Ambition/ Alban POV

(283AC month After the Royal army left the capital. In kingslanding, Red keeps courtyard.)

Two young knight sparing with training swords under the watchful eyes of the Red keeps master at arms Ser Willam Darry. Their sword clashed with equal force And at start both knights was at equal term, But as the time passed, The more bigger and taller knight started to corner the less taller blonde knight.

Ser Darry shouted," DO not block his attack Ser Jaime, just avoid them."

But the young man is too occupied to listen. He is very desperate to win back his pride.

Alban smiled at the Lannister, " Please listen to Ser Darry and don't push yourself farther Ser Lannister. It won't give you victory."

But the Lannister smirk at his opponent, " Oh... but I did gained my victory against your friend Ser Alfred didn't I ?" ( AN: Alfred Lance is the full name of Alfy. Alan gave him after he knighted Alfy.)

Alban looked at his friend for a moment. Who is standing near with ashamed face. True that Alfy lost against Jaime. Not because of Alfy is weak, it's because Ser Jaime Lannister more telented him. Though It took him Four times try his luck.

" True Ser Lannister, that you have defeated my friend Alfred. But that does not mean you can defeat me as well. I'm far superior swordsman than you." Alban tried to anger his opponent but it did not work this time.

" Hah... time will tell who is superior, Do not underestimate The Lion Ser Whitesteel, I'm sure you will regret it. A Lannister always pays his debt." Jaime Lannister replied and pressed his attack.

Alban skillfully block the attack and the sparing continued. But in the end Jaime Lannister lost his balance and fall to the ground. And Alban put his training sword to his throat. " Maybe not today Ser Jaime. But I will wait for that day to come and collect that debt. Though you'll have to pay a lot. Because the debt is getting bigger each day."

Alban smiled and gave him a hand. Jaime Lannister took the help and smiled. At first Jaime was very angry at the knight. Because of the humiliation, to regain his pride he challenged him every day. But as the time passed by he found some form of mutual respect and friendship because their similar age.

Then Ser William Darry clapped his hand, "Hm.. good fight both you."

Then he looked at Alban " Your very skilled Ser Alban, Not many could matched against Ser Jaime. Accept the Kingsguards. And To whom did you aquired such knowledge?"

Alban replied, " I learned the basics from my father. Though the rest is self thought Ser Darry."

" Your father ! Ah yes... I can see the resemblance. Raymond Flowers was It ?"

" yes... Ser Darry".

" Yes, I remember him. A good man he was. A true Gold amongst the Goldcloaks. I believe he would be very proud of you." Sr Darry told Alban.

" Thank you for your praise Ser William" Alban replied.

Then from the audience another man approached. He looked very similar to the Targaryens. Ah yes... Alban remembered that he's from house Velaryon.

Lord Lucerys velaryon, master of ships and admiral of the Royal Fleet.

He looked at Jaime, " Ser Jaime. His grace wants your presence. Please leave immediately."

Jaime Lannister seems like he wants to protest. But with a heavy Sigh, he left the courtyard.

Then the master of ships acknowledged my presence and looked towerds Ser Darry, " Ser Darry, Their is a meeting in the small council and your presence is needed. Please come with me, It is getting late."

Ser Darry acknowledged his words and both left the courtyard.

Then another person approached Alban, Though this person is a young woman and gave him a towel. Alban greatfully took it, and introduced himself, "Thank you my lady, I'm Ser Alban Whitesteel. Though I apologize.. I do not know yours!"

As Alban observed the young woman Who is blushing Red. Maybe it took her a lot of courage to approach him.

Though she timidly replied, " Your welcome. I...I am Falyse Stokeworth Ser." After that she ran off, without saying another word. With a puzzled look Alban watched her as she vanished from the courtyard.

Then Alfy put a hand on his solder, " Hm... I think the lady wants some company Ser Alban!!"

Alban removed his with annoyance, " oh shut up.. I know what she wants. let's go I think the kitchen staff has prepared our breakfast"

Well, We are having very good time here in the Red keep. The Servants prepares our food and Wash our clothes. Then rest of the day watching some court officials do some court politics in the throne room. In the morning sparing with rest of guards and that Lannister.

And our sparing brought some good amount of entertainment for the court ladies as well.

There is a little shortage of Men around here. Because a lot of them is gone to the Riverland. To put down the rebellion.

This are the daily routine of Ser Alban Whitesteel and his friend Ser Alfred Lance.

But everything is about to change......

( 283 AC,. 2 weeks after the battle of the Trident in kingslanding.)

Alban is currently walking around in the Maegor's Holdfast and because he in charge of It. The king has given him the duty to guard the hostages. Those hostage are king's very own good daughter and grandchildrens.

By this act, he showed his court that he lost the last sense of his sanity.

It happened yesterday. The news of the Trident arrived. The subjugation forces lost the battle against the Rebels. And the prince is dead along with the Men that followed him to the Riverland. We also learned some new names that fought in the battle. To me and my friend Alfy at least it's not. Because we know who is this eagle knight that defeated Ser Barristan selmy.

Everyone in the Red keep was shoked by the News that their beloved prince is dead And the Kingsguards. Queen Rehalle was first to cry from the News. she is Truly in a miserable state, Mentally and psychically. She did not looked much better than any woodwitch.

But reaction of king was much more different. He's behavior become even worse.

And after receiving the News, what did the king do in this situation?

The answer is blaming, he blamed the his officials. He blamed the lords, his own counselor !!! He blamed his Old friends son Jaime Lannister because he's father did not send any help. The young kingsguard knight was very angry, And kept his hand on the sword. I thought with little more push, he will use that any moment.

I could only pity the Lannister, Because it's not he's fault that his father Tywin Lannister did not answer the king's call. In my opinion After so many humiliation nobody would want to do anything with the king. If I were his place I would join the Rebels.

