Thrid Person POV
Westeros, 296 AC.
---------------------------------------
It was still early m, while Jon was already in an importaing in the senate, having been discussing with all his ministers for a few hours about his pns for Artica.
"So we have no activities from our eo the north..." Jon ented, looking at the pile of reports.
"The dead haven't made any major moves other than bringing a few hundred men to kill tribes and add them to their army," Du, his armor as the ander of Artica's army, said with a firm tone.
"Alright... but we have a rge group of Free Folk gathering..." Jon spoke while looking at other reports.
"Yes, my king. Our scouts left the wall a few fights ago to iigate the situation and found Mance's camp, the man who all outside the walls of Artica cim to be the king beyond the walls..." Brynden said.
"What nonsehor scoffed.
"Anyway, we'll deal with them if they try to harm us," Jon decred as the others nodded.
Mance seemed to be gathering a group of more than 100,000 warriors, but Jon did not see him as a threat when his army was full of equipment and resources, believing that the Artis could destroy any army in the world.
"Even so... I don't want anyone in Artica to be harmed by a group, so I want them watched and their movements monitored," Jon advised while the ministers nodded in agreement.
Jon turned back to Thor, who stood looking at him with a serious tone. "How are we doing with the sand we brought from the tour?" Jon asked.
"We're w with it in the furnaces and starting to manufacture gss, as you requested," Thor replied. Jon nodded, listening.
"I want a new batch of gss for my personal stock, how are the ructures I requested, I saw that they are ready externally," Jon said, and the dwarf nodded.
"The king's greenhouse and the king's furnace are ready for use, we mao build them in half a year, they are just as you id out in the project," he said.
"That's great, I'll be looking at it as soon as I leave here," Jon spoke with a satisfied tone.
"How is the sacred grove?" Jon asked Seraphine, Minister of Magid Are Affairs as Wargs.
"We are doing very well, spending most of the day pying in the sacred groves and taking care of our children," she spoke with a satisfied tone, "We also help here and there, always teag about ods to children who e every day to hear about them in the sacred grove and we receive many people too." Jon o that.
His gaze fell straight on the Minister of Justid Law, Kiera. "How are activities iy, is the project fuard w perfectly?" Jon asked.
Kiera nodded. "We have 3,000 men ing out of army training, patrolling the city and we are exeg acc to our code of ws," Jon heard this and nodded.
"How is the crime rate?" Jon asked her.
"We've had some problems with fights, murders, and rape with some new members who joined in these st moons," Kiera said.
Johat even Artica could not avoid some cases of infiltration, after all, they are people, fights happen, especially with dwarves, but Jon would ake lightly any crime involving taking someone's life and rape, especially for the people who are stantly entering the walls, after all, they still believe they are living as iribes.
"We are going to impose severe punishments, our people need nothing that leads them to such as, for rapes, we will castrate them and put them to forced bor or expel them from Artica, for murders, there is no choice but the death penalty," Jon warned while the others nodded with his reasoning.
"We have a few hundred prisoners of war caught in Reach, a high-ranking noble and a spy from Dorne, disguised as a bard, put all of them to work in the mines and gravel today," Jon said, he still gave some not so bad ditions, they would have a house outside the city, a bed, and food, with Arti guards watg them to ehey don't do any foolishness.
"It will be done, My king," Kiera responded.
Jon looked at Gavron this time, the Minister of Finand Treasury. "How are we doing in gold s?" He asked as the man broke into a smug smile.
"We are doing very well, our miners really know how to quickly extract the gold with the tunnels created by the dwarves... we have more than 20 million gold s, my king," he said as Jon nodded, doubting that any other house ieros would have more money, but this was just somethiracted from their nds, soon, they would be doing a lot of trade, since Essos was still their ercial point.
"And you, my minister? How are things?" Jon asked the giant, Haran, Minister of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
"Stocks full to trade it for your rip, Arti King," he said with his characteristie for his size as Jon nodded.
"Now that we are here, we should talk a little about the south of the wall..." Jon began to speak as all the men there paid full attention to him. Even those who had not yet spoken were waiting to see the final decisions with Westeros.
"As I said, sand, horses, iron, steel, books, and teachers were essential resources that we this time a them with this trip, but in the end, we entered a battle against Westeros and they bled for it, I don't think they will do nothing about it, but I believe that after seeing us destroy nearly 400 of their ships, they uood that we are not an easy foress with, and they feared us for it, I even believe they sought peace after a failed retaliation attempt, after all, no army from the south will survive in the north," Jon said.
