Chapter Five

Harry was quiet on the throne of the north, thinking, the north was not a kingdom where the most political was respected, but the strongest, currently the most powerful force is House Stark, so the other houses followed it.

House Stark had the fewest enemies in its kingdom, only two were a nuisance in the north where the most prominent were the Boltons, for a long time the red kings are the most important rival of the Kings in the North, the Starks of Winterfell. As red kings, the Boltons had some victories over the Starks, even flaying some of them, then hanging their bodies from the walls of their fortress.

About a thousand years ago, the Boltons finally swore allegiance to the Kings in the North and agreed to abandon the practice of flaying their enemies. However, some three hundred years later, they raised a revolt against the Starks of Winterfell. The Stark armies besieged Fort Dread for some years and the Boltons finally capitulated and swore allegiance once again, but that allegiance was because they had no other way, they could not beat the Starks, and Harry was not going to allow the Boltons to have power, for that reason, they were going to take away the title of the second most powerful in the North, he was going to bring that house down.

And the second nuisance was the Whitehills, the most loyal vassals to the Boltons their seat is the stone castle of Highpoint. They are one of the few houses in the north that practice the Faith of the Seven. Rather the only one, since the houses that were further south, stopped following that faith, to follow the old gods, their rivals are House Forrester vassal of the Glovers, with what was now on good terms since they were going to eliminate the Whitehills, that was going to bring a lot of peace to the north since those two houses were a problem. Although he implied that it was not the time.

That was the problem he had within the north, because the heads of that house were hated by their servants, little by little he was going to eliminate the Whitehills so that the Forresters would take that place, and so they could have two jobs, one is with the Glovers which was the creation of ships, and the second was the production of forests and later use in ships, since the Whitehills a lot of empty lands that could be used for planting trees.

That was his only problem, in the north, outside the north if he had many more, but with the war, and him planning and creating, there wasn't much they could do, right now people living beyond the wall, were being brought to the north.

His uncle left a week ago to transport them, a little over a day ago, he sent word that they agreed to go to Winterfell and be part of the north, and of course, he was quick to send messages to the most loyal houses in the north. That they came to know the reason for that decision, why bring savages and not make people from the South come to work, knowing that many of those cities suffered from overpopulation, and the North was going to be helping the South.

And right there was the problem, Harry couldn't afford to be a good person, because who was to say that among all the people coming in, there wasn't going to be someone who was a spy. The Southerners could not be trusted, for rich or poor, everyone thought the Northerners were savage idiots, just as they thought of the people beyond the wall. As far as the lords understood, they suffered the same as they did, there were some differences, but they both suffered.

- "Since we cleared things up, it has been almost 4 months since the beginning of the war, I have something to tell you" - Harry looked at his masters, who placed in front of everyone, some mannequins with armor, strange, but everyone thought that with the right men, they would generate respect, there were six different armors - "I want to form six armies, with the soldiers that you choose from your houses, no matter the number, you are not obliged to send many....the maximum is up to 100, but it is not obligatory" - Harry passed his eyes over each lord who looked attentively at the armors, the one that stood out the most was the Persian army, it gave a terrifying aspect and in the darkness, it would serve to camouflage - "Six new armies, like the immaculate created by Essos, we will have six armies, apart from the soldiers that each house can raise."

- "My lord...there is some reason for the creation of these new armies" - Lord Dustin spoke, it was curious that Lord Stark wanted to do that, why create new armies if he could increase the number of soldiers in each house, and the same thought of the other lords.

- "The armies of each house will increase, but I am sure you have soldiers, that you do not think are good for war, but have the desire to become warriors" - Harry knew it was true, the commanders of each army knew that there were people who were not prepared for war, mainly because of their physical condition, that could be changed - "I want to form an elite corps... I know it is a crazy thing to think, but give me the opportunity... and when I gather you all together again...I will have those men prepared."

- "If my Lord says he can make proper warriors, I trust him" - Lord Glover shouted for all the lords to look at him, they were not going to deny that because he was young Harry could think impossible things for the north, but Lord Glover believed in his lord, as never before - "I witnessed the ships Lord Stark asked me to create...and they are monstrous."

- "My Lord, I will bring you the men you need, we are the houses in charge of the northern armaments, we were able to make those armors with Lord Stark's ideas, and if he says he can make new armies I will follow him" - Lord Tallhart stood up to speak, he, as well as other lords, could see the ability Harry had to make things, ships that his very presence could make you terrified, cannons that served for ships, and for the castles of every house - "In just 3 and a half months, our Lord gave us many things. ...when this war is over...the north will have no competition... we only have to follow our Lord... no, our king."

