—————————————————————

After taking complete control of Pyke and it's citizens, avoiding as much havoc and chaos as possible, I decided to send one raven to each house in the iron Islands, with a single message.

~Come to Pyke, and kneel to your new lord, for I have been chosen by the drowned god himself to change the old ways, come and see how I can't be drowned and confirm by claims~

I also sent a Raven to my house and Lord Stark, informing them about my victory.

~Dear Aunt, I sent this message to inform you, I have won, I have taken control over Pyke and as you read this, I'm taking control of the Iron Islands as a whole, there will be no more raiding, no more iron price, for now the bears rule over the krakens, with love.

Lord Mormont~

~Lord and Lady Stark, I happily inform you that the iron islands are mine, I have taken control over Pyke, and as you read the lords of the iron islands are coming to pledge their loyalty and banners to me, once this all over I will go to Winterfell and pick up Sansa.

I will ensure they is no more raiding or anything of the sort, I will eliminate the old ways the ironborn believe in, May our families be united through blood, love and honor

Lord Mormont~

I knew I was playing dirty by using his honor to keep our betrothal, but considering they are the only house I mildly trust and I didn't want Sansa to go over all the shit she went in the series, I had to do it.

Now it was time to wait, I was sure the lords in the iron islands would come with their army to take me down, but that was part of the plan, I would prove to them that their so-called god chose me, how? By having a Kraken raise me above the sea, this would make them kneel in admiration or shit their pants one of the two.

"You won, just let me leave and I won't bother you ever again," Asha said weakly.

"I did say I was going to let you live, but only long enough for you to understand how fucked you are," I smiled as I cut her chains, take a boat and leave. This was my last act, I would take everything from her, the last thing a human loses hope.

I led her to the coast where she took a boat and sailed, for a moment she thought she had escaped, for a moment she felt relieved, for a moment she felt hope, that was until a Kraken pulled her deep into the sea, eating her.

"I have stolen everything from you, your house, your dignity, your hope," I chuckled as I walked back to the castle.

[1 MONTH LATER]

It took one month for all the Iron lords to come, their ships and armies approaching, threatening to end my life,everything was going as planned, I would use their fate to my advantage.

I was in the sea, on a ship alone waiting to meet them alone, with my Krakens close by.

Just when the were close enough, just when I was sure they all could see me, I jumped into the water as the kraken destroyed my ship, in a dramatic setting, the iron born started to panic.

I smiled as I waited underwater, and just when I was sure they felt how fucked they were I ordered the Kraken to rise me above the water and their ships gently, as I stood on one of his tentacles.

It was time for the religious scam of the century, "I am the chosen one, the drowned god chose me to lead the ironborn, who here doubts of this?!" I shouted as the ironborn stared at me in disbelief.

Eventually they started chanting in approval, as they knelt before me, I had succeeded in my mission, the iron islands were mine, I had lost a lot men; but I had won fifteen thousand soldiers and the greatest navy in Westeros.

With a smile of satisfaction on my face I ordered the Kraken to gently put me on one of my newly acquired ships.

"Lets go to Pyke," I ordered and the ironborn obeyed, their anger had turned into fear and fear into admiration, and soon that would turn into loyalty.

[1 MONTH LATER]

The coronation to the salt throne was not what I saw on tv or the books, apparently they skipped various considering the so called drowning god himself chose me.

It took a while to convince them their old ways were done for, I was close many times just to kill them be over with this.

But I decided to be more rational, after a while, I made them understand that with my guidance we could be rich without stealing, without raiding.

The new rules of the iron island were clear, they were basically the antithesis of their old ways.

"Let me make one thing clear, my lords, if any of you break my rules, I will kill your family, friends and anyone serving under you, don't think you can hide things from me, I will know, and I will make you pay, is that clear?" I asked every lord in the room with a cold tone.

"Aye!" The lords nodded, some in fear, other in admiration because to some I was some kind of deity now, but mostly fear.

"Good, now leave, I will send Ravens with my orders to stabilize the economy here, for the moment we will focus on fishing, the drowned god has blessed our seas, so go," I said knowing full well my krakens would keep an eye of them and help the fish, but if they step out of line they would die, I left a pair of krakens per island to ensure I had a way to kill them should they rebel.

[Tywin Lannister POV]

Like I expected, the young lord won, and was now or on his way to become the new high lord of the iron islands.

Tyrion would only ruin this, I needed to make him our ally, myself.

"Set a carriage, I am to leave to the north in a fortnight," I ordered a servant.

[Cersei POV]

The young lord of house Mormont had won the salt throne, to protect his future wife, man are pathetic, anything with tits will drive them to war.

"He will by now be a high lord," Jaime smiled, pouring me a cup of wine.

"Of thieves, and rapérs, What an accomplishment," I smiled kissing my brother, as he stripped me.

[Theon Greyjoy]

I had lost it all, my family, my birthright, everything, I lost everything to that bastard, he took what was mine, he sat in my throne, he will pay for this.

I will kill him!
