The Great Council chamber of King’s Landing was suffocating, thick with the smell of old parchment, melting wax, and the heavy, lingering dread that followed Prince Aerion Targaryen like a shroud. You stood quietly in the shadows, your fingers cold and numb around the heavy silver pitcher, doing your best to remain entirely invisible to the lords of the realm.
Brightflame lazily flicked his wrist, tilting the silver goblet in his hand in a silent, demanding gesture. For a fraction of a second, his cruel, lilac eyes cut through the dimness, locking onto yours with an unsettling intensity. Your heart seized. Holding your breath, you stepped out from the safety of the dusty shadows, desperate to make as little sound as possible as you moved across the room. Every eye in the chamber felt like a weight, but your focus was entirely on the terrifying figure seated at the absolute head of the heavy oak table.
"The smallfolk are growing restless along the borders," Prince Baelor Targaryen spoke, his calm, authoritative voice commanding the room as he gestured to the maps with his ringered fingers.
The voices around the table were growing increasingly heated. The lords leaned forward, their tones sharp and urgent as they tried desperately to convince the Crown Prince of a crucial political move. Your father had once commanded the foremost seats in councils such as these, you reminded yourself, the memory a bitter taste on your tongue. He had possessed a sharp, calculating mind for the game of polities a gift that had lined your family’s coffers until your house rivaled the dragons themselves in wealth. But the gods are fickle, they flipped a coin, just to watch men bleed for the flip of it, and the Targaryens had won. Now, held fast in this gilded cage, your kin were as distant as the stars. You wondered where they had scattered, if any still drew breath, or if the roots of your family tree had been severed entirely, leaving you the last leaf to wither in the draft. Yet, Brightflame seemed entirely detached from the heavy weight of their words.
He mindlessly toyed with a dagger of pure Valyrian steel, turning the dark, rippled blade over and over, lazily caressing the deadly edge with his fingertips as his thoughts drifted elsewhere.
His gaze was fixed on the massive stone hearth across the hall. His deep lilac eyes seemed to burn with the reflection of the roaring fire, his white eyelashes twitching slightly against the amber glow. A slow, sinister smile spread across his full, pink lips, the look of a man who constantly reminded himself that he was a dragon born of ash and fire. In the shifting play of light and shadow, his sharp aristocratic jawline and high cheekbones looked almost divine.
Yes, he was divine, you thought with a sickening shudder. You absolutely hate him. A dangerous, suffocating beauty. He was the pure, unadulterated evidence of Valyrian majesty.
But contrasted so sharply with that ethereal beauty was the dark, rot-like cruelty that festered just beneath his pale skin.
Lord Caron shifted uncomfortably in his high-backed seat, pulling at his thick, brindled beard as he cleared his throat to break the tension. "Your Grace," the old lord ventured, his voice raspy from the smoke of the hearth. "We must first look to Casterly Rock. If we secure their backing and march along the southern flank, we might yet—
The old man’s council was abruptly cut short.
With a sickening, panicked slip of your numb fingers, the heavy silver pitcher betrayed you. It lurched violently from your hands, tilting mid-air before crashing onto the table. A sudden, cruel arc of dark red Arbor gold splashed heavily across the immaculate, silver-embroidered cloak of Prince Baelor.
The entire room turned to stone. The heated arguments died instantly in the throats of twenty proud lords. Even Aerion Targaryen, whose eyes had been lost to the flames, slowly turned his gaze toward you, his white eyelashes narrowing as a dangerous stillness settled over his features.
Your heart hammered against your ribs like a frightened dove trapped in a wicker cage, its wings beating so frantically that the sheer terror of it seemed to physically shove you forward. Your arm collided with the edge of the heavy oak, sending an intricate, stag-horn inkwell tumbling onto its side. Black ink bled instantly across the precious vellum maps, mingling with the pool of red wine.
Panic, blinding and absolute, swallowed you whole. You dropped heavily to your knees, your bones cracking against the cold stone floor as you buried your face in the shadows of the table. You had learned through bitter, bloody lessons what it cost to disobey. The fire of vengeance burned hot within your chest, but you could not let it consume you—not yet. Not yet.
"I—I beg of your forgiveness your Grace!" a jagged, pathetic sob rising from your chest as you wept at the feet of the heir to the Iron Throne. "Please, Your Grace... it will not happening again!”
Aerion didn't reach for his dagger. Instead, he leaned back into the shadows of his high chair, the sinister smile returning to his pink lips, He took immense pleasure in watching you in this pathetic state. thoroughly tasting the exquisite flavor of your public ruin. He extended his empty silver goblet over your shaking form, his voice cutting through the suffocating silence of the hall, dripping with a casual, aristocratic malice that felt heavier than a death sentence.
"You know..." he murmured, his words deliberate, ensuring every lord from the Wall to Dorne would hear his vulgarity, "had I not slaughtered your family, I would have bent you over this very table and taken you right in front of them."
