Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Then, when everyone had shut their mouths and their eyes were on him, he nodded slightly and spoke in a calm tone.

"go."

Why not go?

Viserys's answer surprised everyone present except for Oberyn and Bessie.

"I dared to go to Braavos alone when I was eight years old, so why wouldn't I dare to go to Pentos now?"

Are we regressing as we get older?

"but..."

Many of the court ministers looked at each other, wanting to say that these two issues were not the same at all, but they opened their mouths but did not say anything.

"Besides... there are still half of the governors who are conservatives, so things may not necessarily turn out badly."

Viserys smiled, then slowly suppressed it.

Oberyn, however, was already confident and marveled at the tremendous changes that had taken place in the young man over the years.

Think back to the first time he met Viserys. The boy was asleep in the bath because he was too tired. When he opened his eyes, he saw a stranger. His eyes were full of panic, but he still clenched his fists and pretended to be calm.

"He's not just brave..."

"Just bravery—"

For some reason, a line from a folk song suddenly flashed through Oberyn's mind.

That tells the story of a wandering knight who sets out on a lonely journey.

...

The afternoon meeting ended quickly.

Viserys did not ask them to stay for dinner.

After the meeting, Oberyn was unsurprisingly waiting for him outside the door.

"Shall we take a walk together?"

Oberyn had a tall, slender figure with a narrow waist and broad shoulders, and his physique looked perfect. He had messy black curly hair on his head and a light beard.

Then he slightly raised his chin.

"can."

Viserys wasn't surprised that Oberyn was waiting for him at the door, and simply nodded.

There is a garden inside Andalosburg.

Although no rare or precious varieties are planted, they still provide a splash of vibrant color. However, the weather has been getting colder lately. Although the continent of Essos does not border the Land of Eternal Winter, it is still inevitably affected by the southward movement of the icy winds.

Many of the flowers in the garden have withered now.

However, the two men weren't really there to admire the flowers; it was just an opportunity for them to have a private conversation.

"His Majesty."

"Prince."

A passing servant saw the two walking side by side in the garden, bowed slightly in greeting, and then, not daring to disturb them, hurriedly left into the distance.

"That's a risky move for you, Viserys."

"Are you sure Pentos will fall for it? And... what if it fails?"

sunset.

The sky was blood red, just like the color of that divine weapon.

The two walked side by side in the garden, their shadows falling on the smooth marble slabs. Viserys, only fifteen years old, was just a little shorter than Oberyn.

Then it was this same Prince of Dorne who broke the silence, turning his head to look at Viserys and speaking.

Viserys and Oberyn can be considered a close friend despite their age difference, as they are more than ten years apart in age.

Interestingly, the two of them actually had common topics and sometimes had some whimsical ideas to discuss, which led them to become friends.

Oberyn would address Viserys as "Your Majesty" in official settings, but in private he would call him by his name, and Viserys did not object to this.

"A risky move?"

Viserys turned to look at Oberyn.

He knew Oberyn's concerns were not unfounded; on the surface, it certainly seemed like a risky move, but...

“This is no risky move, Oberon.”

Oberyn could guess his intentions, so he wasn't surprised.

After all, the two had known each other for so long, and from the beginning, Oberyn had never treated him as a child, but as an adult.

In addition, this guy is indeed smarter than others. No wonder he obtained six Maester Links. Oberyn can guess Viserys' thoughts many times.

but...

It was such a shame that this guy died in the original timeline.

The Mountain was not a threat; Viserys never considered him an opponent, even though his hands were stained with Targaryen blood.

Viserys could kill such a reckless man with just a few dozen soldiers or by digging a trap.

The people Viserys truly considered formidable enemies were Robert, Stannis, Tywin Lannister, Eddard Stark, Randyll Tarly, and many others...

A guy who could easily make a living with his brains insisted on a one-on-one duel with the number one villain in the Seven Kingdoms.

Viserys looked up at Oberyn, but his gaze sent a chill down Oberyn's spine.

"what?"

Prince Dorne unconsciously scratched his head slightly, somewhat puzzled.

However, Viserys didn't explain much to Oberyn, he just shook his head.

“Oberyn, I would never joke about my own life. I’m more afraid of death than many people.”

"If I dare to do this, I must have something to rely on."

He knew that Pentos's trip might be dangerous, and he was even a little nervous about it.

However, he was still willing to bravely give it a try.

After all, this is the best way to break the deadlock. If we don't seize this opportunity, it will be extremely difficult to make any further progress.

Winter is coming.

This is the best opportunity.

"Oberyn, believe me."

A chilly wind blew through the garden, and Viserys smiled.

"Is that so?"

Oberyn, however, was somewhat confused; he was still reeling from the look Viserys had given him...

That feeling... was like looking at a dead person.

what's the situation?

Oberyn stood in the garden, bewildered, watching Viserys's figure gradually disappear into the distance.

Chapter 190 Dinner

After dusk, night soon arrived.

Dinner was, as usual, a Targaryen family feast.

Daenerys, whose hair and eyebrows were burned off by fire, has now grown her body hair back, so she has taken off the hat that she had been wearing on her head.

The girl now has soft, short, silver-gold hair and looks dashing.

She sat on the right side of the long table in the banquet hall, and opposite her was her niece, Rhaenys Targaryen, who was four years older than her, although the girl was always forced by some kind of coercion to call Rhaenys "older sister."

Viserys was sitting at the head of the table, but his seat was now empty, indicating that he was late today. The long brown-haired girl was resting her chin on her hand, looking rather sullen.

Then came a commotion outside the door, followed by the sound of steady footsteps.

"His Majesty."

The maid bowed respectfully and then pushed open the door to the banquet hall, where the young king strode in.

Viserys was quite busy with official duties today.

I stayed up all night last night to summarize the plan that I had already come up with, and came up with a detailed plan.

In the morning, they also dealt with the intelligence brought by Rams.

In the afternoon, a royal meeting was to be held in the name of the king. He had barely eaten any food at lunch and was already starving by the end of the day.

"Hey, Renis, Dani, sorry I'm late."

Viserys hurried in from outside and apologized to the two girls first.

He then draped the coat that was hanging from his elbow over the back of the chair, and the maidservant serving him quickly took it and helped the king tidy up the coat and hang it on the hanger.

"I'm starving! I'm starving! Let's eat!"

The silver-haired little girl, who was lying on the table, saw her brother finally arrive and quickly got up, her eyebrows dancing with joy, raising her knife and fork as if cheering.

She was already very hungry.

However, they have always had a small rule: the whole family must be present before they can eat, except when someone is out.

"Humph--"

The brown-haired girl sitting on the other side of the table let out a cold snort for some reason, seemingly expressing some kind of dissatisfaction.

Then the girl's dark eyes swept over Daenerys, who was holding a knife and fork, and she spoke stiffly.

"Dani, have I ever told you that knives and forks are not toys?"

"You can't move except when you're eating."

Although Rhaenys is usually carefree and easygoing, she can be quite intimidating when she criticizes someone seriously, especially Daenerys, whom she raised from a young age.
