The old knight was not wearing armor today, just wearing a gray cloth robe. His face was slightly gloomy, and he nodded.
"So to say..."
Viserys, on the other hand, paced a few steps in front of the throne in confusion, his eyes slightly losing focus.
He recalled the last time he saw his mother. At that time, Queen Leila's mental state was already very bad. She often had visual and auditory hallucinations, and then went crazy inexplicably, yelling, getting angry or crying.
At that time, Viserys thought that his mother was slightly mentally disturbed due to her pregnancy and the series of stimulation she had experienced before.
But now it seems... all of this is likely to be man-made.
"Mother...shouldn't have died..."
"Really? Sir."
Viserys stopped slightly abruptly, then turned his head and asked the old knight standing beside him.
Sir Geoffrey's face was gloomy, and he did not answer Viserys's question, as if he acquiesced.
Queen Leila should not have died. Although the woman suffered successive blows, she still showed great strength.
She had been married to the 'Crazy King' for so many years and had been abused countless times without being tortured to madness. How could she suddenly collapse and become mentally disturbed at this time?
And Viserys tried hard to remember what was destined to happen in the future if he followed the original trajectory.
The real Viserys' mental state is slowly becoming abnormal, with a bad temper and psychological distortion. Even Daenerys, who has a gentle personality, will burst into madness after being stimulated.
"So...is that so?"
Viserys stood motionless, looking at the sky and sea behind the seat in a daze.
He should have thought of it before.
However, he didn't expect it.
Viserys and Queen Leila both took hallucinogens and became crazy and violent under the influence of hallucinogens. Daenerys may also have been affected by the drug in her mother's womb.
But now.
Viserys was also given a large amount of hallucinogens by the acting city lord of Dragonstone. However, Viserys did not show symptoms of madness. He only occasionally experienced some symptoms of visual hallucinations.
For example, last night I was sitting on the Conqueror's Throne in the Picture Table Hall, looking at the map of Westeros, following the route that Aegon I once walked, and recalling the stories that the old maester once told him about this war.
.
In the end, the shadow of this war vaguely appeared in my mind, as if I had actually seen it personally.
Now that I think about it, the hallucinogen may have played a role, and Viserys fell into his own fantasy.
But it is also obvious that Viserys took more hallucinogens than Queen Layla, but the poison did not seem to have a great effect on Viserys.
Viserys only experienced some mild auditory hallucinations and visual hallucinations, and did not suffer from a mental disorder like his mother.
The old knight stood next to the throne and looked at Viserys standing there in a daze, feeling a little unbearable in his heart.
This situation is indeed cruel.
It might be acceptable to say that Queen Leila died in childbirth, but she should not have died.
It shouldn't even be like that, but because someone tarnished the honor and used such despicable methods as poisoning a pregnant woman and a child, it ended up like this.
The hair on the old Sir's gray head was blown by the wind, and he took a deep breath.
A despicable usurper, he wants to tear the opponent into pieces.
But now there is one more important thing...
"His Majesty."
There was silence in the Tutable Hall, and after being silent for a long time, the old knight finally took the initiative to break the silence and spoke.
"Perhaps you should find a doctor to diagnose your current physical condition."
There are no maesters on Dragonstone anymore, and ordinary people cannot get the care of maesters like the nobles and wealthy people, so they usually have to turn to local healers and midwives and their knowledge of herbs.
The medical skills in Westeros are actually not very good.
This also shows how rare it was for the old bachelor to live to be eighty years old.
They can even use herbal medicine to infuse or apply externally to common and simple diseases and wounds.
Sword wounds are disinfected using some extreme means, such as boiling water, Myr's fire or fire milk, the latter two of which are cauterized directly on the injured area.
If the wound has begun to rot, maggots can be used to eat the rotten limb and then be bandaged. If necessary, the wound can be sutured. An ointment containing mustard seed, nettle and baker's yeast can be applied to the wound to prevent infection.
But these must be used together with similar drugs such as poppy flower milk and sleeping wine to numb and relieve pain.
If poppy milk is not available, physical coma will be used. Of course, this method is generally not used unless it is extreme.
And these are all for treating diseases and wounds. For Viserys' current situation, there is only one other method...
That's bloodletting.
Bachelors and doctors believe that if you are poisoned, you must remove the poison from the body and cut wherever you need to.
When the venom has penetrated into the blood, bleeding is required. When the venom is released from the body, pure blood will refill its original location, thus detoxifying.
When Viserys heard Sir Geoffrey's words, his cheek twitched slightly, as if he thought of a very bad memory, and then he refused directly and decisively.
"No need, Sir."
"I feel very good now and there is no need to bother the doctor."
Afterwards, Viserys did not give Sir Geoffrey a chance to continue speaking, and spoke again with a change of subject.
"I think you know very well."
"Only drunkards, illegitimate children and women from the Free Cities will use poison as a weapon."
Viserys looked directly into Sir Geoffrey's eyes, his eyes burning with anger, and for some reason the old Sir felt a little uneasy when he looked at these lavender eyes.
"same."
"I know you believe that a just king should not abuse punishment privately, even if he is a sinner recognized by the Seven Gods."
"However, I don't want you to stop me anymore..."
Immediately, Viserys passed by the old knight and strode down from the main seat.
At the same time, his left hand grasped the hilt of the sword tied to his waist, and his other hand pulled out the dagger, which was only slightly longer than the dagger.
Qiang——
"Because there is one thing I have to do myself."
The sharp short sword, the blade flashed with cold light, Viserys held the hilt tightly, his face was cold and without any warmth.
"Uh-huh--"
The illegitimate child, who was tied up and lying on the ground, saw the steps of this cute silver-haired boy approaching.
