Chapter 82

Maximus and Aerella had sat there in each other's comfort for a couple of minutes talking with each other since they haven't seen each other in months.

Aerella had told him how she got the Reach on their side as Vassals and had received a gift at the Capital and an offer of marriage between Maximus and Margaery Tyrell.

He was already told of the potential marriage between him and Margaery by Aerella by a messenger delivering him the news directly. He didn't mind the marriage, but he was worried about how adding another woman to his harem would affect the others.

Daenerys, Aerella, and Aleanna already considered each other sisters and had formed a deep relationship with each other over the years. Margaery followed the Faith of the Seven, a religion which Maximus knows considers Polygamous marriage to be a sin.

Religion can be a powerful motivator in people's decisions, and the Faith of the Seven was no different, since it was the dominant religion of Westeros. Maximus knew that once he takes Kingslanding, he will have to decided what to do with the Religion. Whether to make a new one or to allow them to stay.

But Aerella had told him about her conversation with Margaery "She won't be a problem if she marries you since from the conversation I had with her all she wants to do is fulfil her duty and give birth to your child and from the report about her, that I received from Hanzo she is very popular with the common folk and loves to spend her time with them"

"I see, so there won't be any problems, and she won't abuse her position as my Wife to exploit the common folk then I guess I'm going to have yet another wife" Said Maximus as he sighed since three were already enough, but now he has 4.

He wonders how many he will have before he reaches old age.

"And she seems like she will get along with the Daenerys and Aleanna, so I guess we will have yet another sister" Said Aerella as she smiled

She and Maximus continued talking for a little more before Margaery had came in the room to see her future husband.

When she first saw him she was surprised at how young he was and even more surprised at how handsome he was. In all of her life she hadn't seen anybody more handsome than him, even Joffrey paled in comparison.

She had stayed in the room and talked with Maximus, learning more about him. They were talking for about half an hour and Margaery didn't even realize that she had already become infatuated with him and had only just met.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Continent, There was an army of 60k soldiers marching towards Highgarden, and they were only a couple of hours away from reaching the castle.

But from behind this army was an army of 40k Dwarven men and marching through the Prince's pass was another army from Dorne coming to help fight the Lannister and Vale army.

The Dorne and the Reach had put aside their enmity with each other, and the Reach had allowed the Dorne to march an army into the Reach in order to assist them, though it was all just a ploy since at Highgarden the Reach army was already waiting for the Lannister army.

And once they realize that the Reach army is waiting for them, the Lannister army will either attack or retreat back to Kingslanding. But if they retreat then from behind them, they will be attacked by Dáin Ironfoot and the Dornish army.

If they attack, then they will just get flanked from the rear by two armies. It was already over for the Lannister army as they continued to march forward.

The commander of the army, Lord Kevan Lannister, had sent scouts ahead of him to gather information on the garrison of Highgarden since he knew that with such a big army marching through the lands there was no way that the Lords of the Reach were not aware.

But if they do spot an army, then that proves that the Reach are rebelling against the crown. But so far none of his scouts has returned, making him cautious just a little, but he still marches his army onwards since the Reach shouldn't be able to gather an army able to stop his in such a short amount of time.

-----

While Lord Kevan Lannister and his army march on Highgarden, in the Iron Islands, a place where nothing interesting has been going on has just had a recent change in leadership as Euron Greyjoy has returned from Exile 3 months ago.

The first thing he did was claim the Seastone chair from his brother Balon who is the current ruler of the Iron Islands. Normally, Euron would not have won the Seastone chair since Balon was still alive, but the majority of the Iron islanders wanted to take redeem themselves from their loss in the North where they were defeated and pushed out.

But Balon didn't do anything after their defeat and only sits in his castle, not attacking or raiding any Kingdoms.

And when Euron comes along and claims the Seastone chair and promises to conquer all of Westeros for the ironborn and defeat the Emperor, who is said to be undefeatable, the Ironborn believes him.

He even claimed to have a dragon horn which can bind the dragons to his will. With this the Ironborn lords gathered at the kingsmoot on Old Wyk a place where a council held by the ironborn on the holy isle will choose a new King of the Isles and the North.

But the day of the council, Balon died after he was said to have fallen off one of the bridges in Pyke. Now, Euron had a higher chance to win the title, but Asha Greyjoy also claims the title. And some lords want to name Theon as King since he is Balon's son, but many object since Theon has been living with the Stark's for years and doesn't know what it means nor have what it takes to be a true Ironborn.

In the end, Euron won and was named King of the Isles and the North. With this he began building a massive fleet which he would use to become King of the Iron Throne.

Asha Greyjoy, fearing for her life, had escaped from the Iron Islands with her Brother Theon.
