House of The Dragon-A God Amongst Men-Chapter 91: Movement In The Shadows II

(Drakken's POV)

"You've really become more interested in us human women than I hoped for." Mya said as I stood in front of the fireplace, "Daranne is now claiming you will put a child in her?"

"Heh." I said with a smirk, "I only said that to rile her father up. What do you think of the proposal he gave?"

"It is good....I think...." Mya said, "Those two Houses only seek you out of ambition. If you think of allying our House with them, we have to ensure that we are in control."

"We are." I said

"I see." Mya said, "Tell me, My Lord...."

"What?" I asked

"Are you beginning to become attracted to other women?" She asked me

I looked at her, "What is that supposed to mean?" I asked her, "Don't tell me....you're becoming jealous."

"It is.....out of character...." She said, "You didn't show interest in me for the longest time. Now....you suddenly took Daranne....."

"Hm..." I said, "Perhaps you've changed me. The countless nights you've pestered me to fuck you...."

She blushed and walked over to me, "What do you feel for me?"

"What do you mean?" I asked with a raised eyebrow

"I am devoted to you, always..." she said, "But I wish to know...what are your feelings for me..."

She hugged me as she pressed herself against my body, looking at me with desiring eyes.

I patted her cheeks, "I am fond of you."

"Are you fond of Daranne?" She asked me

"Not really." I said, "She is only for sexual pleasure and satisfaction. A toy, that is all."

"Like me?" She asked

"No." I said, "You are my Mistress, the mother of my son, a Lady of House Drakkengard."

"I see..." She said as she leaned her head against my chest, "I do not wish to be forsaken...."

"Do not say things like that." I told her, "Daranne Lannister belongs to me, by right. It is only natural that I pay her a bit of attention. As for you, you were given to me via a deal.....do you remember? I treated you well....I have shown you a care that nobody in this world would have given you. I gave you a purpose...and I gave you something that you have wanted...a child."

She looked at me, a tear running down her cheek, "I am eternally grateful..." She said softly

"I don't see you acting this way when it comes to Maegelle." I said as I turned around

"She is your Lady." She said as she grabbed my hand, "You are to marry her and she is to bear you a child....a sibling for Riktor."

"Yes...and you are a Drakkengard...not Daranne." I said, "Don't forget that."

"Right..." She said, "I apologize."

"Her body satisfies....it gets the job done." I said with a slight smirk, "But you are different. I enjoy you more than I can admit."

"I am flattered." She said with a chuckle, "You say kind words, My Lord."

"Perhaps I should put another child in you....as a reward for the pleasure you give me." I said while looking at her

"Y-You are heating me up..." She said while blushing, "Please stop it...."

"Enough of this...." I chuckled as I shook my head, "Have you made any progress?"

She nodded, "As a matter of fact, I have." She said, "I've been in contact with Olyver and Sara. They have been tracking down any signs of him....The Raven."

"And...?" I raised an eyebrow

"We have reason to believe that in a few more weeks, it will appear." Mya said, "I have crafted a plan that I wish to consult with you. You will be our little bait, so to speak. Not like it is a problem. The first time you saw it, it was purposely watching you. So I think that if you replicate that moment....we can trap it."

"Oldstones?" I asked

"Indeed." She smiled

"Very well." I said, "Make the preparations. If you excuse me....."

"There is a Queen I have to meet with."

***********

"My Husband has become aware of your movements." Alysanne said, "Not so subtle. There has been whispers of a Dornish envoy meeting with House Lannister. I can only imagine that you were there."

I shrugged, "I don't intend to be subtle." I told her, "Tell Jaehaerys I said hello, I miss breaking his bones and spirit."

We were in the main hall, sitting in front of each other in couches that I had brought in. Maegelle sat next to me as Alysanne sat by herself.

"Mother..." She said, "You said that you will not bring up anything of the sort."

"He has to know that we don't intend on letting him do too much that he pleases." She said, "You have made a deal, Ten years of peace."

I shrugged, "I know." I said, "I haven't done anything."

"Don't act like you're innocent of the murders in Essos." She said seriously

"And what the fuck do you care about that?" I said with a scowl, "Accusing me of such bullshit....I should gut your dragon for that."

"Lord Drakken...please..." Maegelle said as she grabbed my hand, "Calm yourself."

I narrowed my eyes at Alysanne, "Is that all you come to do, Alysanne?" I asked, "Just bitch at me about things I don't care about?"

"I have asked for you to grant leave to Maegelle." She said seriously, "I want her to come back home....for a few days, at least."

"No." I said

"Please." The Queen said

"No." I repeated

"I will do anything." She told me, "I need her there."

"I have given you the chance to visit whenever you please." I said, "You are overstepping....getting too comfortable."

"My Lord..." She said, "Hear her out. She could offer something worth your while...."

I tilted my head, "Go on, Queen." I said, "You are quite fortunate that I've grown quite fond of this one."

Alysanne cleared her throat, "Name your price."

"Oh? We're going that route?" I asked, "Very well.....uhm....let me think....Oh, I know."

"Yes...?" She asked while blinking

"I want Balerion's blood." I said

She widened her eyes, "W-What?!" She exclaimed, "Why do you want that?!"

"I don't know, just to have it." I said, "I can always go and take it...but since you insist....I might as well politely ask that."

"You already took pieces of his bone and flesh!" She stood up, "It took him a long time to recover from that, Drakken. Have you no shame?!"

"Mother, calm yourself." She said

"No, Maegelle, Balerion is the Symbol of House Targaryen...for us to let him defile him...." She started

"Is no different than what I would do to your children...." I said boringly, "Constantly drain their magic while tormenting them. I miss pissing Baelon off....I would love to create some drama between him and his wife..."

"Please don't." Maegelle said softly as she squeezed my hand, "Please, My Lord."

"Why do you want his blood?" Alysanne asked

"That is my business." I said, "I'll be kind enough to heal him this time. Ooooh, here's a thought! I can restore him to his full might! Someone could claim him! Now, does that not sound fun?"

Alysanne looked at me, "You could do that?"

"I am a Dragon God." I shrugged,

"It's nothing special to me."
