House of The Dragon-A God Amongst Men-Chapter 395: Tense Dragons IV

(Third Person POV)

"Did you make me barren?" Alyssa asked Drakken who was sitting down across from her, "Drakken...."

She was in Drakken’s chambers, one of those in the guest wing of the Red Keep. Maegelle had woken Vaella up and took her to the Secret Gardens to meet with Alysanne and Daenerys. Alyssa took the opportunity to come and speak to Drakken about something important.

"Barren?" Drakken looked at her, "Huh?"

"Am I infertile?" Alyssa asked, "Did you make me infertile???"

Alyssa then noticed Drakken’s expression, he appeared to be pushing his tongue against his cheek as his eyes darted to the side. It was as if he was trying to hold in a laugh, considering the corner of his mouth curled upwards momentarily.

"U-Uhm...." Drakken said, "No...."

Alyssa stood up, "Y-You did?!" She exclaimed, "B-But why?!"

Drakken chuckled as a smirk appeared on his mouth, "Sit down." He waved her off, "I didn’t make you infertile."

"What?" She said, "But why are you laughing?"

Drakken placed his feet on the table, "Not you, Alyssa. I didn’t make you infertile." He said with a chuckle, "It takes two to dance, does it not? You’re not the one tripping."

Alyssa widened her eyes, "....Baelon...."

Drakken gave her a wink, "Attagirl."

"But....why?" Alyssa asked, her voice was soft, "Why would you make him infertile? H-How did this happen?"

"Don’t ask." Drakken chuckled, "But I didn’t make you infertile. Quite the opposite. When I saved you and your boy, I turned your fertility all the way up. You’re incredibly fertile, like very fertile. A little drop and you’ve got yourself another little shit."

Alyssa blinked, "What?"

"This just tells me that you’re loyal." Drakken said with a smirk

"Why would you do this to Baelon?" She asked

"Because it’s funny." Drakken crossed his arms, "And don’t ask me that question, Alyssa. You know damn well why."

"But....." Alyssa looked down, "This whole time....."

"Congratulations, Alyssa. You’ve displayed your loyalty." Drakken said, "Because if you had somehow gotten pregnant, that would have made things incredibly spicy. To stir some drama up, to create some chaos...that is what I strive for."

"I.....I would never....." Alyssa said softly, "I wouldn’t betray him...I wouldn’t....."

"I know." Drakken said, "But....you want a child badly, don’t you? You saw it in a dream, didn’t you? You have a daughter....." freewebnoveℓ.com

"I....I do....." Alyssa looked at him

"Let me ask you this?" Drakken said with a slight smirk, "Are you sure that in the dream, the little girl is Baelon’s?"

Alyssa’s face went pale, "N-No...." She said softly, "No, you don’t mean...no, I could never...."

"I’ve given the details of your dream a lot of thought." Drakken said as he lowered his legs off the table and leaned forward, "From what you’ve told me, your son, Viserys, and Daella’s daughter, Aemma, are married and have a child. Rhaenyra Targaryen was here name, am I right?"

Alyssa nodded, "Yes."

"Well, that can’t be right." Drakken said, "Since Viserys and Rhaenys are currently promised to each other, no? So that tells me one thing: something happened that kept Viserys from marrying Rhaenys. Well, my first thought is that I managed to pry Rhaenys off Viserys and gave her to Riktor....or...Rhaenys died."

"Wait...." Alyssa said softly, "No, that....."

"Let me finish." Drakken said, "Daemon is still with Rhaella....and Aegon is left without bride.....so that tells me that things are a bit strange in this future. Well, that doesn’t matter. I thought real hard about this next part, you should be proud of me. In this future, there is no way I could undo Baelon’s infertility and yet....you have a daughter....and you claim it is his....."

"What?" She said

"My point is....." He continued, "Is that no matter how many changes there are to be made for this peaceful future to happen, I still won’t undo that. So it makes me think...is that child really Baelon’s?"

"H-How.....no..." Alyssa said, "I would never....."

"Perhaps..." Drakken leaned back, "No....I would never do that to my precious Alyssa Targaryen...."

"What? Do what?" Alyssa looked at him, "What are you talking about?"

"I said that a little drop will give you a little shit in no time." Drakken said with a chuckle, "Perhaps you came to me and asked for that drop."

"What?!" Alyssa scowled, "I would never!!"

"Maybe." Drakken said, "But look at your Mother’s probable future. Tyrian’Cal."

"What?" Alyssa frowned

"In her future, everything is destroyed. Your Father and brothers are dead. Your sons are fugitives of House Drakkengard." Drakken said, "And I am gone. In my absence, Riktor is in charge. And he declares Tyrian’Cal. I don’t want to discuss the details of that but basically, he fucks your mother."

"He.....what?" Alyssa said, a bit baffled

Drakken shrugged, "You’d think to yourself that your Mother wouldn’t do that." He said, "But like I said, anything can happen."

"But....." Alyssa said softly, "I.....Drakken, I.....I don’t want any of this...."

Drakken stood up and walked around the table and placed his hand on her shoulder, "Frankly, I don’t give a shit." He said, "You can either tell Baelon the truth or keep it to yourself, making him think there is a problem with you. The choice is yours. You told me you don’t want me to kill him or physically hurt him....so there you go."

"But....." Alyssa said as a tear formed in her eye, "I’ve served you faithfully.....this is not fair...."

"Don’t come to me, speaking about what is fair or not." Drakken said with a serious expression, "When my Golden Haired Goddess is not here with me."

"But...." Alyssa looked at him, "Drakken.....please....."

Drakken stepped away, "I don’t want to hear any of it." He said as he began to walk away, "If you excuse me...."

"I will be with my Dragon Maiden."

"The Young Lord Sylas." Alysanne said to Maegelle, "He gave Daenerys a golden rose....which I found to be quite odd...."

Maegelle looked at her mother with surprise, "He did?"

She looked over to the grass of the Secret Gardens, seeing that her sisters were playing with her daughter. She noticed that in Daenerys’s hand, there was a golden rose.

"Yes." Alysanne said, "It appears he has taken a liking to your sister."

Maegelle could not help but smile, "Oh, that Sylas...." She said softly, "Ever since receiving his Blessing, he’s been creating golden objects and gifting them to everyone he likes. I’ve received three golden roses with such details. He told me that he loved me dearly and wanted me to be happy....."

"Oh." Alysanne said, "Is that so."

"He’s so precious...." Maegelle looked down, "That boy of mine...."

"I’ve noticed that all of you claim Drakken’s children as yours." Alysanne said, "Even if they’re not related to you by blood."

"Is that so wrong?" Maegelle asked, "We are married to Drakken after all."

"Hm....." Alysanne said as she looked over to Vaella, who was smiling brightly, "I suppose if that is what makes you happy, I should not protest it."

Maegelle placed her hand on her belly, "I....." She said softly, "I think you will have another grandson...."

Alysanne looked at her, "Is that so?"

She nodded, "Yes." She said with a smile, "Sometimes.....he responds to my voice...excitedly...."

"Baelon was the same." Alysanne said, "He would kick, and when I spoke to him, he would respond by kicking more."

Maegelle smiled, "I hope this child will be kind." He said, "If he is a son.....I want him to be strong....and kind....."

"Like his brothers."
