House of The Dragon-A God Amongst Men-Chapter 128: Scandal IV

"You promised peace...." Alysanne said

"I am tired of you imbeciles relying on that promise to do as you fucking wish." I said with a vicious glare, "Keep your children controlled and we will not get to this point. When the Ten years are over, prepare yourselves, I will declare War on all of you."

"That is a long time from now." She said, "A lot can happen. We could have an established alliance by then."

"Is that so?" I tilted my head

"You have offered a marriage pact between your son and my granddaughters, that is something that is worth considering." Alysanne said, "Marriages bring forth peace."

"You could say that." I said, "But I won't go along with your customs and laws. Marrying my son means being absorbed into my House, and it will only serve as a brief satisfaction. The Duskguard is not something you can stave off. My creatures are superior to your Dragons, you know that. I hold power that not even your Conqueror would be capable of matching. Know your fucking place...."

"Ho...?" Saera said, "I like that~ It feels nice, your superior standing....I want you so bad....."

"And keep this one on a tight leash." I pointed at her while standing up

I heard the door open, and someone walked in.

"Mother? I heard something happened." I turned to see Daella walking in

"Daella!" Alysanne exclaimed, "What are you-"

"Hey." I said as I appeared behind her

"Ah!" Daella exclaimed as she looked at me with surprised, "Y-You!"

"I heard you have gone to see Mya's brother." I said with a slight smirk, "He succeeded in courting you but you refused marriage when you found out you were to be before a Weirwood Tree."

"R-Royce....?" She said softly as she stepped back

"Little Flower...." I said as I placed my hand on her chin, "Why must you go for a subordinate of mine? When you can have me?"

"Y-You...?" She blinked

"H-Hey! You are mine already!!" Saera exclaimed as she ran towards us and pushed Daella away, "Away, Daella! Drakken is to be my husband!"

"M-Mother!" Daella said with a frown, "Why is Saera so violent today?!"

"Saera! Enough of this!" Alysanne scowled

"You." I told Saera as I flicked her head, causing her to stumble back, "Be nice to your sister."

"Ah!" She said, "My Love, don't hurt me!"

"That is nothing." I said, "Another thing, Saera. If I find out that you are being foul to your older sister, I will make sure you have none of me."

"E-Eh?!" She exclaimed, "But that is not fair! You cannot do that to me!"

"Do you want me or not?" I narrowed my eyes, "Be nice to Daella."

"T-Tch...!" She said with a scowl, "Fine."

"What is going on?" Daella said softly, "Mother, I am so confused."

"My apologies, Drakken." Alysanne said, "But Daella is already promised to someone."

I raised my eyebrow, "Who?"

Daella blushed, "L-Lord Rodrick Arryn..." She said softly

"Hm..." I simply said, "And you did not bother to tell me this when I put the ultimatum on Saera?"

"We were baffled at how you handled this one." Alysanne said, "I apologize for that."

"Hmph." Saera said, "It is only fitting that I am given to you."

"Enough, you little spoiled child." I told her, "Very well, Daella Targaryen. If Rodrik Arryn does not satisfy you, you can turn to me."

"I will marry him." She said softly, "And will have his children. You do not want someone like me should something happen..."

I chuckled, "It won't bother me." I said, "Besides, I asked your Mother if she wanted some...."

Alysanne cleared her throat, "Enough, Drakken."

"When will you come and see me, My Love?" Saera hugged my arm, "I yearn for your warmth already...."

"I don't plan on it." I said, "But if Alysanne wants to take you to visit Maegelle, you can tag along if you are nice to your sisters."

"I promise!" She said with a smile

I sighed, "Young girls these days." I said, "They are so inconsistent with their moods."

"Tell me about it." Alysanne said, "Give my regards to my daughter. I know she is very comfortable and happy living with you. I hope we can all coexist properly at some point."

"Hm." I turned around, "Sure."

"She tried doing what?!" Maegelle said with a baffled expression

I was sitting in my throne as Daranne was in my lap, hugging my neck, "You heard me." I said, "She wanted seven idiot knights to fuck her."

She was standing in front of me, completely shocked, "I.....I cannot believe that girl..." She said softly, "I am so sorry, My Lord....for that....."

I shrugged, "I killed them before anything happened." I said, "But I think I got her under control. I told her that if she did not wait four years, I would not take her and will cast Ammara over King's Landing. Not only that, I will take Daella instead."

"I..." She said, "I heard Daella is to be married."

"Do you seriously think that will stop me from doing that?" I raised an eyebrow

"Hm...." Daranne said, "Our Lord cares not for established agreements that are not his, Maegelle..."

"I know that." Maegelle said, "But in doing something to Lord Arryn, you could start a War. Something you promised not to do."

"It does not matter to me." I said, "Things have been too quiet and boring. The crusade in Dorne was a nice change of pace."

"I do not agree with it." She said with a frown

"Unfortunately, I do not care if you do or not." I said, "You know that. My sweet Maegelle. I will admit, that I restrain myself at your request. You have no idea how fondly I think of you. But you need to understand, you do not command me."

"I know." She said softly, "And....I appreciate everything you have done for me."

"You have to give in at some point, Maegelle." Daranne told her, "You are meant to be his Lady, Lady Drakkengard. Lady Mya gave him his Heir, you are to give him more....."

"What?" She asked

"Do not worry." I said, "Maegelle, I will respect your decision. I will not force myself on you. But Daranne is right. If Saera comes before you decide to give yourself to me, I will take her instead. And as painful as it is for me..."

"She will give me a child before you do."
