"Roar roar roar~"
An endless expanse of Dothraki, clad in animal hide armor, their chaotic hooves trampling the setting sun, surrounded by kneeling, submissive allied soldiers. Viserys soared through the sky on his dragon, the wind whistling past his ears.
The magnificent capitals of the seven kingdoms lay ahead, gradually becoming visible in the distance.
At that moment, the silver-haired dragon knight, riding on the dragon's back, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were pale purple with long eyelashes, and his pupils reflected the light of the setting sun.
He turned his head to look east, his five fingers clenching slightly.
"Ho-"
Then Bellerion let out a deep, melodious roar that echoed throughout the sky. The dragon roared and its wings soared into the clouds, flying in the opposite direction from the setting sun.
The throne is within reach.
The Dothraki below, along with the submissive Seven Kingdoms coalition, were slightly agitated upon seeing the dragon suddenly fly away.
But the unrest quickly subsided, as this wasn't the first time something like this had happened during this period.
Viserys rides a dragon through the sky, and for some unknown reason, he will suddenly leave for a while, but he will soon return.
No one paid any attention. Kago, clad in animal hide armor with an Arak scimitar strapped to his waist, looked up at the direction the dragon had gone, then shouted a few words in Dothraki, flicked his whip, and pointed it toward the distant capital of the Seven Kingdoms.
The mighty army continued its march toward King's Landing.
The Dothraki army arrived in King's Landing at dusk, accompanied by Oberyn Martell and Princess Arianne Martell. In an instant, King's Landing was adorned with banners and a vast army had gathered.
The people of King's Landing had never seen such a large army gathered here, and there were many foreigners who lived only in legends and had never even met them.
A group of Dothraki people reeking of a foul stench, the smell of which came from the number of people they had killed.
The strong warriors had long braids, each had one to three warhorses, and were highly skilled in martial arts with ruthless eyes. When the Dothraki clashed with the Gold Robes, a single Dothraki Roaring Warrior scared away ten Gold Robes.
The pregnant Princess Dorne was placed in the Red Keep, next to the eldest princess's bedroom.
Cersei Lannister, who had once been the master of this place, and her two children were forced to move out, from the king and queen’s bedroom to the servants’ quarters in the Red Keep, while Oberyn moved into the Tower of the Hand.
The arrival of the Dothraki army and the allied forces of the seven subjugated nations brought not only the good news of the recapture of the Riverlands, but also their greatest spoils of war.
Robert Baratheon the Usurper has recovered from his injuries during this time and is being held captive in the dungeons inside the Red Keep.
Eddard Stark, the Duke of Winterfell, was in the same situation. These two unfortunate brothers were quite destined to be together, as their prison cells were not far apart.
However, problems arose when Stannis was imprisoned. He and a group of ordinary nobles were imprisoned in the dungeons of King's Landing, but they were suddenly attacked by a group of people. Stannis was kidnapped and disappeared without a trace.
The city of King's Landing is a complex place, and this was the first time Renis had come to realize this. Upon hearing the news, she ordered a thorough investigation, which ultimately revealed that it was the work of Davos, 'The Onion Knight,' a former subordinate of Stannis.
He disappeared after the Battle of Riverrun, but unexpectedly arrived in King's Landing before the main army, where he had hired a group of underground forces and mercenaries who were already preparing to break him out of prison.
However, due to the large number of people protecting the army along the way, they had no opportunity. Finally, they took advantage of the complex forces, terrain, and population in King's Landing to launch a surprise attack.
Davos Seaworth bribed several of the Gold Robes to create a breach in the defenses.
Only then were they able to successfully launch a surprise attack, take Stannis, who was imprisoned in the prison wagon, and disappear without a trace.
The Onion Knight's former profession was a smuggler, a seasoned veteran of the underworld, so he was extremely familiar with the intricate underground forces of King's Landing and the passages leading out of the city. The Golden Robe couldn't find Stannis's whereabouts for the time being.
Stannis's disappearance wasn't a huge deal, since he was now all alone, but it wasn't a trivial matter either, because he still had the right to claim responsibility, and Renis was still very angry.
The Capital Garrison has made a series of mistakes, first letting Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer, go free, and then allowing Stannis to be kidnapped.
Renis was deeply disgusted by the corruption of the Capital Garrison. She ordered the hanging of several Goldcoats who had been bribed by Davos and took the opportunity to dismiss Genos Sterling, the commander of the Capital Garrison, who had distinguished himself in the surrender of the city, and replaced him with Black Worm.
Black Bug assured Renis that he would completely transform the capital's garrison, training the soldiers to the standards of the Unsullied.
However, the turmoil in King's Landing that night was not yet over.
Viserys' prolonged absence caused concern, and his pregnant fiancée prayed silently.
May the gods of heaven grant Viserys a safe return.
Arianne's biggest dream was to become a queen, but the reality of life made her never dream that her once unattainable dream would be so close to success in the blink of an eye.
The Targaryen army has captured King's Landing, the banner of the three-headed dragon flies over the Red Keep, and even the dragon bones stored in the cellars have been brought up again, replacing the Baratheon family tapestries.
Reines touched Arianne's swollen belly, even curiously pressing her ear against it, before finally pulling away and speaking out.
"I think I can hear the baby's heartbeat!"
"He's only a few months old, so what you're hearing is probably my heartbeat."
