(Third Person POV)
"You sure about this?" Alyssa asked Aemon, "You want me to leave?"
Aemon had dismounted Meleys and landed on the ground, "Yes." He said, "He is going to send me back if he refuses anyways. There is no need for you to stay."
Aemon had Alyssa fly him over to Harrenhal because Caraxes was still in slumber due to Drakken's command. He had decided to come and confront Drakken and ask him for a favor.
"I think I ought to stay." Alyssa dismounted her dragon , "Drakken would not be so hostile. I came last time and he was quite calm."
Aemon looked at her, "I don't ask you to do this. Whatever happens, I don't want you to get caught up in it." He said, "Drakken's mood is unpredictable, you know that."
"I know." Alyssa told him, "But with Maegelle here, we shouldn't worry too much."
Aemon sighed, "Fine…."
"I know you're mourning." Alyssa said, "And I don't blame you for this, but someone has to watch your back. I won't be able to face Daella if something happens to you here."
"Well, isn't this a surprise." A voice said, "Prince Aemon."
They turned to see Mya standing a few meters away from them. She had her hands in front of her and smiled slightly as the breeze caused her hair to flutter.
"Lady Mya." Alyssa said, "Forgive our intrusion, My Brother wishes to speak to Lord Drakken."
"Lord?" Aemon looked at her
"Quiet." Alyssa whispered to him, "Show respect, dammit."
"My condolences, Prince Aemon. A terrible thing has happened." Mya said, "That is something I do not wish upon any woman, to lose their child in that manner. Poor Daella, she must be going through a terrible thing. Personally, I would have want my husband my side should I have been in her place."
Aemon narrowed his eyes, "Where is he?" He said, "Where is Drakken?"
Mya sighed, "Princess Alyssa, you are more than welcomed to stick around." She said as she looked at her, "Your nieces might want to see you."
Alyssa nodded, "Thank you."
"As for you, Aemon." Mya said, "Allow me to take you to the one you will beg for help."
Aemon scowled, "You….." he said, "He owes me this!"
"Is that what you think?" Mya raised an eyebrow
"He was the one responsible for Jocelyn and Aenys's death!" Aemon exclaimed, "He was-"
"There is no proof of that." Mya cut him off, "And if I recall, you were trying to kill him. But why must we argue?"
"Just come with me."
*****************
"Uh…." Drakken said as he sat on the throne with Astorias on his lap, "No."
Aemon scowled, "Drakken!" He exclaimed, "You have to do this for me! Help my family, I cannot stand looking at my wife in despair!!"
Drakken patted Astorias's head while the girl looked up at her father with love in her eyes, her smile was radiating so much warmth that Drakken was in a good mood despite Aemon being in his presence.
"I don't have to do anything." Drakken said with a serious tone,"Get your head out of your ass. You come here with such audacity, thinking I will just grant favors to just anyone. Fuck off, Aemon."
Alyssa who was standing next to Aemon, stepped forward, "Is there something you could do, at least?" She asked, "Daella…..what happened was too suspicious, My Lord."
"What, you want me to punish a rock?" Drakken asked, "Sure, bring it and I'll reduce it to nothing bu lt dust. Give me a break, accidents happen. The Mob was nobody's fault but your own, House Targaryen. You should have taken precautions when announcing such laws."
"Accidents…." Aemon said, "Like Dara-"
"Brother, silence!" Alyssa cut him off
Aemon scowled, "I…!"
"You know, it pains me….it really does….that Daella is going through this." Drakken said, "I wanted her at one point, she was so precious, so beautiful….the little flower….but there is not much I can do about this."
Astorias began to suck on her thumb and looked at Alyssa with a curious face. Alyssa noticed and simply smiled slightly, trying to make the girl smile.
"How can you say that?" Aemon asked, "You have brought my sister back….my wife!"
"Late Wife." Drakken corrected, "And Daella's child was not fully developed. The fetus is a fragile thing. So I restore it completely, what then? Do you want me to put it back into Daella? Ensuring that a newly formed life makes it to its birth is one thing, but bringing it back and ensuring that it doesn't expire again is a completely different matter. It is too risky for Daella herself. You will have to put another child in her. If you can."
"Are these excuses to hide the fact that this is impossible for you?!" Aemon asked, "This-"
"Oh, I can do it." Drakken said, "Nice try in goading me. But I can definitely do it without risk. I can restore the fetus, place it into an incubation chamber and see it develop within a few months without issue and when it does, I can simply take it out and voila, Daella's little babe."
"Then why wouldn't you do that?" Alyssa asked
"Because I don't give a shit about Aemon." Drakken told her, "It should be that obvious."
Astorias then reached over to Alyssa as she smiled and laughed.
Drakken then appeared in front of her and handed the girl to the Princess.
"Oh." Alyssa said
"She likes you." Drakken said
"That….is surprising." Alyssa said as she held Astorias in her arms
Drakken then looked at Aemon, "Sometimes, loss needs to be endured ." He told him, "Even if that person is alive."
He narrowed his eyes, "You…." He started, "How dare-"
His eyes widened as he saw Jocelyn walking up to them.
"My Lord." Jocelyn said, "Lord Riktor requested your presence in the training yard."
"Jocelyn…." Aemon said softly
Drakken shrugged, "I will be there."
Jocelyn looked at Aemon, "My Prince…." She said, "I am sorry for your loss.".
Aemon frowned, "Y-You don't remember?"
"What do you mean?" Jocelyn tilted her head, "I already told you that there is no way you and I were ma-"
"You're the mother of my daughters, Jocelyn." Aemon cur her off, "You and I…..we loved each other…."
Jocelyn had a look of surprise, "What?"
"Aenys, Rhaenys, and Rhaella." Aemon said as tears formed in his eyes, "You birthed my children…."
Drakken rolled his eyes, "Here we go."
Jocelyn looked at him, "What is he talking about?"
Aemon walked over to her and grabbed her hands, "You and I were married, Jocelyn." He told her, "I lost you. I lost Aenys!"
"Aenys?" She said softly, "Who is….?"
"Our son…." Aemon said as tears flowed down, "He is gone, Jocelyn. And so were you…..but now…..you're here….and our girls….I can't keep you from them…they deserve to know. Please, come back to us. I cannot handle this any longer."
"Aemon…." Alyssa said
Drakken sighed as he stood behind Jocelyn, "Sorry, buddy." He said as he grabbed her shoulders, "But she stays here. And you? You are already married to Daella. So you can't have Jocelyn."
"Well, unless you want to trade…."