A collective, horrified chill ran through the council chamber. A few lords choked on their breath; others stared fixedly at the ruined maps, a tense, heavy sweat breaking out beneath their velvet and fur collars.
Prince Baelor’s dark brows snapped together, a hard, dangerous line grooving his forehead. His face, usually defined by the gentle, just stoicism of the Breakspear, hardened into pure steel. He looked at his nephew, his eyes flashing with a deep, royal disgust that needed no words to rebuke the prince's sickening cruelty.
With quiet, immense dignity, Baelor placed his ringed hand over the stained fabric of his cloak, entirely ignoring the black ink and red wine ruining his clothes. He looked down at you, his voice low, steady, and cutting through the suffocating air like a cool wind.
"You may go," Baelor commanded softly, giving you a singular, firm nod that was less an order and more a sudden shield against the dragon's madness.
As you scrambled out of the Great Council chamber, your knees bleeding and your hands still stained with black ink and Arbor gold, you collapsed into the dim, drafty corridor outside. Your breath came in ragged, terrified gasps. Prince Baelor had given you permission to leave, but you knew the tragic truth of King's Landing, Baelor’s mercy ended at the council doors, And that crushing weight collapsed onto you once more. The sickness in your belly… the bruises on your body ached, the very bruises the prince never allowed to fade. It wouldn't leave you alone in your dreams at night; the moment your mind went blank, it hit you like a whirlwind—no, no... it trapped you beneath the screams of the other slaves you had once reached out a helping hand to back in Essos, But now, in King's Landing, you were nothing but a lowborn, serving in the prince's chambers.
Everyone in the Red Keep knew of the Prince’s sickening obsession with you.
"Remember this every time you scrub my floors until your fingers bleed whore. Your house didn't just fall. I crushed it. And the only reason you still draw breath in King’s Landing is because I enjoy watching a fallen bird try to fly in a cage of my making.”
Those had been his first words, a single, sharp lash that cut deeper than any blade. In your naivety, you had stared at the stone floor and wondered what could possibly be worse. You thought you had felt the absolute bottom of the abyss. You had not foreseen the cruelty that lay waiting in the shadows of his mind.
But the worse came. It always did in King’s Landing. Your brother always used to tell you stories, but he was gone now, In the eyes of the Seven Kingdoms, your father had been branded a traitor. Your brother, having made the fatal choice to stand alongside Ser Duncan the Tall in the Trial of Seven, became the chief quarry of Prince Aerion’s venomous wrath. Both of their heads had been struck off, left to rot upon iron spikes. As for your sister, you knew not her true fate; only the sickening whispers that she had been sold into some wretched brothel. Your house, which had once held its head as high as the dragons themselves, was cast into the dirt, its very name struck from the maps of the realm.
They remembered the very day he took your innocence and stripped away your remaining dignity. Aerion had gathered the lords and the nobles of the realm into his chambers, forcing them to stand as witnesses to his depravity. Behind a thin, white silken curtain, lit by the flickering amber glow of candles, they had all seen your naked, broken silhouette—shaking and bleeding as you wept into the sheets. Aerion had stood before that curtain with a dark, lustful satisfaction on his face, worshipping all over your body, openly parading your ruin as a trophy of his absolute power.
After that day, he had formally made you his personal cupbearer and maid, And every single time, he reminded you of exactly why you were reduced to this state.
Crushed beneath the suffocating weight of everything you had endured, you dragged your feet down into the damp dark of the cellars, toward the bleak corner that was now your quarters. With every step upon the cold stone, you fashioned new ways to slide poison into the prince’s wine. You did it often mulling over sweet sleep, or the strangler’s agonizing choke—yet every time your eyes met the white cloaks of the Kingsguard, a cold doubt bled into your chest, whispering that your blade would shatter before it ever touched his skin.
You pulled the greasy wool blanket to your chin, shivering as the dampness of the stones seeped into your aching bones. louder than the scratching of the rats in the walls. You closed your eyes, clutching your bruised ribs, and prayed to whatever gods were listening that the poison in your mind would one day find its way to his throat.
Dawn arrived without mercy, bleeding a cold, grey light through the high arched windows of the Red Keep. Your ribs still ached from the night before, each breath a sharp reminder of the stones beneath the Great Council table. Yet, there was no time for healing. A servant’s life was measured in paces and duties, and Prince Aerion’s chambers awaited. You dressed yourself with haste, taking swift strides toward the corridors of the heirs to face the tedious tasks you were bound to perform each day, and the countenances you wished never to behold—as though such speed might make you invisible.
When you pushed open the heavy oak doors, the scent of stale summerwine, musk, and spent tallow rushed to greet you, turning your stomach sour.
Those chambers…you were forced to enter every single day in here where he had stripped away your dignity, where a violent shudder took hold of your body every time you crossed the threshold; those cold walls that bore witness to the first night he fucked you so brutally.
