(Drakken's POV)
I walked inside the room and shut the door via my telekinesis, "Okay." I said, "Let's talk."
Riktor was on the ground, getting up to his knees, a surprised look on his face as he fixed his hair.
"W-what was that for?" He asked as he straightened up
I walked up to him, "You got some nerve." I said as I pointed at him, "You got some nerve, you know that?"
He rubbed sweat off his cheek, "I am not hurting anyone, Father."
"Oh no." I said as I circled him, "But you'll definitely get someone hurt if you keep this up. Do you know how hard your Mother is keeping Saera from skinning the maids? All because your stupid pants can't stay on?"
Riktor looked at me as I walked back in front of him, "I..."
"I placed a Law. An important one that was meant to change the way this whole Realm operated." I said seriously, "All because of you. I did it for you and you don't seem to appreciate it."
"That law was for anyone who preyed on young children and those who aren't of age." He said, "But I am not being pre-"
"It is still wrong, and you fucking know it. They are grown women, older by ten years. I hear you even did some girls a bit over your age, max of two or three years and that is fine, I guess." I said, "It is not right. But who am I to speak about morality, eh? I torture, murder, and torment people for my own satisfaction. That is why I haven't said anything this entire time."
"I am the one forcing them." He said seriously, "They have nothing to do. They simply can't refuse because of my position of pow-"
"I did not teach you to violate others." I cut him off, "Stop fucking lying. While I find it admirable that you are trying to cover for them, I ain't stupid. I know that it is mutual. You simply seduced them, using your stoic and surprisingly effective charm. They know it is a crime to do what they did and you promised to keep them safe using your position. I know you, Riktor. You are me, you are my extension. Do you think I wouldn't say anything about it? The only reason your Mothers haven't done anything is because I told them to leave it. I wanted to see how long it went, and frankly, this is where I have to stop it."
"Father..." He said, "I...."
"You are young." I said seriously, "And I am your Father, so you have to listen to what I have to say; This ends now. Everything I do and tell you is for your own fucking sake, Riktor."
"What, you're afraid that I will accidentally father a child?" He asked
"Oh?" I said with a raised eyebrow
"I know that's what my Mothers are worried about, especially Saera." Riktor said, "That I would impregnate some-"
"That would be quite something." I said, "Mini-Riktors running around because you couldn't keep it in your pants."
I did a running gesture with my fingers as I said this with a smirk.
"I am being careful." He said, "I know I am. They are drinking Moon Tea."
"Stop being a fucking idiot, Riktor." I scoffed, "I am not worried about that in the slightest. This has to stop, however."
"Why?" He asked, "I can't just release my own stress?"
"Yea, you are quite young and have all these hormones rampant...so it's expected." I said, "I was like that when I was your age. Man, it was so long ago.....but it will stop, I won't hear any of it. You see, it would be quite bad if one of these women eventually gets impregnated by some random fuck and they claim it is yours. Even though it will not be. And then you'll fall for a lie and you get attached, falling for a clear trap. Someone has to protect you from the disturbing reality that will happen when it comes to that."
He narrowed his eyes, "And what is that?"
"Well, death for them." I said, "not the kid, obviously."
"Death....?" He said seriously
"If one of those women does that, well, I'll let your Mama Saera deal with them." I said, "You know how protective she is of you."
"But Father...." He said, "what if it will be my chi-"
"It won't." I said as I pointed at my eyes, "Because their eyes won't be red. You see, I made a modification to all my children when they were in the womb. They will have my blood in their eyes.....or in the case of Maegelle's kids, one eye. All of the Drakkengards have the main Drakken trait; at least one Red Eye. So if any woman comes at you with a child with black hair but without red eyes, it is not yours. And it won't be my blood."
"What if someone does come with my child?" He asked
"There won't be anyone with your child." I said seriously, "You can count on that."
"How are you so sure?" He asked, "How?"
I patted his shoulder, "You let me worry about that. And you're not an age to think about shit like this." I said, "Know that I am not worried in the slightest. But this is my only warning, Riktor. Cease this. You keep this up....."
"And the women will get punished."

[King's Landing, A Few Days Later]
"What is it you wanted to speak about?" I asked Ezra as he was standing in front of me, "I had to come all the way out here for whatever it is you saw in your vision."
He nodded, "Great One." He said, "I humbly ask for an answer to a question."
"What is it?" I asked
"When will the Ritual happen?" He asked
"Tch...." I said as I crossed my arms, "Why do you want to know?"
"I merely ask.....because I deciphered a prophetic dream, one that I had for months." He said as he walked towards a table
"What did you see?" I asked, "Prophecies and future sight are irritating to me, you know that."
"I know." He said as he picked up a paper, "This is what I wrote down in my post-slumber trance. 'After the Dragon Ritual, the Aenar will soon be born, and he will bring forth the Doom of an Essosi establishment.' It is quite a powerful prophecy."
"The Aenar?" I asked, "Isn't that a Targaryen name?"
"Aenar Targaryen was the father of Daenys the Dreamer." He looked at me, "My guess is that a boy by the name of Aenar will be born. And he will be responsible for the destruction of an Essosi city. From the visions of my dreams, it is a large one. Possibly one of the Free Cities. I could not really... make them out..."
"Hm. And that pertains to me how?" I asked
"The Dragon Ritual is the Promised Future." He said, "Your Ritual will create a resonance that all Marked Ones will be reinvigorated, cleansed of ailments and illness. They will be given a second chance at their life, the Promised Future, as I have dubbed it. It will happen. And I have your followers expecting it patiently."
"Hm." I said, "The Dragon Ritual? What a stupid name. But I guess it can't be helped. It does benefit the Trinity. The Resonance will amplify their Mark's gathered power, and when they eventually die, they will further fuel the Dark Shade."
"And after the Ritual, you will use the Severing, right?" He asked me, "You will randomly choose Marked Ones and they will 'accidentally' die."
"That's right." I said
"Well, my guess is that shortly after the Dragon Ritual, the Aenar will be born." He said, "And it is prophesied that he will destroy a city. I don't know the details."
"And because the Dragon Ritual is more than likely the catalyst for this Aenar to be born, you think I am involved in his birth? You think it's another of Maegelle or Saera's children?" I asked, "I already have too many kids, Ezra. You can't expect me to get more."
"Your personal matters are no business of mine." He said, "But the Aenar's birth is indeed linked to the Dragon Ritual. I am not sure how....or why. But it is. That much is true."
I sighed, "Well, if you say so." I said, "Was that all?"
He nodded, "Yes."
"A waste of time." I said, a bit annoyed, "Oh. And tell Sol'Tyr that I've opened up a potential Vessel for him."
He nodded again, "He knows." He said, "He felt a...shift...."
"He is eager to strike."
