House of The Dragon-A God Amongst Men-Chapter 294: The Cruel Vessel II

(Drakken's POV)

"My Lord." Ezra said, "We found him trying to sneak in."

Several of my worshippers pushed down Vaegon down to the ground as he grunted.

"Ah!" He said, "You filthy cultists! How dare you!!"

I stood there in front of him, "Well, what's this?" I smirked, "And what are you doing?"

Vaegon got on his knee and glared at me, "You...." He said, "What vile and blasphemous sorcery did you perform? Bringing this monster back from the dead?!"

I glanced over to my left, seeing that Maegor was sitting down and constantly shaking his head, smacking his temple as he grunted. It's as if he was trying to resist the little affliction I casted upon him.

"I am the God of Death." I shrugged, "It is natural if I displayed such power, such a feat. And you? What were you doing at the party?"

"I went to confront my sisters!" He exclaimed, "You have them in your clutches!"

"Oho." I chuckled, "How sharp of you to take notice. Yes, Alyssa and Viserra are mine. They are servants of the Trinity."

He glared at me, "What did you do to them?"

"Alyssa? Well, I made a deal with her." I said, "To save her and her child in exchange of her servitude. She was going to die and so was her child, Baelon knows this. What a faithful husband, keeping this from you lot."

"And Viserra?!" Vaegon exclaimed

"Oh, that one was willing to join us!" I said with a smirk, "Was she not, Ezra?"

"The Princess was curious." Ezra said, "And we showed her the truth: Drakken is the True God."

"So is Viserra going to be your new whore?" Vaegon spat

"Nonsense." Ezra said, "The Princess will serve as a Dragon Maiden, preaching to our followers and will assume a role of leadership when the time comes."

"Fuck you." Vaegon said

I chuckled and looked at Ezra, "This one always pissed me off." I said, "From the moment I met him when he was a little runt."

"He has quite the mouth." Ezra nodded

"He insulted my daughter, you know that?" I said

Ezra scowled, "How dare he!" He said, "To insult a demigod like the Princess Vaella and Princess Astoriass...it is a crime!!"

Vaegon scowled back, "They..." he started, "Are bastards!"

I clutched him by the throat, "They are Drakkengard." I said seriously as he gasped for air, "And you will show them respect!"

"Quiet!!!" Maegor bellowed, "Dragon God....silence these voices!!"

I let go of Vaegon and looked at him, "What voices?"

He looked at me, "My head...." He started, "It's throbbing!!"

"Okay. I am doing that." I said, "That's to keep you uncomfortable. But voices?"

"They are shouting....aggravating...." He said, "Like scratching on stone...."

"Hm." I said, "I will deal with you later. Do me a favor and shut up...."

He stood up and walked over to the wall, covering his ears and gritted his teeth.

I looked back at Vaegon, "Anyways." I said, "I believe it is time to get rid of you."

"If you kill me...." He said, "Your precious Maegelle-"

"Ah, she won't know." I shrugged, "And I am not killing you."

I snapped my finger and a mark of immortality appeared on his cheek, which surprised him.

"These can last indefinitely now until I decide it so." I said with a smirk

"W-What the...." He started

I then waved my hand and his entire body was cut into pieces via my Cutting Sorcery.

"There you go..." I said

"Agh!" He shouted as his head rolled down, "You...."

"Wait," i said as I flicked my wrist

His head was cut into three pieces as blood began to spray everywhere.

"Urghhh!!" He grunted, "I...."

"There you go...." I said

"How can he still speak...?" Ezra asked

"Oh, I don't know." I said, "Grab a few chests, put his pieces in them except a hand. Go across the Realm and bury the chests somewhere where they won't be found."

"And the Hand?" Ezra asked

I crouched down and picked a piece of Vaegon's head, one with his eye which was widened.

"Instigation is part of War." I said with a smirk, straightening up, "Vaegon, you are a key to the next step in my plan. Instigating a brief conflic between the Faith and your House. Something Maegor is quite familiar with."

His eye narrowed and I heard a voice coming from the floor, faint.

"You will...." Vaegon managed, "Be found....out...."

"Deny, deny, deny." I said as I tossed the piece back onto the pile, "What proof would they have? What would my Sweet Maegelle do if she won't even know?"

Ezra looked at me, "It will be done." He said, "At once."

I nodded, "I trust you with this."

He bowed slightly, "You honor me."

"And make sure that Alyssa and Viserra are still with us." I said

"Viserra won't betray us. She's too faithful to the Trinity." Ezra said, "Alyssa acts purely out of love for Baelon. We can use him as leverage. Perhaps....sending Maegor to retrieve Dark Sister would give her motivation to truly give herself to you."

Maegor looked at us, "What is my sword!"

I walked over to him and placed my hand on his shoulder, "Well, the thing is..." I started, "You died. And it was give to a worthy warrior, I guess. So that idiot has it."

"He isn't worthy of it." He scowled

"Look, I need you to play nice. I will do something about the voices." I said, "I believe it could have something to do with your time away. And the shit you've pulled. Who knows? But I can already tell you will be a pain in the ass so I tell you what; Serve me well, and I will do you a favor."

"What favor is that?!" He glared at me

"I will give you a dragon." I told him, "Since Balerion is taken already. And well..who is the one person you would like back, hm?"

He looked down and pondered for a few seconds, ".....Her...." He said, "You can....?"

I nodded and patted his shoulder, "It will be done." I said with a smirk, "Should you serve me well...."

"I will bring her back."
