Hello.

I really wanted to have this chapter out about 4 weeks ago, but first I got pulled into the "Fate" fandom, then the "Horizon: Zeron Dawn" came out on PC and after that, I just couldn't make myself write anything. I really wanted but whenever I sat down I just couldn't. Maybe it was a writer block maybe not, but I am a little better now.

I am not gonna promise you more frequent updates as I don't want to break my word, but like always I will try.

I hope that this chapter will make the people that wanted more GoT events, happy. It finally came the time for me to set up some events and make the first bigger changes to the plot.

IMPORTANT: I am following the timeline from the show, not books. Thus the ages of characters are taken from the shows (sometimes I might alter them a bit for the story). Even then I still plan to add some things from books, but not too many (places, and some characters, not future events). Here are the ages of some of the characters during this chapter. Harry - 12 (born in the middle of 280 AC), Arianne Martell - 14, Daenerys Targaryen - 10, Quentyn Martell - almost 13. Yes, I changed how old the Martells are, but like I said it was needed for the story. Robert's Rebellion and the ages of the rest of the characters are the same as in the show.

Last thing before the chapter. Someone asked me what is the finally decision regarding the pairing. If I was, to be honest, then I don't really know. In the early stages of this story, I thought that I would be able to put in any pairing and be done with that. Now I know that it is not possible. The pairing will still appear and it will be one of the characters that were in the poll, but which one will I choose? That even I don't know.

Thank you all for reading this AN and enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 13. The Land of Three Emperors

Sunspear, the seat of the House Nymeros Martell, and the capital of Dorne. Even though the castle was located in lands where deserts and very hot weathers were normal, the place was still beautiful. Besides anyone who decided to live in Dorne was prepared to deal with the characteristics of the land.

As of now, the current head of the House Martell, Prince Doran Martell, sat in his study where he was going through the numerous documents that required his attention.

Unfortunately, the Prince's mind couldn't focus on what he was reading. No, thoughts were centered on the conversation that he would have with his only daughter in a few minutes. Princess Arianne Martell, the girl of four and ten that made his past few months a real pain.

At first, Doran couldn't understand where the sudden rebellious streak was coming from. He knew that she was a lively spirit and probably spent too much time with Oberyn for her own good. Even then this didn't explain why one day she just went and lost her virginity to a random man - despite knowing it could cause problems -, before running to Doran and openly telling him what she had done.

Before this event, Arianne and Doran had a very good daughter-father relationship. They were very close and Doran was very distraught that something changed his daughter in the span of a few days.

Thankfully after the confusion and shock went away, Doran, with some help, finally managed to figure out what caused the rebellion. Somehow Arianne found out that he planned to take her rightful position as the heiress of Dorne away from her. Of course, Doran had plans that would make Arianne someone much more important than just a ruler of Dorne.

Unfortunately, all of his and Oberyn's carefully laid out plans went to hell after what happened a few days ago and, due to the report Oberyn sent him, he would need to talk to Arianne before he released the news to the rest of the kingdom. Doran couldn't leave his daughter in the dark anymore, not with what the secrets were causing.

Finally, the doors to his study opened and Arianne slowly entered the room.

Arianne, even though she was not yet fully developed, was growing into a beautiful woman just like her mother. She had olive skin, large dark eyes and long, thick black hair that fell to the middle of her back. Like Mellario, Doran's wife, Arianne was on the short side, but it suited her perfectly.

"Father," Arianne said curtly but her voice lacked any of the warmth it had held just a few months ago, "You called for me."

"Yes Arianne," Doran answered before gesturing at the empty seat across him, "Please sit down, we have much to talk about."

Arianne did as she was told, but all this time she held her stony and cold demeanor. If it wasn't for the fact that it was used in the meeting with her own father, Doran would be proud that his daughter had perfect control of her current mask.

The prince sighed and sat straighter in his seat, "I know that a few months ago you found out about something that I hoped would remain a secret a bit longer. Unfortunately, you found out and due to a tragedy that has befallen our family a few days ago, I decided that I need to reveal those secrets to you, before I inform the rest of Dorne what happened."

