"What do you mean by that?" Obryen asked me.
Looking at him I said "As I have said, the White Walkers from the legend's are marching South from the Land of Always Winter. How long till they reach the Wall? I have no idea. But, I would like to be prepared to face them while you guy's play the Game Of Thrones here."
Then looking at all of them I said "Now, onto the immediate matter. I'll be executing Peter Baelish for the instigation of war between house Lannister and house Stark. With him, some of the Lannister men will die as they have killed the Northerners that came with Ned."
"Like I would let you do it." Tywin said.
Smiling at him I said "You can try, but if you need your daughter and grandkids alive you will be sacrificing those soldiers."
Tywin's eyes started to show fury as he spat "You must remember that the Lannister always pays their debt."
"Well, this was started by your kids, specifically by Jaime and Cersei. So I would say I'm collecting my debt from you." I told him with a smile but showing fury of my own through my eyes. "I will be discussing that with you personally so stay back." Then looking at Hoster Tully and Ronnel Arryn I said "House Tully and House Arryn need to come to terms with each other. Lord Hoster, your daughter poisoned Lord Jon Arryn as Peter instructed. I don't want a war between the Vale and Riverrun. And, even if you do, don't expect any kind of support from the North at all. Before you two say anything, listen to me. My brother Eddard was a ward at Vale you all know that, so if he knew who was the murderer of a man who he respected he would hunt him or her down. Now, Catelyn is my sister in law, and she definitely will try to help Lysa, and that will create a rift between Catelyn and Ned."
"But Lord Stark, we need to execute the one who killed our Lord." Ronnel said.
"I know, well all of this started because of this bastard here, so we will be publicly executing him announcing his crimes and no the 'Royal' family will not attend the execution. You two need to reach a common ground as Robert Arryn is Jon Arryn and Lysa Tully's son, so don't make that kid's life miserable." Pointing at Ronnel I said "He's your Lord." Then pointing at Hoster ``He's your grandson. So reach a common ground that can be accepted by both parties."
Turning towards others I said "For your information, there are four people who have proclaimed themselves as the King. Joffrey Baratheon, Stannis Baratheon, Renly Baratheon and Balon Greyjoy. As I have said before, the North will not be supporting anyone at all."
"The Dorne also will not be supporting any of the Kings for their war, we're sending our force to the North." The Red Viper said.
Hoster and Ronnel also decided to stay neutral, but Hoster only agreed to it after Tywin Lannister agreed to compensate for what the Mountain had done in Riverrun.
As they all came to an agreement I said "Peter Baelish will be executed publicly and all of those who helped him out will be sent to the Wall."
Next thing I did was drag Peter through the streets and on the same execution stage that was set up for Ned, I told the citizens what had happened in the past days. Excluding the part about the Lannister sibling incest.
Before, Ned Stark was given a chance to confess his crimes, but to Peter it was straight to beheading as I didn't want him to babble about things that he knows.
As for Varys, I left him alone as I had gotten information on how he has been plotting for the arrival of the Young Griff. When the time is right, I'll be taking both his and the Young Griff's head.
----------------------------------------
After the execution of Peter and sending some of the City Guards to the Wall with Yoren, Rodrik Stark met up with Tywin Lannister in private.
Looking at the Old Lion, Rodrik said "Your son, crippled my nephew, your grandson sent an assassin to kill my nephew and almost killed my brother, your daughter ordered the death of innocent men of the North when my brother gave her a chance to leave Kings Landing. Now, you owe me quite a lot Tywin."
"What do you want?" Tywin got straight to the point.
Smiling at him, Rodrik said "I'll be taking the hand that pushed my nephew, I'll be taking Tommen and Myrcella with me to torment your dear daughter, as for Joffrey? He will get what he deserves in the future."
Scowling Tywin said "You think I will agree with that?"
"Oh you will. You think if you deny to acknowledge that your son and daughter are in an incestuous relationship and that your grandkids are your only grandkids, as their father and mother both are your children. And for your information, currently the North will be the safest place for both of them as I will be there with my wife and daughters." Rodrik told Tywin.
Nodding at Rodrik Tywin asked "If I sent both of them as wards under you, that is making me owe you one more."
"Yeah, for that, I will need you to get me as much dragon glass as possible." Rodrik said.
"Sure, but where can I find them?"
With a wicked smile Rodrik replied "You can find it in Dragonstone."
The scowl increased on Tywin's face as Rodrik informed him where to find them. Then looking at Rodrik said "I could always let them stay at the Rock."
"Oh you could. But you have to know, no one can buy my men to betray me and my orders." Rodrik said.
Tywin just nodded as he knew that pretty well as he had tried in the past but failed miserably. Looking at Rodrik, Tywin said "Alright, but know that the day Tommen or Myrcella get hurt, the Western Lands will march North, even if the famed Shadow Army is present there."
"Be my guest." Rodrik agreed to that.
After that was settled, Tywin left and a couple of minutes later Oberyn came in alone.
Looking at Rodrik he said "I never thought that I'll be seeing you in Westeros after what happened to your father and brother."
"For the sake of my family I'll go wherever I deem it to be worthy." Rodrik said.
"I know." Oberyn said, then with a smile he asked Rodrik "So how's Ashara and the kids?"