Winterfell (Blacksmith)

Valyrian steel is the best steel that can be used to be a weapon and the most difficult to obtain, Valyrian steel swords are lighter, stronger, and sharper than even the best steel forged in a smithy with a normal iron.

According to the archmaesters, there are 227 Valyrian steel weapons left, some of which have already been lost or have disappeared from recorded history. Most of the Valyrian steel swords in Westeros are treasures of the noble houses, each with its name and history. But Mott arrived in the north and found himself with a good amount of Valyrian steel to create twelve swords, since he arrived in the north he was amazed, by the weapons they were having made, unique cannons, that the only definition that could be used when he saw them head-on was destruction.

Harry was a smart person, always overseeing things, even if he was far away, he would always find out about any mistakes, for a Qohor blacksmith who was always considered the best, to receive directions on how to create a weapon, seemed an insult, but in front of the boy, with his ideas, he had heard that the boy sent to the Tallhart blacksmiths, the order to create huge arrows, spears with double points, swords with an extremely strange handle. And he wished he was there, but he was asked to create as many swords, as possible, with the Valyrian steel he was given, and with the amount he had he was going to be able to make 12 swords.

Mott was fascinated by all the ideas that the Lord of the Stark house had, with all that he wanted to create and if it was successful he was going to win many enemies, he did not know exactly the amount of Valyrian steel swords that the north had at his disposal. But he was aware that many houses would want those swords, offering a huge amount of money, for example, what happened with the Lannisters when they lost their Valyrian steel sword and tried to buy the sword of one of the most impoverished houses of Westeros, but they refused.

That the North had Valyrian steel swords meant two things, they had plenty of money and a good smith which of course the South would try to get. Although there was another type of iron that Harry managed to get, it was a black iron, he did not deal with that iron as they were taken care of by the smiths who were at the disposal of House Tallhart, which he heard had grown much larger, now it had a total of 257 smiths working.

At that moment Marwyn entered the smithy, the guy was happy, the first time they met he was a serious guy, but being away from the citadel did him a lot of good.

- "I see you are happy about something, tell me what did our master get again" - Mott was curious, and Marwyn showed him, a bottle with a pink liquid, he didn't understand very well what was going on, it was a clear pink liquid, it didn't seem to have anything in it just a normal drink - "What is that?"

- "Complete the elixir of truth" - Marwyn was happy with his work, Harry gave him directions, only that, and nothing more than that, so the rest had to be done by him, he failed more than a dozen times until he got the result he expected - "I am sure that this...is the right one...there is no mistake it is the same color that our lord gave me."

- "Well, I'm sorry to tell you that it is not complete" - Harry entered the smithy with the lords of the Karstark house, Manderly, Umber, and Dustin, they did not know very well why they were in this place, but they followed their lord with nothing more to say - "Are the swords I asked for finished?"

- "Yes my lord...here they are" - Mott laughed because Marwyn had failed again, not because his elixir was wrong but because it was incomplete something was missing and apparently Marwyn was not realizing it, but that was a topic for another time, now he was going to show him the swords that he could finish them already - "Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff... all four swords finished" - Harry was the first to look if the swords were correctly made, he was going to realize instantly if Mott was lying, he only had to enter his mind to know his blacksmith's thoughts - "Something is wrong my lord?"

- "Excellent work Mott, excellent work" - Harry saw the sword, each sword had the names of the houses of his old school, that's why he brought them here, it was one of the things he remembered, the important thing and that he had part of the four houses in his being - "These four swords are made of Valyrian steel" - The lords were wide-eyed, for such a statement, having a Valyrian steel sword was something that all the houses wished to have - "Choose well which of the four swords you want."

The four lords stared at Harry, Valyrian steel swords were highly desired, and they did not own one, and now the king of the north was giving them the option to choose a sword of that precious material.

Harry was no fool, he was going to give swords to the most loyal lords, and he was not going to give a Valyrian steel sword to someone like Lord Bolton knowing that he was going to betray him.

