House of The Dragon-A God Amongst Men-Chapter 147: Despair II

(Third Person POV)

"Y-You cannot do it, can you?" Alysanne asked Drakken as he walked down the hallway, "You cannot do it!"

Drakken stopped and looked at her, "Pardon?"

Alysanne had tears in her eyes, "You cannot bring them back." She said with a shaky voice, 'You cannot....you claim to be the God of Death....yet you cannot bring them back.....you claim you do it as punishment but while that is true, you are incapable of doing so....you do not have the power."

Drakken appeared in front of her, "Is that what you think?"

Alysanne stepped back, "Y-You do not have that power!" She said, "Y-You are powerless! You are no God!"

Drakken smirked, "I know what you are playing at." He said, "I won't fall for it. You intend to harm my ego and in order to prove you wrong, I would bring them back. It won't happen, Alysanne, give it up."

The Queen trembled, "W-Why do this?" She said softly, "What did they ever do to you?"

"Nothing." Drakken said, "But I didn't kill them."

"Y-You are a monster...." She said

"Hm." Drakken turned around, "You lot are as guilty as I am. I never claimed to be a Saint...but the way you put up a righteous front, it is disgusting. You are a monstrous as I am, Alysanne Targaryen. You just refuse to accept it."

"We....." She started

Maegelle walked over to Drakken, "My Lord...!" She said, "W-What are you going to do now?"

"Ah." Drakken said as he looked at her, "Let's go, Maegelle. The Duskguard is going to cause a little bit of chaos. It will be fun, we are going to destroy a bit of the city and then we'll go to the Stormlands and slaughter us some Essosi. I cannot wait!"

"No!" Alysanne walked over to Maegelle and grabbed her hand, "You will not take my daughter!"

"M-Mother...." Maegelle said

"Easy, Alysanne." Drakken frowned, "Maegelle is mine, do not forget."

"No! She is my daughter!" The Queen shouted

Drakken grabbed her hand and squeezed it, breaking it with ease, causing her to collapse to her knees.

"Drakken!" Maegelle grabbed his wrist, "No! Stop! Not my Mother!!"

Drakken's eyes were glowing bright red as he smirked, his sharp teeth were displaying, "Listen here, you little shit!!" He said, his voice distorted, "You don't get to tell me what to do. All of you fuckers, do not forget what I promised you, Alysanne. I want you and your Husband to be alive when that happens, when I do what I promised you! I want Jaehaerys to hear it when it happens!! I am above all of you, succumb to the despair you brought upon yourselves!"

"D-Drakken!!" Maegelle exclaimed

Drakken let go of Alysanne, her hand suddenly healed as Alysanne had tears falling down her cheeks.

"No...." She said, "Do not take her from me."

"Drakkkeeeeeennnn~~~~!!!!" a voice called out

Drakken frowned, "Shit..." He said as he straightened, "Just what I need."

He looked back to see Saera running up to him with a bright smile on her face.

"My beloved~~!!" Saera said brightly as she jumped into his arms, "My love!!"

Drakken shuddered, "Ugh..."

Saera smiled, "I am so happy that you are alive~!" She said, "I told Father that he was a fool! There was no way he could kill you! You orchestrated the whole thing? The Sword was all a lie???"

Drakken scowled, "Get off me."

"Oh, my beloved Drakken~" Saera said while blushing, "I am so wet right now, I want you to take me....in front of my mother and sister."

"S-Saera!" Maegelle exclaimed, "Control yourself!"

Drakken leaned down, "You are pissing me off." He said with an angry tone, "Fuck off."

"Ah~" She said while blushing even more, "I love it when you try to scare me~"

"Saera....." Alysanne sobbed

"What is it?" Saera frowned, "Why are you crying?"

"Your....your nephew is dead.....as is Jocelyn...." Alysanne said, "Do you not mourn your Family?"

"Oh." Saera said, "How sad...but....that is what you get when you try and anger a God...."

"Saera...." Maegelle said

Drakken gently pushed her away, "At least someone gets it." He said, "Hm, maybe I should take Saera to Harrenhal.....as punishment...."

"YES~!!!" Saera said joyously, "TAKE ME, PLEASE! I BEG YOU, I HAVE BEEN GOOD~!"

"Ugh...." Drakken scowled, "Nevermind. Make sure this one behaves, Alysanne."

"Please don't leave." Saera got on her knees and hugged his leg, "P-Please....it is so boring here....."

"Get on the balcony then." Drakken said, "In the manner of a few hours, there will be a spectacle to be seen. You see.....I did a little something....."

Saera looked at him, "What?"

"I healed Balerion." Drakken smirked

"What?!' both Maegelle and Alysanne exclaimed in unison

"And someone was absent....." Drakken said as he pulled away from Saera's grasp, "Someone who is dragonless...."

"You know where I am going with this, right?"

*******************

"I...." Aemon said as he was on his knees, "I cannot believe it.....no.....w-why.....?"

Jaehaerys had his hand on his shoulder, "I am so sorry, son...." He said, "I did not foresee this....."

"This...." Aemon said weakly, "This is all your fault....."

"Aemon...." Jaehaerys said

"I told you...." Aemon said as his head was hung, "I told you we should not have done it....but you did not listen....."

"Do not start." Jaehaerys let go of his shoulder and turned around, "You also held the Sword....you plunged it through his chest...."

"It was what he wanted me to do...." Aemon said as tears flowed down his cheek, his entire body trembling, "But if you did not start it.....all of this could have been avoided.....he would have brought them back....my wife....m-m-my boy....it hurts....it hurts so much...."

"I understand..." Jaehaerys said as he looked down, "But....I did it for the sake of-"

"I don't care!!!!" Aemon shouted, "What have you lost?! Your wife and children are alive, are they not?! I lost my wife and son!!!"

Jaehaerys scowled and looked at him, "I lost my sister!" He exclaimed, "I lost my grandson!! What do you mean what I have lost, Aemon?! Do not think of me as a heartless monster!! Do not think I am like Drakken!!"

Aemon stood up, "In what way are you not, Father?!" He shouted, "You made deals with that fiend, that devil!! Because of you, Maegelle is his property!! Because of you, Saera will be his!! Because of you, he has decided to torment our Family!! Because of you, everything has happened!!"

"I did nothing to him!" Jaehaerys exclaimed, "He simply looked at us and decided he did not like us! He is the Monster, not me!!"

"I-" Aemon started before choking up, "I was actually planning on marrying Rhaenys to his son....." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Jaehaerys narrowed his eyes, "What?"

"I considered his marriage proposal...." He said softly as he stumbled, "I.....if I had accepted.....m-maybe he would have kept Jocelyn and Aenys safe....I...."

"Do not say that...." Jaehaerys said, "Nothing good comes from deal-"

"YOU'VE DEALT WITH HIM!!!" Aemon shouted, "YOU!! NOT ME!!! YOU!!!!"

Before Jaehaerys could respond, there was a distant roar, one that neither of them have heard in a long time.

Jaehaerys widened his eyes, "W-What?" he said, "Wait....it cannot be....."

Aemon turned to the window, "T-That roar...." He said,

"B-Balerion...."
