Stephen Baratheon POV
"You'll be staying in this room for tonight. It belongs to Asha Greyjoy, so please avoid touching any of her personal belongings. Tomorrow, we'll arrange something more permanent for you," Mel's voice reached his sensitive ears as he waited on her bed, anticipating her return."
He heard Missandei thanking Mel before she closed the door. Then the sound of footsteps as Mel came closer and closer until she was finally standing outside the door.
She entered the room and closed the door behind her, her voluptuous curves being highlighted by the burning orange of the fireplace.
Silently, she walked over to him, her hips swaying from side to side as she straddled his lap. The sweet scent of her fragrance enveloped him as she pulled him close to her bosom.
He hugged her slender waist and nuzzled his face into the softness of her cleavage, breathing in her aroma. They stayed like that for a long moment before his arm slipped down to her soft ass cheeks.
Mel slapped his arm away before it could reach its destination and he stared at her in surprise as she made a tutting noise.
"You're a cruel master, my lord," Mel whispered to him, the warmth of her core gently grinding against his lap. "Leaving me alone for months, only to return with another girl and asking me to make arrangements for her. That's unkind of you."
He paused and stared at her. "I thought that you didn't mind me having other women?"
After all, wasn't that how Waifu Catalog worked?
"I don't. But it's been a while since we were last together," she said with a sigh. "I don't want to be presumptuous, but is it wrong for me to hope for some alone time with you?"
His lips went dry as he tried to found words for a rebuttal, only to realise that he didn't have any. He had indeed wronged her. He repeatedly entrusted her with managing his lands and affairs, only to wander off and pursue his own interests. To make matters worse, he didn't even bring her any gifts upon his return. He had taken her for granted far too much.
He let out a sigh. "You're right, Mel. I haven't been cherishing you as much as I should have. Please forgive me."
"No," Mel responded, and he blinked in surprise once more.
"No?"
"No." Mel said as she pushed him down into the bed and begin gyrating faster over his lap. She took his arms and placed them on her hips. "If you want to apologise, then don't say it. Show me through your actions."
'She has become bolder in his absence. More confident in their relationship.' The thought made him smile inwardly. He liked his women confident. And he liked this new attitude of Mel.
He believed that if someone wanted something, they should ask for it rather than keeping it to themselves and allowing resentment to build up.
Though he wondered if he was taking anyone else in his family for granted. Maybe he should give some more respect to Tyene. And provide the ship he'd promised to Asha. And spend more time with his mother and sister once he returns. And write more to his father.
…he really needed to step up his game in his relationships.
He didn't want to end up being the kind of man who regrets not spending more time with his family in his deathbed.
"I will make it up to you Mel." He promised and watched as she smiled at him.
"I believe you, my lord," she said before shadows rose from the dark corners of the room and tore his clothes to shreds, leaving him naked.
As her hips settled against his searing, hard cock, he could sense Mel's arousal skyrocket. Though her panties had become wet with arousal and her breathing had become heavy, her actions remained elegant. Calmly, she pushed her panty to the side and guided his cock up into her dripping womanhood.
"Now, make it up to me for the lost time." Mel ordered in a commanding tone before she sank down on his cock.
Mel moaned at the sensation of him being inside her once again, and he immediately sent both of them to the empty ID, lest she wake up the entire castle.
They remained joined at the hip for a few seconds, and he relished in the feeling of her tight, velvety walls pressing hard against his thick member. The heat of her insides was like a furnace, and if he hadn't spent the last two days with his other three girls, then he would've cum right then and there.
With her hands pressed against his chest, Mel rose up from his lap. His member slipped out of her hole, one inch at a time, until only the head rested inside her.
Then he seized hold of her hips and forcefully slammed her down onto his lap, plunging deep inside her as his woman moaned in ecstasy.
"Oh lord~ I've missed this." She screamed as he gripped her firm cheeks, kneading them as his member was milked by her tight cunt.
As he captured Mel's lips with his own, she wrapped her arms around the back of his neck and deepened the kiss. He lifted her up, and she took this opportunity to wrap her shaky legs around him before he lowered her back down onto his member.
Her soft mounds pressed against his chest, as he continued his movements, becoming faster and faster as his length pierced deep inside her again and again, make the woman quiver in his arms. Her breaths were fast and heavy as she broke the kiss and stared into his eyes.
Strands of red hair fell over her face, sticking to her face due to all the sweat as he bounced her over his lap. Mel seemed lost in the pleasure, and he mused at how she looked even more beautiful like this than her usual proper and pristine appearance.