Harry had planned to remove the position of the second most powerful house the Boltons possessed, now they were a nuisance in the north, but it was not time to liquidate them, they were still going to serve a purpose, if they killed them now the lords who were at war would realize that something was going on in the north, that did not have to happen. For that reason, some information ran through the corridors of Fort Terror, and he could confirm that all the servants that Lord Bolton had hated him, wanted him dead, so he made a small deal with them, Lord Bolton was going to die in a few years, where they would become servants of Lord Umber who would take the castle Fort Terror and of course, the land belonging to that house when it was extinct.

So they were going to make sure that any information that arrived at Fort Dread from the Southerners once the rebellion was over would be sent to Winterfell where Harry could see who was interested in the advances shown by the North. Because he was not an idiot, once the war was over, no one could stop the North, first of all, because all the armies lost several men and these had to increase their numbers again, secondly, the North was already going to have a long period of advantage.

It was essential that this war last at least one year, but if it lasted longer he would have no problem, he would be able to work more calmly with the North so that no one would have any rivals. But for that he had to have most of the houses united, all kingdoms always had one or several rebel houses, and those rebels could have the idea of corrupting the other houses, but that was not going to happen in the north. Harry was going to see to it that the houses and vassal houses were in perfect condition, without anyone feeling envious of the others, and generate something.

- "I leave you, I have a business to attend to with my mother" - Harry left the four lords in the smithy looking to Marwyn to keep an eye on them, which he understood perfectly, Harry now had to go to the south tower, where Elia Martell was, and her children, along with his mother and of course his adorable little sister, Harry had to work both the military and the political field. And the two women were experts in the political arena, and he had to listen to her very well, and know how to attack.

.

South Tower (Winterfell)

Elia was surprised by the letter she was reading, or rather by who the letter was sent to, it was about Tywin Lannister's youngest son, the so-called dwarf of Casterly Rock, he was betraying his father.

Well on the one hand she knew it was something to expect that Tywin never treated his third son well, but it was surprising how Harry got to him, not even his mother Ashara knew that, but perhaps the faceless killers were the ones who helped her son, from the first moment she realized that several people she never saw in Winterfell arrived after the birth of her son.

And she investigated them, she was a very cautious woman, and any danger to her son had to be eradicated, but, as her late husband told her at the birth of her son, Harry was touched by the Old Gods, and the faceless men knew that and helped her son, it was the only thing she took away since she did not want to investigate much more if they were not a threat to her son, there was no need to know what else those men were hiding.

Of course, she never told anyone that, not even her son, especially since she already saw him talking to several of those guys. She knew every face in Winterfell since she arrived, her memory was good, so spotting them was easy for her.

- "Your son will become a monster in politics" - Elia looked at the letter, from Tyrion who did not know very well with whom he was allied, but with what was mentioned, Tyrion managed to convince his father to wait a little longer, so that the war will be extended enough for him to do what he wants - "To make the largest army in Westeros today wait, to make Tywin Lannister, heed the words of his youngest son wanted."

- "Attacking your enemies' weakest points is a simple technique and one that everyone expects unless they are occupied with a major conflict" - Ashara knew that the things her son did on a political level were simple, but right now the simple ones were more than a highly planned plan that wasn't going to give you instant results, he had tied the Martells to having Elia and her children in Winterfell, and now he tied the lions to having Tyrion on their side, and even more knowing that he didn't know who he was working with for sure - "Only the Tyrells will be missing, and we'll have three kingdoms out of the way."

- "The crown is practically his, Robert is madly in love with Lyanna, and I doubt that anyone would do anything with the Starks having a queen" - Elia knew that now her former husband kidnapped Lyanna because he wanted to bring together the cold and the fire, to bring to life the chosen one, but it seems that all his plans went to shit, and created a rebellion that was not favoring him at all, and there she could see the face of her friend, Ashara was a little grumpy - "What's going on."

- "My brother sent me a letter saying that Lyanna is pregnant" - That made Ashara angry, and that complicated things a lot, if Robert found out about that pregnancy all the plans would go down the drain, of course, his son had to find out everything, as fast as possible to know how to plan - "That's very bad, too bad."

And at that moment Elia understood perfectly that even if the north had the queen and the king on their side, the other kingdoms were going to be a headache, she knew perfectly well that being the queen gave you power only below the king. But there were cases where the king was madly in love, and the queen was the one who truly ruled the kingdom.

She did not know Lyanna very well, but according to what Ashara was able to tell her, Lyanna was someone intelligent, and always sought the good of her family, perhaps for that reason she gave in to leave with Rhaegar. To be crowned queen and get her out of the way, or to have the Targaryen's support to stop watching the Starks so much, there were many things she could think about what Lyanna Stark was planning.

