章 78: Battle of Summerhall
(Rhaegon's POV)
"Fuck's sake." I said as I dodged arrows while I ran back to the castle
I turned around and stopped, forgetting something crucial in the heat of this shitfest.
"Morghul!! Do not kill our men!" I shouted in High-Valryrian, "The rest that are advancing, get them!"
I then deflected a flaming arrow that was flying at me as I felt the singing heat.
"Men!!!" I called to my soldiers, "Stay behind Morghul! Do not charge towards the Castle! Defensive position! You do NOT want to get burned!!"
"W-Why would you leave the Dragon on its own, my prince!!" one of the soldiers cried as he hid behind a barrel
I looked at him, "Wasn't I just told that the south side was breached???" I said with a frown, "Hold the line! Morghul is going to scatter them!"
I turned around and began to run inside.
One would think that leaving Morghul alone to fight is a dumb idea, considering he could cause harm to my mind. And yes, that's true, but only because it's dark and he can get confused. But Morghul's bond with me is strong, and he's rather intelligent. He has a basic understanding that those advancing towards the castle are our enemies and those that are fighting them are our allies.
As I made my way inside, I heard shouting and fighting. I ran down the halls, the fighting was heard down towards the main hall.
"Fuck!" I said as I picked up the pace, "This is some bullshit!!"
I burst through the doors and saw several soldiers fighting against the Burning Stag ones. I noticed some men were wielding flaming swords, wearing bright red rags over their armor.
I rushed at them, sliding down and swinging my sword, cutting their legs.
"Aghh!" they shouted as they collapsed
I stood up and parried a flaming sword, kicking the fucker in the chest and sent him flying back.
I dodged a couple of other men swinging their swords at me, countering with my own swings, feeling Fury cut against their armor and flesh with ease.
As they dropped, I looked at my men, "Where are The Snakes?" I asked
They shrugged, "We don't know, My Prince." He said, "The maids and Lord Dondariion are safe, Lord Dondarrion is injured, they're tending to his wounds."
Suddenly, I heard the crack of the whip and a loud shout.
"Aghh!" I heard someone cry out
I turned to see a red clothed soldier collapse as his face was cut open. Tyene then rushed at him, slitting his throat with her daggers before straightening up and spitting down at the man.
I noticed that Obara was in the corner of the room, impaling two soldiers against the wall at the same time, her wicked smirk unsettling me.
"Everyone okay?" I called
Nymeria walked into view, "Yes, love, the maids are safe." She said as she swung her whip at incoming soldiers
The whip cracked like thunder, a chunk of the soldier's face flew off. Tyene rushed and slashed at the second soldier's leg, dropping him instantly.
"You fuckers!" She yelled, "I like this place! You're not ruining it!!"
I heard as several more soldiers barged into the room, shouting loudly.
"Fuck." I said as I rushed towards them
I parried one of them wielding a sword, immediately swinging at his neck, cutting it clean off as I spun around, swinging at the second one and cutting him in the chest.
I then saw as one of them was about to swing his axe but he was suddenly impaled with a spear.
I glanced back to see Obara standing there, giving me a wink, "Can't lose you, lover.' She smirked
"Hmph." I said as I dodged two more soldiers swinging at me and parried their follow ups
I countered with my own swings cutting them down with ease. Parrying more as I saw Tyene rushed past me and swinging her daggers at the others, I kicked them away with ease and then I pulled Obara's spear out of the man's chest that she killed.
I tossed it to her as she approached, "You girls okay?" I asked
She nodded, "I'm having fun." She said, "To think we'd end up killing here after all."
Nymeria's whip cracked loudly, and the pained shouts of several men in agony followed. I saw that she was relentlessly striking at some soldiers the she kept at a distance as Tyene blindsided them with her daggers, finishing them off.
"These damned bastards..." I growled as I walked forward, catching something in the corner of my eye
I turned to see a young maid curled up behind some barrels that were sitting there in the middle of the room, for some reason. I think they must've meant to take them to the kitchens or storage rooms but ended up leaving them here after the attack started.
