House of The Dragon-A God Amongst Men-Chapter 185: A Knight’s Conspiracy

(Third Person POV)

In the shadows of the City's buildings, several men were gathered, wearing cloaks as they avoided the guards patrolling the streets.

One of them pulled his hood down and looked around, "Are we in the clear?" He asked, "Nobody followed us?"

"I don't think so." another said

"Good." He said, "We need to discuss our next course of action. Have you seen what happened in the Feast? Everyone is speaking about what happened! Vile sorcery!"

These were Knights, members of Houses all over the Realm who had gathered in King's Landing for the sole purpose of figuring out what was happening with the Trinity. They are fierce followers of the Faith of The Seven, claiming that The Trinity was an abomination to the natural order.

The others nodded, "Yes. This is nothing but pure blasphemy against the gods." another said, "That vile man, Drakken, is merely a sorcerer with the power to trick our minds!"

"He is solely responsible for all of the tragedies that have befallen the Realm." one of them said, "He should not be allowed to live. What has the Crown done? His Grace, how long is he going to sit around and do nothing?!"

"I heard there was an opportunity to kill Drakken, and he took it." Another man said, a scowl on his face, "But it did not work."

"There will be a time when he could be killed!" One of them said, "But we should not focus on that! It is that false religion we should focus on. The Trinity!"

"Agreed." another Knight said with a nod, "They have been growing in followers, and even Septon Barth is beginning to take notice. As the Hand of The King, he should be able to have some influence. We should work with him, figure out what we could do about this. There are whispers about Trinity worship in the City."

"The Stormlands and Riverlands have the most followers." One said, "Storm Shrines erected to worship that abomination of a creature that plunged the whole land into a massive storm. Sorcery, all of it!"

"If it is sorcery, perhaps the Shrines are merely a way to draw power and cause all of these...tricks..." Another said, "We need to take them down, destroy them! Any shrine that has to do with the Trinity, they are blasphemous, they must be eradicated!"

"We need to act." a knight said, "We need to convince His Grace to do something. He has the power of Balerion, The Black Dread, we can definitely destroy the Trinity, weaken the Duskguard and take back our Realm!!"

They then heard a sound behind them, causing them to turn around in haste and draw their swords.

"Who is there!!" one of the bellowed

They saw that it was a woman, wearing a brown dress, her hair was long and black, an alluring gaze to them.

"A woman?" another Knight said, "Begone!"

The woman smiled and gestured them over, "Brave Knights, you are conspiring against the Trinity?" She asked, "I happen to know a few people who know where there is a Shrine being built here in the City."

"What?!' one of them stepped forward, "Tell us now!"

"You need to follow." She said with a chuckle, "And be nice, otherwise, I will not tell you a thing~"

"Very well." the Knights sheathed their sword, "Woman, know that you will be doing the gods a service by leading us to this Shrine."

"Come." She said as she turned around,

"I'll lead you to her, she who knows the truth."

**********

The Knights followed the woman inside a building at the edge of the building, one that was boarded up.

"This looks suspicious enough." one of the Knights said, "Are you certain that the people who have the information are here?"

"Oh yes." The woman said with a smile, "They are here."

As they went inside, she led them to the back of the building, inside a room that was lit up by candles.

They all gathered at the entrance of the room, looking around as the woman walked to the end.

"Who-" one of them said as they looked at who was sitting on the couch

Sitting down, with her legs crossed and giving them a smirk, was Saera Targaryen. She was holding a cup of wine in her hand, looking at the men with her piercing purple eyes.

"P-Princess Saera!" one of the Knights said, "What are you doing here-"

"Hello, men." She said with a smug smirk, "Do you truly think you'd get away with whatever it is you were going to pull? Filthy mongrels, know your place."

They were all pushed down by an invisible force, forced to their knees as the door behind them closed shut.

"W-What?!" One of them exclaimed as they began to hear footsteps

"Well...." Drakken's voice said as he emerged from the shadows, his red eyes glowing, "You lot are the ones conspiring, hm?"

They looked at him with pure shock, "Y-You!!" one of them shouted, "Drakken!!!"

