Chapter 13: Flea-Bottom
(Rhaegon's POV)
"That is quite the fancy new blade." Littlefinger said as he looked up from his desk, "Don't tell me, it's Valyrian Steel."
I was at one of his whore-houses, the morrow after my talk with the King. He had called me forth to discuss his newfound discoveries of the rumors placed on my cousin the Princess.
"Hm." I said as I looked around the room, "Don't pretend you were not aware of this, Baelish."
He chuckled, "Yes, it was Lord Tywin's idea." He said, "He's the one who called the smith and I handled the payments. King Rhaegar is the one who said it must be a bastard sword and had it fashioned to your liking. You wielded your old blade with such ferocity and care ever since it was gifted to you by Ser Arthur."
"It pains me to part from it." I said as I looked to my right and saw some women wearing see-through dresses, "Hm...."
Baelish chuckled, "Should I interest you in my.....ladies?" He said standing from his seat, "I assure you....they're either fresh or....well, experienced, whatever it is you prefer."
I looked at him, "You're a conniving little roach, Lord Baelish." I said
He frowned, "I am afraid I do not understand." He said
"You ask me to meet you here in your.....establishment.....on a street where everyone can see who comes and goes, in the morrow of all times." I said as I looked around and saw all the 'treasures' he had in here, "Surely you don't want the people to know that I, Ser Rhaegon, undertook such....depravities."
"Of course not, Ser." He said as he placed his hand on his chest as he walked around the desk, "This place here.....this is where I can freely discuss matters without the ears of the Spider. You see, you entrusted me with finding out who or what spread said rumors you mentioned."
I nodded, "Mhm."
"But in the meantime, I would offer my services....rather....my girls' services...." He said as he gestured at them
One of them walked over to me and placed her hand on my chest, "A Dragonrider..." She said, "I would like to ride this....dragon..."
She had brown hair and blue eyes, was quite beautiful to say the least. I saw as she ran her hand down towards my crotch and I immediately grabbed it.
"Careful where you touch." I told her, "I did not come here to fuck."
I gently moved her to the side and I stepped towards Baelish as I placed my hand on the handle of my sword.
"It was a worthy effort." Baelish chuckled
"You think me a fool, Lord Baelish?" I said, "Distract me from the actual matters I came to discuss. Do you think I would so gladly partake in such debauchery under your roof, allowing myself to be vulnerable to any sort of blades and poison?"
He shook his head, "Ser Rhaegon, I meant no offense." He said, "Quite the contrary, I seek your favor, that is all. You see, prior to his marriage to the Princess Shaena, your Father was quite indulgent in the pleasures of establishments like this one. I figured that since you are his son and quite similar to hi-"
"Quiet." I said, "My Father is a changed man, he is loyal to my mother. Anyways, what news do you have for me?"
He snapped his fingers and gestured his whores away as he looked at me, "I hope this will leave me in your good graces." He said as the women left the room, "I have investigated who would say such things about the Princess and have located two of the few sources. They're in Flea-Bottom, a couple of Mercenaries that like to spend their time in betting houses. There's an establishment there, a fighting ring....."
I raised an eyebrow, "A fighting ring?"
He nodded, "Children." He said, "I just recently discovered its existence."
I narrowed my eyes, "Children?"
"Terrible thing." He said, "I'll bring this to light with His Grace and hopefully we can have this dissolved. I do, however, there are a few criminal leaders that will resist."
"Nonsense." I said, "Give the names of the mercenaries that spoke these rumors and I'll cut them down."
"Very well." He said with a smile, "Allen and Bronn."
"Hm." I said, "Where exactly in Flea-Bottom are they?"
"I'll bring them to justice today."
********************************************************
"Who are you supposed to be?" one of the men standing in front of the building Littlefinger sent me to said
I was wearing a cloak that concealed my clothes, "Open the door and let me through." I said, "I am looking for Allen and Bronn."
"They ain't expecting anyone." He said seriously, "I suggest you bugger off."
I shook my head, "Cannot do that." I said, "You see I was sent here by an important client of theirs."
"Who?" He said
"Littlefinger." I said
"Littlefinger? They haven't worked for him in months, what could he want?" He said, "You....get lost!"
He grabbed me by the shoulder but I immediately punched him in the nose, breaking it and causing him to stumble towards the door.
"Sorry, cannot do that." I said as clutched his face, "You ought to let me through."
I saw that there lots of blood coming out of his nose as he glared at me, "Bastard!"
"That word is why I am here." I said as I grabbed the collar of his shirt, "Tell Allen and Bronn that I wish to speak with them, now."
I then pushed him down as he whimpered in pain.
"Well well." I heard a deep voice say, "If it isn't the Boy-Knight."
I turned to see the behemoth of a man standing in the street, around 8 men beside him. He was wearing his uniform, carrying the sigil of his House as he had his helmet at his side. His ugly mug looking straight me which infuriated me.
