Chapter 12

MELISANDRE POV

While Prince Jaehaerys explains to the prisoners the situation he is in, according to what Utias told me, the prince is barely two years old, but his body is like a six-year-old, What is most surprising is what I have discovered in my short interaction that I have had with him, the prince has a mature character and mentality, this baffles me, the only explanation that I can conclude, that prince Jaehaerys is a prodigy sent by my lord R'llor to fight to the big Other.

Surprisingly, Prince Jaehaerys managed to find this rune in the royal library, it is terrifying to know of the great magical power that the ancient Valyrians possessed, thanks to this great power it allowed them to have a great empire for millennia in Essos.

Apart from the scroll that explains the process of creating and engraving the servitude rune, there is a small scroll on which is a Sigil.

This Sigil is the one that will be engraved on the skin of the person at the end of the blood magic ritual, who agrees to receive the rune of servitude of their own free will, It is a sign of subjugation of the person before supply,

According to what Utias had told me, the Sigil of the Targaryen house is the three-headed Dragon, but the Sigil that is on the small scroll is different from the one of the Targaryen house, this Sigil has a five-headed Dragon, I assume that This is the Sigil created by Prince Jaehaerys to represent himself, this is curious.

When taking the oath with Prince Jaehaerys, I managed to establish a connection with him, I feel like a thread that unites me with the prince, when I started this connection I perceived that a large amount of magic entered my body, increasing my reserves, I sense that now it will be easier for me to perform various spells and rituals.

When the prince touched my cheek with his hand, I perceived a pleasant, healing, purifying heat, this heat produced in me a longing, longing, and pleasure as I have never felt in my life.

POV JAEHAERYS TARGARYEN

While the prisoners in the cells make their decisions, Melisandre is studying the servitude rune, and Utias and I search the warehouse to find money and valuables.

After searching in the warehouse, under the chair and the carpet there is a secret door that leads to the basement, We go down the stairs, and in the basement we find three large trunks full of coins, calculating they must have eighty thousand gold Dragons, about fifty thousand Stag Silver.

Utias and I were surprised to discover the great wealth that we managed to find in the basement. In addition to the coins, we found documents, letters, and deeds of ownership of the warehouse. I place the documents inside the breastplate, to analyze them later in my room.

We go up the stairs, close the secret door, and place the chair and rug to hide the secret door

Melisandre approaches me, "Jace I'm ready", I reply "Perfect"

I turn to Utias "Utias, put the bodies in the warehouse to dispose of the bodies later, and gather all the bodies together"

Utias, leave the warehouse to do as I order.

I approach the cells, "It's time for them to make their decision, Who will choose the first option, a quick death? Raise their hands, those who chose that option", I wait a minute, but none of the prisoners raise their hands. So I continued, "Who chooses the second option? Raise your hand those who choose the second option", The ten people inside the cells raised their hands.

Jace- "Each of you will pronounce your name and your profession"

They begin to introduce themselves, the first is a fat young man, with blond hair "My name is Sarto Grinlind, I am a master of the Citadel", and another thin man, light skin and dark hair, brown eyes "My name is Stan Rivers... I am a thief", another man, brown skin, the slender figure "My name is Tyrion Sand…I am a murderer", another tanned man with blue eyes, the man is stout, wears a golden gambeson "Harkod Strong, I am a mercenary", the last two are children with dark hair and gray eyes, one is called Rocor Snow and Praetor Snow.

Utias entered with the two corpses, one on each shoulder, and placed them near the burned man in the center of the warehouse.

In the other cell where the women were, the septa are the first to appear, she is a beautiful blonde woman, with green eyes "My name is Tisha Flowers, I am a Septa", another woman, is a robust woman, with green "My name Briany Waters, I'm a sea captain", I look at the two remaining girls, they are twin sisters, with violet eyes and platinum blonde hair, from their appearance it can be seen that they have a strong Valyrian heritage in their blood, one of her names is Shiera Seastar and the other one is called Serene Seastar.

They all wear shackles on their hands and feet.

At the end of the introductions, I ask them, "Will anyone volunteer to be the first to have the rune of servitude engraved on their body? ", No one responds at all, I wait a minute, and when I go to speak, Harkod "what the hell... Lord, I offer to be the first"

Jace- "Perfect, Harkod, lie down on the table, Utias holds his shoulders, so that Harkod doesn't move, Melisandre so that the mark remains on his chest."

Harkod lies down on the table, Utias holds him by the shoulders with his hands which are like two large pincers that immobilize him.

Melisandre begins a ritual to perform the rune of servitude reciting in High Valyrian, between the palms of her hands, a figure begins to form in the shadows until a five-headed Dragon is completely formed, and Melisandre lowers her hands.

Melisandre tells Harkod- "Harkod Strong you accept the rune of your lord Jaehaerys Targaryen"

Harkod answers "If I accept the rune of my lord Jaehaerys Targaryen", then the symbol of the five-headed Dragon in black shadows begins to form on Harkod's chest, Melisandre tells me "Jaehaerys Targaryen, as the lord of Harkod Strong deposits a drop of your blood in the symbol".

With my Valyrian Steel Dagger, I cut my thumb, and I deposit a drop of blood in the Symbol, as the drop of my blood falls into the Symbol, the lines of the Symbol go from black shadows to intense red-like lava, the symbol increases the intensity of the luminosity until there is a great flash of light.

Melisandre- "We have finished the rune ritual, it has been a success Jace"

Jace- "Thank you, Melisandre"

I observe that the rune mark on Harkod's chest begins to fade little by little until it disappears completely as if the mark had never existed. This is perfect when the mark disappears they will not be able to discover that they are my subordinates.

Melisandre and I continue the servitude rune ritual with the remaining nine people.

After finishing the rituals of the ten people and managing to engrave the rune on all of them, I tell them the chain of command.

"My name is Jaehaerys Targaryen, but from this moment on they will call me Jace, they will not use any title with me", he pointed to Melisandre "She is called Melisandre, when I am not here, they have to follow the orders that she imposes on them", he pointed out to Utias "He is called Utias when I am not here, nor Melisandre will have to follow the orders that he imposes on them"

I ask them- "Did you understand?", and they all answer yes.

I fix my gaze on the bodies that are piled up, I raise my right hand and with the palm, I point towards the bodies I pronounce "DRACARYS", out loud, it is not necessary to pronounce the word out loud, but I want to generate a greater effect on my subordinates.

From my hand comes a great blaze of fire with red and black flames, I keep it for a full minute until I completely char the bodies, and when I finish I feel my magic reserves have decreased.

"This is what I tell my subjects, to those who are faithful and loyal to me, I will give them rewards so that they have a good life, but there is that those who betray me will have a fate worse than that of these bodies"
