Thrid Person POV
Westeros, 295 AC.
---------------------------------------
The room fell silent for a while; Jon did not want to interrupt his hosts, even though the situation seemed quite odd at that moment.
Arya looked at Jon for answers, while he just sighed and looked toward Wils, who was the most talkative. But before he could respond, his grandmother interrupted again.
"Well, all right then. We've heard about your business and we would like to hear it," Olenna turo Jon again with a knowing look.
"Alright," Jon said as everyoled in. There were a few chairs, and Maded up sitting in the main one, but without saying much, looking just like a puppet to fill the image of the pce as a Lord.
Joe remaianding at the entrance, looking at everyone waiting for him to start. He took a step forward and began: "Well, let's begin then. As you know, my name is Jon Artid I e from a kingdom beyond this one, built in the north of the Wall, and I am here for business."
"We've heard a lot about it, it's impressive, especially what we've heard about what you trade, mainly your ice sales, that's quite iing. But I heard some rumors about you having strange boxes to be able to transport them, being the only one who do so," Lord Hightower asked immediately, after all it was good to know if they could copy this business and Jon knew very well of their iions, as he came to Westeros knowing he would enter greedy people everywhere.
"Don't be so hasty, Lord Hightower. Let the boy speak for his own products." Olenna intervened, although she seemed to provoke Jon by calling him a boy. Jon could not take it as an offense, after all, she did not call him a bastard and did not seem to have the look that the other Lords had towards him, and with his age, it could justify her calling him that due to their age differences.
"Well, we have unique boxes and you might sider them a magical item," Jon spoke calmly looking at the man who looked at him surprised. "Only we uake this venture, as these boxes only be recharged in Artica. After all, without the magic, they would bee useless after a while," Jon said, making Hightower furrow his brow at the word 'magic', while the others raised an eyebrow, as many there found it a bit absurd.
Jon did not hide this; everyone present would soohe boxes and realize that they could not use them as Jon did, therefore he was very fident that he could monopolize the ice. After all, he already ted on many thefts of his own lots trying to copy his business, but it was impossible without having the great Weirwood tree in Artica, since, as he said, the boxes that carry ice only be recharged through its roots.
"Well, anyway," Jon tinued, "Selling ice is our main business currently, but we have other things that I ask you, gentlemen. Are you ied in seeing our products?" Jon asked.
"No, please, we would like to see your entire portfolio," Wils said.
"Alright." Jon said and looked at one of his royal soldiers ith him, ing in with a box, approag in front of the seated group and opening it for everyone.
The box was finally shown to everyone and they sales of various Arti products, among them cigars, other alcoholic beverages, ailes and other items made by the Ice Spiders among other things that Artica has been trading.
The Minister of erce from Artica stepped forward, as he did with Dorne, he began to present the products in pce of Jon.
"A drink beyond wine..." Mace seemed to express i for the first time seeing something that ied him.
"Vodka, whiskey, and even sake from Yi-Ti." Minister Junly began to aheir questions, while the products were seen in the hands of the Lords.
"I've never heard about these drinks... but sake from Yi-Ti? If you allow me, you tell me about these drinks and how you got a product from the other side of Essos?" Lord Redwyne asked.
"Vodka is a cheap drink, good for warming up in the cold, although we believe it will not be popur in this part of Westeros, whiskey, a more premium product, is preserved for 5 years in Artica, we io have stock of 12, 20, and 30 years iure. The lo is stored, the better the taste," Junly ented and turned back to the sake.
"It's not an imported product from Yi-Ti, but we've taken the recipe and are produg it in Artica, it's also a low-cost product, aimed at the on folk, selling it in inns," he cluded.
"I'm curious how you could have such a recipe..." Wils asked, intrigued.
"We got it through some tacts..." The minister spoke openly, but hid the true reason for having it; after all, it was his king who introduced it and Jon got it through greensight, watg various alcoholic beverage manufacturers in those eastern nds.
"You have some secrets, I like that, maybe iure you could even take the gss recipe from Myr... It would be quite useful to buy cheaper gss than to buy from Essos, I believe," Olenna spoke again, not without her usual sarcasm.
'This woman knows we take rge amounts of sand and she imagihat it will be used fss produ, after all, many know that Myr uses sand for their factories despite never disc their recipe.' Jon thought calmly.
"Anyway, try our whiskey with ice," Jon then suggested.
They took the box with ice, showing it to everyoh siderable i, distributing the best 5-year-old whiskey, in a gss apanied with ice.
"It's different..." Garn took a sip a it much strohan traditional wine.
"Really, but it's not bad..." Wils ented as he drank beside him.
