Chapter 38: Slow but planned
I want to address the fact that this story is slow, it goes through each moment of the series and how the Mc tries to change things. Shae was placed to watch Alicent, one because gold is more valuable to those desperate for it, two the maids within his brother's house can not be trusted.
The ming are warriors, not assassins most of the time, they can not always be there to watch over everything, that's impossible, even for little birds.
The Mc has mental problems, not to the point of full on break downs or things of that nature, no he has been killing from when he was a child, watched his son kill his wife, burn his people, and killed his son so yeah kinda messed up.
Fortassax spreads madness, which causes friend or foe to kill each other, sending your men into cities or villages, and having them know what is about to happen can mess you up. A very big reason why he is called the mad prince. The mc messed up in his youth and became a sword for his brother, giving up the seat of king when Viserys offered it, because he knew he was not fit to be king.
The secrets of the mc are only known by, the mc, Viserys, and Daemon, one of the reasons why nothing beside the mc killing is known, is because the septa would never let a king who can not be manipulated sit on the throne, the mc allowed his brother to do so because it's a hard to do whatever you want to the king when your brother will kill his own people to show "I am here.." this point in the story.
The mc knows his brothers heir is coming, that there is no longer a need to be as he was before, all he wishes is for a home, and to put down his sword, but it seems something is always happening.
The mc will have children, and they will affect the plot but things as always, don't go as planned in Hotd.
Rhaenys is old, having a child by the mc is already showing problems, so do with that what you will, Alicent is a big point in this part because she is free from her father while the mc is within the keep but he won't always be there.
How would Otto react when the king tells him about how Maliketh feels about the throne, what will he do while the mc is away with his ming? and how can Shae do anything as a single woman but try and help Alicent from the shadows.
What will the mc come home to when the war within the step stones is over, how will the 3 brothers act when Viserys makes a mistake, and Daemon runs away to dragon stone when all of this shit happens.
Everything I've done is a piece within the wheel of the story I want to create, is it the best? No, but is it something that will throw twist and turns in the story, yes. Alicent love for the mc, Rhaenys thoughts on the future, Viserys mistake to "help the relm", Otto willingness to do anything to put his blood on the throne, these are all questions that I want to answer as I write.
The mc is a bad ass, but he is not a God, men will always do as men do in their want for power.
