Chicken or egg

So guys. Sorry for late update but I have an uncle who died on covid. We weren't close but still it feels bad since I even can't go on his funeral so that's the delay an probably the next few chapters and the update will be bad.

With the paragraphs and comments the dragon option won. Now I will decide if I make it on or two. Maybe the frost dragon like per some ideas, but it's more of night king thing.

I was about to reply to him when we heard the doors opening and in came Ser Bryce full of smiles.

"My lord! I have an important question!" He didn't even look at Ser Arthur that was about to grab his sword and cut him for interrupting our conversation.

I sighed and looked at the dead man.

He felt something was off when he looked at my expression.

"Huh? It got cold? Never mind." He shook it off. I could see a vein on Ser Arthur forehead about to pop. "My lord!" He continued "I made a bet with Ser Gerold!"

"Fascinating Ser Bryce..." I started to get annoyed by all the interruptions.

"I know! Right?! I never took the old man for a gambler!" After hearing him my head started to hurt.

"So my lord! The bet is that if I can prove to him what was first, the chicken or the egg I will get his horse!" ...idiot... that's the only thing I can think of to describe my sworn shield. I'm happy he his all talents went into fighting.

I could hear a sword being drawn from behind him and was ready to pray for him later.

"Ser Gerold doesn't know that I asked you so tell me the answer and don't tell him anything!" How can I break his confidence after hearing that and seeing that expectant look? He must have heard the sword being drawn from behind him as he turned around.

"Oh! Ser Arthur you're here as well! Oh! But watch the sword, it's easy to loose balance and cut yourself on a ship." He nodded at his own words of wisdom.

I wanted to burst out laughing but looking at Ser Arthurs expression I kept it in. Don't need more problems for now.

"My lord. If you excuse us. We have some sparing to do." Ser Arthur was really doing his best not showing his anger. It was really funny to watch Bryce being dragged out from my cabin while shouting "But the egg!".

I went back to my notes and read again.

The next few days were the same, maybe with a small exception of me pissing from the ship into Lannisport direction shouting "Fuck you Lanisters!" just to vent a bit my hatred to the "golden" family when we were passing it.

Of course I did so in the morning when the rest was still sleeping so only my men and crew saw it.

They already knew what I thought about the most influential family in Westeros. I will let them keep the title as Old Gods know they will not be the richest one for long as we already started to catch up with our income and even overtake them with every new ship we build and every new shadow we train.

We already are the first and biggest logistic and construction family in Westeros and Essos.

Basically I'm filthy rich.

"My lord." Aero came to me with a wide smile I know what it means.

"Looking at your smile I assume our plan for Qarth goes well?" I asked with my arms crossed on my chest.

"Very well my lord!" He is too exited for my taste, but it's understandable as his relatives are more powerful with every day passed. It would be good if they know their place but if not... I have my own contingencies. "3 out of 13 are ours!" He was so proud.

I looked at him trying to be as cold as I could. "Ours?" He trembled catching his mistake.

"I meant yours my lord..." He lowered his head, but did he think I won't suspect him because of that?

"Aero this is your last chance. Remember your place and you will have a happy and long life... forget who gave you everything you have and... well, you know the consequences." I'm not going to play with him.

"My lord." The captain came making the atmosphere return to normal. "We will reach Dorne at noon." He bowed and left after my acknowledgement.

"My lord I would never!" Aero was clearly scared.

"I hope you don't. I don't want to blame your family's children for the adults mistakes." I finished and went back to my cabin.

I already grew out from the motion of letting the children of my enemies go free. There's no point in keeping trouble growing look at Arya.

Not always, but the option is still there.

I was sitting in my chair thinking about the future.

3 fucking dragons how should I fight with that? Yes we have Scorpions, but Kings Landing had them too and what did one dragon do with it?

It's so nice to think we are Northmen, we don't need them! So what should I do? Call it nicely to come dawn and stop flying around just so I could poke him with toothpick? How the fuck do you kill that without white walkers superpower? I remember in my previous world a debate about that, but I remember telling my friends one thing.

Check the Kings Landing siege video and tell me you don't feel powerless. I have no idea how Euron could kill one. Lucky shot and that's it.

The people are not the problem. What should I do? Kill everyone before they can establish their power or just let them be? Why not do both...

I can kill some of them with a word, but why should I? I still want them to play their part if I'm too take everything for myself.

Being truthful with myself I don't really have any plans. I just go with the flow and do things that come to my head and the only unchanging thing is what's in the past.

Since I learned that the black three eyes bird can't see anything that has connection to me thanks to Twig so fuck him I feel safe.

Now Daenerys. I can send people to steal the dragon eggs if Ilyrio has them and they will be fucked if I manage to do so.

I can let her be and play her like my pawn I can leave her for that savage.

I don't deny I would fuck her, but just that. What's so good about her? She doesn't even have big boobs or is beautiful. Yes she looks nice, but in my opinion even her treacherous Dothraki handmaiden was a bigger looking beauty.

The Dothraki, fucking savages. I really hope to pick the weeds out with roots. Great place to train my cavalry by the way. Maybe even build a settlement there. So many fields unused.

Valyria. A must go to place.

I heard about different creatures in this world but most weren't seen for thousands of years. I wanted my griffin but they are extinct. My people went through the whole Vale and nothing. That only lives me with dragons and Valyria is the answer.

I don't believe there is not even one egg left.

"My lord. We arrived." Ser Bryce said from outside the door.

Finally. Dorne.