Lord Redwyne, Lord Hightower, and Lord Tyrell drank with some pleasure, although the tter almost choked on the first gulp. The two women, meanwhile, drank a gss of wine, preferring a softer drink but with ice, after all, they wao experience what their drink would be like with it.
"My goodness, I must say in all my years, I've never experienced what a Northerner would feel being in the ice, but this ice... It's fantastic!" Olenna couldn't help but excim, feeling the pleasure of drinking a chilled beverage for the first time in her life. "It's really refreshing!" she ented.
"It's very good indeed, grandma," Margaery e her side while turning her gaze back to Jon and the others.
"I'm quite excited to do business with you, Lord Arti," Lord Redwyne ehinking about the profit it would entail.
"Thank you, as long as we stick to the policy of 40% of the final product, we will always have business," Jon spoke, after all, he would not be different from the cost in Dorne, even if the journey was lohere were pns to create a port in the region beyond the Fist of the First Men, in the western region beyond the Wall, this would facilitate the journey between the west coast of the kingdom.
"What is this thing?" Mace asked, looking at the box and pig up a cigar.
"This is a cigar, a product for you to rex and enjoy the taste, something with a high price," Junly presented again in pce of Jon.
"Iing... I heard that in Essos people smoke in some sects," Wils said.
"It's not fious acts, it's something you use like the wine you drink, something to rex," Jon replied, taking a cigar out of his pocket. "It is used in this way." He took it and lit it, before beginning to draw in the smoke and release it, surprising the people beside him.
"This seems harmful..." Garn couldn't help but ent.
"Actually, no, we use natural herbs and even give fvors, you taste strawberry, e, apple among other fvors," Jon said.
"Let me try!" Mace excimed while his wife looked a little worried beside her father, after all, she was a Hightower, daughter of Lord Leyton Hightower himself.
The man looked at the burning cigar and took a puff, only to start coughing like a dragon the moment. "Are you okay!?" Alerie approached, asking worriedly for her husband.
"That Mace, you're embarrassing us, if you don't know how to use a product, don't do it in front of everyone!" Olenna had to grumble.
The man coughed like a ned man, before calming down. "This is good... but I 't stop coughing!" He pined.
The Artis behind had their mouths glued shut to not ugh at the man in such a miserable state. "This is on for the first tries, my men were in the same state," Jon spoke and he didn't fail to look at his men with a severe gaze, so no one would ugh, after all, we're in business and although he wanted respect, he also respected the other party.
"You're not going to end up dying before me, are you, you idiot?" Olenna spoke again in her way, she did not seem to hesitate in front of everyone, even if it embarrassed her son.
"Mother, don't speak like that," he said as he calmed down and gave up on tinuing to smoke the cigar, realizing that he would have to do this aloo avoid embarrassment until he learned. He looked at Jon smoking his cigar and seemed to want to mimic that behavior.
Meanwhile, Lord Redwyne looked at Jon with geerest. "Well, I see that you have many products, but is that type of armor that you wear not for sale?" he asked, curious. After all, the armor of the Arti soldiers was a dream for many, far beyond ordinary metal, perhaps not as much as Valyrian, but certainly beautiful, not to mention designed by dwarf smiths as art or even by Jon, to make the main armors for himself and his wives, which were certainly designed by artists, envied by ahere.
"Well, the armors are not for sale. We are not trading that type of item, keeping them exclusively for ourselves," Jon said despite the disapproval in the older men's gazes.
Meanwhile, Olenna looked at Jon more than anyone else, her eyes fixed on him, eveing people notice. Jon, although a bit surprised by the intense look of the dy, remained calm without letting it shake him.
"I uand, we like the products you've brought us, but do you have something more?" Olenna asked directly to Jon, as there was a box they had not yet touched.
"Yes, we have a few more," Jon said and asked a royal guard t the st box.
"As we want to iate with you, we brought exclusive products especially for you," Jon said as the box ened.
"For people of the Reach, we brought flowers and perfumes." Jon showed flowers that were not found in this region because they were very rare, but also could survive and thrive in this climate.
"That!!" Margaery was immediately ented by what she was seeing. "What is this!?" She approached a special type of blue sunflower.
"This is a Moon Sunflower, found in sions of Sothoryos, you don't o worry about diseases from the pce, as these flowers were bred in Artica many years ago," Jon said, as he had taken all the seeds from that grove he found many years after leaving Winterfell and started cultivating everything in Artica, there was a region in the farm area dedicated to pnts and flowers.
"Sothoryos?! This seems really incredible..." Olenna had a look of fasation, like a Hightower flower, her youth always involved tending to the castle roses in her leisure times.
"Are there perfumes like those of Lady Seryna and Lady Arya?" Alerie approached with an ented look, still remembering how the perfumes of both dies had a pleasant and distinct smell.
