Chapter 11 Going to Sea

"never mind."

So the silver-haired boy scratched his hair slightly, and simply stopped thinking about it.

He did not forget that even if he escaped to Duskvale City, he still did not escape the danger completely. Only when he left Westeros and came to the sea might he breathe a sigh of relief.

And now he hasn't slept all day and night. Even though the two souls are more tenacious than others, some of them can't support it.

He was in desperate need of rest now, and then waited until Ser William woke up to find him and his mother to discuss the itinerary out of Duskdale for Dragonstone.

He didn't know much about the history at hand, but he still remembered that Westeros would fly the banner of the Crown Bucks of the Baratheon family for more than a dozen years.

This is the trend.

The Targaryen dynasty is exhausted, destined to be destroyed in this usurper war.

And now he's just a seven-year-old boy who can't do anything, let alone turn the tide.

For Viserys now, including the long-term future, there is only one task, that is.

live.

…

Day and night have passed.

early morning.

Seriously wounded and stabbed in the side by a sword, Sir William Darry finally awoke from his coma.

The middle-aged instructor's face was a little pale, but after the bachelor's treatment and adequate rest, he was able to recover a lot, and he could walk down the ground with support.

And outside.

fluttering--

The raven fluttered its wings and flew from a distance, then landed on the wooden stick, tilted its head slightly, and flashed light in its blue eyes.

There was also a letter wrapped around Raven's lap.

The maester in charge of caring for the raven quickly came over, soothed the raven, fed it a snack for encouragement, and took the letter from the raven's leg.

Tread

Then the footsteps gradually faded away.

In the banquet hall of the Brown Castle, Earl Rifleigh carefully sat on the side seat, beside Queen Layla.

It was because of the change in Dusk Valley City that the Darklin family was all executed by His Majesty the King, and he seized the opportunity, with luck and strength, to take over Dusk Valley City and Brown Castle.

And now this Usurper War, Earl Lake decided to stand on the side of the royal family after careful consideration.

He believes that the Targaryen family will be able to suppress the rebellion, and this is also an opportunity for him to lead the family to make another leap.

"Your Majesty the Queen."

Earl Lake, who was slightly fat, sat on a chair with a big belly, and the chair made a creaking sound.

At this moment, he held a piece of information from King's Landing in his hand and handed it to the silver-haired woman.

Duskvale City is not far from King's Landing, because of the defeat in the Battle of the Trident River, the location of Duskvale City is also somewhat dangerous now.

However, now the rebels have no time to clean up these nobles who are still loyal to the royal family, and the rebels are pointing directly at King's Landing.

And the other side.

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

Robert's two younger brothers, Stannis and Renly, are also in the city, and now they are alive and dead. If it wasn't for the main goal of attacking King's Landing, Robert would even want to go south to rescue Storm's End himself.

Although Revere still took the risk and chose to be loyal to the royal family even when the battle situation was getting worse, it did not mean that he would choose to remain loyal.

He is also constantly sending out personnel to collect information from King's Landing, adapting accordingly, and now it is the collected information that is handed to Queen Layla.

On the surface, it seems that everything has not reached the hardest moment.

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

But for some unknown reason, His Majesty Aerys II did not choose to open the gate of King's Landing and let the army of the Western Region enter the city for the first time, but shut them all out.

"Will His Majesty be too careful?"

And Earl Lake, who was sitting next to him, looked at Queen Layla's face and cautiously probed.

"Would you like to write a letter to persuade Your Majesty?"

However, listening to Earl Lake's words, Queen Layla's expression did not show anything, but her fingernails holding the information were slightly pale.

He finally took a deep breath and shook his head.

"No need."

"I trust the king's judgment."

She also wanted to borrow a raven from Browncastle to write a letter to remind her husband to be careful with the Lannisters.

However, now that she has received the news that the army of the West has arrived in King's Landing, she knows that it is too late.

Because of the journey to and from, I don't know how long this news has passed. Based on what women know about their husbands, they are stubborn, crazy, suspicious, and repetitive, but sometimes they are soft-hearted.

She believed that the Lannister family might have tricked into opening the city gates and rushed into King's Landing.

The Targaryen Dynasty is over, but... even if King's Landing falls, it is not the most desperate moment. Queen Layla knows that she must be strong, for her two children and her granddaughter.

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

Just don't know if the kid is a boy or a girl.

This discovery made Queen Layla very happy, because she had been pregnant many times before, but only Rhaegar and Viserys managed to survive, and the remaining children were either dead or still babies.

She hopes to have another child.

"I've been a guest at Brown Castle for a long time."

The silver-haired woman was silent for a while. Sitting on the main seat, he put down the information in his hand, then raised his head and looked at Earl Lake, his voice kept as calm as possible.

"Lord Riveley Lake."

"I think the ship to Dragonstone is ready."

Hearing Queen Layla's words, Earl Lake also hurriedly stood up.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you can leave at any time."

Although he wanted to keep Queen Layla and Prince Viserys behind, so as to gain greater benefits in the future, but now that the rebel army is strong, Earl Lake did not dare to keep Queen Layla in Browncastle for a long time.

Otherwise, Brown Fort is not enough for the rebels to drink a pot of tea.

Another half day.

Viserys finally got his wish and set foot on the sea.

wow-

The waves beat gently on the boat, and the sky and the sea were joined together, and there was no end in sight.

Viserys sat on the bow, his silver-blond hair was blown by the sea breeze, and his jewel-like eyes blinked.

It's not that he hasn't seen the sea, but every time he comes, he can't help but indulge in it and can't extricate himself.

He likes this kind of calm and peaceful atmosphere, which can even make him forget his troubles for a short time.

Today's sea is like a mirror. Except for the brig splitting the mirror and making waves, everything else is calm.

Under the golden sunlight, scattered in the field of vision is as dazzling as broken gold.

Behind Viserys, there were many people on the deck in different costumes, speaking with different accents. This is a merchant ship from the nine free trade city-states, and the owner of the ship is said to be a merchant from Braavos.

They need to stop at the small port of Duskdale to supply some resources, and then set off back to the mainland of Essos, the final destination is Pentos.

And the two-masted merchant ship will stop briefly at Dragonstone as it crosses the narrow sea.

So when Duke Lake contacted the owner of the merchant ship, the other party agreed immediately. They only charged a small amount of golden dragons to escort Queen Layla and Prince Viserys to Dragonstone Island.
