Previously on A Song of Storm and Hammer

Not long after, they are in the courtyard

As they are nearing to a stop, They notice the Large number of Nobles waiting for them including even the Riverland lords one of them appeared to be Bryndan Tully the Blackfish (Yes, i want him alive, and let's just say he was captured and not killed), Bronze Royce Officers from the Golden Company likely one of them in their leader

Then there's the Starks Margery spotted Sansa with her red hair and beside her is a handsome man of 6 ft tall, though broad but lean built which was unsual for a northmen which Olenna shared the same though and there is no doubt that is Jon Snow

Then there's another person which stands out that brough them interest, a man of 8 ft tall same size as the mountain though seeing and looking at him "That is no brute" Olenna whispered which her family heard

"Agreed, i know savage when i see one, but that man carried himself with nobility something even Gregor clegane was not" Said Garlan something on him felt a chill staring at the man, something about him screaming not to fight for his life sake this is not someone that should be challenge with "Whoever is that man is, we should not underestimate him his size already given factor but the way he stands out is something the matter no brute like him should be like that" which they agreed even Mace for all his pompous attitude even he himself felt little which at least made Olenna sight in relief and wonder that even for the 1st time they met for this man made such a powerful presence

"let us meet with them" Said Olenna as the door open and they are escorted to the North Royal family

Present

As the Tyrells entered and face off the Starks, Olenna, Margery and Garlan looked at Ronan analyzing him for anything as Garlan also focus on their surrounding same as Loras looking for any threat

upon closer look they could see the hand's pin "This must be the mysterious hand of the king, Ronan Belleza" Though of Olenna as she eyed Ronan

With it, the Lords Bow and ladies curtsied the northerners do the same

"Welcome to Winterfell, Lord Tyrell and your family" Said Jon in diplomatic tone, being tutored by his sister, Davos and Ronan

"We appreciate your courtesy your grace" Said Mace in a diplomatic talk as well as feeling intimidated by Ronan's mere presence though he is not alone all of their contingent are also unnerve at his presence

Sansa noticing of their subtle glance at Ronan she introduce him "Let me introduce our Hand of the King, this is Ronan Belleza" Said Sansa, they find it that Ronan prefers not to call his titles which when he do, well everyone was all speechless of how many it is it was few minutes yet he claims it would take hours which they have to either shorten or don't speak it at  all which would be the better, as he claims some of those said titles are rediculous claiming it to be some competition with his fellow ancient king before

With it Ronan made a bow "It is nice to meet the esteem family of house Tyrell and i'am honored to meet as well to Lady Margery, your beauty does gives justice" Said Ronan in a charming tone

For Margery's part she felt her cheeks heat up as she also curtsy towards the larger man, he spoke like a noble men of his station as was expected of him there is also a degree of how he bows of how smooth it is that put a shame to other noble men she knew which added some unnerving feelings towards him "I thank you for your compliment lord hand" Said margery

With it, Olenna having enough "Can we go inside now? i'am already cold and i won't stand this for long" said Olenna with her infamous blunt manner

Jon snow nod to Olenna "Please come inside and have bread and salt" Said JOn as he guided them to the great hall

Time skip

4 days later

In those 4 days Margery and Jon have talk a lot knowing each other, Margery found Jon to be her liking due to his honorable and loyalty as well as being blunt and truthful and have a hard time to lie which she found it endearing and she promise him to be as truthful to him as possible

She even earned his direwolf companion Ghost loyalty since Ghost find her to be trust worthy which made Margery endear to the wolf, that a direwolf find her to be worthy of his master and promise herself that she won't be a unfaithful towards him since Ghost is approve to her despite that of all her flaws she would make sure that Ghost and jon's family won't be disappointed to her as well as his people, she will do everything she can to earn that loyalty to the Northmen and would be look up as their queen

Garlan play some chess with Ronan, Garlan found himself to be always defeated as many lords before him told him that Ronan was never beaten by such a compititor and promise him to Lord Tarly if they have the time to face