On the massive four-poster bed, draped in heavy crimson silks, Aerion lay tangled in linen sheets. Beside him was a girl a young thing with tumbled flaxen hair, her bare shoulder gleaming in the morning gloom. She was a daughter of some minor house, no doubt, or perhaps a high-priced whore from the silk shops of the Street of the Sisters, She was tangled around the prince like ivy, her soft, round thighs draped over his hip, her fingers idly tracing the line of his collarbone. She shifted, pressing her naked breasts against his bare chest, her lips parting to murmur a sleepy, breathless endearment against his throat, desperate to stoke the dying embers of his desire for another taste of a prince’s favor.
You kept your gaze fixed firmly on the floor. You did not look at the bed. You did not look at her. To look would mean remembering that night, and every terrible night that came after. To look was to exist, and your only survival lay in being a ghost.
Aerion’s reaction was instant, driven by a volatile, shifting madness.
The lust that had consumed him hours before turned into a low hiss of utter loathing. He gripped the girl's soft wrists with biting strength and threw her arms off him as if she were a bloated corpse that had washed ashore. He bolted upright, his magnificent, sharp features twisted into a mask of pure disgust.
"Get out," he spat, his voice a venomous rasp that shattered the morning quiet.
The girl blinked, startled and trembling, clutching the silk sheets to her chest. M-my prince? I thought—
"I told you to leave!" Aerion roared, his deep lilac eyes flashing with a dangerous, unstable fire. He didn't look at her; he looked past her, his gaze snapping directly to where you stood by the washing basin. “Your breath stinks of sour wine and common blood. Wash yourself or drown in the Blackwater, I care not. Out!”
Weeping into her hands, the girl scrambled from the bed, gathering her discarded shift from the floor in a panic, and fled the chambers barefoot, the heavy doors slamming shut behind her.
The silence that followed was suffocating.
You moved like an automaton. You approached the large cedar wardrobe to prepare his attire for the day. You fetched a fresh tunic of black velvet, embroidered with the three-headed dragon of House Targaryen in shimmering red thread, alongside his fine boiled-leather riding boots.
As you worked, you felt it—a heat against the back of your neck that had nothing to do with the hearth.
Aerion had not moved from the bed. He sat amid the ruined silks, his pale, aristocratic chest bare, his silver-gold hair falling like spun glass over his shoulders. His lilac eyes followed your every movement, tracking the heavy sway of your hips beneath your rough, woolen gown, the elegant curve of your throat as you reached for his garments, and the small, trembling grace of your ink-stained fingers.
Beneath the rot of his cruelty, beneath the madness that whispered of dragons and wildfire, lay a dark, unspoken truth. He didn't just want to break you; he was consumed by a feral, morbid, possessive fixation. To him, you were not just another servant to be discarded like the girl who had just fled. You were the blood of a fallen house, a rare, exquisite bird whose wings he had clipped himself. In his twisted mind, your silence was a challenge, your quiet dignity a prize more valuable than any throne. Even considering the state you now found yourself in, the weight of your education and intellect, paired with the prince’s renowned standing across the Seven Kingdoms—ensured you had known it to be true from the very moment you first laid eyes upon him. He hated how much he desired the very creature he had reduced to ash, and that desire only made him more dangerous.
He watched you lift the heavy black tunic, his white eyelashes narrowing as a slow, deliberate smile cut across his lips.
“You did not look at her." Aerion murmured softly from the bed, his tone almost conversational, yet dripping with that familiar, aristocratic malice. “Tell me, my sweet little ruin... did it please you to see how easily I discard those who are not you?”
You kept your gaze firmly on the fine fabric of his tunic, refusing to look into his eyes, refusing to grant him the satisfaction of a single word. A reply, even a whispered plea, was a luxury you could not afford. You knew with absolute certainty that one wrong breath, one defiant syllable, and he would have your head struck off and sent straight to join your father in the dirt.
No, you thought, your chest tightening around a cold, hard knot of hatred. Not yet. I will live to see him burn first. I cannot let my family's blood wash away into nothing.
As his words hung heavily in the air, Aerion raised his arms in a fluid, regal motion, silently demanding that you begin the task of dressing him. He sat back slightly, his lilac eyes gleaming with wicked amusement as he watched your frantic, mechanical movements. He took immense pleasure in your silent desperation, thoroughly enjoying your clear, agonizing haste to finish the chore and flee the suffocating confines of his chambers.
Turning your back to him for a single second to retrieve an intricate silver button from the top shelf of the cedar wardrobe, the air behind you suddenly shifted.
Before you could step away, a sudden, heavy warmth bloomed against your skin. His palm was large, burning hot, and ruthlessly possessive as his fingers splayed out, completely cupping the entire curve of your butt cheeck right through the coarse fabric of your gown. A violent, electric shudder tore clean through your body, freezing the breath in your throat. Before you could even gasp, his other hand slid smoothly around the narrow curve of your waist, his long fingers trailing up your ribs with a sickening, lazy familiarity.
"You tremble so beautifully," he whispered, his hot, wine-scented breath ghosting directly against the shell of your ear, sending a sickening chill down your spine.