Arianne's posture remained mostly unchanged through Doran's speech, but she got a very bad feeling when her father mentioned a tragedy. Their family had experienced enough of them. Even then, the Princess still held some anger towards her father for his decision about the change of heirship, so her answer came out colder than she expected.

"So you finally decided to tell me why I lost my rightful position to my younger sibling?" she spat bitterly.

"Don't take that tone with me. I am your father and the ruler of Dorne," Doran said with a bit of heat in his voice. Silence fell upon the room and Doran took this moment to gather his thoughts once more. "But yes... it is time to tell you why I planned to take the heirship from you. But first I must inform you that your brother, Quentyn, has been killed."

The princess took a moment to process her father's words and couldn't believe what she heard. She was never close to her younger brother, but it didn't mean that she wanted him to die. Not even the news that he would take the heirship from her could put such thoughts in her mind. He was family and even if Arianne didn't always show it, she loved her whole family.

"What happened?" she asked quietly.

Doran sighed sadly. He expected this reaction from her and if it wasn't for the fact that he knew about Quentyn's death for a few days, Doran would be acting quite similarly. Unfortunately being who he was Doran couldn't grieve like normal people. Time for that would come after he dealt with the fallout of this tragedy.

"Two months ago Quentyn and Oberyn traveled to Essos so they could run a few errands that required secrecy. Originally only Oberyn was meant to go, but your brother wanted to see more of the world and help your uncle, so I allowed it. It was a mistake that I will carry with me until the end of my days... Your brother and some of our men were attacked by pirates when they were coming back. Only one member of the crew survived, without him we would never know what happened," Doran finished solemnly.

"And uncle Oberyn?" Arianne asked again, this time her worry was evident.

"He is fine," Doran assured, "Quentyn was meant to be back earlier than him so Oberyn is still in Essos. Though not for long."

"But why?" the princess questioned angrily, "What was so important that you would let them both go without enough men to protect them?"

Doran sighed again, it was finally time to reveal the secret betrothal and explain his plan, "To answer this and to give you the reason why I wanted to take away your heirship, I would need to start with the plan that Oberyn and I put in place when you were much younger."

"After Elia's death, Oberyn and I wanted one thing, revenge. Unfortunately, there was no way to attain it. With the Targaryens defeated we couldn't just go and fight every kingdom so we just accepted what happened and decided to bide our time. It was almost ten years ago that we finally decided on a plan. Two of the Targaryens were still alive and after a long discussion I sent Oberyn to find them," Doran stopped for a moment and took a sip of wine.

Arianne meanwhile was still trying to come to terms with her brother's death and at the same time understanding everything that her father said. It was hard, but if she wanted to get her answers, she needed to stay strong.

"Surprisingly Oberyn had little trouble finding the Targaryens and their guardian," Doran continued, "After your uncle explained our proposition, Willem Darry signed the pact for the Targaryens and Oberyn signed for Dorne."

When Doran didn't continue, Arianne inquired, "What was the pact about?"

"Read for yourself," Doran replied as he handed her a sheet of parchment.

Arianne took the paper and slowly read through its content. The more she read the more she understood her father's actions. Most of the anger she held for him slowly faded away and after she put the pact away, she said quietly, "I apologize for my previous actions father, if I had known..."

Doran quickly stopped her with a raised hand, "No Arianne. If there is someone to blame for all that has happened it is me. I should have told you earlier, but again I made a mistake."

Arianne nodded, slowly accepting his words even if they didn't make the guilt she felt go away, "The pact said that I would marry Viserys Targaryen and become the Queen after we help them retake Westeros. But with Quentyn's death are you planning for Trystane to take the place of the heir of Dorne now?"

Doran shook his head, "Normally I would do just that, but after the report that I received from Oberyn, I decided against it. According to your uncle, who was meant to check on the last Targaryens, their guardian is dead and they are now traveling through the Free Cities in a search of someone who would take them in. The important part is that Oberyn thinks that Viserys is showing the signs of the same madness that Aerys Targaryen was afflicted with. I won't have my daughter marry a madman who would lead us all to death."

