He then let out a low growl of dissatisfaction.

"Hmph, you bastard."

"We'll talk about this when Viserys gets back. Don't cause me any more trouble in the meantime!"

...

Then.

More than half a month has passed.

beep...

Accompanied by the sound of horns, the Andalus Legion finally returned home.

Chapter 146 Return

Rumbling--

The castle gates were pushed open, and Viserys led a group of knights into the castle.

Princess Renis, Daenerys, the maester, and many of the castle's servants came to the gate to greet them.

"Your Majesty."

Then a large number of people knelt down in a scattered manner.

Viserys was dressed in simple clothes, slightly wrinkled riding breeches and leather boots, with a leather set around his waist, in which his longsword was worn.

He wore a golden crown on his head, and his long, silvery-gold hair hung down his back, the long strands swaying gently in the wind.

Viserys Targaryen III led his army into battle at the age of fourteen, conquering the Rhoynar near Mesopotamia in six months and defeating a powerful Dothraki knight in a direct confrontation, achieving his first major victory before returning with his army.

The young king was still the same as before, only his face had more weathered features, which had removed his former childishness, and his eyes had become more profound.

His gaze swept over the densely packed group of people kneeling below, then he nodded and spoke.

"Get up, everyone."

Upon hearing Viserys speak, the people who were kneeling on the ground stood up and dusted themselves off.

Splash...

Viserys then dismounted.

The servant took the reins from him, and the many victorious knights following Viserys dismounted.

After handing the reins to his servant, Viserys strode over to Daenerys.

He looked at his sister, who was only up to his waist, wearing a large hood and surrounded by a white veil, and then knelt down and hugged Daenerys tightly in his arms.

"I'm sorry, Dani."

"My brother came home late."

Viserys had already heard the news shortly after entering Andalus.

Although Renis had very promptly ordered a news blackout, nothing stays hidden forever.

News of the fire in the castle and Princess Daenerys emerging from the flames carrying three baby dragons quickly spread throughout Andalus.

Not long after, news of Viserys's defeat of Khal Drogo at Golgotha ​​was brought back along with the trade routes.

According to the traveling merchants, the ancient Valyrian road was almost entirely littered with the corpses of Dothraki, their blood staining the Little Lorne River red.

Vultures and crows circled in the sky, vying for the rotting carcass, and the nauseating stench of decay had not dissipated even after more than a month.

Many caravans were even forced to take alternative routes as a result.

Princess Daenerys hatched dragons, and Viserys led his army to defeat the Dothraki invasion.

These two pieces of good news quickly spread throughout Andalus, and people celebrated with great joy, believing that the king was the legendary dragon destined for the throne and that one day he would reclaim the Iron Throne.

Feeling Viserys' warm embrace and smelling the strong stench of blood, Daenerys sniffed softly.

"Brother...I'm alright."

Actually, so much time has passed since then that Daenerys had long since accepted it.

But now that she has seen her family member whom she hasn't seen for half a year, and he is holding her tightly and comforting her, the girl's grievances can no longer be contained.

Her beautiful eyes, hidden behind a white veil, were slightly teary, and her tender shoulders trembled as if she were sobbing softly.

Viserys felt a pang of heartache upon hearing his sister's distressed cries.

He hadn't expected this to happen. Although he knew that Daenerys possessed true dragon blood and could hatch dragons, he hadn't expected it to happen in this way. A sudden fire, which occurred half a year after he left, killed the servants in the castle and hatched the dragon.

"May I take a look?"

Viserys then raised his head, cautiously trying to see what Daenerys looked like now.

"No...no!"

However, the girl, choking back tears, pressed her hat tightly against her head.

Although Daenerys had grown some eyebrows and hair on her bald head after so long, she was determined not to let Viserys see her current appearance.

"Ok."

Seeing Daenerys's resolute attitude, Viserys had no choice but to give up. He hugged his sister tightly one last time before standing up and looking at Renesas standing beside him.

"Thanks for your hard work."

He knew that after he left, a lot of work would fall on Renis's shoulders.

The brown-haired girl was wearing a well-fitting black velvet dress, with her hands placed in front of her.

He had just silently watched the reunion of Viserys and Daenerys, the brother and sister, and then looked up and said softly.

“It’s not hard at all, Viserys.”

"I'm just afraid you'll blame me for messing up a lot of things."

Renis looked somewhat preoccupied, after all, there had been a series of accidents lately, and she hadn't done a good enough job.

Then, seemingly afraid that Viserys would notice something, the girl blinked her beautiful eyes and gave a big smile.

"Hey--"

The girl's radiant smile caught Viserys's eye.

Looking at Renis's still optimistic and cheerful expression, he paused for a moment, then smiled, perhaps having truly discerned something.

"fine."

"No matter what happens."

Then he gently hugged Renis.

"Let's talk about the rest inside."

And while they were talking.

A dark shadow swept across the sky above them, accompanied by a deep, muffled roar.

Sharp claws gripped the castle's stone walls, sending pebbles and dust tumbling down.

"what?"

"Protect His Majesty!"

Clang clang clang—

The knights following Viserys reacted quickly, drawing their gleaming longswords and forming a circle to protect their king behind them.

Viserys, however, remained relatively calm, standing quietly within the encirclement below, one hand on the hilt of his sword, his head tilted slightly upwards as he gazed at the dark figure above.

"This is…"

Under the brilliant sunlight, the black scales reflected a metallic sheen, and the gaps between the scales resembled flowing lava. The long neck supported the ferocious head held high.

Viserys's image was reflected in a pair of scarlet eyes.

It felt that this person seemed somewhat familiar.

Viserys stood below, gazing at the dragon overhead. Because the sunlight was a bit dazzling, Viserys shielded his eyes with his hand and squinted slightly.

He suddenly felt that this dragon was somewhat similar to the one he had seen in his dragon dream.

"It is... Bellerion?"

Chapter 147 Prison

Soon after.

Inside the castle's main hall.

Viserys bathed to cleanse himself of the filth, then changed into lighter clothes before sitting on the throne to hear about Renis's achievements during her regency.

Meanwhile, the black dragon Belerien lay sprawled on the ground beside the throne, his heavy breathing echoing throughout the hall.

Viserys gently stroked its head with one hand.

"So much has happened in this period of time?"

Viserys was slightly incredulous after hearing the maester's report, then turned to look at Renis.

However, the brown-haired girl seemed to be in a much better mood. She bit her lip, a smile appearing on her face, a hint of pride mixed with a desire to conceal it for fear of Viserys noticing. Finally, she uttered...

"Fortunately."

She had expected Viserys to scold her for making such a mess of things.

Unexpectedly, Viserys did not blame her. Instead, he praised her for doing a good job, saying that with her in charge at home, he would be better able to defend against external enemies.

After being praised by Viserys, Renis felt a little smug, and all the anxiety and unease she had felt earlier disappeared.

Seeing the optimistic smile finally return to the girl's face, Viserys was completely relieved.

Then, the smile on his face faded slightly, and he got down to business.

"No wonder I didn't see Bessie and Millie."
