(Ellion's POV)
"Well, fuck..." I said as I gritted my teeth
Queen Rhaella was standing there, frozen in the moment. She didn't say anything, her face was pale with shock and surprise. Her eyes merely darted between myself and Lady Selene, her hands trembling slightly.
"W-What is going on?" She finally decided to speak, "L-Lady Selene...."
"Y-Your.....Your Grace!" Selene exclaimed, "S-Ser Ellion and I.....uh...."
I raised my hands slightly, "I can explain, Your Grace." I said, "If only you would allow me to-"
"Get dressed and leave us, Lady Selene." Rhaella cut me off, looking away and avoiding eye contact, "You are fortunate that I am alone. Quickly now! Before someone sees you!"
I saw as Lady Selene scrambled out of the bed, immediately putting on her dress, trying her best to fix her hair. She grabbed her shoes and scurried past Queen Rhaella, who was looking down.
As she passed, The Queen called out of her, "Lady Selene..."
Selene looked at her, a bit shaken up, "Y-Yes...?"
"Do not speak of this to anyone." She said seriously, "I will do you the favor of keeping quiet."
Lady Selene bowed, "Y-Your Grace....t-thank you!" she said, her voice was shaky, "I am deeply sorry about this!"
"We will speak at a later time." She said, "For now, I will speak with Ser Ellion."
Selene hurried out of the room, slowly closing the door. Rhaella then looked at me as I had buttoned on my pants and put my shirt back on. I don't think I've felt this embarrassed since Joanna had caught Genna and I.
To think that Rhaella would catch me having sex with someone.
"Your Grace..." I started, "I.....I apologize for anything."
"I've come to inform you that my gift to you is nearly complete." She said, composing herself, "I had asked Aerys about your whereabouts, seeing that you have been all over the Keep as of late."
"I'm sorry?" I asked, "The King....?"
She nodded, "He told me to come and see you right away." She said, clearing her throat and placing her hands in front of her, "But he did not mention that you would.....be busy..."
I frowned, "Oh." I said, "Well...."
Aerys most definitely sent Lady Selene as my reward. Does this mean that he sent Rhaella over, knowing full well that I was having sex with someone? And my carelessness got me in this situation; I didn't bother locking the door.
Or did I?
Whether I did or not, it doesn't matter. I should've had my Observation Haki active, in order to keep a radar around the area.
It was foolish on my part for not doing that! I am so fucking stupid.
Now, this has happened.
But why do I get the feeling the King wanted this to happen?
Rhaella cleared her throat, blushing slightly, "I figured that you were a healthy young man, considering that Aerys has taken great interest in you." She said, "He had mentioned that you are quite the skilled warrior and the Kingsguard and Rhaegar have confirmed that as well."
"Right..." I said
"But I suppose you are also more than skilled with the blade." She said seriously, "You have other.....activities you might be good that."
I cleared my throat, "That's one way of putting it."
"I must warn you, Ser Ellion." She said, "As your Queen, I find it within my obligation to to tell you to be careful. It matters not what perversion Aerys is scheming, but you must be careful. If you continue this and indulge in the wrong woman behind a powerful man's back, I do not think even Aerys can protect you."
I nodded, "I understand, Your Grace." I said, "But what worries me is not the potential danger of doing what I do. What concerns me is the fact that I have insulted you in any way, Your Grace. To put you in such a situation, I am truly sorry. I don't know what to say; now, you know my nature."
She looked at me with a bit of a tired expression, "Ser Ellion..." She said, "I have dealt with worse things than something like this. But the truth is; I do not want a young man like yourself to die over something so foolish. That is the reason Old Lyonel was angry at Aerys all those years ago. He did not want Aerys to be targeted due to his lust."
I nodded, "I completely understand." I said, "But the thing is-"
"It matters not." She said, closing her eyes, "Do not fret. If you wish to.....release your stress and indulge in your desires with consent, of course.....You have my permission to do so with any of my maids, should they want to as well. They can keep a secret and it would be significantly better for everyone."
"If they don't want it, I won't force it." I said, "If it really has to come to it, I will go to a broth-"
"I will not have your reputation tarnished by constantly visiting the Street of Silk." She said, "I have spoken; you will do as I command."
She turned around and made her way to the door, her figure being outlined by her beautiful dress. There was something alluring about this woman, the way she gracefully carried herself was simply magnificent.
She reminded me a bit of Joanna, whom I was heavily attracted to.
She then looked back at me, giving me a serious look, "You must learn to control yourself, Ellion." She said, "You are young, but a young man. You have much to learn and mature, no matter how skilled you are; in any....fields....."
I nodded, "Yes, Your Grace." I said, "I understand."
"From now on, keep your doors locked at all time should you perform with other women." She opened the door, "Figure out a way to ward off the guards, signaling that you are busy and do not want to be disturbed."
She then walked out and closed them behind her, leaving me alone in the chambers.
I then sighed and sat on the side of the bed, "Fuck...." I said, feeling nothing but shame, "What an Idiot...."
"I'm so stupid."
