(Ellion's POV)
[The Next Day]
I was sitting down on a bench in the Secret Gardens, looking out into the distance, still processing what had just happened last night.
I fucked the Queen.
Even though I wanted to cuckold Aerys for being a mad and perverted piece of shit, I still found it surreal that I went through with it. I actually fucked Rhaella Targaryen, had my cock inside her pussy and all of that.
I couldn't believe it.
"Damn." That is all I could say
After fucking her for the time I promised, I quickly dressed Rhaella and escorted her back to her chambers. It was without a doubt one of the riskiest things I have ever done in my life; the possibility of being caught was high.
Using my Observation Haki the entire time didn't make it easier, I was a bit nervous about the whole ordeal. Eventually, I reached her chambers while she was in my arms, half-asleep; that hour was more than enough to leave her spent. I then laid her down in the bed and tucked her in, immediately leaving the room after leaving her there.
What's done is done; I fucked the Queen.
And now, here I was, still processing it.
Lady Genna, Lady Casanna, and Lady Joanna. They are all one thing, that much is true.
But The Queen is different. I stepped into something much greater than I can hope for. I could handle the other Lords easily if need be, but Aerys?
This is going to be a bit more difficult than I thought.
But I'll figure something out, I am sure.
I sighed, "Well....."
"Something on your mind?" I heard a voice say
I looked up to see King Aerys standing next to the bench, looking at me with a raised eyebrow. Despite still processing everything and feeling surreal about having sex with his wife, I was surprisingly composed, even in the moment I saw him.
I had to stay composed; this lunatic would figure something was wrong.
"Your Grace." I stood up, "Do you require something of me?"
He tilted his head, "Hm...." He said, "Did you fuck a servant the night prior?"
I shook my head, "No, Your Grace." I said, "Why do you ask?"
"No reason." He said, placing his hands behind his back, "Anyways, what is on your mind?"
"Not much." I said, "Did you need something?"
"Not in particular." He said, "I was taking a walk when I spotted you here. There was a strange look on your face, as if you had a bit of remorse."
"Oh." I said, "Well, pay it no mind."
"Good." He said with a slight smirk, "Because I might need your blade once more."
"What is the name?" I asked, straightening up
"I do not have a name." He said, "There is a rumor down in the City that a group of outlaws has made the Kingswood their territory. Nothing has been confirmed, but apparently, they are disappearing people who cross through there."
I nodded, "I see." I said, "And you wish for me to investigate it? I could ride down there and see what I could find."
"That would be most interesting." He said, crossing his arms, "But I would prefer it if you stay here when the other Houses arrive."
"Ah." I said, "I understand."
"Should it come to it, I will send you down there and shed blood." He said, "If they prove to be trouble to my vassal houses."
I nodded, "Of course."
He chuckled, "That is all." He turned around, "I will see you around."
************
I was walking down the hall when I spotted Rhaella standing next to Rhaegar. Immediately, my heart started beating faster when laying my eyes upon her.
She looked so beautiful; her side profile was simply divine. The way she looked at her Rhaegar, with motherly love and admiration, it was a beauty that I couldn't get over.
Rhaegar immediately spotted me as I hesitated in passing them, "Ser Ellion." He said, "A word."
Rhaella looked at me and blushed almost immediately, looking to the side in order to hide it. Rhaegar didn't notice this; his eyes were directly at me. The Queen took a step back, trying to hide her entire body from everything at the moment.
I reached them, "Yes, My Prince?"
He cleared his throat, "You are from the Riverlands, are you not?"
I nodded, "I am." I said, "I am a Rivers, after all."
"How acquainted are you with House Tully?" He asked, his arms crossed as he stood before me
I blinked, "N-Not that well acquainted, I am afraid." I said, "Why do you ask?"
"Ah, well, Lord Tully has sent an offering; a pick of either one of his daughters to wed." He said, "Quite bold, if you ask me."
"Oh." I said, "Well....."
"My Mother says that it would be worth considering. To build better connections, uniting the Realm in totality." He said, "Right, Mother?"
"Y-Yes...." Rhaella said softly, "Well, not House Tully, so to speak. But a Great House of The Realm, one that would worthy of the blood of the Dragon."
"That would be a tough one. I am afraid that I am not good when it comes to politics." I said, "But if I were to speak honestly, I wouldn't have the Riverlands in mind."
Rhaella looked at me, "And what would you say?"
Rhaegar raised his eyebrow, almost as if he was surprised by Rhaella's response.
I shrugged, "The North or Dorne." I said, "Dorne, because they have always been a bit rocky when it comes to alliances. Possibly House Martell?"
"Hm....." Rhaegar said, "And The North?"
"To unite the Realm completely and have the support of the Northerners." I said, "I don't know if House Stark has any daughters."
"I understand Lord Stark has one; Lyanna." Rhaella said, "I am not sure about that. She is rather young. Princess Elia Martell of Dorne is a bit closer in age to Rhaegar."
"It is not up to me." I shrugged,
"I have no say in this."
