Chapter 369 - Rumors In The East II

(Drakken's POV)

"Alright, you got all of him?" I asked Olyver who was standing next to a tree, "I didn't know you would actually scatter him that much." 

He nodded as some Knights were carrying boxes towards us, most of the were covered in dirt, "Yes, My Lord." He said, "It appears that the two boxes that we snuck in the North were frozen solid. Had to wait for them to thaw out." 

"Man, that must suck." I said with a smirk

"I must ask what the plan for this is." He said, "Do you think Vaegon will simply be happy about what happened?" 

"He won't remember." I said as I pointed my finger to my head, "I'm gonna do a little snip-snip in the memory, if you get what I mean." 

"Understood." He said before looking at the other men, "I think we're still waiting on two more." 

"Good." I said as I crossed my arms, "I would've liked to keep him there for much longer but it seems we're going to have to pull him out again." 

"I've gathered several Faith worshippers affiliated with the revolt." Olyver told me, "I will have them hanged later and blamed for this." 

"That's good." I said, "What is it you wanted to speak to me about?" 

"Maegor is still in Dorne, going around and destroying the Red Cult for you." He told me, "He has sent me letters, expressing his distaste for his current situation. He apparently demands for his reward already." 

"You tell him that he only gets what was promised when I say so." I said with a scowl, "Nobody demands anything from me. If he has a problem with that, then he should come speak to me about it. We'll see if it goes well for him...." 

"Of course." Olyver said, "I was wondering, however...." 

"What is it?" I asked him with a raised eyebrow

"I've been hearing unusual rumors in the East." He said, "Ever since Asshai was destroyed, it seems some places have been stirred. Almost as if the roaches have started scattering by moving the board they have been hiding under." 

"What rumors?" I replied, "First I am hearing about any rumors." 

"Valyrians." He said

"What about them?" I asked, "I know that after the Doom, besides the three houses here in Westeros, some Valyrians managed to survive and they founded their own families in the Free Cities. What of it?" 

"Not the kind of Valyrians I am hearing about." Olyver said, "But I will look into it, it is still vague." 

"If it is not concerning to the Trinity, there is no point in paying attention to it." I said, "There's no reason for to worry about shit like that, Olyver." 

"As you wish." He said

"Alright...." I clapped my hands, 

"Let's get this dumbass back together."

(Third Person POV)

[King's Landing, A Couple Days Later]

Alysanne opened the doors and walked inside the Small Council Room, a worried look on her face, "Jaehaerys!" She exclaimed, "Where is he?!" 

Jaehaerys was standing in front of Vaegon, who was sitting in a chair, hunched over while clutching his right hand. 

"He's here." The King said as he gestured at their son

Vaegon was shivering as his face was completely pale, saying nothing but staring at the table. 

"Vaegon!" Alysanne said as she rushed over and hugged her son tightly, "Oh, goodness....I am so happy to see you!!" 

She had tears in her eyes as she hugged her son tightly while he barely reacted to this. 

"Alysanne..." Jaehaerys started

Alysanne looked at Vaegon, wiping some sweat from his forehead, "Vaegon...." she said, "What happened? Where were you this entire time?" 

Vaegon was staring at the table, "I....." He started, "I....I don't remember....." 

"Oh, he died." Drakken's voice was heard

Alysanne immediately turned to see him sitting on the other side of them, leaning back on the chair, and with his legs on the table. 

"What?!" She exclaimed

"Found him on a ship that was on the way to Essos, possibly Volantis." Drakken said as his arms were crossed, "Don't know what they were doing to him, but by the time I got to him, he was already dead. Luckily for him, he wasn't dead long....about a minute or two.....so I pulled him back." 

Vaegon looked at him, "The....." He started, "The city.....I was there...the...you brought Maegor back..." 

Drakken looked at his nails, "Oh, a lot more has happened since then, Vaegon." He said, "You'll soon find out what." 

"What happened to those involved?" Jaehaerys asked

"Dead." He smirked, "I would've handed them over but they spat on me, so I couldn't really let them live. I also sunk a couple of ships that were related to the one that had them." 

He got up from his seat and began to walk over to them. 

Alysanne looked at Vaegon, "I am glad you are here....." 

"He's still missing his hand." Jaehaerys said seriously, "Vaegon, how are you feeling?" 

"It's cold....." Vaegon said softly, "I....I need warmth...." 

"We'll get your chambers nice and warm, don't worry." Alysanne said as she patted his cheek, "I've been so worried about you, you have no idea....." 

Drakken reached the two of them and leaned down to Alysanne's ear, "You owe me." He said with a menacing tone, "Don't fucking forget. The deal was to find him, and I did.....but the resurrection....that's extra." 

"You...." Alysanne shuddered as she looked up at him

Drakken straightened up, "Call the marriage off." He said as he looked at Jaehaerys, "Viserra is not marrying anyone. This is the only time I will say this calmly and with reason, Jaehaerys. Go through with it and blood will be shed. This is not a threat, that is a simple promise of what's to happen should you cross me." 

Jaehaerys narrowed his eyes, "Am I supposed to lock my daughters away and keep them from any other marriages simply because you say so?" He asked, "Drakken....." 

"I already told you." Drakken pointed at him, "You can do whatever you want with your other daughters, you are the King and their father, I don't care. But Viserra? She's off-limits! She is my Dragon Maiden, and she means more than you can ever fathom. You don't see the worth in that one, do you? I do. And she is mine, do you hear? I don't mean this in the way most might, Jaehaerys. It is not sexual, far from it. I am the God of War and Death, and she is a Dragon Maiden,a servant of the Trinity. She does not marry....and that is final." 

"Viserra is a daughter of House Targaryen...." Alysanne stood up, "She needs to marry someone.....for us to build alliances...to build a bond with House Stark-" 

"You are already allied with House Drakkengard!" Drakken scowled angrily, "What other fucking alliance do you need?! The Realm will not oppose you simply because of my House! And if you want to go through with this shit, not only will blood shed, but House Drakkengard will no longer be allied with you. So I am only going to say this again, you stubborn little brats....." 

"Viserra will NOT marry a man!"
