House of The Dragon-A God Amongst Men-Chapter 215: Golden Hair

(Drakken's POV)

[A Few Weeks Later.]

"It appears that patience is what we need." I said to Daranne as I had her sit on my lap, "My beautiful golden muse."

I was sitting on my bed when I called Daranne over to my room. She had walked inside, wearing a nice yellow dress that complemented her golden hair. There was something about that hair of hers that I enjoyed looking at, even at close, like right now, as I had her in my lap.

"Oh?" She said softly, "My Lord. What has gotten into you?"

I leaned close and smelled her neck, "Nothing much." I said, "I desire to give attention to all my women."

"Even myself?" she asked, "Maegelle is with child, perhaps she needs the most attention."

I reached for my pouch, which was next to me and pulled out a dragon egg, it looked like it was made out of pure gold.

"Look at this." I showed Maegelle the egg, "Pretty, isn't it?"

"Oh!" She said with surprise, her emerald eyes lit up, "Amazing.....this....it is quite magnificent."

She took the egg and held it, admiring the shine of the golden shell. I simply held her by the waist as I leaned in and smelled her hair, running my free hand through her locks.

"It is for Sylas." I said, "I specifically made it for him."

"You modified the Dragon Eggs that we had stolen from King's Landing?" She asked as she looked at me, "I am surprised!"

I nodded, "The other two that are in stasis would not fit Sylas at all. But you wanted him to have something akin to Gold." I said with a smile, "I think I have come up with an ability that will fit him well, it will take time to develop. But....it is you who he should thank."

"Me? You are his Father, his god. You are bestowing him his powers..." She said softly, "It is you who will give him his Draconic Beast. Not me...."

"You gave him life." I said to her, "And you are the one came up with the idea."

She smiled as she looked at the egg, "Very well." She said, "This....thank you, My Lord."

"Hm." I said as I ran my fingers through her hair, "Do not thank me just yet. When the beast hatches and Sylas obtains his Blessing, you can thank me all you want then. If you get what I mean."

She blushed, "Of course."

I leaned in and kissed her shoulder, "You should thank Maegelle, however..." I said, "For having me this soft....soft enough to show you affection."

She looked at me, "That.....softness was there...." She said, "What she did was break the shell."

"Hm." I said, "There is a plan, Daranne. I don't know when, but there will be a time when Harrenhal will be used as bait."

"Bait?" She asked with a frown

I nodded, "Yes." I said, "I've gone through the plan with Mya. She is to stay while the rest of you relocate safely. Some will go to the Tower while the others will go to The Twins, with Jon. He has fortified the bridge to the point where nothing will get close. It is impossible to take it. As for the Tower, Olyver will keep you safe no matter what."

"I see..." She said, "But why Mya?"

"Mya is a Greenseer and a formidable fighter. She's the one who came up with this plan." I told her, "I intend to bait the Targaryen army to Harrenhal...they will try to take Maegelle and Saera back, and while I lure them in these halls, Mya will slaughter them all. And well....if Balerion decides to descend, I have a contingency for that."

She sighed, "I guess it is to be expected." She said softly, "Wars are terrifying. Sometimes they don't last, like a quick flickering flame.....while other times they last as long as a wildfire devouring an entire forest....."

I nodded, "It happens." I said, "The shortest war I have fought only lasted a single day in my world. Sol'Tyr descended upon the battlefield and decimated the three armies that had tried to employ me as their ultimate weapon."

She handed me the egg, "No matter who or what fights in a War....the one who ends up winning is you, The God of War." She said with a smile, "Did the people from your world ever understand that you were simply superior?"

"No disrespect, Daranne, my beautiful muse.....but this world is what I like to consider a backwater shithole." I said, "In my world, even the weakest city is significantly far superior to the Seven Kingdoms combined. Magic is rampant; even a lowly sorcerer can topple a Great House and their armies here. I don't do it because it is not part of my Great Plan."

"I see...." She said while blinking, "And even then, you were at the top?"

I nodded, "Oh yes." I said, "The God of War and Death."

"That is amazing." She leaned into me, "I would like to see how your world is...."

"Perhaps one day....I can let you in my memories...." I said as I patted her cheek, "And you can see the beauty of Terra."

She blushed, "I would like that."

"Perhaps....as a reward for giving me a daughter." I told her

"A-A Daughter?" She asked

"I would like to see....how a daughter with your beautiful golden hair and my red eyes would look? Would she be as beautiful as you? Or perhaps more?" I said with a smirk, "I am curious. Nevertheless, I want to see you be a Mother to a Daughter, Daranne."

"I do not deserve the honor." She said, "I barely think I am deserving of Sylas."

"You are." I told her, "Don't think otherwise."

"Well....if you wish it to be so..." Daranne said, "But if you do, can I at least wait until Maegelle gives birth? I intend to be in your bed while she is given space."

"Hm." I said, "Very well."

"You do know that you can still bed us while we are with child, though." She said with a smile, "You know that, right?"

"I know." I said with a chuckle, "But.....I don't want to."

"We have the desires, though." She said freēnovelkiss.com

"I am aware." I said, "Say, Daranne...."

"Yes, My Lord?" She asked

"If you go to the Tower." I told her, "Do not go near the Dark Shade, Daranne. Promise me that."

She blinked, "S-Sure." She said, "I never liked going there, regardless."

I gently grabbed her by the chin, "I am serious." I said with a serious tone, "Do not go there by any means. Promise me."

"I...I promise." She said softly, "My Lord, do not worry."

I let go of her, "Good...." I said as I gently ran my hand down her throat and to her chest, "Saera is satisfied for the night....I believe I can have you tonight...."

"Of course." She said softly, "You can have me at any time."

"I am and will always be yours."
