Chapter 224: Scott’s Return

Jacob appeared in Serendell’s private living room, a satisfied smile still lingering on his face. The promise of Daenerys’s answer tomorrow left him in a good mood.

His wives were all gathered there—Allison lounging on the couch with her eyes closed, Lydia curled up with a book, Melissa sipping tea while reviewing documents, Malia watching an animal documentary on the massive screen, and Sansa seated gracefully on a cushioned chair, scrolling through her phone. Kitty was curled in Malia’s lap, equally absorbed in her own phone.

He moved through the room, kissing each of his wives in turn. Then he rubbed Kitty’s head affectionately, earning a pleased purr, and settled into his favorite recliner with a contented sigh.

Allison raised an eyebrow. “You look happy. What happened?”

Jacob’s smile widened. “I helped Olenna Tyrell save her children, and she pledged her allegiance to me.”

Sansa’s eyes went wide. “You’re serious? We spent a month just convincing a handful of lords to join us, and you went to play in King’s Landing and ended up conquering the Reach?”

Jacob shrugged with mock modesty. “Yeah. It was almost too easy. Honestly, I owe that crazy bitch Cersei a thank you—she did half the work by throwing Olenna’s grandchildren in prison.”

Lydia’s eyes narrowed suspiciously. “That’s not why you’re happy, though. I can feel it.”

Allison leaned forward, her gaze piercing. “Yeah. Did you agree to marry her granddaughter?”

Jacob shook his head. “No. Although Olenna asked me to marry Margaery, I refused.”

Malia, who hadn’t looked away from the documentary about lions, spoke with a knowing smirk. “But there’s a woman’s scent all over you.”

Allison and Lydia both fixed him with pointed glares.

Jacob coughed awkwardly, running a hand through his hair. “Don’t look at me like that. The scent belongs to Daenerys, and I already told you about her.”

Lydia sighed, setting down her book. “There’s no need to ask if you’re going to marry her, because we all know you will. But when are you going to introduce her to us?”

Jacob said, “Not yet. I asked her to marry me, but she hasn’t given me an answer yet.”

Sansa frowned. “And who does she think she is to keep you waiting for her answer?”

Jacob said, “Well, she’s a queen, and her life goal has been to win the Iron Throne. She needs to think before she agrees to marry me, because that will mean giving up her ambition.” He paused, a confident smile returning. “Anyway, I’m pretty sure she’ll agree tomorrow.” He shifted the conversation. “Now, tell me what you girls did today.”

Allison and Sansa shared a look, then launched into their account of the day. They had visited House Reed of Greywater Watch, and Howland Reed had agreed to join their kingdom. Sansa would bring him to the Wall when the other lords arrived to meet Jacob.

Melissa spoke next, her voice warm with satisfaction. “I spent the day healing the Free Folk, and I helped a giant woman give birth today—it was quite an experience.”

They continued talking, the warmth of family filling the room. Eventually, they moved to the dining room for dinner with the rest of the family—Chris, Victoria, Stiles, Erica, Shireen, Arya, Noah, and Natalie.

After dinner, Jacob and his wives teleported to Beacon Hills with Kitty, Arya, and Shireen. From there, Jacob teleported them all to San Francisco.

The sun was still out, nearing sunset, painting the sky in shades of orange and gold. They strolled through the city, shopping and enjoying the evening. Jacob took them to a movie theater, where they watched The Hunger Games.

As they returned to Serendell, Allison whispered in Jacob’s ear, her breath warm against his skin. “Give me thirty minutes, then come to my room.”

She teleported away before he could respond. ⅇ

Jacob decided to visit Saphira, spending a peaceful thirty minutes with her before teleporting to Allison’s door and knocking.

“Come in,” Allison’s voice called.

He stepped inside and found Allison dressed as Harley Quinn. Her hair was pulled into two high, messy pigtails—bright pink on the right, blue on the left. Her makeup matched perfectly: blue shadow with a teardrop under her right eye, pink shadow with a teardrop under her left, and a small black heart on her left cheek. Her lips were painted a striking red. She wore a tight, split-colored bodysuit—black on one side, red on the other—with subtle diamond patterns on the sleeves. A white jester collar with small pom-poms completed the look.

She smiled, her tone teasing. “How do I look, Mr. J?”

Jacob closed the door behind him and crossed the room in three quick strides. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close. “You look gorgeous.”

He kissed her deeply, and she melted into him.

