Chapter Eighty-Nine: Everyone Dies

When Quish had also departed, Ser Jorah said, "She is right, my queen..... Even though I didn't like her either, ........."

"To be honest, I don't understand her." Haiya and Zaro had promised to be her faithful servants through and through from the first sight of her dragon, but she had only received a few vague and secret words from Quix, and she had never seen the woman's face, which disturbed her.

Remember Miri Maz Dur, she told herself, remember the betrayal. She turned to her Blood Guard. "If we stay here for a day, we're going to have to keep watching. No one is allowed to enter this side of the wing without my permission. These dragons, in particular, must be guarded with care at all times. ”

"Yes, Carrihy," said Argo.

"We're only seeing part of Quells β€” the part that Haiya Boli wants us to see," she continued.

"Lacallo, I want you to look deep into the rest and report back to me what you have seen. Bring a good hand – and a few women – to get into places that men are off-limits. ”

"Yes, blood of my blood," LaCarlo said.

"Sir Jorah, I want you to go to the docks and see what kind of ships are moored there. I haven't heard from the Seven Kingdoms for half a year. Perhaps the gods will blow some kind captain from Westeros here and take us home in his ship. ”

The knight frowned. "That's not a good idea. The usurper will kill you, as surely as the sun will rise. Mormont hooked his thumb on the belt of his sword. I will stay by your side and protect you. ”

"Jogo can defend me, too. Moreover, you speak more languages than my Blood Allies, and the Dothraki do not trust the sea and those who sail the seas, and you are the only one who works for me in this matter. Go ahead, walk between the ships, talk to the sailors, and find out where they come from. Come, where to go, and those who are responsible for directing them. ”

The banished knight nodded reluctantly. "Yes, my Queen."

When all the men had left, and the maid had stripped her of her dusty silk coat, Daenerys slowly walked out to the marble bath in the shadow of the porch. The water was so cool that the little goldfish in the pool bit her skin curiously, causing her to giggle. It was a good feeling that she closed her eyes and floated with the waves, knowing that she could rest as long as she wanted. I wonder if Aegon's Red Keep also has such a pool, such a fragrant garden of lavender and mint. There must be. Viserys often said that the Great Kingdom is the most beautiful place in the world.

The thought of home made her uneasy. If her Sun and Star were still alive, he would surely lead Karatha's voyage across the poisonous waters to sweep away her enemies, but his power has disappeared from this world. Although her blood alliance guards are still there, and they are excellent in martial arts, and they are sworn to serve their lives, they are only heroes after all. The Dothraki ransacked cities and plundered kingdoms, but they did not know how to rule. Daenerys didn't want King's Landing to be a charred ruin full of spirits, and she had had enough of her tears.

I want my kingdom to be beautiful and beautiful, full of strong men, beautiful women, and happy children. I want my people to smile as I ride by, as Viserys said, to smile at my father. To do this, you must first conquer.

The usurper will kill you, as sure as the sun will rise, Mormont said. Robert killed her valiant brother Rhaegar and sent minions across the Sea of Dothraki in an attempt to poison her and her unborn child. Robert Baratheon is said to be as strong as a bull, fearless on the battlefield, and a man who loved war more than anything else. Around him, there are many great nobles who his brother calls 'usurper lackeys': Eddard Stark, who has cold eyes and a frozen heart; The golden Lannisters are wealthy, powerful, and treacherous.

How could she defeat such an enemy? While Drogocao was alive, the people trembled and offered tribute to keep his wrath at bay, or else he would have to seize his rival's cities, wealth, wives, and so on. But his caratha is huge, and hers is so weak. She follows her comets, and her people follow her through the Red Wasteland, and they will follow her across the poisonous waters, but they alone are not enough, not even her dragons. Viserys believed that the people of the country would rise up for the true king...... But Viserys is a fool, and fools believe stupidity.

Doubt made her tremble. She suddenly felt that the water was too cold, and the bite of the small fish was annoying. Dani got up and climbed out of the pool. "Ellie," she cried, "Kiki." ”

The maids towels dried her and wrapped her in a sand robe, and Daenerys's mind turned to the three men who had come to her in the City of Bones. The "Bloodweeping Star" led me to Quells for a purpose. As long as I have enough strength to seek help, and enough wisdom to avoid traps and traps, I will find what I need. If the gods have destined me to be the conqueror, they will support me and perform some kind of miracle.

Drogon, the black dragon has shown miracles, this is the will of the gods!

Towards evening, Daenerys was feeding the dragons, and Eli walked through Silk Market to inform Ser Jorah that he had returned from the docks..... Also brought a person. "Invite them in, whoever he has brought, come in with him," she was curious.

When they entered, she sat on a pile of cushions on the ground, her dragon surrounding her. The visitor wore a yellow and green feather cloak, and his black skin was like polished black jade. "Your Majesty," said the knight, "I bring you Kuhuru Mo, the captain of the Laurel Wind, from the town of Tall Tree. ”

The dark-skinned man knelt down. "I am so honoured, Your Majesty," he said, not in the Midsummer Islands language, which Dani did not understand, but in the Valyrian language spoken by the nine free trade city-states, and was very fluent.

"It's my pleasure, Kuhuru Mo," Dani replied in the same language. "You're from the Midsummer Islands?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Less than half a year ago, we stopped in Old Town, where I brought you a special gift. ”

"Gifts?"

"Good news. O Stormborn Mother of Dragons, let me tell you that Robert Baratheon is dead. ”

Beyond the walls, twilight shrouded Quells, but a red sun rose from Dani's heart. "He's dead?" She repeated. The sleeping black dragon suddenly felt a familiar breath coming from a distant place, she raised her head and hissed, and then puffed out a white smoke that covered Daenerys like a veil.

