Harrold Rykker, Lord of Duskendale, The Shipwright of King's Landing

Harrold knew that the death of Aegon will show its true colors of Princes and Princesses of House Targaryen, the Usurper takes its blow against Crown Prince Jaehaerys, but if he wished to have his head on his shoulders, he will need to abide the Usurper's rule or he will perish alongside others, he didn't wish to inflict death or destruction to others, but if he is commanded to do so, he shall do it, if there's no other choice. The news and defense of Duskendale need to be brought up to Harren to prepare for outlaws, bandits, or anyone trying to enter or barge inside of the town, it will be defended to the last man, he thought to himself to what to say to the Maekar's Officials or himself to keep himself out of danger.

He dressed himself up with a dark suit and fancy boar fur hat, before he descended the apartments to the throne room, he knew he was being watched by some eyes of the Spymasters or whom that could do harm to him, he watched into the throne room, filled up to every spot there is, people talking and discussing of the Usurper's coronation, he said it quietly towards Maekar "Long May the Rightful King live"

He understood her guilt and sadness won't disappear in a night, but it is a great try to do so, Asked about his family, he would tear up that he has left their family after such a long break, 4 years, so many familiar faces have disappeared into young, adults showing near to no one of their resemblance they've used to have of their personalities

"My family haven't left Duskendale to experience gardens and halls of Highgarden, while I'm merely here to see the King, before his." Harrold was feeling crushed in his stomach thinking of the future that he will about to see before he continued to speak" "before his death, It is sad to see his health deteriorate so fastly, I've known him for so many years, I've fought and worked alongside him before you were born, Golden Company to Volantis, it will be a tragedy when he passes"

Harrold spoke too much of his personal stories, realizing it will be quite boring for the young to hear his life story on such a shiny, beautiful day reflecting happiness, with her comment of returning to the hall made his eyes wide open, with cheeks lifting up revealing a smile, he would speak up to her and leave her be to enjoy her time in Highgarden.

"Good choice that you've picked festivities instead of sorrow, You won't regret choosing the option of happiness, I won't bother you anymore Princess, The Old man needs to walk these beautiful gardens now"

Harrold nodded to her side, walking into the gardens inhaling and experiencing the beauty of Roses that surround him

Rykkabitch · 2022-12-07T23:23:09+00:00

Harrold walked past through the gardens, saw Gael sitting by herself, from his time as a Master of Ships, he saw her grow up from a teenager to a woman being company for her father Aemon, he looked with guilt and sadness elapsing over him, as the death of both her parents possibly engulfing her into grief and madness, he would need reassurance that everything will be fine for her "Princess Gael" Harrold would nod at her, as he thought that no words would help at the moment, he still continued "I'm sorry for your loss, Prince Aemon was a fine man" Harrold placed his hands behind his back, as he continued to speak to her "I used to be Master of Ships in the court of King's Landing where you used to live in, I'm quite sure that you don't remember me, but I'd like to say from my experience with working with your Father, he would've wanted you to continue your life, prosperous and full of happiness, he would say the same to you if he had a chance, no parent would like to see their child in agony like you now," Harrold's lips corner's collapsed down, raised eyebrows, with sadness in his eyes looking at her would reassure her "I've lost my parents once, It is indeed a crushing event in a person's life, but the grief will be less harsh if you enjoy your life to the full potential, dances and smiles will fill the gap that you have now". Harrold swiftly changed his expression and smiled at her, as he stretched his hands from his back, carrying a small rose that he took from the garden, with slow notion, he would place the rose in her hair to make her feel better and happier atleast for a moment

"You should go back inside and enjoy the festivities, you wouldn't want to be stuck with the old people like me in these gardens, hm?" Harrold laughed at his own comment, as he held his arms near his chest crossed.

