Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon.

Chapter 30 Dany's Heartwarming Moment

"Dragons, what wonderful creatures, look at these bones, how beautiful."

Viserys played with a piece of dragon bone in his hand, and returned to his normal state, speaking to Daenerys in the Common Tongue.

"Can I touch these dragon bones?" Dany asked boldly. She tried not to look at the maid Ani who stood respectfully beside her, and to keep her attitude as usual.

"Of course, my dear sister." This was exactly what Viserys was thinking.

Dany reached out to touch the dragon bones, and she first picked up the bone fragment closest to her. This bone fragment was a little broken, and it was covered with various scratches due to severe wind erosion. It was raw material that had not been polished. She touched the bone fragment carefully. It felt cold and rough, and the scratches were signs of time. Dany could not see what was special about it.

She quickly switched to the next one.

Her brother did not stop her.

Dany handled those dragon bone materials, which were obviously the cheapest among them, one by one. She found that except for their black color, they seemed to be no different from stones?
She then picked up the jeweled luxury items, carefully savoring the feeling in her hands and looking at them carefully with her eyes.

She couldn't feel or see anything, but she was saying, "How beautiful! Are these really for us?"

"Yes, I borrowed all this from Illyrio," Viserys said. "We must return it. You must wonder why I borrowed it."

【Can I say it? 】

Dany tried to act as normal as possible and responded, "Why?"

"These things would only gather dust in other hands," Viserys said in Valyrian. "I tell you, sister, there is magic in dragon bones and eggs alike. We are the descendants of the dragon. If we can unlock this magic, we can restore our kingdom."

There was a hint of fanaticism in Viserys' eyes as he spoke.

But Dany wasn't sure whether what she said in front of the maid was true or false.

Dany responded in Valyrian, "Really?" She couldn't help but look seriously at the look on Viserys' face.

Viserys continued to answer her in Valyrian: "It is rumored that there is magic in the Shadow Lands of Asshai that can hatch dragons. It would be great if there were dragon eggs. Dragon bones are easy to come by, but dragon eggs are hard to find." As he spoke, he handed Dany the dragon bone she was playing with.

Dany took the two pieces in her hands and felt a hint of warmth.

Was it Viserys's hand that warmed it, or was it simply different from the others?
Dany was silent. She was silent when she didn't know what to do.

Viserys looked at her expectantly. "You think I am delusional?"

“No, I just,” Dany said, searching her brain for what to say. “I don’t know.”

Daenerys didn't know what to say, but an impulse in her heart made her bolder. She put down the dragon bone object that Viserys handed her and reached for the sharpened dragon bone arrowhead.

Viserys did not stop her.

She used the tip of her thumb to test the sharpness of the arrow: "Ah." Accidentally, the arrow pierced her skin and blood oozed from the tip of her thumb.

"How can you be so careless." Viserys quickly moved forward and took Dany's hand in his. Without thinking, he took her thumb in his mouth.

Dany felt her fingers wrapped in warmth and wetness.

After a moment, Viserys paused and said, "You are too frail, Dany. This is not good. You are not royal." He frowned and thought, "Well, let me think about it. Let me tell you. From today on, you must come to my place every day." He picked up the dragonbone shortbow and said, "I will teach you how to hold the bow. It will be like exercise for you."

Dany couldn't hide her joy at all: "Really?"

Viserys replied solemnly, "Has your brother ever lied to you?"

Dany pretended not to hear the remark.

"Don't underestimate the use of a bow." Viserys stood up and demonstrated to Daenerys.

Viserys held the bow handle with his left hand and the bowstring with his right hand. He spread his feet slightly and leaned his body slightly forward. He stared sharply in one direction, then raised the bow and pulled the bowstring.

In a trance, Dany looked at her brother standing there with a bow in his hand, and for no reason she felt a sense of solemnity, as if she had become a different person.

"Do you see clearly?" Viserys slowly drew back the bow and relaxed. "Come, it's your turn."

Dany rose to take the shortbow that Viserys solemnly handed to her. For a moment, Dany thought of the story of Aegon the Conqueror.