"Why squander resources in this way then, these men from the south of the wall think??" Gavron asked, bewildered.
"Because they are too proud..." Du responded, knowing the people of the north, but also knowing that to the south of the Neck, they are even worse.
"All of Westeros is waiting for a response from the king, if he does not un attack, they will see that the king's position is weakened," Jon replied with a firm tohout smiling. "But it was the hateful ones who sought this, ever since we arrived ieros we have been thrown into schemes, that's why..." He finally would give the verdict he had already decided.
"We will no lorade with the Reach, sihey celed all our supply of horses and animals," Jon said, after all, he had seen the meetings of the nobles, which was not a great surprise after everything that happened.
"After we spent the other of our coffers with them, my king?" Junly, the Minister of erce, excimed with some dissatisfa and aowards those southerners.
"There is nothing to be done, I already khis would happen as soon as we decided to give them an answer in Oldtown, but that doesn't mean we won't charge them iure," Jon said with a somber tone as the others nodded, if their king would campaign south in search of justice for trade, he would certainly succeed and take everything that belongs to him.
"However..." Jon began to speak again. "I want Darius to go back to Dorne, I warned Prince Doran, we will send Artis, and if they were harmed, we will attack Dorne as our enemy," Jon said. As Minister of Fn Affairs, Darius nodded.
"I want you to leave with us from Artid ght to Dorne, while we are visiting the cities on the west coast of Essos," Jon said and the minister nodded.
They tialking more about their pns, Westeros was no longer a trading partner for Jon, while he even po create trade with the west, the Vale of Arryn, and the north itself, but after the battle, things would not be so easily resolved. Dorne would still be his trading partner as long as they tio fulfill Jon's orders.
"Now that we are doh the trade agenda, let's go to what is me most after I returned home..." Jon turned his gaze to other st ministers, Aemon and Brynden, who were responsible for the academy, citizenship, and information north of the wall.
"Are our educators from Dorne adaptio the city?" Jon asked while Aemon nodded, being responsible for the aodations of everyone.
"Everyone arrived ented with the city, my king," Aemon opened a happy smile as he tinued. "And they are no less excited about their current life, they are living in lots built he uy and library and started teag 2 moons ago teag children and all are progressing very well, yoal of creating an educated nation is really funal my king, but we still have some problems... some teachers do not have our quality of teag or the one you seek for the kingdom," he said and Jon nodded.
"Put them with the csses of teachers I've trained over the st few years, have them achieve excellend reward them too. I want you and Seraphio meet Archmaester Marwyn; he might be useful for the city and pce him in the best position you deem," Jon said and turned back to Brynden.
"Now we have hundreds of thousands of books. I want you to transcribe ws that we make Artica use the library effitly now that we have books and pass it to the senate for approval so that Kiera execute it," Jon spoke as the structure of Artica funed.
Ministers and even representatives of the senate, who were chosen by the popution to occupy each of the limited seats, wrote ws, they were pced on agendas while being approved or not, Jon had sn power over all this, being able to choose to interfere or not, but he preferred to leave it as is, for the king of Artiot to have so much power, preventing a tyrant from appearing iure, Jon was als on other things, but would only reveal them after his first children were born.
Brynden nodded. "That will be done. Will you begin your pn about the Judiciaries, my king?" He suddenly asked as Jon shook his head.
"Not yet... first, I want to do a few things, then we will implement that, but I want a batch of petent judges that will take a few years to emerge, so I o work on a few more points about Arti ethics," Jon was developing something important, which would be used to create domes where there would be trials with qualified judges to resolve crimes in Artica more fairly and not needing Kiera to judge everything personally, the popution might be above 100,000 people, but it will pass a million in a few decades, so a more solid structure is needed for the city to fun.
They tinued discussing tless subjects, men, giant, dwarf, and a child of the forest tialking about Artica, this dome formed of a king and 10 ministers, was something simir to what Jon saw in King's Landing, but with a strong difference, here they seriously talked about the future of the kingdom, there was no personal i, no exge of favors or pride, anger, or envy, everyone just had the goal of making Artica be what it was born to be.
After that, Jon was alone as he dismissed everyone, uhe king of Westeros, he worked entirely for the growth of Artid to keep it prosperous.
He picked up an iing paper where Brynden had put the popution of Artica.

