And Viserys seemed to have changed as a person, becoming extremely diligent and hardworking.
William Darry has been the coach of the Red Keep for so many years, and he can be said to have watched Viserys grow up. In his impression, His Highness is not an easy-to-discipline person, he is naughty and even a little naughty.
He didn't take it seriously when he first asked him for sword skills. Viserys would probably give up after practicing for two days and find it too hard.
However, when he was attacked later, he still admired the manly courage displayed by the silver-haired boy.
In the end, Viserys personally killed Kevan Lannister and tried to cut off his head, but when he failed, the trainer was shocked.
A little boy with an innocent and cute appearance was holding a long sword and wanted to cut off the enemy's head. However, the long sword got stuck in his neck and blood spurted out on his face. This contrasting scene may be something he will never forget in his life.
"Perhaps there have been too many bad things recently, which really stimulated him."
The middle-aged man with slightly curly hair knows that a lot of things have happened recently, which even an adult cannot accept.
However, he was also pleased to see Viserys's complete change, and classified him as severely irritated.
He is as loyal to the Iron Throne as his brother of the Kingsguard.
Therefore, he naturally hopes that Viserys can cheer up. Only when Viserys becomes a real "true dragon" can the Targaryen family be able to come back with great force in the future and seek revenge.
The middle-aged man was holding a wooden sword with one hand, standing there and thinking about other things.
And at this time.
Maester Daniel, who was already very old, was staggering, but he hurried past with great effort. He just nodded to the instructor and Viserys as a greeting, and then continued to move forward.
"Huh?"
"what happened?"
Sir William scratched his hair with a puzzled look on his face, while Viserys also panted and stood there with his sword slightly sheathed, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
The boy looked at the old bachelor's back for a while, then turned around and asked.
"Won't the maester fall if he walks so fast?"
His swordsmanship teacher was stunned for a moment, then looked down at his student.
Sometimes Viserys is mature like an adult, and sometimes he is childish like a child...
No, he was just a kid.
Sir William couldn't figure out whether Viserys was pretending to be something.
At this moment, he could only shake his head and explain.
"Since the bachelor is so anxious, something important must have happened."
The instructor frowned slightly and spoke in a low tone.
"And his face looks ugly. It's probably...that this is not a good thing."
...
Aegon's garden is filled with the pleasant fragrance of pine, and tall black trees rise from all sides.
There are also wild roses and towering thorn bushes, and cranberries grow in the mud.
Viserys and his instructor were practicing swordplay in the distance, while Queen Layla was playing with her little granddaughter Rhaenys on the other side.
Originally, Rhaenys wanted to go and play with Viserys, but the queen told her that she could not disturb her uncle's sword practice now.
Viserys is Queen Leila's last hope. She hopes that her youngest son can become the pillar of the Targaryen family like his famous brother and regain the rule of the Iron Throne.
And at this time.
Maester Daniel hurried over with unsteady steps.
The old bachelor first stroked the silver-haired woman's ear and whispered something, then took out the anonymous letter and handed it into her hands.
This is secret information from a person in King's Landing who, although he has surrendered to Baratheon on the surface, is still supporting the orthodoxy of the Iron Throne.
The intelligence conveyed everything that happened in King's Landing recently, including a lot of bad news, even the details. Many big things happened in front of this person's eyes, so it was more accurate than the rumors not long ago.
Queen Leila was a little confused when she first heard the old bachelor's words.
They have hid on Dragonstone and have a fleet loyal to Targaryen, but the Baratheon family does not have a powerful navy.
Dragonstone is at least temporarily safe.
Then the silver-haired woman unfolded the information she received from Bachelor Daniel, and her eyes moved slightly.
However, after just two glances, Queen Leila's expression suddenly changed, and then her eyes turned red. She raised a bare hand to cover her mouth, and tears flowed down her face.
"Your Majesty the Queen."
Fortunately, the old bachelor reacted quickly and hurriedly supported her, otherwise Queen Layla would have almost fainted.
The letter brought a lot of bad news.
However, the news at the top was undoubtedly the opening lightning strike, so that Queen Leila could no longer continue reading after just one glance.
Then he burst into tears.
And Rhaenys, who was accompanying her grandmother, saw this scene and was dumbfounded on the spot, a little at a loss.
The immature little girl knew nothing about the situation in front of her. She didn't even know that her father was dead, and even if she knew, she might not be able to understand it.
Then Viserys and the middle-aged instructor, who stopped practicing swordsmanship not far away, saw this scene and hurried over.
The instructor did not read this piece of information, but Viserys picked it up, read it up and down, and became slightly silent.
"this…"
In fact, although he couldn't remember clearly what happened during certain periods of time, he probably knew something about it.
He understands that all this is an inevitable fate, especially now that he has no ability to change the situation.
That's why he worked hard to practice swordsmanship, not because he wanted to achieve great things, nor because he wanted to pay for the blood debt of the Targaryen family in the future.
In fact, since he came to this world, he has never met his father, the origin of all stories, the famous 'Mad King' Aerys Targaryen II.
Never seen a single face.
Then he was hurriedly put on a carriage and fled King's Landing.
Therefore, he had never thought about such things as "grand plans" and "revenge" before.
All he did was to change his destiny in the future and work hard to survive, instead of becoming a "beggar king" or even dying with a golden crown poured on his head.
"brute…"
Then the silver-haired boy squatting on the ground finally gritted his teeth slightly and made a sound.
Even though he had no emotions before, rescuing Rhaenys was just a casual move. He even thought about his father sending troops to chase her, so he would return Rhaenys to them.
But now.
After the words were finally transformed into bloody reality, his nephew Aegon was thrown against the wall and his head was smashed, and his sister-in-law, Princess Elia, was also possessed by the demon whose hands were still stained with Aegon's blood and brain.
Shan raped first and then killed.
This cruel method could arouse the anger of any coward, let alone him.
