[A/N: Have a Novel in a new account, if you guys are interested. It's called "The War-Necromancer's Taboo Harem" . Just search up "Taboo Harem" and it should be among the first ones there.]
(Ellion's POV)
"You have got to be joking...." She said, "Y-You're....no, that's not true..."
She slowly sat down on the bed, her face was pale.
I sighed and nodded, "It is the truth." I said, "You can ask Elayna for confirmation."
She looked at me, "Fairmarket....." She said, "We were girls back then. So young....I remember that she took us and we ran. Eventually, we ended up in Lannisport."
"So she says." I said, "But the truth is that she had left me with an Old Knight."
She looked down, "Back then, I swore she was with child." She said, "I was too young to even question it. But I knew that we were supposed to have a sibling, Elle and I. But we never got see the child, we did not know what had happened. Mother told us it was a stillborn and that there was no time to think on it. Gods, we were young."
I don't know how I expected her to take this. She and her sister have the right to know the truth, even if it means that they have to process the cruel truth; that we committed incest. But so far, I think she is taking it better than I am.
At least, that is what it looks like.
"I am that stillborn child." I told her, "She lied to you. For years, she lied. The truth is that out of fear of what would've happened to her, to you two, she left me in the care of Old Lyonel, a hedge knight that she had met. I was raised by that man since then, he taught me everything. But the truth is that he also kept it a secret from me. He had told me that my Mother had died."
She stood up and walked up to me, immediately patting my cheek. There was a sad frown on her face, a genuine look of affection in her eyes. It is as if she had recognized something in me, something that is making her act like this.
"You look like her." She said softly, "The closer that I pay attention to you, the more you look like Mother...."
Her touch was soft and warm, almost one that was almost familiar. I didn't know how to react to this, I didn't know if it was right of me to even be here with her.
This woman was my sister, one that I had committed a taboo with. But there was something warm about her touch and it didn't feel sexual.
Which was fucking ironic, to say the least.
I gently grabbed her hand, "You think so?" I asked, "I have red hair and eyes that don't belong to her."
"But your face.....the look in your eyes...." She said, "I do not know, I cannot explain it. You do look like her..."
"Hm..." I said, "It is because I am her son."
She then pulled away, her face distorting with shame and guilt, "That means...." She said softly, "Gods.....we.....you.....Oh fuck, I laid with my own brother....? Gods, what have we done?"
I looked down, "Yea..."
"Fuck..." She said as she walked towards the table, "I need a drink."
I nodded,
"You and me both."
*************
"So she had us be fucked by Ser Ellion Red-Hair, but she did not care to tell us that he was her son and our brother?" Eyla said as we were sitting on the bed, drinking wine from the cups in our hands, "Elle, myself, and Lysa of Lannisport? Gods...."
I looked at her, "Lysa is the name of that other petite girl?"
She nodded, drinking from her cup, "Yes." She said, "We left her back there, she did not want to accompany us here."
"Hm." I said, "To be fair, I fucked a lot of women that night."
"Oh, I know." She said with a chuckle
I took a sip of the wine, "Another thing, she didn't recognize me." I said, "We were wearing masks, all of us. And she never met me grown, so she couldn't recognize my body. And well, when she did recognize me, she felt nothing but shame."
"I wager she did." She said, twirling her up, "She enjoyed the cock of the Mystery Knight who unmounted Ser Arthur Dayne."
I winced, looking away, "That is not something I wish to hear."
"Why?" She asked, "It is the truth."
"It's incest." I said, "Do you think I wish to be reminded that I fucked my own mother and my sisters?"
"Pfft, it is done already!" She laughed, "It is quite the shock, yes, but what are you going to do about it?"
I shrugged, "I don't fucking know." I said, "I am still processing the fact. I found it hard to even look at her in the face, do you think I want to even speak about her?"
"She is your mother." She said
"One that abandoned me." I said with a frown
"From what you told me, she said she had a good reason." She said, "And you were but a babe during Fairmarket. It was chaotic, from what I can remember. If people claimed that you were a highborn bastard, they would've harmed her....and us."
"Tch....so you're defending her?" I asked
She grabbed my hand, "You are a Knight, aren't you? A landed one." She said, "You are in good standing with the Highborn, hells, the King himself. You don't know what us Smallfolk go through, Ellion. It is different, it is a terrifying truth. Especially for ones of our craft."
I looked at her, "I know enough." I said, "But what I know now matters the most. Our Mother cast me aside."
"To protect you." She said with a frown
"To protect herself." I said
"Aye, to protect herself and us." She nodded, "I will not deny that. But would you rather she did not do that? Would you rather she risked our lives? I understand if you are angry....gods, I'd be angry too...."
I sighed, "You're too accepting of everything." I said before chugging down the cup of wine, "I told you I am your brother and you don't seem to care much that we fucked."
She chuckled and looked away, "The man you are serving fucked his own sister." She said as she took a sip of her own cup, "What difference does this make?"
I stood up and stepped in front of her, "I'm not a Targaryen, Eyla." I said, "I'm not like that fool of a King we have. I am different."
"So you say." She said, "But is that the truth?"
"Are you truly a different man than those who step all over us?"
