Chapter 28 Hiding

Viserys is being hunted down by three vicious mercenaries.

And on the other side.

Queen Layla had labored back to the bedroom with a big belly. The two maids helped her take off her cumbersome coat and put on pure white velvet pajamas, and then carefully lay down on the soft big bed.

"my child."

The long silver-gold hair was spread out, and the woman lay quietly on the bed, her beautiful lavender eyes looking at the ceiling above her head.

There was still an inescapable sadness in his eyes, and one hand stroked his bulging belly, slightly dazed.

Layla's current state of mind is really worrying, she even got angry with Viserys for no reason or burst into tears for no reason.

The woman has taken so many blows that there is a hint of madness.

And now, Layla's mental state is still sober.

"I really don't know if it was right or wrong to bring you into this world."

Country collapsed.

As time passed, Layla also knew that Robert Baratheon, on the other side of Blackwater Bay, would not let their mother and son go so easily.

Now the warships outside are at war, and perhaps the navy built by Baratheon has pursued it.

Layla herself is just a weak woman. She doesn't understand the situation of the war. She seldom cares about politics when she stays in the Red Fort, and she doesn't know anything about the so-called overall situation.

However, she also understands that the barren Dragonstone Island needs no people and no resources, and it can't be kept here.

But where to go?

She was reluctant to give up Dragonstone, and even resisted so much that she was going crazy, because giving up Dragonstone would mean quitting Westeros on her own accord and acknowledging the change of ownership of the Iron Throne.

She was afraid that the string in her heart would break, and hope disappeared.

But right now.

She regrets that she should let the child in her womb come into this world, and his or her fate may not be as good as a commoner in the future.

It's just... Now that it's so big, it's impossible for Layla to give up this child.

This is the driving force that can support a woman who has been heartbroken to continue to live.

Next to Queen Layla's bedroom is the room where the maids live, and there are several guards guarding the corridor.

This is located on the upper level of the main castle of Dragonstone Castle. From here, go up the stone steps to reach the Table Room, where Aegon I once made plans to conquer Westeros.

The outside world shouted and killed.

"Blessed by the Seven Gods."

Layla Targaryen lay on the bed, her long silver-gold hair spread out, her towering chest rose and fell slightly, and then she placed her fingers between her eyebrows and prayed softly.

Pray that this war will be won.

While Layla was lying on the bed thinking wildly, a sudden change occurred outside the bedroom door. First, the shouts of enemy attacks came from downstairs, which alerted the guards who were guarding the door of the bedroom.

"who!"

Immediately afterwards, the guards who were in charge of protecting the queen also seemed to have discovered something, and then pulled out their long sword and shouted loudly.

next second.

Outside Queen Layla's bedroom door, there was the sound of clanging weapons colliding, accompanied by screams.

"what happened?"

Queen Layla, who was pregnant, was frightened by the sudden movement outside, and hurriedly closed her clothes and sat up from the bed.

His face was as pale as a piece of paper, and he was once again frightened.

Layla hadn't had a good night's sleep since the Usurper War began. In the past few years, especially in the last six months when she fled to Dragonstone Island, she was afraid every day, for fear that the enemy who would take her life would be next second. arrived in front of you.

"Could it be that the fleet has been defeated?"

Layla thought that the fleet loyal to Targaryen had lost, and the enemy had washed up on Dragonstone.

"Protect Her Majesty the Queen!"

However, the two sides were fighting fiercely outside the bedroom door, and no one could answer Queen Layla's question.

boom--

The next moment, the wooden door of the bedroom shattered.

A Dragonstone Island soldier fell to the ground covered in blood, with an axe stuck in his chest.

The mercenary group that came to attack pinpointed the location of Queen Layla and Viserys, and the two sides fought fiercely.

On Viserys' side, he was still trying to avoid the enemy's pursuit.

A room without any light, darkness swallowed the figure of Viserys, no one lived in this room, and the air was filled with the smell of rotten dust.

huh~

huh~

The silver-haired boy hid in a dilapidated wooden box, his chest heaving and panting slightly, leaving only a small gap to observe the outside world.

He had just faced the pursuit of mercenaries in a panic, and then hid in this uninhabited house, hoping to deceive them.

However, what disappointed Viserys happened, and the voices of mercenaries came from outside the room.

"Damn little brat is running so fast!"

Viserys was running fast, so they blocked back and forth, trying to catch Viserys.

However, he didn't expect that he would be empty, which also means that the silver-haired boy did not escape from here, and must be hiding in a certain room.

"Humph--"

"He is hiding here. If he can't escape, he will search from room to room!"

The tall mercenary with oil paint on his face waved his hand and asked the remaining two companions to search a room one by one, trying to find this little bastard as soon as possible, and then took off his head to complete the commission.

"Find him and deal with him!"

After all, the longer they stay here, the more dangerous it is.

"I should have gone over to Dries, I hate doing things on kids."

The other mercenary with a black cloth on his face, tattered leather armor, and a short sword around his waist spread his hands and complained.

"Why don't you let me go for a beautiful job like the queen, maybe it's okay."

"hey-hey…"

The mercenary smelled like he hadn't bathed for a long time, and then let out an inexplicable laugh, showing his yellowed teeth, which made people feel sick.

Mainly the atmosphere has relaxed a lot.

After solving the guards in the castle, they felt that killing Viserys was already a matter of 100 percent. What would a seven-year-old child do if he hid?

A large toothpick in hand.

what's going on? Do you want to pick a tooth for the uncle?

However, the tall mercenary didn't have time to joke with this disgusting guy, just glared at him, then opened a door, and went in to search for Viserys.

Another mercenary who is good at using crossbows is also a little impatient, and his temper is also very short-tempered. He glanced at the man and said.

"Stop talking nonsense, just do it."

The voices of the mercenaries were particularly clear in front of the door where Viserys was hiding.

Then the door made a creaking sound and was pushed open.

Viserys hid in the box, his heart was raised high, and he clenched the dagger in his hand that was tailor-made for him.

Through the open gap, I could see the fire in the corridor and the man who had just walked in outside the door.

He also held a crossbow in his hand.