"So the pact is void?" Arianne asked as she looked down on the piece of parchment again.

"Yes and no," Doran replied before taking the pact back and hiding it, "I plan to take revenge against the pirates that decided that it was a good idea to mess with Martels. Preparations will take some time so Oberyn will remain in Essos and observe the Targaryens until we are ready. It should give your uncle enough time to make the final decision about the pact. Only a few people know of it so we can pretty much do anything."

Arianne nodded once again. With all of those revelations, the young woman felt a bit numb. The death of her brother, the pact, it was a bit too much for her and nobody could really blame her. Arianne knew that the world she lived in was neither fair nor perfect, but she didn't expect any of this when she was called to her father's study.

Doran seeing the emotions on his daughter's face sighed sadly. She was still young and had a lot to learn, but it didn't mean that Doran wanted to put all of Dorne's issues on her shoulders. Hopefully, with the secrets now in the open, Doran would be able to mend his relationship with Arianne and prepare her for what was to come.

"I think that we should reschedule our talk for later. For now, go and rest. I am sure you need some time to process all that we talked about. Tomorrow I will inform the people of Dorne of your brother's fate and I want you to be there with me and your mother," Doran said and while his voice was soft, Arianne knew that it was more of an order.

She raised her head and met her father's gaze. There Arianne saw the exhaustion behind his eyes and finally realized that this whole ordeal was taking the biggest toll on him. It was probably for the best to wait a few days to continue their talk.

"I will do as you said, father. Good night," with that she stood up and slowly walked out of the study still deep in thoughts.

"Are you sure you know where we are going?" Ralnor inquired as they flew close to the entrance to the forest near Yin.

I had a feeling that the kidnappers would cause some problems so I tried to remember the direction they ran in. Now please keep quiet, it is hard enough to keep my transformation together and trying to find the way, Harry responded in his mind and Ralnor gave a mental nod in response.

The animagus transformation, even though it worked properly, was very hard to keep together. Harry was pretty sure that with enough training it would become easier, but for now, it was taking every ounce of his focus to maintain it. It didn't help that he was the only one who paid attention to where the kidnappers were going. Now he just needed to find the right path.

Thankfully it only took him a few minutes to find the place where the kidnappers passed them, from there Harry flew a bit higher and increased his speed in hopes of catching up to them. Of course, there was a possibility that they changed their direction and they would never find them, but Harry hoped that with the improved vision of falcon, he would be able to follow the tracks they left. There was no way that Harry would be able to keep up with zorses on foot so his animagus transformation was the only way to go.

They couldn't get that far. No more than two hours passed since they passed us so where are you? Harry thought to himself as he flew a bit lower to see if the tracks were still there. Thankfully they were and soon Harry's thoughts were proven true as he finally spotted the group of zorses running between the trees.

Any ideas on how to stop them without risking the boy's life? Harry asked his companion.

"We can either wait for them to stop, take care of the one who carries the boy with them, or just take them all out in quick succession. Personally, I would prefer the last option even if it is more dangerous. Who knows when they will finally stop and we don't have time to make any complicated plans," Rolnor's voice answered after a few minutes of silence.

Harry thought about those options and agreed with Ralnor. Who knew when the kidnappers would decide to stop. Harry didn't have endless reserves of magic to keep his transformation and sooner or later he would need to rest. The question was how to eliminate all of the kidnappers quickly without harming the boy.

They could try and prepare a trap ahead of the kidnappers but they couldn't be sure that the kidnappers wouldn't change their path. Only a direct attack would be able to accomplish what they needed. Ralnor do you think that you would be able to create a stone cage around one of them?

"At their current speed, it could be hard, but not impossible for one target. It would cost a lot of power and I need to be on the ground so the decision is yours," Ralnor responded quickly.

Alright, this is what we are going to do...

"Don't slow down! We will rest during the night," shouted the middle rider who carried their package.

Currently, the five elite riders were traveling in a defensive formation. Their captain and the kidnapped boy in the middle with every other side covered by another rider. It was a simple and useful tactic that would defend their Capitan and target if anything were to attack them.