Princess Dorne, upon hearing Reines's words, chuckled and pinched Reines's smooth cheek with her fingers.
"With such a beautiful woman like my sister lying on top of me, of course my heart would race."
Renis blushed slightly; she seemed to have been teased by her cousin.
Because there has been no deliberate publicity, few people actually know that Renis and Arianne are cousins, and that Renis's mother is Arianne's aunt.
However, Renis seemed to realize something and asked curiously.
"Does your sister know whether you're carrying a boy or a girl?"
Arianne raised an eyebrow upon hearing her words, but still shook her head.
"It is said that some scholars can deduce the sex of a child by observing the mother's diet, but Dr. Marwin is not good at this and therefore cannot deduce it either."
Dr. Marvin stayed in Pentos, mainly immersed in his research on Valyrian ruins.
"But I hope it will be a boy."
Then, the beautiful woman with exotic charm spoke with longing.
Chapter 457 The Fall of the Titans
And at this time.
"Your Highness."
bang bang—
Mia, a member of the Imperial Guard standing guard outside, knocked on the door and came in after receiving permission.
As Arianne's personal bodyguard, her main responsibility was to protect the safety of the unborn child in the future queen's womb.
The White Knight then told Reynard and Arianne that Cersei, the usurper's wife, and Catelyn, the Duchess of Winterfell, had come to request a visit to their imprisoned husbands.
"Oh?"
Renis pondered for a moment after hearing Mia's words. A wife's longing for her husband was worthy of sympathy. Although Stannis had been kidnapped during the day, the Red Keep was heavily guarded, and two women with no strength could not rescue their husbands from there.
"can."
The eldest princess nodded slightly.
Although Arianne is Viserys's betrothed queen, in his absence, the military and political power of the Targaryens still lies in the hands of Rhaenys, not Arianne.
The reason is simple: Viserys loves and trusts Renis the most, and Renis is also a pure-blooded dragon knight with considerable combat power.
The red-haired female knight, dressed in white armor and with the Dragon Slayer Sword at her waist, heard Reines's words and glanced at the expressions on the two princesses' faces.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Then he nodded slightly and stepped back.
Although Robert Baratheon was called the usurper by the Targaryen family, he was, after all, the King of the Seven Kingdoms, recognized by the world.
Eddard Stark is the Lord of Winterfell. The Stark family has long been established in the North, and their beliefs are deeply ingrained.
Stannis's title of Duke of Dragonstone sounds impressive, but it consists of only two fishing villages, and besides, he no longer has any fiefdom.
The two were said to be imprisoned in the dungeons of the Red Keep, but in reality they were in a semi-circular low tower above the entrance to the Red Keep dungeons, a place known as the 'Traitor's Corridor,' where the cells on the top floor were for prisoners with status.
Robert and Eddard Stark were there. Footsteps echoed down the corridor. The jailers had been replaced by Unsullied soldiers, who silently led the two into their cells, torches held aloft.
"Ed!"
The cell door opened, and Caitlin Tully rushed forward and embraced her husband tightly.
Then, as if remembering something, she quickly checked her husband's body to see if he was injured.
She heard news of the Battle of Riverrun, which was said to be a repeat of the Battle of Wildfire, where the dragon's flames and the barbarian's iron hooves destroyed the allied forces, and countless nobles and soldiers died on the battlefield.
Including Randyll Tarly, a famous general in the South, who disappeared on the battlefield and whose fate remains unknown. There are rumors that he may have been burned to ashes by dragonfire and that his body could not be found.
Therefore, Caitlin lived in constant fear, terrified that something might happen to her husband as well.
Eddard Stark, imprisoned in the Red Keep, was not bound hand and foot. Although he looked somewhat haggard, he was otherwise in good health.
“Kate.”
Upon seeing his wife arrive, the two embraced tightly.
In another cell, Robert had lost a lot of weight during this time, and the contours of his face had become somewhat like those of his youth, but the charisma and energy in his eyes were no longer what they used to be.
He watched as his good friend and his wife reunited in the cell next to him, and suddenly felt a pang of sadness.
His wife, Cersei, also appeared at the prison door. The once elegant and noble queen now looked like a phoenix fallen from a phoenix tree, having lost all her pride except for her beautiful appearance.
The blonde woman stood by the cell door, looking at her husband sitting on the edge of the bed. Robert, with his unkempt beard and eyes that gleamed in the darkness, was also looking at his wife. After a moment of silence, Robert asked in a low voice.
Where is Joffrey?
"Joffrey is reading in his room; they only allowed me to come alone."
Cersei took a deep breath and then spoke.
"Humph."
However, Robert, sitting on the edge of the bed, merely snorted, clearly not believing that his son was reading at the moment.
No one knows a son better than his father. Although Robert didn't care much about his children's education, it was clear that Joffrey wasn't someone who would read books on his own initiative.
Although he scoffed dismissively, Robert's eyes still held a hidden affection for his own flesh and blood; after all, Joffrey was also his son...
"Have they agreed to spare Joffrey and Myrcella's lives?"
Robert then asked, having already learned that Cersei had surrendered the city to save her children's lives.
But Robert didn't blame her.
It was impossible for a woman to hold onto King's Landing all by herself. Robert could understand why she chose this path to save her children's lives.
"It's not clear yet."
Cersei shook her head.