After blaming Tywin Lannister, He started to put all the blame on Dorne. And He proclaimed that the Dorne have betrayed his son And joined the Rebels.

But the Two Messengers that brought the News reported to the court that the dornish forces fought more valiantly then any other. But the king do not care about the truth And because of that the king burned the Two Messengers alive and called them traitor.

And that day, Me and my friend Alfy watched our first time how the mad king burns whom he sees as a criminal.

Truth to be told, the rumors of king's madness cannot hold a candle against watching it with my own eyes.

As we the audience watched in horror how painfully people dies by the wildfire. But only king is the one that was having fun watching someone burned alive. their agony gives the king some kind of hidden pleasure.

After burning them.. king Aerys Targaryen summoned the dornish princess and her children. And scolded her to an extent, that brought her to tears. The king make it seems like everything is her fault.

But we all know that she is the one who Lost the most in this family of madness. She lost her husband and her uncle and ten thousand of her countrymen. The only people that could shield her from the King is gone. The dornish princess is still grieving her husband and Her uncle.

Nobody spoke a word in her defense. In fear of burned alive.

Then after humiliating her, The king ordered to looked her and hers children in this Holdfast. Until her brothers come over to the capital.

And gave me the duty to guard the Dornish princess. Although the king referred them as hostage. The dornish princess was very hostile towards me at first, So I had to give her some assurance that I was one of her husband's loyal men So I am no danger to her or her children. The princess still holding a little suspicion but the no longer a hostile one.

Truth to be told, Five years ago I regularly watched prince Raegar playing his harp in streets for the smallfolks. Me and my brother admired him when we were little. But Who would've guessed that the crown prince is more mentally ill then his father.

Oh... I reached Alfy's post. hmm... what is that noise ? it's sounds like someone is having sex.. So I knoked the door, " Oi... Alfy. you in there ?"

Then Alfy answered, " is that you Alban...c could wait for moment?I... it's almost over."

What over? is he having sex on the duty ? if this news reached the king he would burn us alive (Sigh) . Then few moments later the door opened, And a half naked woman ran from the room as her life depends on it. She didn't have the time to put on her clothes properly.

Alban recognized the woman, But right now he has far more important things to discuss,

"Hey, put some clothes on, And What the fuck were you doing? That's princess Elia's Handmaiden your were fucking you idiot ! Do you know the concequences of your action?"

Alfy put his shirt and lazily replied, " Well, the the King would have me burn even without good reason anyway. So at least I'm giving him a good reason for my execution hahaha."

The reply made Alban more angry, " Don't laugh you imbecile. It's not funny, But the question is how the Hell did you managed to get that woman to your bed?"

Alfy smiled at the question, " Well, Wyla is very attractive mind you, she is more beautiful than that Stokeworth lady you visit in the night. Oh... don't deny it Alban I know what goes under the sheets. The time you were spending with the spider varys. I on the other hand... using my time's productively. You know !...hanging around with Ser Alan for so many years I've learned some tricks as well. So what's the plan ? what do you want to talk about that you couldn't wait for a few hours?"

Alban sighed softly, " I give the you the duty to guard princess Rhaenys, Not to fuck her caretaker. So where is the little princess anyway?"

Alfy replied, " She's in the garden. playing with the cat of hers."

" Yes the mighty balerion the black dread." Alban answered. Both men laughed.... It's sounds very funny for cat named after A dreadful dragon.

Then Alfy looked Serious, " The Targaryens are finished. There is no help will be coming for them. We must leave the capital as soon as we can before it's too late."

Alban answered," you don't need to remind me that ! I know. I spoken with lord varys he agreed to help us. But I will have to do some work for him as well."

" I don't trust The eunuch." Alfy told him.

" So do I . But he has something that far more valuable to me and my family."

Alfy asked" What is this far more valuable things? what is it that you have to do for him get it ?"

Alban smiled, " Well, let me explain. All I have to do is escort little Aegon Targaryen to John Conninton who is currently in exile. And Lord varys promised that he will give me the last surviving Blackfyre."

Alfy looked confused, " But the Blackfyre's are dead or so I've heard. But what does that have to do with anything. It doesn't make sense."

Alban answered, " Yes I have heard that too, But not all of them is dead. Only two of them is still alive. Lord varys told me her location, She is currently married to the magister of pentos. Though she is dead but left a child... a boy."

Alfy took his time to digest the words, " So that makes the boy from a female line. And why do you believed that the spy master is telling the truth? What do you gain from it ?"

Alban smirked at his ignorant friend, " I Believed him because he's a Blackfyre himself. And the reason is my ancestor Aegor bittersteel fought his entire life to put a Blackfyre on the iron throne. So my plan is to continue my family legacy. I'll go to essos and Join the Golden company Slowly Took over it's highest position and the trust of those men's . I will also raise the Blackfyre child to become a proper King. The iron throne is belongs them."

Then Alfy asked, " But what about Ser Alan. Ain't he supporting the Baratheons? Are you going to betray Him?"

Alban rolled his eyes, " No you idiot. Listen carefully. I killed Ser Daenys and Almost killed Hoster Tully. if I stay here then Ser Alan will get exposed. So I found another goal. And you won't understand the greater plan. So do as I say."

Alfy replied, " if your going to ask me Join you as well ? then I refuse."

" No. you have a different task. You'll take Princess Rhaenys to Bravos to my mother. And she can take care of the rest. Oh.... you can take the handmaiden and The cat as well." He told him.

Alfy understood, " What about princess Elia ?"

Alban , " She will be devastated being separated from her children. But it's the only way, We can't take her with us. Her children's are a threat to others, she is not. And I will inform you our next plan tomorrow. So stay alert."