Viserys said to her, "Learn to stand first. Keep your body upright and your feet shoulder-width apart." He put his hands on Dany's shoulders to correct her habitual bowing of her head. He gently kicked Dany's feet apart so that she would not put them together, which made her look timid and empty. "Lean your back slightly forward, and relax your shoulders and back at the same time. Raise your head slightly. Don't look at me, look over there, at the painting on the wall, do you see it? Don't look directly at it, use your peripheral vision to see it." Viserys corrected her standing posture, making Dany gradually look like an archer.

Then, he held Dani's hands, indicating that he would teach her step by step: "Control your breathing. Don't tense your body. Are you nervous?"

Dany's heart was pounding: "I" she was trying very hard to control it.

Viserys' voice told her in her ear: "Do not answer. Control your breathing. Follow me, inhale—exhale—inhale—exhale—"

After a few conscious breaths, Dany's heartbeat gradually stabilized.

He guided Dany's hands to the bow. "Hold the handle. Hold it between your thumbs and index fingers. Your other fingers should rest on the string. Don't squeeze the handle too hard. Hold it lightly."

Dany followed his hand, trying to imitate.

Viserys adjusted her arm position and instructed: "Okay, now start drawing the bow."

Dany's fingers were guided by Viserys to grasp the bowstring gently and pull it back slowly. The bowstring was heavier than Dany had imagined, but most of the power came from Viserys's hands.

Dany tried to control her breathing. She remembered to keep her eyes on the target.

They drew their bows in a powerful arc.

Viserys continued to instruct her. "Yes, that is it. When you aim, place your sight on the tip of the arrow. If there is no arrow, place it on your bow hand. Imagine that there is an arrow there. Use your peripheral vision. And keep your hand steady."

The action of pulling the string lasted for seven or eight breaths, until the target and her own hand were almost deformed in Dany's eyes.

"Remember this feeling. All right, draw your bow." Viserys continued, "Remember, Dany, there are no arrows now, so you must draw your bow slowly. Leaving the bowstring empty is a very dangerous behavior. It may hurt yourself and others, and it will also cause great damage to the bow. You must remember this."

Dani's answer was short: "Yes."

Viserys hummed in satisfaction, "Good."

When the warm hand covering her hand left, Dani couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. Just now, she tried very hard to listen and learn, but she couldn't help thinking about other things at the same time.

She thought of the story of Aegon the Conqueror and his sister wives Visenya and Rhaenys, and wondered if there had been such warm moments between them?
Before her face could blush, Viserys's serious voice interrupted her thoughts: "Okay, now you will practice on your own. Start with a standing position."

-

Too much happened today, and when it came to extracting information for the trivial things that happened today, Ani was also in trouble. She felt that apart from the lie that the beggar king told in Valyrian - dragon bones, dragon eggs, and magic, the rest was unremarkable, and they were all things that were not beyond expectations.

She would have to think carefully about what to say when reporting in the evening.

The Beggar King's reaction when he eavesdropped on the conversation in the garden is worth mentioning. This is definitely what the owner wanted to know most, but the Beggar King hid his emotions very deeply and said very little about it.

The beggar king's abnormal enthusiasm for dragon bones and dragon eggs was nothing new, but today's Valyrian lies might interest her master. She was not sure, but she said she would definitely tell it.

It was a new thing for the Beggar King to teach his sister how to use a bow, but his master might not care about that.

The warming of the relationship between the beggar king and his foolish sister seemed like something worth talking about, but what did it mean? The girl seemed to be in love with her brother, and her brother was a man who rarely spoke the truth.

Ani's master and Ani were both guessing the riddles thrown by the Beggar King, speculating on his exaggerated behavior, and probing his background.

The Beggar King is full of lies.

This was Ani's feeling. Among the people she had secretly spied on, this king was one of the most scheming.

This time, she might even be sent by her master to serve him.

It was just that the whore Doria from Rees was bought for a bargain. Ani didn't know what the master and the Beggar King talked about in secret, but she heard that when Doria came out, she was placed in the master's side room. The bed slave was supposed to be the Beggar King's maid, and the master bought the whore for this.

But now Ani became the beggar king's maid.

Ani knew very well that if the Beggar King asked for something, her master would not refuse.

Ani couldn't help but think about what she might encounter in the future. She could only comfort herself that at least the beggar king was not bad looking, and as long as he was not particularly perverted, she could tolerate it. Her master bought her and taught her to read just for this day.
