Olenna pov

She thought she had a pretty good understanding of the new King by now with the war and his subsequent Ascension as the king, he does everything cleanly and efficiently, he doesn't do unnecessary things, he keeps his losses minimum and attacks where it hurts the most without any warning

He knows killing your men doesn't do much harm so he goes straight for the head, that's why he is the most terrifying enemy you can have,he won't banter with you or use threats, he won't attack your castles, your men or your family he just comes directly for you and deals with you once and for all

Even though he has dragons he has kept the number of losses low for both sides, but the boy flipped the board once again, he just went on his dragon and burned thousands of ironborn men and their ships, and then went to pyke and came back with Balon greyjoy's head,as such the last king of this war was also dealt with

While his methods were always effective she thought the boy was a little soft as he was not willing to kill thousands who stands against him but the boy was just going easy on them, now once again she doesn't know what to make of the new king, it seem the men can't really understand what is going on in a dragon's head

When she received the letter to present themselves to the court and pledge allegiance to the new king, at first she wanted to wait and see what other great houses will do but now she and the entire Tyrell household are traveling to Kingslanding, she is not willing to poke the dragon now

Oberyn pov

Elia his sister was alive, he couldn't believe it when he first heard it, so he personally went and saw them from far, Elia, Rhaenys and even the old queen Rhealla were alive all this time and were hiding with that boy this whole time

He cursed the boy for taking what was his niece and nephew but he was the one they were hiding with all this time, he doesn't know what to feel right now, should he feel happy that the sister he thought long dead was alive or sad that his sister didn't trust him enough and instead hide with the Targaryens

He thought he could take revenge for his sister and her children but they were together all this time, even now he is happy that his sister is alive but he doesn't know how to face her now after all this time

So he decided to stay still for now , Doran is coming here to pledge allegiance to the new King, he will know what to do

Jon/Aegon pov

Things are really going well for me these days but that comes with being the king, one that can burn anyone who go against him with dragons, more people should try this it is very relaxing because everyone else is on the edge of a blade trying not to offend you

This really make my job easy to make changes to this city filled with shit,the crime is low because my men patroling the city and have no tolerance for crime, the punishment are dealt quickly according to the nature of crime,my men have experience because this the same way I handled Moat Cailin

As the things in the city are getting better and the food also started coming from the reach again the people are happy, for the smallfolk it doesn't matter who sits in the red keep unless it directly affects them

With what I did to the ironborn all the lords great and small came in line, and are coming for the coronation ready to bend the knee

Daenerys pov

she was leaving Qarth with her dragons and her khalsaar, and two men who saved her life on the ship sent by illyrio to pentos

But while they were getting ready to sail Ser Jorah has heard news from the seven kingdoms, the Dragon King Aegon Targaryen has defeated the lannisters and took the seven kingdoms with his three full grown dragons

This sounds ridiculous but if someone heard what happened to her they would also find it ridiculous, so even though she never fully believes it she asks Ser Jorah to investigate more about this Aegon Targaryen

As they switched course to astopar,Ser Jorah found whatever information he could as they travel to the slaver's bay

Aegon Targaryen is her supposed nephew from her brother Rhaegar and Lyanna Stark, and was raised as bastard till he staked his claim and won the Iron Throne, but the most shocking thing to her was that her mother was alive and with this Aegon Targaryen at Kingslanding

Even though she knows it's foolish to believe such tales from the other side of the world but she did anyway because that meant she was no longer alone, she still had family in this world

She wanted to go straight to Kingslanding but Ser Jorah cautioned her that going there might be dangerous and it is better to go with an army, that's why she is going to astopar to buy unsullied who are know for their discipline and battle prowess

Even though she wants to believe her family is alive it is better to go there with an army, so she won't be under anyone elses control anymore, all of this still could be a trap to get her there and kill her and her dragons

But she is not going to be afraid, she will take an army to her homeland with grown dragons, if this Aegon and her family are alive it is good ,if they are just pretenders then she will rain fire and blood on them