Not that they expected any encounter, their mission had gone without a hitch, and soon the new Emperor would have the advantage needed to destroy the fool that ruled over Yin.

Unfortunately for the Captain he never expected for the trees before them to explode. Thankfully they were far enough that everyone managed to stop their zorses.

The Captain was just opening his mouth to give the order to move again, but before he could do that, the earth beneath his zorse moved. Four stone walls rose from the earth trapping him in a cage with no exit.

It didn't take long for the Capitan to realize what or rather who attacked them.

A magician. There were not many left of those in the lands of Yi Ti, but most of them lived in hiding or in the courts of powerful people. The Capitan couldn't understand what one of them would be doing in the middle of Yi Ti's forests. From what they knew the current Emperor of Yin didn't have a magician with such abilities, meaning it could only be someone else.

He could only hope that his soldiers would be able to defeat the threat and then free him from the stone prison. Their mission was too important to fail now.

Harry watched surprised as their plan worked better than he expected. Yes, the explosion was meant to slow the company down a bit, but not stop them. Of course, Ralnor was prepared and as soon as he could, he trapped the kidnapper with the boy inside a stone prison. It was strong enough to hold them inside at least until Harry and Ralnor dealt with the rest.

That was exactly what the duo was currently preparing for. All of the soldiers had already dismounted their zorses to inspect the prison and it was the perfect moment to strike.

"I hope that you are not planning to leave any of them alive. We don't need new enemies that would know about our abilities," Ralnor spoke from the side.

"I know. I am far past the point to leave alive something that would bite me in the ass later, especially in this world," Harry replied as he prepared his magic and formed two ice spears in his hands.

"Good," the older man said before looking at Harry's creations with a raised eyebrow, "Are you sure you can hit them from this distance?"

Harry shrugged, "Well, only one way to find out."

With that, the younger wizard used both his magic and strength to hurl both of the ice spears at the unexpecting soldiers. Thanks to Harry's training, the spears hit two soldiers, knocking them to the ground. A moment later and both of them were dead from the magic that was imbued in the spears that pierced them through their chests.

The rest of the soldiers turned in the direction from which the spears came only to be met with two stone golems that resembled a boar.

The animals created by Ralnor didn't waste any time in charging their new foes and before the soldiers could move to defend, they both laid on the ground with their skulls crushed.

"That was a lot easier than I expected," Harry murmured to himself.

Ralnor hearing his companion's opinion couldn't help but say, "Not surprising. You can't really expect some normal soldiers, even if they are highly trained, to combat two mages who got them by surprise. I doubt that they even expected anything to attack them."

"True, but it is still a bit weird for me to fight people who can't use magic. Even in those few years that I am alive in this world, I mostly fought people who had some sort of sorcery available to them."

Ralnor could understand that, "I can see what you mean. Give it a few more years and you will get used to the changes. Just don't get overconfident in your abilities... Now let me deal with the last kidnapper."

Harry nodded and Ralnor approached the stone prison that he created. Then he put a hand on the wall and a second later the soldier inside released a loud scream. When the sound died off Ralnor released the prison and the duo were met with the sight of a dead soldier, a very scared zorse, and a bound boy.

Ralnor quickly snatched the kid from the zorse before it could run away. It was a very good idea as the moment the animal realized it was free, it ran away as fast as it could. Thankfully the rest of the zorses remained, so at least they would have something to ride back on.

Harry looked at the boy as Ralnor freed him from the ropes that bound him and asked, "Is he alright?"

"Only knocked out. I am no healer so I can't really tell you if there is something wrong. At least it will save us the trouble of explaining what I am and how we defeated the group. Now get on one of the zorses, we don't have time to waste, I will help you with the boy."

As Harry had never ridden a normal horse before - Thestrals didn't count -, it was a completely alien experience to him. If it wasn't for Ralnor's help, both Harry and the boy would've fallen from the zorse multiple times. Harry enjoyed the new experience, but with the animagus transformation available to him, a horse would never be his primary method of transportation.

The way back was boring and after some time uncomfortable with the boy sitting in front of him. Finally, after hours of riding the city of Yin again appeared in their vision.

