The girl blinked, somewhat bewildered, unsure of what the scholar had shown her. She was still somewhat angry, but after calming down and thinking it over, she realized that both sides seemed to have made mistakes. So how should a fair trial be conducted?

Is Your Highness thinking of justice?

The grey-robed scholar looked into the girl's eyes and then suddenly spoke.

"Uh-huh?"

Rene was reminded by the maester's voice, and she snapped out of her reverie, then looked at Maester Gunther and nodded.

"Master Gunther, shouldn't we uphold justice?"

"It is indeed right to enforce the law impartially."

The scholar nodded, agreeing with Reines's point of view.

"However, Your Highness, as a nobleman, you have judicial authority over cases within your territory. You can make adjustments freely within the framework to strive for a good outcome."

"Because the purpose of the law is not punishment but admonition..."

Chapter 120 Fire

"Not punishment?"

The girl's fair fingers clenched slightly beneath her gathered sleeves, as if she had come to understand something.

"Yes, Your Highness."

“If the law is strictly enforced, a husband who commits intentional injury will be mutilated as appropriate, while a wife who commits adultery will be publicly whipped or even stripped naked and paraded through the streets.”

"As for that neighbor, he committed theft, so naturally he will lose one of his hands."

“In that case, all three people were severely punished, but now only one person has received the punishment he deserves, while the other two have been given a warning.”

The scholar placed his ten fingers interlaced on the table and patiently explained to the brown-haired girl wearing a crown.

Ta-da!

However, just then, a series of hurried footsteps were heard from behind the main hall, and a guard rushed over.

"Your Highness!"

"Bachelor's degree!"

"Something terrible has happened!"

Meanwhile, Renis and Maester Gunther, who were sitting in the main hall, also noticed a burning smell in the air.

They then exchanged a glance and abruptly stood up.

...

Because the construction of the castle in Andalus was rushed in the early stages, a large amount of wood was used in its construction.

The entire city of Andalus is filled with wooden houses, and it was once known as the 'City of Wood'.

A few years ago, an unprecedented fire caused severe damage, and since then, Viserys has ordered the gradual elimination of wooden buildings in the city and their replacement with stone.

However, this process is not so simple; the construction of a magnificent castle may take several years, or even decades. Although Viserys knew the shortcomings of wooden houses, it was impossible to replace them quickly with a single order.

Therefore, the buildings in Andalosburg still contain a lot of wood, including the main building where Viserys and the two girls lived.

early morning.

A sudden fire caught everyone off guard. No one expected that a fire would suddenly break out in this humid spring season. However, by the time Renis and the Maester reached the main building, the fire had almost engulfed the entire royal bedroom.

Thick smoke billowed into the sky, and crimson flames spewed from the windows, accompanied by screams of agony. Clearly, many people were trapped inside the castle in the fire.

"Hurry up!"

"Run!"

The surrounding guards, under orders, all started running and kept pouring water inside to put out the fire, but no one dared to actually rush in to rescue people.

It was clear that the fire was now out of control, with flames and thick smoke shooting into the sky and a pungent, acrid smell filling the air.

Renis and the scholar arrived at the scene at that moment. The brown-haired girl turned pale instantly when she saw the raging fire.

Then he saw that Knight Bessie was also there, and hurriedly ran over anxiously to ask.

"Lord Bessie, has Daenerys emerged yet?"

However, they saw the young Andal knight turn around, his eyes red-rimmed, and he was instructing the guards beside him to pour water onto a blanket.

At this moment, Bessie had taken off his outer clothes, revealing his strong muscles. He also had a seven-pointed star tattooed on his shoulder, symbolizing his faith in the Seven Gods, as if he wanted to personally rush into the fire to save people.

Because his widowed mother also remained in the castle; she was the old maid who took care of Daenerys.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness!"

"I will rescue His Highness!"

Looking at Reines' beautiful face, Bessie forcibly suppressed her worry for her mother, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and then knelt on one knee to solemnly swear.

