Chapter 73: Chapter 70
Maximus had left 100 of his Royal Guards to lead the newly acquired soldiers to the Gate which connected to the other side of the wall and castle Black.
While Maximus and the rest of his 900 Royal Guards had flown over the wall. Once they were over the wall, Maximus could see Ramsey Bolton talking with the Lord Commander, who was on top of the wall.
Maximus had Balerion land right in front of Castle Black, in between both Lord Commander Mormont and Ramsey Bolton.
Some Bolton soldiers had already seen Balerion once he flew over the wall and had alerted Ramsey and got into formation with Ramsey behind them.
The Bolton soldiers had formed a shield wall facing Balerion who had landed in front of Castle Black. Shaking in their shoes, the Bolton soldiers had maintained the Shield wall while facing Balerion.
Maximus jumped off Balerion while his Royal Guards had landed around the Bolton army, surrounding them with only 900 men.
Maximus approached the Bolton soldiers with 4 of his Royal Guards, "Ramsey won't come out and talk, don't tell me this dragon here is going to scare you off that much"
Ramsey, hearing what Maximus was saying, gritted his teeth and motioned for his soldiers to make way as he rode his horse to the front of all his soldiers, but he remained behind the first line of soldiers, not daring to get any closer.
"I know who you are, that Emperor from Essos, but why are you here in Westeros If I tell the King that you are here the whole of Westeros will come down on you and that dragon won't be able to save you" Since Dragons have been extinct for almost 150 years Ramsey didn't know how dangerous they were and believed that just one dragon alone wouldn't be able to beat the combined might of the entire Westeros armies.
Plus, the dragon from his view was wearing so metal armor which was probably heavy and would slow it down in actual combat, making it easier to kill.
What Ramsey didn't know was that the armor that he was wearing was actually enchanted with runes, making it weightless to the dragon.
But what Ramsey had said would be perceived as a threat to Maximus and none of his Royal Guards were going to stand by to listen to that since they have a duty to uphold.
One of the Royal Guards had used his bow and shot an arrow directly into Ramsey's head before he could even act or say something else.
As Ramsey's body fell off of his horse, there was a moment of silence before it was broken by one of Ramsey's soldiers, who started yelling as he ran towards Maximus.
The other soldiers soon started following him, breaking their shield wall formation and running like madmen to avenge their lord.
But in the end they would meet the same fate as all other's who raise their swords against Maximus, and that was death.

Meanwhile, Aerella who was in Qohor was meeting with the Military officers who would go and help oversee the three cities of Lys, Tyrosh, and Myr since there have been reports of a rise in rebels who seek to overthrow the new ruling government.
"I want the three of you each to take go to these newly conquered cities and enforce martial Law until the Rebels have been found out" Said Aerella
"Yes Ma'am, but isn't general Julius there, he should be more than capable of handling these Rebels" Said one of the officers
"Yes, but soon his Majesty will begin his campaign into Westeros and when that time comes he will need General Julius to lead a separate army to help him, but if General Julius is still in Myr managing the three cities when his majesty needs him then it will take time to prepare another army, so instead we will recall General Julius now and send you three to manage it" Said Aerella
The three officers nodded, "Then we will head there immediately my lady" The Officer bowed before they left to their new assignments.
As they left the room a maid walked in serving some tea to Aerella "My Lady it seems they already respect you"
"Yeah they do respect me, or they are just scared to offend Maximus since as his future wife and as the person in charge of all the diplomacy of the Empire I do have quite the power in the Empire" said Aerella as she took a sip of the tea
"Also my Lady, this arrived a couple of minutes ago from Lady Olenna of House Tyrell" The maid handed Aerella a piece of paper with House Tyrell's seal on it
Aerella opened the letter and read it 'Dear Lady Aerella of the Empire as you may know of our situation already I will not waste your time with prolonging what I'm trying to ask you, so I have talked with all the Lords of the Reach, and we have come to an agreement to give our absolute loyalty to the Emperor and his Empire and offer Lady Margaery hand in marriage to his Majesty the Emperor. All the Lords of the Reach are now at his command
though we hope to keep this a secret so that My son Doesn't get executed in Kingslanding for treason against the King and in hopes to deepen our relationship and show our trust in his Majesty, we have sent Lady Margaery along with an offer of tribute to Qohor to show our Loyalty'
Aerella put the paper down as she smiled.
"Some good news My lady" Asked the Maid
"Yep, we have just acquired us a great asset to use once his majesty launches a full scale invasion of Westeros" Said Aerella as she rubbed her stomach
"Though I hope the war doesn't last too long, so his majesty can see the gift sent from the heavens" Said Aerella as she sipped her tea while smiling.
The maid was surprised since she understood what Aerella was talking about, but then she returned to normal after a while, keeping what Aerella said to herself.