They arrived at the same gate when it was already dark and were greeted the same way as before.

"I am sorry to bother you, but I have an injured child with me and some help would be appreciated," Harry called out as he got off the zorse taking the boy with him.

At first, the guards didn't react but when they saw the boy that Harry carried, one of them ran back through the gate while the other approached the wizard, "The Prince! How!?" the guard shouted, "No matter, come quickly with me!"

Harry nodded and followed the guard through the gate. The inside of the city looked just like Harry expected, but with the current time of the day, the streets were mostly empty.

A moment later a few more guards joined them and took the Prince from Harry, but still told him to follow them. The wizard took this time to think of his current situation, I thought that the kid was some important noble, but a Prince? Bloody hell... Me and my luck.

Ralnor chuckled in his mind, "It is amusing to see it for myself. I am curious about what they are planning to do with you. Will the glamors hold long enough? I don't expect anyone to react positively if your appearance will suddenly change before everyone."

They should last long enough. I might be bad with illusions but I won't fail at something so simple. Besides I think that we have finally arrived, Harry was right as he and the guards were currently approaching a very beautiful palace. It was two-story high and was colored in red and green. Harry couldn't recognize the style, but he was sure any architect from his old world would be salivating at the sight of the building.

Before they could enter the palace the guards requested Harry leave all of his weapons outside. The wizard knew that there was no way around it so he reluctantly gave his swords to one of the guards. Thankfully Blackfyre was wrapped in cloth so no one would be able to recognize the blade.

With the task done the guards led him inside. There the Prince was carried deeper inside the building while Harry was told to wait with two other guards.

It was obvious that no one here trusted him as evident by the number of guards that still remained with Harry in the room, but they were at least civil enough to not point any weapons in his direction. Both Ralnor and Harry were fine with that, as long as they didn't need to fight their way out, they could accept that treatment.

Harry didn't really know how long he sat in the room waiting, but at least it gave him some time to relax after the uncomfortable ride back. Besides, the guards were nice enough to get him something to drink and eat from the servants in the palace.

By the time someone finally came for Harry, the wizard was almost falling asleep.

"We apologize for the long wait, but His Imperial Majesty, the seventeenth azure emperor Bu Gai will see you now," one of the servants spoke in a thick accent. It was good that people here could speak a language that Harry understood.

The servant then led Harry through another few rooms until they stood before a door to another chamber. It was obviously some important room if Harry was to go by the designs and decorations etched in the door.

This time only Harry went inside and was met by the sight of a simple if a bit extravagant study, and a man that sat in a chair behind a desk.

If Harry was to judge, he would say that the man was no older than thirty. He had a strong build, but also all of the traditional features that Harry saw in other YiTish people. his Hair was short and of black coloring, similar to Harry's from his old world. Apart from that, the man wore very beautiful robes that Harry bet cost a fortune, but if he was the Emperor then who could blame him.

How in the hell do you address an Emperor? Harry asked a bit nervously in his mind. He never needed to learn things like that so he really hoped that Ralnor would know.

"Your Highness should be enough, besides I doubt that they expect a foreigner to know all of their customs," Ralnor answered quickly.

Harry sent a mental thank you to his companion before he stood in the front of the desk and bowed deeply, "Your Highness, it is an honor to meet you."

"That will do," Ralnor said with a snort.

The Emperor was obviously pleased by the greeting as he gave Harry a sign to sit down, "Well met stranger. Now before we continue I would be grateful if you could show me your true face and tell me your name."

What? I didn't feel any magic coming from him, how can he see the illusion? Harry thought confused. Obviously his reaction showed on Harry's face if the Emperor's next word were any indication.

"No need to act surprised. Know that while I am not a true magician myself, every Emperor was taught to defend versus sorcerers to some degree. Now if you could remove the illusion," the emperor stated calmly.

Harry nodded slowly and focused on the illusion that hid some of his features. His hair again was again of the snow-white color and his eyes changed from blue to the violet that Harry inherited from his Blackfyre ancestry.

