Chapter 5

279 AC

Kings Landing, Blackwater Rush

3rd Pov

There once was a ship that put to sea

The name of the ship was the Titty O' Lys

The winds blew up, her bow dipped down

Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day, when the tonguing is done

We'll take our leave and go

She'd not been two weeks from shore

When down on her a right whale bore

The captain called all hands and swore

He'd take that whale in tow (huh)

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day, when the tonguing is done

We'll take our leave and go

Da-da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

Before the boat had hit the water

The whale's tail came up and caught her

All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her

When she dived down low (huh)

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day, when the tonguing is done

We'll take our leave and go

No line was cut, no whale was freed

The captain's mind was not of greed

And he belonged to the Whaleman's creed

She took that ship in tow (huh)'

'We're landing lads! Garin gather some men and get the goods into the warehouse.' said Aaron while putting away his harp as he got down from the ship. He picked up the habit or singing (his voice is bang average tho) while playing songs from his past life remixed a bit to fit this one to pass time.

As I make my way through the streets of Kings Landing I take in capital as a whole. Infestation, corruption and poverty. The city is unnerving with its promises of pain and grandeur with equal measure. You can rise high here or you can fall very low.

I took a page out of Littlefinger's books, I started buying brothels. Not all of them for that will bring too much attention to me. No instead I bought five and decided to make them a bit like luxury casinos from Las Vegas. With different services that have different pays, there is a lounge that is just for resting, mingling with others and gambling (yes with cards,I made the schematics for pool). Different floors have different levels of privacy. The top most floor has but a single large room decked with luxury, a privy and even a bell for room service thereby having no need for others to know you were there. This costs the most with a minimum of a hundred gold dragons. The other two floors have a lot of rooms on them but no privy or room service.

The whores are all treated well and respectably for Kings Landing. They can take three days off twice a year, there is a maester and an acolyte of healing in each establishment to take care of the girls and boys and any of their children but it comes out of their pay though its not as much as it should be. There are also guards to protect the establishment and them should they try to harm them. The benefits and protection created a deep loyalty in the ladies as they did not expect to be taken care of in return they give all the news and rumours they find to the Mistress of Novacaine, Chataya.

She and I met two years ago when I started my business in Kings Landing. After we fucked, we spent a while talking and I found her to be smart and discreet. After a few more visits and getting time to know each othet I told her of my plan for the brothels and offered her to be the head of the establishment answering only to me. She of course accepted. Since then she grew the business after the first brothel I took over also creating an information network around kings landing keeping track of news for me.

As I enter Chataya's solar, I see her sitting behind her desk looking through some documents. I really lucked out finding her. I wonder if she was important in the story. I sat down on the chair and said,

'You are so distracted today, Aya. You didn't even see me come in.'

She looked up from the documents and smiled that smile that made me fall head over heels for her once,

'Aaron. You didn't contact me, so how do I prepare for you're coming?'

' I did not know that I had to send everything to my establishment for coming. So give me a run through of what is happening?'

'Sigh. Peace it hanging by a thread. The king burnt a maid alive because he suspected poison in his food. There was none. Lord Tywin and the king have become more enstranged with each other after he rejected his daughter Cersei for Rhaegar and instead married him to Elia Martell.'

'Elia is in the city? Last time I saw her she was with Oberynn in Norvos now she's our future queen that's nice right?' I mean who would have thought that I befriended the future queen while traveling. She and I took a liking to each other immediately I even used to sing for her. Introduced her to Bruno Mars classic, Just the way you are. Her brother is also a very good warrior and all round great guy to hang around.

'She got married last year amd just gave birth to a daughter, Rhaenys. She looks like the princess but with purple eyes.'

Ohhhh my gods. She must be so cute I have to go see them soon. Fuck Oberynn I'll be her favorite uncle.

With that I stood up and thanked Chataya before leaving towards the docks so I can a ship to Dragonstone cause that's where the Prince stays with his family. I should get them gifts especially my little sun dragon.

Dragonstone

3 days later

After I arrived at the docks I saw Elia waiting with some hand maidens looking at me. It still surprises me that the friend I made has risen so high in society I mean she's a future queen. She's peaked in life already and I'm so happy for her. Elia is such a warm soul in this dreary world.

'Do my eyes deceive me? I didn't know you were married last time.'

'I wasn't you brigand.' she then smiled and added,

'Why? did you want to ask for my hand too. I knew you couldn't resist me but alas.'

Ahhh that's how she's going to play.

'But my dear how can you say that. After the time we spent together. I thought we had something special. Was it just a dream?' I played along while making exaggerated gestures.

' Anyway, what is this? I hear about you getting married on why was I not sent an invitation?'

' It came up so suddenly I did even have time to prepare myself.'

She then went on to tell me about how to King out of nowhere sent an engagement letter to her family and they had no choice but to accept. Also about her meeting Rhaegar, their marriage and their daughter. She said she tried to love him but Rhaegar couldn't reciprocate that he tried but… she really doesn't know.

She started telling me stories of her daughter, the cute little lady. She really does look like Elia with black hair and purple eyes. She's going to break all those pesky little lordlings hearts. I asked about the prince but it seemed he went traveling with his friends to Summerhall. If I remember correctly something bad happened to the royals there. What does he want there?

I gave Elia the gifts I brought. A handheld mirror from Myr (I gave them the idea), some silks, a dragon toy and finally a dagger made of dragonglass.

She then introduced me officially to her ladies-in-waiting,

'Aaron meet my friends. Myria Jordane, Nymella Toland, Larra Blackmont and Ashara Dayne.'

All of them are so beautiful. Is this Dorne… should I pack up and retire I need a break and these ladies to step on my neck.

'Elia I think you broke him.' said Larra Blackmont.

'Nay my lady. I was lost in my head. Lovely to meet you all and I will love to know you later.' I said as I winked to Lady Larra who blushed slightly.

Ahhhh they would have to throw me out of Dorne if all their ladies are even half as beautiful.
