(Drakken's POV)
I walked up to Maegelle, who was sitting on her couch, watching Maelor play his lute on the ground. The soothing sound of the instrument's strings was filling the air. The boy was completely focused, his purple eye was on his hands which were carefully on the strings.
Maegelle had a warm smile on her face, enjoying the sound of the music. No matter how many times Maelor does this, she will not grow tired of it. She adores it when he plays music for her, it is almost like that is the whole point of his interest in being a musician. He doesn't care about anyone else, he just wants to play music for his Mother.
What a Mama's boy.
But Maegelle looks so beautiful, smiling at her son doing this for her. She feels loved, she feels appreciated. And I won't take that away from her.
I stood there, watching as Maelor kept playing, the sound of music entering my ears. It was quite nice if I had to admit it, my son's music. I didn't recognize the son as being from any bard that was from this world. I just assumed that he learned the songs from any singers who wander to Harrenhal.
Maegelle looked at me, "He is quite talented." She said softly, "Is he not?"
I let out an exhale as I placed my hands on my coat, "Yes, I suppose that is true." I said as Maelor slowed to a stop, "A musician, hm?"
Maelor looked at me, "Father...." He said, "My eye hurts."
I frowned, "Your red one?"
He nodded, "Yes."
I walked up to him and crouched down, "And you didn't tell your Mother?" I asked him, "Or do you want to be a tough guy so she doesn't worry?"
I moved his bangs out of the way and inspected his red eye, seeing that it still had a bit of ether leaking out. It was quite strange. I thought I had fixed it. Maybe it was too delicate for me to work on it.
"It goes away some of the times." He said
"Hm." I said
"I have some tea, for the pain." Maegelle stood up, "He can take that."
"Yes." I stood up, "Go and get some. From my study. Drink and rest, it's quite potent. I need to speak with your Mother."
He nodded and stood up, "Very well."
As he left, Maegelle looked at me, "What is it you needed to speak about?"
I looked at her, "I am going to make your sister my wife." I told her, "And I want you to know first."
She looked taken aback, "Oh." She said softly, "Well...that is fine."
"Are you sure?" I asked, "I don't want any tension."
She smiled, "Tension? You've been awfully touchy with each other for a long time." she said, "If there were any tension, it's the sexual one between the two of you."
I looked around, "I haven't seen Saera lately." I said, "I wonder if she's angry that Riktor left."
"She's spending time with the girls." Maegelle said, "What does Viserra think of this?"
I looked at her, "She wants it." I said, "But she doesn't want to admit it."
She sighed and walked up to me, grabbing my hand, "Whatever you think it is best....." She said, "I am sure that you have some sort of plan for the ultimate goal. And you want to marry her to fulfill it."
"You can say that." I said
"I don't want you to hurt her." She said, "Promise me at least that."
"That was never my intention." I told her
"The world is changing as I know it." She said softly, "Your Dragon is wandering the realm using a distorted version of my brother's corpse. I am afraid of what the future holds, Drakken. I know that you don't bring peace....."
I patted her cheek, "The future..." I said, "It will hold something special for all of you. Each and every one of you will be rewarded, mark my words. I make you dozens of promises, Maegelle.....and I intend to keep them. You have always been special, the opposite that attracted this Beast.....such a beautiful soul...how were we able to be compatible with each other.....?"
I pulled her in closer to me, feeling her warmth as she blushed. My hand was running down to her behind, the mere touch of it aroused me and I wanted to take her right here and now. She was so beautiful, so perfect.
She was mine.
Mine.
"I..." she said softly, "I have no idea. I.....I just love you.....I love you dearly, Drakken...."
"I know." I said softly as I leaned in and kissed her on the lips briefly, "You love me so much that you willingly gave me three children. And I want more, my Maegelle....give me one more. Give me The Aenar that I was promised."
"The Aenar?" She asked
"I want to see what this is about." I told her with a smile, "He is to be responsible for the destruction of an Essosi Settlement. Isn't that interesting?"
"I.....I don't know how I feel about that..." she said softly as I reached down and pulled her leg up while I kissed her neck, "D-Drakken....we shouldn't....not now...."
I pressed against her as I felt her nice and soft thigh, "Why not? I want you." I said as I kissed her cheek, "I want you so badly. I need to put a child in you, you're making me aroused....."
"It's not appropriate. We're just speaking about Viserra...." she chuckled
"I will marry her." I said, "And if she doesn't want to bear me a child, that is fine. You will bear it for her."
"How crude...." She chuckled as she looked at me with a smile, "Another one, Drakken? Are you really sure about this?"
I nodded, "Yes."
"You have so many." She said, "You need to go see Nymeria. She is the one I am worried about."
I sighed, "Fine." I said, "Let's go see her. I'll ask Saera if she wants to join in. Mya already went last time, so she'll stay here and watch the others."
She smiled, "Really? You mean it?"
I let go of her and let her compose herself, "Yes." I said, "Truth be told, I do want to see my daughter. We'll go and see her....."
"And we'll fuck right after."
