Chapter 86: Expanding
Alexander stood on a small platform, behind him was the huge Steel Engine. In front of him was a mic. An invention that was still to be introduced. As he'd also need to introduce electricity first or else they will name the technology demonic or god's gift.
"Thank you for coming here everyone, all of you are here to witness the history in making. A machine that will change everything. From this day on, our lives will not be the same. We will be able to travel from the Moat city to The Wintercity in just 3 to 4 hours. We will be able to travel from Wintercity to Norgold in just 5 hours. We will not be limited by the time anymore. All because of my new creation, Train(there was a long whistle from the train as he said that).
I think most of you know how it works as I have been advertising in the newspaper. There will be two kinds of trains. One, which will carry us. Two, which will carry big transport. Imagine being able to transport hundreds of carts worth of food, grains, clothes, metal, and other things in one go. And even that at a speed never seen before. And now, I invite you all to travel with me, from her to Wintercity, to join the Moon festival. Those who can't get on the train shouldn't worry as I have arranged many more trains for today. Enjoy," he finished up and boarded the train.
Mainly the lords boarded first. Then some smallfolks. Alexander went ahead and sat with Robert, Jon, and Oleena. They had specially come to see the train. Tywin also came but he was sitting in another cabin with his family. Cersei was also with him. Surprisingly, Tyrion was also there. Now the boy has probably turned 15 or 16 probably. His unfortunate wife, Tysa had given birth to a healthy baby some months ago. She had named him Alyrion. A mixture of his and Tyrion's name.
...
In the Lannister cabin.
Cersei sat with her father, children, and the despicable dwarf.
The train was moving at a high speed, she looked at the changing scenery outside. Crossing many small rivers along the way. The best thing was that she couldn't even feel that the carriage was moving. It was so much better than traveling in those uncomfortable horse carriages. Here, she could comfortably sit, drink, or eat while looking at the beautiful scenery. She could even sleep if she wanted.
"Such a marvelous way to travel. And fast too. I should tell Lord Stark to make one of these from King's Landing to Casterly Rock. Then I'll be able to comfortably travel." Cersei said, being her usual egoistical.