The sheer terror of his touch, mixed with the memory of that brutal night, broke through your restraint. With a sudden, panicked jolt, you pulled away, stumbling half a step backward toward the heavy wardrobe to break his hold.
Aerion’s features hardened instantly. The lazy, amused smile vanished from his pink lips, replaced by a dark, volatile fury that twisted his divine jawline into something monstrous. His white eyelashes narrowed to dangerous slits.
“Do you dare?” Aerion hissed, stepping out of the bed, his bare chest heaving as he closed the distance between you like a predator cornering a wounded animal. ”Do you dare defy a prince of the realm?”
His eyes flashed with a hideous, burning spark, as though his very blood were simmering with an unstable, volatile heat. In his fury, those magnificent lilac eyes darkened until they were almost black, swallowing the light of the room.
Before you could even turn around, his hands slammed onto your waist from behind, his fingers digging like iron claws into your hips as he violently forced you down across the table. “No!”-Stop, your majesty I - “ you gasped, trying to push him away, but he didn't budge an inch.
The wooden basin and the silver buttons you held clattered and crashed noisily onto the stone floor, scattering into the shadows. He pressed the full, suffocating weight of his body against your back, pinning you flat against the wood. A soft, breathless groan escaped his mouth, a sound of pure, carnal satisfaction that turned your stomach sour.
He leaned down, his hot breath ghosting over your neck before his mouth found your earlobe. He caught the soft skin between his teeth, biting down just hard enough to bruise, sending a sharp jolt of pain through your jaw, As he pressed his entire length against you, the absolute filth of his touch made you feel physically sick. You could feel the rigid, dangerous heat of his desire through the coarse fabric of your woolen gown. He was doing this on purpose not just out of lust, but to remind you exactly who held your life in his hands. Every morning, the cruelty grew heavier; every single day, he increased the dose of your torment just to see how much it took to make you break.
The venom of your hatred finally boiled over. You choked down the sob in your throat and turned your face just enough to bare your teeth at him.
"I am no whore," you hissed, the words cutting through the quiet room like a poisoned blade.
Aerion paused, his teeth still brushing against your ear. For a second, the room went deathly still. Then, a low, cruel laugh rumbled deep in his chest a sound filled with so much aristocratic mockery it made your blood run cold.
“No?” Aerion murmured, He seemed to taste your audacious words upon his tongue. his grip tightening on your waist until you gasped from the pain. He slid one hand slowly up your ribs, his fingers tracing the fragile line of your collarbone with terrifying possessiveness. "Your father died as a traitor, and your house is nothing but ash and crows. You breathe because I allow it. You eat because I feed you.”
“In Westeros…..a whore gets paid for her flesh," he whispered, his lips brushing the shell of your ear once more, dripping with venomous amusement. "You do it to keep your head on your shoulders. Tell me... does that not make you the cheapest whore in the Seven Kingdoms?”
He didn't permit you to say a word, while your heart leaped into your throat. Without a word of warning, his hand shot down, shoving the coarse wool of your skirt upward. His burning fingers slipped beneath the fabric, sliding directly between your thighs until his palm brushed against the slick, undeniable dampness in your enterence. You strained to resist, but your efforts were entirely futile.
A small, breathless whimpering gasp escaped your lips before you could choke it back, echoing helplessly through the quiet room.
Prince Aerion let out a short, low laugh—a sound of pure triumph and aristocratic malice that cut half in you. He paused his hand there, his fingers possessively mapping your heat.
“Just as expected of a whore,” he murmured against between your neck and shoulder, his lips curling into a cruel, knowing grin. “Your body knows its master, my lovely lovely little dove. You can whisper lies of hatred all you please... but your flesh doesn't lie to me. —I give n-“
The heavy oak doors groaned as Ser Donnel of the Kingsguard rapped his armored gauntlet against the wood. He bowed his head and paid his respects before the princeling. His muffled voice cut clean through the frantic beating of your heart. “Forgive my insolence, Your Grace. King Daeron requests your immediate presence in the Small Council. The lords from Riverrun have arrived.”
The interruption was like a bucket of ice water over the prince's madness. Aerion stopped, his fingers freezing against your thigh, his breath ragged and hot against your bare shoulder. Your wide, striking eyes wandered over the dark silhouette of the prince, for one agonizing second, you thought he might ignore the guard completely, that he would rip your gown away and consume you anyway. A cold, biting shame washed over you, swallowing you whole.
For a single heartbeat, he faltered. You could see the sharp cruelty lingering in his gaze as he planted a lingering kiss upon your naked shoulder.
Before he pulled away, he pressed the wettest heaviest and loudest kiss against your lips aswell, the sound echoing sharply in the tense silence of the room. He slowly dragged his hand out from beneath your skirt, slick with your undeniable moisture, and lifted his glistening fingers to your face, holding them right before your eyes.
“Open your mouth.” he commanded, his voice dark and dripping with anticipation.
