(Drakken's POV)
"If you don't want me to take her, that is fine." I told Tyene as Nymeria ran back to her, "I won't rip her away from her mother."
"Mother." Nymeria said as Tyene crouched down and hugged her
I had returned to Sunspear, teleporting inside Tyene's chambers where she had Saera and Maegelle. From what I understand, Elia was busy with some things so she couldn't receive us. I really didn't care about that but Tyene had apologized multiple times about it.
Saera leaned against her arm and smile, "Look at that beautiful girl." She said, "Isn't she precious?"
Maegelle smiled slightly, "She is."
Tyene stood up, holding Nymeria in her arms, "Thank you, My Lord." She told me, "I....I really don't want to be separated from her."
"I never said I was going to separate the two of you. But you are stubborn. You want to stay in Dorne." I said as I walked over to the couch where Maegelle is sitting, "I couldn't help but notice that Nymeria's ears perk up at the mention of Riktor."
"She admires her brother." Tyene explained, "To her, she is a worthy warrior worthy of praise."
"He's a spoiled little shit." I said as I sat down next to Maegelle and grabbed her hand, "But after he does what I told him to, maybe he is worthy of said praise."
"Don't speak of your son like that." Maegelle frowned
"I do what I want." I told her
Saera chuckled, "So Nymeria loves my previous boy?" She said, "That is good. He is her eldest brother and my Riktor will be the greatest warrior to ever live."
Nymeria looked at me, "I want to see him."
"Not now." I said as I leaned back, "He's busy."
"War." Nymeria said simply
"That is right." I said, "War."
I then looked at Tyene, she was caressing her daughter's hair with a warm smile on her face. The mere sight of that shifted something in me.
I teleported behind her, "Hm." I said, "Tyene."
This startled her and she looked at me, "Y-Yes, My Lord?"
"Why don't you leave her with Maegelle and Saera for a bit?" I told her, "They came to spend time with her after all."
"O-Oh...." She said, "I-I don't mind that....."
I wrapped my arm around her waist, "Yes. You do that." I told her, "While you and I...talk....."
"T-Talk?" She gulped, "Are you certain it is just.....a talk?"
I leaned in and smelled her neck, "It will be a long talk."
She nodded, "O-Of course it would be....."
Maegelle stood up and walked over, "Give her to me." She said, "Come, child. Your Mother and Father will spend some time alone."
"Fufu~" Saera said, "If you need me to join in on the talk, call me, lover~"
"Hm....." I said as Maegelle took Nymeria in her arms, "What do you say, my Dornish Princess?"
"I cannot refuse.....can I?" She chuckled nervously
I smelled her hair, "If you refuse, so be it." I said as I pulled her closer, "But we both know you don't want to."
She gulped again as she began to sweat slightly, "I...."
"Have I neglected you too much?" I whispered to her ear, "Let me make you feel wanted."
"I want you right now."
*********************
After a few hours of having sex with Tyene, I had left the beautiful princess asleep in her chambers. She had wept a couple of times during the session, telling me how much I meant to her and how she missed my warmth.
I didn't realize I was being that cruel to my Tyene. I should visit her more often. She was my lover after all.
I left her in her bed, and I came to Maegelle's chambers later that night, seeing that Nymeria was still awake and reading a book at her table.
"Is she not supposed to be asleep?" I asked Maegelle, "What is she doing up?"
"I think it is fine." Maegelle was walking towards the table while holding a cup of tea, "She doesn't normally stay up this late, what's the harm?"
She set the cup down as I walked up to her, wrapping my arms around her waist and leaning in, smelling her neck.
"Where's Saera?" I asked her
"She....fell asleep." She said, "You must've left her quite spent."
"Hm....." I said as I kissed her cheek, "Would you like to be next?"
"Do not speak like that in front of the child." She said as she grabbed my arm, "Drakken...."
I looked at Nymeria, she seemed quite immersed in the book. The way her red eyes slowly moved from one side to the other as she read was quite....cute. I didn't know what it was about this daughter of mine but I was a bit taken aback by how beautiful she was.
I embraced Maegelle more, "Are you satisfied?"
"With what?" She asked me
"Her. Spending time with her." I told her
"Well....." She said, "Not yet. But.....I will be."
"Good." I told her as I gently rubbed her stomach, "I do want another one, Maegelle."
"I know you do." She said, "And.....I do too.....but maybe we should wait."
"Why?" I asked her
"We have too many.....haha.....perhaps its best to wait for Riktor to come back. I worry about him and-" she started
"Don't worry about the brat." I told her
Nymeria looked up, "Is he going to be okay?" She asked with a frown, "He's alone."
"He's going to be fine." I told her
"Lady Maegelle worries for him." Nymeria said
"Maegelle worries about everything." I told her, "And call her Mama."
"Oh." Nymeria said, "M-Mama..."
Maegelle smiled, "Oh, Nymeria." She said, "You don't have to, but it would be nice to hear it from you."
Nymeria got flustered and looked back at the book, "Y-Yes....."
"When Riktor finishes what he's doing, I'll have him visit you." I told her, "Wouldn't that be nice, Nymeria?"
Nymeria nodded, "Y-Yes...."
I pulled away from Maegelle and walked over behind Nymeria, running my hand through her hair, and I leaned down to gently pat her shoulder.
"My daughter....." I said as she looked at me, "One day, you will fight alongside all of your siblings. They may not see you that much, but I can guarantee you this; they will cherish you for eternity. As will I."
"F-Father...cherishes me...?" She blinked
I gently patted her head, "I do." I told,
"That won't ever change."