When they finally broke apart, Allison said, “Let’s have some fun—and you don’t have to act like the Joker. You tend to go out of control, and I don’t like that.”

Jacob’s smiled. “Deal.”

With that, the two of them shared a wild, passionate, and unforgettable night together.

?????????????????????

—

Jacob woke the next morning to find Allison still deeply asleep beside him, her hair a wild tangle of pink and blue against the pillow. He looked around the room—clothes scattered everywhere, pillows on the floor, a lamp knocked askew—and shook his head with a smile.

“Last night was crazy,” he murmured.

He checked the time and found that it was still three hours until morning in Meereen. The Great Games wouldn’t start until midday, so he had some time to relax.

He focused on the system, remembering that he still had a quest sign-in.

‘System, do a daily sign-in first.’

[Daily Sign-In Successful. Rewards Obtained:

1?? 50,000 Coins

2?? Luxurious Natural Diamond Sets x10 — Each set worth $2,000,000 and includes earrings, a bracelet, and a necklace.

3?? Captain Marvel’s Bath Water, 20 Liters]

Jacob ignored the coins and read the second reward. ‘Ten diamond sets worth a total of twenty million. That’s a generous reward, system. And the girls will love it.’

He read the third reward and grimaced. ‘Seriously? System, enough with the disgusting rewards already. I should remember to get rid of that disgusting water again.’

He sighed. ‘Alright, do the quest sign-in.’

[Quest: Saving Olenna Tyrell’s Grandchildren — Successful. Rewards Obtained:

1?? Sling Ring — Modified Version (MCU) x20: A mystical ring that allows the user to open portals to any location they can clearly visualize. Must be bound to its user with blood—once bound, it cannot be used by anyone else and will only respond to its owner. Unlike the standard version worn on two fingers, this ring is designed as a normal single-finger ring, making it more discreet and comfortable for everyday wear. Must be charged with supernatural energy to function.

2?? Pensieve — Modified Version (Harry Potter): A wide, shallow stone basin carved with ancient runes and filled with a silvery, luminous liquid. By placing a few drops of tears from the person whose memories you wish to view into the basin, their memories can be experienced exactly as they happened. Multiple people can enter together to view the same memory by touching the Pensieve.

3?? Mandrake Seeds (The Witcher): A highly poisonous plant whose humanoid-shaped roots possess powerful magical properties. Its roots are used in the potion that maintains the longevity of sorcerers, preventing further aging. The plant is incredibly dangerous to handle fresh, as it can poison the ground around it and even be fatal to breathe in.

Use: Alchemical ingredient for longevity potions.]

Jacob read the first reward thoughtfully. ‘Although the Sling Rings are useless to me and Sansa, they’re great items for Allison and the others to have. It’s good that they cannot be stolen, dropped, or stripped away since they can be bound by blood.’

He read the second reward. ‘The Pensieve is useless. Malia, Lydia, Sansa, and I can already read memories. But it’s better than a perverted reward, I guess.’

He read the last reward and nodded approvingly. ‘The mandrake is a good reward. Melissa can use it to make longevity potions for the people who haven’t become supernatural yet—like Allison’s parents.’ He sighed. ‘But I’m unlucky today—all the rewards are useless to me.’

He pulled Allison closer, burying his face in her hair, and let himself drift back to sleep.

—

Three hours later, Jacob woke when he felt Allison stirring beside him.

Allison kissed him softly. “Good morning.”

Jacob smiled. “Good morning, love.”

She sat up, looking around the room with a mixture of embarrassment and amusement. “We were really wild yesterday.”

Jacob’s grin widened. “How about we have some more fun?”

Allison rolled her eyes, though she was smiling. “Go find Lydia and the others. I’m numb down there, and I need to clean up this mess.”

Jacob sat up. “I’ll help.”

Together, they cleaned the room and took a long shower. When they finally emerged, dressed and refreshed, they teleported to the dining room.

The dining room was empty. Jacob and Allison had a quiet meal alone.

After finishing, they teleported to the front of the palace. They found everyone gathered outside, watching an unusual scene.

Melissa was beating Scott with her sandal.

Whack! Whack! Whack!

Scott yelped and tried to shield himself, but Melissa was relentless, her sandal finding its mark every time.

Jacob raised an eyebrow. “Well, Scott is back, but…” He turned to Stiles, who was laughing hysterically. “What happened? What did Scott do?”

