Chapter 441: 89 A.C. II

(Third Person POV)

[The Following Day]

Viserra Targaryen walked inside her chambers, where Drakken was waiting for her, sitting on a table as he held a small bag in his hand.

"You’re late." He said seriously, "I told you to come meet me in your chambers around an hour ago."

"I apologize." She said softly as she reached the table, "I was with the Princess Vaella and the young lord Maelor."

"Hm." Drakken said as he had a small tray in front of him, "Here. One of the latest batches."

He opened the bag and emptied its contents, a mixture of red and blue dust poured into the tray.

"Interesting." She said, "Did they mix it? Oh, that pungent scent...."

Drakken nodded, "Seems that the Dornish are trying to get innovative. Ser Horrace allowed for the extraction of mixed dusts." He said, "The effects are quite interesting. Powerful painkillers that could prove to be addictive."

"I see." Viserra said

"When we go to the Capital, I want you to preach to the people not take this." Drakken told her, "It will not have good effects if they take the Dusts in its pure form. If they wish to use it as painkillers, they should alchemically mix them with other forms of ingestion."

"Of course." She said, "What does it do exactly?"

"It shuts off the nervous system completely as it disables any pain." Drakken said, "But in doing so, it might shut off any function of the brain. What an accidental effect. There was an accident that resulted in the mixture of both Dusts, and we got this."

"Isn’t it like the Golden Fragance?" Viserra asked

"No." Drakken said, "That acts as a soothing agent. This is much more potent and dangerous. We can’t allow the regular people to take this. I don’t want anything like this to get out of hand."

"I will handle it." she said

Drakken noticed a bruise on her hand, "What’s this?" He grabbed her hand, "What happened to you?"

"Oh, an accident." She said with a nervous smile, "A box fell on it earlier. It’s nothing."

Drakken gently rubbed the bruise, "I cannot have you get hurt, Viserra." He said seriously, "Do you have any idea how much you mean to me? You’ve single-handedly gotten so many people to join the Trinity in the past year alone. You’re quite important."

"Thank you, My Lord." Viserra said

Drakken looked at her, a serious look on his face as he reached for her cheek, patting it, "You’ve grown quite a bit." He said, "You were once a young girl, eager to learn the truth of this God who sits in front of you."

"Yes...." She said softly, feeling the touch of his hand, "I was.....it’s interesting how that works....ever since that day, a lot has happened. You took my sister and impregnated her. And now your daughters are 4 years of age."

"Hm..." Drakken said, "Do you not know how envious the Lords of the Realm are of me? To have the most beautiful of Alysanne’s daughters in my castle, still a maiden? I love the fact that it kills them inside. I want them to do something about it, I want the trivial challenge. I want to tell them that you belong to nobody but me."

"My Lord...." Viserra’s voice was soft and soothing, her eyes closed slowly as he breath became a bit heavier by the second, "I....."

"You’ve been very loyal to me." Drakken told her, "I will always appreciate that...."

She leaned in closer to her, "Yes...."

"Am I interrupting something?" Mya said as she stood there, suddenly appearing in the doorway

"L-Lady Mya!" Viserra said, flustered and stepping away, "I am sorry, I got carried away."

Mya walked up to Drakken and sat on his lap, "This here is not just a god, Viserra." She said, "He is my husband. As well as your sisters’. And sometimes, we get a bit envious. He has been giving Jocelyn a lot of attention as of late. Tyene Martell as well. What do you think we will say when we find out that the two of you are doing things behind our backs?"

"My Lady...." Viserra said, a bit of shame in her voice, "That was no intention of mine. I....the fault is mine. I have been letting myself get caught up in my sins. I should not be doing this, I am the Dragon Maiden."

"Hm." Mya said, "You are no longer a girl, Viserra. You are Ten and Eight now. The same age that Lord Drakken lusted after Maegelle. The same age in which he took Saera. It is only natural if you desire to have him take you as well. But you should be careful, you do not want those desires to interfere with your duties."

"Jocelyn is slowing down her desires as of later." Drakken spoke up, "She wishes to spend time with her girls more, so she has asked me to ease our union as of late."

"And you divert your lust towards this one?" Mya asked, "Do you not think I can handle it? My Lord, I am offended."

"I am doing no such thing." Drakken frowned, "I am merely expressing my gratitude to her. She is quite essential to The Trinity."

"Hm." Mya said, "Very well."

Viserra nodded and bowed slightly, "I apologize for any offense." She said softly, "Lord Drakken wishes to show me the new product from Dorne."

"Oh." Mya said, "Yes, that. I will handle that, Lord Drakken. Don’t worry about it. By the way, have you seen Maelor’s behavior as of late?"

Drakken looked at her, "No."

"It’s interesting." Mya said with a slight smile, "You should observe him."

"I should." Drakken said, "He usually appears next to me out of nowhere, just standing there menacingly. He’s quite the enigma, that boy of mine."

Viserra smiled, "He’s quite adorable, if I may speak my mind." She said, "Maekar too. He tries so hard to be like his brothers, but he fails at being serious."

"Hm..." Drakken said, "I am curious to see this about Maelor. Where are they?"

"Taking their usual naps." Mya said with a chuckle

"Very well." Drakken said, "When they’re playing about, we’ll see what he’s about."

"That unusual boy."
