(Ellion's POV)
The next day after making love to Queen Rhaella, I was at the balcony of a random window of the Keep. I had heard that King Aerys had dismissed the suspicions of Tywin and the other Lords being responsible for the attack and decided that it was too much of a coincidence.
He did summon me to ask if Templeton had said anything of use and I lied, saying that I didn't need let him speak and cut his head off. I didn't want to bring up the accusations in front of the Council and planned to inform him in secret.
Knowing him, he would appreciate my discretion.
As for Steffon Baratheon and Leyton Hightower, they have been rather distant and are giving me cold stares. I really don't care much about that, I've fucked Steffon's wife and Leyton's daughter. So whatever they think of me, I still stand above them.
I let out a sigh, "Will things get boring or is there going to be some excitement?" I asked aloud, "Whatever…."
I remembered that I had to go to Rose's brothel and asked her what she found out about that woman and her girls. I have been too preoccupied with having sex with these women that I totally forgot.
"Ill pass by the Street of Silk later today." I muttered
"And do what?" I had already sensed Malora's presence when I said that, "Why are you going there?"
I turned to look at her angry scowl, her hands on her hips as she looked at me. She looked so damn sexy when she was mad, it was arousing. I purposely said that aloud to see what her reaction would be and it was worth it.
I smirked, "What do you think?"
She stomped over, "You dare?!" She clutched my chin, "Huh?!"
"Yes." I nodded, "Anyways, I am actually going to retrieve some information. I won't fuck anyone there…..maybe."
She let go of me, "You can anger me sometimes." She said, "So, do you plan on leaving my bed empty?"
"Hm?" I said, "I have been busy."
"Tch…" she looked to the side, "Busy ignoring me."
"Relax." I said as I wrapped my arms around her waist, "You know I am starting to like being with you."
"So you say." She said, "But I am believing to think you prefer the others."
"Malora, didn't you say you wouldn't mind sharing?" I asked
"I did." She said, "But I require attention. And your seed."
I leaned down and kissed her lips, reaching for ass as well and squeezing it. She kissed me back, wrapping her arms around my nexk as she moaned into my lips.
"Hmm~" her moans were muffled
I pulled away and licked my lips, "You will have my attention." I said, "And about my seed."
"I don't need your cowardice." She said, "I need you to do your duty to me. Impregnate me and allow me to give you a beautiful child, one that will make you proud."
"Hm." I said, "Bold claim. One that you've been saying for a while."
"Soon, we'll see if that's true."
*******
I was sitting down at the gondola of the Secret Gardens, overlooking the Blackwater as the sun shone brightly above, casting a cool shadow under the roof.
There was nobody in the vicinity, I was completely alone.
Save fo an approaching presence that I recognized instantly.
I glanced to the side, seeing that Lady Joanna was walking up to me. She had a serene look on her face, her ethereal eyes always made me melt internally.
"My Lady." I said
She sat down next to me, "Ser Ellion." She said, looking around, "Are we completely alone?"
I had focused my Observation Haki, confirming that there were no other presences nearby that could be spying on us.
Except for another approaching one, which was quite the coincidence.
"In a way." I said, looking over to see Queen Rhaella walking up to us, "Her Grace is here."
"I asked her to meet us." Lady Joanna said, "It is important."
"Is that so?" I said, standing up as Rhaella reached us, "My Queen…"
"Don't stand, it is okay." Rhaella sat across from us, "Lady Joanna promised to keep this brief. We do not want to get spotted by our lonesome in broad daylight."
I sat down, "Very well."
Joanna cleared her throat, "Very well. I have a confession to make."
Rhaella looked at her, "I-Is that so?"
Joanna nodded, "I am aware of the two of you." She said softly, "Your relationship with each other."
I looked at her, "Huh?"
I knew she suspected something, but I was more surprised at how casual she stated it in front of the Queen.
Rhaella's face went pale, "I…."
"Worry not." Joanna said, "I will keep quiet, I give you my word. Rhaella, you and I are old friends, I trust we can keep each other's secrets."
Rhaella composed herself, "Y-Yes…." She said, "We can…."
Joanna nodded, "Ellion and I have had an affair as well." She said, "It is shameful to bring it up but it is best if we have this out there. To avoid inflicting pain on each other, we should admit that we have sinned."
Rhaella looked at her for a couple of seconds, "I…I see…" she said softly, "Joanna…."
Joanna looked at her, "This is your deepest secret, one I will aid in keeping it as it is." She grabbed my hand, "I am in love with Ellion, Rhaella. I hope you understand that."
Rhaella blushed and a flash of jealousy appeared on her face, her eyes looking at my hand.
I looked at Joanna, "My Lady…" I said, "You….are?"
She looked at me and nodded, "It is the truth."
"I might feel the same." Rhaella cleared her throat, "Ellion has shown me comfort like no other man has. He has a special place in my heart."
I looked at her, "Your Grace…"
"Then I have a proposition." Joanna said, "This is our greatest sin, so we must embrace it. We keep this between us, Rhaella…."
"Ellion should be ours to share."