She looked at me, her blue eyes staring right at me, "M-M-My Prince.." She said with tears in her eyes as she covered her ears
I narrowed my eyes, "Wait..." I said as I recognized, "Rhea? Rhea Storm? What are you doing here?"
As I asked that, we were rushed by more soldiers. I parried incoming swords as Obara stabbed the men, killing them instantly, pulling the spear out and spinning, slashing at the incoming ones.
I parried and countered at the others, cutting them down as my valyrian steel sword ran through their armor like butter.
"M-My Prince!" I heard Rhea say as she looked at me, "P-P-Princess Shaena sent me here, she wanted me to keep the castle clean for you....m-m-my work was to start so I can be the head of the maids here..."
I scowled, "Impeccable timing, Rhea! There's a whole bloody mess here, you got your work cut out for you!" I shouted as I dodged more steel
I watched Obara fight a couple of feet away from me, there was nearly no end to the oncoming men, they were easily getting killed by us.
"I-I-I'm scared, My Prince!" Rhea cried
I dodged an axe and cut the soldier's arm off, "Keep your head down and stay out of sight!" I told her, "You'll be fine!"
"I don't wanna die!" She replied
"You're not going to die, Rhea, calm down!" I said as I parried several soldiers' swords, taking a step back, "Just stay down and you'll be fine!"
As I countered with slashes and ripostes, dropping them down and feeling the blood pool all over the floor, I caught a glimpse of Rhea huddled down, looking at me.
"P-Prince Rhaegon, I have something I need to tell you!" She said with a shaky voice
"What is it?" I said as I blocked a flaming sword, "I don't wanna hear it if has to do with my Mother, not right now! I don't wanna worry!"
I pushed the soldier off and swung my sword down, cutting through his left side, killing him instantly.
"No!" Rhea cried, "I...I don't wanna die without telling you!"
"You're not going to die, I already told you!" I shouted as more men kept coming
They didn't fucking stop, holy shit.
"N-No, it's not that!" She cried, "Please, just hear me out, My Prince!"
"What is it, dammit?!" I shouted as I parried more steel and spun around, slashing through flesh, "Tell me, fuck's sake!"
"I'm your sister!!!" She cried loudly
I swung my sword down at a man's skull, splitting it open as blood splattered all over my face, "H-Huh?" I said as I looked at her, "What did you say?!"
Rhea was crying, covering her ears, "I'm your Bastard Sister!" She said, "Lord Robert is my Father! Your mother found out a few years ago and when she found me, she took me in!"
I scowled as I thrust my blade into the chest of a soldier, "Are you fucking serious right now, Rhea?!" I yelled, "Is now the time to say this? I'm in the middle of creating a bloodbath and you tell me this shit!"
"I'm sorry, My Prince!" She said, "I...I just don't want you to find out after I die!"
"Ha!" I heard Obara laugh, "I knew she looked like you!"
"You owe me 5 gold dragons, Tyene." Nymeria said
"Fuck!" Tyene cursed
I looked at them, "You...." I said, "You knew???"
Nymeria took a step back and shrugged, "We had a feeling. She looks exactly like you and your Father." She said with a chuckle, "You weren't going to believe it if we said something."
I sighed as I looked up, "Fuck's sake..." I muttered, "This is adding to my fucking stress!! Dammit, Rhea!!"
"I'm sorry!" She cried
I ran over to her and grabbed her by the arm, pulling her up, "You're not going to fucking die." I said, "Tyene! Get over here!"
Tyene was cutting several men down with her daggers, "What?" She called
I pulled Rhea alongside me as she looked down, a scared look on her face, "Keep this one safe, take her to one of the rooms!!"
"I'm having fun here!" She complained
"Do it, dammit!" I shouted
"Ugghh!!" She said as she avoided some swords and rolled away
Nymeria struck at the soldiers with her whip, defending her sister as Tyene ran towards me.
"Come on, Storm." She said as she grabbed Rhea's arm, "Let's go."
Rhea looked at me with a worried look, "M-My Prince."
I gave her a reassuring smile, "Relax." I said,
"Everything's going to be fine."
