Journey to King's Landing
The trip was quiet, no one wanted to mess with 200 soldiers armored from head to toe, and even less when they saw the flag of my house since the war we had gained a fearsome reputation.
There were rumors that our soldiers did not feel fear or pain, they were dead themselves or trained by the warrior himself, in addition to the gifts we carried several tons of canned food and dried meats to distribute at the king's landing, we arrived at the king's gate and we waited for the entrance permit, soon the golden cloaks let us pass, and we marched to the royal palace.
Robert was upset, he didn't like his wife, he didn't feel anything for her, she was beautiful but he needed Lyanna, she was his everything and he had lost it, a soldier of the golden cloaks reported that 200 soldiers of the Trant house were at the royal door For their wedding, Robert yelled to let them in, it was one of the most loyal houses in existence and no one had to mess with them, they all saw first-hand their military might.
Several lords in the throne room murmured in fear, they had all seen the merits of the house, before long a well-dressed woman arrived in an emerald green outfit, black hair that could take the breath away from anyone next to her, Ser Dulan and Ser Davos.
Robert gulped in his mind expelling the idea of seducing lady trant, Dulan could make him mush effortlessly just like the bloody dancer, from Lady Trant's Hand, her little son, hell he thought Robert looks like a 7 or 8-year-old, tall with some hints of muscles, good looking cropped hair and sharp features, emerald green eyes that penetrated the very soul.
Robert looked at them and felt only love and affection from the child, something that made him happy, the child walked with his mother and knelt down
Adrián Trant, from Casa Trant, pays his respects to the King and Queen of the seven kingdoms, my house brings you gifts for your majesty's wedding, his voice is strong, but at the same time, it is soft as if someone were playing the harp.
For her majesty we gave her 30 barrels of our best liquors, Robert's eyes lit up he loved his alcohol it was more delicious than the best wines, for the Queen they brought her a beautifully decorated box, and the queen looked with disgust at the box that could give her a minor house of some shitty islands.
I ask King Robert to let me approach him to deliver his present Robert, he laughed and allowed me to approach, he first saw the contents of the box and his eyes jumped out and said.
Robert: Little one are you sure to give this to him, it's amazing a piece of art itself. They are much better quality than the ones that damn dragon wore on the armor.
Tywin looked at us warily wondering what would be the gift that he would put Robert in that way of being so surprised.
Adrian: Yes, your majesty, unfortunately, we are a minor house and we cannot honor your majesty as we should, excuse us that we can only give you this, immediately after giving the box to Robert and he opens it in front of everyone, a silence filled the room, the women sighed with delight.
Cersei's eyes were open in surprise, the finest and most elegant necklace she had ever seen with rubies, diamonds, and gold, she was surprised the child liked her gift and she had to say that the child was good-looking and had excellent manners. (image comments)
Tywin smart boy, he acted moderate with his house and offered something unique, he knows how to use language and words to convince people, in addition, his military power is not a joke an alliance with him would be beneficial and a couple of spies on his island will serve right.
The wedding took place was quiet, mostly days after the wedding, Robert asked us what merits we wanted for the war, my mother asked that they let us take the orphans and war widows to the island to take care of them, and the nobles Surprised, Robert thought, the new coinmaster Petyr Baelish, the biggest meat dealer in all the kingdoms, said it was a good way to ease their post-war economic burdens.
Robert agreed to this, he knew the Trant house well and asked what they planned to do, my mother replies that the war widows be taught to sew, make canned food wines, and spirits, and the children will be able to work when they reach the right age, they could join army training, be farmers or farmers even healers. Robert, listening to the training, remembered that the boy had started training to use weapons, so he called Dulan and asked
Robert: Dulan the boy started the training he is already 4 years old from what I remember you said that they would start training him and leave the formalities of my king and others, He spoke without any formality he had been a war partner and knew him well.
Dulan: Indeed they started a few moons ago to train the use of the dagger.
Robert: Hmm, give me an idea how about testing it against some noble's son?
Dulan: I like the majesty of him, boy get ready.
Adrian, sighed and nodded, everyone present went to the training wing to see the boy fight, Robert had chosen a boy of about 12 or 13 years as an opponent he had a shield and sword, and Jammie Lannister was the judge of the confrontation
Adrian took a stance with two daggers, his opponent with his shield and sword, adrián moved first, he went quite fast for the tendons of the legs and the Achilles tendon, the blow would make him lose the ability to move his legs,
Jammie noticed where he was aiming and thought, no kidding, he knows how to use daggers and he's fast, Adrián hit his sinews with the wooden weapons, and Jammie yelled pointing to Adrián Trant.
incapacitated enemy, salute the crowd, and retreat to one side for the next round, the boy got angry, he was losing his calm, he decided to play with the elusive sword with a few quick movements, he attacked his dominant hand with one of the daggers and the next one to the neck, Jammie again said point for Young Adrián, he was impressed with her handling of the knives was fluid.
