Chapter 40: Daenerys Targaryen

Queen Layla suffered several blows and was unable to recover from her mental illness. Her own mental state was on the verge of collapse, and she even had faint signs of madness.

There is no greater sorrow than the death of one's heart.

When the silver-haired woman herself had given up her desire to survive, not even the Seven Gods could save the trapped queen.

In the end, Lyra Targaryen became unconscious and kept repeating the name she just said, the most important person to her in her short life.

The female companion Joanna, her first love Bonifer, her brother and husband Aerys, her eldest son Rhaegar, and her second son Viserys.

Then he finally breathed his last on the hospital bed.

Queen Leila still had a brief period of consciousness before she died.

She seemed to understand that she was about to leave this world. She shed tears and hugged her little daughter who had taken away her life, and gave her a nice name.

Daenerys Targaryen.

The swaddled baby girl had her eyes closed tightly, her face was wrinkled and didn't look very good, and her silver hair was stuck to her scalp.

She was born in this storm, then huddled together and finally let out a loud cry.

And at the same time.

boom--

Suddenly there was a thunderous explosion over Dragonstone Island, lightning illuminated the entire sky, and heavy rain poured down.

I don't know how many people were shocked. The instructor sitting outside the door was so shocked that everything in his hands fell to the ground.

Then he quickly bent down and picked it up.

This is a human-shaped puppet that he carved out of a small wooden block with a dagger in his spare time.

You can vaguely tell that she is a woman, but there are no facial features to tell her specific identity.

...

And in the distance.

King's Landing.

A black raven passed through the spotless blue sky, overlooking the huge city below, tilting its head slightly, and the high-speed airflow on both sides drove its feathers.

Pulling-

Then the raven flapped its wings and lowered its altitude, finally arriving at the Red Keep located on Aegon Hill in King's Landing.

rustle...

With his gray and messy beard disheveled in the wind, Grand Maester Pycelle looked extremely weathered, and his legs and feet were somewhat clumsy as he walked over shakily.

He threw a piece of snack to the raven, and then took off the letter from the raven's leg.

Grand Maester Pycelle unfolded the letter, looked at it briefly, and saw the contents clearly, and then his expression suddenly changed.

Then his legs and feet seemed to have improved, and he immediately gathered up his robe and walked quickly to Maegor's Tower.

When several maids passing by saw such a scene that symbolized a medical miracle, they all stood there in shock.

This is a letter from Storm's End, bringing bad news.

The royal fleet led by Stannis to supervise the construction was attacked by the Targaryen fleet while resting at Storm's End to withstand the storm.

The opponent unexpectedly took advantage of the storm and launched an attack from the sea, creating an almost perfect classic case of naval battle. It was bold, careful and courageous. It was willing to bear the losses caused by the storm but also destroyed it in one fell swoop.

Baratheon's fleet.

Stannis did not expect that the Targaryen family's fleet would suddenly appear on the sea of ​​Shipbreaker Bay like a magic weapon descending from the sky. The storm that frightened all the fleets instead concealed the other party's whereabouts.

The result of this battle was that the Royal Fleet, which had spent a huge amount of money to build the Iron Throne and had great expectations, was buried in the sea.

Archmaester Pycelle naturally knew the seriousness of the matter.

Because he betrayed the Targaryen family, if the Targaryens come back one day, he may be among the first to die.

And this old man doesn't want to die yet.

Therefore, this great bachelor who was afraid of death could no longer pretend to be 'faltering'.

Instead, he hurried to Maegor's Tower and reported the matter to the new king Robert Baratheon.

...

"What?!"

The young king, who was sitting in King Maegor's chamber and drinking freely, was shocked when he heard the news.

Then he stood up and snatched the letter from Grand Maester Pycelle's hand, and looked at it up and down.

The atmosphere in the king's bedroom was slightly frozen. The waiter who was standing next to Robert and responsible for pouring wine, and Pycelle, who had the letter taken away and accidentally fell to the ground, were shocked and did not dare to speak.

Because anyone can feel the anger brewing in King Robert's heart right now.

The young and majestic king stood up like a mountain, with thick black hair and beard, and eyes blazing with anger, and he was striding back and forth in the spacious king's bedroom.

Then without warning, he kicked over the square table in front of him.

boom--

The wine glasses and books on the table as well as news about various aspects of King's Landing were scattered on the ground.

The waiter carrying the wine pot and Grand Maester Pycelle were all frightened. The gray-haired old man sat on the ground and looked pale for a long time without getting up.

"His Majesty?"

Ser Barristan Selmy the Bold, the captain of the Kingsguard who was guarding the door, was slightly startled when he heard the movement inside the house.

Then he quickly opened the door and walked in, and then saw King Robert roaring,

"Seven hells!"

"Stannis is a loser!"

King Robert's thunderous roar resounded in the king's bedroom, making people's eardrums tremble slightly, and could even be heard clearly in the corridor outside the door.

"Even if I send a dog as the commander, I won't let the Royal Fleet be completely annihilated! That's what I should do! At least the dog won't let the battleships join together and let the damn enemy burn them all!"

Robert Baratheon was furious, and even more deeply hated his second brother, whom he already disliked because of his personality.

Originally, he thought that although Stannis was old-fashioned and stubborn, he still had some skills in fighting.

In addition, based on his trust in his brother, he entrusted such an important task to him, but he did not expect that Stannis would mess up this matter.

He could not bear for a moment that the 'dragon's seed' could continue to exist in this world. Only he could deeply feel the hatred for the Targaryen family.

However, he didn't expect that he spent such a high price, invested in a nearly bottomless pit of golden dragons, and even went to Casterly Rock City and Iron Gold Treasury for a loan, only to get such a result.

Instead of dying, the 'evil dragon's spawn' jumped on his face and pooped.

Ser Barristan, who was wearing a white robe, said nothing. He just bent down slightly, picked up Stannis's personal letter from the ground and glanced up and down.

After seeing the whole story clearly, he froze on the spot.
