Reborn in Westros

Chapter Fifteen: The Competition Part Two

Today was the next part of the competition, I was excited because I had set my guards to ask the questions while I observed without these men knowing.

It would give me a chance to see them around my people, I could not risk being with someone who showed me one face and everyone else another.

We set up special tents that we created so I could hide.
I set them up with people who might have an issue with them for one reason or another, so the list was as follows.

Small Jon Umber - Loras Tyrell
Dylan Greyjoy - Brienne of Tarth
Ryland Royce - Jeahaerys Stark-Targaryen
Hector Arryn- White Rat
Jamie Lannister - Mayce Rider
Alarik Karstark- Obara Martell
Willas Tyrell- Robb Stark
Oberyn Martell- Tharos
Leyland Bracken- Delia Umber
Tormund giantsbane- Dacey Mormont

I tried to match them to people they might have a problem with, such as the most sexist one with women, the ones who have problem with baseborn, etc.

We held one meeting at a time, while I hid behind the dark partion, you could not tell with how we set the entire room up but heard Loras coming and offering small Jon offering him a seat.

They asked when I was getting there but was informed that it would be just them as he asked the questions.
Jon answered the questions really well and was a very smart man but he seems to have a real problem with Loras being a Southerner being so close to a Northern lady but Loras seem to take no offence to it and just smiled at Jon.
After they left, I took some notes and finished as Brienne and Dylan came in.
Let me tell you, it did not go well, Dylan offered to take Brienne as his salt wife after he had me under his control.
Brienne beat a lesson into him that he will most likely never forget.
Ryland Royce was brought in next with Jea, and that did not go well either, putting Jea down saying that he will ensure Jea and any baseborn are thrown from Mount Cailin once he was Lord.
Jea just asked the questions, and Ryland did not answer most of them, thinking he did not need to as that was what stewards were for.
Apparently, he lacked any sort of work ethic, and his long list of lovers did not help his case at all.
Hector Arryn came in next, he answered the questions and when asked if he was willing to leave the eyrie behind, he said that he was not because his home was at the eyrie but any child they had would be Lord of Mount Cailin.
He was not keen on any of his children born in the North or raised in the ways of the old gods. He was devout in his belief of the Seven.
That was sad as he seemed really nice, but I do not want to live at the eyrie nor give up who I am.
Jamie Lannister was next, I gave him a different set of questions as I knew from the books that he had trouble with reading growing up, I knew that was most likely dyslexia.
He answered the questions well and asked some of his own, he seems really engaging and got on well with Mayce.
Alarik was next, I gave him Obara because she seems to be the one he spent the least amount of time around, he answered the questions, then they talked about battle plans for an hour before ending it. I could not help but giggle.

Willas Tyrell came next. He was the same as Jamie and Alarik . He answered the questions in a timely manner but asked some of his own and acknowledged moving to Mount Cailin for a while and offered a chance to see some of high garden too.
He struck up a good repore with Robb, and that was good because my twin needed more friends.
Oberyn came in next, he answered the questions then they both started drinking, they went in so long I had to get someone to move them.
I had to fight off a laugh at most of the things they said, Oberyn could definitely be a great drinking buddy, and he experience in sex would be useful, but I would worry about catching an STI.

Then there was Leyland Bracken, and he answered the questions but was also really quiet. He stated after a while,  that he did enter as his father pressured him and was in love with another but asked they take her in as she was a commoner and would not be safe from his father.

I smiled that he did what he could to save the woman he loves.

Last was Tormund, he was so very sweet but he was struggling with the finer aspects of being a Lord that did more than hunting, fucking and fighting.

Once the interviews were done, we held some sporting events which went well with the visit lords, they had a mixture of rewards, not just money but nights with good brothel or a date with certain ladies.

It was a great hit. Later that evening, after much consideration, we had a meal with all present, during this event I announced the winners from round two.

"Good evening all, the men who have passed to the next round are Alarik Karstark, Jamie Lannister, Willas Tyrell, and Oberyn Martell.
I thank you for all the others who have participated so far, and I hope you enjoy the feast."

Men from their respective parties went crazy , yelling out in joy that their companion were one step closer to having my hand in marriage.
Some of the men did not take it well, but when they discovered what I had done, they went a bit pale in the face.
I just smiled at them and carried on. Things were only going to get more intense tomorrow for round three.
