1 Prologue

If you were to ask a peasant what he thought of the current situation of Westeros, what would he tell you ?

He would tell you that even though times are hard and winter is coming, the ones who reign over the seven kingdoms know what they're doing. He would tell you that everything will go well, one day in the future, be it a distant or close one.

Peasants and common folk can afford to have hope, they can afford to believe in Gods and Myths. They can basically believe in whatever they want, because they don't know the truth. They don't know that King's Landing is a nest of vipers, they don't know that the fate of the world is decided by only three things......Wealth, Strengh and Knowledge.

Honor, Glory, Love, Compassion...That's what the peasant think that matter, be it for themselves or the great Houses. Of course money play a huge in all that, but that's just human greed, most of them could live peacefully with a few coins but they chose to live a harsh life because of their greed.

Now, what if you asked that question to a noble ?

It's simple, he will tell you how you cannot trust anyone, how corrupted the world is, he will tell you how only the high-borns decide how the future would look like. A noble may be crueler, colder, more power-hungry.....But atleast he's not blinded by virtues, or even oaths. A noble knows that the only thing that count for the ones who hold the power is........

Legacy

On that, the Lannister won't disagree with that, the Stark won't be able to argue on that, and the Baratheon are too obsessed by war to care.

That's the only thing that they care about, for they know that no one is immortal, only a Dinasty is. They all want to make sure that their family will stay on the throne forever. That's why many wars started, that's why many marriage of convenience were set. In the end there existed two worlds, the one of the poor peasants who couldn't even begin to understand that peace will never exist, and there was the world of the Nobles.......The world of honey coated words, of lies, of deception, of betrayals and wars.

(Westeros, King's Landing, 298 AC)

The capital was truly a bad place to live in. The constant smell of shit and piss mixed with the smell of rotten corpse was impossible to ignore. The criminality in the streets was higher than anyone would like to admit it, and the guards were completely useless.

Of course there were some good things for the people of King's Landing. The merchants that arrived from Essos were selling new and fresh products at relatively low prices and the brothels saw an increase in quality while the prices stayed at a reasonable level, which only meant one thing......Life was good for men. As for women.........Honestly who in the whole entire world cared about low borns women ?

It's in this city of peasants and criminals that a lone figure walked along the streets, stopping from time to time to give some coins to beggars, who couldn't even see his/her face since the figure wore a black cloak with a hood that shrouded his/her face in darkness. Said beggars couldn't contain their tears when they saw that the man had gave them Gold Dragons ( i won't explain how much a gold dragon is worth but it's a lot, trust me)which only made the figure even more suspiscious in the eyes of the guards, but they ignored him. To them he must be like Margaery Tyrell, a noble who acted like he/she cared about the poor people, even if it was only a way to gain support from those naive fools.

The figure continued on it's way until it stopped in front of an alley where some strange noises could be heard. The figure could clearly hear a group of men laughing, but it also heard the muffled screams that were obviously coming from a woman. It looked like rape in broad daylight wasn't something considered as 'dangerous'.

"Hey, you four!"

Startled by the deep voice, the four men turned around only to come face to face with a masked individual. The mask was totally blank and didn't even have a slit for the mouth, or holes for the eyes. For some reasons they felt instantly threatened by this person, his whole demeanour screamed 'DANGEROUS!!!' and he was a little bit too calm for someone who was confronted to 4 criminals.

"W-What do you want man ?! Who the f-fuck are you ?!"Said one of the man, not knowing how to react in such a situation, he truly felt that he should just run away.

"Me ? Oh, i'm no one ! But this no one wants to know something.......Were you raping this woman?" Said the masked man as he pointed at the sobbing woman who was too busy fixing her broken nose to care about what was happening around her.

"Ha! And what's it to you ?! Plus she's not a woman, she's a who-ARGHHH!!!"

The man didn't even finish that he had a sword stabbed in his guts. He looked down only to gasp in horror as swords continously appeared out of thin air and stabbed him. He coughed blood before dropping dead on the ground. The three others were truly at lost for words, even the woman turned her head to see what caused such a painful scream.

They had no time to react that the three criminals were sent flying through the alley and landed in the busy streets. It caused quite a commotion as a squad of guards saw the action and ran towards the men.

The masked man appeared right in front of them, crouching so he could face them. They didn't saw his face but they could swear he was smiling.

"A whore yes, but still a woman......Too bad i had to see something like that the first day i arrived in the capital." The masked man then put his hand in his cloak and grabbed some sort of......Jug ?

The masked man was about to pour the content on them, but he saw a rich looking man coming towards him, accompagnied by a whore who had a panicked expression on her face. The man smiled behind his mask and chuckled.

"Just in time my friend, i was about to punish those men who were trying to take what's yours."

The masked man poured the liquid on them and his chuckle became even louder.

"Time to face punishment you mongrels.......I'm sorry but i might seem a little too harsh with my actions."

He then snapped his fingers and.....

"AHHHHHH!!!"

"FIRE!!!!"

"GUARDS WHAT ARE YOU STANDING HERE FOR?!!"

"Hope you like this fiery spectacle........Baelish."
