Chapter 106 - Robb and the Free Folk (I)
"One king has already knelt before me, the first of many." - Aenar I Targaryen, God-Emperor of Planetos.
-------------
Under the eyes of all the Night's Watch, Mance Rayder, King Beyond the Wall, knelt and placed a crown of ivory bones at Aenar's feet.
"I, Mance Rayder, abdicate my titles and become your vassal. My sword and shields are yours. I will defend your laws as if they were my own and I will fight by your side, as will my sons and their sons after him."
Mance spoke with a serious voice full of majesty. He was kneeling before Aenar, looking straight into the purple eyes of the boy who had saved his son's life.
"I, King Aenar I Targaryen, First of His Name, Knight of Caraxes, King of the Andals, the Roinars and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm, Father of Dragons, Son of the Light of Volantis, the Promised King, Destroyer of the Greatest Khalasar of His Time."
Aenar pronounced his long list of titles, looking at the man kneeling before him. His voice was regal but gentle at that moment, which made the atmosphere less tense and more grandiose.
"I accept your oath. Rise, Mance, Lord of House Rayder, Lord of Sea Dragon Point and Stony Shore."
Aenar finished, declaring Mance Rayder's titles in front of everyone.
As for what his uncle would think about him granting Mance these fiefs, Aenar didn't really care. Westeros belonged to House Targaryen; all the lands on that continent were theirs. In the future, the nobles would only have the right to administer the fiefs on his behalf.
They could only own the castles and the surrounding lands. Other than that, everything belonged to him and House Targaryen.
