(Ellion's POV)
I exited the brothel, adjusting my collar as Rose was hugging my arm, "A wonderful time as always, Rose." I said with a chuckle, "Your girls sure do know how to please a man."
She smiled, kissing my cheek, "Well, we do it for you." She said, "We will always do our best for you~"
I reached for her ass and squeezed it, "Hm." I said, "I will visit you in a few days to learn what you've found out. Your task, that is."
She nodded, "Of course." She said, tucking her hair behind her ear, "As you wish."
I pulled away, making my way down the street as she stood at the entrance, watching me walk.
After a few minutes, I walked out of the Street of Silk and made my way towards the Red Keep. As I walked, I couldn't help but think about Elayna and the way she was acting with me. It was completely different than back at Lannisport.
I fucked her and the others, which I was more than sure were her daughters. I mean, the way she spoke about them, that's what it seemed like. I mean, all of them were grown women who were at the Masked Party, I don't know why she suddenly acts like she regrets everything. Something must've happened between Lannisport and now, for her to be acting like that.
The way she looked at me, there was a bit of disgust in her actions, and I didn't know why. Not only that, but the way she spoke to me was with a commanding tone. I don't know what that was about; it was all very strange. Well, I told Rose to investigate further for me. I will see what she can find out about Elayna and Eyla.
There was something familiar about Elayna, I don't know how to put it. I swear I have heard that name before, but I can't put my finger on it.
I looked up at the sky as I walked, "Hm...." I said, "I do wonder what it is all about. Elayna...."
The more I thought about it, the more confused I got; why would she act that way? I mean, there is no reason to think about it constantly when there is not much I could do about it. All I had to do is wait for what Rose can find out.
If I push things further like an idiot, I will make things worse. I'll let Rose do her thing and I should come back when she has information for me. That is probably the best course of action I can take, but I am quite intrigued about this. I want to know what her deal is, because I can't shake this feeling about her.
The desire to have her in my arms, to be in her bed. I want to be with Elayna so badly, but I don't know why.
Was it because I got rejected? Because of that, do I want more of her?
I don't know.
***********
I walked towards the main entrance of the Red Keep, seeing what looked like a convoy of carriages and horsemen standing guard. I looked at the banners, recognizing them to be House Hightower's banners.
"Oh." I said as I walked towards the front, "House Hightower."
As I reached the front, seeing a group of what I assumed were Lords, I caught a glimpse of a familiar face.
"Ser Ellion!" A firm and commanding voice reached my ears as I saw the pretty face of Lady Malora, "Come here!"
I raised an eyebrow, walking towards them as a man looked over to me, a bit confused by Malora's sudden demeanor.
"Lady Malora." I said, "So you have arrived in King's Landing."
Malora was standing next to someone I assumed was Lord Leyton Hightower; I believe I recognized him from the Tourney at Lannisport. He was looking at me with a confused expression, as if he didn't recognize me.
"Who is this?" Lord Leyton said, "Malora."
"This here is Ser Ellion, Father." Malora said as she stepped forward, giving me a slight smirk, "Do you not recognize the man who dismounted Ser Arthur Dayne?"
"Oh, that is true." Lord Leyton said, "Well met, Ser Ellion. My daughter has told me a lot about you."
I blinked, "Hm?"
"She is rather obsessed with the one who defeated The Sword of The Morning." He said, "Seems she desires to have you as her personal guard. She has not stopped whining about it."
"Father!" Malora exclaimed
"Hm....." I said, "Is that so?"
"Oh yes." Lord Leyton said, "She was even excited to come to the capital. We've come to discuss marriage proposals to His Grace, who so graciously accepted our presence. Seems he is rather curious about what House Hightower, along with the other Houses, have to offer. We are the first, I assume."
I looked around, "I would say so." I said, "I did hear from His Grace that other Houses are on their way."
"You are a Knight that is in servitude to House Targaryen, are you not?" He asked
I nodded, "Something like that."
"Well, Malora, my dear...." He said, looking at Malora, "The King himself claimed him as his guard, we cannot do much about that."
"Hmph." Malora said
She was giving me a lustful stare, one that Lord Leyton would recognize if he could see it on her face. Her eyes were staring right at me, stripping my clothes off my body. She wanted me badly, I could see it in her eyes.
She was crazed for me.
"Lady Malora." I said with a slight smile, "Worry not. So long as you are in King's Landing, I will do my best to ensure that you are safe. Mayhaps, you can have me as a temporary guard-"
"I want you permanently." Malora said
"Now, why would you say that?" Leyton asked, "The man is a bastard who became a knight. He comes from no noble houses."
"He is strong." Malora said with a scowl, "Father, do not speak such foolishness."
"I want his seed."