Many times, Daenerys looks into her cold eyes and always feels that she is even smarter than humans. The two small dragons didn't look threatening yet, but the size of the black dragon had reached the level of a large dog, which made the black man who came in a little nervous. So Daenerys said, "Drogon, be quiet. ”

I'm not called Zhuo Geng, Lin Mengchu hissed, but then understood that it was meaningless. She could write on the ground with her paws, but why bother? It's also fun to watch intrigues, betrayals, and court struggles as a dragon, isn't it?

"Are you sure? Is the usurper really dead?"

"That's what everybody in Old Town says, in Dorne, in Reese, in all the ports we call at."

He brought me poisoned wine, and now that I am alive, he died first. "How did he die?" Over her shoulder, Viserion flapped his milky wings, stirring the air.

"He was poked to death by a monstrous boar while hunting in the Royal Forest, at least that's what I've heard in Old Town. There are also

It was said that the queen had betrayed him, or that his brother, or that his prime minister, Duke Stark. What all the legends have in common is that King Robert is indeed dead, and he is already in the grave. ”

The familiar feeling had already flashed, Lin Mengchu coiled his body and closed his eyes, and began to think about what the aura just now represented. Chen is somewhere in this world now, maybe a whale, maybe a wild boar...... Hey, he's not really going to be a wild boar, is he?

Robert Baratheon is said to be the strongest man on the continent of Westeros across the Narrow Sea, how could such a man be easily killed by a wild boar? Maybe that wild boar was really changed by classmate Chen, so that he could kill a king headlong. Thinking of this, she opened her eyes again, looked at the few people in the room, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Heilong's daily thing is to eat and sleep, sleep and eat, she eats a lot and sleeps a lot, so she can grow so fast.

Daenerys didn't know what the usurper looked like, but she hardly thought of him for a day. He was like a great shadow that had enveloped her since she was born, born in blood and storms, but because of him there was nowhere to live. However, at this moment, this strange dark-skinned man suddenly liberated her.

"The boy is seated on the Iron Throne," said Sir Jorah.

"Now that King Joffrey is on the throne," added Kuhuru Mo, "the affairs of government are in the hands of the Lannisters." Two of Robert's younger brothers fled King's Landing, and rumors have it that they intended to claim the throne. The Prime Minister loses power, and Duke Stark, King Robert's best friend, is arrested for treason. ”

"Eddard Stark treason?" Sir Jorah scoffed. "Only the devil believes! Even if Eternal Summer comes, this guy will not tarnish his precious honor. ”

"What honor can he have?" "He betrayed the real king, and so did the Lannisters. It was pleasant, but not surprising, to hear the usurper's lackeys killing each other. The same happened after her Drogo's death, and the mighty Karasa was torn apart.

"My brother Viserys is dead, and he is the true king," she told the Midsummer Islanders. "My husband Drogo Kao killed him and crowned him with molten gold." If only my brother had been smarter, the revenge he had prayed for day and night was already at hand!

"I grieve for you, Mother of Dragons, and for the bleeding Westeros for the loss of its true king."

Beneath Dani's gentle fingers, the green Regor stared at the stranger with molten gold eyes. He opened his mouth, his teeth glistening like black needles. "Captain, when will your ship go to Westeros again?"

"I'm afraid not in a year or two. From here, the Laurel Wind will depart east and follow the trade route around the Jade Sea. ”

"I see," Dani said, a little disappointed. "I wish you a smooth journey and a prosperous business. You have brought me a precious gift. ”

"And I have been richly rewarded, Great Queen."

She was a little confused. "How so?"

His eyes sparkled. "I saw the dragon."

Dani smiled. "Hopefully, one day, you'll see more. When I ascend to the throne of my father, come to King's Landing and you will be richly rewarded. ”

The people of the Midsummer Islands promised to do so, and kissed her ten fingers before leaving. Kiki led him out, and Jorah Mormont stayed.

"Kalihee," said Riding Soil as they were alone, "if I were you, I wouldn't just tell me what I was going to do. Wherever this kind of person goes, he will make a big publicity. ”

"Let him say it," she said. "Let the whole world know my determination. The usurper is dead, what am I afraid of?"

"Not every sailor's story is true," warns Sir Jorah, "and even if Robert dies, his son will have to reign in his place." Honestly, nothing has changed. ”

"Everything has changed." Dani slammed to his feet. Her dragon screamed as he let go of its tail and spread its wings and flew away. "Once upon a time, the Seven Kingdoms were like Drogo's Karatha, united by the power of their leader. Now, they too will fall apart like Kao's death. ”

"The great nobles are always indulging in power games and fighting endlessly. Whoever wins, I can predict how the situation will change. O Kalixi, the Seven Kingdoms will not fall into your hands like ripe peaches. You need fleets, you need money, you need armies, you need alliesβ€”"

"I know all of that." She took his hand and looked deep into his dark eyes of doubt. In his eyes, I was sometimes a girl who needed his protection, sometimes a woman he wanted to sleep with, and did he ever really see me as his queen?

"I'm no longer the terrified girl you met in Pantos. That's right, I've only experienced fifteen name days......... But, Jorah, I, too, am as old as Doshikarin's old woman, and as young as my dragon. I've conceived a child, burned a Kao, crossed the Red Heath and the Dothraki Sea. I have the blood of a true dragon in my veins. ”

"Like your brother," he said stubbornly.

"I'm not like Viserys."

"I don't mean him," he explained, "but Rhaegar." But don't forget, even Rhaegar will die. Robert is on the Trident River, and with just one warhammer proves that true dragons also have nemesis. ”

"The real dragon will die." She lifted her toes and kissed his unshaven cheek. "But so do dragon slayers."
