Chapter 202: The Situation Changes

Extra Chapter~

Alaric crossed the Narrow Sea with the two daughters of House Stark and returned to Pentos.

During the voyage, he revealed his identity to Sansa and Arya, informing them that he was actually a high-ranking member of the Dragon God Church and a descendant of House Targaryen, aligned with Daenerys Targaryen. 

Sansa and Arya were somewhat surprised to learn this.

However, since the two girls were still young and were born after the War of the Usurper had ended, they had no concept of the significance of House Targaryen.

Moreover, Alaric had not done anything against House Stark while in King's Landing; on the contrary, he had greatly assisted House Stark and even helped them escape from peril. 

Therefore, the two girls harbored no resentment towards him and did not feel betrayed.

Especially when Alaric mentioned the possibility of an alliance with House Stark in the future, the two girls became even happier.

In their minds, the trouble now lay with House Stark, and Alaric's willingness to facilitate an alliance between Daenerys Targaryen and House Stark was seen as aiding House Stark, out of consideration for the two sisters.

This further strengthened their relationship, and Sansa even began to consider how she might marry Alaric under the guise of an alliance.

Unfortunately, after arriving in Pentos, the two sisters discovered a rather cruel fact: they had many competitors, all of whom were exceptionally talented.

Firstly, there were the Mother of Dragons, Khaleesi of the Dothraki Sea, the rulers of the Free Cities, the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, the protector of the realm, the reincarnation of Azor Ahai, the earthly representative of the Dragon God, the chosen king.

Daenerys Targaryen.

Just by looking at that long list of titles, it was clear that she was a powerful person, coupled with her exquisite appearances, and she was a little older than Sansa.

In addition, there was Melisandre, the Pope of the Dragon God Church, revered by countless followers, powerful in her own right, and alluringly beautiful.

There was also the Princess of Dorne, Arianne Martell, skilled in the arts of intrigue, and possessing a youthful face and ample bosom...

This left the two sisters feeling overwhelmed.

However, they had no time to worry about this now, as news arrived from King's Landing that their father, Eddard Stark, had been impulsively executed by Prince Joffrey.

This was a shockingly audacious order.

You see, in the present Seven Kingdoms, after the death of King Robert, the various lords were already showing signs of restlessness, especially since both of Robert Baratheon's brothers had timely left King's Landing.

Renly had seized control of Storm's End, the ancestral seat of House Baratheon, and formed an alliance with House Tyrell in exchange for their support, while Stannis had returned to Dragonstone.

In this situation, the Lannisters, who wanted to secure Joffrey's claim to the throne, did not want to antagonize House Stark. 

Particularly now that two daughters of House Stark had escaped, imprisoning Eddard was akin to holding House Stark hostage, which could help in negotiations or alliances. 

However, by impulsively killing Eddard, Joffrey had effectively forced House Stark into opposition.

Consequently, upon hearing of their father's death, Eddard's eldest son, Robb Stark, raised his banners in the North, preparing to march on King's Landing. 

House Stark's ally, the Tullys of Riverrun, the maternal family of Catelyn Tully, also rose in rebellion and allied with House Stark.

At this moment, the Lannisters had not yet taken the Riverlands, as in the original story, because Tywin's son Tyrion had died in the Eyrie, and the Lannisters had lost their pretext for attacking the Riverlands.

Instead, they marched towards the Vale. However, the Eyrie was too formidable, and although much of the Vale's territory had fallen, the Eyrie itself still stood like a nail in front of the Lannisters.

On the other hand, Alaric, who possessed evidence of Joffrey's true parentage, spread this information throughout the continent of Westeros using Pentos' new product, parchment. 

He claimed that Stannis was Robert's true heir, gradually causing Joffrey to lose support. Even many minor lords in the royal domain were disillusioned with the current king's rule.

Meanwhile, both Renly and Stannis declared themselves kings, respectively, in the capital of the Reach, Highgarden, and on Dragonstone.

With House Stark's forces marching south, the Greyjoy family of the Iron Islands began to stir. 

However, their second son, Euron, was killed by Daenerys Targaryen during the sword drawing ceremony, and his fleet of pirates disbanded, weakening the Iron Islands. 

Nonetheless, they were still preparing to raid House Stark and seize control of the North.

Thus, Westeros was divided into five factions.

As for Daenerys Targaryen, through Sansa and Arya, she secretly formed an alliance with House Stark. 

Although Eddard was loyal to Robert, his family was not as loyal to the Baratheons. 

Robb promised Daenerys that if she helped him avenge the Lannisters, House Stark would support her as the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms when she swept across the continent.

However, it was not yet time to counterattack Westeros. 

Daenerys planned to wait until the Seven Kingdoms were in chaos, with various factions at each other's throats and their resources depleted, before making her move.

Currently, she had successfully unified the entire Dothraki Sea, with nearly a hundred thousand Dothraki warriors under her command. 

Her next step was to attack Braavos and Slaver's Bay, and unify the continent of Essos.

During this time, Alaric conducted experiments on Daenerys using the new generation of dragons and the magic, specifically Animagus, resulting in Daenerys successfully transforming into a silver dragon. 

She had now become the true Mother of Dragons and often soared through the sky with her three dragon daughters.

Subsequently, both Melisandre and Arianne also successfully transformed into dragons. 

Melisandre's transformation was into a golden-red dragon, with flames shining with white light, still deeply influenced by the magic of R'hllor that she had previously practiced. 

Arianne, on the other hand, transformed into a slender purple dragon.

Even the two girls who remained in Pentos as hostages (or brides?) learned Animagus.

However, they did not have the aptitude to become dragons but rather became traditional Animagi. 

Both sisters transformed into direwolves, the sigil of House Stark, which led Alaric to even suspect that all Animagi of House Stark could transform into direwolves.