"Yes, we produce perfumes with our wide variety of pnts and flowers," Jon said, and both the mother and daughter seemed ented by this, pig up the products and spraying them on their wrists to smell the pleasant st.
"This is certainly very good!" Wils said, seeing the products. He was not as fasated by flowers as his younger sister, preferring horse breeds and even dogs, but it would certainly be very good fhgarden with these acquisitions.
"We will leave the products for you to try all our samples, I know we need some time for you to get familiar with them before we start our business," Jon said, looking at Olenna this time.
The dy cracked a small smile with her mouth closed and nodded. "Very well, let's start our business from tomorrow. repared some rooms for you at the castle," she said, but Jon shook his head.
"I am very honored by the hospitality, but I ot accept, I will stay with my people in the camp that is bei up, if that does not offend you," Jon said, for several reasonable reasons. First, he did not quite like doing this in Sunspear; sed, he did not trust the maesters and did not like how the Lord of the Citadel looked at him; third, he k could bring dissatisfaong the nobles in the camps outside the castle, after all, a fook a pce that in their minds should be theirs, even with the promise of good trade for the kingdom. Jon knew how petty people could be and although he was not afraid of them, he certainly did not want more headaches than he would already have in this p the ing days.
"This is certainly no offense, Lord Arti," Wils said respectfully.
"Let's take a closer look at your products, I would certainly like to have a meeting with you ter," Lord Redwyne spoke, although Olenna did not like how her blood family had bee greedy, proposing a meeting before eveyrells; after all, everyohere was greedy, if someone could make a rge amount of money from this, of course they would a their own.
"I will be at my camp, so if you need anything from me, moreover, it was an honor and I hope for fruitful outes from this first meeting." Jon took the lead and spoke diplomatically while the nobles nodded.
"Wils, could you apany our rading parto the camp?" Olenna asked, after all, she had to give importao Jon and also looked at him with a peculiar gaze, searg for something on Jon's face.
"Yes, Grandma..." He said and asked Jon to follow him, with Jon holding his wife and sister, as they followed behind Lord Tyrell.
Ohe st of the Artis had left the area, only Lord Paxter Redwyne, Lord Leyton Hightower, Olenna, Mace, Alerie, Garn, and Margaery Tyrell remaihey looked at the products in front of them with some i.
"What do you think of uest?" Garn asked Olenna curiously.
"A big surprise," Olenna simply said.
"Surprise? I thought you were already aware of his products," Leyton Hightower said, intrigued.
"It's not that, you idiot," she spoke without g to offend the noble who looked at her frowning, though familiar with her personality. "Other things... other things..." she said mysteriously while no one kly what she was talking about.
"This whiskey is strong, but it's very good!" Mace said, drinking the beverage.
"I must agree with Lord Mace, although the drink Vodka is inteo be a beverage for the on people, the taste is very strong and not pleasant," Lord Redwyne ented.
"The products are very good, so it's a business opportunity," Lord Hightower ented.
"Look at this fabric, Daughter, you would look beautiful in this color! Let's make a dress for you!" Alerie ented, pig up the sky blue fabric made from ice spiders.
"Yes, it's a very good material... Made by ice spiders... I never imagihey actually existed," Olenna ented as her granddaughter examihe soft fabric. "I never said I would see giants... and look at our nds, full of their footprints with their enormous bodies..." She also couldn't help but grumble.
"And the flowers... let's put them in arden immediately," Margaery excimed, pig up some that Jon had brought.
"Ah, many seeds here, this is good for enhang our colle, products from Sothoryos are rare, even more so ohat is of disease," Garn spoke a back to thinking. "This makes me wonder... How they cultivate such things beyond the Wall? It shouldn't be a temperature that any pnt could survive," Garn said.
"This makes Jon Artica all the more mysterious... I must admit that the boy really knows how to behave, he acts as he says he is," Olenna spoke.
"He is a bastard," Hightower ented.
"Yes, born a bastard. But don't fet that he ands creatures that could destroy any of your warriors, Lord Hightower. We must be careful not to offend him, after all, I still want to enrich myself with what he offer," Olenna warned.
"But what about the other nobles?" Garn asked, knowing that Jon and his group would not be very well received.
"Let's put some Tyrell soldiers to keep the situation under trol around his camp, I want you to invite him whenever you , Margaery, I really liked Arya Stark, the girl has really bee a beautiful woman, invite her to talk and brio me, I also want Seryna Artica," Olenna requested immediately, her mind beginning to work ohing she saw and heard.
'This visit is being more iing than I initially thought, you may surprise me even more, Targaryen bastard...' she murmured, imagining that Jon was the result of an illicit retionship initially, after all, he had no idea that there were dots saying otherwise.
