, many people come at night to dine in the forests illuminated by them, they are extremely romantic.

Ollena was surprised because some flowers that could emit light had never been seen, adding to the fact that they were from Uthos, a land that was not known that was in it, it was only known that it was a great forest.

Willas: Impressive, how many things will be hidden in those lands, but how did Lord Trant get them?

Guide: Many of these wonders were brought by Lady Elentary and other people who came to the City, they are extremely rare and only they know how to grow and plant them (a little lie that the guides tell, almost the entire island knows how to make them germinate)

That was why Ollena liked Willas, his mind was quicker than her idiot son Mace's.

Ollena spoke: Tell me, young man, because Lord Trant did not seek us out in person.

The Guide replied: Lord Trant apologizes for that, My Lords, the Young Master is busy with matters of the iron bank today a delegation arrived to congratulate him for being part of the private council of the bank.

Ollena changed his face in a short time, not everyone could be recognized by the iron bank as a shareholder, it takes a lot of power and deep wealth for it, The boy is ready to play a unique card, he is showing us that his Wealth exceeds the of the Reach and Lannister even to the Crown itself.

Damn, My stupid son provoked a damn monster that was calm and sleeping.

Also, this was part of the Young Lord's game, slapping him with his title showing that he is superior to them in power.

The Guide took me out of my thoughts announcing that we were approaching the city.

I wish it was a simple city, it was a fucking giant fortress its walls were much higher and thicker than normal, and not even all siege weapons could breach its walls, every 50 meters there was a watchtower with siege weapons mounted on it, and the door was Iron Wood with steel plates several inches thick

The Walls had the House Trant Flags on them waving

Upon entering we noticed that it was not only 1 but 2 doors making the entrance a square of death, if you were lucky enough to pass the first door you would be arrested by the second where they would throw you with the oil defenses, they would stab you with spears from the walls

I wish that was the only wonderful thing, but the city was beautiful, it didn't have the disgusting rotten aroma of the king's landing there was a delicious smell of flowers, freshly baked bread, beautiful water fountains, and children were playing in beautiful parks with fruit trees and flowers.

People were eating in different places sitting at tables and chairs, and several patrols of soldiers walking around maintaining public order, everyone greeted the soldiers and they returned the greetings or played a little with the children. More than a city of small people, it seemed like a city of only nobles

Something that instilled more fear in them was the beasts that were loose in the street, some were playing with the children or sleeping in the parks, Ollena recognized some, Dire Wolves as big as a horse, Shadow Cats just as big, White Lions and horses with black stripes

Willas asked the guide: Excuse me, is it safe to have such dangerous creatures around the city?

The guide looked: Ah, the Hrakkar and Shadow Cat are harmless as long as no one tries to harm them, they like to walk around the city and play with the children and take care of them, the Direwolves are from the foresters that patrol the island and the forests.

Willas looked for the names of those creatures: Excuse me, I only know two Shadow Cats and Wargs, they are from beyond the wall, being considered fantasy, but the others do not know where they come from.

The guide laughed softly: Well the Hrakkar are native to the Dothraki Sea, our lord brought them and the zebrallos are raised by the Jogos Nhai, who live in the plains north of Yi Ti, east of the Dothraki Sea and the Mountains of Bones. Where we trade a little with them.

Ollena had noticed that the Guide had told her this on purpose to show her how far they negotiated.

Willas looked at his grandmother and said: Grandmother this is possible in a city.

Ollena wanted to say no to her grandson, but before her eyes, it was the opposite, in the end, she could only say: Only in one way Willas, the man has to be extremely good in his duties and a genius without equal, loved, and respected.

Willas nodded, the carriage was approaching Lord Trant's castle, when we saw it it just came out of his mouth: Wonderful.

Ollena nodded to Willas, it was a majestic structure, you had to accept it house Trant was one of the new powers of the 7 kingdoms whether they liked it or not and they had offended them enough.

Getting off the carriage, we were guided through the castle to the inner courtyard, the interior of the castle was wonderful, beautiful polished black marble floors beautifully decorated with emerald green carpets and gold details of flowers and trees, and the walls had beautiful paintings of different landscapes, the castle steward took us to our chambers.

Upon entering we saw beautiful rooms with polished dark wood floors, and large and soft beds, the butler guided us to a personal bathroom, it was something never seen before an object that I call a faucet could get both hot and cold water, more Later the maids would come to help with my bath and helpers for Willas.

