However, time has not left many marks on her appearance or her heart. She still holds a little black cat in her arms as always, her slender white fingers gently combing the cat's fur. The cat also lies lazily in its owner's arms, stretching slightly.

This is a scene that appears absolutely beautiful to onlookers, serene and breathtaking, so beautiful that even bystanders can't help but stop and admire it, reluctant to disturb it.

At that moment, a hoarse, piercing scream shattered this beautiful scene.

A large, old black cat with faded, grayish-white fur was lying on the low wall of Yin Geng Garden.

It looked down at the woman below and the offspring in her arms, whose number was unknown. Its eyes turned into vertical ones, filled with a sense of danger.

The languid atmosphere was broken by the meowing of a cat. Renis, who was sitting in a rocking chair wearing a long dress and a sweater, slightly opened her eyes and saw an old black cat with fading fur lying on the low wall. She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Belarion?"

However, the little black cat lying in the lady's arms was so frightened by the cry of its ancestor that it trembled all over.

Then, it meowed twice and jumped off Renis's lap, disappearing in a flash into the fragrant wild rose bushes.

The old black cat that suddenly appeared on the wall of Yingen Garden was the same little black cat that Renis brought out of the Red Keep more than thirty years ago. Its name was Bellerion, the same as that of the black dragon.

At that moment, Renis saw a caravan being assembled inside the Red Keep. Viserys boarded the carriage, and she thought he wanted to leave her behind and sneak out to play, so she chased after him. The little black cat took the opportunity to escape from her arms.

Upon learning of his future destiny, Viserys gritted his teeth, reached out, and for the first time changed the course of the world, thus altering his own fate.

He pulled Renis onto the carriage, saving the girl from being stabbed more than fifty times by Tywin's knights. The little black cat named 'Balerian' saw his mistress get into the carriage and jumped onto the front of the carriage as well.

However, more than 30 years have passed, and the innocent little girl has become a gentle and kind middle-aged woman.

But this little black cat, who should have died of old age long ago, has exceeded the limits of life and is still by its owner's side.

Therefore, when Viserys reached out, he changed not only the girl's and his own fate, but also the fate of the young Kevan Lannister and the cat.

"Hey, Bellerion, tell me honestly, where have you been all this time?"

Renis watched as the old black cat jumped down from the wall, walked to her side, and lay down skillfully, waiting to be petted. Then, she couldn't help but grab the scruff of its neck, lift it up, and questioned it in an annoyed tone.

Bellerion disappeared some time ago, and for more than half a month, he vanished without a trace. They searched the entire palace on Dragonstone but couldn't find him.

If Renis hadn't known that her cat already possessed supernatural abilities and wasn't just an ordinary old black cat, she would have even suspected that Bellerion had died somewhere.

However, it has lived as a cat for more than 30 years. Now, instead of dying of old age, it can still run and jump, and even beat up a certain ignorant pet dog that doesn't know how to pay respects to its master.

Would a cat like this get lost or even die in some unfamiliar corner?

But just as the woman was angrily scolding her disobedient old black cat, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a figure dressed in white standing quietly under the shade of a pine tree, watching her from the corner of her eye.

"Ok?"

When Renis first saw this person, she was stunned for a moment, then her whole body suddenly trembled, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

The young man, dressed in simple white, looked at his wife from ten years later. He never expected that their first meeting after so long would feel like the first time they had met.

However, more than thirty years ago, she was a little girl holding a small black cat, while now, as a middle-aged woman, Rene is holding an old black cat by the scruff of its neck.

Viserys's lips twitched slightly. He wanted to tease his wife as he always had, but looking at her familiar face, a sense of vicissitude and unfamiliarity rose up again, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.

What mistake has Bellerion made this time?

However, as soon as Viserys finished speaking, Renis threw the old black cat out of her hand. Bellerion landed pitifully with a scream, heartbroken at being abandoned by his master.

"Viserys!"

Renis ran towards Viserys and they embraced tightly.

Then the old black cat stood still, shook its long fur, and ran over to Viserys's feet, nuzzling him affectionately with its head.

Clearly, after all these years, not only the people, but also the old black cat named Bellerion, have not forgotten Viserys.

Chapter 984 Gift

Viserys kissed his wife's forehead lightly, and a surge of golden power flowed from his palm into her body.

The old black cat sensed this power. Being a cat by nature suspicious, it couldn't help but feel terrified and seemed to want to get away, but in the end it believed that Viserys would not harm it, so it stayed where it was.

Inside Renis's body, the brown-haired woman felt a surge of heat that flowed from her forehead into her body and then quickly spread throughout her body.

The hidden ailments that had accumulated in Renis's body over the years were instantly swept away, like the blazing sun melting ice.

However, when Renis opened her eyes again, she was as if she had been reborn.

The woman's eyes were clear and bright, her delicate and firm skin was elastic, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes had all disappeared. Rene, who was almost forty years old, instantly looked like she was twenty again!

"Viserys".