And at that moment she realized that if she was pregnant, her life was in danger, for the simple reason that they were going to poison her. Ashara had all about where Lyanna was, her brother Arthur was not going to put up any resistance when Eddard Stark goes to fetch him, all he asked was to train Harry in the art of swordsmanship, and her brother no longer wished to be a royal knight, he was bored with his father's ambitions, he was good at what he did.

The Sword of Dawn considered one of the greatest warriors in the history of the seven kingdoms, could be considered the most respected knight in the world, especially for his ability to fight with two swords.

Arthur was a good friend of Rhaegar's, the best friend if you could call him that, but if he lost this war, there was no reason for him to stop Lyanna Stark's recovery.

And in return for that, he wished to go north to spend his life quietly, away from the ambitions of his father and older brother, if Ashara had a little problem with his family, his older brother, and father wished him to give Harry and little Lyanna to the mad king, and then she would marry someone else, and have the north under his power.

Which she was against and she would not allow her father and brother to try to manipulate her, the only reason she would not destroy them was that they were her kin. But she was not going to allow her relatives to touch her babies, although Harry was practically independent, and she knew that he could protect himself, she was his mother and she had to look after his welfare even if he didn't need it.

And Harry entered, he looked a little tired, well it was to be expected, he had to have a solid foundation so that the north could grow strong, and have no rival, and he had to do it as fast as he could since the war could end at any moment.

And he needed everything to be in order, like a clock where every gear works simultaneously so that everything goes as he expected. When the foundations are built in a good way, there was no way the tower would be destroyed, once that foundation was in place, his work was going to lighten up, he was aware of that.

So he sighed, he was tired, but at the same time it was fun, knowing that he could play good and evil, fool your allies and your enemies because they didn't know what thing you were going to do, that was going to be fun but to get that, he needed them to not be able to catch up with them.

Harry sat down at the table where his mother and Elia were sitting, who watched with amusement as the little wolf began to yawn, you could tell he needed to sleep, but like his father, he was stubborn to admit it. He was still a child, so it was reasonable that so much burden on him, and give him so much sleep, but Ashara was not going to be able to do anything since she understood what her son wanted, and as a mother, she needed to support him, because now it was time to work since in the future the least you will be able to do that, since the southerners were not going to be able to allow it if they did not take away a huge advantage.

- "We will go for the concrete, Elia you already talked to Oberyn about him having to reign Dorne" - Harry wished to get Doran Martell out of the way, he was weak, and he needed someone with power so that house Dayne would have no power since they wished to be the main house of Dorne, and although they were relatives, he was more northern than anything else, besides they wanted his head, they were his enemy, so he had to keep them in check - "That will help us a lot."

- "Although he is my brother, Doran is not respected by the Dornish, so Oberyn to learn what the Lannisters wanted to do to me, and knowing that I am in the north, will be at your side as long as it does not affect Dorne" - Elia was direct, although the last part was false, she wanted her people to be quiet, as she would see a union between the Starks and the Martells, when her daughter marries the eldest son of Eddard Stark when his wife becomes pregnant, and his son marries the first daughter of Benjen Stark, his children would be safe and in a place where ambition was not in every person - "So the Martells are completely at your disposal when the war is over, my brother also asks to be able to visit us, as often as he can, he will let you know when he will come....and that is all."

- "I have no problem with him coming to the north I want to meet him at some point, maybe when the war ends and Robert reigns, even the north will say enough" - Harry was not afraid to say that in front of Elia, she was not going to betray him, the only thing he asked was that his people would not suffer, and the Martells were going to be his main allies, then there were going to be the Tyrells and forcibly the Lannisters until Tyrion took the place of the head of that house, Tywin was intelligent, but he was not a good father - "Now only Olenna Tyrell remains."

- "And when will you show the power of the North?" - It was the simple question Ashara had, well it was to be expected she was curious to know how the demonstration of the power of the Northerners was going to be, towards the Southerners, where they were finally going to realize, that the north was more powerful than them - "The southerners are pussies, I am a southerner, and I can say that those lords and princes, they are going to shit when they see your ships."

- "It's weird to hear you talk that way Mother" - Harry laughed seeing that his mother spoke practically like his father, something that amused the three, it was rare for Ashara to talk that way, but she practically spoke like a Northerner, although she had manners, they didn't mind expressing what they felt - "But you're right, they will realize something...the North never forgets."