Robert was laughing, the kid was well trained not many kids have that speed, mobility, and combat sense, he knew the hell he had to be going through to get to that level, Dulan by his side just managed to say.
pff the boy is green I will have to increase his training, Robert thought he was joking, but when he saw his face he knew that it was not a joke the boy would go through a butcher shop, he swallowed saliva mentally apologizing to the poor boy who was preparing for the last meeting.
Adrian had a plan, he would go through the opponent's legs he would cut his legs, and cross the daggers in his throat, in the corner Adrian was moving the daggers in his hand rotating them in circles with his fingers, Jammie saw this and said he is distracting the boy he wants me to he blurs and goes for a target but what, Adrian's gaze took a look at the enemy's legs and Jammie noticed, smart boy, will go for the legs and finish him off.
Adrian threw the first dagger hard at the boy's legs, he laughed and insulted him for his aim, but Adrian ran smiling and slid down his legs grabbing the dagger he threw, cutting his legs and crossing both daggers on his neck.
Jammie was impressed not many can do that, nor could he at the age of 4, the boy knew how to fight, he already understood a little the rumors of the soldiers of the Trant house that they were monsters in Dwarf Dulan with their giant war club, and the Ashen Blood Dancer.
if they taught the boy he would be a fearsome enemy, Robert asked why daggers and not a sword Dulan replied.
that it would be foolish to give a 4-year-old a sword he will not have enough strength to handle it and daggers would give him good sense in a fight besides I would start with daggers, I would continue with a spear and trident, a bow and finally a shield and sword, that finished off everything. The boy seemed older, but he was only 4 years old.
the lords were open-mouthed, everyone assumed that the little boy was older and not so tender, and many lords began to plan marriages or alliances with the Trant house. Ser Barristan looked amazed at the child's ingenuity and agreed, Ser Dulan, what training does young Trant undergo, he asked?.
Dulan answers: a light training begins by running 15 laps around a track, carrying 15 Kilograms or 33.0693 Pounds, although he started with 10 kilograms or 22.0462 Pounds and increased his weight and at the beginning, there were 10 laps around the track, after the laps, he touches Do squats about 20, then sit-ups 20, push-ups another 20, planks another 20, stretch your body and then train your arm strength, with each arm you have to carry 10 kilograms or 22 pounds.
everyone looked at Dulan with a surprised face that inhuman training was undergoing the child, he only replies that the training is basic and will increase over time.
Pov Tywin
The boy knows how to fight quite well, he has a good head I noticed it when I saw him giving gifts to Robert not only were they fanfare they also said look I have incredible riches they handled the high-quality alcohol trade and now those jewels and handicrafts, his mother was at the margin, they have a powerful army we have to ally with the marriage partner may be some Lannister girl or if Cersei had a daughter we could offer her marriage with the crown, Robert would not refuse, he has a friendship with that Dwarf.
Party in the evening
Robert organized a banquet on the wedding night to celebrate, surprisingly there were the Tyrell and the Martell the queen of thorns had come in person without his son Mace and Dorne sent Oberyn the red snake.
This will be interesting thought Adrián, if I'm honest I already know why the crown was screwed up, Robert was never instructed in how to manage expenses, he's like a child in the candy store and the child has all the money available, he was sitting in the farthest part of the room, it was suffocating, I stood followed by Ashen and they left to take a breath, he had not noticed Varys the spider that came to where he was.
Varys: Damn it looks like the little boy can't handle the luxuries of the party, I comment sarcastically.
Adrián: On the contrary, Lord Varys, this saddens me but that only one more wedding is celebrated if the wedding of a king, but there are better places to invest money and I proceed to point towards the city.
Varys: Yes, my little birds say that your men distributed food, blankets, and medicine in the name of the king, but why?
Adrián: and why not, Varys, in this world some are born to feast and others spend their lives in the dark begging for leftovers, but I don't want that anymore, I don't want to see children dying of hunger anymore, I'm tired of seeing mothers selling themselves for a little food, sick people when they can be healed.
That we are the nobles, only people who by chance were born nobles or the effort that led us to our positions, Varys looked surprised at the Child, his words had a pearl of wisdom behind them, only if he had a little royal blood in him. his veins and not Robert thought, how different everything would be.
Varys: Let's say if he were the king how would he change things.
Adrián: it's simple Varys, the power scheme is always a pyramid at the bottom there are always the commoners and at the top, the King, just turn it around, the people do not serve the King, the King serves the people, improve first the sewage systems, extend them, order the sectors of the city and renovate them, seek to reduce the unemployment of the common people and reduce their taxes, drowning them with them will only be worse, the crown should prepare farmland, textile factories, and more businesses.
they will take a part of it as rent for the land and the rest to men as a means of payment, having uncirculated currency is stupid you can be as rich as the Lannisters, but if you don't invest in profitable businesses that gold will drown you.
then remove all the human shit Thieves, rapists, corrupt golden cloaks, coin masters who rob the people, demons even religion look at them preaching things that they do not comply with, corrupt in sin and gold.
Varys nodded: Interesting ideas you could propose to the King, but I doubt you'll be considered.
Adrián laughed and said: Yes, I doubt it a lot, but it's okay if I can help the people from the shadows, for me, we are all the same, in the end, we have the same destiny.
