044: The Dragon's Daughter, a timid little girl
Illyrio walked briskly towards the room belonging to the Targaryen siblings.
His brisk steps are the same as his happy mood.
Just now, Titankao agreed to his request to withdraw his troops from the Kohor Forest.
Although the Titankao stated that he would leave a force of no more than 3,000 men to stay in the Kohor Forest to ensure his occupation of the Kohor Forest and the protection of the trade routes.
But this is not a very difficult thing to accept, let alone Illyrio, even Antillor, the governor of Kohor, actually doesn't really care much about the ownership of Kohor Forest. All they were concerned about was the fact that Titankao's army was stationed in the Kohor Forest.
After all, it only takes five days to get from the Kohor Forest to the city of Kohor. The terrifying 30,000 troops of the Titankao are stationed in this place, which is always a frightening thing.
And now, although Titankao still said that he must leave 3,000 men behind to defend it, his large army will soon withdraw and return to the Dothraki Seas of Grass in the next few days.
Illyrio for the Free Trade Association brought peace to Kohor.
That alone is a huge benefit to his business, not to mention the additional benefits that come with it.
Walking through the long corridor, Illyrio saw the Targaryen brothers and sisters standing in the pavilion, and Daenerys made Illyrio's eyes light up after being carefully dressed.
After Daenerys had bathed and cleansed, the slave girl helped her to her feet and dried her with a towel.
A girl combed her hair as bright as molten silver, while the old woman applied her with the essence of flowers and herbs native to the Dothraki steppe, touching her wrists, behind her ears, on her doublets, on her lips, and on her lower body; Then dress her in the ** sent by Governor Illyrio. Then put on a dark purple silk robe, which set off her violet eyes. The girl put on gold-rimmed sandals for her. And the old woman put a crown on her, and a gold bracelet with amethysts. Finally, a heavy necklace made of gold. It is engraved with ancient Valyrian scripts.
Viserys looked her up and down with a hint of comment.
"Stand here." He commanded her: "Turn around, yes, good, you look ......"
"It's royal." Illyrio interjected and stepped out.
It was only then that the Targaryen siblings noticed Illyrio's arrival.
"Princess Daenerys, may you receive all the blessings of the Seven Gods on this wonderful day." Illyrio said as he took Daenerys' hand and bowed his head.
"Your Highness Viserys, the princess is as beautiful as a goddess." Illyrio smiled and said to Viserys, "Titan Kao will be very satisfied. ”
"She's just too thin. Not fully grown yet. Viserys frowned. However, he did not care about his sister, he was more concerned about another thing than his own, and with his hand on the hilt of the sword that Illyrio had lent him, Viserys said, "Are you sure the Titancao will like her?" ”
"Of course, Your Royal Highness. Her Royal Highness the Princess has already had a menstrual affair, and she is old enough to marry, and I have already mentioned this matter to Titan Kao. Illyrio laughed, "Look at her silver hair and violet eyes. She has an ancient Valyrian aristocratic ancestry. And she was of illustrious origin, a descendant of the conqueror, the daughter of the old king, and the sister of the new king. Definitely the best candidate to become Queen of Titans. ”
"Is that so?" Viserys was suspicious, "I've heard that these barbarians have unique tastes, and even little boys, horses, and sheep can ......."
"Your Highness. Please don't mention this again in front of the Titans. ”
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
"I am the king when you are the king, and the so-called king has no ordinary concerns. If you feel that I have offended you. Then I apologize to you. Illyrio bowed his head slightly and said, "And, Titan Kao." He was very different from the average Dothraki. ”
"Oh, how different?" Viserys replied nonchalantly, apparently he didn't take it seriously.
"Well, I think it's better for Your Highness to see it with your own eyes." Illyrio smiled and said, "Now that the Titankao is a guest in my palace, he should visit the garden at this time. ”
"yes, then we should go check it out." Viserys said excitedly, "Illyrio, take me there, let's go and see it together." ”
"Of course, His Royal Highness the Prince, Her Royal Highness the Princess, please come here."
While Illyrio and Viserys talk about her marriage, Daenerys remains silent, like a delicate doll, letting the two men tinker with her future.
When Illyrio was about to take himself and his brother to see the TitanKao, Daenerys was both curious and worried. She couldn't help but think of what the girls had told him about the Titankao in the shower.
"Titankao was very tall, he stood on the ground like a moving mountain, and Dothraki's tallest horse was a head shorter than him."
"Titankao is very rich, and I heard that he has found a mountain of gold in Dothrak, with an inexhaustible supply of gold and precious stones."
"Some say that he killed a dragon king, drained his blood, and bathed in it, which made him invulnerable to his strength."
"Dragon, is there still a dragon in this world?" Daenerys thought to herself.
Although her brother always said that they were of true dragon blood, Daenerys had never seen a dragon. Viserys had said that in the halls of King's Landing, there were bones of dragons that had belonged to House Targaryen for generations, but Daenerys had never seen them, she didn't even know what dragons looked like, all she knew was the stories that Viserys had fanatically described to her.
The Black Death 'Bellerion', with its mouth big enough to swallow an entire bison in one gulp, its teeth like sharp swords. The flames it spits out are as black as night as its scales, and the shadows of its wings are big enough to cover the bustling town.
With golden eyes and silver scales, Mirasis was the most beautiful of all dragons.
Vaghar's flames are the hottest, easily melting armor and roasting people alive.
There are also Yangyan, Syracles, and Dream Fire...... Viserys can tell the story of every dragon the Targaryens have ever had. It was as if he had seen these huge beings flying in the sky, but Daenerys had never seen them.
