We waited for some time chatting when I heard the sound of my men synchronized step.
Soon after my men entered one after another with the Martell guards surrounding them. There was no fear on my elites faces, more like excitement for the challenge. I promise. Let them off the leash and they would probably fight the Night King with a smile.
I looked as the two palanquins were placed in the middle of the opened square.
I looked at Tyene and waived for here to come closer. The girl just smiled and did as asked.
"Go and check the second palanquin, don't shout. Enter and you will know what to do after." I said and she looked as her mother agreed hearing what I said to her.
The child looked around at the men ready to fight at a moment notice.
She moved slowly, opened the covers and entered.
The silence didn't help as the atmosphere got more tense with each second she didn't come back.
Prince Oberyn looked at me and wanted to say something when the doors slid opened and Tyene came out trying to hide her excitement.
I smiled seeing her moving with haste to her fathers side and whispering to his ear.
Oberyn's face changed and the color left it making him as pale as a Northman.
He looked at me with bulging eyes and I nodded smiling.
"Is it alright if I let my men spread out to guard us?" I asked and he subconsciously nodded. Even Ellaria and the rest of snakes beside Tyene who was now smiling brightly were stunned. She really has a beautiful smile. "I will now order my men to pull back to guard the area. Please order your men to retreat." I finished saying.
"Go! Leave us!" He didn't even wait having hard time to sit in place.
We again waited in silence for the men to get into positions.
I tried to get of from my lovely capture arms, but she held on looking at her man.
"Don't worry my lovely lady, I will be right back in your arms again." I finally stood on my feet as she got Oberyn's approval. "Don't miss me too much my lady!" I tiptoed and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
I slowly walked to the palanquin and slid the doors open again. I placed my hand inside and could feel a small hand grabbing my.
I heard a childish laugh coming from inside. This little jester!
I pulled it gently and small Rhae came out and looked around still holding on to me.
I placed my second hand inside as Ser Arthur walked to get his sister.
Soon after, I saw Oberyn cry as his sister came outside, he got up and slowly walked to us with wobbly step.
I could see Elias tears flowing when she looked at him. Little Rhae was now in Lady Ashara arms watching her uncle that she never met before.
"How... How is this possible? If you're a ghost then please hunt me until I die..." his voice broke as he placed his palms on his sisters face wiping her tears with his thumbs.
"Lord Dustin..." she whispered as he hugged her.
I came back to the table and before I sat on a free chair I was grabbed, hugged, kissed all over my face and then placed at the chair.
"You don't want to join them?" I asked and checked the smiling beauty. She nodded and stepped to them sharing the hug and tears.
It took a while before they finished, the snakes were smiling, Oberyn was smiling, everyone was smiling! And I was ... hungry.
"Alright, alright. You will have time for that later! I'm hungry!" I couldn't hold it anymore. "Since we don't have any trust issues now can we eat please?" I asked and the group laughed.
"That we can my friend! Obara darling, please inform the kitchen to prepare my dining chambers! We will have a feast tonight to welcome our lost family and friends! We are celebrating!" The girls looked differently at me now so she swiftly complied.
"Prince Oberyn... If I can ask... my men didn't eat as well, can you...?" He was to joyful and cut me off again.
"No problem! They will get our best Dornish hospitality!" He laughed loud. Translating the meanings of his words I can assume that my men will have good food, wine and probably their first threesome or orgy for some. Fuck!
Well it's only few years. I can wait and it's not like my body needs it for now.
"I wanted to ask. Weren't we supposed to meet prince Doran?" I was curious about that.
"No, he's inspecting the lords. I'm sure when he hears the news, he would want to comeback as soon as possible!" He was all smiles but that's a flag.
"You do know that if anyone finds out we are all dead right?" It was time to pour the bucket of cold water on him. He instantly got serious. "And I didn't manage to save all of them..." I already got use to this, but he will need time.
"You did your best my lord." Ser Arthur was now without his mask.
"You did your best Brendan..." Elia came and kissed me on the cheek.
I think she was still hurting but finally she got reunited with her family.
"We will watch out, trust us as we trusted you..." Ellaria came with little Rhae in her arms followed by Lady Ashara.
"You know we can never repay this debt right?" Oberyn asked.
"Prince Oberyn do you think I did it for your repayment? I could have her brought the princess earlier if so." I said a bit offended.
„No brother, he did it because he loves me..." she said and smiled.
Say what?! My face made everyone laugh again. "What? Who said that if he would be older her would fight that stupid dragon for my hand?" She teased me and it worked!
I was now blushing to everyone's enjoyment.
"T-this i-it's not what I meant!" I stuttered.
"Oh? So you don't think I'm beautiful?" When I heard her I just wanted to dig a hole and jump in.
"He told me I'm beautiful as well!" Not you too Ellaria!
Now they were standing close to each other and teasing me! They brushed their fingers over their bodies provokingly.
"Oh? So I'm not beautiful?" Lady Ashara joined them.
I looked at Arthur for help, but he pretended not to see me, Bryce was... well, being Bryce. He was just salivating and looking at the play before him. The last choice! Oberyn!
"Don't look at me! I want to join all of you!"
Yeah well. Shit. Wait! All of you? Does he mean?
Nope. Nope. Nope!
I stepped back ready to run away when they laughed louder.
"Leave him! He's ours!" The snakes came to my rescue, but what ours?
"Oh? It's not often when our girls are in agreement my love." Ellaria has to make it it worse.
"True, Maybe we should leave it to them?" Alright it's not a bad idea Oberyn I have to admit. Unfortunately... I can't make it stand!
