House of The Dragon-A God Amongst Men-Chapter 127: Scandal III

"He is right, Father." Aemon said, "We warned you. We told you that you needed to be firm with Saera before she did anything rash. Now, seven men are dead."

"They died because they fell to temptation." Jaehaerys said seriously

"They wouldn't have been tempted by Saera if you didn't stop her." Baelon said with a scowl, "There has to be limits. Drakken takes these things seriously, you know that."

"He made a deal with Saera." Alysanne said, "If she holds herself out for four years, Drakken will immediately take her the moment she turns Ten and Eight. If she breaks the deal, he will have Daella and will cast a storm over King's Landing."

"You're serious?" Baelon asked

"She did not seem to care about King's Landing's well-being but the idea of him choosing Daella over her was enough to have her comply." Alysanne said, "It is unlike Drakken to be so...reasonable...."

"We know what he is capable of." Aemon said, "He is most definitively behind Corlys Velaryon's rampages in the East."

"Yea, tell me about it." Baelon said, "There is no way that Corlys would do something without provocation. Drakken is the one behind the villages being wiped all that time ago as well, we just could not prove it back then."

"Has Maegelle's influence really affected him that much?" Aemon said with a frown, "Mother, you said Drakken has warmed up to his mistresses more?"

Alysanne nodded, "Yes." She said, "He has grown fond of them, very much so. Daranne Lannister bore him a son and he seems to be his current favorite. Every time I go there, she is always on his lap without a protest by Drakken."

"Hm...." Jaehaerys said

"What is it?" Baelon asked

"We can use that." Jaehaerys said, "He's growing soft."

"What do you mean?" Aemon asked

"To free our Family from his shackles....." Jaehaerys said seriously, "We can use that weakness against him."

"It will not end well, Jaehaerys." Alysanne said

"As long as Maegelle is influencing him, he will be soft." Jaehaerys said, "He could have changed his mind, he could've simply taken Daella and cast Saera aside....but it is the fact that he was reasonable and made a deal with her. He will be softer by the day.....this is good for us...."

"That may be true...." Aemon said, "But if Maegelle's influence has made him softer....practically saved hundreds of lives, if not, thousands....."

Baelon narrowed his eyes, "What would Saera's influence do?" He said, "She is nothing like Maegelle....she is much much worse..."

Alysanne gulped, "Gods...." She said,

"You are right....."

*********************

"Oh, Princess!" a Lordling approached Saera who was walking outside of the Red Keep, "Hold on a minute."

Saera stopped and looked at him, her arms behind her back and her chest puffed forwards. The Lordling stopped and noticed the sun shining on a bit of her cleavage, which caused him to blush a little. The sight of a Targaryen Princess as alluring as Saera was not something he was used to seeing.

"What is it?" She asked

"I heard...." He said nervously, "I heard that you took a few Knights and well...."

Saera raised her eyebrows, "Who told you that?"

"Ser Steffon...." He said, "Before he left to meet you...."

"I do not recall this Ser...." Saera said as she closed her eyes, "What is it to you?"

"Well, is it true?" He whispered, "That you are willing to...well...you know?"

"You want to fuck me?" Saera said bluntly

"Uhm.....well...." the Lordling said as he rubbed his hair

"Hmph." She said, "I am reserved for someone. Leave me be."

"Reserved?" he said, "So....you didn't sleep with them?"

"No." Saera said before looking at him, "Do you want to be my first?"

He blushed, seeing the tempting gaze of Saera Targaryen, who gave him a seductive smirk.

"T-That would be nice." He said with a smile

Saera chuckled, "Fufu~" She said as she covered her mouth with the back of her hand, "You are a stupid man, do you truly think I will stoop myself so low?"

"Well, you were willing to fuck some knights." He said with a frown

"Here." She said with a smirk, "I will let you take a peek of my undergarments. Depending on your reaction, I might consider letting you fuck me~ Get on your knees, pleb."

He slowly got on his knees as she extended her leg forward, "O-Okay...."

"Now, lift my dress up." She said with a wicked smirk

"You're watching this, right?" Saera thought to herself gleefully

The Lordling reached for dress but before he could touch it, his hand exploded violently with blood and bone.

He widened his eyes, "E-Eh?" He said as he jerked himself back, "A-Aghhh!!!!"

"Ha!" Saera laughed, "Do you seriously think I will allow a lowly man like you touch me?!"

The Lordling's face was pale as his hand bled profusely, "M-My hand!!" He shouted in pain as he looked at Saera, "What did you do?!"

Saera gave him a wicked and sadistic smile, "Do not gaze upon my beautiful figure without knowing who I belong to~" She said, "I am nobody but Lord Drakken's~~"

Behind Saera, Drakken's figure appeared out of thin air, his glowing red eyes glowing as he menacingly glared at the Lordling.

"W-Who...?" He said

Drakken lifted his hand and reached over Saera, pointing his palm at the Lordling, "I know this one made a promise...." He said with a serious tone, "But to ensure nobody thinks of touching what is mine...."

Suddenly, the Lordling's leg was severed, blood erupting violently as he fell backward.

"AGhhh!!!" He grunted in pain, "W-Why?!?"

"Don't touch her." Drakken said as he placed his hand on Saera's shoulder, "The Princess is promised to me, you filthy little shit."

The Lordling looked at them, seeing how Drakken was looking at him with a vicious glare while Saera sadistically smirked at him.

"Oh, my Drakken~~" Saera said as she grabbed his hand, "My love, I adore your touch~"

"Shut up." Drakken said with an annoyed tone, "You are too much to handle. A message needs to be sent."

"This will get the job done."
