Chapter 89

I put a plate of cookies on the table and poured some tea into their cup. After that, I sit on the opposite side of them and say.

"So, what can I do for you, my lord?"

Stannis looks around for a few seconds and says.

"First thing first, thank you. Thank you for curing my daughter and wife."

"Oh? I remember healing your daughter but I never use my magic to heal your wife, my lord."

Stannis looks at me with his usual stern expression and says.

"Please don't act dumb in front of me. I notice it; we all notice it. My wife is healthier than before, and I can see her being more active. Not only that, but I also hear something about how she can safely have more kids."

I can only smile sheepishly at him and say.

"Very well. I'm the one feeding her with a nutrient potion that heals her body and makes her stronger so she can safely have more children if she wants to."

"Good. I want you to continue ensuring my wife is as healthy as possible."

"I can do that, sure."

"The second reason why we come here is to appoint you as a Steward for the Dragonstone Castle."

I look at him and see his seriousness; I can only sigh and say.

"I can't reject this offer, huh?"

"No. This is a direct order from the Lord of Dragonstone. Ignoring this order will be seen as treason, and you will be hanged."

Dammit. I hate this kind of thing but oh well.

"Haaa… Very well. When do I start work?"

"Tomorrow morning. Also, one more thing."

"What is it, my lord?"

"Teach me about this Shintoism."

Damn. I know teaching her about Shintoism will bite me in the ass later.

~A couple of days later~

|Congratulation, you get [Amaterasu's Blessing] [Level: Max] [Passive]|

What? Lizzy? What is this?

|Errr, congratulations. Amaterasu's authority spread into this world, and her presence is considered a Divine Being of this world.|

What do you mean?

|What I mean is that Amaterasu now exists in this part of the universe. Because you spread her name into this world, she does not exist on this planet and universe. She has yet to have enough power to do many major miracles, but she can do minor ones, like how she makes this part of Westeros warmer than before.|

How? I don't think a couple of hundred people worshiping her can call her being into this part of the universe.

|Well, usually, a couple hundred or even a thousand people worshiping an already existing god will not let their presence into the world. However, you are special, you know? Your soul is strong enough to create a small connection with the nearby galaxy|

Wait. Nearby universe? Is the Milky Way the next galaxy from here?

|Yes|

Huh. Neat.

|Anyway, the second thing is that the people who worship her in this world truly believe her. Because of your performance creating miracles, they truly believe that she exists, and that belief makes her existence in this world appear.|

Does that mean the people in this place are even more fantastic than the ones in the previous one?

|Surprisingly? Yes.|

Huh. That is surprising and worrying at the same time. So, what will it do for me?

|For you? Nothing. You are my champion, and Amaterasu knows about it. She cannot order anything or harm you in any way. She will do the same as long as you do not do anything to her. However, she can request a mission for you to do, but it will go through me first.|

That is good.

I open the new skill I get and start to read it.

|Amaterasu's Blessing| |Passive| |Level: Max|

|Lady of the Sun and the Universe bless you with her authority! All healing, buff, and cleansing spells now get even stronger! You are immune to curses as long as there is a sun in the sky.|

{Effect: Boost Healing, Buff, and Cleansing spell by 300% and Absolute Immunity to Curse when the sun is in the sky}

=||=

That is a good passive skill. That absolute immunity is broken. It is true that it can only work when there is a sun in the sky, but that is still broken.

"Steward sir."

I snap from my thoughts and look at two women walking toward me.

"What is it? Is there something I can do for you?"

As the Steward of the Dragonstone castle, it is my job to take care of the castle. I need to check the food stock inside the storage, lead a small army of servants if a feast is happening, and make sure there is no poison in any food.

I'm a glorified Head-Butler.

"Lord Stannis is calling you, sir. He is waiting in his room."

"Very well. Lead the way."

I follow the two maids, and we go through the castle that was gloomy before I came here and change it. It is still the same intimidating castle but now warm and welcoming. This is because of the continuous use of ritual I got from the Gringott.

It was a cleansing ritual that cleaned all dark energy around the house and ensured the air stayed pure. The previous castle is full of tainted magic that makes this place unpleasant and also makes people easily angry and unpleasant to others.

However, after a continuous cleansing ritual every day for a week, the castle starts to look more pleasant, and the people get more friendly.

I snap from my thoughts when we arrive in front of Stannis' office, and when the maid opens it up, I can see two people waiting for me. The first one is Lord Stannis, and the other is Sir Davos Seaworth.

Lord Stannis looks at me and says.

"Good, you are here. Take a seat."

I nod and take a seat next to Sir Davos. Stannis sits in front of us and says.

"I call you two in here because of a grave news coming from the West."

Wait. Coming from the West? Does that mean…

"Is the Greyjoy finally taking an arm and trying to rebel?"

The two of them look at me in surprise. Stannis frowns and says.

"How do you know this?"

"I just know."

I give him a small smile, and seeing that I'm not answering, he only sighs and says.

"Jacob is correct. Greyjoy decides they are too powerful and starts a rebellion. Lannisport is set ablaze, and the Lannister Fleet is gone with the city burned. The King called for all banners. We will take the Royal Fleet and join the Redwyne Fleet in Arbor."

He then looks at Sir Davos and says.

"I need you to prepare the ships and ensure they are ready to go in three days."

"Of course, my lord."

Next, he looks at me and says,

"As for you, I need you to prepare some kind of ritual to bless us with a good wind and weather. I also want you to come with us. I have seen you with a sword and I want to put it to good use."

He and the people in this castle already know how good I am with a sword. I'm still undefeated in a sword fight against anyone in this place. In terms of sword mastery, some of them can reach me, but my physical strength outmatches them by far.

"Are you sure it is a wise decision?"

"No. That is why you need to make sure not to use your magic. Sword only, and don't do anything too outrageous."

"I will try."

"Good. The last duty I want you to do is as a healer. Take as many healing potions as you can for our army. I will compensate for it."

"Sure. I can do that."

He nods and gets up from the chair.

"You two are dismissed."
