Since it was His Highness the Prince's request, the man with messy hair nodded and agreed without too long of hesitation.
As Viserys said, there will always be a need for it in the future.
The current situation is not too good...
He once taught Rhaegar, and now he teaches Viserys. The two brothers of the Targaryen family should call themselves teachers. This is also something to be proud of.
However, it was just a break during the journey, and there wasn't much he could teach.
But whether it is a knight fighting on a horse or a warrior fighting on the ground, the most basic things will not change.
The middle-aged instructor only hesitated slightly, and then pulled out his sword from his waist with his backhand.
Qiang——
The bright sword blade was a bit dazzling, and the clear sound of the long sword being unsheathed attracted the eyes of many resting soldiers, including Queen Layla who was sitting in the carriage adjusting her clothes. Rhaenys was also looking out of the carriage window.
Looking at the silver-haired boy under the tree not far away.
"Viserys."
"Sir William is very tired. Don't disturb him."
Queen Layla, who was sitting in the carriage, frowned slightly, and then spoke softly with a hint of worry.
A pair of lavender eyes showed the figure of Viserys holding the heavy sword precariously.
She was more worried about whether Viserys would be injured.
In fact, a sword is not very heavy, but wielding it easily still requires a lot of physical strength. For a boy who is only seven years old and has just passed the age of being trained as a knight, it still seems a bit difficult.
And this is the basis of knight training.
"It's okay, Your Majesty the Queen."
The middle-aged man with messy hair heard Queen Leila's words, turned his head and looked over, then bowed slightly and said.
"It's just a little toy that every boy has to lift eventually."
Many soldiers sitting on rocks and leaning against big trees all around laughed when they heard this sentence.
"That's right, Your Majesty the Queen."
As guards in the Red Castle, they all know that Queen Leila is a gentle and kind person. If Queen Leila had not stopped her, many people would have been burned to death by her husband.
William Darry has also been the coach of the Red Keep for many years. Even her eldest son Rhaegar has been trained by this coach. Queen Leila hesitated slightly, and finally chose to remain silent.
She believed that Sir William was sensible and would not let Viserys get hurt.
And what he said is right. In this era, as a boy, he is destined to lift up this "little toy" and risk his own life to protect his beloved relatives and friends.
Later.
The middle-aged instructor looked down at the boy who was struggling to hold the sword, and his smile faded slightly.
"Your Highness, given your current age, you should have been given a wooden sword to practice with."
"But now is a special period, so I can only use my sword."
As the instructor of the Red Keep, William Darry was very skilled and had taught many powerful warriors or knights. This was why Viserys took the initiative to seek advice from him.
No one was better suited to teach him the power of self-preservation than William Darry.
Viserys nodded after listening to Sir William's words. At the same time, he was still trying to control the sword to prevent it from falling to the ground.
The middle-aged coach saw all of Viserys' performance and nodded with some satisfaction.
The seven gods are above.
Viserys was not much inferior to his brother, at least in terms of attitude.
Then he continued to speak, and at the same time drew a long sword from the waist of another soldier sitting next to him.
"Whether it's a spear, a gun or a sword, this type of weapon has one of the best, simplest, and most useful moves."
The middle-aged instructor looked at Viserys with a dull look, and then stabbed out the long sword in his hand.
Because of the force, the sword made a sound of breaking through the air when it was thrust out.
"Learn to use the pointed end to stab your enemy."
Fast, accurate and ruthless.
A well-timed blow can pierce the enemy's throat.
After the middle-aged instructor finished demonstrating, he sheathed his sword and handed it to the soldier beside him, then turned to look at Viserys.
"Have you learned it, kid?"
Viserys nodded slightly.
"Is it easy?"
Then he continued to ask.
He knows children like this very well. They are very impetuous when they first receive training. They want to become the king of children in a few days and be invincible in the world.
However, in fact, it takes years, even more than ten years, and decades of hard training for them to become an outstanding knight.
For example, this simplest "stab", he is still practicing over and over again, striving to achieve the ultimate speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness, instead of many complicated and dazzling moves.
Those have no other use than ornamental value.
However, Viserys heard Sir William's question while holding his sword, hesitated slightly, and then shook his head.
He is not a child. This kind of question is a pit at first sight. Of course he will not jump into the pit foolishly and be taught a lesson for no reason, so Viserys spoke.
"not simple."
"Then you are wrong..."
Sir William opened his mouth, but half-way through, he choked back his words. He did not expect that Viserys would not play his cards according to the plot, and he choked up.
"Am I wrong?"
Viserys tilted his head, slightly confused.
"No, you're right."
Sir William patted his chest to regain his breath, and then said angrily.
not far away.
Rhaenys stood by the window of the carriage and saw this scene, her beautiful eyes turned into crescent moons, and she couldn't help but giggle.
She felt that Viserys must have done it on purpose.
Then they saw a middle-aged man with messy hair patting Viserys on the shoulder and telling him to practice the straight thrust method a few times to exercise his wrist strength. Now Viserys can lift the sword even slightly.
It seems a bit laborious and crooked.
Then Sir William picked up his trousers and walked towards the woods not far away, wanting to go there for convenience. Because there were women here, he needed to walk further.
And at this time.
Out of the corner of his eye, the middle-aged coach seemed to see a large number of birds suddenly flying in the direction of the path he came from.
"Um?"
The man stopped slightly and stood there, a bad premonition suddenly welling up in his heart.
at the same time.
He also felt the ground tremble slightly, and the sound of horse hooves galloping at high speed gradually sounded.
Rumble——
From far to near, it gradually enlarges, like rolling thunder.
And more soldiers sitting on the ground to rest also reacted and picked up their weapons one after another.
"Enemy attack!!!"
The soldiers on guard duty also shouted loudly from a hill not far away.
