Viserys was sleeping in his bedroom, lying on his side on the soft bed.
The long silver-gold hair was spread out on the pillow. The boy had enviable delicate skin, handsome cheeks that were white and rosy, and his lips were lightly pursed.
And at this time.
Suddenly there were some strange noises in the castle, and there seemed to be a faint sound of shouting, and then it turned into a clanging sound of fighting, accompanied by screams.
Nowadays, the horizon has turned faintly white.
Dawn has arrived.
Viserys lay on the bed and had just closed his eyes. He had not slept for a few hours, and then he was woken up by this chaotic and noisy sound.
The boy's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he finally slowly opened his lavender gem-like eyes.
"Damn."
Viserys turned over and sat up from the bed, lifting up the soft quilt, and his long silver-gold hair hung down on his shoulders.
At first there was some confusion and impatience in his eyes, but he finally shook his head to disperse the irrelevant elements in his brain.
He also heard the noisy sounds outside, as well as the sounds of weapons clashing, and the shouts of killing were getting closer, and he instantly understood what was happening.
"Has it started yet?"
Viserys's last bit of drowsiness was driven away, and he woke up instantly.
In fact, Viserys already had some information about Sir Shad's rebellion.
The reason is naturally that some clues were discovered a long time ago.
At the beginning, the death of Maester Daniel was full of doubts, and it felt a bit like someone had poisoned him.
Before he died, the old maester also held Viserys's hand and whispered a few words in his ear, telling him that there was someone with evil intentions in the castle and asking Viserys to be more careful.
The old bachelor's life was very long, at least considered a long life in this era. He had traveled a long way in his life and met many people.
After personally teaching Viserys for several months, he came to a conclusion that he had never mentioned to anyone.
This conclusion remained buried in the old bachelor's heart until he entered the coffin.
It may sound a little unbelievable.
That is... he thinks Prince Viserys is better than Prince Rhaegar.
This may not sound like what many people think, but the old bachelor still sticks to his inner judgment.
He personally taught Rhaegar, and he later taught Viserys.
He even spent far more time in contact with Rhaegar than with His Highness the Second Prince.
Prince Rhaegar is indeed wise, and there is no problem with that, but this prince's wisdom is still limited to a certain framework, perhaps this era, perhaps this world.
At one time, the old maester would not have thought there was anything wrong with this, because Rhaegar's intelligence also amazed him.
However, since Maester Daniel came into contact with Viserys and had an in-depth conversation with the child, the old maester was astonished to find that Viserys could always inadvertently mention some ideas that transcended this era and even transcended this world in his words.
Some of these ideas are shocking, some are unrealistic, and some are extraordinary.
Maester Daniel thinks he is familiar with many books. He has read many miscellaneous books from the Age of Heroes eight thousand years ago to today.
However, Viserys's ideas have never been limited to this framework, and perhaps that is why he is even more great.
This is why the old maester took Viserys's hand before he died, held him to his mouth, and told him, not Queen Rhaella, about it.
Because the old maester believed that Viserys would do better than his mother.
And Viserys has never failed to live up to the old maester's expectations before his death. He has not told anyone about it since he found out about it, not even his own mother.
Of course, he was not worried that his mother would leak the secret, but that his mother's mental state was already very bad at that time.
Often get angry or cry for no apparent reason.
Viserys didn't want these things to disturb Queen Leila's rest, so he had been making plans silently.
However, hard work paid off. After the old maester died, Viserys discovered that the raven cage responsible for external communications on Dragonstone had been tampered with.
It seems that after getting rid of the old maester, someone used the raven to convey some news to the outside world.
However, the opponent's movements have been very careful, and Viserys has not found any clues, so it has been difficult to determine the opponent's identity.
Is it one person...or a group of people.
However, Viserys deliberately told Sir William about this before going out with the fleet this time.
As Viserys' swordsmanship teacher, the instructor once risked his life to save Queen Layla and Viserys mother and son. Without him, Viserys would have died long ago, so Sir William naturally has no doubts and is worthy of trust.
Viserys hoped that the coach could help keep an eye out for anyone who would be eager to expose himself after he left.
This is also the reason why Sir William hesitated to speak several times when he faced Viserys just now.
However, Viserys did not let him speak.
Because the boy had already obtained information through other channels before returning to Dragonstone and understood who the traitor was hiding on the island.
During the fleet's return journey, a small ship was intercepted in the waters near Dragonstone Island. The other party saw the fleet coming in force and hurriedly wanted to speed away.
However, the experienced sailors in the fleet chased it in a small boat and finally intercepted it.
Several people on the boat even wanted to jump off the ship and commit suicide, but only one person drowned and the others were fished out.
Finally, after torture and interrogation, these people finally revealed their identities.
These people are all from King's Landing, and Sir Shad, the acting city lord of Dragonstone, has already secretly joined the Baratheon family.
King Robert on the Iron Throne even promised him a castle and the title of earl with a stroke of his pen.
However, because there was a fleet stationed on Dragonstone Island, they could not directly hand over Queen Layla and her son, so they had been waiting for the opportunity.
Then we waited for the opportunity for the storm surge to come.
They understood that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and wanted to take advantage of the fleet being hit by the storm or sailing away from the port to kill Queen Leila and Viserys and then escape.
But things happened to take a turn again.
Viserys actually left with the fleet from Dragonstone, and they didn't know where the fleet was going.
Sir Geoffrey had a fiery temper and was stubborn, and he did not take him as the acting city lord seriously at all.