You clenched your jaw tight, refusing to obey, staring back at him with unyielding defiance. But Prince Aerion did not like to be kept waiting. Instantly, his other hand shot up, his iron fingers wrapping ruthlessly around your throat, squeezing just enough to cut off your air. The sudden, agonizing rush of pain forced your mouth to open automatically in a desperate gasp for breath.
Taking immediate advantage, he slid his wet fingers past your lips, forcing them deep into your mouth. He made you taste your own ruined, betrayed body-forcing you to swallow the very evidence of your and his desire.
“Mmm... “Aerion hummed, a low, vibration of pure satisfaction rumbled in his chest as he watched your eyes wide with tears and fury. Beautiful he thinks. So beautiful.
He let out a soft, pleased chuckle at your utter humiliation. Slowly, his grip on your throat loosened, his fingers trailing lazily down your neck. He leaned in one last time, pressing a hard kiss against the sharp curve of your soft chin. His lips felt as though they were tasting your skin.
This was his routine, and you knew it all too well. He manipulated you with the precision of a master musician playing a tragic song. First, he would break you, crushing your pride and ruining your spirit beneath his boots, and then... he would whisper those intoxicating, beautiful words into your ear to piece you back together. Every single time, he left you utterly ruined and turned upside down.
Smoothing down his tunic, he turned toward the Kingsguard who stood waiting at the door but as he passed your side, his hand shot out with lightning speed, delivering a sharp, mocking smack across your butt cheecks. And he disappeared before the wide silhouette of the Kingsguard.
Your whole body shook with rage at yourself. You hated that you couldn't control your own body. Every time you saw the prince, you felt like you were betraying yourself, betraying your family, your house. And you hated that you were completely helpless to stop him.
You curled into yourself on the floor, weeping silently in the dusty morning light, knowing that no matter how much you prayed for his death, a part of you was already rotting in his cage. Yet, you would not yield. You would not grant him that victory.
While the entire court whispered of nothing but Baelor Targaryen’s ascension to the Iron Throne, and the palace shook with rumors of the ailing King I. Daeron you were tasked with overseeing the clearing of the dungeons under the cover of the chaos. It was there, amidst the damp shadows, that you came face-to-face with Ser Varamon Grafton the man who had served as your father’s loyal squire for as long as you could remember. He was a mountain of a man, Toppling him would be no easy feat, of course. A tempest of indescribable emotions stirred within your chest; for the first time since you had set foot in King’s Landing, you were looking upon one of your own kind. You found yourself wondering, with a lingering sense of awe, how he had ever managed to survive though now he appeared wasted and gaunt in the deep gloom of the dungeons; yet, he had lost none of his terrifying silhouette. You could not speak with him for long—in truth, you had barely spoken at all—for the guards were crawling everywhere, and the very instant they noticed you, it would have been the end of you both. But he was a sharp man, and the moment his eyes fell upon you, he understood. A sudden, fragile hope swelled within your chest, knowing you were no longer entirely alone in this den of vipers. Yet, the freezing truth struck you just as quickly, turning your blood to ice: Sir Varamon was now the only soul left alive of your fallen house.
Leaving the dungeons, through the great balcony-corridor where the palace's breathtaking view and the dazzling Valyrian stonework framed by its sweetest-scented flowers met, you were going to the kitchen as fast as possible, almost running, with the adrenaline of the shock sinking into your very depths. In your head, many plans were spinning, everything was tangled—after the happiness of seeing Ser Varamon and even, thank the gods, speaking with him, you were happy for the first time since you had been in King’s Landing.
You were drowned so deeply in the dark well of your thoughts that you failed to note the blood of the dragon passing right before your eyes. In the next heartbeat, your brow collided with a stone wall in a sharp, resounding burst of agony, and the bucket in your hand went clattering against the floor with a deafening rattle. When you forced your head up, a pair of mismatched eyes-two different colors, one green one blue. sharp and probing were already staring down at you. His arms were extended to either side, not yet touching you, and yet the sheer weight of his presence made you feel far more than any physical touch ever could.
Like everyone else within the walls of this treacherous court, he knew your story. He was his father’s son through and through—shrewd, quiet, and wrapped in a veneer of gentle courtesy, yet he carried an undercurrent of danger that was no less threatening. He did not bleed a paralyzing venom with every breath like Aerion did, but his stillness alone was enough to remind you of the dragon sleeping beneath the skin.
You bit your lip in burning shame and bowed your head toward the stone floor. "Forgive me, Your Grace," you pleaded, You made sure your voice sounded fragile; “I have been working long hours and the weariness overtook me. I did not see you, truly. It shall not happen again.” that was how things worked here. The fewer problems you caused the highborn especially those of royal blood—the less suspicion you would draw.
For now, you had to play your part well and breed no trouble; otherwise, there would be no escaping the strangling grip of these poisoned vines. You had already drawn too many eyes upon yourself of late. You needed to gather your wits, steel your resolve, and find a path out of this living hell before the castle swallowed you whole.
