[One Month Later]
The money I needed was finally here, one million and two hundred thousand gold dragons, with it, I would buy the unsullied and destroy Astapor.
During this month, I had increased my animal friends with different animals.
I had acquired two hundred owls, three thousand rats, two thousand mice, and around two hundred new snakes.
It was in the end quite a productive month, now it was time to move forward and show the masters the power of irony.
"Missandei, today will be the fall of Astapor," I smiled at the little girl, who looked at me for a second with confusion flowering inside of her, during this month she had tried to figure out what type of master I was, expecting physical, or perhaps sexual abuse, but I had proven her multiple times that I was not like the bastards she served in Astapor, a part of her already knew this, but she was still reluctant to believe such thing existed and was afraid to let her guard down, but we were getting there.
"This one will be your side," Missandei smiled almost imperceptibly.
*Can I burn them now?* Neltharion inquired as he got out of the bed.
I looked at Neltharion, who had grown a lot during this month going from dog size to bear size and smiled, "Yes, yes you can,"
Neltharion looked at me with a wide smile as he hissed, *You won't regret it dad! I will burn them all, I'll make you proud!*
I chuckled at his enthusiasm, "Yes you will,"
The plaza of pride, was just like everything in Astapor; in a pitiful state, that made you wonder how the fuck they got to that point, but I wasn't here for the sights anyways. I was here for the unsullied.
With them I would destroy this city and rebuild it from the ashes.
My plan was simple to use their own product to destroy them, but it seemed the master's stupidity was beyond what even I had expected, because not only they were selling me every unsullied soldier available in their rooster, with a few minor exceptions, but they had also allowed my army to enter the city this time.
So instead of the original fourteen thousand soldiers I expected to have during this raid, because I expected them to have some brains, or at least a sense of self-preservation, I would have around twenty nine thousand soldiers and a Dragon, which would make this siege this massacre incredibly easy.
Joffrey had dismissed me from the Kingsguard, saying I was too old to be serving as a knight, but that wasn't the real reason behind my discharge.
In an unprecedented and unexpected move, from Lord Varys, I had been discharged under the grounds that I did not keep King Robert safe, and that age was starting to hit me.
But that was just the tip of this political iceberg, I was old not senile, I knew The Lannisters motivations, were to allow the brat to give a white cloak to his dog, Sandor Clegane, and to allow Queen Cersei Lannister to place her brother Jaime as the new Lord Commander with a seat on the small council.
I was angry at this, I had served against my beliefs for my entire life, and this is how I get paid for my services, but I was also happy.
After all, I've burned away my years fighting for terrible kings...as man of honor I had to keep my vows, even if I was serving a drunk or a lunatic. And just for once in my life, before it comes to an end, I want to know what it's like to serve with pride, to fight for someone I believe in.
With that in mind, with the opportunity to serve someone I believed in, I was on my way to Essos.
"I will use what is left of my life to clean my sins with my blade," I muttered, holding the hilt of my blade tight.
[Tywin Lannister POV]
I leave for one week, one fucking week, and my children fuck everything once again!
While it was true Ser Barristan Selmy was old, his name brought fear into the hearts of our enemies. An asset we needed more than ever.
But the idiot I had for a daughter had to meddle in matters that didn't concern her and hurt our side even more.
If the old knight decided to serve Renly, Stannis or the Mormont brat it would hurt us to no end.
I now had to do some damage control, before things escalated.
"It's almost like my children want to lose this war," I muttered.
[Back to Ronard POV]
Taking Astapor was easy, after a few hours, I had complete and absolute control over the city.
I was richer, because while the city looked shit, it was loaded with gold, literally.
My army was still pulling gold out of the city and by my estimate, I had not only recovered what I had paid for the unsullied but had made that about. over ten times already.
My army was officially in the one hundred thousands, counting the men I had on Westeros.
Things were going great today for me.
"You really meant what you said," Missandei said in disbelief.
"I do," I nodded, ruffling her hair a bit, "Take a good look around, for this is what will happen to every slaver in the known world,"
Missandei stood silent for a second seeing the dead masters on the streets, before she turned her gaze to me with a smile, "You said that it was this one choice if this one wanted to serve you or not, well, this one wants to, this one want to serve the breaker of chains, the father of dragons, the Khal of the West, this one want to serve you!"
Holy moly, I stole Daenerys mojo, "And I'll be glad to have you under my wings,"