---------------------------------
There was a note saying about the growth of all the data from all the numbers since Jo, feeling satisfied with the growth of the kingdom, dwarves had not grown beyond the more than 7 thousand dwarf women giving birth to 3 thousand new babies, after all, there were no dwarves outside of Artica to joihe same could be said of the children of the forest, who only reproduced, there were no more beyond the wall to join, but their growth was much greater in some years tha thousands of years, stopping the race from beiind giving hope to them.
But for the others, like the humans who are easily found in the north, there was an increase of 10,000, although there were some issues that his Minister of Justid Law had to deal with, the majority of the Free Folk entered Artica with good iions and Jon could not fail to save them, as this was the will of his gods.
The giants had an increase of 200, which might not seem like much, but sidering that the race is also nearly extinct, it was good to find 200 new ones ing to Arti their own, they were also beginning to increase their popution with marriages starting to occur.
There were other data like the literacy rate of the popution, iron, and military equipment, but Jon did not hat now, however, the addition of 400 more ships was something very good, after all, Jon saw the number of ships now in the harbor when he arrived, with the dwarves w severely to increase the fleet at the naval stru bases on the al side, Jon would still have a fleet of thousands of ships with his unlimited capacity to create trees more powerful than Ironwood.
Setting that aside, he decided to go out, after all, he had tahe batches of irht for the creation of ons in Eldeal in the fe district. He headed out while taking Ghost with some royal guards ahat side of the forest heading to his destination.
The first thing he had admitted since he saw it yesterday atohe king's greenhouse and the king's furwo huge structures just for Jon to work in, these were his own personal workshops, where he would put his projects into practid stru. One had a rge gss ball on the roof to let in sunlight, over 50 meters high and 200 meters wide and long, where he would work on pnts and alchemy.
The other, 50x300x300, being rger due to the high temperatures not far from the king's greenhouse, it would house a dragon by the entrance made to the side, since Jon desig for the creation of Valyrian steel, and he needed Eragon for this, he would try it with him for the first time to see if he would succeed during his current stay.
Jon did not go to these pow, expeg to do so in the ing weeks, while his time ent anizing the resources that came from the south, being tons and tons of iron and steel to start the produ of new armors and Arti metal.
He returo his castle and greeted his wives affeately as they rested, but Jon did not stay long for his furna the castle w through the rest of the night while also taking his Valyriahat he had picked up in Oldtown and started to melt it to produe iing things.
He finally took a bath ao bed, while the day, he was reading some things in his chair when Arya entered, with Jon breaking into a smile as soon as she emerged from the doors.
"Arya, I was looking for you..." Jon said.
"Jon!? I was going to the arena, but Seryna told me you o talk to me," she said with a curious look.
"Don't talk so loud, I'm trying to sleep!" a voice came from the bed, while Ygritte was uhe covers.
"You seem surprised I called you here... after all, you're turning 12 years old today," Jon said, maintaining a smile.
"You remembered..." she said, being a bit shy.
"How could I not remember? I do this every year," Jon said teasingly. "e, I want to give you something precious," Jon said, starting to rise and moving to the side of the bed where Ygritte was the only oill lying down.
Arya followed Jon curiously as she saw him take out a box, opening it to reveal two swords in a rge format. "This is..." Her eyes sparkled at the sight of the swords. "Valyrian steel," she murmured.
"Yes... I must say it was easier to manipute than I imagined, so I created two new swords for myself, repg my old ones. You see the design... bdes like these are produced in Yi-Ti, with soldiers called Samurai wielding them," Jon said, toug the two swords, before closing the box.
"Wait... you said yoing to repce yours?!" she excimed, stunned. "And Darksister?!" she asked.
"Well... here... this is yift," Jon pulled out a sed box and pced it in front of Arya as the girl was floored, w what could be inside, if it really was what she imagihen, with her small trembling feminine hands, she unlocked the locks and began to open it with Jon watg everything with a smile.
In the closed box, there was another regur box with gss on the front. It was the tainer for a sword, Darksister, the sword of one of the heroines Arya most respected, Visenya Targaryen, was inside.
"Jon, I'm not dreaming, am I??" she said, trembling and stuttering.
"It's your sword now, Arya. Look at the sword, I've engraved some names with magi it. They 't be removed uhe whole sword is melted, and one of them is yours to indicate that it belongs to you until you pass it on or until your death," Jon said, and she widened her eyes as she read.
"VISENYA TARGARYEN, DAEMON TARGARYEN, BRYNDEN RIVERS, JON áRTICA, and my name, ARYA STARK..." She murmured in disbelief, as she looked at eaame engraved on the sword, having received the greatest gift she could have asked for from anyone.