"Clegane." I said as I narrowed my eyes, "What are you doing here?"
"Baratheon." The Mountain said, "Out the way, if you wish to live."
"Ser Clegane..." the man I punched said, "W-Who.....this one is looking for Allen and Bronn."
"Tell them to leave the city." Clegane said, "I'll handle this one."
I scowled, "You know them?" I said as placed my hand on my blade's handle beneath the cloak, "What's your business with them?"
Clegan took a step forward, "That is of no concern of you, boy." He said, "I suggest you leave if you know what's best for you."
If The Mountain knows the mercenaries that called my cousin a bastard, then he must be involved. He wouldn't tell them to leave the city if he wasn't. I mean, why else would I be looking for the two fuckers.
I raised an eyebrow, "Or what?"
He nodded at one of his men as two stepped forward and drew their blades, "You die." He said seriously, "We'll gut you open and parade your corpse in the city. Might even feed it to your dragon."
I drew my blade and pointed it at him, "Is that a threat? I shall have your head." I said seriously
"Shiny new sword." He said with a smirk, "I think I'll have it after I rip it off your lifeless body."
"Come and get it, then." I said
Without warning, the two men charged at me with their swords drawn, swinging at me.
I parried the first one as I dodged the second one, swinging my blade at the first one's arm, cutting clean through, and watched as it fell off his body, blood spewing out everywhere.
"Ahhh!!!" He screamed in pain as he collapsed
The second one faltered, stopping for a second as he saw this. Big mistake.
I plunged my valyrian-steel blade through his chest and he instantly dropped his blade, widening his eyes in horror as I pulled it out swiftly.
Three more men drew their swords, charging at me as I watched Clegane watch from he stood. One by one, they swung their swords only for me to parry them and push them away with my shoulders, throwing them on the ground.
One of them got back up and thrust his sword at me only for me to dodge and do the same, stabbing him through the eye as I got closer to his body. I watched as blood exploded everywhere as I slashed my sword outwards, causing him to collapse.
Another one swung his sword yet again, with a backhanded slash, I blocked it then kicked him in the knee, buckling him to the ground, and then swung my blade at his neck, cutting his head clean off. I saw his lifeless body slowly drop to the ground as his head rolled on the ground.
The third one from the three that attacked me second merely stared at this, his eyes full of shock and fear. I had cut down four of his comrades with ease, leaving him with his sword drawn.
"Come on." I said as I swung my blade at him, "Fight!"
He blocked it but the force of my swing pushed him back, causing him to stumble and fall down. As he fell on his ass, I stomped on his knee and heard a loud crack.
"Aghh!!!" He yelped in pain and let go of his blade
"Tch," I said as I kicked him in the face and knocked him unconscious
I then reached for a dagger that I had strapped on my belt, pulled it out, flipped it in the air, caught it by its blade, and threw it straight at the face of the man next to Clegane. It hit him straight between the eyes and the blade pierced clean through, dropping him instantly.
"Six." I said as I pointed my blade at Clegane, "Will you fight me yourself, Clegane? Or will you watch your weak little men die in vain?"
"Hm." Clegane said as he dropped his helm on the ground, "Sword."
One of the remaining men was holding Clegane's greatsword and offered it to him. The Mountain drew the massive blade from its sheath as he gave me a vicious glare.
He then slowly walked towards me and raised his sword, huffing heavily as veins popped on his forehead. He was beginning to get angry, good.
I assumed a stance as I slowly walked to my right, circling him as I neared where his men were.
"There you go...." I said with a smile as I held my sword with both hands, "Oh!"
I dodged a sword swing from one of his remaining men and countered with another one of my own, cutting him in the stomach and watching as he dropped down.
As this happened, Clegane lunged at me, swinging his sword horizontally with tremendous force.
I blocked the blade, feeling my entire bones rattle to the force. He was powerful, yes, but I was able to relent.
I pushed the blade away as he stepped back, "Heh." I said as I swung my blade
He blocked several of my slashes, taking steps back as he reared his sword back and aimed for a thrust.
As he did this, I heard the footstep of his remaining man, and immediately spun to block his sword swing, grabbing him by the shoulder and pushing him down to the ground with great force.
"Ah!" He yelped
I then parried Clegane's thrust, side-stepping and preparing for a counter, only for him to pull his sword back and block my slash at his face.
I took a step back and readied my sword, "You're not bad." I said
"Hmph." He said as he looked at me
I watched as the man I threw on the ground stood up and swung his blade at me. I merely blocked it and punched him in the face, staggering him as he dropped his blade on the ground.
"Tch." I said, "These are your men, Clegane? Pathetic!!"
I then plunged my sword into the man's chest, killing him.
As I pulled my blade out of his chest, I looked over at Clegane who's eyes were bloodshot red, infuriated at the sight of his men being slaughtered.
I pointed my sword at him, "Come, Clegane." I said,
"I shall put you in the ground."
