The Dragons That Come Finale:
With The Princess, the Lady Arryn and Hightower; The Three Great ladies of the court were busy eating cookies. And you had half a mind to join them.
You saw that the three great ladies of court were eating cookies, being as far away from the chaos as they could be without getting away from the court and the party that was going on. "Are the cookies good?" You asked as you looked at the three ladies.
The most ecstatic and none hiding of their emotions was Lady Arryn. She was… well for the lack of better words, ecstatic to see you, and she smiled brightly as she curtsied. "Prince Lucien." She then stuffed her face with a cookie. "Try owone." She said as she handed over a sugary treat.
You examined it for a moment before you bow your head to the other two ladies. "Lady Alicent, Princess."
Both curtsied, but they chose to say nothing, as if waiting for you to eat the cookie that Jeyne was offering, before continuing. You understood that, and took it, and took a bite. It had been a cookie freshly made, still warm and doughy, still resting in a natural shape that it was made in. Then there was the explosion of flavor from the sugar and… Cinnamon? It was tasty, extremely tasty.
As you finished it with a swallow, Jeyne beamed with pride. "Like it?" She asked.
"Yes." You replied as you took a moment to realize what she was saying. "You made this?"
Her smile was like staring at the moon. "Yes." She was so happy that she said that.
"I didn't know you could bake?" You asked.
Jeyne then smiled more. "Even I have things I do for fun. That many below me may find it strange, even when it is unbecoming of a lady of my station."
At that, you saw the situation and the deeper moment, than Alicent spoke. "So Lucien, how goes the city?"
"Safer." You replied with little hesitation.
That was not a satisfying answer for them. "Come on Lucien, what she really means is, do you think the city is finally gaining the life that it used to have?" Rhaenyra asked as she saved her friend from embarrassment.
You then took a breath. "Much of the city is a slimy, shit-stained shithole." You replied with anger in your tone. "The sewer system that the king talked about is just that. Talk, so we have to wade through a river of shit during our patrols, from dangerous men and dangerous knives." You narrowed your eyes. "The city is a feasting mouth trying to swallow us whole."
You then saw their faces, the fear in their eyes as you let out a small smile. "But don't worry, I deal with monsters all the time, and this beast will be slayed soon enough."
At that, the mood seemed to lighten. And you realized something. They were looking at the cloak. "Wonder why it's onyx on the inside?"
Jeyne nodded.
You smiled. "So that when the monsters come out, they will see that they are not the scariest things in the dark."
Jeyne then clapped her hands at that, seemingly loving the dangerous face you put on. And the other two girls looked like they were swooping.
Was it swooping or swooing? You really didn't know, but they were eyeing you like a criminal eying a piece of ham.
They liked that you were kind and dangerous all the same time… Dear Gods, you were becoming like Daemon. "So, does my presence please you, my ladies?"
"I hope you will be able to keep us safe in the city when we go out?" Jeyne whispered, before covering her mouth.
Then you smirked. "Planning a little dalliance My Ladies?" You asked.
The princess was quick to play damage control. "Of course not!" She stammered.
Alicent shook her head. "No point in lying, Rhaenyra."
"We just want to see a festival and the nightlife." Jeyne said. "We want to see some real street performances. And eat gutter food!"
You shook your head. "Yes, but then again, it is dangerous at night, especially at night my ladies." You then glared at them "If you do go out, stick to the main roads, and spend time in the Street of Silk… and if you get scared, go to the Brothel 'Heavenly Tear' And ask for Jasper."
"Whose Jasper?" Alicent asked.
"Better you don't know. He'll help you get to Watchmen. If you tell them Jasper sent you, they will escort you to the Red Keep."
You then bowed your head. "Stay safe in the city."
As you walked away, you saw Mushroom slip you a not into your pouch, and you looked at it.
Sealed… from The Bat?
You looked at it and realized it was intercepted.
You crumpled it up and threw it into a pyre. Seems that Mushroom was on the trail. Time to get to work.
