House of The Dragon-A God Amongst Men-Chapter 124: The Issue II

(Drakken's POV)

"Do you not think that is an issue?" Mya asked me, "That girl doing as she pleases."

I looked at her as I sat down in my chair with Daranne in my lap, "What do you mean?"

She was sitting on another chair, holding a book in her hands as she looked at me, "If she feels like she could do as she pleases, it will incite others to do the same." She said, "I do not think it is a good idea to let her do as she pleases."

"So, what, you want me to go and teach her a lesson?" I asked as Daranne rest her head on my chest, "What would be the point?"

"She is promised to you, My Lord." Mya said, "You need to go and remind her."

"Let Jaehaerys remind her of that." I told her, "If I go and fix his mistakes, he would get too comfortable with me in the future. I cannot just to everything, I am not a charity."

"That is not what I meant." Mya said, "You are not just a Lord, you are a God. You need to instill that fear, that power, on those who are meant to be yours. On those who belong to you."

"She is correct." Daranne said softly, "What would that say about us? We are given to you and we honored that. We did not go around and look for other sources of pleasure when you had no interest in us."

"And eventually, you became the mothers of my sons." I told her

"Precisely." Daranne said, "Show Saera Targaryen that is your intention and perhaps she will retrain herself."

"Her personality is foul." I said, "I have no interest in dealing with that."

"She is much different from Maegelle." Mya told me, "She will need reminding of her place. Maegelle is a gentle and sweet soul, that one is not."

I sighed, "Fine." I said, "I will go over and have a few words with her. Meanwhile, the two of you will sit still here."

"Of course." Daranne said, "But before you go, might you show us a little care?"

"Hm....." I said as I looked at her, "You can be quite needy sometimes."

"I will take my leave." Mya stood up, "Riktor is currently training, I must go and oversee that."

"No." I told her, "You don't go anywhere."

She looked at me, "Hm?"

I gestured her over, "You stay here." I said, "Come."

She walked over to me and I grabbed her hand, pulling it to me.

"My Lord, it will be a busy day for me." She told me

I kissed her hand, "Forget your duties." I said, "Right now, you have a duty to your Lord."

She smiled slightly, "Is that so?"

"That is right." I said with a slight smirk, "Why do I have two women when I won't use them at the same time."

"For now, let us indulge in pleasure."

(Third Person POV)

[King's Landing, A Few Days Later.....]

The Princess Saera Targaryen was walking down the hallway, flicking her hair back as she had a vicious scowl on her face, prompting servants and guards to step to the side as she walked.

Everyone was already used to her being in foul moods, lashing out against the servants and her siblings, but on this occasion, they noticed it was more than usual.

"Tch...!!" She said as she turned the corner, "Won't send me to Harrenhal....won't let me do anything else....Father usually lets me have everything I want!! Why will she not do the same now?!"

She was looking down as she was saying this that she did not see where she was going, causing her to run into someone from behind.

"H-Hey!!" she said as she stumbled back, "Watch where you're standing, swine!! You insolent peasant, how dare you stand in the way of I, the Princess Sae-"

"Saera, what are you doing?" Baelon Targaryen cut her off as he turned around, "You shouldn't be storming down hallways without looking where you are going."

"Baelon!" She said with a scowl, "What do you want?!"

Baelon frowned, "What do I want?" He said, "What do you mean? You ran into me!"

"Enough, love." Alyssa Targaryen, who stood behind, told Baelon, "This one is in those moods."

"I am in those moods?" Saera said, "Hmph! You are fortunate you are my siblings, otherwise I would-"

"You would what? Feed us to the dragons?" Baelon said with a raised eyebrow, "You don't have one."

Saera smirked, "Neither do you, Baelon." She said with a smug tone, "I suppose we are now equals."

Baelon scowled, "You little shit." He muttered, "Saera, Father told us that you are becoming unbearable. Why are you so obsessed with Drakken?"

Saera crossed her arms, "You would not understand." She said, "When someone has power like that, would you not want to claim it?"

"Not when it comes to that person." Alyssa said with a serious frown, "Trust us, Saera. He is nothing but trouble. There is no guarantee that he won't torment you like he has tormented us."

"Tch." Saera said, "He hasn't harmed Maegelle."

"Well, Maegelle is different." Baelon said, "She is not you. She is not.....rotten."

"Rotten?" Saera said, "Unlike her, I will give Drakken what he wants! And Maegelle was the one who started that War, or have you imbeciles forgotten?!"

"What is this ruckus?" A voice said

They turned to see their eldest brother, Aemon, walking up to them as his son and daughters were walking behind him.

"Aemon." Alyssa said, "Saera here is throwing a fit because Father will not take her to Harrenhal."

"To Drakken?" Aemon said as he stopped, "Saera, you are a child, you will not want to deal with him just yet."

"I am Ten and Four!" Saera said, "If I don't show any interest in the man I am promised to, what guarantees he won't look at Daella and want her instead?!"

"I wouldn't blame him, honestly." Baelon muttered

Alyssa smacked his shoulder, "Baelon...." She said, "That is our sister."

"Who is Drakken?" Prince Aenys said, "Father?"

"Do not concern yourself with that, Aenys." Aemon told him, "Saera, you are desiring something that you will not be able to control. Drakken is no lustful Lordling that constantly gazes upon you at court. He is no Old Lord that wishes for a little flower to have. He is something else, something much more intense, more powerful.....more dangerous."

Saera flicked her hair, "You fool." She said, "That is precisely why I want him. He holds incredible power, something I can manipulate!"

"Manipulate? You can't manipulate a Storm." Baelon frowned, "That guy is nothing but pure chaos."

"I love that! I want that!" Saera said as she smirked, "Isn't it something incredible? He is above even our House's dragons! Simply magnificent, simply beautiful, simply...exquisite. I want him. If he will not have me, I will give myself to the first lordling-"

"Shut your mouth, sister!" Aemon said as she covered her mouth, "Do not say something like that! Do you not know that Drakken has spies everywhere?! Even here! If you say something as foolish as that, he will descend upon the Red Keep and leave nothing but bodies and a river of blood right in our halls! We will have to suffer that, not you!"

Saera smacked her hand away, "Well, that is the case!" She said as she began to storm past them, "I have made up my mind!"

Baelon watched as she walked away, "This is not good at all." He said, "She will bring upon the storm that befell Dorne."

"That girl is mad." Alyssa said

Aemon narrowed his eyes, "We need to do something about that." He said,

"Or our House will suffer for it."
