Reach

Highgarden

Olenna Tyrell pov

How can things get so twisted like this is beyond her, one moment Eddard Stark was the new Hand and next the whole seven kingdoms were at war and that fat oaf of a king died by a boar no less

Now here they are supporting Renly Baratheon for king even though his elder brother Stannis is alive just because her stupid son Mace is in hurry to make Margaery a queen , more like Loras will Renly's queen than Margaery

She has been able to hold off their marriage for now until things get clear, but that didn't stop her stupid son from celebrations and feasts

While they are here holding tourneys and feasting in the honour of their new king, two little boys were fighting the real war in the riverlands

The young wolf and white wolf are winning battle after battle like it is nothing while the reach men are stuffing their faces, 'tourney Knights' is what the rest of the seven kingdoms calls the reach men,only good for tourneys and nothing else and she can see why

Reach has the biggest host but whats the use of such men, north is well know for their fearsome warriors, vale has their Knights but what does reach has tourneys, endless meaningless tourneys

The stark boys captured the kingslayer, Kevan Lannister and other western lords, they have Tywin fucking lannisters on the run, even the great lion is running from them like a scared cat

Tales of their victories have spread all across the seven kingdoms, according to latest report they have giants, she had to confirm that from multiple sources to believe it

These boys are showing how Starks ruled the biggest kingdom for 8,000 years and even the andals had to admit defeat to them, this is the kind of man she wants for Margaery , charging into battle at 14 with direwolves, defeating men multiple times their age battle after battle

Alas marrying Margaery to Starks won't make her a queen so we are stuck with Renly

Dorne

Sunspear

Doran Martell pov

His plan is crumbling before his eyes, he wanted his daughter Arianne to marry Viserys Targaryen and be queen of the seven kingdoms but now Viserys is dead in the dothraki sea and Daenerys is married to some horselord

He planned to use the conflict between lions and the wolves to get revenge on the lannisters but the Starks are doing great on their own and the way things are going Tywin might be dead before he could do anything

When the mountain died his brother wanted to go meet the white wolf but he stopped him from going, his brother is not the most stable person it was better to not deal with the white wolf

Knowing Oberyn he would have wanted to fight the boy , and seeing what happened to the last person who fought the white wolf, he thought playing it safe was the right choice

But he can't stop his brother now, his brother already left for the riverlands to kill Tywin with the white wolf, hopefully they won't kill eachother while they are at it

Oberyn can do whatever he wants because he doesn't have to worry about dorne, he on the other hand has to think about the consequences of the every move carefully before acting

He has to make plans from all sides, regardless who wins the war

Riverrun

Jaime Lannister pov

Jaime never thought things would turn out like this, one moment he was chasing after few men in the woods and then battle was lost before he knew it

He tried to get the stark boy but was stopped by that wench, if he was honest he was most suprised by how that tall woman fought him to a draw and the hound attacked him from the back, Clagane was Joffrey's sworn sheild until a few moons ago

Then he heard his father was defeated at green fork, first he didn't believe it but the evidence kept piling up till he finally believed it

He can't even rest easy because he is tied to a wooden pole where the giant direwolf comes to rest, the grey beast has been his bane for days now, he can't even sleep properly due to the wolf

He keeps dreaming of being devoured by this huge monster,but even with all this he hasn't lost hope, he plans his escape everyday but he hasn't able to do it yet

Everyday he is losing a little bit of hope as the army gathering at Riverrun gets bigger and bigger

Kingslanding

Red Keep

Varys pov

Everything thing is going better than he taught, the boy king is more stupid than he estimated, while his grandfather is lossing battle after battle the fool is holding tourneys and redecorating the throne room

The lannisters are losing something every day,when the Starks disappeared little finger also went missing that help prevent everyone from being suspicious of him ,and he soo enjoyed the look on the queen's face when he told about kingslayer's capture and her father's defeat

Now Tywin lannister is holed up in harrenhal thinking he can stand against any numbers within the castle, the first lord of the castle also thought the same

The castle walls might stop the giants but when a dragon comes knocking even the biggest castles don't last long under their fire

With the war going on he was slowly able to move the wildfire to the Velaryon ships and send it to Eastwatch, it was good that his king somehow knew of the wildfire and and tasked him to him to move it,this wildfire was a disaster waiting to happen one that could have killed millions

With the incompetence of the boy king taking kingslanding was going to be easy for his king

Soon the Targaryen banners will fly on the walls of kingslanding again and the realm will have a worthy king for once