He kissed her again, his tongue parting her lips and entering her mouth. They played a game of tug and war as he slipped a finger inside her asshole.
"Ohhh… my lord." Mel moaned as she broke the kiss and hugged him tightly, her lips coming to rest near his ears. Her voice was filled with desire as she whispered "More, please."
He nibbled on her tender neck, intending to leave love marks all over her body as his thrusts grew faster and faster, causing Mel to moan louder. He continued to thrust into her relentlessly before using Shaper to enhance her sensitivity. Mel's back arched as she threw her head back and screamed in ecstasy."
He trailed a series of kisses down her chin before he went down and sucked on her bosom. He moved forward and pressed her against the cold, hard wall as he continued to thrust against her until the pleasure became too much for her. Mel's nails dug into his body as her legs shuddered, and she released a deluge of feminine juices onto his trousers.
He felt his own pleasure building up from the sex but he held himself back as he threw Mel on the bed and climbed on top of her.
He wanted to make up for taking Mel for granted. He was determined to give her a night that she would never forget.
Mel's legs were still shuddering from the intensity of the orgasm when he raised her legs and pushed them onto his shoulders.
He then leaned over her, bending her in half as he took the mating press position and lined himself up against her arsehole.
"I love you Mel." He told her as he removed a strand from her face and pecked her lips.
Mel's eyes focused onto him with some difficulty, her breath still fast and heavy as she smiled. "I love you too, my lord."
He gave a soft smile and sank into her hot depts and groaned from the tight grip of her asshole while Mel let out a shuddering moan.
He pounded her asshole until she came once again. Then he turned around and took her from behind. Then in a full nelson against the mirror. Then against the wall. And then over the chair.
He fucked her for hours deep into the night, her enhanced Vitality being able to keep up with him, abit with slight difficulty, before he finally allowed himself to cum inside her as well.
He picked up the insensate woman and cleaned her up before taking her to the bathtub at the corner of her room.
He filled the bathtub with water using his Inventory and heated it up using his Fire Magic. Although he wasn't as skilled as Mel in Fire Magic, he was proficient enough to warm up the water.
Afterwards, he settled into the tub and pulled Mel close to him, her back resting against his chest as she let out a contented sigh.
They remained in that position for a while until Mel eventually came down from the euphoria of their lovemaking and snuggled up to him. He used the warm water to wash her, feeling a twinge of remorse over the red love marks he had left on her skin.
Eventually, Mel spoke up in a faint voice and asked, "My lord, shall we retire to the bed?" He nodded in response, sensing the exhaustion in her tone.
He lifted her up and used his Fire magic to dry them both off before taking her to the bed."
He recalled that he needed to discuss the matter of Dragonstone during his absence and disclose the bounty he had discovered in Valyria to her. However, she was in no shape to converse with him presently, and he didn't want to impose upon her.
Having to wait for another day before returning to his ship was not a problem for him. He was fine with it, knowing that Asha, Tyene, and Sarella could easily wait another day before he rejoined them.
With that thought, he covered the both of them with a blanket and pulled her close to him before they fell asleep.
—
Next day.
He and Mel laid in bed and cuddled with one another.
In the morning, Mel had departed from the room to assist in settling Missandei into her new quarters and complete some crucial errands for her. After notifying everyone that she would be unavailable for the remainder of the day, she returned to spend the rest of the day with him.
Now though, he was curious about something that he had sensed in the room last night but had decided against inquiring about due to the mood back then.
"Mel?" He asked the woman who was currently making slow circles on his chest with her fingers.
"My lord?"
"Why do you have a chest full of skulls in your room?" he inquired, confident that Mel was not engaged in any human sacrifices, as her Gamer System made such actions unnecessary. Moreover, he had explicitly instructed her not to engage in any such activities. And Waifu Catalog ensured that she obeyed his direct commands.
He loved his Mel. But he hasn't forgotten who she was, or what she would've done to his family had he not been here.
"Oh, that? That would be my colleagues." Mel said nonchalantly, as if there was nothing wrong in that sentence.
"Your… colleagues?"
"Yes. My colleagues from Asshai."
"What were your colleagues from Asshai doing here?"
"It seems as if my fellow Red Priests were not the only ones who received visions of you. The Warlocks, mages, Shadowbinder, Bloodbinders, Necromancers and other such magic practitioners from Asshai also received similar visions. And your powerful magical abilities proved to be an irresistible temptation to some of them."
"So, you're saying that they came here to… what. Hunt me?"