Stiles wiped a tear from his eye. “Remember that biker chick he was dating? She spent all the two hundred thousand Melissa gave him, stole his bike, and ran away while he was sleeping five days ago. This morning he called me for money, but I said I had none. Then he called Melissa and asked her to pay the hotel he was staying at, and she found out everything.”

Jacob shook his head. “What a dumbass.”

Melissa continued hitting Scott, her voice carrying across the garden.

“How could you be so stupid?! You let that woman spend all your money, and she even stole your bike! I gave you two hundred thousand dollars to have fun, and you wasted it on some floozy! What were you thinking?! I raised you better than this! Now I’m going to teach you not to trust any woman you meet!”

Whack! Whack! Whack!

Scott, despite having drunk the Hulk serum and being practically invulnerable to normal attacks, flinched and begged for mercy. “I’m sorry, Mom! Please stop! Everyone is watching!”

“I don’t care who’s watching! You need to learn your lesson!”

Whack! Whack!

Scott kept apologizing. “I’m sorry! I won’t do it again, I promise!”

Jacob looked at him with an evil smile. “Scott, call me Dad, and I’ll help you.”

Scott glared at him through his suffering. “Never!”

Melissa hit him again. “Do you still have time to talk to others while I’m punishing you?”

Scott whimpered. “I’m sorry, Mom!”

Jacob’s smile widened. He reached into his pocket dimension and pulled out a glass shoe. “Mel, here. Use this. It’s really hard and indestructible.”

He tossed it to her. She caught it and hit Scott with it.

This time, he definitely felt it.

“OW! That hurt!” Scott screamed, clutching his arm.

Melissa’s smile turned evil. “Oh, you feel this one, don’t you? Now I’m going to punish you properly for wasting money.”

She hit him a few more times, and Scott felt every single strike. He begged for mercy, promising he would never do it again.

Lydia looked at Jacob. “Hey, Jay, what are those shoes you gave to Mel?”

Jacob grinned. “Cinderella’s Glass Slippers. Indestructible. Magical. And apparently, perfect for disciplining idiot sons.”

Lydia’s eyes narrowed with curiosity. “What can they do, and how many do you have?”

Jacob said, “I only have a pair. They’re comfortable, indestructible, and unlike the original, they can fit any woman. However, once put on, they cannot be removed by the wearer until she has declared her love for me and kissed me in front of at least three people.”

Everyone except Melissa—who was still beating Scott—looked at Jacob with a mixture of disbelief and amusement.

Allison said, “Even Cinderella’s shoes, which are supposed to fit only one woman, become perverted shoes in your hands that fit all women. And on top of that, they can’t take them off unless they confess their love to you and kiss you?”

Jacob shrugged. “I know it’s perverted, but I’ve had those shoes for months and never thought about using them on any girl. I was actually going to give them to you girls to play with, but I forgot.”

Melissa finally finished punishing Scott. She kicked him hard, sending him flying a few meters into the distance, then walked to Jacob and handed him the glass shoe.

Jacob smiled. “Don’t be angry. That woman taught him a lesson to never trust random women again.”

Melissa sighed. “A few months ago, I couldn’t even afford to pay all our bills. I don’t want him to waste money just because we have it now.”

Jacob said, “Don’t worry. He won’t do it again.”

He turned to Lydia and handed her the glass shoe, then took the other one from his pocket dimension and gave it to her. “Here. You can play with them.”

Lydia immediately put them on. “They’re really comfortable.” She tried to take them off but couldn’t. “I really can’t remove them.”

Then she said, “I love you, Jay.” She kissed him, and when she tried to take off the shoes this time, she managed to pull them off. She looked at him. “Yeah, you’re never getting these perverted shoes again.”

Jacob said, “I don’t want them. The only thing I need to win over a woman is my handsome, charming face.”

Lydia glared at him, then snorted and ignored him as she and Sansa started examining the glass shoes.

Just then, Scott walked to Melissa. “Mom, I’m really sorry. I won’t do it again.”

Melissa sighed. “Alright. If you do it again, I’ll ask Cogman to teach you a lesson.” She hugged him. “I missed you.”

Scott sighed in relief. “I missed you too, Mom.”

After Melissa let him go, Jacob smirked. “Son, aren’t you going to hug me too?”

Scott flipped him off, then looked at Arya, Shireen, and Sansa. “Who are they?”

Jacob said, “The redhead is my wife Sansa, and the girl with short hair is her sister Arya.”

