"So it is done." I said as I sat down, crossing my arms, "Princess Daenerys will marry my son."
Jaehaerys nodded, "Yes." He said, "I am curious, though. What made you allow this?"
"Nothing." I said, "Sylas wanted it. And he is my son. The Sons of Drakken will get what they want, one way or another."
He nodded, "I understand." He said, "But what if what they want is something forbidden, even by you?"
"We'll cross that bridge when we get there." I said, "Have you thought about what I told you?"
"Hm." He sighed, "I have. It is.....troubling. Are you sure it won't backfire on you?"
"It won't." I said, "By the way, Jaehaerys. Would you be willing to receive youth from me? At a price. To lengthen your reign and life."
"No." He said without hesitation, "If my time comes, I will embrace it."
"Hm." I said, "Brings me to another question."
"What is it?" He asked as he narrowed his eyes
"Those children of yours....who are not Marked, who do not consider themselves Mine...." I said, "Daella, Aemon, Vaegon, Gael, Baelon, and Alyssa's first two sons.....tell me.....what would you do if something happens to them?"
"What are you talking about?" He asked
"Would you let them be so stubborn that they won't let me help them?" I asked him, "Or will you ask me for help, at a price? I am quite curious."
"What are you implying? Is something going to happen?" He asked
"Yes." I said, "I will remove my grace from them. The only reason they have made it this far is because I, the God of Death, have allowed it. Alyssa was supposed to die a long time ago, and I prevented it. Vaegon died, and I brought him back. Aemon....he should have been ripped to shreds years ago. But I am tired of giving your Family favors. I will speak seriously to my women about this; I will abandon your family."
He looked at me, "We are your servants, technically." He said seriously, "Are you going to do that so casually?"
"You and Alysanne are." I said, "Alyssa is as well. You already told me that you would like to be unaffected by my grasp. But Alysanne? She is skeptical. Her motherly love prevents her to desire to simply escape said grasp. I respect it. I respect her.....to an extent. I may even bring back Silverwing back as a present, should she do something for me."
"And what do you want?" He asked
"Nothing." I chuckled, "Not now, at least. Alyssa is my servant; she has served me faithfully. But the rest? Not really. If something happens, Jaehaerys, not saying it will....but if it does.....do not look to me. Let nature run its course. I have seen it; Fate. And all of your children...most of them should have died. As much as you all hate, I am the disruption of this world's balance. I have changed the Fate of every living being in this world, from dragon to insect. Everything lives because I allow it. Don't you dare forget that."
His gaze hardened, "Hm...."
"Our Houses will come closer. My son will marry your daughter. But that won't change anything." I told him, "Sylas will treat Daenerys well, I know it. I won't deny that. But whatever you decide to you for the sake of your house and realm, know that she will be safe from whatever wrath you incite. I give you my word. The moment she marries my son, she will become my daughter. And we both know, Jaehaerys, how much I care for my girls."
"Fine." He said, "I am too old for this. For the sake of peace....we'll get along. But first...."
"What?" I raised an eyebrow
"I would like to see them." He said seriously,
"My granddaughters."

"You went over and challenged Maegor to a duel?" Mya asked Riktor who was leaning against the wall of the balcony, looking at the horizon, "Riktor...."
"Hm?" He said as he looked at her, "Oh. Yea."
"And.....?" She crossed her arms
"What?" He asked, a bit confused
"What happened?" Mya asked her seriously
"Ah." He smiled, "Well, his movements were sluggish, so I got him quite easily. I think it has to do with Father draining his blood to resurrect Visenya Targaryen."
"Hm." She said, "Visenya..."
"Yes." Riktor said, "I thought she'd look older, being Maegor's mother and all. I guess Father did her a favor and granted her youth."
"Maegelle and Saera don't know about her." Mya said seriously, "Not yet, at least. Keep your mouth quiet until your Father returns."
"Fine." Riktor said with a shrug, "I didn't plan on saying anything."
"Another thing." Mya said with a serious scowl
"What?" He looked at her
"Change your fucking sheets after you have the maids in your bed." Mya said with an annoyed tone, "The smell is pungent. I won't tell you again. Keep it up, and I will deprive you of any servants. You will have to clean your room yourself. And you will do it, don't think I won't force you."
Riktor frowned, "Fine...."
"Sometimes you test my patience." She turned around
"Wait, don't leave yet." Riktor called out
She looked at him, "What is it?"
"Sylas is being betrothed?" He asked
"Yes." Mya said, "To Daenerys Targaryen."
"Oh." He said, "Oh, that's nice."
"Your Father would have done the same with you if you weren't being a pain, Riktor." She said, "You need to learn how to show restraint."
"Well....." Riktor scratched his cheek
"Saera has grown annoyed." She said seriously, "If she catches any of the women walking out your room, she will reprimand them. And she might hurt them. Think about your actions, don't make me do anything hasty."
"Fine, fine." He said as he rubbed his neck, "No need to overreact. I will calm down."
"Good." Mya said as she began to walk away, "Change those sheets."
Riktor watched as his mother left, "Oh boy." He sighed and looked back up at the sky, "Hm....."
"Sylas is betrothed, hm...."
