Chapter 33 - Shae..

(Mc pov)

"Luka.." Daemon smiled at my words, my voice once again calling out to the darkness, watching the ming, Luka, come from the hallway, bowing as he looked at the floor.

"My lord, what need do you have of me.." Luka's deep voice rang in my ears. His body relaxed as he questioned me.

"Go and make a place that I might speak with the grand maester.." I said lightly, not wanting to go into detail about the matter now.

"Your will, my hands.." Luka said, his body disappearing into the dark once more, causing Daemon to chuckle.

"It still chills the blood, the fact they move within even my shadow.." Daemon grinned, drinking his wine down as I laughed. "You still are as you were when we were younger, leaving nothing to chance." Daemon continued, raising the skin of wine to me as I stood.

"Yes, and on many occasions it seems to have saved you, say for those dornish women, ripe for cock but still married, saving you in threat of losing your balls.." I laughed remembering the past, watching Daemon's face change.

"Yet it was you who proposed to have them warm our beds.." Daemon laughed, his face a faint smile as mine was, laughing lightly at our shared past.

"Yet you still remained balls deep, until knife was in hand to separate you from your manhood.." I shook my head standing, only to have my shoulder pulled back, as the Sunkissed, walked to pour the wine for me.

"And here you are, still waited on by women hand and feet for your fancy." Daemon turned his head, kissing his woman as he watches sunkiss walked to me, leaning my head back as she drank the wine, then kissed me.

"What is your name, sunkissed?" I said, ignoring Daemon as I looked into the woman's eyes, her lips letting go of mine with a smile.

"Shae, prince Maliketh.." The woman said softly, for all the touching, and wanten flirting, her kissing and body movement was as if a child.

"You picked a special one, prince Maliketh, ripe the fruit she is, and yet to be tasted.." The woman, Mysaria spoke from beside Daemon, her body moving in his embrace as she spoke with laced laughter.

"You have yet to be bedded? how is that within a pleasure house." I questioned looking at the details of her face, my hands roaming her fair skin, her long black hair, wavy and well kept. along with her deep brown eyes, sharp eyebrows, and well-shaped lips.

"Yes, prince, I have only been here a day, and when I heard talks of a silver-haired prince, I chose to allow myself to be claimed, then to.." Shae spoke, her words fading as she looked at Mysaria, not knowing what to say.

"In stead of giving your body to any man.. smart I would say.." I laughed as I finished her sentence, uncaring to Daemon who rolled his eyes.

"Then you are mine.. I will set you to purpose in what I need of you.." gripping her face, I turned her head side to side, making up my mind as I kissed her lips lightly. "There is gold to be had, but I assure you, you will not like your roll.." I continued, looking into her eyes that shook.

"What grand purpose would you give a whore, brother, to bare your seed in the absence of your lady wife?" Daemon's laughter filled the room for a moment as I looked at him.

"I will have her by Alicent's side, better a maid I can control myself than the ones eying my woman and I in our sleep." I said, standing as I picked up my shirt, cloak, and sword.

"You would have me within the keep? but prince.." Shae who was lost in the conversation, spoke up, her face flush as I turned to her.

"You only need to do as you are told.. nothing more.." I cut her off, gripping her neck lightly as I watched the fascination in her eyes grow larger than the moon.

"It looks as if you love to lay with trouble, say the anger of one.. and the promises of love to the other.." Daemon spoke words of mystery to the women around us, but my eyes washed over him as he sighed lightly.

"The ming can not be there all the time, I only wanted to make sure nothing happens while I'm gone.." I spoke words that put his to rest, his head tilting as Mysaria kissed along his neck.

"I know, the stepstones will run with blood.." Daemon who had heard, about the happenings within the kings chamber, spoke words be knew to be true as I have always done.

"The sea thick with it, if only to muddy the water.." I continued with a small smile, My head turning to Shae once more as I lifted her chin.

"Your things will be moved around at first light, the ming will pick you up from somewhere else, I do not need questions of why I hired a maid from a pleasure house. Do you understand.." I said, but my words left no room for her to argue, her head nodding as I kissed her forehead lightly.

"It will be as you say, my prince.." Shae said with a bow, this time I did not correct her, he would be useful for a while, depending on what happened I could always place her in a home far from here, with enough gold that she'd never be able to use in this lifetime.

"Well it seems you have set your plans to motion.. come have a drink." Daemon said, a lot more relaxed as he laughed at Shae's embarrassment, her face red as she stood at my back.

"Very well.." Seeing his change, my body relaxed more, watching Shae pour a cup for me as I thought on the future.

The wine ran thick, my mouth numb to it, my body even more so as I talked with Daemon, the laughs filling the room with life, the moon sat high in the sky, its light dancing with the shadows of a more pronounced darkness then in the day time. The world blurring into of mix darkness, and forgetfulness. My eyes watched the moon dance along Shae's skin as I lay my head in her lap, my eyes watching Daemon and Mysaria sleep atop the bed.

"It seems I had forgotten how to laugh.." I spoke to myself, feeling her hand caress my face, pushing my hair out of the way as I looked out of the window.

"It is something I will never grow tired of hearing, my prince.." Shae's words were soft, gently licking my ears as I raised my body from her lap.

"My prince.. these markings, do they hold meaning.." Shae's face changed as she watched me move away, my back to her as I stretched my hand out, leaning against the window. The moon light shining on my back as I felt her touch.

"Fortis fortuna adiuvat.." I said slowly, my head turning to her as I spoke it slowly. watching her eyes not understand as I pointed to my lips, her eyes seemingly caught on as she tried to say it many times.

"Fo- For- Fortis fortuna adiuvat.." Shae eventually got it out, her face a light as she watched mine, her hands rubbing the letters as she said it many times. "What does it mean, my prince?" she asked once more as I looked out of the window.

"Fortune favors the Bold, One can not achieve their goals without risk, something I've done many times.. like with you." I said, rubbing her face lightly as she smiled even more, her face a glow, her hands rubbing the tattoo along my side as she did.

"And this one?" Shae again asked, my face changed as I held her hand lightly, causing her to be confused.

"Quod oblivioni datum est numquam deletur." I said quietly, looking at her face that tried to speak it, my finger coming to her lips as she stopped,y head shaking as I looked out the window once more.

"Where should I go.. to the left where nothing is right, or to the right, where nothing is left.." My words left a mystery to her as I felt her place her head on my back.

"None of that matters."

(Tattoo meaning - What is given to oblivion is never erased)