Melissa called, “Shireen, come here.”

Shireen ran over with a bright smile. “Yes, Melissa?”

Melissa caught her hand and looked at Scott. “This is Shireen. From now on, she is your sister.”

Scott blinked. “What?”

Melissa said, “I’m going to adopt her. Do you have a problem with that?”

Scott shook his head quickly. “No, no. I was just surprised.” He smiled at Shireen. “Nice to meet you, Shireen.”

Shireen, who had been tense and worried that Scott might hate her, relaxed and smiled. “Nice to meet you too.”

Noah said, “Alright, I need to go to work. See you guys later.”

Jacob looked at him. “Wait. Is there anything weird happening in town lately? Are people still going missing?”

Noah shook his head. “No. Not since you killed that Wendigo and that Capelobo.”

Jacob said, “Alright. If anything happens, let us know.”

Noah said, “I will.” He kissed Natalie and teleported to Beacon Hills.

Chris said, “I need to go too. I’m still training the army.” After kissing his wife, he teleported to the Game of Thrones world.

Natalie and Victoria were about to leave when Allison asked, “Mom, where are you going?”

Victoria said, “Natalie and I are going to buy some books about history, political philosophy, and law codes to help Jacob write the laws of the kingdom he’s trying to build.”

Allison nodded. “Oh, alright. Happy shopping and happy reading.”

Shireen looked at Melissa. “Can I go with them to buy some books too?”

Melissa smiled. “Sure, sweetheart.”

Shireen hesitated about asking for money. Melissa rubbed her head. “You can ask me for money if you want. I beat Scott not just because he wasted a lot of money, but because he got robbed.”

Shireen asked, “Can I have some money then?”

Jacob handed her twenty thousand dollars from his pocket dimension. “Give this to Victoria to pay for whatever books you want to buy.”

Shireen accepted the money with a bright smile. “Thank you!” She hurried over to Victoria and Natalie, and the three of them left Serendell together.

Arya looked at Malia. “Let’s go spar.”

Malia shook her head. “No, let’s go play video games.”

Kitty said, “I’m coming too.”

Jacob said, “Malia, wait. You can join them later.”

Kitty and Arya teleported to the gaming room.

Jacob hugged Melissa and said, “Girls, come with me.”

Stiles said, “Wait, when are you going back to Meereen? I want to go with you.”

Jacob looked at him. “Really? Dany doesn’t seem to like you.”

Stiles said, “Why? I didn’t do anything to her.”

Jacob said, “It’s okay if I tease her, but you can’t. Other than my charming handsome face, I’m also a king, so she’ll tolerate it if I joke with her. But you were teasing her yesterday like you knew her, and like she isn’t a queen.”

Stiles said, “Okay, I’ll apologize to her, and I won’t joke with her again—well, at least until we get to know each other. So can you take me with you?”

Jacob said, “Alright. We’ll leave after I talk to my wives.”

With that, Jacob and his wives teleported to their private living room.

—

They sat down, and Lydia immediately got to the point. “So, what do you want to talk to us about? Is there another new wife other than Daenerys you want to tell us about?”

Jacob shook his head. “No, not for the moment.” He took five delicate jewelry boxes and put them on the table. “I have gifts for you.”

They each took a box and opened it. Inside was a diamond set—earrings, a necklace, and a bracelet. Each set had a different design.

Jacob said, “Each set is worth two million dollars.”

Allison’s eyes widened. “They’re beautiful. Thank you.”

They all thanked him, even Malia, who rarely cared about jewelry but couldn’t hide her appreciation for the elegant pieces.

Then Jacob took out four Sling Rings. “Okay, put those down. Here is my real gift.”

They looked at the rings in his hand. Malia asked, “What are those rings?”

Jacob said, “They’re called Sling Rings. These rings allow the user to open portals to any location they can clearly visualize. The ring must be bound to its user with blood—once bound, it cannot be used by anyone else and will only respond to its owner. You must channel your supernatural energy into it for it to function.”

He gave one to Allison, Lydia, Malia, and Melissa. “Sansa and I don’t need them. Our teleportation ability is far superior to these rings.”

Lydia said, “I can teleport too. Should I have one?”

Melissa said, “I can also teleport between trees.”

Jacob explained, “Your teleportation is not like mine and Sansa’s. You two can only teleport short distances. These rings can allow you to travel interplanetary distances. The range depends entirely on focus, mental visualization of the destination, and your skill in using the rings.”

