Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Is it because of his bloodline? He is a Targaryen.

Viserys's thoughts were wandering, his mind was gradually becoming active, and this was the first thing that came to his mind, which was the biggest difference between him and others.

The true dragon blood of the Targaryens.

However, he then realized that the writing displayed within the black mist was all High Valyrian.

Viserys hesitated slightly.

"Is it because I am a Targaryen, or because... I am a Valyrian?"

There are many descendants of Valyrians left in this world, but Viserys seems to be one of the lucky ones.

He sat on the edge of the bed, resting his chin on his elbow, and thought for a long time, but due to his limited knowledge, he still couldn't figure out the reason.

There is no free lunch.

Viserys possessed wisdom beyond his years, even in his small frame, and he knew it well.

So when they finally receive a gift from heaven, they become overly cautious.

Chapter 11 Going to Sea

"never mind."

So the silver-haired boy scratched his hair slightly and decided to stop thinking about it.

He hadn't forgotten that even after escaping to Duskwood, he was still not completely out of danger. Only when he left Westeros and reached the open sea could he perhaps breathe a sigh of relief.

He hadn't slept for a day and a night, and even though he had merged with two souls and his spiritual power was more resilient than others, he was still starting to feel the strain.

He desperately needs rest now, and then he can wait for Sir William to wake up and find him, along with his mother, to discuss the journey from Duskwood to Dragonstone.

He didn't know much about this period of history, but he still remembered that for the next decade or so, the banner of the Baratheon crowned stag would fly over Westeros.

This is an inevitable trend.

The Targaryen dynasty was doomed and destined to perish in this war of usurpers.

He is only a seven-year-old boy and cannot do much, much less turn the tide.

For Viserys, now and for a long time to come, there is only one task:

live.

...

A day and a night have passed.

early morning.

Seriously wounded, with a sword in his ribs, Sir William Darryl finally awoke from his coma.

The middle-aged coach's face was somewhat pale, but after the scholar's treatment and sufficient rest, he had recovered considerably and was able to walk a few steps with assistance.

But outside.

fluttering—

A raven flapped its wings and flew in from afar, then landed on the stick, tilting its head slightly, its blue eyes gleaming.

A letter was still tied to the raven's leg.

The scholar in charge of caring for the raven quickly came over, comforted it, fed it a treat as encouragement, and then took the letter from the raven's leg.

Tap tap...

The footsteps then gradually faded into the distance.

Inside the banquet hall of Brown Castle, Earl River Lake sat cautiously to the side, beside Queen Leila.

He seized the opportunity to take over Duskwood and Brown Castle because of the Duskwood Incident, in which the Darklin family was executed by His Majesty the King. Luck and strength combined to give him a chance.

Now, in this war of usurpers, Earl Lake has decided, after careful consideration, to stand on the side of the royal family.

He believed that the Targaryen family could suppress the rebellion, and this was another opportunity for him to lead his family to new heights.

"Your Majesty the Queen."

Count Lake, who was slightly overweight, sat in a chair with a large belly, and the chair made a creaking sound.

He held a letter of intelligence from King's Landing in his hand and handed it to the silver-haired woman.

Duskvale is not far from King's Landing, but due to the defeat at the Battle of the Trident, its geographical location is now somewhat precarious.

However, the rebels have no time to deal with the nobles who are still loyal to the royal family, and their forces are now heading straight for King's Landing.

On the other side...

House Baratheon's Storm's End is currently under siege by Mace Tyrell, Lord of Highgarden, and has been besieged for a year.

Robert's two brothers, Stannis and Renly, are also in the city, and their fate is unknown. If it weren't for the main objective of attacking King's Landing, Robert would have even considered personally heading south to relieve the siege of Storm's End.

Although Riverley risked remaining loyal to the royal family despite the increasingly dire situation, this does not mean he would stubbornly choose to remain loyal to the death.

He was also constantly sending people to gather intelligence from King's Landing and adapt to changing circumstances, and what he was delivering to Queen Leila now was the information he had gathered.

On the surface, it seems that things have not yet reached their most difficult moment.

The army of the Westerlands, led by Tywin Lannister, Duke of Casterly Rock, appears to have arrived in King's Landing.