.

3 Weeks later.

More than a thousand men were in front of Winterfell, people who wanted to be soldiers, but for some reason could not defend their homes, but most were skinny people or very heavy, but in total there were a little more than a thousand men, they did not reach 1,100 men.

But this was enough, he was going to create a group of highly trained soldiers, at each meal they were going to give them an elixir so they would not feel pain, just like the Spartans, although they had rigorous training to become soldiers, and not be afraid or in pain in their battles, Harry was not going to waste time on that, and was going to use magic so they would not feel fear in a fight, and would not feel pain, like a small cut or something like that.

That elixir was also going to be useful for them to be able to endure the training that was going to happen, as well as for their bodies to evolve faster, those with a lot of weight to lose weight and those who were skinny to gain muscle. This was cheating, but he came to this world with magic and he was going to take advantage of all his resources to have an advantage against his enemies.

- "I'll be honest, I'll turn you into killing machines, I'll turn you into warriors that will provoke so much fear in their enemies that they'll shit their pants, you'll be the first ones in the battlefield to cut the heads off those fucking southerners or any enemy from the north" - Harry always had the right words to win people over, he was not going to belittle anyone because of their physique, every person with a good guide can be something, and he was going to be the guide of these people - "I am only 13 years old, I have a huge weight on my shoulders, and I want you to help me, I will train with you. ...I will eat with you...rain, snow, or fucking sunshine...no matter the fucking weather... I want you to give me that opportunity to show everyone how to be."

And everyone present knelt before Harry, perhaps he was young, and his uncle Benjen had to be in charge of the North until Harry came of age, but at such a young age most of the lords of every house in the North respected the little Wolf, perhaps it was because of his way of expressing himself and making others feel confident in every word that came out of his mouth.

But the boy had presence, perhaps not like Tywin Lannister's, but what the old lion did not have was the respect his lords did have for Harry. That was the difference, although they knew perfectly well that Harry was a wolf, you did not have to tempt your luck, you betrayed him your fate was told, all the lords knew perfectly well that Harry was going to weaken the Boltons so that he would sell information to the south. That was treason, the laws of the North were very clear, never betray the ruling house, that was the primordial law of the North, the Stark house was the rulers of the North, and this boy wished to eliminate an enemy, and first, he had to weaken him to such an extent that he had no escape so that he could sell information because the southerners were going to look for them, having their spies dead. They would seek out the Boltons, and that would lead to the doom of that house.

- "My lord...sorry to interrupt, but are you willing to marry your aunt Lyanna to Robert" - The lord of house Karstark spoke, as cousins or brothers of House Stark, he knew Lyanna perfectly well, and not him, all the north knew that Lyanna Stark was against marrying Robert Baratheon, and more when it was known that this guy had a bastard daughter - "I do not think that is the most sensible thing to do."

- "Robert has an obsession with my aunt, he only wants her because he could never conquer her, and this war is to satisfy his pride, believing that if he wins my aunt will marry him" - Harry was aware of his aunt's pregnancy, he was not angry about it, rather than the child was going to benefit the north, since he had Targaryen blood, so he could make that house reborn in the north, under his tutelage - "We will pretend that my aunt died. With that my plans to marry Cersei Lannister to Robert, and place Jon as the king's hand...causing them to be destroyed."

Richard stared at Harry, the boy had a brilliant mind, everyone knew that if Robert won he would place Jon Arryn as the king's hand, being his master, and that he would seek now that he was king to force him to marry Lyanna, who never agreed with that marriage, although undoubtedly the benefits that the north would have before that union was immense. But Harry was not going to sacrifice his aunt for marriage with Robert, the guy was a womanizer, and when he has his aunt, he was going to be unfaithful to her, because he already got his prize.

So Harry was going to make him always remember his aunt, as something he wished for and never got. Then there was the other thing, he got to bring Robert's bastard, by the name of Mya Stone, who lived in the valley to the north, as he also got to bring a bastard daughter of Stannis. Mya spent time with her father, so she was a little fond of him, but Stannis' daughter hated him, and so he was going to make her a soldier because the girl had a dream. To surpass her father in the sea field, and he was going to help her.

- "Well boys" - It was Harry's shout, to all the people who were in this place, he was ready for the training, he was going to create an army, and while everyone was watching the war, he was planning. - "From today...the north will be the most feared, I promise you."
