Reborn as Tyrion lanister

Chapter 4: Business



As we see the dornish fleet besieging storms end, Ellia points out at a sleek smaller ship beside the flagship. She tells me that it is her brother Obryn's personal ship and he might be there.

I write a letter and send my raven asking for parley with obryn martell. The raven returns saying they will only allow one person on board. I take one of the smaller life boats from the ship and go to Obryn's ship.

I ask for privacy and he dismissed everyone else taking me seriously due to me being a kings guard. I tell him of Ellia and of kings landing blowing up. He wants to meet her and I agree, I just tell him that her and her children's best safety for now is to remain dead in people's eyes, to avoid threat to they children.

He sends away the war crew, only keeping his most loyal and steers his ship to my ship. He enters my ship and hugs his sister and her children while sobbing.

I hand over her custody to Obryn and discuss the future. I tell him that I'm going to tower of joy because I suspect my other brothers of kings guard are there. The Prince was known to frequent that place. I think the remaining kingsguard are there.

They want to come with me , so we go there. Tower of joy isn't coastal, but it is on the bank of a river. Both our ships are small enough that we make it to their closest point.

There we meet three kingsguard and lyanna Stark. Ellia was about to bitchslap lyanna, but Arthur dayne stopped her, telling her that lyanna is pregnant. Lyanna is very sad and depressed that the whole war happened because of her.

We all go to sunspear, where we sent a letter to the new King telling him that his sister is in Dorn, but is very sick so cannot travel. If he wishes to meet her, he can only do so in her chambers.

Ed rushes to Dorn, handing his duties to jon Arryn for the moment. He is told that only he and medics are allowed in his sister's room so his guards stay outside her room while he meets her.

He finds out the whole truth and is mad at his sister but seeing her so depressed, he decided to not push it. He asks her what she wanted to do with her child. She says it depends on how he looks. If he has stark looks, she would love for him to grow up in Winterfell. If he looks too much Targaryen, it might be best for him to grow in Essos.

Kings landing is in ashes, but it's castle is still standing. By the time Ed reaches back, the castle has been cleaned up of ashes and repairs are underway.

Since coming to kings landing, I had been converting all the gold I made into buying valaryan steel trinkets, drum ,small bracelets and cutlery on the black markets. I had to even pay premium because of the ongoing war.

But it was still more reliable to carry this than gold, which would slow the ship . A small necklace can be as expensive as a warship, so I was able to condense a lot of my wealth into easy to carry light metal for easier travel.

I tell Ellia that I wish to leave the service of kingsguard. When my brothers tried to call me oathbreaker, I tell them that atleast my charge is still alive. I further tell them that by being in Dorne, they will bring trouble here for Ellia since the cover up is that she is dead.

Furthermore, I tell them that the king I took oath to no longer exists, his kingdom no longer exist. I remind them his I'm only 15 right now and how Aerys forced me into kings guard after the tournament.

We had recieved the news that Targaryens had gone to esoss so I suggested my brothers to go there and not bring more attention to Dorne.

I then went to bravos and leveraged all my valaryan steel for loan. This will keep my stuff safe, while allowing me to invest further. I buy a few ships and start a trading fleet. Usually, the flagship of a fleet is largest, for protection, but my fleet's flagship is my small personal ship, because of its speed. My boat acts more like a scout.

Rest of the ships were all meant for cargo, but were lined with many balistas on each side to project power. With my warging abilities, it is unusual for me to be surprised by enemy, so I always get the first shot.

The fleet made up of a total of three Galleys and my speed yatch. Each ship was captained by one of my maids while Maggie remained in the smaller ship with me. Each galley had a crew of 8 people, rest was filled with cargo. This meant that I could not use. Galley's main feature of using oars to steer the ship, but a crew of 8 was just enough to operate the sails.

I would often warg into crow and roam around different markets and bazaars of the world to figure out the best commodity trades. In two months, I'm back to bravos after a successful trading expedition.

I quickly repay my loan and take back the valarian steel from iron back. During my travels, I came across a jeweller in pentos that can reforged valarian steel into jewellery. I had already talked to him, and he will teach me how it's forged in exchange for valarian steel.

I give him my valarian steel cutlery set and he is amused. This one I had stolen from the Targaryen collection while working as thier body guard.

While I finished up with the bank, the girls finished selling the goods we brought here. I had already asked the girls to fill up our cargo with wine and rum. I know through my bird's that a local festival is upcoming in pentos, bravosi rum will sell really well this time of the year.

After learning from the master jeweller, I found out that the key to reforging valarian steel is animal sacrifice.

Over the years, I turned pentos into a base for my logistics business earning myself nobility in the city. I owned many businesses there, but my largest were my shipping business, my ship building business and my blacksmith business.

I use the blacksmith business to buy up any valarian steel that comes in the market. I have even put up my Mech-gun for sale. It is just as powerful as a bow, but had much higher rate is fire due to being magazine fed. The other benefit of my version is that it can shoot smaller darts ( bullets) , which packs the same piercing power, but takes less space in logistics.