"please."

Please be careful in everything you do.

Then, the loyal young Andal knight donned the heavy bedding that was completely soaked with water, and braved the flames and smoke to plunge headlong into the main castle.

Meanwhile, Renis and the others continued to wait anxiously outside the castle.

boom--

However, not long after, a loud explosion came from the sea of ​​fire. It seemed that the fire had broken the roof beams, causing it to collapse and bury everything.

"Meow~"

At that moment, a black cat, as black as a small lump of coal, leaped out of the sea of ​​fire. Flames were still burning on its tail, and much of its fur was singed, but its eyes remained bright.

wow——

Then the little black cat was doused with a basin of water from head to tail by the guard, extinguishing the flames on its body, and then it ran towards Renis.

"Belle Rien!"

When Renis saw the little black cat escape from the fire, the anxiety on her face eased a bit, and she even shed tears of joy.

This was a small comfort to the anxious girl.

She hoped this was a good sign, that Sir Bessie could rescue Daenerys from the inferno, otherwise she didn't know how she would face Viserys.

Then the long brown-haired girl knelt down and hugged Bellerion in her arms.

...

And in that sea of ​​fire.

A little girl with silver curly hair was quietly holding her dragon egg, seemingly fast asleep. Flames, like little red sprites, swirled and danced around her, singing for her.

Then.

The girl's nightgown was set ablaze, flames danced across her smooth, fair skin, and her beautiful, silvery-gold hair, like molten silver, was teased by the mischievous elves.

Eventually, the firelight completely engulfed Daenerys, leaving the girl completely naked, curled up in a huddled position.

Daenerys was still asleep, her brow furrowing slightly as if she sensed some discomfort or was disturbed by the surrounding noise. She then continued to curl up, tightly embracing her 'Viserion'.

The girl's fair skin was like a piece of solidified cream, pressed tightly against the pale milky white dragon egg.

At that moment, the dragon egg also emitted a barely perceptible sound.

at the same time.

The ceiling supporting the castle finally succumbed to the fire and collapsed instantly with a tremendous roar.

boom--

This instantly woke Daenerys from her sleep.

"what happened?"

The girl opened her eyes and was horrified to find herself completely engulfed in flames.

Even... some of them seemed familiar.

"Am I dreaming?"

Daenerys looked around in a daze, but everything in sight was completely engulfed in flames.

In fact, she had a similar dream several months ago.

She dreamt of a white dragon singing for her, then it opened its gaping maw and spewed forth a torrent of blue flames, burning her house to the ground.

This was exactly what she was seeing.

Chapter 121 Review

A raging fire broke out in the city of Andalus.

Meanwhile, a fierce battle is raging far away at the confluence of the Upper and Lower Lorne rivers.

The combined number of people from both sides exceeded 20,000, who gathered in this ancient city-state filled with ruins.

The shouts of battle were deafening, the bugle calls were mournful, the sound of horses' hooves striking the ground was like thunder, and the air was filled with a nauseating stench.

Andalus's army employed various methods to resist the Dothraki's attack, and the Dothraki seemed to have learned their lesson and were no longer so reckless in their all-out assault.

Even so, the Dothraki paid an extremely heavy price to successfully reach Andalus's army.

The numerous small pits initially seemed to serve no purpose, but their effectiveness became apparent when the Dothraki army charged close.

One after another, galloping warhorses rushed forward and could not stop. In their panic, their hooves accidentally stepped into a pit that was not very deep, only about the size of a horse's leg.

boom--

Instantly, dust and smoke dispersed, and half of his body tilted to the ground.

The horse's leg, which had sunk deep into the ground, was snapped off by the force of the impact, and it let out a painful neigh. The warhorse's massive, heavy body collapsed onto the ground, kicking up dust.

With the horse's leg broken, the Dothraki warrior riding it naturally met a similar fate, being thrown from his horse and crashing heavily to the ground.