Not only that, Ronan have spar with them and even along with several man Ronan beaten them all single handedly, that which he have to admit that Ronan maybe the only one who can go toe-to-toe against the likes of Arthur Dayne sword of the Morning, Barristan Selmy the bold or even the Kingslayer himself when it comes to single combat

Many times have Ronan put down Mace tyrell whenever the fool was pompous and arrogant which Olenna find some amusement to Ronan and find herself even more curious at the young hand, they all have agreed that Ronan is no brute and could fight in such unnerving way that Garlan would not face him in battle

Jon made friends with the other Tyrells though he found a hard time to be with Olenna but her sharp and blunt tone makes it easier at least, He told them about Samwell Tarly which Margery was delighted to hear and Jon told them all about the positive thing about his friend and the only thing negative is his cowardice but with a good heart which is not a bad thing as it was rare to find someone like Sam and they frowned to his father about hearing of why Sam was at the Night;s watch, after hearing that Olenna made some arrangement if the boy wants to go to Citadel without his father interference and was impressed when she learned that Jon send sam to the Citadel

Olenna have a private talk with Ronan, She and him are alone

Ronan was writing as well as ready to listen

Olenna's sharp eyes look at Ronan's personality "He is writing, not in a pretending way, and sure as hells he is no Tywin Lannister who is showing control, he is even willing to listen despite writing" Though of Olenna then again Tywin whenever he is writing is not to be disturb no matter how long whether he writing or not it's a show of control though this Belleza is not she could tell he knows how to Multi-task she have heard and witness of his many talents whenever he is not in duty and everything about him was almost look like perfect which again another list of unnerve her

"Is there something the matter Lady Olenna?" Said Ronan

"I find you quite Curious Lord Belleza" Said Olenna

"And what kind of Curiosity my Lady?" Said Ronan still writing for some orders that would help the North as well as the Riverland and Vale

"The Northmen themselves have the look of Reverence even the Starks, they look up to you, even the Riverman and Valeman have such look into you... what kind of man are you my Lord?" said Olenna

Ronan chuckled as he stop writing "A man who is willing to look to it's people and the kingdom, they wanted prosperity then i will give it to them" Said Ronan

"Yet, what is it your game you play?" Said Olenna

Ronan raise his eyebrow it might be unnusual for her to ask that kind of blunt question "The only game i play, is to make sure that the kingdom of the North will have it's independence and self-suffient enough that it would not rely to other kingdoms" Said Ronan

Olenna let out a snort "And this marriege between your king and my Granddaughter was merely a stop gap is it not? i've seen glass gardens are increasing numbers it suggest to me that the North is willing to adopt and prosper, but where did they get that money made it even more curious" Said Olenna "The Sellsword company and Sellsail fleet are yours that you funded it by your own pocket, it's strange for a unknown man such as yourself is have such wealth"

Ronan smirk "Trust me my lady, i have enough wealth to buy an enough army to conquer the 7 kingdoms, but my interest is here, and if Queen Cersie prove to be such a bitch then she would be dealt with in time of course, the Golden Company with their reputation alone might stall them enough for the Northern kingdom to fortify it's defense along with Moat Catlin to be fully restored, but alas the Neck would be do so for now and i'am administered for infrastructure and agriculture to make the North self-sufficient and enough defense itself from invaders from all side"

"I can see that" Said Olenna with a huff, the man was competent even better than Tywin, she could tell, his short stay here have proof enough, roads are repair, the lands are patrolled both coast of the west and east are well defended with coastal defense to deter invasion fleet as well as the well trained army and well equip the Northerners appeared to have increasing to have better weapons and armour and if she would honest herself they might be able to rival the other wealthy kingdoms in terms of equipment as it appears not just stark soldiers but also other houses as well

"And Where do you from Lord Belleza? i can't place your accent and the way how you cloth yourself, and i have heard every accent i needed to know, where are you from Essos?" Said Olenna

Ronan smirk "That's the secret my lady" Said Ronan

"You are a hard man to read lord Belleza" Said Olenna with a smile "And i love a challenge, you already given me some headache"

