Long Live The King

Chapter One

Seven years had passed since the Greyjoy Rebellion, also known as the Wolf Massacre or the Rising of the Wolf, due to the massacre caused by the North in that rebellion, 11 houses of the Iron Islands became extinct for trying to confront the naval and military force that the North possessed. As expected, fear was present, but even more so when it became known that Lord Stark executed Lord Bolton for treason, the complaints of the other lords were not long in coming, everyone went to King's Landing to claim what Lord Stark did, extinguish one of the oldest houses in all of Westeros. But the crown was not going to be able to punish anyone, since Lord Stark followed the rules of the north, and Robert was King of the seven kingdoms. However, he still had to respect the rule of each kingdom. More so that of the north currently, even Jon who wanted to see the way to get Harry out of the way had his hands tied in this event, since the Boltons were his spies in the north, they were going to be able to rise in rebellion to be able to affect the advance of the north. Still, they were not discovered and Harry showed that he was not a pious person.

After that, the North closed itself off completely, 7 years since anything was heard from the North again, 7 years since most of the kingdoms tried to sneak a spy into the kingdom but without any sign, since the spies did not return and neither were their heads sent to the lord's door as they used to do before. For Jon, that was bad because it meant that the North was advancing again, creating new tools that they could not reach and were only going to destroy any possible enemy army. It was very bad, but this was the opportunity to find out what the hell was going on in the North, Robert was invited to the North, of course, he was going to go, it had been a long time since he had seen his best friend, that's why he was in the front row to see everything in detail what the North had at the moment and if he could plan something to make it clear that he was the person who commanded the kingdom. Unfortunately for him, Tywin Lannister also came on this trip, the golden lion was and is a headache during all this time, in all the meetings that the royal council had, Tywin won them all, they did what he said, displacing his power, it was something that he could not allow even if the economy of the kingdom was good.

The lions and the wolves had a good relationship, too good for Jon, that friendship helped the crown to postpone the payment of the debt that the crown had with the Stark family of Winterfell. Paying fifty million gold dragons was a lot for the crown, so the crown was looking for a way to pay that debt without going into another debt, it was something that Tywin thought through very well. The crown could not get out of one debt and go into another and since it was practically impossible to pay that amount of gold, even if it was done in installments, it was better to reach an agreement between both parties, that was why Tywin was in this place. In addition, he wanted to speak with his ally about some very important issues, such as the marriage between his grandson and heir Tommen and the last daughter of Eddard Stark, he wanted to meet her to see if she was worthy of carrying the Lannister name. Although Tywin did not come alone, his youngest son and his wife came with him, Tyrion although he was a dwarf which was the only displeasure Tywin had about his youngest son, he proved to be the most efficient of his sons, apparently he was not wrong in letting his son marry Tysha, the girl was very efficient, more than his daughter.

Tyrion had to admit that the natural defenses of the North were good, this fog was truly annoying, and from what he was seeing the lake that divided the North from the other kingdoms was infested with crocodiles, whichever madman tried to cross that lake, and get to the other end was going to have a statue in the royal council, since it was something that many of the council wanted to do, someone to enter the North to find out what the hell was going on. But the fog began to disappear, and everyone saw the castle that was in front, Moat Cailin, it was claimed that Moat Cailin dates back about 10,000 years ago, by the First Men, and that it was the responsibility of Brandon the Builder. It was a great fortress, with twenty towers and a great black basalt wall as high as Winterfell. It used to be the key to the defense of the North against which the Andal armies launched themselves again and again without success. According to myth, the Children of the Forest attempted to use Moat Cailin to stem the onslaught of invasions by the First Men using their powerful magic from one of the towers. When this failed due to the sheer number of invading humans, the Children attempted to break the Neck and completely separate the North from the South in the same way they shattered the Broken Arm of Dorne centuries before.