“Calm yourself, girl," he said, his voice a cool, steady murmur that seemed to quiet the frantic beating of your heart. "There is no need for such trembling. The Red Keep has a way of stealing a body’s wits when the nights grow long and the chores turn heavy.
As he spoke, his gaze lingered upon the violet and crimson bruises that marred your neck, stark and impossible to hide against the pale brilliance of your skin. He had noted them—of course he had. It was Aerion’s sigil, you thought bitterly; a signature everyone within the keep recognized on sight. It was his marking. For a fleeting second, a memory from a time before clawed it’s way back into your mind; you could feel his wet breath against your ear as if it were happening all over again, Those searing, venomous words and barbed glittering eyes whispering, “Everyone will know you are mine. You have nothing left to lose anyway. Just as I took everything you owned, I have taken you as well. They will know you writhe for me, that you burn for me. They will know how meekly you obey.”
Yet no one, not even those who shared his dragon blood, dared to speak of it; they preferred to keep their distance, desperate to shield themselves from the court's venomous intrigues. A sudden wave of shame washed over you, striking your body like a physical jolt. Your flesh flushed a deep, burning crimson, rising to match the very color of your wounds. You tried, with desperate care, to tug your collar higher to hide the shame, but the young prince merely shook his head. His demeanor cooled, hardening into an even more distant reserve, and with a tight, subtle nod of his head, he left you ruined beneath the weight of his silence.
In a manner you could not divine—especially now, while he sat chained and rotting in the depths of the dungeons he had managed to slip the Tears of Lys to you by way of a kitchen maid. It astounded you that even from behind iron bars, his reach could extend into the light, utilizing the keep’s hidden, shadowed veins and silent conspirators to do his bidding. He could move like a ghost through a court so teeming with life, never once drawing a glance. Your father’s faith in him had been well-earned, after all. But You had to tread with utmost caution; Aerion and his rabble were watching your every move, their eyes following your every breath.
The sun was a sinking wound on the horizon when you brought the prince his evening meal. You had weighed the danger over and over in your thoughts, steeling yourself to find the exact, lethal moment to strike. Yet, the instant the door swung open, a hellish heat crashed against your chest, making the very air too thick to breathe. The chamber was drowning in warmth, a heat furnace. You refused to look at him, keeping your eyes averted as you set down his supper and made ready to flee the chamber. The air was so thick with that infernal heat that your cheeks burned as if caught by a stray spark.
And there he bided—the prince, idly carving the stifling air with a blade of dark, rippled Valyrian steel.
You found yourself fumbling, your hands shaking as a breath caught and withered in your throat. It was a familiar torment, arriving without fail. Did it spring from terror? From grief? From loathing? Or did your only hope of escape lie hidden within their very midst? Or was your soul torn apart by the weight of them all combined? You wanted nothing more than to break from his gaze and vanish into the shadows outside. You spun around quickly and made for the door, “Stay.” he commanded, his voice catching in his throat as his eyes crawled slowly down your body, taking you in inch by inch. With your head bowed low, you turned back toward him, offering no words and never once lifting your eyes to meet his face.
His gaze lingered upon your flushed cheeks, before dropping lower to the hard, His eyes dropped to your full, heavy breasts beneath the fabric, and finally settling upon your lips’ bitten raw and bleeding from your own anxious teeth. He lingered there a while in that fashion, suspended in the quiet of his own thoughts.
Then he sank slowly back into the velvet cushions of his chair, his breathing ragged, his lilac eyes dark with a feverish, feral hunger. He opened his legs and patted his thighs with a slow, deliberate stroke, never once breaking his gaze from you as a breathless smile twisted his lips.
“Come here.” he urged, his gaze burning through your clothes, you can feel it absolute. His eyes stripped you bare, a brazen and unmistakable invitation to the horrors yet to come.Looking you through the dim candles. “Do not make your prince beg. Come, sit, and quench this fire. Is the room a bit warm for you?” He asked,
a cruel amusement dancing in his voice.
“Has the dragon’s blood made you uncomfortable?”
Never once did you speak, keeping your chin tucked in silent rebellion. Aerion bided his time for a moment, his breathing quickening as the temper flared within him; As his fingers tightened around the hilt of his dagger, the sharp, scraping shriek of steel and the near-white strain of his knuckles bore grim witness that his patience had been stretched to its absolute limit. With a sudden roar of movement, his hand struck the wood, sending ink and dark wine spilling noisily onto the ground. He was on his feet in a flash, closing the distance between you so fast your senses reeled, a sudden chill washing over your entire body.