The man explained to us some rules of the trant house, they were quite innovative and they took care of their people, the young man had made the maidens only attend to other women and the butlers to the gentlemen. if they were requested

After cleaning up and getting ready, we went to meet Lord Trant in the inner courtyard, the young man was sitting at the tea table with a pile of papers reviewing them and applying his signature to several, seeing us arrive, he hands over the papers to his assistant and asks to prepare the table for dinner.

The young man stands up and walks toward us, he was an incredibly handsome young man with an athletic build, and a sharp but warm gaze his voice was firm with great power

Adrián: Greetings, Lady Ollena and Lord Willas, welcome to my Castle, sorry for not having been able to attend to you earlier, I had a small meeting with some of the owners of the iron bank.

Please come with me for a little lunch

Ollena: Don't worry Lord Trant, it's understandable when dealing with the envoys of the iron bank, I hope your meeting bore fruit.

Adrián with a sincere smile: More than expected Lady Ollena, I am currently one of the new shareholders of the bank with a voice on the board.

Ollena and Willas looked at the young man in amazement, it was well known that the iron bank would never give a council seat for a little gold it needed to be rich and powerful for it

They both sat down at the table in a short time various types of food, wine, liquor, fruit juice, and water arrived at the table. An intoxicating scent filled the air, it was a banquet fit for kings.

Adrián: I hope you enjoy this simple lunch, please I hope you like it.

There were so many types of food that I had never seen or heard of, there were meats, fish, shellfish, different types of poultry, soups, and vegetables.

Willas took something that the young man called Ratatouille and Duck Confit, I for my part chose Filet mignon, with a little salad.

It was extremely delicious. I had never tasted a slice of meat so well prepared and seasoned, the meat juices in the mouth were a delight, and the fresh and tasty vegetables contrasted well with the meat.

Their fruit juices were sweet and refreshing, it was a nice change to be able to enjoy a few meals without drinking alcohol.

After finishing the meal, the guy offered us the desserts, fruit tarts, small mace sandwiches and fillings, pears, and apples slowly cooked in wine.

Adrián: Well, now that we share the food, let's move on to the important thing, Lady Ollena, who brings it to my humble home.

Ollena: Lord Trant, it was a pleasure to have eaten such delicacies, we come to see if we can treat my young grandson Willas's wound.

Adrián sighed as he remembered: Ah yes Oberyn told me about it, His dear father forced him to fight in a joust when he was young in his first tournament if it was a devastating mistake of his dear Son.

Ollena was smiling, quite scathing with the words directed at the wounds and showing her friendship with Dorne.

Ollena: Unfortunately my idiot son does those things, we have to apologize for that nonsense about the faceless men.

Adrián with a laugh: Haha don't worry, it was quite fun to catch him and go visit the Kind man to explain some things to him. What a pity that a bad seed ruins the harvest, no.

Ollena kept her fake smile, she was a little scared by the boy's statement not everyone faced the faceless men and lived to tell about it, and even less to say that it was fun, for something its price is no longer payable.

Ollena: We're sorry that was my idiot son's decision, so we're here to see if we can cure Willas and make him the heir.

Adrián: I think it's excellent, you want me to bring Master Marwin and Lady Lunara to examine it.

Ollena: Please, Lord Trant, if you could, let him know so they can see if it is possible to cure him.

Adrián: He called his assistants and told them to look for Maestre Marwin and Lady Lunara.

They took 10 minutes to arrive, and they both took Willas to a medical room in the castle, when they examined him they saw that his bones had not healed correctly and the leg muscles were affected, they would only need to correctly treat the bone with magic and the muscles then it was a matter for the young man to exercise.

They left the room and said that it was treatable only that the leg had not healed properly and it would take 5 days to fix it then the young man had to work on the muscles because if they were not used they atrophied and needed rehabilitation.

Ollena was surprised, she thought that Willas's leg had no solution as her master said.

Adrian then said: Then it is decided you will be my guest for 5 days until young Willas is cured.

Ollena: It will be a pleasure Lord Trant, thank you for healing my grandson

During those 5 days, Ollena saw incredible things, the trained armies of the Trant house, the rangers, a walk through the markets and streets, and the parties that took place in the city and its beauties.

I only come to one conclusion, you should not mess with their house, they are extremely loved by their people if anyone tries to overthrow or attack them, they will not hesitate to take up arms and defend themselves.

Their armies trained from sunrise to sunset, in a war they would kill everyone mercilessly.

Added to the most unheard of, he had created the model of the citadel and its masters open to all, its utilities were incredible, while those rats on their land only sucked the gold from the high garden.

Thus ended the visit of the Tyrells to the island, Willas wanted to return to study at the specialized schools of law and economics.

Now the hardest part remained, the children of the north, especially Arya
