House of The Dragon-A God Amongst Men

Chapter 379: The Maiden's Fate



(Drakken's POV)

[Harrenhal]

"Alright..." I said as I entered Mya's room, making my way towards her couch, "It has been dealt with, the issue with the Wolves." 

As I sat down, I noticed that Maegelle was sitting next to Mya on the other couch, holding Vaella in her lap. I didn't think she would be here, but I don't mind. I was going to fuck Mya tonight after all so if Maegelle wants to join, I would definitely accept that. 

Maegelle was giving me a neutral look, "You went to speak to House Stark?" 

I nodded as I lay on the couch, "Yes." I said, "Nice talk, actually." 

Mya smiled slightly, "If it is your kind of talk, I don't think it is nice for the Starks." She said, "How did it go?" 

I looked at my nails, "If you want to know, it went really well." I said with a slight smirk, "Let's just say that everything was resolved without death." 

"What did you do?" Maegelle asked

"Papa....." I heard Vaella's sweet voice 

I glanced to the side, seeing as she was walking over to me. 

I chuckled as she crawled onto the couch and into my arms, "Come here, my girl." I said as I wrapped my arm around her, "Did you miss me?" 

"Yes." She said as she laid her head on my chest, "I did." 

"Drakken, what exactly happened?" Maegelle asked

"If you wish to know so badly, then I guess it won't hurt to tell you." I said, "The Young Alaric was so fired up about being betrothed to Viserra that he actually challenged me to a duel, haha...." 

"What??" She said as she stood up, "And did you...?" 

"I didn't kill the brat." I said, "I taught him a lesson. It was a proper duel, one that was overseen by the King and the boy's father. The deal was that if he landed a single blow on me, I would give him Viserra and many more rewards. Lord Stark accepted the deal." 

"And if you won?" Mya said, "Aside from keeping Viserra, of course." 

"Well, they would back off." I said as I felt Vaella nuzzling up to me, "And I cut his chest and had him on the ground before he could even react. Safe to say that he never stood a chance. I figure that the Starks would honor this agreement. I won the duel, one that I was never going to lose. And they lost the opportunity to ever have Viserra Targaryen...." 

"Viserra is your Dragon Maiden." Mya said, "She was never meant to be anyone's wife. Especially some Lord of The North." 

"But Viserra is still part of House Targaryen, not just the Dragon Maiden." Maegelle said, "Won't this cause a drift? How many Houses will continue to ask for her hand as she is a Princess who has not found a suitor yet? Won't this cause issues?" 

"If they are aware that she belongs to the Trinity, I don't think it would be a problem." Mya said, "But that is my opinion. There will be those who oppose The Trinity and will not care about Viserra's position, however...." 

"Right, that is my point." Maegelle said, "She is Targaryen. Her blood is still that of a Dragonrider, she can claim a dragon. Her children, should she have any...they can claim dragons.....that is very valuable...." 

"Viserra is valuable not because her blood is that of a dragonlord heritage." I said, "She is valuable because her blood is pure.....and rich with power.....As the Dragon Maiden, she is the catalyst for many great things for The Trinity." 

"Like what, Drakken?" Maegelle asked, "Viserra is my sister, and I am legitimately curious to know what kind of Fate you have planned for her." 

I looked at her with a smile, "She is to serve the Trinity." I said, "It is that simple." 

"Just that?" She asked

"Well...." I said as I patted Vaella's back gently, "Lord Stark said that if I had won that duel, I might as well have her as my wife, but that is really ridi-" 

"What?!" She cut me off, "Drakken, what is wrong with you?!" 

I looked at her, "What?" I said, "It was what he said, that-" 

"Those were Lord Stark's terms? His words exactly???" She asked with a scowl

"Yes." I nodded

"You fool!" She exclaimed, "That is what he expects you to do now! You accepted the terms and won the duel, you have to hold up your end of the deal!" 

"No, no...." I said as I sat up while holding Vaella in my arms, who I could tell was falling asleep, "That's not true. You see, I am Viserra's God. I can choose her fate as I see fit. She is the Dragon Maiden...let me repeat the last part. Maiden. She can't marry, nor can she bed any man. That is the whole point of that position!" 

Maegelle rubbed her temples, "You do understand...." she said softly, "That if word of this spreads out to your followers....they will expect the same thing.....Drakken, you aren't classified as a Man in this place! You are worshipped as the God you claim to be! Do you truly think that they won't worship Viserra as The Dragon Maiden, Fated to wed the Dragon God who grants everyone power?!" 

I blinked, "What in the fuck are you talking about?" 

"She has a point." Mya said as she placed her hand on her chin, "A maiden is one who has not been bedded, and the Dragon Maiden is not meant to be bedded by a man...." 

"No." I said, "A Maiden is one who has not been married. H-How can-.....well, the meaning can be different in this world....." 

"That is quite the loophole." Mya said while focused, "Did Ezra know of this? Why did he once tell me that Viserra would be a glorious gift to Lord Drakken? Did he foresee this? That sly fox....." 

Maegelle looked at me with a serious look, "This is serious, Drakken...." 

I chuckled, "W-Wait....you're not serious, are you?" I said, "Do you really think that I am going to actually marry Viserra and bed her as part of some ritual that will enhance the Trinity's power and-.....well, I'll be fucking damned...it is something I would do...." 

"If Ezra knew of this...he has the Greensight and it is quite enhanced....he gets the dreams quite frequently...." Mya said seriously, "I bet that he has already begun preaching it....He saw The Great War.....he sees it quite often...." 

"He mentioned it once....but I didn't want to know." I said seriously, "Did that damned Priest actually foresee this?" 

"He told me that Riktor would one day stand atop the ashes of a burned kingdom." Mya said, "It was quite chilling, the description he gave. But yes, Ezra might know of this....." 

Maegelle sighed, "How many of us Targaryen Daughters will it take for you to be satisfied?" She asked as she gave me a serious scowl, "Drakken....you are insatiable." 

"Look...." I said as I shook my head, "If it makes you feel better....I didn't even think of that...Why are you acting like this is my fault?" 

"I didn't actually plan this!"
