Maleagant Bolton stood in front of his army, Ser Dwayne was standing to his right, Berenger and Beringar behind him. "Men!"he yelled,"the Dreadfort is ours again! The man that killed the rightful ruler is now our prisoner!"
Though i doubt he'll live very long.
"With no other legitimate heir present,i will take the task of ruling the Dreadfort on myself! I will say it now,we will change! Hendry was right, we were weak, the fact that he was able to take over proves it!As of today, i will not allow any weakness in my army! If i catch a guard sleeping, i will make sure he never wakes! If any soldier neglects his duty, he will be disciplined!If any man, highborn or not, harasses even the most lowborn peasant, i will see to his punishment myself! And rip his damn skin off. "Each will be rewarded according to his accomplishments! Many Boltons have died,their lands and positions will go to those that deserve it the most!Hendry killed my family, yet i believe he acted alone,and i will not sink to his level! The Dustins shall keep all the lands and positions they now hold, for i will not allow any man to be punished for another man's actions!"
He gave the Ironhammer a quick glance."As of now,ser Dwayne Ironhammer will be leading you!He speaks with my authority,so you will listen to him! Now,return to your duties!"
The soldiers gave one loud cheer of "Lord Bolton!", before they went to resume their tasks.Maleagant now turned to the Ironhammer.
"I want you to train them well,ser,not only in the arts of war,but also in the arts of the mind.Discipline them,if that's needed.I have forgiven you your crimes,yet i haven't forgotten them. Cruelty is a weapon to be used on enemies who have lost the right of a honorable treatment, it is not to be used on the innocent smallfolk. Tomorrow,you will send a group of soldiers to every village that has been harmed by the wars,or by yourself or other soldiers when you where scattered. You will repair the damages you made,help the peasants,and even give them money to help them. Strip the Dreadfort of every painting, jewel,statue or other valuables to raise enough money, for strong people do not need any luxuries. And you will make them strong. Increase the guards and the outriders, I do not want anyone approaching the Dreadfort without me knowing it. Recruit new men,fortify the walls.In other words,atone for your past crimes by making us strong."
"As my lord commands!"Ser Dwayne said with a bow.
Maleagant nodded and walked away,to his personal chambers.
Now i only have one person to repay.The one person i can never forgive.
results:
Maleagant Bolton is now lord of the Dreadfort
Ser Dwayne Ironhammer is now the battle-commander
The Dreadfort is stripped of it's valuables,raising many dragons,which will be used to help the smallfolk.
Though i doubt he'll live very long.
