"Beautiful"
I spoke, turning the attention towards me. It was then that I noticed that she was now much healthier than before, with high mana storage in her body. It was a leap in power, but my surprise soon faded, as my necklace Nipheal was supposed to do this. She herself was a genius, she was naturally moving towards the point she should have,
"Nice right?"
Cassana asked me with a smile, and I nodded my head. I walked towards her, and I held her waist, pulling her to me. Her body held onto me, and while her gentle green eyes focused on mine, she looked up as I was now longer than her.
"Yes, mother, it's very beautiful." "Why did you wear it?" "And how did I never see you in such a dress?"
I asked,
"This was a part of my past, and I just wanted to wear it." "Do you know this is the gown I wore to my wedding?" "And that was the second-best moment of my life."
"And what was the name of the first mother?" I asked again, as I really did want to know.
"It was the birth of you, my little gems, that was the most precious thing in my life. the ones I love the most. " "This is my pride and joy, and this only happened because of the second-best moment of my life."
Cassana said with a smile as she placed her hand on my left cheek, looking into my eyes, my golden red pupils that turn completely red when I'm in full Vampire form. without even flinching, which just made me love her even more. I don't know if all mothers are like this with their selfless love or if it is just my mother, and my mind is in the gutter.
as grabbed my hands she made me sit on the bed and she sat beside me, her eyes a bit misty,
"You know, after your father I never sought another love; I grew up a bit more lively than the rest, I loved war and fights, and leading was enjoyable for me, but I never wished to become the lady I'm now."
Cassana slowly said as her hands intertwined with mine,
"Even growing up, I was never that into love; it was then that your father came to me; he was quite unique, that's all, but I wasn't romantically interested in him until he started to pester me, and in the end somehow we got together." And I love it because it brought you all into my life."
"a lot of messed up things happened and somehow I ended up here with my son"
When Cassana reached this part, she shook her head with a wry smile,
"But that's when I noticed the difference; the time I spent with you felt 100 times more fulfilling for me than anything else; I was perplexed; the times with you felt 100 times more fulfilling for me; and that's when I knew my love for you was genuine; until then, I was living in my made-up bubble."
"So I want to say that I am going to miss you very much.
She spoke as I lightly patted the hair of my mother, who was coiled up in my lap. "Worry not, mother; even though I am going too far away from you, we are still going to keep in contact with each other, as I had hoped before." I wish that I could be closer to you, just like you, but I know well that this is life and that it has its ups and downs." "At times I would send you letters, and you could do the same."
What I am saying is that I will keep in contact with you, with my loyal words for the next four years before you even realise it.
I responded back my hug tightening around her and just like that we spent the time together, I made sure to pamper Cassana for all the time she is going to miss with me and it was definitely making her happy, like this 2 hours went by and we enjoyed each other.
If you're wondering how I was able to develop my relationships so quickly in just a few years, it's because I had broken some of her tightest chains that were preventing her from being more expressive.
I would occasionally send her letters, and at other times I would secretly get her sweets and other gifts that she would like. With words ranging from poems to how much I missed her, song recordings of me singing for her, and many more, I kept in contact with her and tried to get to know more about her. All of my efforts bore fruit as her feelings for me kept increasing.
And I applied the same trick with Melisandre, the girls with her, and the girls here. Yes, it sounds old and would only work on girls who lived in worlds like these where their importance doesn't matter and any advance would only give you a date.
But hi, it's working, and I don't do much. As the saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it…
Laying down on the bed, I placed her above me as a blanket covered us. Cassana was surprised by my move, but seeing it, her smile only got bigger as she hugged me back, not uttering anything.
Just like that, we spent the night. Sometimes carnal pleasure isn't always the answer.
The Eyrie was reached ten days after Steffon's conversation with his sons, Robert and Ireach, on the 29th of the ninth moon, 270 Rer AC.
Drake did not really want to ride with Robert. He loathed his personality, but he had to save his image in front of his parents and Lord Arryn.
