Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

The western border has a flat coastline, making it relatively easy to breach its defenses from the sea. This is why the Iron Fleet always raids the western border, and the western border does not actually have any very powerful fleets.

"Okay, it's settled then."

Viserys readily nodded. Oberyn was intelligent, and his strategies and tactics were sound; ultimately, it all depended on how well he performed on the day.

Then the silver-haired youth pushed the table and stood up, and the other ministers also hurriedly stood up.

"His Majesty."

"His Majesty."

Viserys' first royal council at the Red Keep went quite smoothly, resolving many outstanding issues in one go.

Oberyn decided to send troops immediately and bring Lord Tywin before Viserys' public trial of the guilty, thus missing Viserys' wedding to his niece.

Arianne was very disappointed that her uncle would not be attending her wedding.

Princess Dorne felt closer to her Uncle Oberyn than to her father, Prince Doran. She believed that Uncle Oberyn was a true Dorne man who dared to love and hate, while her father was weak and incompetent, indifferent even to the murder of his sister.

night.

The Maeger Tower in the Red Fort is the most central location within the Red Fort, where the kings, queens, and other members of the royal family have lived for generations.

After arriving at the Red Keep, Viserys naturally moved into the King's bedroom, which had previously been occupied by Robert and Cersei, and by his parents, King Aerys and Queen Rhaela.

"Thank you for your hard work these past few days."

The room was dimly lit by candlelight. Viserys held his fiancée's soft hand in one hand and placed the other on her pregnant belly.

"My hardships are nothing compared to yours, my love."

Princess Dorne gazed lovingly into her long-lost lover with her deep eyes. Her nose was high and straight, and her chest seemed even fuller than before she was pregnant.

"I miss you."

Arianne gently kissed Viserys's cheek with her alluring red lips, then chuckled softly, her fingers slowly moving down his chest to undo his belt.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Moreover, pregnancy can stimulate the rise of certain hormones.

Viserys vaguely remembered that the first and last three months were not... but at this moment he couldn't recall how many months had passed.

And at this time.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

bang bang—

Then the female knight's calm voice rang out.

"His Majesty."

...

Benjen Stark and Allisha Thorne, along with other Men in Black, escaped death in the icy North.

They were first trapped in the cellars after the Battle of Winterfell, and later escaped before the Stark ancestors rose from their graves.

No one knows how they survived except themselves, including Tyrion, whom they rescued.

Tyrion only knew that they seemed to have been saved by a mysterious figure, or rather, a 'god', who was known as the 'Three-Eyed Raven'.

The Three-Eyed Raven seemed to possess immense power, almost having supernatural abilities, guiding them as they stumbled through the North until they finally found a ship and successfully escaped the North, sailing towards Dragonstone.

The Three-Eyed Raven saved them, but also made a request: he wanted them to help him find a silver-haired, purple-eyed person who rode a dragon.

He didn't say the person's name, only describing his appearance, and everyone present instantly understood that he was referring to Viserys.

However, the Three-Eyed Raven shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know what his name should be either.

However, if the people find him, they hope they can pass on their message that he wants to meet the other party.

"The Three-Eyed Raven?"

Viserys sat in the chair in front of his bedroom desk, looking at Benjen Stark with a slight frown.

Chapter 472 Sharing the Darkness

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Benjen, who had been kneeling, stood up after receiving a slight nod from Viserys, his grey-blue eyes still showing a hint of trepidation.

He knew that his brother had been defeated and captured, and was now imprisoned in the dungeons of the Red Keep. As a member of House Stark and Eddard's own brother, he was already lucky that he had not been captured.

They came to King's Landing from Dragonstone with the Golden Company army and had been living there for some time. Apart from waiting for Viserys and not being able to leave, their personal freedom was not restricted.

When Ed was first brought back, Benjen wanted to ask to see his brother, but the warden refused, saying that only Lady Catelyn was qualified to visit him.

This was with the permission of the Princess, who felt sorry for the lady's longing for her husband. Now that she had seen Viserys, Benjen wanted to ask for permission.

"Your Majesty..."

But he opened his mouth and then hesitated. Benjen was cautious by nature, and he was afraid that if he couldn't visit his brother, he would be locked up again, and his nephews and nieces would lose their last support in the unfamiliar city of King's Landing.

After hearing the word 'Three-Eyed Raven,' Viserys remained silent for a long time, deep in thought, before finally snapping out of his reverie and looking at the chief ranger before him, asking a question.

Did the Three-Eyed Raven say why it wanted to see me?

Viserys knew that the Three-Eyed Raven was not very mobile; he seemed to be trapped inside a giant weirwood tree, relying on its energy to sustain his life.

But why did he send Benjen and other soldiers of the Night's Watch to find him?

Viserys remained wary of this 'relative,' after all, the other party seemed to possess magic and wield one of the most mysterious powers in the world.

time.

He could roam freely in the ocean of time, gazing into the future and seeing many things from the past. Viserys feared that his existence would be exposed, causing more trouble.

For a long time, crows were the most unwelcome creatures in his castle.