"And i'm sure you won't last as long as of course you won't bother me doing my duty" Said Ronan

the two smirk, though Olenna inspect looking at his eyes and it shivers to her spine, she mighr be old but she knows old people when she see one, his eyes alone tells her that he might be older than he looks

"Good day my Lady, feel free to come and have conversation with me" Said Ronan as he stood and escort Olenna out from his solar as he have other things to do

Scene Change

Margery's chamber along with her brothers "Aren't you worried for that beast?" Said Loras in worried tone as he look at Ghost who is leaning comfortably at Margery's lap

"Why would i?" Said Margery as she affectionally pat his snout which Ghost  cuddle to her, she giggled "See, why would i be in danger for such an adorable wolf?" she ask in an innocent tone

"You worry too much brother" Said Garlan as he look outside of the window "This wolves are known for their loyalty, i doubt he would bite her anytime soon just becuase she could not fed him"

"Willas would be jealous of you two by now since he won't be seeing a direwolf" Said Margery knowing her brother's habit of breeding hounds which is are formidable

"Yes he would, if he wasn't given order to stay, he would have ask many question by now" Said Loras with a chuckle

"Still do you find it strange for Lord Belleza?" Said Garlan as he face his siblings

"Other than his imposing height and formidable warrior? nothing much" Said Loras with a shrugged

"if you have look closely Loras, you would notice that every Nobles and even small folks followed his command with almost no question" Said Margery

"Isn't he the hand of the king? i mean his the 2nd most powerful man in the North so they would have follow him" Said loras in confusion

"No, brother" Said Garlan "Even Jon snow follows him, yes he maybe humble but there is more than meets the eye when it comes to Lord Belleza, this is someone who knows that his command will follow and expected to be followed

and he is quite charismatic too, simple command are being followed and almost no lord appeared to  question it, they simply followed when they of course understand it"

"Do you think he is like to be the likes of Tywin, Jon Arryn and other competent hand?" Said Loras

"No Loras, i think he is beyond competent, you've seen the North it might not be entirely but i know that this is his doing, even King Jon admit it as such, it all his ideas and administration of why the North is quite prosperous and would overshadow us in the coming years to come" Said Garlan

"And the future of the North maybe have a better with this man as their hand" Said Margery with a smile

"You think so Sister?" Said Loras

"Grandmother have talk to him and also i, we all see his works, everyone talks highly of him so yes i believe with him as a hand he will make the North Better" Said Margery

Scene Change

Witerfell Forge

Ronan have to upgrade the forges in Winterfell there he would meet master Mikken after said upgrade he teach the smiths about a better techniue and a better forge to create better weapons and armor for their soldiers that which they believe that they might be able to surpass the other wealthy house with high quality weapons

Ronan have studied the Valerian steel, he snorted at that and forge a better weapon than the valerian steel, he chose a few among the smiths who can be trusted as well as the best of their chosen profession including Mikken whom feel to be a apprentice again under to their god no less

There Ronan look at the tall young man who appeared to be 6'3 ft tall with broad shoulder and sweating as he hammer a sword, he has black hair and blue eyes

"Gendry" Ronan Called the young bastard son of Robert Baratheon

After some of Davos trips, he was able to smuggle Gendry away from the King's landing and noted that he gotten better of his forging due to being under some of the best Black smith in the King's landing

There Ronan seen Gendry's position he quickly took him under apprenticeship as well as teaching him how to be a lord, which Gendry refuse it at first but reluctant which Ronan likes him even more, he and Jon snow begun fast friend 

Many have think of Gendry as young Robert reborn, Gendry have told them he have been Arya's companion and have separated with her by the red priest name Milisandre, Davos frown at that since he had seen the aftermath of the sacrifice of Shireen

Ronan groomed him to be the Warden of the Stormland hopefully the Nobles would accept him, and he have sent invitation of the Stormlands to come to the North for an alliance and if possible Accept Gendry as the new wardan as Jon would legitimize Gendry once the Stormlands bend the knee to Jon or perhaps to be allied with since they are still an enemy to the Lannisters 

"My lord hand" Said Gendry after he stop forging

"You've gotten better, good" Said Ronan with a smile as he looked at the dozen of Swords and shields as he inspecting it "You'll going to learn how to forge a better weapon that surpass the Valerian steel"

