Chapter 328 - The Resurrected Lady VII

(Third Person POV)

"I understand your feelings, Aemon." Maegelle told her brother, "But you cannot act recklessly."

They were in Maegelle's chambers; Alyssa had decided to see her niece, Vaella, while she had Astorias in her arms. She dragged Aemon alongside with her so Maegelle could express her condolences.

"You understand my feelings?!" Aemon exclaimed as he paced around the room, "How could you possibly understand?! You haven't suffered loss like I have! You sit here and enjoy your life with this monster!"

Maegelle frowned, "You don't mean that." She said softly, "I….I have lost someone too, Aemon."

"Who?" Aemon asked, "Daranne?!"

"Brother." Alyssa warned

"Yes. Daranne." Maegelle said, "She was like my sister. And don't think that Aenys's death didn't affect me, he was my nephew. When I found out that Jocelyn was resurrected, I was completely shocked. I keep telling Drakken that she should not be away from her daughters. They have a right to know."

"You are right about that." Aemon said, "But sister, to think that you would stoop so low as to side with him. After everything he has done, Maegelle….you would do this to our Family."

"You are grieving, Aemon." Maegelle said as Vaella crawled over to her, "You are in pain. I understand, but do not point the blame towards me. How many times do you think I have begged Drakken to spare you? When I hadn't given myself to him, I would always get on my knees and beg him to not kill my brothers. Do you have any idea how humiliating it was for me back then? The weight on my conscience, knowing that I was responsible for many deaths because of how I acted with him back then….Aemon, do you understand what I have gone through for our family?"

"And now….?" Aemon asked her, "How do you beg him to do you a favor?"

"I am his wife." She grabbed Vaella and held her in her arms, "I carried his daughter in my belly for months. I love him, with everything I have. And even that won't be enough to keep him from tormenting you, Aemon. You made the mistake of involving yourself in Daranne's death. And no matter how many nights I give myself to him, he will not change his mind."

Aemon clenched his fists, "Even if he was the one who was responsible for it?"

Alyssa walked over to grab Vaella as she smiled at the girl, "How many times are we going to blame Drakken for every misfortune, Aemon?" She asked as she straightened up and held the laughing girl, "Does Daella feel the same?"

"Who else could it have been…?" Aemon said, "Who else but him?!"

"You're distraught, Aemon." Maegelle stood up, "Perhaps a tea that will soothe your mind and body will aid you in-"

"I want nothing from you." Aemon spat

"What has Maegelle done to you, Aemon?" Alyssa asked with a frown, "She has done her best to protect our family!"

"She fell in love with that monster." Aemon scowled

"We don't choose who we love, Aemon." Alyssa told him, "Maegelle was thrown into an unwanted situation, and she found love. She has a daughter whom she won't replace with anyone. Show her respect, Aemon."

Maegelle looked at Vaella, "My girl…." She said softly, "She is everything to me…."

"This one is precious indeed." Alyssa smiled

"I am done here." Aemon began to walk away

"Please, Aemon." Maegelle said, "Rest. You are not in your right mind. I understand that you have suffered loss, but you need rest. I will ask Drakken to take me to King's Landing to see Daella, my poor sister…."

Aemon scoffed, "I don't care."

*************

"Please." Jocelyn said as she grabbed Drakken's arm, "Please, give me an answer."

Drakken was drinking wine as he leaned against the wall, "Huh? What was the question?"

"Would you take me as your lover?" She asked

Drakken raised an eyebrow, "Are you right in the head?" He asked, "Why are you obsessed with me? First, stripping in front of me and having me fondle you….and now this shit? Dammit, woman, calm down."

Jocelyn looked down, "I just…." She said softly, "Please. I need you…."

"Maybe." Drakken told her, "But I don't need you."

"What…?" She frowned

"What makes you think you'd be as good as my Mya? As my Saera?" I asked her, "Maegelle is something else completely, she is my Lady, I will always be satisfied with her. But you? Do you think you can just replace my Daranne?"

"I don't need to." She said as she pressed herself against, "I promise….I will be of satisfaction. I….I need this. Please."

"Tch…!" Drakken said, "Get ahold of yourself, Jocelyn! You are not someone who can just seduce me!"

"But….I exposed myself to you." She said with a frown, "I don't do that with just anyone. I am allowing you to take me, I wouldn't do that with just anyone."

"That is not my problem." I said

"Whenever your wives cannot, I will be of satisfaction. You can use me whenever you desire." Jocelyn told him, "Please, do not turn me away. Do not do this. I understand that you are keeping something from me….and I don't care…."

Drakken grabbed her by the shoulders and gently pushed her away, "You are not thinking straight." He said with an annoyed tone, "Do you understand? I have my wives, I don't need to use another woman to satisfy my lust."

"But you can." She said softly, "You can do it. Use me."

"Go back to work." Drakken told her with a scowl, "I won't repeat myself."

Jocelyn frowned, "I…."

"What is going on here?" A voice said

They both looked over to see Aemon walking up to them.

"It doesn't concern you, Aemon." Drakken told him

"Jocelyn." Aemon said as his face softened, "You need to believe me. You are a Mother….the mother of my children."

Jocelyn looked down, "I apologize." She said, "I don't remember. Lord Drakken, is this true?"

Drakken shrugged, "Does it matter?"

"Of course it matters!!" Aemon exclaimed, "She is the mother of my daughters, Drakken!!"

"You're not denying it." Jocelyn said softly

"I don't care to deny it or not." Drakken said, "Aemon is married already. His wife is Daella, who he is happy with."

"Well….." Jocelyn said, "I-If it is true….I would need to see the children."

"They…." Aemon started, "They are in King's Landing. I could take you there. It would require to-"

"Go to your chambers, Jocelyn." Drakken cut him off, "Now."

"But…." Jocelyn looked at him

"Hm….." He said, "About what we were discussing, I will continue that shortly with you. Allow me to discuss something with Aemon."

Jocelyn bowed slightly, "As you wish."

She then turned around and walked away. Aemon merely watched as this happened, his eyes glued on her beautiful black hair.

After Jocelyn left, Drakken immediately clutched Aemon's throat, taking him by surprise.

"W-What?!" He managed

"The balls on you." Drakken said with a serious scowl, "To come into my home and make demands. I understand that you want to bring your child back but do I look like a charitable god who will take pity on you?!"

"L-Let me go!" Aemon managed, "Drakken!"

"What did you think was going to happen?" Drakken lifted him up a few inches, "That you would take Jocelyn back and will have two wives like the Conqueror? Like me? You are not Aegon. You are not me. Jocelyn belongs to the Trinity, Aemon. Not you."

"And I will make sure you understand that."
