Wizard Lord of Westeros-Chapter 102: Titanic

Dreadfort Castle

POV of Domeric Bolton

"Jory," Domeric called out to the man who moved forward to meet him.

"Be a good man and tell Lady Catelyn Stark that I've granted Lady Sansa's wish and will be taking her to the shipyard to show her the 'Titanic'. Also, tell her that we'll return to Dreadfort in the evening so she can spend the night in Dreadfort. She can leave for Winterfell tomorrow in the morning after saying goodbye to her daughter."

"My lord..."

"Yes. Lady Catelyn had given her permission for this trip. Go now." He told the man who bowed and left to give the message to Lady Catelyn Stark.

Then he turned to Sansa once again and smiled "Let's get a horse carriage for you, my lady."

By this point in time, he had spent hundreds of thousands of gold dragons on the construction of roads all in his domain.

What people didn't know was that he had also spent a good amount of gold coins on the construction of very advanced Horse Carriages that had rubber covering and suspension springs on their wheels along with a large interior that made travel inside those carriages as comfortable as it could be in this medieval era.

But despite such luxuries, he refrained from traveling inside the horse carriages and preferred to travel on horseback as riding on a horse gave him more of a manly feeling than riding inside a carriage.

Plus, riding on horseback for long hours could be considered an exercise for his thighs and back anyway.

So, as he and Sansa left Dreadfort with a guard detail of 100 horse riders led by Ser Walton, one of his most trusted men, he rode in the middle of the formation on his horse beside Sansa who was sitting inside the horse carriage and was looking at the scenery with a curious expression, asking him questions about various things on various topics every now and then, with Varko riding a few meters behind him to not intrude on their private conversation.

Regardless of how beautiful the scenery was or how luxurious the carriage was, both he and Sansa eventually got bored and spent the next few hours of their journey in small talk about different things until they finally reached their destination.

They had reached the shipyard where all the ships in his fleet were built. Except for the few ships that he bought from Braavos or took from the defeated pirates.

And at the center of the shipyard stood the ship factory in all its glory. The largest building in Westeros that was not a castle.

The building was 100 feet tall, 200 feet wide and 2500 feet long. It had enough space inside it to hold 7 football fields and still have some area left.

It was designed in such a way that the wood, steel, and cloth along with all resources required to build would go inside from the other end where the workers would start working on it in sections and move it forward once their work was done.

So, the wood, steel, ropes, and clothes would go from one end and a fully completed ship would come out of the other end.

A design that he had copied from the Braavosi with good effort. And the result was very satisfying.

"Let's go inside Lady Sansa." He said as he helped her out of the carriage and led her to a building opposite the ship factory.

Sansa gave him a questioning look and he smiled. "The Titanic has already been completed." He told her while pointing at a brand-new building that he had built for the simple purpose of holding his flagship. "It is in that building. Getting some finishing touches."

As they reached the large building, the workers quickly ran and opened the gate of the building for him.

He nodded and entered the building, hearing Sansa as well as the guards behind her gasp at the sight of the ship in front of them.

Because, while his Titanic might not be much in comparison to the real Titanic from his past life but it was still by far the largest ship ever built in the known history of Westeros.

It was truly a monster of ships. A tetrareme galley with four levels of rows on each side. Each row had 150 seats. Which led to a total of 1200 rowers and could hold 300 more men on the deck with four ballistas and a steel ram at the front.

The most important thing about Titanic was that the ship was made entirely of Ironwood.

In fact, it was also the only ship in Westeros that was built entirely of Ironwood. Mostly because of how expensive Ironwood really was.

Buying the wood for the ship alone cost him 160,000 gold dragons.

Even since the ship was completed a month ago, he had been coming here in secret and had been carving magical runes on its entire surface.

It would still take a month or more before the runic arrays he had carved at the side and the runic matrix at the bottom would be completed. He had planted 10 small bonsai weirwood trees in the Captain's room to power the runes.

Once the runes are completed, the ship would sail two times faster than the fastest ship in Domeric's fleet and turn just as quickly as any small war galley, allowing it to quickly maneuver the waters and act like a beast in a battle. Not to mention give it an additional defense from blunt damage and elemental damage from lightening or fire.

The largest ship in Westeros before the Titanic was built was the Arbor Queen owned by the Redwynes which could hold about 600 men at a time. Titanic on the other hand could hold about 1500 men at full capacity. There was really no comparison at all.

"Do you want to go and check it from the inside my lady?" he asked, feeling a little pride at the slack-jawed expression on her face and the shocked and fearful expression on the face of the Stark guards.

Sansa gave him a nod while looking a little dazed and he smiled.

He spent the next two hours showing her the interior of the Titanic before they had to return to Dreadfort so that they wouldn't be late for dinner.

The next day, Aunt Barbrey left for Bolton Port while he led the escort of Lady Catelyn and Sansa back to Winterfell where he could explain the 'circumstances' to Lord Stark.