Gendry nod "Still are you sure of the Stormlands would accept me?" Said Gendry

"Hopefully" Ronan said in a blunt tone "If not you might as well be given a keep in the North, since there are many abandoned Castle and i already convey of where you can stay" he said as he folded his hands in his back

"Do you think Arya would accept the Marriage proposal?" Said Gendry, he likes Arya because of her personality 

"Base on her personality, likely not, unless of course convincing method have to be said" Said Ronan "And i can tell you would let her of who she really is"

"I don't mind her to use weapons though" Said Gendry

"Good, you already know who i'am and you are of my blood never forget that" Said Ronan as he leave Gendry "Come Gendry i have a lot of paperwork to do, and i need of a assistance"

Gendry nod as he put the sword in the water to cool before putting it to the other weapons he forge, he have been staying here for at least 2 weeks now and he is a fast learner and he still could heard of some lords compared him to his dead father he frown, he still needs to how to rule by doing assistance to his many times Great grandfather

Scene Change

Dragonstone 

"What did just said?" Said Daenrys as she stood from her throne

"two of the Cities that you conquered, was reconquered by the masters your grace" Said Varys "Only one remains left Meereen"

"If it does, you will have no place to retreat Queen Denaerys" Said Tyrion he could see the potential con in that "If we go back your grace we might as well as handing the westeros to Cersie and consolidate her power"

Denaerys gritted her teeth as she scrolwed "We cannot return back and reinforce Daario, we are now here in westeros, we cannot go back, my conquest of liberating westeros from Tyranny is about to begin and so far ONLY DORNE has answered the call, what are the Stormlands, The North, Riverland, Vale and Even Reach? i would have expect the Tyrells to bend like other loyalist why not?" she said as she controlled her anger

Tyrion gulped at "Your grace the rumors of how you burn and even crusify the masters is already made them doubt of your sanity, some saying you are your father's daughter" Said Tyrion in a careful and caution tone

Denarys scroweled "And the North have they sent the word yet?" Said Denaerys

"We already sent it your grace" Said Tyrion "But replying would take some time, the North has still fresh mind of Aerys, you would do remember that and they do not forget so lightly as things as horrible as this" he have warned Denaerys of conqering Westeros before and she din't listen, hells he was expecting the Reach to be the 1st ones to bend since they have many loyalist there but it appears they are unfortunate as they haven't even sending letters to bend the knee to Denaerys, "Likely lady Olenna's work" Though of Tyrion as she is likely the only one that can stop such proclamation

Westerland and stormland are out of the question, the Crownlands are debatable at the moment, the North as well as Vale and Riverland due to Stark's marriege to Catylen Tully and the Vale won't likely bend to a probability that Denaerys was another mad queen

"What other news i need to interest?" Said Denaerys

"The North's new hand of the king" Said Varys "Ronan Belleza"

Denaerys glance at Varys "New hand? din't you mention it was ser Davos?"  she ask

"I did your grace" Said Varys "From what i've heard from the last of my little birds in the North, this man appeared suddenly in the court and not long after Ser Davos step down and gives the pin to this Belleza no lord protested even the Starks agreed to it"

"And what is his capable of?" Said Denaerys

"Unknown your grace, apart from their songs in the Vale the man barely stayed for a week and the Valean wildlings are pacified that would not be a threat to the Vale for long" Said Varys

Tyrion was intrigue to hear that still the Wildling won't go that easily especially the Valeans have a hard time to kill them all since they are hiding and the lack of proper commander to finish them all of, but yet this man appeared and stayed a week ended it compared to the centuries of Valeans have tried

"Is he a threat?" Said Deanarys

"Without knowing much of him, we do not know for sure" Said Varys he was frusted of how a man like Ronan to appear and suddenly assumed the 2nd most powerful position without knowing his reputation

"Try everything you can to know about this Belleza" Said Daerys

For all the spies in Essos Ronan have to spare certain group, since no one knows of his description with only with Ser Davos that are certain of his allegiance