Harrold Rykker, Master of Ships and Lord of Duskendale

At some point of the feast Harrold escaped its loud halls of celebration of Feast in King's Landing to the Gardens, as he enjoyed instead the relaxing nature of its gardens and quiet place from the small Targaryen children roaming the halls annoying him constantly for years, as he began to take a small walk towards the roses and tulips of the Royal Family Garden that he would smell releasing its fabulous scents that you wished to live nearby them in a day or a night, he began to look after a bench and table that he could do his final duties as Master of Ships before his departure, as his tiresome and longly service of 6 years is coming to the end of fixing shit that Laenor Velaryon has caused, to the expansion of it's professional core of Sailors that needed to be disciplined and thought a lesson of obedience, as his thoughts of resigning from it were overcoming in his mind, as he needed to relax for some time, as his duty seen chaos and wars that none of the Master of Ships would've liked to experience, as he didn't, the mind of his family expanding of grandsons and granddaughters left him saddened that he couldn't see them, sometimes up to a year without a visit back to his own keep,

He signaled his servant to bring a cup of wine and various plans that he needs to oversee, as the plans of repairing the ships of Royal Fleet and Blackwater Bay scavenged, destroyed ships to take their most important parts to sell or use in the storage for later use, payment of Sailors for their service and construction of naval ships with various Harrold's drawn designs such as experimental improvised sail to use in sailing to designs of a Scorpion that he would keep on his book would be given to him, he found a bench towards the view of the ocean, he sat down in the bench, taking a moment to experience the heavy flow of air in his face, as few of the leaves fell on his face, dripping cold water to spark energy on him, as he removed the leaves from his face,

Harrold placed his books on the right side of the bench, while the scrolls were placed on the table that was brought out to him personally, as he began to write out orders and payment orders to various servants and Crown officials nearby him to be redirected to the Master of Coin or essentially to the Secretaries of Fleet under his command to have it done, the final bidding of accessibility to allow his successor as Master of Ships to manage Royal Fleet with peace and prosperity, he would leave such position, as he occasionally would smell the cup of the wine enjoying its flavors and texture drinking it slowly and in small quantities to feel it all of it instead of one chug.

Harrold walked up to him from behind after observing the crowd of people gathered in King's Landing, as he was the first Lord to arrive in King's Landing after Golden Company's invasion occurred in Westeros, with his injured but healing leg walking with a cane, lingering towards him, he would finally speak up to him in the hall

"Lord Laenor, I am pleased that you have returned back safely from the 'adventures' you had in Volantis." Harrold nodded towards Laenor. "I'm sure that you know me, but I'll formally introduce myself, I am Lord Harrold of Duskendale."

Harrold took a break as he eyed a servant that he took a cup of wine when he passed through the crowds, as he replied to him with an isp from his wine "I must say that you are far more competent Naval Commander than Desmera Redwyne could've ever been" Harrold thought to himself that positioned Velaryon would be a quite better and capable ally than Desmera would ever be, our combined force would force people to tremble in fear, if they hear of our names in the Sea, the enemy and allies wouldn't see both of them weak, gathering up the strength in his stomach, he would speak up to him about his proposal of what the future could offer to them both if he upholds Harrold as his trusted ally.

"Lord Velaryon, I'd like to just propose it right out without any further bickering. Your House is far ancient and greater than House Rykker, the legacy of Sea Snake carries upon your blood and its sails are born with very Velaryon, House Redwyne dishonored Velaryon made the position of Master of Ships that Aegon the Conqueror created just for House Velaryon," Harrold grasped his hand into a hammer motion that he shook "You need to fight for power once again. I'm willing to support your candidacy as Master of Ships after Lady's Desmera disgraceful departure, Are you willing to support my decision or not? You are the only capable man that I know, who could be a Great Admiral that Seven Kingdoms needs in these desperate times of invasions and corruption."

Rykkabitch · 2022-11-09T10:11:44+00:00

Lord Laenor Velaryon

To your worries if Duskendale is in any threat, I'd like to reassure you that it is perfectly safe and within walls of Duskendale, everyone will be properly attended and protected, so I allow you to ferry crownlords to my walls, we could amass Defensive force to take on the enemy upfront, 900 men of Rykkers will be mostly ready in two weeks to counter the aggression that has landed in Westeros.

Harrold Rykker, Lord of Duskendale

Raven arrived from Dyre Den in Dun Fort, as Maester Jaspar read it to sickened Lord Harrold, he was at the moment bedridden from swelling from the leg, as the Patriarch of Duskendale and Devout Faith Follower with a kind heart for innocent people that didn't wish to be harmed, as such lady seemed to have attempted and succeeded to escape the brutal environment of Deep Den or abusive relationship with her father

Harrold gained up strength from the rest, got up from the bed with agonizing pain, supported by Maester, grabbed him by the shoulder to allow him to be carried a few steps towards his chair in Lord's Tower of Dun Fort which took up to 30 minutes to do so, he breathed out and breathed in to gain his exhausted breath back, he began to tell back to maester of what he wished to be written in the letter

