Arthur went downstairs and saw marelyn cleaning a table "I need to talk with you"
"I'm working Arthur, if you have something to say, say it now"
"I want to talk to you privately upstairs" Arthur gave her a serious look
Marelyn frowned "come on then"
When they reached his room, Arthur shut the door and locked it, went over to his bed, and picked up a candle.
"is it true," Arthur said
his mother looked at him "What is"
"I heard everything, tell me is it true"
Marelyn looked down at her feet "Y-yes'
" Why," Arthur said angrily "why am I here and not in Westeros"
"Arthur they would've killed you"
"Your talking nonsense," said arthur
"You're not a Targaryen, Arthur"
'π πππ ππππ πππππ πππππ πππ πππ ππππ ππ;
Arthur looked at his mother then at the candle
"I am a Targaryen," Arthur said as he placed his hands on top of the fire
marelyn was gonna stop him, but she saw he wasn't feeling any pain.
"that isn't what I meant"
"What did you mean then!!" Arthur yelled as he extinguished the fire with his fingers.
"You're not a Targaryen, but a blackfyre"
'π©ππππππππ?;
"What do you mean?" said arthur confused by her words
"sit down arthur ill explain"
meralyn explained his heritage, she told him about daemon blackfyre and the blackfyre rebellions
She told him about his mother Serra blackfyre and how she was forced to leave the city because of a man named illyrio mopatis
"W-who was my father?"
meralyn looked at arthur and said "When Serra was showing signs of pregnancy, I told her who was the father, she said a man came to her, he had silver hair and violet eyes proclaiming that he was the infant son of aerion Targaryen, Serra said that she didn't want to sleep with him at first, but he charmed her and after one night she got pregnant and the man left, never to be seen again"
Meralyn looked down sad "She drank moon tea with tansy to get rid of you but you wouldn't go"
"she drank it day and night, but she drank too much, I came to her side asking why she wanted him gone, She said her child was gonna die like the others. . .,"
meralyn stopped "Arthur you see Serra was . . . like me and had many children but they all died after birth"
Arthur thought of this and shed a tear, not because of sadness but because of joy,
joy that he lived
meralyn continued "After seeing that moon tea and tansy didn't affect her baby, she decided to keep you. . ." Meralyn stopped
"what happened!" Arthur said
Marelyn looked down "Arthur have you ever wondered where you got that scar from"
Arthur was dumbfounded "from the sealords menagerie?"
"no Arthur the one near your heart"
Arthur took off his shirt and looked at his chest he saw a big scar from the top left of his chest to the bottom right and by his heart was a small scar "That one?" Arthur said pointing at it
"yes that one"
Arthur didn't know how he had gotten a scar like that "how did I get it?"
marelyn looked down with tears in her eyes "not even a minute after you were born. . . you were stabbed right in front of your mother's eyes by one of illyrios assassins-"
Arthur cut her off "how am I not dead? you lie"
Meralyn touched his scar "I do not lie arthur, I was there when it happened, I do not know how you live, for I had not the chance to talk to Serra about that"
"Why did he want me dead?" Arthur said
"I do not know arthur"
"Where is my mother now?" Arthur asked curiously
"She is in pentos with that pig"
'π·πππππ;
meralyn grabbed arthur by the shoulders "Promise me child, promise me that you won't tell anyone about this"
"I promise"
"Good, now I have to go back to work"
As she headed out arthur thought about illyrio, his mother, and his father 'π π π ππππ ππ ππ ππππ; Arthur thought about the war a year ago, ',ππππππ πππππππππ, πππππππ πππ ππππππππππ, πππππππ πππ πππππ ππ ππππππππ, π πππππ ππππ πππππππ πππππππππ π πππ πππ πππ ππππππππ πππππ ππππππππ ππ ππππ πππ π πππππ πππ ππππ πππ ππππ π ππππππ , ππππππππ πππππ πππ π πππ ππ ππππ. . . ππππ ππππππ ππ, πππ ππ π πππππππππ, ππππ ππ π πππππππ. . .
ππππ ππππ ππππππ ππ πΎπππ π ππππ π πππ πππππ πππππππ πππ πππππππ πππππ πππππ? ππππ ππππ ππππππ ππ ππππ π ππππ πππππ
ππππ,πππππππ,πππππππ,ππππππ, πππ ππππππππ? πππ πππ ππππ ππππππ ππππ? π ππππ ππ ππππ . . . ; Arthur didn't know what to do, either he goes to the sealords palace and study there to become the next one but even if he becomes the sealord he can't proclaim war.
This put a lot of stress on Arthur.
he went to sleep since tomorrow would be his name day.