O.o.O
And the time I spent in this boat again reminded me why I hate this travel he could could have done this in hours even with my slowest speed plus I could have done this in an instant just using teleportation.
Now this trip has made me realise one thing: if I'm going to do this again I need a lovely beautiful woman so I could enjoy the time and at night release my frustration.
The time it took made me so angry that My men had to come and stop me from throwing the little shit from the ship and calling out some sharks to have some fun.
When we were about to hop down from our horses, we heard a lot of steps coming towards us and saw a servant walking past the gate and started talking.
"You are standing in front of Jon of House Arryn. The Lord of the Eyrie, Defender of the Vale and Warden of the East." Said the servant with a loud voice.
When Robert and I took a look, we saw an old man in his 30s with black hair, though salt white hair crept at the stems of his hair, and sky blue eyes. He was standing in front of the gate waiting for us.
Robert and I hopped down from their horses at once and gave the yields to the stable boys.
I hurried towards Jon and said.
"It's an honor to be your wards, Lord Arryn. This one is Drake of House Baratheon."
He signaled for Robert at once to follow his example. Robert, like always, sucked in introductions. He would always say some shit words in the middle of his introduction.
Seeing his brother's gaze, Robert hurried to introduce himself.
"Lord Arryn, I am Robert Baratheon." Robert tried to sound polite, but his loud voice said the opposite.
"You must be tired from your journey. The servant had prepared rooms for you. You should have a bath, then come and have your supper later." Said Jon using his soft and fatherly voice.
"We are grateful for your concern, Lord Arryn." I Replied politely.
Robert and I, then, excused ourselves. We went to our room's to empty our luggage and take a bath.
After dinner, Lord Arryn told us to have some sleep and to meet him in his study first thing in the morning.
I then disappeared from the place and headed outside with a mask on, as I knew Arryn must have placed many people around, and if he heard that his newly arrived guests and I were no normal guests, it wouldn't be good.
So with a mask and a new disguise I headed to my men. After grabbing them all we went outside of the castle, after that I split them into ten small groups and gave them a huge amount of money, told them to buy the property and anything interesting.
While I sent 5 groups into white markets I, with other 5 groups, headed to black market. And it exists in every world, every continent and in every city.
Even in Storm's land but now it's under my thumbs. Why black market, well it simple its best place to get information not even known by nobles and high lords.
Get some treasure, which I am sure few would here after all these Vale, after all dragons visited here Daemon Targaryen oncs a lord here even if it wasn't for long, plus this place could sell him a few unknown territories that were not even under the lord of this place.
After spending nearly eight hours outside we returned back with good results, as we found some good training ground for my men and who knew Lord Arryn isn't not all that he shows he is fucking around to get himself a son but all
But where he did was...…
And wore no results and who knew Lady Arryn was getting frustrated not only from not getting the happiness of being a mother but also his performance in bed. Well, pretty good news could be used in many ways, and why I'm so confident in the news. Well, I paid a lot of money to get it.
I now even had a list of women and young girls he slept with in the past and let me tell you thry are pretty young and his current favourite women. He had tried with every age. And the list of men Lady Arryn seems to be interested in.
I imagined how my talk with Lord Arryn tomorrow would go. Lord Arryn was one of the few people he respected in this world. The guy was wise and respectable. He treated Robert and Ned Stark as his real sons. That was why they respected him. Yeah, it might be because he didn't have a son or successor for that matter, but the guy still had his nephew at this point.
And it doesn't if the men is interest in women or trying to convince a hair it's natural thing, in fact it would hypocrite of me if I say I won't when I plan to fuck around not in just this world alone. It just women I will fuck only be tucked by me forever ne mine and I had very high standards of who should I fuck.
That's why dude even got married three times and dead by the hands of his third Spouses
Lysa Tully who was head over heels for little finger. Poor dude thought the boy Lysa gave birth to was his son but in fact it was a bastard of the little finger.
In the morning, Robert and I went to Lord Arryn's study to talk to Lord Arryn. When we arrived, we told the servant to inform Lord Arryn. Ten seconds later, we heard a soft voice from inside.
