The Winter Queen

Chapter 12

Alicent

As the group of witnesses walked toward the bedding chamber, Alicent decided that she needed to convince her husband of the necessity for him to witness his daughter’s bedding.

“My love, you will join my father and I in the chamber, will  you ? I know the Princess would appreciate having your presence since she has only just met her new Lord Husband and you have always been a strong and calming presence in her life. Having her father present as she’s bedded for the first time will help ease her anxieties and bring great comfort to her.”

“Alicent," the King began, “you truly believe my presence will help my precious little girl as she performs her martial duty for the first time?" 

" Oh, without a doubt it will,” she replied unashamed by her manipulation.

“Well then, I shall willingly endure the discomfort of watching if it will help her feel better!" 

Otto

While his daughter was manipulating her husband to witness the good for nothing little wretch’s bedding, Otto decided to even further humiliate the girl.

“Lord Cregan, it would be a great shame if the Princess’s bridal gown were to be soiled in the bedding, especially with how much it cost to make. Make sure that you remove it from her before you enter her so that it does not get stained in blood as I’m sure the princess would not like to enjoy her wedding feast in a stained gown. You would not wish to humiliate your bride, or worse, your King and Queen now would you.”

Cregan could not help but notice the look of absolute terror on his young bride’s face at hearing the Lord Hand all but demand that she be made bare in front of the witnesses and he truly wished he could refuse the order, but he also knew that it was highly unlikely that the King would do anything in order to protect his daughter or her dignity. However, Cregan decided that he could use the order to give his bride a taste of the pleasure she could find in their marriage bed.

“I understand, Lord Hand and will ensure that the gown is unharmed." 

Rhaenyra

By the time they arrived at the bedding chamber, she was trembling. Her time left as a maiden now could only be counted in minutes and she was terrified. Upon seeing her father among the crowd of witnesses, she wanted to cry. He was the one who forced her into this situation and now to know he was going to watch her experience the most intimate of acts for the first time? Oh how she missed her mother as perhaps she could have prevented this travesty from occurring. Alicent and Otto had to be behind this treachery, she knew, as the pair were the ones who wanted her destroyed the most.

Cregan

Cregan could not believe his eyes! The King had decided to witness his daughter’s deflowering. What sort of man chooses such a thing? He knew he could not handle witnessing such an event when his own daughter was older and barely wed so how could he be so callous?

As the witnesses began to settle themselves around the room, Cregan could not help but notice the look of absolute fear and betrayal in his wife’s eyes as she gazed at her father. Knowing the act they needed to perform and to distract her, he gently began to kiss her lips even as he slid the cloak off of her shoulders. Once the cloak was off of her, he swept her into his arms even as he deepened the kiss.

He carried her across the room even as he began to undo the laces on the back of her dress, all the while keeping his lips moving on hers. Right before he reached the bed, he released her lips for a moment so that they might catch a breath of air. Then, before setting her down on the bed, he licked her lips until they parted enough for him to get his tongue inside her mouth, making her gasp. He kept his tongue busy exploring her mouth even as he settled her down on the sheets and pulled the bodice of her gown off of her arms and chest, leaving her entirely bare from the waist up.