"Interesting," whispered the emperor, "It has been quite a few years since anyone of Valyrian descent visited Yin. Tell me, what is your name?"

"Harry, your Highness," the wizard answered formally. He could give the man his surname, but there was no reason to spread the word that a Blackfyre was running around Yi Ti.

"Harry... hmm I don't think that I ever heard of a Valyrian with such a name. Oh well, it doesn't matter. First, let me thank you for returning my son back to me. The kidnappers took us by surprise and if it wasn't for you I am not sure if my son would have ever returned", the emperor said and this time Harry could feel the gratitude.

"I did what any self-respecting man would do," not really true as even though Harry still had his 'saving people thing', it was heavily muted after all of the events in his old life and now his rebirth. So even though Harry wanted to save the boy, he also did it to enter Yin legally.

"No need to be modest, young man, I am not quite sure how someone of your age managed to recover my son - I hope that you will tell me later -, but you still did it and I will be forever in your debt," Harry was really glad that the emperor didn't ask for any details, he and Ralnor would need to have a long discussion to create a believable tale. Also having an Emperor in your debt could help in the future.

"Normally I would ask you a few more questions, but it is already late and I am sure you are tired. I had a servant prepare a room for you, so I hope that you will accept and stay here for a few days."

Harry nodded, he wanted to stay in Yin for some time anyway, and maybe he could get some interesting information in the Emperor's court.

The Emperor clapped his hands in visible happiness, "Great. One of my servants will be waiting for you outside the door and lead you to your temporary room. Good night."

With the obvious sign that he just got dismissed, Harry stood up, bowed, and left the room. Like the emperor said another servant was waiting for him.

The walk was short and quiet. Harry took this time to memorize as much of the palace as he could, you never know when he would need to make an escape. Plus with the two guards that followed him everywhere, it was obvious that neither the emperor nor the guards trusted him. Understandable and it at least showed that they weren't stupid enough to trust him just for one good deed.

Oh well, not like I need their trust anyway, thought Harry as he laid down on the comfortable bed in his new room.

"So what now? We are in Yin and we even managed to get an audience with the Emperor on our first day. Which in and of itself is very surprising, but I guess that rescuing his son counts for something", Ralnor commented finally.

Harry hummed in agreement as he thought of an answer. He came to Yi Ti without any particular plan, he just wanted to see the part of the world that resembled an old civilization from his old world. From what he knew Yi Ti didn't have any ruins that he would want to explore, so he was going totally blind here.

I guess we'll just stay here for the time being. I want to find out more about this land and I am not in a hurry to leave. It is quite beautiful here, Leng had too many jungles for my taste, maybe it wasn't a plan, but for now, it should be enough. Then just as Harry wanted to finally close his eyes and go to sleep a thought occurred to him, I hope that you have a good imagination as we will need some really good bullshit story to explain how a twelve-year-old managed to defeat 5 kidnappers.

"Shit."

...and that's how I managed to free your son," there is no fucking way that he will believe that, Harry told mentally to his companion as he finished recounting his very modified version of the Prince's rescue to the emperor.

Judging from the Emperor's expression Harry was right. Finally, after a minute of silence, the Emperor sighed and said, "I can see that you obviously won't reveal the whole truth to me and I can respect that. I have met a few sorcerers in my life and all of them were very secretive. It is still hard to believe that a four and ten boy managed to defeat five elite soldiers, but no one really knows the limits of magic. Thank you for telling me all of this and like I said I am in your debt."

Here, Harry finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Emperor was awfully nice to him and it looked like he could get away with his totally bullshit story. It was also good that Harry looked a bit older than he was, it gave him a bit more credibility and he wasn't going to correct them on his age. Now it would probably be a good time to finally discover why the kid was even kidnapped.

"I don't really have anything that I need, your Highness. For now, I only plan to stay in Yin for some time and learn more about the land. But I was hoping to find out why the Prince was kidnapped," maybe not the most formal way to address an Emperor, but Harry never liked to deal with nobles.

