(Drakken's POV)
I stood next to Viserra's bed, seeing that she had woken up, her eyes opening and looking right up at me.
"M-My Lord...." She said softly as she sat up slowly
I gently placed my hand on her shoulder, "There is no need to push yourself." I told her, "Rest."
"I....I am fine." She said as she gulped, "I.....I am a bit thirsty...."
I nodded and grabbed a cup of water I had prepared for her, handing it to her. She took it and took a couple of sips, placing her hand on her chest a she did so. After a few seconds she let out a light exhale and lowered the cup.
"Thank you..." She gave me a slight smile, "I appreciate that."
"Hm." I sat down on the edge of the bed and grabbed her hand, "It is no problem."
She looked a bit surprised by my touch, looking at my hand, "Is everything alright?" she asked, "With the Trinity? I hope.....I hope everything went well with the Ritual."
"It did." I told her, "Everything is going as planned. There is nothing for you to worry about."
She nodded, "I see...." She said as she looked down, "My Lord.....about....about us...what we've been doing up until now...."
"What about it?" I asked her
"It feels...wrong." She said softly, "That is how I feel about it.....it....It doesn't feel right."
"We've had this talk already, Viserra." I told her, "This pointless talk about moralities when it comes to indulging to our true desires. I know you've wanted to be loved, to be yearned, for your body to be wanted. It is in your nature, I know it."
"No." She shook her head, "I....all I want is to serve you."
"That is also true." I told her, "I can feel it, the way you feel about me. The way you look at me. I know the truth. You see me as the absolute power that I am. As the one true God of this world. And I have always appreciated that, Viserra. I have treated you well, haven't I? I have protected you. I have given you grace. You are well rewarded."
She nodded, "yes..." she said, "I will always be grateful for the way you treated me."
I leaned closer, "But I won't accept these lies." I told her, "You tell me that all you want is to serve me. But I know that's not the case. We've indulged ourselves, haven't we? We have experienced pleasure on the edge, have we not?"
She blushed slightly, "W-We have...."
"What is the problem with stepping over the edge? Hm?" I said as I leaned even closer, merely an inch from her face, "Is there a problem with allowing you to have what you desire?"
"I....." She started, "I am The Dragon Maiden....d-does the Trinity not need one....?"
"The Dragon Maiden cannot bed another Man. I am no Man." I told her, "I am a God. I am your God. Your title is a Symbol, one that will have a great meaning. We can make more Dragon Maidens, I can assure you that it won't be a problem."
I heard her heartbeat beating faster than usual as her body temperature began to rise up a bit more.
"H-How will we do that?" She asked softly
I patted her cheek as I took the cup out of her hand and placed it on the cupboard next to the bed.
"Dragon's Blood is not as scarce as one might think." I said as I leaned down and kissed her neck, "There's a reason why I haven't done any movements towards the East."
"Ahh..." She said as her body jumped up in surprise, "M-My Lord....wait...."
I gently ran my hand on her waist as I kept kissing her neck, feeling her warmth as she wrapped her arms around my neck.
"You will be the First Dragon Maiden." I told her as I groped her chest, "You will marry me, as a symbol of what that title means. It will make the others that follow that they have a chance at divinity, even if they don't."
"M-Marry you?" She asked
"Is that a problem?" I asked with a raised eyebrow, "That is what you want?"
She blushed, "I....."
I placed my hand on her chin, "You're very beautiful, Viserra." I told her, "A beauty that can only be rivaled by your sisters."
"Thank you, My Lord...." She said, "You flatter me."
"I want another child from Maegelle." I told her as I stood up, "I have asked her and she is considering it. My beautiful Maegelle.....I admit....out of all my wives, I am the most fond of her. I care about Mya....I care about Saera as well...and Daranne....."
"Y-Yes...." Viserra said as I looked at her, "I know about your true feelings. Regarding your wives, you show them affection in your own way. I know that you don't ignore them, you don't neglect them....."
"Hm..." I said, "My Maegelle....she is mine....my beautiful woman who has influenced me in more ways than I could imagine. One would say that the reason why House Drakkengard exists is because of her. Maegelle Drakkengard....the beautiful wife of Drakken, the God of War and Death. That is how History will remember her. A polar opposite of what I am; kind...gentle....serene.....I am glad Vaella is an exact image of her."
"She is precious, that niece of mine." Viserra said, "She is learning many things from myself and Maegelle."
"I want you, Viserra." I told her, "Over the years, I have taken mistresses and lovers, I admit. Jocelyn's urges have died down and I occasionally visit her. She is more than willing to lay with me. When I go and see my daughter at Dorne, Tyene welcomes me with open arms and her body remembers me. It is quite clear that my desire....my urges....it is hard to satisfy with one. That is why I want more. I have always wanted more. But now? I want you."
She blinked, "M-Me....."
"You." I said, "And it isn't because you're the most beautiful of Alysanne's daughter, rivaled by Saera, rivaled by Maegelle...no....it is because of your devotion. You have been so devoted to me, so faithful...so loyal....you have shown the Trinity that you truly believe. And ever since I met you.....ever since you converted.....I have felt that devotion. And lately.....I have been attracted by it. I want you, Viserra Targaryen. I want to make you mine; truly mine. I want you to be Viserra Drakkengard instead. Forsake the Targaryen name and become my wife."
She looked at me for several seconds, a bit surprised at the sudden declaration.
"I...." she said softly, "Well.....My Lord...."
"If you don't wish to bear my child, I won't force you." I told her, "I have plenty, if I am honest. I don't regret any of them, but they are too many."
She looked down, "This is so sudden..." she said, "I....I don't know what to say."
"You don't have to say anything." I told her, "Not now."
"I will await your answer."
