Chapter 26 The Crisis Is Coming

Standing on the stool, the boy was lying on the windowsill, the salty and wet sea breeze was blowing in the face, breathing the faint smell of burnt and blood in the air, and the silver-blond curly hair was lightly rubbing on the white forehead.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

The distant bell has stopped, but the boy's inner annoyance has not disappeared.

He hates this feeling and leaves his fate to others to control, because this naval battle directly decides his life and death.

If the Dragonstone fleet is defeated, he, his mother, and Rhaenys cannot escape wherever they hide.

After all, Dragonstone is so big.

The sea is like a cage where they are imprisoned, and there is no room for escape.

Viserys decided to wait until after this matter, if the Dragonstone fleet could repel the incoming enemy, then he would do something to change his status quo.

Just like.

Persuade her mother to abandon Dragonstone Island and lead the fleet to escape to the Eastern Continent.

However, Viserys also knew that it was difficult to do so, after all, Dragonstone meant so much to House Targaryen.

Although he has been crowned Viserys Targaryen III, he is still young, and even the so-called 'king' is just a title, and even the guards at the door will not take it seriously.

A 'king' who was only seven years old and who lost his throne and fled all the way, had no power at all, and even commanding a servant would require a nod from his mother.

On the entire Dragonstone Island, except for the fleet commander, Queen Layla's words are decisive.

And just as Viserys was thinking about it, he suddenly seemed to think of something.

Since she was attacked by the Lannister family on her escape half a year ago, Renice has had the habit of having nightmares in the middle of the night.

The little girl was often awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night, and then the crying pear blossoms ran to Viserys' house for comfort.

The two children's rooms are very close together, Reness's bedroom is next to Viserys, and only by hugging her 'brother' who is a few years older than her can the brown-haired little girl sleep peacefully again.

Both of them are in fact miserable people, and Renis has also lost her parents.

And tonight, due to many reasons, the old scholar died of illness and took his last breath.

Immediately following the attack of the fleet from nowhere, Viserys was so full of thoughts that he forgot about Reness for a while.

According to the past, the sound of the bell outside just now spread throughout the entire Dragonstone Island, and Renice should have been awakened long ago.

However, until now, there was no movement in Renice's bedroom.

Didn't wake up?

Viserys turned his head slightly, leaned out of the castle leaning on the window sill, and looked at Renice's bedroom next to him.

Below him was a cliff that was dozens of meters deep, and the waves were rushing forward, and then slapped on the broken rocks below the castle.

Viserys became a lot more courageous, so he leaned forward without worrying about falling off accidentally.

However, after sticking out her head and looking at the window next to her, Renis's bedroom was pitch black, without any light.

"Looks like he hasn't woken up"

"It's strange."

The silver-blond hair fluttered, and the boy blinked his eyes and thought for a moment, then retracted his protruding body again.

He picked up the dagger on the windowsill, jumped off the small stool, and walked quickly towards the bedroom door.

squeak-

Viserys opened the door to his bedroom.

As expected, there were two fully-armed guards standing outside the door, wearing ring armor and long swords around their waists.

Viserys wanted to go out, but was stopped by two guards.

"Your Highness."

The two guards looked at the little king with a wry smile on their faces. Although they had been crowned king, Viserys himself, including Viserys, did not take it seriously.

The guards didn't even change their mouths, still calling Viserys 'His Royal Highness'.

But at the moment, I didn't expect that Sir William would really tell the truth. His Highness was not willing to hide in the house, and he would definitely find something to do.

This time, however, they were indeed wrong.

Viserys spread his hands slightly, a little helpless, and then pointed to the room next door to Renice and said.

"I'm just looking for Renice, of course I won't run around."

The reason for the silver-haired boy is naturally very good. After all, the relationship between the two children is very good, which is a fact that everyone in the entire castle can see.

Rhaenys always liked to haunt Viserys, and even when he was practicing swords, Rhaenys was willing to sit next to him in the shade of a tree and accompany him.

And Renice always 'slips the tongue', referring to Viserys as 'brother' and was reluctantly changed to 'uncle' after being educated by Queen Layla a few times, but the little girl's face was still full of reluctance .

It is true that there is no more complicated reason for a child, and it will not involve the mind of an adult.

In her pure opinion, Viserys is not much older than her, the two are the same age.

But she was a generation older than her for no reason, and she was a little unwilling, so she deliberately called Viserys a brother, but Viserys didn't care about these.

"Since it's looking for Her Royal Highness."

The two guards looked at each other, hesitated slightly, and then nodded.

After all, Renice's bedroom is next door, and the little king didn't run around. If he didn't even agree to this request, it would be a little too impersonal.

"OK then."

wow-

The metal friction of the armor made a sound.

Then the two guards held the hilt with one hand, nodded, and moved out of the way.

"Thank you."

And Viserys also nodded, and then suddenly thought of something as he walked past them.

Wei Wei stopped in front of Renice's door, and at this moment, Viserys could not be seen directly from the corner.

Then the boy raised his head and asked casually.

"Is there also a guard on the mother's side?"

After all, too many things happened tonight, and there is a naval battle going on outside. If the Dragonstone Island fleet is defeated, none of them can escape.

But Viserys had another thought.

If the entire Dragonstone Island fleet is dispatched to fight the enemy, doesn't it mean that the coastline of Dragonstone Island is completely undefended at this time?

Just rowing a small boat can take advantage of the night to land silently and land.

Due to its barrenness, Dragonstone Island has only a small fishing village. As the lord of Dragonstone Island, it is almost impossible to summon soldiers who can fight.

The only defenses on the entire island are dozens of guards in the castle, but this castle is extraordinarily huge, and these guards cannot cover everything.

When they heard the little king's words, the two guards were stunned. They didn't think as much as Viserys did, but they nodded confidently.

"certainly!"

"Her Majesty the Queen is also surrounded by guards."

However, between the three of them talking.

bang——

Suddenly there was a sound of bowstring bursting, and a crossbow arrow flew out of the darkness.