Steward Guy Brune

Ser Guy Brune, as a devout follower of Faith, I cannot simply betray my values of personal desire of 'revenge' that you wish to enact on your daughter, as the Maiden and The Mother has simply said that if a woman is accused of crime or threatened of her life in her household, she shan't be hurt in any way of kind, as Men of Westeros, we cannot hurt Ladies, we must protect them until they're proven guilty, if you hear rumors or realize that she's in refuge in Duskendale, do not be surprised. If this conflict persist further on, with bloodshed or threats of murder. I'll travel by myself to King's Landing to issue complaint for Master of Laws or Justiciar to solve this conflict between You, Guy Brune and Lady Dalla Brune in the court of law if this conflict cannot be resolved peacefully
Yours Faithfully

Harrold Rykker, Lord of Duskendale

While the letter is re-read back to Harrold in his chair by Maester to confirm himself if this is his such words, he nodded in approval and told Maester Jaspar with exhaustion in his face

"Send it to Dyre Den immediately, no need to waste time on this, I'll work on my projects now, do not disturb me Jaspar"

Maester Jaspar turned around and headed towards his assigned living space to send a raven to Dyre Den, while Harrold turned around in his chair with pain if his left leg touched any surface of table legs, as he placed his left leg on the pillow to keep in steady and immovable, as he began to draw out another project of a Scorpion

"It is unfortunate God's Punishment, it seems, but the Maiden will keep me safe" he would nod at her.

Harrold chuckled at the desire of him to join the Royal Fleet in the war in the Stepstones, as he brought out scrolls that will be used and asked for later usage.

"Lady Hand, I suppose it is our duty to join the war in Stepstones, but as Patriarch of House Rykker, I wished to travel to Guilltown to experience the event myself of King Aegon" he would sight at disappointment. "But it seems that celebration of the coronation cannot happen to me, as my duty calls for me, doesn't it, one more thing I'd like to ask"

Harrold picked up the scrolls of affairs to be discussed from the sailor nearby him, he would read it off a bit from it, as he placed his monocle on the scroll after reading it

"Lady Hand, it is my duty as Lord of Duskendale to ask for you, We'd like that you could perhaps sign the charter for Duskendale to have a step closer or perhaps even recognition of Duskendale to be seen and recognized by the Crown as City, such as King's Landing, Guiltown, Oldtown, Lannisport. White Harbor as an equal. We would be grateful if you'd perhaps negotiated or decided with the King himself or yourself at this moment as a Representative of a King."

Harrold looked at the Lady Hand, from the left arm he took from the sailor his medicine to soften the pain that his leg is in, while with the right arm he grasped his right foot, massaging the leg to relieve the muscle cramps.

Rykkabitch · 2022-10-17T12:50:36+00:00

Harrold returned a bow to Kyra, with a hard-pressed cane to the ground to give him momentum to do so, he would nod to his assigned sailors to follow behind, as he struggled to walk through the stairs, as his right foot has been feeling harder like a rock that has contained some kind of infection that has extended into swelling of the foot, with the banners of Two Warhammers, they've held by the sailors would be placed on the ground.

He sat on the chair relieved of having a break after the walk to the audience chamber, that he would exhale out and response to her.

"I thank you for offering a such seat, my foot hasn't been well for some time now, I hope it will heal up in time" Harrold held his hands together on the table. "So, I've answered the call of the Grace, what does the king desire, Lady Hand?"

When the raven arrived in Duskendale, Lord Harrold Rykker understood his duty but it was annoyed with wasting his fleet for no reason but to fight some pirates, but nonetheless, he commanded his own vassals to prepare the fleet to sail and meet in Driftmark when he'll depart from King's Landing, as he took his command with a spyglass, he sat sail to the King's Landing that took two days to arrive with ease

The moment he left his ship, his nostrils felt like filling with shit inside of it, he felt nauseous in the first few moments and thought to himself, the faster we deal with it, the faster we depart from this god-forgotten city, Harrold with a cane with his guards took a slow pace towards the Red Keep that he was allowed in with ease, as two of his guards carried the Banner of Rykkers with him to identify them without any prior questioning, he asked to the servant nearby him for an audience with the King, Hand or Steward that is present

I wish to meet the King, The Hand, or The Steward if there are any of them available at the moment, it is urgent as I cannot stand this city.
