(Ellion's POV)
I walked into the same brothel that I had encountered Elayna in, seeing that it was as busy as always. I had my own share of fun in Rose's brothel, having ran a gauntlet and fucked nearly all of the women over there.
As I walked, I was approached by one of the women, "Hello Handsome~" she said with a smile, "Haven't seen you in a while, do you want to get a room?"
I shook my head, "Believe it or not, I'm quite spent already." I said, "I'm here for something else. I need to speak to Elayna."
She frowned, "You don't want to fuck?" She said, "That's disappointing. Oh well. Elayna is with a patron at the moment, you have to wait."
"Where?" I asked as I made my way to the stairs
"Second floor, but don't-" She started
"I'm going to speak to her." I cut her off
I walked up to the second floor, scouring the entire building with my Observation Haki. I then reached a door where I recognized the presence inside there; Elayna and another man.
I opened the door and walked in, seeing that she was sitting down next to some fat guy I didn't know. She jumped up and looked at me with a shocked expression. Her robe was pulled down and her breasts were exposed.
The man was already naked, a horrid sight to behold.
"Y-You...!!" She said as she stood up and began to fix her robe up, "What are you doing here?!"
The man scowled, "Who in the hells are you?!"
I pointed at the door, "Leave." I told him, "I need to speak to this one. Now."
The man glared at me, "Fuck no!" He said, "I'm paying good coin for this whore!! I will-"
I reached for his chin and clutched it hard, "I'm not asking you, you fat pig." I said with an annoyed tone, "Don't make me throw you out the fucking window."
"Ser Ellion!" She exclaimed, "Stop it!"
"Ser Ellion?!" The man said, "Fuck, you're the one they said killed 100 men!!"
"Want me to make it 101?" I asked
He shook his head, "I'll leave...."
I let go of him, "Get the fuck out of here." I said, pointing at Elayna, "You stay. We need to speak."
The man scrambled away, closing the door behind him as he exited the room.
Elayna was looking at me with a frown, "Are you interrupting my work?" She said, "Why? You have no right. I'm not going to service you, boy. I-....Please, leave."
I sat down on the bed, "I'm not going anywhere." I said, "I told you, we need to speak."
"I have nothing to say to you." She crossed her arms
"You're from the Riverlands? From Fairmarket?" I asked
She looked at me with surprise, "W-What?" She said, "How do you know?"
"I have my ways of learning things." I said, "You'd be surprised how easy it is to get information in this place."
She walked over to the side, grabbing a cup of wine, "What of it?" She asked, "I am from the Riverlands, so what?"
"You worked in a brothel there too." I said, "The one that was closed years ago."
"As I said, what of it?" She asked
I looked at her, the sight from behind was beautiful. To think that such a beautiful and mature woman would be shared around in a wretched place like this. She had such an allure to her, it was quite amazing.
It almost made me want her for myself.
"Did you ever meet a Knight known as Old Lyonel?" I asked her, "From what I understand and remember, I wager that he was in Fairmarket at the same time you were there."
She stopped, freezing completely as she had the cup in her hand. The way she did this so quickly and abruptly, it told me that she did know something.
"L-Lyonel....." She said softly
"Hm...." I said, "I take that as a yes."
She looked at me, "Old Lyonel." She said, "I did.....I did meet him at some point."
"Hm...." I tilted my head, "Is that so."
She gulped, "He did pay well." She said, her voice was shaky, "And his skill in be-"
"Don't lie." I said, "The Old Man was not like that. He would've never paid for sex, he was always against debauchery. It's the whole reason he left House Targaryen; he didn't agree with the King's demeanor. You're lying about him, hm?"
She stayed quiet, looking at me with nervous eyes.
"Judging by how you reacted when I spoke his name, you do in fact know him." I said as I crossed my arms, "The way your breathing patterns changed, your body language, and how much you're sweating. You're hiding something. You do know Old Lyonel...and something happened between the two of you."
"I don't know what you're speaking about." She said softly, stepping back
I stood up and walked over to her, towering over her, "I was an orphaned bastard." I said, "I was picked up by Old Lyonel in the Riverlands, near Fairmarket. The man raised and trained me. He taught me everything I know. He never told me the truth of how I came to be under his care."
She looked to the side, "You..." She said, stammering slightly, "W-What do you want from me?"
"The truth." I said, "What do you know of that? The timing seems too convenient. You were in Fairmarket and the brothel was shut down around the same time I was found. Then you moved to Lannisport and worked in a brothel there? What is up with that?"
"That is no business of yours." She said, "Please, leave me...."
I gently held her chin, having her look at me, "Look at me in the eyes." I said, "And tell me the damn truth."
She frowned, "You will not be able to handle the truth." She said softly, her voice was almost a whisper, full of guilt, "You won't.....so please...."
"I think I need to hear it regardless." I said, "Tell me what I want to know."
She gently pried away from my grip, "No." She said,
"Leave."
