Bab 75: Rhaegon and The Sand Snakes II
(Rhaegon's POV)
"What did I say?!" I exclaimed, "What. Did. I. Say? No fucking Killing!!!"
Obara looked away as she leaned against a table, "Yea. And what of it?"
We were in a room inside the inn at Molestown. I had come to see what was taking them so long and I came to find out they committed a Murder. The Barkeep told me about it with little to no reaction, saying that they always found the woman to be strange.
"What of it?" I said as I rubbed my temples, "You committed fucking murder....I can't believe you would go against my wishes!"
I turned around and walked to Tyene and Nymeria who sat on the beds, they had serious looks on their faces.
I looked at Nymeria, "You encouraged this?" I asked, "I thought you of the three would respect my wishes..."
She frowned, "She raped you, Rhaegon." She said softly, "We weren't going to let that go."
I sighed, "I didn't say she did-"
"She told us." Tyene said, "Just straight to our faces, she just flaunted the fact."
Nymeria reached for my hand, "If you want to talk about it-"
"No." I pulled away, "I told you three not to cause any trouble yet you casually murder a person without my say so. Do you really have any idea the kind of trouble that could cause? You murder the wrong person and I'll have to cover for you, I'd have to fight for you, I'd have to kill for you!"
She raised an eyebrow, "Just like we did...."
"What you did was Murder." I said, "I didn't want this."
"Justice." Obara said
I turned to look at her, "What?"
She stepped up to me, a serious look on her face, "We avenged you." She said seriously, "Nobody harms you without us doing anything about."
"You.....avenged me?" I said with a raised eyebrow, "I didn't ask you to."
"But we did it." She said with an angry frown on her face, "You'd do the same for us, right? You'd burn down any fucker that touches us with Morghul, right?"
I sighed, "That's not the po-"
"It's exactly the point!!" Obara said as she grabbed me by the collar, "What good are we to you when we can't do something like this for you?! She raped you, Rhaegon! That's not right!! And you can't ignore the fact that she needed the punishment she fucking got!!"
"I don't condone murder...." I said seriously
"It wasn't murder." She said, "It was vengeance."
"Vengeance?" I said
She leaned closer to me, "You're mine, Rhaegon, ours." She said, "Anyone that dares hurt you in any way, I'd kill them. If I could do it again to that whore, I would.....a hundred times over."
"Rhaegon." I heard Nymeria said, "I know it was probably something you didn't want to talk about....but....."
I pulled away from Obara as I looked at her, "Enough." I said, "I won't talk about it. Did you burn the body?"
"We did." Tyene said, "Well, I did, because 'Tyene didn't do anything to avenge Rhaegon', like these two say."
"You didn't." Obara said
"I wanted to poison her!" Tyene exclaimed
I looked at Nymeria and Tyene, "You did this for me?" I asked
Nymeria stood up, "Yes..." She said placing her hand on my chest, "Rhaegon....you can always talk to us....I..."
"Is that so?" I eyed her up and down
I never once wanted to be reminded of what had happened back then. But while I didn't agree with what just went down, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. Almost like I was glad that the woman was dead. Was it wrong of me?
Father told me to kill her if I ever saw her again. Why didn't I? Was I weak? Did I hesitate?
Maybe I have too many things on my mind.
"Tyene." I said
"Yes?" She called
"Close the door and lock it." I said, "We'll stay the Night."
"And talk."
*****************************************
I walked through the snow and towards Morghul, who was lifting his head up and rumbling. The Three were slowly walking behind me as my dragon shook the snow off his neck.
"Wow, we ought to kill more whores on his behalf." I heard Tyene said, "I can hardly walk right now."
"Shut up." I rolled my eyes, "We're getting out of here. Time to go home."
"Finally. Some warmth of the south." Obara said
"Wait." Nymeria said as she grabbed my hand
I stopped and looked at her, "What?"
She pulled me down and kissed me, taking me by surprise, wrapping her arms around my neck. I felt her warmth as she pressed her body against mine and I instinctively wrapped one arm around her waist.
"Oh!" I heard Tyene say
"Greedy bitch, we just had him for the whole night." Obara scoffed
Nymeria pulled away, "Rhaegon..." She said softly, "I'm sorry....I just.....we love you..."
I blinked, "O-Okay..." I said as I looked at her, "Forget it."
"I'm serious." She said with a frown, "You can talk to us..you can talk to me about it."
I shook my head, "No." I said, "Let's just go home."
"Yea, let's." Obara said as she walked past me and slapped me on the rear, "Lover."
I straightened up and sighed, "This fucking..." I muttered
I turned around and saw Morghul was fully standing up, looking at us as he vocalized loudly. He slowly walked towards us, the snow slowly falling from his scales.
"You see what I got to deal with, friend?" I said in High-Valyrian
Morghul looked at me and tilted his head, rumbling deeply. His eyes darted between and the Snakes as I walked up to him. He then lowered himself, getting ready for us to mount him.
"I want to be behind him." Tyene said
"No, you already did so on the way here." Obara said, "It's my turn."
"No, it's mine, Obara." Nymeria said
I sighed, "Just get on before he loses patience." I said, "We need to go back-"
I felt a cold chill on the back of my neck, colder than the North's cold.
I turned around, seeing a figure in the distance, draped in a black veil.
"What?" I said as my vision became a bit blurry
"Zaldrizes Jaes will come for you...." A distorted voice said in the back of my mind, "Just you wait, Rhaegon Baratheon..."
"Rhaegon?" I heard Nymeria call out
I looked up to see them mounted on Morghul's saddle as he vocalized loudly.
"What is it?" Obara asked
I shook my head, "Nothing." I said, "Let's go."

[Summerhall, Stormlands]
(Third Person POV)
"Lord Dondarrion!" one of the servants called out for the Castellan
"Yes?" Lord Dondarrion said
"My Lord." the servant said, "A small army is approaching, they head for Summerhall!"
He raised an eyebrow, "Whose?" He said, "How many?"
"Around two thousand men." the servant said, "Our men claim they bear a burning stag in their banner."
He narrowed his eyes, "That's Stannis's personal sigil that was refused by Lord Robert." He said, "What does he want?!"
Another servant quickly hurried over to him, "Milord!" He exclaimed, "A rider from the small army delivered a letter, for your eyes only!"
He handed the Castellan the letter and Lord Dondarrion opened it.
It read:
"Castellan of Summerhall,
This is Stannis Baratheon, The Lord of Light's chosen.
I demand you surrender the castle to me and my men. You don't have the men to defend Summerhall and Rhaegon and his dragon are not present. I would rather do what I came here to do with no bloodshed. You have my word that no defilement will happen to any women or child currently working for my Nephew.
I am here for The Ember of Light."
Lord Dondarrion crumpled the letter, "Stannis, that fucking fool!!!" He growled as he threw it at the ground, "Who the hell does he think he is? And what does he think this is?! This isn't some random castle he can just take! This is Summerhall, the place of the Dragon's Rebirth!!"
He looked over to a maid who happened to be in the room. She had black hair and blue eyes, which he immediately recognized.
"You!" He called, "What are you doing here of all places? Rhea Storm!"
The young maid froze as she had a cup in her hand, "I...." She said, "T-The Princess told me I should stay in the Prince's home while he was away....to make sure things are...cozy?"
Lord Dondarrion narrowed his eyes, "Terrible timing, girl." He said, "We're about to go under siege. Call for the Knights at the barracks! Surround the Castle! Now! We won't let Stannis take this place without a fight. Send a Raven for Storm's End and one for King's Landing."
"This is a declaration of War."
