Viserys is being hunted by three vicious mercenaries.
And on the other side.
Queen Leila had already returned to the bedroom with great difficulty with her pregnant belly. Two maids helped her take off her cumbersome coat and change into pure white velvet pajamas, and then carefully lay down on the soft big bed.
"my child..."
With her long silver-gold hair spread out, the woman lay quietly on the bed, her beautiful lavender eyes looking at the ceiling above her head.
There was still lingering sadness in his eyes, and he stroked his bulging belly with one hand, feeling slightly dazed.
Layla's current mental state is really worrying, and she even gets angry at Viserys without any reason or bursts into tears for no reason.
Women have suffered too many blows and already have some signs of going crazy.
But now, Layla's mental state is still sober.
"I really don't know if bringing you into this world... is right or wrong."
The country is destroyed.
As time passed, Layla also knew that Robert Baratheon on the other side of Blackwater Bay would not let the mother and son go so easily.
Now the warships outside are fighting, perhaps the navy built by Baratheon has already pursued them.
Layla herself is just a weak woman. She doesn't understand the situation of the war. She rarely interferes with political affairs when she stays in the Red Castle. She knows nothing about the so-called overall situation.
However, she also understood that the barren Dragonstone Island needed neither people nor resources, so it could not be defended.
But where to go?
She was unwilling to give up Dragonstone, and was even so resistant that she went crazy, because giving up Dragonstone would mean voluntarily withdrawing from Westeros and acknowledging the change of ownership of the Iron Throne.
She was afraid that the string in her heart would be broken and hope would disappear.
But now.
She regrets that she should have let the child in her belly come into this world. His or her fate may not be as good as that of a commoner in the future.
It's just...it's already so big now, and it's impossible for Leila to give up this baby.
This is the motivation that can support a woman who is already heartbroken to continue living.
Next to Queen Leila'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 and you will reach the Picture Table Hall, where Aegon I once formulated his plan to conquer Westeros.
The shouts of killing from outside were loud.
"Blessed by the Seven Gods."
Layla Targaryen was lying on the bed, her long silver-gold hair spread out, her towering chest rising and falling gently, and then she placed her fingers on her eyebrows and prayed softly.
Pray that this war will be won.
While Layla was lying on the bed and thinking wildly, there was a sudden change outside the bedroom door. First, there were shouts of enemy attack from downstairs, which alerted the guards guarding the bedroom door.
"who!"
Immediately afterwards, the guard responsible for protecting the queen seemed to have discovered something, and then he drew his sword and shouted loudly.
The next second.
The sound of clanging weapons and clinking weapons erupted outside Queen Leila's bedroom door, accompanied by screams.
"what happened?"
Queen Leila, who was pregnant, was frightened by the sudden movement outside. She quickly closed her clothes and sat up from the bed.
His face was as pale as a piece of paper, and he was frightened again.
Layla hasn't had a good night's sleep since the Usurper War began. In the past few years, especially the six months since she fled to Dragonstone, she has been terrified every day, fearing that the enemy will threaten her life next second.
Just arrived in front of us.
"Is it possible that the fleet has been defeated?"
Layla thought that the fleet loyal to Targaryen had failed and the enemy had rushed to Dragonstone.
"Protect Her Majesty the Queen!"
However, the two sides were fighting fiercely outside the bedroom door, and no one could answer Queen Leila's question.
boom--
The next moment, the wooden door of the bedroom burst into pieces.
A soldier from Dragonstone fell to the ground covered in blood, with an ax stuck in his chest.
...
The mercenary group that came to attack accurately found the locations of Queen Layla and Viserys, and the two sides started a fierce battle.
On Viserys' side, he was still trying hard 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 still filled with the smell of decaying dust.
Phew~
Phew~
The silver-haired boy hid in an old wooden box, his chest heaving and panting slightly, leaving only a slight gap to observe the outside world.
He had just been chased by mercenaries and hurriedly hid in this uninhabited house, hoping to deceive them.
However, something happened that disappointed Viserys. The voices of mercenaries were heard outside the room.
"Damn that little bastard, he runs pretty fast!"
Viserys was running very fast, so they blocked him in front and back, trying to catch him.
However, I didn't expect that the attack was in vain, which also means that the silver-haired boy did not escape from here and must be hiding in a certain room.
"snort--"
"He's hiding here. If he can't escape, search every room!"
The tall mercenary, whose face was painted with oil paint, waved his hand and asked the remaining two companions to search a room together, trying to find the little bastard quickly, and then take off his head to complete the commission.
"Find him and deal with him!"
After all, the longer they stay here, the more dangerous they become.
"I should go to Driss. I hate doing things to children."
Another mercenary, whose face was wrapped in black cloth, whose leather armor was in tatters, and who had a short sword at his waist, spread his hands and complained.
"Why don't you let me go to such a beautiful job as the queen? Maybe it's okay..."
"hey-hey…"
The mercenary smelled like he hadn't taken a bath for a long time, and then he let out an inexplicable laugh, showing his yellowed teeth, which made people feel sick.
Mainly because the atmosphere has become much more relaxed.
After getting rid of the guards in the castle, they felt that killing Viserys was a sure thing. What could a seven-year-old child do if he hid?
He is holding a big toothpick in his hand.
What's wrong? Do you want to pick my uncle's teeth?
However, the tall mercenary had no time to make such a joke with this disgusting guy. He just glared at him, then opened the door of a room and went in to search for traces of Viserys.
Another mercenary who was good at using crossbows was also a little impatient and had a bad temper. He glanced at the man and then spoke.
"Stop talking nonsense and do it quickly."
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 raised high, and he tightly held the dagger custom-made for him in his hand.
Through the opened gap, I could see the firelight in the corridor and the man standing outside the door who had just walked in.