No, you were done enduring this. Refusing to let history repeat itself, you spun toward the door to run. But you only made it a single step before Aerion snared your arm, spinning you back as his palm struck your cheek with a force that surely echoed through every stone of the castle. This cheek was certainly going to bruise you think, a sour taste filled your mouth for a moment, Your lip had burst, you supposed. Your sight went black for a terrifying second. Your mouth felt like ash, your lip had burst open, and your head reeled from the sheer weight of the blow. “Let me go!” Your voice came out thin and broken, a shattered thing. but in this room, only the prince’s word was law. You tried to scream, but your throat was caught in a knot. For a fleeting moment, a pathetic look crossed his face, his brows knitting together in an unexpected frown, you almost thought he would let you go, but then the illusion shattered, leaving only the hollow, ancient malice that truly ruled him.
He trapped you between his massive frame and the door. The guards were out there, close enough to touch, you’re so sure of that but the silence from the hallway was absolute. The dagger in his hands was a cold line of steel against your throat, contrasting with the hot, spiced air of his breath on your cheek a touch both feather-light and crushingly heavy. The moment his lips brushed your skin, his lashes trembled it bore the look of a lover finally reunited with her beloved but it was only a look, for this was Aerion, an unpredictable and unmeasurable force. A savagery that held cruelties no one could even begin to imagine. He began to kiss the very cheek he had slapped, his lips moving with a slow, meticulous focus that soon covered your entire face. He tasted your skin and the blood in your trembling lips, not merely for pleasure, but because he wanted it to seep into the very marrow of every bone in your body. You couldn't see his expression through the veil of your tears; everything was just a terrifying, dark silhouette. Your jaw throbbed, your lip stung, and his tongue forced its way against your lips, demanding surrender.
Your frantic struggles meant nothing to him. The blade pressed tighter into your skin, drawing you to the brink. Yet, with a sickening tenderness that made his previous violence unbelievable, his free hand gently caressed your hair, And now, he was squeezing the soft flesh of your leg.
“You always push us to this edge.” he whispered, his patience wearing thin. An alliance with the blood of the dragon is a sacred honor. You should be proud that it is you I want.
“Take your hands off me! You are hurting me!”
you shrieked, the words tearing from your throat.
But the sheer hunger in his gaze was a physical heat, and combined with the sweltering room and the deceptive gentleness of his mouth, your own body betrayed you—growing damp and heavy with a desire you never asked for. a treacherous warmth began to pool between your thighs. You loathed him, but your pulse raced to meet his touch anyway. In that horrific moment, the deepest hatred you felt wasn't for the prince, but for yourself, completely paralyzed by a twisted betrayal of your own flesh.
The dagger left his hand with a dull thud upon the wood as his palms clamped around your waist, forcing your steps backward until the edge of the bed caught your knees. He pulled you against his chest with a desperate, crushing strength, leaving no space between you. His mouth tore into the crook of your neck, his lips devouring the soft, heated skin with a primal lust. The bruises already there were deepening even further. In his mind, there was no woman more beautiful, you were only his. Only.
His grip moved from your waist to the curve of your hips. He coveted them fiercely; so many times he had paused just to watch those hips shift as you bent to your tasks, using the memory to pleasure himself in the dark. That you dared to deny him, that you did not run to his chambers the instant he wished it, made his blood boil. he left bites from your neck down to your breasts. He took your already hardened nipple into his mouth through the cloth, He did not bite hard; instead, he took it into his mouth with immense softness and pleasure, sucking gently through the fabric. My prince, d-don't," you tried to push him away, but it was in vain he was definitively stronger than you, and you could not move. A tense snarl tightly locked Aerion’s jaw as his hands tightened their fierce grip. A tense snarl tightly locked Aerion’s jaw as his hands tightened their fierce grip. "Save that sweet tone of yours for when I fuck you ruinous.”
With a savage twist of his wrists, he ripped the coarse fabric of your dress right down the seam, flinging the ruined threads away until you were left bare.
You tried to shield your nakedness, your tears weeping blindly into the rich silk pillows. Yet, he pulled your hands away, gently turning your palms upward to press his lips against the soft skin. The sheer madness of his gentleness a stark, terrifying contrast to the monster he had been a moment prior left your senses reeling. He had used you before, but never with a gentleness behind which you could not guess what lurked.
“You are beautiful.” he whispered, laying you back upon the bed like a conqueror claiming his finest spoils.
His palms captured your full breasts again, his teeth catching and biting your nipple until a soft gasp tore from your throat. Your hands reached up, embedding themselves in the thick silver of his hair. He tilted his face, his cruel Valyrian violet eyes locking onto yours while his mouth remained fastened to your skin. And then, his fingers slipped into the slick, heavy heat between your legs, suddenly driving deep inside you. A broken sob escaped your lips as the terror and pain slowly began to blur, overtaken by the dark, unwanted tide of ecstasy.
His fingers slid deep inside your tight cunt within the slick, wet sound. and the ecstasy dragged you under like a dark quicksand. Your vision trembled, your thoughts blurring into nothingness. When he raised his face to press his lips against yours, you didn't pull away this time, you met his mouth, he entwined his tongue with yours in a fierce, possessive swirl and Aerion laughed into the kiss, drinking down the soft, broken whimpers that spilled from your throat.