"Come on in." Said Lord Arryn with his soft voice.
Robert and Ientered the room to see Lord Arryn sitting behind his desk with documents in front of him. Lord Arryn then looked up and waved for them to sit down.
"I hope you had a good sleep." Said Lord Arryn looking at both of us.
"We are grateful for your care, Lord Arryn." I Replied with a polite voice.
"No need for formalities. You could just call me Jon or even foster father if you liked." Said Arryn with his gentle voice.
Robert and Inodded and waited for Jon to continue.
"Well, as you are going to be my ward for the next few years, I need to know what do you expect to learn in your stay with me? What are you hoping for in the future? Let's start with you, Robert." Said Jon signalling Robert to start.
"I want to be the strongest in this realm. I want my hammer to know no boundaries and crush the head of every opponent I have." Replied Robert with a shout.
I looked at this brother of mine as if I was looking at an idiot. I really wanted to open Robert's skull and see what was put there instead of his brain. You can't always talk about fighting fucking and drinking and think you are normal.
Like I had the right to say these words with my shit and arrogant personality. Well at least I'm self aware.
Even then he knew I was the strongest and he really wanted to surpass me. It sounded like a dream of a fool.
Jon chuckled a little, then nodded his head. He continued his talk with Robert.
"Your ambition needs hard work and intensive training to achieve. Are you ready for such pain?" asked Jon with humor in his voice.
"Aye, I was born ready." Replied Robert with a shout.
"Good, now, go with master Royce ( Not the same Royce in the books nor his father, maybe a relative.). He will take you to the training yard. He will be the one responsible for your training. Now, go, and I will check on you every once in and while." Said Jon.
Robert nodded his head and headed out with master Royce leaving only And Jon in the room.
Jon then turned his head towards Drake. He was interested in the young stag that was more like a Dragon. He had been hearing good news and some absurd things about him in the last few years.
"Well, Drake, I have heard good things about you. What are they calling you now? Oh, "The Mighty Monster", "the Blood God", "The the beatable'' "The Unbeata" "The One Could Slay A Dragon With Bare Hands" "Crafter of Sword of Dreams" Master of Flesheater" "the controller of dancing sword of blood" "barre of sword of mass destruction" "The Looker" "The Eye Candy" The One With Godly Looks" "Women's Wet Dream" "The one Who Could Slay Any Beauty With His Looks Alone" and these just only few and the names titles women gave you seems true right? Haha." Laughed Arryn while looking at me with interest.
"I have only been doing my best." I Replied, trying to check my ambitions in.
"You know you are the first Baratheon that moved away from your house's motto 'Ours is the Fury.'. Most Baratheons will be like your brother, Robert, hot-blooded and reckless. Although your father is a wise man, he still lets his anger take over him sometimes."
"You even got a motto for yourself, what was it yes "Blood For The Blood God?" Right said Jon.
"Well, maybe the motto has a different meaning. People say that they never saw me angry" I answered truthfully while scratching the back of my head.
"Well, maybe. So now Drake, what are you looking for by coming here? What do you expect for your future? As I'm sure if even half of what people speak about is true then you could find nothing here" asked Jon brushing the topic behind his head.
"Well, I would like to learn everything that will be of help to Stromsland. I want to learn how to lead an army, How to govern, etc." I Said hiding my ambitions between the lines.
"But from what I heard from outside you are already a master in it. Well, whatever it is, that's good news for me, and Stormsland as do had few problems that you could solve with your sharp and unique thinking. I could always use a hand in these papers, plus a lord's son that cares about the land and the people. But what about your training? As from what I heard it's very instance if not outright hell not only for yourself but also men under you" asked Jon nodding his head.
"Of course, I won't forget my training. I have already formulated training routines that help me in Storm's End." I Replied.
Jon nodded his head and signalled the steward to bring some documents. The steward nodded and added more documents to the disk.
"Well, now, Drake, you will be my direct ward and will help me solve the different problems that arise in the Vale." Said Jon, handing me some documents.
I nodded my head. Well, that was what he had already expected. I've been helping my father since I was five.