The Emperor frowned lightly, "It is not really a secret, but as you are new to our lands I should have expected that you didn't know. You see my father, the previous azure emperor, wasn't the best of rulers. Yi Ti endured many conflicts and civil wars during his reign and even after I took the throne many of my people were still against my dynasty. My power in comparison to the god-emperors of old is very weak. The local governors and tax-collectors have carved out a hundred princedoms among the provinces and most of them don't listen to my orders."

The man then sighed and took a sip of wine from his goblet, "What's worse is that, during the end of my father's rule in Carcosa on the Hidden Sea an exiled sorcerer lord claimed to be the 69th yellow emperor. In addition, a former general called Pol Qo decided to create his own dynasty and is now calling himself the first orange emperor using Trader Town as his capital. So as you see Yi Ti is constantly in conflict. I tried my best to fix the mistakes that my father made, but it will take years and who knows what the other emperors will do in this time."

Harry, who listened carefully to everything the emperor said, couldn't help but feel a bit bad for the man. Three Emperors in one land, it couldn't end well.

"So the kidnapping was ordered by one of the fake emperors?" Harry questioned as he came out of his thoughts.

The Emperor nodded, "It is the most likely scenario. Pol Qo was always more active than the supposed sorcerer so I wouldn't be surprised if he was behind it all."

So the emperor from Trader Town was more active. That was good to know, but Harry would like to find out more about the 'supposed' sorcerer that claimed to be another emperor. After all, Harry wanted to know about everyone who could wield magic. Still, he could discover more on his own, who knew how the emperor would react if Harry asked too many questions.

"Thank you for telling me this, your Highness. I am sure you have more important things to do than talking with me," Harry finally said, hoping to end the subject and move on.

The emperor waved him off, "Don't mention it young sorcerer. Unfortunately, you are right that I have some important things to take care of today. Of course, you are welcome to stay in the palace as long as you need and you will be forever welcome in Yin, but for now, I need to take care of my duties."

Knowing that he just got dismissed again, Harry left the room and decided that maybe it was time to explore some of the city. Thankfully this time only one guard followed him.

Far away in the land of Seven Kingdoms, a Spider sat in one of the rooms of the Red Keep. Being the Master of Whisperers meant you needed to know everything that could affect the realm and Varys took his job very seriously.

Currently, the bald man was reading through the reports that came from Dorne and Essos. It was not common for anything important to happen in the sandy kingdom of Westeros, but now Varys received one and it wasn't short.

The death of Prince Quentyn wasn't something that the Master of Whisperers expected. He was still a young boy so Varys was a bit surprised when he heard that the Prince was killed by pirates.

Thankfully this event shouldn't cause any major problems for the realm so Varys only told his spies to be on the watch for any changes that could occur in the aftermath of the Prince's death. He wanted to know if or when the Martels would do something rash and risk the already fragile peace that reigned in the Seven kingdoms.

Next, the missive that came from Essos was a bit more interesting even if it again had to do with Martels.

It appeared that Prince Oberyn was seen close to the Targaryen siblings and Varys was sure that it wasn't a coincidence. Unfortunately, the Spider didn't receive any more information about this subject and it wasn't something that he could allow.

Varys already had plans for Targaryens and it wouldn't do for the Martels to destroy them. He just might need to accelerate his plans for them.

His little birds would soon have a lot of work to do...

Finally finished.

You guys don't know how hard it was to write this chapter. Between writing characters that I know almost nothing about and then figuring out how much I want to delve into Yi Ti, it was hard.

Like you have read, I put Arianne martel in this chapter. Before anyone flames me that she doesn't act like her book version, I tell you that I don't really care too much. She is needed for the story and I will portray her as I want. Of course, I will try to keep some of her personality, but with the changes I made, she will be OOC. Some of you might not like this, but it is my story so deal with it.

Next the events in Yi Ti. Maybe it wasn't the most interesting part of the chapter, but what happened here will play a big role in future events.

And finally, I gave you a short POV of Varys. Mostly to give you his reaction and plans.

To all of the people who want to see more of the more known places in the GoT/Aoiaf world, I finally will give you what you want in the next chapter. How and why you will find out later.

For now, thank you all for reading and I wish you all a good day or night. Stay safe.
