After he was done with settling the children down and telling Elina to oversee the situation. He returned to the House of Undying. He walked outside the building and cast a powerful Fiendfyre. He burnt the building right to the ashes.
He also noticed that the empty area around the now burnt House of Undying had again started to grow small plants.
~Maybe, it was that ancient tree of death, sucking out the life off the earth around it~
Alexander helped the plants grow and turned the area into a small jungle. This was by far the worst experience Alexander had gone through since he arrived in the world. He was now wondering, If Qarth was this bad then what about other places?
"Boss, I'm done with the Pureborns. Most of them were involved in slavery. I had to kill them. The remaining were obliviated. However, I also found a man who was trying to start a revolution and take over the city. I read his mind, he wanted to banish slavery." Dobby reported him.
"What's his name?" Alexander asked.
"Francisco, he's not from here," Dobby answered.
"Alright, let's go and meet the guy. After that, we'll deal with the merchant guilds" They apparated to the Hall of thousand thrones.
Dobby took him to a young man, probably in his 20s. "So, you are the man Dobby talked about. Why do you want to free the city?" He asked.
"Because I saw injustice happen here. From where I am from, we are told to rise up to help those in need," Francisco solemnly replied.
"Noble ideals you have there. Where are you from?"
"I am from Carcosa, It is located on the southeastern shore of the Hidden Sea within the Mountains of the Morn," Francisco answered.
"Oh, so you're from the further east. I've heard that your ruler is a sorcerer lord claiming to be the 69th yellow emperor of Yi Ti. Is that real?"
"Yes, he is a sorcerer, but not like the warlocks or ones in Asshai. He calls himself a light sorcerer. He cares for all his people too. Enough about me, what are you going to do with Qarth now?" He questioned.
"Well, we've taken the city. I've destroyed the House of Undying. Pureborns are gone. I am going to banish slavery. No king or prince will sit here. A governor appointed by me will run the city, by my orders," Alexander briefly answered.
"If what you say is true, then I have nothing to worry about. Your name is quite famous, Lord Stark. The oppressed people of Qarth quite admire the way you treat non-nobility in your kingdom." Francisco praised.
"Hahaha... Stop flattering me now, kid. What will you do now? Wanna join me in organizing this city?" Alexander asked.
"No, I and my friends would rather go somewhere else where we can help people. My work here is already done. Thanks to you." He gave a slight bow.
"Good, take this coin. If someday, you are in need of help. Show it to a Northern naval soldier or merchant. They will help and even bring you to me if need be. I wish you good luck" Alexander handed him a dark silver coin.
"I can smell big ambitions from this man. Taking over Qarth with such ease," Tywin spoke.
"What does he want? He's already the strongest in terms of everything. Does he want the Iron Throne?" Kevan interjected.
"Haha... You won't understand what he just did if you haven't sailed the seas. You have no idea how hard it is to take over Qarth. They are very strong and don't forget their warlocks either. But by far the biggest thing is Jade Gates. Now, Starks will control the trade throughout the world and will make more money than we can imagine. Though I'm happy that he abolished slavery." Gerion spoke in his always happy face.
"Yes, you are right, Gerion. North was already impenetrable with all their defenses. Now they are invincible. If someone attacks them, they can simply destroy their trade. We must do something. The Lion must make a move." Tywin said, not letting much out.
"I hope you won't do something that we'll regret" Gerion straightforwardly said.
"And I don't need advice from the family joker," Tywin coldly retorted.
...
Sunspear, Dorne.
"Still don't want to talk to Lord Stark? It's probably only him who can help us get justice. Don't forget how angry he had gotten with Robert in the throne room that day." Oberyn persuaded his brother.
"Now he has reconciled with the usurper," Doran replied.
"Seriously, even I can see that what Lord Stark did was to save the realm from Lannisters. You weren't the one who talked to Rina. That little girl told me some things about Lord Stark. He's a man of honor and justice. He's a man who if sees something bad happening, would jump to help without thinking twice, and now, all of Westeros fear him." Oberyn retorted. What he heard from Rina, about Alexander taking in hundreds of orphans and sheltering them, made him see Alexander in another light.
"Still, we should wait longer. I don't want to cause our demise due to some foolish decision," Doran calmly responded.
"WHEN? when will that dornish blood boil? How long will Elia's murderers roam freely? You should be ashamed of calling yourself her brother," Oberyn angrily yelled and left.
He had enough of it. The newspapers had reported multiple times about more crimes being committed by Gregor Clegane and Amory Lorch.