"Something like that. When the first of them came into the island, they claimed that they're here to become young, like me. So I allowed them to live in a remote location within the island." Mel said and shook her head. "But as more and more of them came, I became more and more suspicious. And it wasn't long before I learned of their plan to capture you and use your large magical reserve for themselves."
He chuckled. "I wouldn't mind seeing them try. I doubt they could have posed any real threat to me. However, the situation would become problematic if they decided to hold my family hostage."
"That was one of their plans, yes. Thus, I gathered them for a dinner and then, using my Shadow Scythe spell, removed all their heads at once." Mel said and then quirked her lips. "It was surprisingly easy to kill them."
"And I thank you for that. Without you, my family would've definitely been in danger." He leaned down and planted a kiss on her forehead. "It seems like I owe you yet another debt."
She then took his hand and placed it over her breast, giving him a suggestive look. "You know exactly how you can repay those debts," she teased.
He squeezed her breasts and Mel moaned softly. Then, he lifted her chin and kissed her lips passionately. As they pulled apart, he traced her red lips with his fingers and said, "I think it's time for us to get down to business."
Mel let out a sigh at his words and reluctantly nodded. "Yes, you're right. I wasn't able to reach you with my glass candle while you were in Valyria, so I do need to update you on what happened here during the last moon."
"Feel free to start whenever you're ready." He said "And once you're done, I'll show you all the treasures I found in Valyria."
Maybe gifting her some of those valuable jewelries would help him earn her forgiveness.
"You found a lot of treasures in those ruins?" Mel asked curiously and he grinned.
"Indeed. In fact, I found so many treasures there that I'm probably the wealthiest man in the world at the moment," he stated with pride, watching Mel do a double take at his words with some amusement.
"Really?" She asked as she sat up in bed.
"Yes, that's right. And I also came across four petrified dragon eggs that can still be hatched. Along with the two dragon eggs I found in Dragonmont, and the three dragon eggs you acquired from your colleagues in Asshai, we now possess a total of nine dragon eggs that can be hatched into baby dragons," he revealed.
"We only have one dragon rider though." Mel pointed out and he smiled.
"Do we?" He asked as he took out a vial filled with a red coloured liquid from his Inventory.
"And whose blood is that?" Mel asked.
"Daenerys Targaryen. I obtained it from her while she was asleep, along with her tissue and hair samples."
"And do you truly believe that these things will be sufficient to turn someone into a dragon rider?" Mel asked skeptically, to which he simply shrugged in response.
"I cannot be certain until I conduct some tests. However, if successful, I will be able to transform any of my women into dragon riders," he explained.
"I see." Mel said before she let out a disbelieving chuckle and gave him a seductive glance. "Am I among one of those lucky few who will have the opportunity to become a dragon rider?"
"You'll be the first one." He promised her before deciding to move on to the main topic. "Now. Tell me about how the situation has been in Dragonstone."
Mel nodded and retrieved a list from under the bed. "The most pressing matter that requires your attention is the surge in trade and the number of ships coming into Dragonstone due to the trade agreements you made with various houses in the Stormlands, Dorne, and Reach. If this trend continues, we may need to consider expanding both the port and the port town once again."
"I see." He said, not surprised by this at all. The Dragonstone Port might have become larger since when he first took charge of it, but it was still a rather small port in the grand scheme of things. "What else?"
"The mango, pineapple and apple trees have yielded their first batch of fruits. I've already distributed crates of them to major and minor Houses in the Crownlands, and some of the coastal Houses in the Stormlands. The response has been positive, and many have expressed interest in buying more. Given the far superior taste and quality of your fruits, I expect their price to rise significantly in the near future."
He hummed. "What about the artificial lake I asked you to build?"
"The lake project is progressing well. The workers have excavated a sufficiently large area, and are currently filling it with clay as you instructed. It should be completed in another moon." Mel said. "Additionally, we've also received another Magister who has come here with his wife to ask for your blessing. It seems that his wife barely survived her last childbirth and has grown rather weak since then."
"I see… I assume you've informed him about the fee for my blessings?"
"I have. And the magister has already submitted half of it, while the other half is waiting at the Iron Bank."
"And how bad is his wife's condition."
"It's not critical. She should be able to live a year or two more without your intervention."
"Then I'll heal her once I return from Kings Landing." He said. "What else?"
"Ser Lucerys Velaryon has finally managed to create a paper that is not abysmal in quality." Mel said. "It is still not up to the standard you described. But I believe that he is close now."