"Shall I ask him?" Daenerys couldn't help but wonder, "Did he really kill a dragon?" ”
Maylis had no way to continue to take Jian Liu to play in the Illyrio Palace. Despite eight years of training in the Temple of Reese, Maylis's body was well prepared for the day. But preparation is just preparation after all. During the whole process, she made Liu Jian extremely happy, but it also made her physical strength consume a lot, and she had to be supported by two servants to return to her own room to rest.
Although Illyrio's garden is very beautiful, it is the same thing after watching it for a long time, Liu Jian wanders around the garden at will.
Then he saw some women with a group of young boys playing games there.
The women would throw a ball, a hollow ball of golden ivy soaked in oil, bouncing off the marble floor, and the children would chase after it. In the end, those who successfully grab the rattan ball will be rewarded with a candy.
One of the little brown-haired boys behaved very well, and as soon as Liu Jian watched, he was rewarded with three candies as a winner.
Anyway, bored, Liu Jian simply sat down on the edge of the flower bed, smiling and watching a group of children cheer or cry sadly because of a simple reward of rattan balls and a candy in the sun.
The older I get, the more I like children.
The more I spend time with people, the more I like dogs.
Liu Jian has not become a dog lover for the time being, but he does like these simple happiness and simple sadness. Pure excitement, because a little thing can be happy or sad for a long time. It's also nice to just sit by and watch them play.
It is impossible to hide everything that happened in Illyrio's palace, and of course Liu Jian's whereabouts and behavior are also. Liu Jian and Maylis's garden field battle was soon reported to Illyrio by the servants. on this. Illyrio was very pleased.
If Maylis can be loved by Liu Jian, it will certainly be a good thing for Illyrio to celebrate. This means that Illyrio can naturally put some eyes on Liu Jian's side, after all, no matter what the actual situation is. Nominally, Maylis is Illyrio's niece after all. If Maylis becomes Liu Jian's woman, even if it is a nameless mistress. Then as an uncle, Illyrio should naturally give some dowry. These dowries, of course, included some of Maylis's usual servants.
What's more, Maylis also confirmed one thing, that is, Liu Jian is quite lustful.
Peeked at the silent doll-like Daenerys, although she was still young, but at this time Daenerys had already shown a beautiful color, the silver-blonde hair and violet eyes were simply not mortal beauty. Since Liu Jian can like the beautiful Maylis, then the more beautiful Daenerys must make Liu Jian like it even more.
In order to give Liu Jian more time to enjoy, Illyrio deliberately took Viserys and Daenerys around the palace for a while before taking them to Liu Jian's current location.
Illyrio pointed to Liu Jian, who was sitting next to the flower bed, and said to Daenerys: "Look at Her Royal Highness the Princess, that's the Titan Kao." ”
Dany just wants to run away and hide, but Viserys is staring at her, and if he provokes him, he will be about to awaken the sleeping dragon's wrath. So she nervously turned to see the man Viserys wanted to ask for her to marry.
She found that Titankao was indeed very tall, as the girl who bathed her had told her, and even when she sat there, she could clearly see that his body was more generous and majestic than that of ordinary people. And, as Illyrio says, he doesn't look like a Dothraki.
He didn't have the bushy beard and long hair of the usual Dothraki, and he didn't dress like a normal Dothraki. Compared with the richly dressed Illyrio, Liu Jian's clothes looked much shabby. He was dressed in a strange coat made of black cotton (trench coat), and his slightly long hair was scattered at the back of his head without any care, but it was very clean.
The face like a marble sculpture shines brightly in the sun, and the corners of his mouth are filled with a warm smile, just looking at the happy and frolicking children, it is quiet as if it is really a rock sculpture.
Daenerys suddenly felt that if she was married to such a person, maybe it would not be a bad thing.
"He doesn't look like a Dothraki?" Daenerys couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, Your Highness Princess, I never said he was a Dothraki." Illyrio laughed, and he saw the confusion on Viserys' face: "He just conquered the Dothraki, defeated the strongest warriors among the Dothraki, and made all the Dothraki kneel and bow down to him. ”
"Pretty." Viserys couldn't help but ask.
"I've seen countless generals, governors, Kao. But none felt as invincible as Titankao, who defeated four times his enemies with 2,000 men and Drogo Kao, who defeated ten times his size with 10,000 men. Now his army has 30,000 men, and it is constantly growing. Think about His Royal Highness, how many enemies will he defeat next time? How many troops did the usurper have? 100,000, 200,000, 300,000? Believe me, my king, no matter how many troops the usurper has, it is not worth mentioning in front of the Titankao. ”
"Perfect." Viserys admired, his eyes filled with ferze.
"I'll have to go over and tell him what I mean." Governor Illyrio said, "Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness the Princess, please wait here for a while, and I will come as soon as I go." ”
As Illyrio staggered towards Liu Jian, Viserys grabbed Daenerys' hand tightly, grabbing her and screaming in pain.
Viserys leaned into Daenerys' ear and said, "Did you hear what Illyrio said, my good sister?" With 2,000 defeating 8,000 and 10,000 defeating 100,000, he is the reincarnation of the dragon king Aegon. And you will be his queen, and we will return to the Seven Kingdoms with his army, his invincible army, to take back our land! The betrayers, the 'usurpers', the kingkillers, and the rebels are all finished. I will sit on the Iron Throne and become the King of the Seven Kingdoms! ”
Viserys babbled on and on, his eyes burning feverishly!
Daenerys suddenly felt extremely frightened, she just wanted to escape, run away, and didn't want to stay here for a moment! (To be continued.) )
