After hearing the author's words and knowing that the author would not change his mind, Edward tried to restrain his anger, but he continued to curse and insult the author in his heart for taking his memories about his children. He could not defeat the author and had to follow what he said whether he wanted or not. Edward did not have much choice there. He missed the feeling when he had his armies besiege the Red Keep and make Tywin Lannister fear him after punching him in the face. If he could do the same to the author, he would do that without hesitation.
Although the author heard every thought that went through Edward's mind all this time, he decided to ignore him since he would enjoy playing with Edward starting from this moment.
"I will give you the compensation for what I did to you first. I will give you two abilities. The first one will be a unique one. You will have the ability to turn stone into gold but not unconditionally, of course. You can only turn what is equivalent to one hundred and fifty thousand gold dragons in a year. That means you can only turn what is equivalent to twelve thousand and five hundred gold dragons a month and about three thousand and two hundred a weak. The process would take some time, though. For every thousand gold, you would have to spend an hour creating the gold from the stone." Said the author with a smile as he looked at Edward. Although this reward sounded good after hearing this since it looked a bit fancy and all that, the wealth Edward made in the other timeline in a year was multiple of what he could gain from this ability. Plus, Edward would not be able to practice this ability during his childhood. Unless his parents were idiots, they would not allow the two or three-year-old child to leave the castle and wander around to find a stone to turn it into gold. He would also need to hide himself, or people would find out about his ability and kill or enslave him when he was young.
"The second thing I am giving you is a little ability. It is not much, really. What I am giving you this time is an ability to know if the other person had an ill-intention and meant to harm you. But you must know that there are people in that world who know how to mask their feeling and could hide from your ability." Said the author as he continued to smile at Edward, who had no clue about what he was talking about right there. Call the author sadist or anything you want, but he liked to see Edward in trouble. He would enjoy that while eating popcorn and writing about those times.
"As for the restrains that I said earlier, I am taking all the knowledge from your previous life. That means that I will erase your memories about the technologies and other pieces of knowledge as well. I will only leave you with two things, so choose wisely." Said the author with a smile after seeing that Edward finally realized that he fucked him up with this. He made it even harder for Edward this time. All the knowledge that generated tonnes of gold dragons for him would disappear. Not to mention, all his sword and spear arts would disappear as well.
"What do.." Before Edward could complete his complainant about what the author said earlier, he got interrupted by the author.
"You have three seconds to choose...3...2..." Said the author as he smiled again after seeing Edward's expression. He could hear clearly hear Edward's thoughts and knew how much he angered him this time. Edward was cursing him none stop since earlier, but he did not care as he enjoyed himself there.
"I want the ship making and winemaking knowledge." Said Edward as fast as he could to stop the author from continuing what he intended to say. He wanted to curse the author before he said anything else to fuck Edward more, but the author caught him to it and said his final piece of goodbye.
"Well then, Au revoir, my friend. I hope you can enjoy this life, although I doubt that you will this time." Said the author as he waved his hand and laughed a little at the end of his words before sending Edward away.
"I will enjoy playing with Edward's life this time. Here, here, little monkey. Don't worry. Your papa had prepared a lot of things to entertain you." Said the author as he smiled cruelly and gave a sinister vibe while writing Edward's fate this time.

[Year 259 AC]
In the sixth month of year 259 AC, the famous Tragedy at Summerhall, which shocked the whole realm of Westeros, took place. The conflagration resulted from the experimentations done by King Aegon V caused the deaths of, among others, King Aegon V Targaryen, his eldest son, Prince Duncan Targaryen, and Ser Duncan the Tall holding the position of the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard. In order to restore the dragons that King Aegon V saw as the only way to save the realm, especially after facing troubles from everywhere, to the seven kingdoms, King Aegon fucked everything up doing something like that. Not only did he kill himself and his eldest son in those experimentations, but he also blew up the beautiful castle of Summerhall and made it uninhabitable for years to come.
The only few people who survived this accident were the one and only Princess Rhaella Targaryen, the wife of our future and beloved king, Aerys Targaryen, with her three-year-old son, Rhaegar Targaryen. The young boy was not aware of what happened to him at that time and did not know that this accident would attach itself to the young boy's mind, and he would come to this place again and again. He would always hear dragons' screams in the ruins of this place. He would come to Summerhall without any guards and would sleep in the open under the sky directly, where an assassin could kill him if he got unlucky, in order to hear the dragons' voices.
Rhaegar did not know that this place would change him a lot. This place would give him enough inspiration for his songs among the dragons' screams. He would come to this place with only his herp and start writing his famous songs.
Anyway, The death of King Aegon V brought Jaehaerys II Targaryen to the throne. But he had to put aside his grief and make immediate plans for the War of the Ninepenny Kings since the Blackfyre that the Targaryen had mocked were about to attack Westeros after taking the Septstones to themselves.
