"I wish to go back to the Citadel." Maegelle told me as she sat across from me, "Can I?"
I looked at her, "What?" I asked, "What for?"
I was sitting in a chair, holding Vaella in my arms as she sat in my lap. The girl was reaching for the tables, giggling as she had a small piece of bread in her hand.
"I..." Maegelle started, "I enjoyed my time there. I like helping people...and I believe it would be best for the Trinity. You worked out something with House Hightower, right?"
I patted Vaella's head, "I don't know." I said, "I don't want you to be away from Vaella."
"I was actually thinking of taking her with me." She said as she set her cup of tea down, "I think it is best if she stays with her mother."
I frowned, "And you intend to keep me from my daughter?" I asked, "Why?"
"You can visit us, Drakken." She said, "It won't be so different than the last time I was there. I think it is good, I really do. Besides, the Citadel Maesters are willing to bend the rules a bit. Considering you threatened them already."
"I need to think about it." I told her
"Please, let me go." She said, "I want to spend some time there, helping people. I want to improve my healing skills, let me have this."
I sighed, "I said I would think about it."
She nodded, "Very well." She said, "Hey, I want to know what your intention with Jocelyn is."
I shrugged, "I am examining her mind." I said, "It doesn't seem to have any changes."
"There will be a time when she needs to find out about her daughters, Drakken." She told me, "You promised me."
"That time is not here yet." I told her, "I will have it done when it comes, Maegelle. Don't worry about a thing."
"I can do nothing but worry." She said, "I already heard of your plans to go to Dorne....or send Maegor there....why would you even bring him back?"
I closed my eyes, "I already told you..." I said, "It was to have a vessel for Sol'Tyr. But the fucking prick refused him!"
"Don't curse in front of Vaella." She said
I opened my eyes and looked down at Vaella, who was looking up at me, giving me a smile.
"She doesn't mind." I said as I patted her cheek, "Right, my love?"
She smiled even more. I could feel the warmth emanating from her. Her eyes were so beautiful, especially her purple one, which reminded me most of her mother.
"The way she looks at you..." Maegelle said, "It is quite the sight. So much love in those eyes, Drakken...she is precious."
"Hm." I said, "That, she is."
"I want you to think about her....." She said, "And Astorias....when you make these decisions."
"All I do is think of them." I said seriously,
"Don't you dare say otherwise."

[King's Landing]
"Why are we here?" Daella asked Viserra, "I don't trust that we are alone."
"We have the Kingsguard, worry not." Viserra said as she stood by the railing
They were outside the Sept, where most go and pray. Viserra wanted to walk around the area, which coincidentally has a nice view of the blackwater. This specific part is her favorite due to the sight of the calm waters combined with the birds flying over it with the occasional ships sailing.
A few meters away, two Kingsguard Knights were standing guard as the two Princesses were there. Viserra brought Daella over because she felt like she needed to spend time with her sister. The Princess was doubtful about this, but only accepted the invitation because she wanted to get some fresh air.
"What are your thoughts, Daella?" Viserra asked
Daella looked at her, "What do you mean?" She asked, "My thoughts?"
"On our House allying with the Trinity." Viserra said, "Not all of us are Marked....but eventually, we will be."
"But...." Daella said, "We were raised in the Faith. I don't know if this is right.....to suddenly shift religions."
"It will take some time, sister." Viserra told her, "But eventually, both religions will fully coexist and our House will be under the Grace of the Trinity."
"I do not understand why you would willingly give yourself to Drakken." Daella said softly as she looked down, "Why, Viserra?"
"I saw him bring a man back from the dead in that feast." Viserra said, "Only a fool will be able to think that he is no god. And when speaking about giving ourselves willingly to him, are we not in the same boat? But in different rooms?"
Daella looked away, "W-What are you speaking about?"
"Drakken told Father he slept with three of his daughters." Viserra continued, "Maegelle and Saera are two. Who is the third?"
"I...." Daella said softly
"I do not judge, sister." Viserra grabbed her hand, "You were vulnerable and he exploited that. It was wrong, I admit.....and I don't blame you. But know that you are with Aemon and he loves you dearly. And.....well, I don't see you any differently...."
"I regret it." She said as she looked down, "He blocked my memory of that until long after."
"I understand." She said, "It is what he does."
Daella wiped a tear away, "I love Aemon." She said, "I don't deny it. I truly do."
"I know, sister." She said, "And no matter what I have done....I still love my Family. I care deeply for all of you, Daella. I truly do. That is why....I will serve Drakken faithfully....and when the time comes, he will grant me a wish....and I will wish for something that will benefit every one of us....."
As she said this, one of the Kingsguard approached them, "Princesses." He said, "We should go."
Daella looked at him, "What?"
"It appears there is a mob forming." The Knight said as he turned around, "The news of the King declaring the worship of the Trinity to be lawful was not something that many wanted to hear."
Outside of the Sept, many of the smallfolk were beginning to gather, angrily shouting at the Septas that were rushing towards the door.
"How could you let these cultists win!" a man exclaimed, "Didn't the gods claim they were going to protect us from the evil the Trinity does?!"
"Yes, all of you are liars!!!" another say
Viserra frowned, "What....?" She said softly, "What is going on....?"
"We need to take you to the carriage." the Kingsguard said, "Now. Before more gather and they block the path. Come...."
"Let us go."