Drakken held a knife in his hand as he walked to the one in front, "Saera." He said, "Come."

Saera placed the cup down and stood up, walking over to Drakken, "Yes, Love~?" She said with a smile

Drakken handed her the knife, "Do you want to?" He asked her, "You wish to drive this blade into this man's throat?"

Saera took the knife and held it in her hands, "You...." She said, "You mean it?"

Drakken nodded, "Why wouldn't i?"

She looked at the man in front of her, "Just....drive it into his throat...."

"P-Princess, you have been corrupted by this vile sorcerer!" The knight said, "You....you do not want to do this!!"

All of them struggled against Drakken's Telekinesis, but to no avail. Drakken's hold was more than firm, it was ironclad. There was nothing they could do against his control, they were simply helpless.

Saera stepped in front of Drakken and grabbed the back of his head as she aimed the knife at him, "You....." She said with a fierce look in her eyes, "You dare conspire against my man? Against my Drakken? You.....wait, love, how do I do it?"

Drakken leaned against her from behind, grabbing her left arm gently, which she was using to hold the man's head and gently held her right hand, which was holding the knife.

"Just....." Drakken guided Saera's hand, slowly moving the knife closer to his throat, "Like this....."

Saera nodded, "Okay...."

"The blade is sharp." Drakken said, "You can drive it slowly in his throat and he will suffer.....or....."

He moved her hand back, a good distance from his throat, which took her by surprise.

"Swift and lethal...." Drakken said, "Just plunge it into his throat...for the first time, the faster you do it....the better the thrill, trust me....."

Drakken pressed himself more against her, which caused Saera to get hotter, feeling aroused by this situation.

"Oh..." She said, "So I just.....quickly?"

"W-Wait!" the man said, "P-Princess! Don't do this! I beg of you!!"

"Drakken, you beast! You corrupted her!!" another exclaimed, "His Grace will not be happy about this."

Drakken ignored them and looked at Saera, a bit absorbed in the moment.

"If you wish." Drakken leaned down and said softly to her ear, "Whatever it is you desire, Saera."

Without thinking much, Saera swiftly plunged the blade into the man's throat, blood spraying out briefly and staining her hands as she widened her eyes in surprise. The man struggled to breathe as blood poured out of the wound and flowed down his throat and to his chest, his eyes widened in pure shock.

"O-Oh...." Saera said as she pulled the blade out, not knowing how to process this, "I....I did it...."

Drakken lifted her hand up, "Well done...." He said, "You have taken your first life....directly....."

Saera looked at the blood on the blade, "I did...."

Drakken leaned in and smelled her neck, "That did a good thing to your scent....your body is responding well to this...." He said with a smirk, "Your heart is beating rapidly....the thrill...you feel it..."

Saera looked at him, "Yes, Love...it feels...."

The two of them leaned their faces close to each other, their lips briefly making contact as Saera opened her mouth to let out a soft moan, her entire body being filled with an exhilaration she had not felt before.

Drakken did not know why this was the case with him, it was as if someone finally resonated with him. He felt.....pulled towards Saera, it was strange for him.

Saera leaned to his face and licked his cheek with her tongue, "Oh, lover...." She said, "This feeling....I am getting hotter.....fuck...."

"W-What...." one of the Knights said, "What sick perversion is this? Your Father will-"

The man's head exploded violently, blood and pieces of his brain flying everywhere, staining his comrades who were simply staring with shocked faces.

Drakken leaned in and gently bit Saera's lip as he had his hand extended, "This feels....right...." He said with a smirk, "How about we have some fun, Saera?"

"Yes..." She said as she lifted her leg and pressed her crotch against his, "I brought these mongrels to you, My Love...I want you to crush them with your bare hands....I wish to see them distorted with despair....Mmm~ And I want you to fuck me good afterwards~~"

Drakken flicked his hand and one of them was flung and pinned to the ceiling, "W-What?!" the man exclaimed, "N-No!!"

Drakken leaned in and kissed Saera's neck, "Mhm." He said, "Yes, whatever you want, Saera. I will ravage you after I rip them apart....."

"Just like they deserve."