"You can only take what is never truly yours.” you panted, faltering for a brief moment, the words scarce louder than a sigh. “Yet you are here, beneath me.” he answered, his purple eyes burning with a terrifying triumph as his hands moved fiercly aganist your skin to seal his claim. He seemed so radiant, so consumed by that dragon heat; in the shadows of the room, brilliant green flames seemed to leap from his eyes. You thought your mind was playing tricks on you, a mere trick of the light—but no, he felt more like a myth than a real man.
His mouth drifted lower, searing the line of your neck, your collarbone, and the soft slope of your stomach before burying itself between your inner thighs. Keeping his eyes locked onto yours, he pressed wet, deliberate kisses into your skin, his teeth nipping cruelly until it stung, savoring the absolute power he held over you. You were entirely undone; your moans broke free into the quiet room, your gaze drifting as your fingers twisted desperately into the heavy fabric of the bedding.
He rose slowly to his feet, discarding his breeches and his tunic in swift, fluid motions. Free of his clothes, his cock sprang forth as if finally drawing breath its head angry, twitching, and already slick with precum. In that dim light, he looked more breathtakingly beautiful than any of the gods from the old books your father used to read to you about the Andals.
With a brutal ease, he hooked your legs over his broad shoulders, the muscles across his chest tightening with the movement. He pressed a surprisingly sweet kiss against your ankle, though his face remained dark with unbridled lust. By now, the desperate ache in your belly had turned into a torturous pain, and as you writhed beneath him, Aerion did not miss your agony.
“That’s my pretty whore.” he murmured.
You were trying not to look at his face as much as possible; his hand found your chin and locked your gaze into his eyes. He positioned himself at your slick entrance, then suddenly threw his full weight forward, driving deep inside you as a delicious groan tore from his throat. His eyes rolled back with sheer ecstasy as his cock forced its way into your very depths. But you felt no joy, but the pleasure you felt just a moment ago suddenly disappeared sharp pain pierced through you.
The prince tightened his iron grip upon your legs, his eyes flashing. ”What makes you think you may speak my name?” He demanded.
A bitter whimper spilled from your lips as he began to quicken his pace, his thrusts growing harder. With every brutal stroke against your pelvis, the biting pain began to blur, turning into a sweet, aching throb of pleasure. His heavy hands remained clamped upon your chest, kneading and squeezing the soft flesh of your breasts.
With every savage thrust, his breaths grew heavier, turning into low, ragged growls. You were caught so deeply in the swelling tide of ecstasy that all speech was stolen from you, each powerful drive causing the heavy bed to creak and groan beneath his weight. He looked down, his eyes filled with a fierce, possessive adoration as he watched your breasts bounce with his movements. His thumb found your clitoris, stroking it harder with every thrust. A wave of pleasure consumed your body, your eyes tried to shut, but you couldn't close them as your tears had completely run dry.
“Touch yourself," he commanded suddenly. The words were steeped in a thick, lustful heat, dripping from his lips like warm honey.
Your hands moved instinctively, finding your own breasts and belly, to pinch and caress your tight, hardened body. Aerion threw his head back with a sharp grunt of satisfaction. After a few final, deep strokes that drove into your very core, he spent his seed inside you, holding himself flush against your hips to ensure not a single drop escaped. He let his full weight settle over you, remaining utterly still for a long moment as his mouth buried itself in the crook of your neck, suckling the damp skin. Your body shook violently in the aftermath, trembling like a lone leaf falling from a winter tree. Neither of you spoke a heavy, breathless silence hung between you, thick with a lustful tension that said far more than any words ever could.
He drew himself out slowly and rose from the tangled sheets, crossing the room to lift the half-spilled goblet of wine from the table. He took a slow sip, his lips curling into that familiar, mocking sneer.
“Perhaps, a dragon’s seed make you noble once more.” he murmured, finding his own words so amusing that a sharp bark of laughter broke from his chest.
But you could scarce even hear him through the thick, suffocating fog that filled your mind.
Aerion’s voice murmured on, but the words meant nothing to you now. You lay there, watching the firelight twist into grotesque shapes against the ceiling beams, your flesh still tight with a lingering, throbbing warmth. He slid back beside you with sluggish indifference, talking into the quiet. dark. Perhaps he took you once or twice more, but your mind had already drifted far beyond his reach.
Yet when his muffled groans and his finely sculpted form finally smoothed into the heavy, rhythmic breathing of deep slumber, the distant shouts from the taverns in the streets of King’s Landing, breaking through the midnight air, brought you back to yourself. The pale moonlight crept through the shifting curtains, casting a long shadow that seemed to rouse your senses. Perhaps the hour had come at last. You slipped slowly from beneath the prince's heavy arms, he stirred a little, but did not wake. A pain as sharp as a sudden dagger-thrust shot through your body. Your hand frantically flew to your stomach, drawing yourself up to look upon the small vial hidden just behind the trencher of food he had left untouched.
