The endless Dothraki people gathered together again. After a night's rest, their mental state was once again at its best.
Rumble——
Then he rushed towards Ge Duohe menacingly.
…
Distant to the east of Velvet Mountain.
The ruins of the once ancient Rhoynar city of Gol Dohor are fighting a war that has rarely been seen in recent years.
The protagonists of the war were the Rhoynar and the Andals, who had lost the glory of their ancestors and gradually declined.
Fighting against the Dothraki who swept across the continent of Essos, their powerful iron hooves trampled every inch of the land, making it almost difficult to find an opponent.
Enraged, Khal Drogo vowed to cut off Viserys' head and let his body rot and be crawling with maggots.
And at the same time.
distance.
In the city of Andalos.
Viserys's army expedition took advantage of the rebellion that broke out in the Iron Islands across the Narrow Sea. King Robert focused all his attention on countering the rebellion and dispatched a large army to continue to develop his own territory in this unclaimed land.
, gradually became a powerful force that cannot be ignored on the continent of Essos.
The city-state of Andalos, which united the Andals and part of the Rhoynar, governed a large number of villages and towns and possessed powerful war capabilities.
Viserys only returned to Andalos a few times during this half-year journey. The last time he returned to the castle was when he returned after conquering the Rhoynar on both sides of the Upper Rhoyne three months ago. This time Viserys
Velvet Mountain, which has headed south, has not returned yet.
Viserys left Andalus, but the affairs within the city-state still needed someone to handle.
The old knight led the fleet and was still stationed on Dragonstone Island to guard against the fact that the royal fleet, which had returned from victory, would lead its army across the narrow sea to attack Andalus with the momentum of a great victory. Naturally, he had no time to manage the trivial matters in the city-state.
Therefore, all the affairs of Andalos, large and small, are now taken care of by the eldest princess Rhaenys Targaryen, assisted by Maester Gunther himself, who teaches the eldest princess how to handle government affairs while sitting on the throne on behalf of Viserys.
In fact, according to common sense, Viserys' biological sister Daenerys Targaryen is older and should be the 'eldest princess'.
However, although Viserys did not announce it to the public, he still told his Prime Minister and temporarily assigned the position of heir to his sister.
Therefore, not only for the purpose of compensation, but also because Rhaenys is older, Rhaenys even takes more care of Daenerys than herself, playing the role of a mother.
In order to compensate Rhaenys and balance the difference in grade and seniority between the two girls, Viserys gave Rhaenys the title of 'eldest princess'.
now.
Although Daenerys is the designated heir, she is too young to know right from wrong and cannot sit on the throne to handle government affairs in Viserys's place.
And the eldest princess Rhaenys Targaryen is naturally the more suitable person.
Therefore, the girl with long brown hair wore the ruby crown left by Viserys, which was also a treasure left by her grandmother Rhaela Targaryen.
Then she adjusted her bright red skirt, closed her white and tight calves, and then sat on the high throne in the castle hall.
Bachelor Gunther, still wearing a simple gray robe and a bachelor's chain, sat beside the eldest princess and would provide her with some advice when necessary.
"Master Gunther."
Then Rhaenys glanced at the maester nervously, and the maester nodded slightly to provide some encouragement to the girl.
Then he spoke loudly to the guards below.
"Please, come in first."
Sunlight from both sides penetrated the windows on the castle wall and shone into the main hall. Soon there was a sound of footsteps outside the main hall, and a short man walked in, put one hand on his chest and bowed to salute.
"Your Highness."
"May the Seven Gods protect your uncle and all the children of Andalos and return victorious."
And Rhaenys was sitting on the throne wearing the crown, holding the armrests of the throne with her fingers, nodded slightly and corrected.
"It's brother."
However, the short man below was just about to start to cry when he was interrupted by Rhaenys. He then looked at the girl on the throne with some confusion.
The girl's naughtiness naturally earned her a fierce glare from Bachelor Gunther, who then slightly stuck out her tongue and smiled sheepishly.
She just made a small joke, Rhaenys apologized to her teacher in a low voice.
"Sorry, Master Gunther."
Then Rhaenys raised her delicate chin, looked down with her beautiful eyes, and spoke in a clear voice.
"It's nothing, you just heard wrong."
"Please continue."
...
Rhaenys was in the main hall of the castle, taking over Viserys's place in handling all matters in Andalos for the first time.
The other princess in the castle, Princess Daenerys Targaryen, is a bit quiet and shy.
During the six months since her brother Viserys left, she continued to hatch dragon eggs and never wanted to give up.
early morning.
Rhaenys was fully dressed and sitting on the throne in the hall, while Daenerys was still holding her pale milky white dragon egg and was sleeping soundly.
The servant responsible for taking care of Daenerys originally wanted to wake up the princess, but the old maid held the light and saw that the girl in the room still had the curtains closed and was sleeping soundly holding her dragon egg, so she moved slightly with compassion.
heart of.
The old maid continued to sleep without disturbing Daenerys, then closed the door and walked out with the oil lamp.
However, what she didn't notice was that when she turned around, a drop of burning kerosene fell out of the lamp she was holding, and landed on a handful of insect repellent placed in the corner next to the door in Daenerys' room.
superior.
Because Andalos is located near mountains and rivers, and is not far from the sea, the air and climate here are somewhat humid, and there are many mosquitoes in the castle.
So a long time ago, Viserys bought some insect repellents and placed them in the castle. There were especially many insect repellents in Daenerys's room. Because the little girl was very afraid of bugs, she would feel uncomfortable if one was found in the room.
, even if the smell of cordyceps is a bit pungent, I can tolerate it.
rustle...
The old maid staggered out of Daenerys' room holding the oil lamp, and the sound of her retreating footsteps could be heard in the corridor.
However, no one saw that a small fire was growing vigorously at this moment, gradually devouring the flammable insecticides around it.