However, for some unknown reason, His Majesty Aerys II did not immediately open the gates of King's Landing to let the western army into the city, but instead kept them all outside.

"Isn't His Majesty being a little too cautious?"

Count Lake, sitting to the side, observed Queen Leila's expression and cautiously probed.

"Should you write a letter to persuade His Majesty...?"

However, Queen Leila's expression remained unchanged as she listened to Count Lake's words, revealing nothing, though her fingernails, gripping the intelligence report, turned slightly white.

Finally, he took a deep breath and shook his head.

"No need."

"I trust the King's judgment."

She had originally intended to use the ravens of Brown Castle to write a letter to warn her husband to be wary of the Lannisters.

However, upon receiving news that the Western Army had arrived in King's Landing, she knew it was too late.

Because of the long journey, it's unclear how much time has passed since that message was sent. Based on a woman's understanding of her husband, he can be stubborn, irrational, suspicious, and fickle, yet sometimes surprisingly swayed by reason.

She believed that the Lannisters might have already tricked their way through the city gates and stormed into King's Landing.

The Targaryen dynasty was already doomed, but... even though King's Landing had fallen, it was not the most desperate moment. Queen Leila knew she had to be strong for the sake of her two children and her granddaughter.

Even before she left King's Landing, she was found to be pregnant again.

We just don't know if the child is a boy or a girl.

This discovery delighted Queen Leila, as she had been pregnant many times before, but only Rhaegar and Viserys survived; the rest of her children either died or were stillborn.

She hopes she can have another child.

"We've been visiting Brown Castle for quite some time now."

The silver-haired woman remained silent for a moment. She put down the intelligence report in her hand, sat in the main seat, and then looked up at Earl Lake, trying to keep her voice calm.

"Lord River Ray Lake."

"I think the ships to Dragonstone are ready."

Upon hearing Queen Leila's words, Earl Lake quickly stood up as well.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you may depart at any time."

Although he wanted to keep Queen Leila and Prince Viserys to seize greater benefits in the future, the rebels were currently too powerful, and Earl Lake dared not leave Queen Leila at Brown Castle for long.

Otherwise, the troops in Brownburg wouldn't even be enough to keep the rebels entertained for a moment.

...

Another half day has passed.

Viserys finally got to set foot on the sea as he had always wanted.

wow-

The waves gently lapped against the hull of the ship, and the sky and the sea merged into one, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Viserys sat at the bow of the ship, the sea breeze ruffling his silver-gold hair, and blinked his jewel-like eyes.

He wasn't unfamiliar with what the sea looked like, yet every time he came, he couldn't help but be captivated by it.

He liked this peaceful and serene atmosphere, which even allowed him to temporarily forget his troubles.

Today, the sea is like a mirror; apart from the two-masted ship splitting the surface and creating slight waves, everything else appears calm and undisturbed.

Under the golden sunlight, the scattered objects in the field of vision shimmered like broken gold.

Behind Viserys, on the deck, were numerous people in various attire, speaking in diverse accents. This was a merchant ship from one of the nine free trading cities, and its owner was said to be a merchant from Braavos.

They need to stop at the small port of Duskvale to replenish some resources before setting off back to the continent of Essos, with their final destination being Pentos.

The two-masted merchant ship would make a brief stop at Dragonstone while passing through the Narrow Sea.

So when Duke Lake contacted the owner of this merchant ship, the owner immediately agreed. They only accepted a small amount of gold dragons to escort Queen Leila and Prince Viserys to Dragonstone.

Chapter 12 Dragonstone Island

The days at sea were monotonous, and several more days passed quickly.

night.

Under the deep darkness of night, the surging waves crashed against the ship's deck with a deafening roar.

wow-

The two-masted merchant ship cut through the wind and waves, tearing through the fog that filled the sea, and in the distance, an island shrouded in the night gradually emerged into view.

Then it gets bigger and bigger.

Viserys stood on the deck, holding the little black cat. The sea breeze ruffled his hair, and his face was flushed. He had been suffering from the ravages of the sea breeze for some time and had come to deeply appreciate the hardships of the crew.
