House of The Dragon-A God Amongst Men-Chapter 393: Tense Dragons II

(Third Person POV)

[The Red Keep]

Saera Targaryen walked down the hallway, looking around as several maids scurried past her. Besides her, Riktor and Sylas were walking with neutral looks on their faces. They had all flown over to the Capital on Dreamfyre, Saera was more than happy in riding with the boys.

Saera’s daughter, Astorias, did not want to ride on Dreamfyre; instead, she insisted that both Drakken and she take Grayle, the God of Devastation. Drakken was annoyed by this and accepted, quickly flying Grayle over to the capital, dropping both her and Mya off, and immediately flying back, teleporting to the Capital when it was done.

It was something that he was annoyed about, but he could not refuse his daughter.

Now, Saera was looking for her sister, Daella, as she wanted to speak with her.

"Where is she, I wonder..." Saera said as she walked, "That Daella...."

Sylas looked to the side, seeing the murals on the wall, "These paintings are nowhere near as big as Mother’s...." He said, "But they’re big."

"Yea, now that you mention it, you are right." Riktor said

"Boys, what would you like to do today?" Saera asked, "Do you wish to spend the day with Mama? Or would you want to fly to Dragonstone and see the dragons flying about?"

"I don’t care." Riktor said, "I don’t know why I am here in the first place. I wanted to stay and train in Harrenhal."

"Father told us we had to come." Sylas said, "I don’t see the problem."

"The problem is that this city stinks." Riktor said, "And I mean that literally. How can people live here?"

"I lived here." Saera said

"I am sorry about that." Riktor said seriously

Saera chuckled, "Ah, my sweet boy~" She said, "You may act cold but you are nothing but adorable to me. Mama loves you~"

"Hm....." Riktor said

"Saera..." A voice said

They all stopped to see that the Queen was standing in front of them, holding the hands of both Daenerys and Gael Targaryen. Alysanne was wearing a light blue dress with some silver embroidery while Gael wore a bright blue dress. Daenerys was wearing a pink dress with a flower stitched on the left side of it.

"Hello, Mother." Saera said, "It has been quite some time."

"Yes....it has....." Alysanne said as she looked at the boys, "W-Where is the girl? I don’t see her."

"Oh, Astorias? Ah, she’s with Mya." Saera said, "My daughter wanted to see the Blackwater, so she took her."

"Should’ve gone with them..." Riktor muttered fгeewebnovёl.com

Saera patted his head, "Don’t be so cruel, my Riktor~" She said, "Spend time with Mama~!"

Alysanne looked at Riktor, her face going a bit pale, "H-Hello, Lord Riktor.....Lord Sylas...." She said softly, "It is good to see you....."

Riktor looked away, showing no interest in the conversation.

"Hey, the Queen is speaking to you." Saera nudged him, "Be nice."

Riktor cleared his throat, "It is a pleasure to be in your presence, Your Grace." Riktor said as he bowed slightly, "Thank you for the hospitality."

"She is your grandmother because she is my mother." Saera said, "Show her som-"

"The boy and I are not related by blood, Saera." Alysanne cut her off, almost immediately, "There is no need to feed those notions in his head. I....."

Saera frowned, "Alright then...." She said, "Well....hm, Sylas, why haven’t you greeted the Queen, that is quite rude of-"

She stopped herself, seeing that Sylas had his eyes widened as he stared right at Daenerys Targaryen, the young girl who was standing next to the Queen.

There was something in his eyes, something that Saera immediately recognized.

"Fu~" Saera said with a smile, "Sylas.....that is my sister, you know...."

Sylas said nothing, his mouth was slightly agape.

Riktor nudged him with his elbow, "Close your mouth, fool."

Sylas snapped out of it, "Oh!" He said, "W-What was the question?"

"There was no question." Riktor said

"Oh, well...." Sylas said as he looked up at Saera, "Hey, who is that in the pink dress?"

"That is the Princess Daenerys Targaryen, my sister." Saera said, "I would say that she’s older.....but....hm, it is quite complicated."

Sylas nodded and then walked forwards to stand right in front of the Queen, looking right at Daenerys, "H-Hello...." He said with a bit of nervousness, "I am Sylas Drakkengard, Son of Drakken....."

Daenerys blinked, "Oh." She said softly, "H-Hello....."

Alysanne looked at this, "What is going on?"

Saera smiled, "I think he likes her....." She whispered to Riktor, "Right, Riktor?"

"I guess so." Riktor said, "He looks like an idiot right now."

Sylas opened his palm and a small golden flame sprouted above it, which startled Alysanne.

"W-What is this?" The Queen said

"Oh, no worries!" Saera said, "Just watch! It’s a beautiful trick!"

"I am Sylas Drakkengard." Sylas said as the flame began to twist, "Wielder of the Goldfyre, the Blessing of the God of War and Death.....and...."

Suddenly, the flame solidified itself into solid gold, taking the form of a small rose. Sylas then raised his hand up to his face and blew on it, causing the flower to release a bit of gold dust that disappeared in the air.

"Defuse"

Sylas then offered the golden rose to Daenerys, who was taken aback by this, "Here....." He said with a slight smile, "For you."

Daenerys blinked, "Me....?"

Sylas nodded, "Yes."

The Princess looked up at Alysanne, "May I, Mother?" She asked softly, "May I accept his gift?"

Alysanne looked at Sylas, "I...." She said before looking at Saera, "I don’t...."

Saera gave her an approving nod, silently telling her that there was no harm in this.

Alysanne then nodded at Daenerys, who reached for the flower.

"Thank you.....Lord Sylas." She said softly with a smile, "It is quite a beautiful gift."

Sylas nodded, "Yes...."

Saera crouched down to Riktor and leaned towards his ear, "He’s taken a liking to a Targaryen Princess." She whispered, "Reminds you of someone?"

"Like Father, Like son." Riktor muttered

"What about you? Do you want me to put in a good word for you? My sister Gael?" Saera nudged his arm, "Eh? Mama would do anything for you~"

"I’m fine." He said as he decided to walk past them, "I’m going to the training yard."

As he walked past the Queen, he gave Alysanne a serious glance, one that unsettled her to her bones.

Alysanne’s face was slightly pale and her breathing got heavier, "I...." She said softly, "G-Girls.....we should go to our chambers....."

Saera frowned, "What’s the matter, Mother?" She asked, "Is it Riktor? What did he do? I don’t think he meant to disrespect you. It’s just that he’s been very serious as of-"

"It’s nothing." Alysanne cut her off, "I....I am glad you are here, Saera. I will see you during dinner, if that is okay. Girls...."

The Queen walked away, pulling her daughters along with her. As they walked past Saera, Daenerys looked back at Sylas and gave him a slight smile while holding the gold rose in her hand.

Sylas walked up to Saera, "Daenerys, huh?" He said, "She’s...pretty."

"Hm?" Saera said with a raised eyebrow, "Of course she is."

"Where is Father?" Sylas asked, "I wish to ask him for something."

Saera smirked slightly, "Sylas, you’re not fooling anyone." She said with a chuckle,

"I know exactly what you want."
