The old maid took Viserys down from Maegor's Tower and to the ballroom on the first floor.
This ballroom located in Maegor's House is mainly used for royal banquets and dances, and can accommodate about a hundred people.
Sunlight shines through the arched windows and shines on the silver mirrors in the ballroom. Rows of lit candles sway gently, and the entire ballroom is brightly lit.
There is a long corridor on the second floor of the ballroom. Gorgeous wood carvings and exquisitely crafted brocades and satins hang on the thick walls. Two three-headed dragon flags symbolizing the Targaryen family hang on both sides of the door.
The entire Maegor's Tower is actually a castle within a castle. It is located in the center of the Red Keep. It has walls and moats up to twelve feet thick. As a royal residence, its defense capabilities are naturally impenetrable.
Viserys followed the old maid to the ballroom and found that many guards had gathered here, all arranging their equipment and weapons.
The figures of Viserys and the old maid walking in attracted their attention, but they only glanced at each other, and then continued to do their own things.
"His Royal Highness Prince."
A middle-aged man with gray-black hair, wearing leather armor and breeches, was also wiping the sword in his hand. He saw Viserys walking in, and nodded slightly to say hello to him.
Another Kingsguard wearing a white robe heard the sound and turned his head to look at Viserys.
Being locked in the gazes of the two knights, Viserys tightened his fingers under his sleeves slightly in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm and bowed slightly to greet him politely.
"Hello."
"Sir William."
Sir William Darry is the instructor in the Red Keep. He is mainly responsible for training the guards in the Red Keep in combat skills and formations. He is also very proficient in combat, otherwise he would not hold such an important position.
And his brother is Sir Jon Darry of the Kingsguard. He followed Prince Rhaegar to participate in the counter-rebellion war. After the Battle of the Trident, his life or death is unknown now.
Then Viserys turned his head and looked at the young-looking Kingsguard, nodded and greeted him in the same way.
"Sir James."
The white-robed knight was speechless. He held the hilt of the sword at his waist with one hand and looked up and down at Viserys' figure strangely.
Was walking past him.
Although he had only been a member of the Kingsguard for a short time, he was not very familiar with the members of the Targaryen family, especially the second prince.
But after all, they lived in the Red Keep, and usually looked down without looking up. He always felt that there was something strange about Viserys today that he couldn't explain.
It seems that my back is straighter and my attitude is a little more humble.
James grasped the hilt of the sword with five fingers, and then turned his eyes elsewhere.
Viserys ignored everyone's glances at him. Although his heartbeat was a little accelerated at the moment, he seemed to have found some form.
The more difficult the situation, the more tenacious he will remain. This is a characteristic he has retained in his previous life and this life.
Viserys came to the seat in the middle of the hall. Sitting on the seat was a gorgeously dressed silver-haired woman. He did not raise his head and looked directly, but bowed slightly and saluted.
"Mother."
The atmosphere in the ballroom was still solemn and heavy, but he didn't know what was happening.
"Viserys."
Then, a tired voice sounded from the top of Viserys' head.
Queen Leila stretched out her hand and passed through the boy's waist, gently hugged her son, and then rested her head on the side of his face.
"my child..."
"There's something terrible I have to tell you..."
Viserys could clearly feel his mother's body trembling slightly. The strong woman in her voice had actually reached the peak of collapse.
The velvet clothes are covered with redness, bite marks and scratches. These are the marks left on her body by her crazy husband when the bad news came last night, but Rhaella Targaryen, a strong woman, is still there.
Persevere hard.
Although she was devastated by the death of her eldest son in the war and the news that the country was in danger, coupled with the mental and physical trauma she suffered last night, she had to pick herself up again for the sake of Viserys and the child in her belly.
Fortunately, her husband still retained a trace of reason in his madness. Knowing that the situation might be irreversible, he urgently ordered the dispatch of a team of Red Keep guards to escort Queen Leila and his second son Viserys to escape to Dragonstone.
Aerys II himself stayed behind in King's Landing and prepared to fight to the death with the enemy. He would never hand over the entire royal capital to the rebels. He would fight to the death with the traitors.
Because the rebels are not far from King's Landing.
Although the raven has brought news that His Majesty the King's friend Tywin Lannister, Duke of Casterly Rock, has decided to mobilize troops to serve the King. But after all, everything has not yet been decided, so it is the right way to take the lead in escorting the Queen and Prince away from a right and wrong place like King's Landing.

…
Wow——
Heavily armed soldiers protected the carriage on the left and right. The maid carried Queen Layla, who had difficulty walking, onto the carriage, and then pulled down the carriage tent, sealing it tightly.
Viserys followed his mother, preparing to board the second carriage.
At this moment, an episode seemed to suddenly occur in the team.
A little girl with brown hair ran out of nowhere. The soldiers guarding her did not know the inside story, so they turned a blind eye to the girl.
As the commander of the team, Sir William hesitated slightly, then sighed, and finally chose to remain silent.
The brown-haired little girl ran to Viserys' car, pulled his clothes and raised her cute little face, as if asking where they were going and why they didn't take her with them.
"Let's go..."
Viserys recognized who this girl was based on his memory, but he hesitated slightly at this moment and clenched his fist.
He knew very well that he didn't even have a clear understanding of the situation yet, so rationally he shouldn't make extraneous matters.
but...
The silver-haired boy gritted his teeth and finally gave up. Then he reached out and pulled up the little girl, leading her directly into the carriage.
Then a little black cat running from behind easily jumped onto the roof of the carriage.
"Hey! Balerion!"
The little girl in the carriage screamed excitedly, and then Viserys covered her mouth.
"Uh huh..."
The boy in the carriage looked nervously outside the carriage, then closed the curtain again and whispered in her ear.
"Hey…"
"Be quiet for now, Rhaenys."
finally.
Gululu——
As the wheels rolled on the stone road, the sound of horse hooves tapping on the ground was heard.
The knights held the weapons in their hands tightly, and a team escorted the two carriages and hurriedly opened the door.
Leaving the Red Fort and running towards the distance.
