Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon.

Chapter 56 Pulling out the nail

When Daenerys woke up, she was still a little dazed.

Outside the window, there is the sound of waves hitting the shore, and the night is getting dark.

She realized what the dream she had just had was about: it was the prophecy.

Dany remembered the day at the Lord's feast in Tyrosh when a red priest said he saw her in the flames. He had spoken a prophecy to her. She found she remembered it all, word for word. The priest had spoken in Old Valyrian: "'Red clouds hang high in the sky, and hear the beasts roar. You will go east, and the light is your way. You will pass through the shadows to raise the fire, and burn!'"

That was just a small episode that day. What happened afterwards was so exciting and stressful. Her mind was full of the gold coins in the interlayer of Viserys' bedside box these days, so she almost forgot about it.

Dany thought that she should have found an opportunity to tell her brother Viserys quietly earlier.

He knows everything.

But to Daenerys's surprise, when Viserys learned this information from Dany, Viserys' face once again showed the surprise and panic he had when Daenerys told him that he had dreamed of ghosts.

Only then did Dany realize that the situation was probably very serious.

Daenerys became flustered and asked, "What's wrong?" She couldn't help but hate herself for ignoring the information that seemed very important. Viserys had told her several times that she should tell him as soon as possible if she had any strange encounters or dreams of anything unusual.

This time, Viserys did not ponder for a long time like last time, but quickly made some kind of decision.

Viserys spoke calmly, as if it were a minor incident. "It is all right, Dany. You have done nothing wrong. Do not blame yourself. There are too many things I have not told you. I have been too careless. Go wash your face. Remember, once you have washed your face, pretend nothing has happened. Return to your table and read your book."

"I..." Viserys' calm appearance made Daenerys feel a little relieved. "Okay." She walked to the basin of water in the room, washed her cheeks with clean cold water, calmed down a little, and then went back to the desk beside her bed to read.

Viserys didn't wait long, calling out to Jorah, "Jorah, come in."

Jorah, who was standing guard outside the door with Butch, heard the voice and immediately pushed the door open. He walked straight in and looked at Viserys, who seemed to be writing something on the table and did not look back at him. "My lord, you summoned me?"

Without even turning his head, Viserys ordered him: "Go and get Arnie. She should be in the cabin with some wine."

Qiao La didn't find it strange and went out to find Ani.

When Jorah came back from finding Ani, Viserys had already written something, a letter. He put the letter full of words into the mailbox, and then carefully and carefully waxed the envelope and stamped it with a tin seal. After doing this, he spoke to Jorah and Ani who were waiting by the side: "Call Butch in too."

Soon Butch also came into the house.

Viserys looked solemn, as if he had something to announce.

At this time, Daenerys was still reading a book at the desk behind the screen, but she couldn't read a single word in the book.

Viserys began to speak: "Arnie, you are my handmaiden, the proof of my friendship and agreement with Magister Illyrio. You should be the bridge between me and Magister Illyrio. Now is your time to play your role. Here is a letter that I need you to deliver to Magister Illyrio in person. I want you to find a ship in Lys and return to Pentos immediately. Inquire about Magister Illyrio's current location. He may be working for me now. You must find him as soon as possible. Remember, you must hand him the letter in person!"

Viserys did not give Ani a chance to speak. He spoke directly to the next person, that is, Butch: "Butch, Ani is my maid, a woman. The sea route back to Pentos is not safe now. I am worried about her going alone. I want you to protect her safety and ensure that the letter is delivered to Magister Illyrio. Do you hear me?"

Butch looked up and saw Viserys waiting for his reply. He nodded and replied, "Yes."

That was the good thing about Butch. No matter what he thought, he would not argue. He would obey orders. Viserys was reluctant to get rid of this thorn.

"Ani, take it." Viserys handed the letter to her, looked at her seriously, and took out a bag of money from his waist and handed it to her. Viserys held her hands solemnly - this was the first time Viserys touched her, "The letter you are going to deliver is very important, it is related to the great plan between me and Magister Illyrio! You must hand it to him personally!"

From the moment Viserys opened his mouth, Ani knew that she would be excluded from the next trip by Viserys. Even if there was a blank piece of paper in the envelope, she had no reason to stay. She could only say: "Master, I will definitely hand the letter to the governor personally."

Since Ani understood what was going on, she saved Viserys from having to talk too much. "Come on, I'll take you to find Captain Grole. He's well-informed. I'll let him help you find the ship back in Pentos. I'll be at ease."

With that, Viserys led the way out. Before leaving, he turned back and called Daenerys, "Dany, you come too, just to see off Arnie and Butch."

Daenerys quickly put down the book in her hand and followed. Hearing that Viserys was going to ask the maids and eunuch guards to rush back to Pentos as soon as possible, Captain Grole only expressed a little curiosity, and after being perfunctorily, he began to respond to Viserys's request in a sophisticated and calm manner: "Since you have something to ask me to do, my lord, I should satisfy you. How about this, you ask Miss Ani and Butch to follow me to the dock, and I will definitely find a good ship for them with my old face."