He smiled. "hat's fantastic news. If he needs more funding, provide it. And see if you can find out what kind of reward he might appreciate. I would have to prepare a suitable reward for him if he succeeded in this venture so quickly."
"It'll be done, my lord." Mel said with a bow before she went back to the list. "Next in the line is…"
—
He took out a large chest full of Valyrian trinkets and put it in front of Mel. The last chest among all the treasures he'd found in Valyria.
Mel stared at all the gold, jewellery, dragon bones, Valyrian steel and other treasures in front of her in abject shock.
When he brought out a dozen chests full of gold, her jaw had dropped. As he revealed even more chests filled with jewellery and other valuables, her eyes widened. But when he displayed the amount of Valyrian Steel he had acquired from Old Valyria, she went silent.
"This amount of Steel…" Mel murmured as she picked up one of the Valyrian Steel coins from the chest. "It is more than enough to create an entire suit of armour for you. No… considering how light Valyrian Steel is, this should be enough for two full suits of armour."
"Unnecessary," he informed her before pressing the Equip button in his Inventory. Mel stood rooted to the spot, gaping with her mouth wide open, as a Valyrian suit of armour materialised, replacing his clothes in an instant.
The Valyrian armour did not make him Invincible, as he'd hoped. But it did give him a defence of 340,000.
Taking into account that his total HP was merely 14,000, the amount was staggering. And considering the Gamer System's full protectiveness when donning an armour... he could probably survive a point-blank nuclear explosion.
Meaning that if he wore this armour and fought the Cannibal once again, the titanic dragon won't even be able to put a single scratch on him.
In fact, he very much doubted that any Tier 6 character would ever be able to harm him 'physically' while he is wearing this armour. In fact, many of the Tier 7 characters and even some of the Tier 8 characters out there would likely struggle to inflict any significant damage on him.
Yes, this armour was jut that much bullshit.
It's unfortunate that he couldn't uncover the secret of crafting Valyrian steel in Old Valyria. Realistically, he didn't have high hopes of discovering the techniques since the skill of forging Valyrian steel was a closely guarded secret, even among the inhabitants of Old Valyria. The knowledge was probably only passed down from the master blacksmith to their apprentice. Nevertheless, it was still disheartening.
Though... he wondered if he'll be able to learn how to create Valyrian Steel on his own with his Gamer System if he started Smithing.
As he rubbed his chin, he pondered whether the effort would be worth it. To attain the level of Smithing skill required to craft an item of Valyrian Steel's caliber would demand thousands, if not tens of thousands, of hours of serious dedication.
That's years of hard work, if not an entire decade.
However, he couldn't help but imagine how impressive it would be if he could provide each of his beloved warrior waifus and children with a suit of armour made from Valyrian Steel.
Hm… this is definitely something that he should look into once he has some time.
Mel's urgent voice brought him out of his thoughts as she shook him, her eyes still wide in shock. "My lord!" she exclaimed, "you must not reveal this armour to anyone until you ascend to the throne of Westeros, even during times of war. Entire kingdoms would go to war to obtain it."
Her words snapped him back to reality, and he nodded in agreement. "You're right. As much as I appreciate this armour, it's currently more of a liability than an asset. Don't worry, I have no intention of showing it to anyone anytime soon."
Upon hearing his words, Mel breathed a sigh of relief before turning her gaze towards the remaining treasure in the room. "I have never seen such an immense amount of wealth in one place in my entire life," she murmured, shaking her head in disbelief. "When you first told me that you had become the wealthiest man in the world, I wasn't entirely certain of the extent of your wealth. But with all of this... you are likely richer than the top three wealthiest individuals combined."
"Really?" He asked and she nodded.
"Yes, my lord. The Valyrian Steel trinkets you have brought, even without this treasure trove, would make you the wealthiest man in the world," Mel confirmed before letting out a deep sigh. "With this much wealth, we will need to exercise extreme caution. Even a portion of it could destabilise an entire kingdom's economy.""
He had already thought about all that and simply nodded.
"I still have more to show you, Mel," he informed her before revealing the four living dragon eggs and nine deceased ones that he had discovered in Valyria. Her expression of shock at seeing so many dragon eggs in one place made him wish he had a camera to capture the moment.
However, her shocked expression at the sight of the dragon eggs paled in comparison to the one she wore when he revealed that Cannibal was still alive, and that he fought and defeated it. Though he was careful to not mention the part where he was injured by Cannibal's black flames.
Suffice to say, it was day of revelations for his waifu.
