[King's Landing, a Few Days Later]
"Oh look at this belly…." Alyssa said as she gently patted Maegelle's belly, "So big and healthy, I am sure your child is…."
Maegelle smiled, "Yes, I am sure as well, sister." She said, "I am glad you were here to receive me, Alyssa…."
They were in Princess Alyssa's chambers, Maegelle and Vaella had been brought to the Red Keep by Drakken. Right after, Drakken said he would bring Saera and his sons to court, for an unknown reason. Maegelle was sitting down in a chair while Alyssa sat next to Vaella in the couch.
Alyssa smiled at her, "How could I not?" She asked, "My beloved sister and her daughter visiting for the first time in a long time? I could not miss it. And this one! She's so precious!"
Alyssa reached for Vaella, hugging her tightly.
Vaella smiled, "Ah, aunt…."
Alyssa kissed her on the head, "You're so beautiful, Vaella." She said, "I missed you plenty."
Vaella looked at her, "Really?"
"Yes." She said, "It gets boring here sometimes."
Maegelle nodded, "I understand." She said, "Even when riding dragons, there must be so much repetition."
Alyssa sighed, "Things have been very tense, Maegelle." She said, "You have no idea. Ever since Daella lost her child, both she and Aemon have been distant. I rarely see her and I do, she's quiet and somewhat cold. Aemon won't look at me in the eye and sometimes, he and Baelon argue to the point they don't speak anymore."
"Oh." Maegelle said softly, "I….I don't know what to say."
Alyssa smiled slightly, "Other than that, it's the usual." She said, "But yes, its been rather rough. I sympathize with Daella, I really do. It wounds me that she won't let anyone in, not anymore. Aemon blames Drakken, he does nothing but curse him."
Vaella looked at her, "What did Papa do?"
Alyssa looked at her and patted her head, "Oh, sweet one." She said with a sad smile, "Your father has done many things. But in this case, He has done nothing."
"Drakken…." Maegelle started, "He may be what he is now…..but there is a reason for that."
Alyssa looked at her, "What do you mean?" She asked, "I won't speak ill of him in front of Vaella, but you know what he is. You know what he's done. To us….our Family."
"I know what he's done for us." She said softly, "For you."
Alyssa nodded, "Yes, I am his servant." She said, "But…..it's complicated at the moment."
"Drakken….." Maegelle looked down, "Is a complicated individual…..and that is an understatement."
"Hm." Alyssa said, "I wonder what made him this way."
"You don't want to know." Maegelle told her, "You really don't."
"I miss Papa." Vaella said with a frown
"Oh, sweetheart." Maegelle said, "He will be here soon. He's bringing your brothers and sister."
"Okay…." Vaella walked up to her and hugged her lap
"Isn't she a sweetheart." Alyssa smiled, "So beautiful~"
Maegelle looked at her, "Are you going to stop with three or will you have more?" She asked, "Your sons are quite something, I must admit."
"Ah," Alyssa said as she looked down,
"Well, we are trying."
*******************
"I….." Vaegon started as he looked down, "I have nightmares….."
Drakken, who sat down across the table from him, raised his eyebrow.
"And what does that have to do with me?" He asked while shrugging, "So you have bad dreams, big deal."
Jaehaerys cleared his throat, "He believes it has something to do with being brought back to life." He said, "Like…..Daenerys and her loss of memory."
Drakken leaned back on his chair and placed his feet on the table, "No." he said, "It is different. Daenerys was long dead, her body cremated and her entire being was gone completely. Vaegon died, his body was still warm, and he was brought back right away. It is like going to sleep, in a way. His heart stopped, he died…..but it takes time for his soul and mind to fully disappear. I simply slapped it back on. If that makes sense. If it doesn't, I don't care."
Jaehaerys looked at Vaegon who was trembling a bit, "He doesn't remember much." He said, "Yet you say your resurrection didn't affect him."
"It shouldn't." Drakken said, "He must have suffered an injury. But its not my problem, Honestly. Why do you want to nag me? I came here so my wife can enjoy her time, don't fucking ruin it."
Vaegon looked at him, "My hand…." He raised the stump that was covered in bandages, "I want it back."
Drakken gave him a slight smirk, "What do you think I am going to say to that?" He said, "I don't give a shit about the hand you use to jerk off."
Jaehaerys cleared his throat, "Surely, we can come to an agreement." He said, "Drakken, I know you care about maintaining pea-"
"Ha!" Drakken laughed, "Funny. That is the furthest from the truth, Jaehaerys. This is not peace, this is the calm before the storm."
"I figured." Jaehaerys frowned, "I know about the dragon eggs. Reports have stated that many young dragons have been spotted in Dragonstone, ranging in the dozens. It has become quite dangerous."
"I wasn't trying to hide it." Drakken said, "Those are meant for myself, a little something I am doing."
"And the rumors in the East." Jaehaerys said, "The unsettling ones about surviving Valyrian families….."
Drakken looked at him, "What about them?"
"You wouldn't have anything to do with those, right?" Jaehaerys asked him, "Those rumors…."
Drakken smirked, "If I am behind them, what would you do about it?" He asked, "The idea that any of you would control dragons is nothing more than an illusion, Jaehaerys. Absolute Control, that is what I have. Not any white haired cunt with magic blood. Do you understand what I mean?"
Jaehaerys's face hardened but he didn't say anything, understanding the message.
Vaegon scowled, "M-My Hand!"
Drakken rolled his eyes, "Okay, let's make a deal for your stupid hand. I'll help you out, but you'll give something up for it." He said, "Your penis will do."
"What?!" Vaegon exclaimed
Drakken smirked, "A little castration for a hand growing back." He said,
"Trade your cock for your hand."