Lydia, Malia, Allison, and Melissa thanked him with a kiss, then dropped their blood on the rings and bonded with them. The knowledge of how to use the rings passed to them from the rings.

Malia stood up excitedly, waved her hand in a circle, and a portal with golden edges appeared in front of her. She passed through it and teleported outside the palace.

Allison, Lydia, and Melissa did the same, each appearing in different parts of Serendell.

Jacob looked at Sansa. “I still have a ring if you want it.”

Sansa smiled. “No. Like you said, my teleportation ability is better than the ring. Keep it. Me having it would just be a waste.”

Jacob waved his hand, and Sansa flew to him with a yelp. He hugged her and kissed her deeply. They stayed there talking until Allison and the others returned from playing with the rings.

Jacob asked, “What are you going to do today?”

Melissa said, “I need to go check on the hospital in Beacon Hills.”

Lydia said, “Sansa, Erica, and I are staying home today. We’re binge-watching the first two seasons of Downton Abbey.”

Jacob wrinkled his nose. “Ugh. Sounds like fun.”

Lydia beamed. “It is! Want to join us?”

Jacob shook his head quickly. “No thanks. I’m good.”

Allison said, “I spent the last month traveling the North, so right now, all I want is to stay home, play some video games with Malia, and watch anime.”

Jacob said, “Alright, have fun then, all of you.” He stood up and smirked. “I need to go save Dany.”

Allison asked, “Save her? Isn’t she a queen with three dragons?”

Jacob shook his head. “One of her dragons ran off, and the other two she kept imprisoned, and they don’t listen to her. And she freed the slaves in Meereen, so the slave masters all hate her. She’s in real danger, and I’m not even joking.”

Allison said, “Alright, go have fun then.”

Malia said, “If there’s a fight, remember to call me.”

Jacob said, “Her enemies are just weaklings.”

Malia said, “Still, I want to play with them.”

Jacob said, “Alright, I’ll call you.” He kissed them all, then teleported to his room and changed into his noble Westerosi outfit—dark dragon-like leather and fine fabric, with his sword Griffin at his waist.

He teleported to the garden in front of the palace and found Stiles and Scott waiting for him with Cogman.

Jacob looked at Cogman. “Are you done with the satellites and weapons?”

Cogman nodded. “Yes, sir. I’ve already launched the satellites, and now you can use phones in Lady Sansa’s world. The weapons are done—more than enough to arm fifty thousand men. And I built robots that can build more weapons for us if we need them.”

Jacob said, “Although I’m a little disappointed I didn’t get to launch rockets into the sky, you did a great job. As a reward, some idiots are going to try to kill your new lady, and I will take you with me to kill them.”

Cogman smiled happily, his expression chilling. “Thank you, sir. You are the best.”

Jacob looked at Scott. “Are you coming?”

Scott nodded. “Yes.”

Jacob put an arm around his shoulder. “As your father, I’ll do you a solid favor. There’s a pretty girl by Dany’s side. If you play your cards right, you might win her love.”

Scott heard “pretty girl” and didn’t even bother to get angry at Jacob for calling himself his father. He asked, “Is she really pretty?”

Stiles said, “Are you talking about Missandei?”

Jacob nodded. “Yeah.”

Stiles smirked. “Well, she is beautiful indeed. But I don’t think Scott can get her.”

Scott glared at him, then looked at Jacob. “What should I do?”

Jacob said, “You have to act like a real man. And if they get attacked later, you have to save her and kill for her.”

Scott hesitated, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.

Jacob said, “Don’t worry. The people trying to kill her aren’t good people. They’re fighting Dany because they want to bring slavery back, and they’re butchering her soldiers and freedmen in the streets like cattle.”

Scott’s expression firmed. “Alright. I’ll kill if I have to.”

Jacob patted him hard on the back, making him stumble forward, and laughed. “That’s my son!”

Scott muttered, “Damn it,” but he didn’t argue with Jacob.

Jacob took a noble Westerosi outfit and gave it to him. “Wear this.”

After Scott changed, Jacob opened a portal to Meereen. The four of them walked through it and appeared in a back street of Meereen, heading toward Daznak’s Pit with the people of Meereen, who kept glancing at them.

Just then, a system window appeared in front of Jacob’s eyes.

[Location Sign-In Available: Host can sign in at Daznak’s Pit.]

Jacob smirked. ‘Great.’