It's main con Is that it is harder to maintain for to added complexity to the mechanism. That's only a benefit to me as the parts eventually wear out, they will have to buy spare parts from me. While others may be able to replicate some aspects of my gun, I can make them faster and cheaper due to our secret technique of using wildfire in casting process.

My whole merchant fleet is equipped with this weapon. Speaking of , I use my ship building business to create mech powered ships.

They were just normal gallys that were equipped with my propeller system. Ships normal movement under Sail power or Oar's power will charge the propeller as if turning the keys to a toy. When the captain orders, this charge can be used at any time to turn the propeller , which can boost the ships acceleration for a duration.

My fleet crew is trained in my mech-guns and are strong enough to be used for loading and unloading cargo. Wherever they are not on lookout or on rest, they are practice rowing the boat with long Oars, training their arms while also charging the propeller.

Most of my fleet is made of freed slaves who volunteered. I've actually become quite famous for it. It's a very famous even by now, every few months, I buy sex slaves from lys and free them. They are offered a job in any of my companies. Former sex slaves make great salesmen, so most choose to become part of the trading fleet.

Some went to their favourite clients, some of them even got married. Some choose to become my maids. I told everyone what it entails. My maids are extension of myself, like my hand. If I can fuck my hand whenever, I can fuck my maid wherever. But being my maid is also the most prestigious position after me. They are equivalent to army officers, while the other crew are like army enlisted memebers. It's not easy to become my maid, they have to be approved of by all existing maids to become one.

I export my mech guns throughout the world throught my fleet. After delivery, they buy local goods for import . Most my officers in the ship know general prices of goods and often get the best deals.

....

7 years after Eddard became king.

I'm the richest man in the world. The world knows my name, my products, my brands and they know me. And I know the world.

In westeros, after Ed Stark became the king, he married my Sister Cercie and already had 2 stark kids and are happily married. My brother Jamie married Lysa Tully and already has 2 kids. By now they think of each other as good friends and both have lovers on the side that they know about. He is now lord of Castlely Rock.

Jon Arynn is married to Catlyn Tully. He already has 2 kids with her too. They are happily married, despite the age difference. As wife to the hand of the king, her nobility was as high as could be, other than the Queen.

One who may have once lived as Jon snow now lives as Johan Dayne. Alleged bastard of Brandon Stark and Ashara Dayne. His actual mother Lyanna stark took the black and joined the knights watch.

Her brothers, the king and the warden of the north, decided to refurbishe one of the castles for nights watch. This one would be near bear Island, which was known to always be under the wilding threat.

The new castle of the nights watch would have protection of bear Island,and would provide bear Island with an added security point against wildings. The king even request that maester aemon of castle black give his duties to his successor and move to the new castle called Westwatch as it's maester. It was joint to the sea and even had a dock.

Jeor Mormont actually joined as the commander of newly established Westwatch. His son was already the lord and he was getting old. He wanted to bring further honour to his clan by committing to this duty.

Lyanna had actually started a trend. Now female criminals often took the black to avoid punishment. They join Westwatch. This doesn't mean Westwatch is female only, but the rapists and murdurers shouldn't exceed their numbers.

My spys tell me that it has had transformative effect on the culture of westeros. Now a man is more afraid to rape a woman , since if she kills him, she doesn't have to prove the rape if she takes the black cloak and joins Nights watch at Westwatch.

Robert Baratheon took the news of lyanna stark joining the Nights watch badly. He understood that she was kidnapped and raped and that her family was killed, she blames herself for the war. He took an oath to never marry, out of his love for lyanna. He still became the lord of stormlands, with Stanis as his heir. He has many basterds.

Lord Tully, Arynn and Lanister were glad that they choose Eddard stark as the king when they saw how much Robert was running the Stormlands into the ground and was deep in prostitutes.

It got so bad that Eddard had to ask Robert to join his inner council and become his master of law, to police Kingslanding and get away from Stormland. Stanis was a much better lord and warden of Stormlands.

Dorne had kept it's princely privileges, for cooperation in rescuing lyanna. They also had to secretly commit to Eddard that Johan Dayne and Ariana Martel will marry when they come of age to retain this tax privilege. This will make Johan a prince consort of Dorne in the future.

Benjen stark had married Joanna Tyrell to appease Reach for their help with War. He was a competent lord. The new trade partnership between Reach and North is bringing prosperity to both.

With his in-law's influence, Benjen had started building a small merchant fleet ,put under bear Island's control to cover his western coast and trade with lanisters of Westerland. He even got his brother, the king and the king's father in law to sponsor some of it. The merchant Navy would be able to support Westwatch better afterall.

The Targaryens have been brought to pentos by my agents and are now under my protection. I've gifted them a mansion and some servants. I became a sugar daddy to Rhaella Targaryen. She was very grateful as she showed in bed.

She and I had started a relationship when I was kingsguard. Whenever the king would try to torture her, I would get a raven to enter from the window to interrupt them and enter myself too guard the king from the raven. The king would be embarassed and afraid of the raven and ask me to deal with it as he runs away from his wife's chambers. That's when I would make love to his wife.

I send king Eddard a letter that Step stones has been a vessel of piracy. Technically it should be under his control, but since he can't control it, I will take over it. I give him a year to take control of his lands or I'll do it.
