Chapter 49 Blood and Fire Are of the Same Origin

There were shouts of killing outside.

Tread

The sound of steady footsteps in the corridor was clear.

Along the way, the flames on the dragon claw torch platforms throbbed, and Viserys walked among them. Hearing the clamor of the approaching outside, he couldn't help but feel a little cold inside.

It turned out that he was still not as calm as he seemed on the surface.

He originally thought that this rebellion was just a little farce by Sir Shad and a few soldiers, and that it could be easily suppressed without much effort.

However, Viserys did not expect that it would spread to such a large area. It seems that there are many more soldiers who have rebelled in Dragonstone Castle than he imagined.

It turned out that he and his mother had been living in danger before.

I don't know how many people who looked at them from behind, the orphans and widows, contained deep malice in their eyes.

The people hiding beside them all wanted to kill their mother and son to collect the bounty.

Even now, thinking about these Viserys makes me feel a little cold all over, and my heart beats a little faster again.

yes

The Targaryens are over, and now Baratheon is the one sitting on the Iron Throne.

How could he guarantee that these guards were still loyal to Targaryen and did not waver in the slightest?

mind here.

Viserys's grip on the crossbow was slightly tight, but fortunately, that was the end of it this time.

"These hidden traitors will all be fished out and wiped out."

The silver-haired boy let out a slight sigh, and only then did he realize that there was some cold sweat in the palm of his hand holding the crossbow.

Of course, he is not as calm as he pretends to be, he is also afraid, afraid of accidents, afraid of death, but it is much better than the appearance that he didn't even pretend to be.

Two guards in front and back protected Viserys through the corridor of the Stone Drum Tower.

Follow the stone stairs to the top of the main castle, the table room with the entire map of Westeros.

"His Majesty."

"His Majesty."

Viserys was seen by the two guards guarding the gates of the Table Room.

Fully armored, they clenched their fists in front of their chests and gave a slight salute, while Viserys said nothing but nodded to the two guards who were still loyal to Targaryen.

Then the two guards guarding the gate pushed open the heavy brown wooden door of the Table Room for Viserys.

squeak...

The two soldiers of the fleet entered the table room with Viserys.

click -

Then, the bolt was inserted from the door, and the cabinet was overturned with a heavy object to prevent accidental betrayers from entering the picture table hall.

When Viserys entered the table room, he walked directly to the main seat in the middle, where his mother Queen Layla once sat.

Before that, Aegon the Conqueror and his two younger sisters Visenya and Rhaenys were sitting here, and the three-headed fire dragon was ambitiously overlooking the entire continent of Westeros.

now.

The person sitting in this position was replaced by Viserys.

He. King of the Andals, Royna and the First Men, ruler of the Seven Kingdoms. A long list of titles, ending with Viserys III Targaryen.

The silver-haired boy sat on this heavy seat, but he didn't feel cold and hard.

Because the previous owner of this chair, Queen Layla, was pregnant, she could not sit in a cold position, so the heavy chair had been covered with luxurious and soft animal fur.

Viserys stroked his hands on the armrest of the main seat, overlooking the huge map table below, which was engraved with a detailed map of Westeros. half, and less than four feet at its narrowest point.

And the main seat that Viserys is sitting on now is exactly the location of Dragonstone Island on the map.

Through careful consideration and design nearly three hundred years ago, the designers finally ensured that the position of the main seat is just right to overlook the whole picture of Westeros.

King's Landing, Harrenhal, Storm's End, Eagle's Nest, Casterly Rock

Viserys's eyes started from Dragonstone and kept jumping to the major cities in Westeros. He had previously read the history of Aegon I's conquest wars at the request of the old maester.

These are the routes Aegon I took to conquer Westeros.

In the first battle of Heishuihe, three giant dragons were thrown into the war at the same time. The dragon flames exhaled by the giant dragons burned the grassland. The fire frightened the horses, and the thick smoke made the soldiers unable to see the enemy in front.

This battle directly defeated the coalition of nearly 55,000 troops of the Casterly Rock King Loren Lannister and the Reach King Menn Gardener IX.

While Viserys was immersed in history, there was even a faint hallucination in front of him, as if he had witnessed this extraordinary war.

The noise outside the table hall woke him up.

"The wicked seed that killed the dragon!"

"Kill the son of the mad king!"

The brown wooden door of the Figure Table Hall was being blocked by toppled cabinets and heavy objects, but the screams of killing outside the door seemed to be close at hand.

clang clang-

There were sounds of weapons colliding, shouts of killing, the sound of swords cutting into the flesh, and the screams of wounded soldiers.

It seemed that the last two guards who were guarding outside the table hall had already started fighting with the insurgents.

Bang!

Then came the sound of a heavy object hitting the door, as if a soldier had hit the door during the fight. The thick brown wooden door trembled slightly, but fortunately it was not blocked by a heavy object behind the door. Hit it straight away.

Viserys woke up suddenly.

Silver-blond hair hangs down on the boy's white cheeks, one of his elbows is still on the armrest of the main seat, his palms support his cheeks, and then he slightly raises his head.

He was woken up by the screams of killing so close at hand outside, his face paled slightly, and in the lavender eyes that had been calm before, there was finally a panic that could no longer be concealed.

The boy closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and opened them again.

"The enemy... has already killed the door."

"Everyone."

Viserys sat in the chair without getting up, but straightened his thin body slightly.

He was eager to say something to boost morale.

Now that Viserys is sitting here, it is actually a dead end. Behind the main seat of the table hall is a huge rooftop, you can see the whole sea, dozens of yards above the ground, if you jump down, you will die.

There was still a little panic in the boy's calm voice.

But he still clenched the crossbow in his hand, which had been tied, and aimed in the direction of the main entrance.

If the enemy does rush in, he guarantees that the first person who comes in will also die.

"Swear to defend Your Majesty to the death!"

However, the two loyal Targaryen Fleet soldiers drew their swords and slapped their shields, standing on either side of the throne.

Swears that the betrayer must walk over his own body to hurt the little king.