She underwent a complete transformation, accomplishing in an instant what every woman dreams of in her lifetime, yet Renis didn't care.

Her eyes were fixed on her husband, sparkling with starlight, before she asked.

Are you ready?

Before his seclusion, Viserys told his three wives about the current situation: R'hllor intended to unify the entire realm of Asgard, and he had already taken action against the Valyrian gods, and now he had his sights set on the gods of Westeros.

Therefore, when Renis saw Viserys emerge from the pass, she naturally knew what her husband was about to do.

"Ah."

Viserys looked at Renis, heard her words, his smile faded slightly, and then he slowly nodded.

"I am ready."

"Victory or defeat hinges on this moment; it's a matter of life or death..."

Viserys didn't finish his sentence, because he didn't know what awaited him next.

The names of the Seven Gods, the Drowned God, the Old God, Rahlo, and others flashed through his mind. He felt that things were not so simple, yet he had no clue what to do.

Don't say that.

However, Renis held up a finger to his lips, signaling him not to say anything unlucky, and then spoke decisively.

"I believe you, Viserys."

...

In other parts of the world outside of Dragonstone.

Arianne, who had rushed back to King's Landing from Summerhall to handle state affairs due to the spread of the plague in the Riverlands, was now sitting on the balcony of Maegor Tower facing the sea.

She felt the gentle sea breeze and looked at the surging waves in the distance. Then she spaced out for a moment, her thoughts drifting back to when she was fifteen and first met that boy.

At that time, Arianne was an ambitious but naive young girl, while Viserys was equally spirited, leading a hundred guards and risking his life to join forces with the ragged prince of the Windblows to seize the first free trade city-state, Pentos.

By seizing Pentostan, the Grion family not only broke through the encirclement woven by the Iron Throne through diplomatic means, but also gained the economic foundation for a counterattack against Westeros, as well as the engine for its soaring growth, laying the foundation for the future empire's map.

Arianne was on her way to Andalus by ship at that time.

She was still on the ship imagining what kind of person Viserys would be.

Will he become my husband, the one I love most? Is he handsome? Will he be...strong?

However, more than twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the girl who once had wild and imaginative dreams has disappeared.

Arianne has fulfilled her ambitions to the fullest extent, and even accomplished things she never dared to dream of back then.

She became the ruler of a vast empire, ruling from behind a curtain in the throne room with a crown on her head, and commanding armies with a single order.

Is she still the same person she used to be?

Will Viserys come back?

Approaching fifty, with her children soon to be married and becoming grandmothers, Arianne felt the sea breeze blowing, and her eyes suddenly reddened for some reason.

She suddenly realized that all her plans over the years seemed like child's play.

Do the husband see these plans as childish games?

However, at that moment, a figure from the lake involuntarily appeared in her mind, yet it felt strangely familiar to her.

"It's you!"

Arianne was slightly startled for a moment, and before she could react, a surge of power rushed into her body.

Despite taking great care of themselves, women begin to age at an alarming rate once they pass forty.

Although Arianne and Renis are only about five years apart in age, Arianne already has some gray hairs at her temples, and no amount of skincare can hide the crow's feet around her eyes.

But at this moment, this golden light poured into Ariane's body, and in an instant, just like Reines, it swept away all the ailments accumulated in her body, making her feel healthier than ever before, and instantly returning her to the state she was when she was around twenty years old.

"Viserys!"

Arianne suddenly stood up from her chair, her whole body trembling slightly, but this was not the fatigue of recovering from a long illness, but rather utter excitement.

The image she had just seen in her mind was that of her husband, but it had vanished without a trace.

"My love, you're finally back! Where are you?"

Arianne suddenly shouted in the bedroom, attracting the attention of the court maids. Sansa had already married, so naturally a new maid had been assigned to her.

"His Majesty has returned?"

Upon hearing Arianne's voice, the maid hurriedly pushed open the door and came in, only to find Arianne standing alone on the balcony.

"Perhaps the Empress misses him too much..."

Arianne's maidservant felt a pang of sadness upon seeing this scene. As Her Majesty the Queen's maidservant, she understood Arianne better than most people.

The Queen loved her husband more than anyone else, not as the rumors suggested.

However, the maid then inadvertently caught a glimpse of Ariane's face, and her mouth gaped open, remaining agape for a long time.

Meanwhile, on the continent of Essos, Daenerys, who was riding on the back of a dragon and burning the rebels below, suddenly sensed Viserys's gift.

Immediately, just like her two older sisters, all her fatigue and ailments vanished, and she regained her youthful appearance.

"Brother, you're finally back."

The little queen, with her silver-gold hair, had tears glistening in her eyes; she knew Viserys had finally returned.

On Dragonstone, Viserys did all this, and then his gaze turned to his three children.

Chapter 985 Seizing Power

This is the benefit of becoming a connection between the gods in the heavens and the realm of the gods. Viserys, staying on Dragonstone, could simply look out and the whole world held no secrets for him.

He saw where his three children were now, which also represented their position in this succession struggle.