"Captain Grolet is here personally, that's very kind of you," Viserys said, touched. "I'll go with you. As it happens, we're not planning on going to the city today, so I'll take them aboard myself."

"." Grolai smiled, "Sir, you are so kind to Miss Annie."

Viserys smiled as well. "Of course."

They all quickly disembarked and went to the dock to find a ship. Viserys did not let Daenerys come with them. He just asked her to stay on the ship and wait on it, leaving only Jorah with her.

Daenerys realized that Viserys did not want her to leave the ship, so she just watched them from the deck as they ran along the dock. She couldn't help but look at the huge Red God Temple on the top of the highest mountain in Lys in the distance, wondering why Viserys was so eager to get rid of the people he didn't trust.

In her bizarre dream, the red cloud was the sky of the Red God Temple, and the roar of the dragon that was faintly calling her was inside the temple. This was probably what her brother Viserys feared.

As Daenerys tries to sort out the clues.

Ser Jorah, who was guarding beside her, suddenly sighed: "From a distance, Lys is a beautiful city. But when you are really in it, you will find that it is full of ugliness."

Dany noticed that Jorah looked sad. Unable to sort out her confused thoughts, she spoke up and asked Jorah, "You have been to Lys, Ser Jorah," she was sure. "Are you afraid of this city? Are you afraid to leave the ship?"

Dany knew that Jorah's fear must be different from that of her brother Viserys.

"You have eyes for seeing the hearts of men, as does your brother, my lady." Jorah gazed toward a certain part of the city. "That is the house of Trig O'Mollen, a trade prince of Lys. My wife, Lynesse, is his favorite concubine."

Dany was stunned by what Jorah suddenly said about his own experience. She paused for a moment before politely comforting him, "I am sorry for what happened to you, Ser Jorah."

"Love," Jorah said suddenly, "is like the beautiful glassware of Myr. It is beautiful when intact, but sharp and hurtful when broken." He suddenly sighed and looked at Daenerys. "Excuse me, Lady Daenerys, you love your brother, right?"

"." Dany tried to calm her heart, which suddenly began to beat rapidly. She thought about what Viserys would say at this moment, so she asked, "What do you want to say, Ser Jorah?"

"You are reading the Ballad of the Seven Kingdoms, my lady. You should know the ballad of 'Dragon Rider' Aemon Targaryen and his sister Naerys Targaryen."

Aemon the Dragonrider is the protagonist of the most famous love ballad in the Seven Kingdoms. The ballad is about the bard's doomed love for his sister, but both Aemon and Naerys's songs are sad and bitter.

Aemon and his sister Naerys were inseparable since childhood. It is said that Aemon and Naerys loved each other, but Naerys was finally married to the "incompetent" Aegon IV. On the day of Naerys's wedding to Aegon, the ballad said that they both cried. Shortly after Naerys's wedding to Aegon, the 17-year-old Aemon joined the Kingsguard.

Ballads say that Aemon protected Naerys throughout her life as a member of the Kingsguard, but Naerys's life was full of tragedy.

After Aegon IV ascended the throne, Aemon served as the captain of the Kingsguard. Aegon IV was dissatisfied with Aemon's feelings for Naerys, and planned to arrange people to compete for the championship of the tourney and give the crown of the Queen of Love and Beauty to his mistress to humiliate Queen Naerys. However, Aemon won the tourney as the Knight of Tears to ensure that his sister Naerys would become the Queen of Love and Beauty and not let his sister be humiliated.

Later, rumors spread that Aemon had committed adultery with Naerys, claiming that Aemon was the biological father of Daeron II. To refute these rumors, the dragon rider challenged the "evil" Ser Morgul who spread the rumors and killed him, thus vindicating the honor of his sister, Queen Naerys.

But no matter how many songs are sung to praise, remember, and lament, it cannot change the regrettable ending of Dragon Knight Aemon and Naerys.

They were never together after all.

"No," Dany protested. "My brother is not Aemon, and I am not Naerysse. He is the king."

Jorah said: "Your brother wants to restore the country, Lady Daenerys. The usurper married Cersei Lannister for the throne. It is said that he is deeply in love with Lyanna of the Stark family and has no feelings for the queen. In order to jointly usurp your father's throne, Hoster Tully, the Duke of Riverrun, married his youngest daughter Lysa to the gray-haired Jon Arryn."

"Shut up!" Dany didn't want to hear this. She looked over coldly, "What is your purpose in saying this, Jorah?"

"I'm sorry, Lady Daenerys, I shouldn't have said so much," Jorah smiled sadly. "But, alas, you bear a strong resemblance to her."

"Stop it!" Danny interrupted him, "I should have asked my brother to keep Butch, not you."