When Viserys was young, he would practice archery with the crows on the castle roof. The black cat would also go back to catch the crows on the roof. The guards and servants who knew Viserys well would think that His Majesty hated crows, so they would all work together to kill the crows.

The crows suffered heavy casualties, and the castle almost became a no-go zone for them.

"do not know."

When Benjen heard Viserys' question, he quickly shook his head, dismissing the idea from his mind. Then, recalling briefly the first time he saw the Three-Eyed Raven, he spoke.

"He... might seem very anxious?"

Benjen and his companions lost their way in the icy north, suffering from hunger and exhaustion. Finally, guided by a female forest child named Leaf, they arrived at a mysterious cave where they met the Three-Eyed Raven.

He had long, snow-white hair and a scarlet eye, and was extremely thin and dressed in rags.

When Banyan first saw him, he even thought he was a 'dead man' until this 'dead man' suddenly opened his mouth and spoke, which startled him.

He said he couldn't see the road ahead, and the world might be destroyed.

He said the strongest tree roots would be deep in the dark earth, and someone was looking for him and would find him sooner or later, it was only a matter of time, because they were both in the dark depths.

"Darkness is their cloak, darkness is their shield, darkness is nourishing them."

Benjen Stark recalled the words of the old man, whose hunched back, wrinkled face, and weirwood frame had become one with him.

Every word he said was profound and obscure, requiring careful reading and understanding.

Benjen and the Night's Watch brothers encountered the Three-Eyed Raven just before the Battle of Carin's Bay.

At that time, Viserys and his Dothraki army had not yet arrived in Westeros.

Benjen speculates that the apocalypse the Three-Eyed Raven refers to is a war between humans and the White Walkers without the intervention of dragons, which ultimately ends with humans being defeated by the White Walkers and the world being swallowed by darkness.

However, in reality, before Benjen and the others could find Viserys, he had already led his army to successfully land in Westeros and, together with the human alliance, repelled the White Walkers.

"Someone is looking for him, and will find him sooner or later?"

"Are they both in the depths of darkness?"

Viserys was taken aback by Benjen's words, and his understanding of the Three-Eyed Raven, Blood Raven, began to surface, while more doubts arose in his mind.

Brynden River, also known as the Three-Eyed Raven, is no ordinary man. He was the legitimate bastard son of Aegon IV and Lady Milissa Blackwood, and is also one of the 'noble bastards'.

He served as Hand of the King for Aerys I and Mecca I, but was later imprisoned in the Black Dungeon by Aegon V. Before his execution, he chose to join the Night's Watch and became the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. He disappeared in Aegon's 252.

If the Three-Eyed Raven wields the power of the Old Gods, or if he himself is an Old God, then what is he implying?

Viserys knew perfectly well that the person the Three-Eyed Raven spoke of searching for him was the Night King. What was the connection between the White Walkers and the Old Gods? Why were both shrouded in darkness? Why was the Night King so determined to find the Three-Eyed Raven?

However, these questions remain unanswered until he meets Brinden Rivers.

This world is vast, with the Golden Empire and the Land of Shadows at its ends, filled with countless secrets. Sensing the gazes of his fiancée and Benjen, Viserys could only temporarily suppress his inner doubts and nodded.

"If I have time, I will go see him."

Where is he in the North?

Although humans have rarely ventured into the North since the White Walkers retreated and the Bay of Kalin was destroyed, the only route is by the sea.

It still seemed to be a frozen wasteland, with the snow and ice not yet melted. Viserys planned to wait until he had settled things in the south before considering matters in the north.

However, if it's just to see the Three-Eyed Raven, there's no need to wait that far; he can ride the dragon and fly to the North at any time.

Whether that place was the Night King's territory or not was not a big issue for Viserys.

The Night King, the Three-Eyed Raven, and himself are all special beings who have transcended humanity; it is extremely difficult for any of them to defeat the others.

"I don't know where he's hiding."

"The Children of the Forest say that their dwelling place is unpredictable and difficult for ordinary people to find. As long as Your Majesty comes to the vicinity, they will find you."

Chapter 473 The Second Coronation

The Three-Eyed Raven seemed to have something urgent to see him, but Viserys was in no hurry.

Then Benjen took out a branch and gave it to Viserys. He carried the branch to the borderlands, where the Three-Eyed Raven would sense it.

In the year 293 of the Aegonian calendar, in the spring after a harsh winter, humanity, having endured a difficult and painful winter, finally ushered in a new dawn.

The coronation of a new king requires a very complex and cumbersome process. Although the Seven Kingdoms are not yet fully stable, the four rebel armies still claim that they will storm King's Landing and kill Viserys and his dragon.

But the people of King's Landing were not alarmed, because for many of the older residents of the capital, the Targaryen family, as the royal family of the Seven Kingdoms, was already deeply ingrained in their hearts.

While nations rise and fall and dynasties change rapidly, the Crowned Stag family only held the throne for about ten years, which was not enough to change the deep-seated beliefs in people's hearts.
