Chapter 2 Escape From King's Landing
soon.
The old maid took Viserys down the Maegor House and came to the ballroom on the first floor.
This ballroom in the Maegor House is mainly used for royal banquets and dance parties, and it can accommodate more than 100 people.
The arched windows let in sunlight, and it shone on the silver mirrors in the ballroom. Rows of lit candles swayed gently, and the whole ballroom was brightly lit.
There is a long corridor on the second floor of the ballroom, and the heavy walls are also hung with ornate wood carvings and exquisite brocade and satin, and two three-headed dragon flags, which symbolize the Targaryen family, hang on both sides of the gate.
The entire Maegor Tower is actually a castle within a castle. It is located in the center of the Red Fort. It has a city wall and a moat that is twelve feet thick. As a royal residence, its defense capability is naturally unbreakable.
And Viserys followed the old maid to the ballroom, and found that a lot of guards had gathered here, all sorting out their gear and weapons.
The figure of Viserys and the old maid walking in caught their attention, but they just glanced at it, and then went back to their own business.
"His Royal Highness Prince."
A middle-aged man with gray-black hair and wearing leather armor and breeches was also wiping the long sword in his hand. When he saw Viserys walking in, he nodded slightly and greeted him.
The other Kingsguard in a white robe heard the voice and turned his head to look at Viserys.
Locked by the gazes of the two knights, Viserys clenched slightly inwardly with the five fingers under his sleeve, but on the surface he was still very calm, greeting him slightly politely.
"Hello."
"Sir William."
Sir William Darry is the head coach in the Red Fort. He is mainly responsible for training the combat skills and formations of the guards in the Red Fort. He is also very good at fighting, otherwise he would not have held such an important position.
And his brother is Ser Jon Darry of the Kingsguard, who followed Prince Rhaegar in the war against the rebellion. After the Battle of the Trident, his life and death are unknown.
Then Viserys turned to look at the young-looking Kingsguard, nodded and said hello.
"Sir James."
The white-robed knight didn't say a word, he held the hilt of the sword around his waist with one hand, and looked at Viserys' figure strangely.
was walking past him.
Although he had been in the Kingsguard for a short time, he was not very familiar with the members of House Targaryen, especially this second prince.
But after all, they all live in the Red Fort, and usually look down and not look up, he always feels that there is an inexplicable strangeness in Viserys today.
It seems that the back is straighter, but the attitude is a little more humble.
James gripped the hilt with five fingers, then turned his eyes to him.
And Viserys ignored the gazes of everyone looking at him. Although his heartbeat was a little faster at the moment, he seemed to have found some state.
The more difficult it is, the more tenacious he will remain. This is a characteristic that he has retained in his previous life and this life.
Viserys came to the seat in the middle of the hall. Sitting on the seat was a gorgeously dressed silver-haired woman. He didn't look up, just bowed slightly and saluted.
"Mother."
The atmosphere in the ballroom was still solemn and solemn, but he had no idea what was going on.
"Viserys."
Then, a tired voice sounded from above Viserys' head.
Queen Layla stretched out her hand through the boy's waist, hugged her son gently, and then rested her head on his side face.
"my child."
"I have something terrible to tell you..."
Viserys could clearly feel his mother's body trembling slightly, and the strong woman in this voice had actually reached the climax of collapse.
The redness, bites, and scratches under the velvet dress were the marks left on her by her mad husband between the beds of the night when the bad news came, but Layla Targaryen, a strong woman, was still there. Persevere.
Although she was heartbroken by the death of her eldest son, the news of the country's precariousness, and the mental and physical trauma she had suffered last night, she had to recover for Viserys and the child in her womb.
Fortunately, her husband still retained a trace of reason in the madness, knowing that the situation might be irreversible, and eagerly ordered a team of Red Keep guards to escort Queen Layla and his second son Viserys to Dragonstone Island.
And Aerys II himself stayed in King's Landing to prepare for a desperate fight against the enemy. He would never hand over the capital to the rebels completely. He would fight to the death with the traitors.
Because the rebels are not far from King's Landing.
Although the raven has already heard the news, Tywin Lannister, Duke of Casterly Rock, a friend of His Majesty, has decided to send troops to the King. But after all, nothing is finalized, so it is the right way to take the lead in escorting the queen and prince from King's Landing.
…
wow-
Fully armed soldiers were on the left and right, and the maid mounted the carriage with Queen Leila, who was already inconvenient to walk, and then pulled down the tent, which was tightly closed.
And Viserys followed her mother, ready to board the second carriage.
At this time, a small episode seemed to suddenly occur in the team.
A little brown-haired girl ran out of nowhere, and the guarding soldiers didn't know the inside story, so they turned a blind eye to the girl.
As the team commander, Sir William hesitated for a moment, then sighed, and finally chose to remain silent.
The little brown-haired girl ran to Viserys' car, pulled his clothes and raised his cute little face, as if asking where they were going and why they didn't take her with him.
"Let's go"
Viserys recognized who the girl was from memory, but he hesitated a little at the moment, clenching his fists.
He knew very well that he still hadn't even figured out the situation clearly, and rationally speaking, he shouldn't make extra troubles.
but
The silver-haired boy gritted his teeth and finally was heartbroken, then reached out and pulled the little girl, and took her directly into the carriage.
Then a little black cat running from behind also easily jumped to the roof of the carriage.
"Hey! Bellerion!"
The little girl in the carriage screamed with excitement, and then Viserys covered her mouth.
"uuuuuu"
The boy in the carriage looked out of the carriage nervously, then pulled back the curtain and whispered in her ear.
"Hey…"
"Be quiet for now, Renice."
finally.
Gollum-
As the wheels rolled on the flagstone road, the hoofs tapped the ground to make a sound.
The knights held the weapons in their hands tightly, and a team escorted two carriages hurriedly opened the gate.
Leaving the Red Fort and heading into the distance.
