"Now, now." Drakken said as he straightened up, "What should I do about this? Hmm....?"
"Give her to me." Mya said, "I want to hunt her down, riddling her body with arrows before I inevitable cut off her fingers and slit her throat. I want her, Lord Drakken! I want her to suffer!!!"
Drakken gestured at Mya, "See that?" He said with a slight smirk, "That's an angry mother. Surely, you would understand, right Alysanne?"
Alysanne looked down at Jeyne and then at Drakken, "Did it truly happen?" She asked, "Did she really try to....?"
"Do you truly think that Mya, of all people, would act this way if it were a lie?" Drakken asked, "Use your head for a second."
Alysanne looked at Mya, who was still aiming at Jeyne, "L-Lady Mya...." she said, "Look at me and tell me that you don't lie."
"I need not do anything." Mya said, not averting her gaze from Jeyne, "I speak the truth."
"Makes you wonder, right?" Drakken said as he placed his hands behind his back and began to pace back and forth, "That every time that my House comes to the city, there's always an incident. No wonder your sons don't like it when we visit, Jaehaerys....."
Jaehaerys narrowed his eyes, "I will not deny that." He said, "But...."
"But it is not we who cause the provocation, are we?" Drakken asked as he looked around, "It is.....those below us."
The crowd shifted nervously, watching as Lord Penrose and his daughter were on the floor, blood pooling around them, as their faces were pale. Lord Penrose's mouth was still sealed shut, his eyes were widened in fear and shock.
"It is almost...." Drakken continued, "As if the presence of a Drakkengard will always incur.....Chaos.....is it not?"
"D-Drakken...." Alysanne asked, "What are you....going....to do?"
Drakken stopped and looked at Jeyne Penrose, "Before I address the lowly Lords of the Realm, who demanded to speak to me...." He started, "I wanted to look at you for a few seconds before deciding your fate....and I can already tell one thing; You are very much like your father."
"What?" Jeyne managed, "What are you saying?"
"Surely, such predatory behavior must have been imprinted by someone else...." Drakken walked towards her, "And judging by the way this fat piece of shit defends you, I can only suspect that he does the same. You both prey on little boys, do you?"
Alysanne looked at Lord Penrose, "What....?" She said softly, "What are you saying, Drakken?"
"Ah....." Drakken said as he placed his hand on his chin, "I've heard whispers, about some Storm Lords fancying little boys....didn't think it would be this one.....and his daughter...."
"You.....you lie....." Jeyne said, "I would.....I did no such thi-"
She was cut off by the sound of Drakken catching an arrow in his hand right in front of her face, which caused her to jump.
"Calm down, my dear." Drakken said, "I am speaking."
"I will not have her lie to everyone...." Mya said, her eyes filled with rage, "She had your son in her grasp!! Are you going to-"
"Kill her?" Drakken cut her off before smirking, "What do you think? I am going to do just that. But before that, I will make her watch while I rip her father limb from limb, I will make her watch while I kill her betrothed, I will make her watch while I burn her mother, her sister, her brothers, and everyone she holds dear......"
"Drakken.....!" Jaehaerys said, knowing that he meant what he said, "Cease this...."
"It is so easy." Drakken leaned down to Jeyne, holding his hands over her head, "To kill someone as fragile as this.......to crush their skulls......it is as natural and simple as it is breathing. But she needs to break first....she needs to endure nothing but agony....nothing but torment......"
"Drakken...." Alysanne spoke up, "Please, h-hold off until after....we...."
"Before I do that!" Drakken said as he straightened up, "I suppose I should address the Lords that are present. Giving them a message is in order."
Suddenly, a pressure was released as a swirling black energy sprouted from Drakken's back. A loud and bellowing roar was heard as the black energy took the form of massive dragon wings. There was a loud gasp as screams filled the air; the Lords and Ladies present were pushed against the walls as a massive silver dragon suddenly appeared in the middle of the throne room, snarling viciously.
Alysanne was thrown to the floor by the pressure as the Kingsguard immediately rushed over to protect her. She looked up to see that the dragon resembled Silverwing, save for the glowing red eyes that shone brightly.
Drakken's eye were glowing a black veins appeared under them; his body was surrounded by a thick black aura. The black swirling energy was connected to his back, from which the dragon seemed to be coming out.
"I am No King." His Voice was deep and distorted, "I am No Lord. I am not someone whom you lot can demand to speak with. I am The God of War and Death....."
The Lords and Ladies present were all watching in horror as the dragon snarled, looking at them as it opened its maw, a bright glow appearing from its throat.
"Touch what is mine and you will break. Your lines will end, your lands will be covered in a sea of flames and ruin." Drakken said seriously, his voice shaking the air, "But should you join the Trinity, then you shall be treated well......so long as you follow the Tenets. But make no mistake, your place in the pecking order is far below me and mine. You value your peace? Your lives? Pray to the God of War and Death to keep it that way."
Suddenly, the dragon was siphoned into the black energy, which immediately retracted back into his body as the pressure stopped.
"Drakken....." Jaehaerys said
Drakken snapped his fingers, and Lord Penrose and his daughter disappeared.
"What?" Alysanne asked
"They're mine now." Drakken said, "We'll talk later. In order to prevent a war with House Drakkengard, all of you will do well to stay the fuck out of it. If House Penrose dares do anything about it....well....you should already know what happened to Sharp Point."
He turned around and walked towards Mya, who had lowered her bow, an angry look on her face.
"You should have let me kill her in front of them." Mya said
"Calm down, my dear." Drakken said softly as he patted her cheek, "I would have....but we need to give a message. And besides, do you truly think she'd get off that easily? She touched our son. Our boy."
"She deserves worse than mere death."
