Chapter 90: The Storm Comes
In the afterglow of the sun, the brick towers of Pantos turned into a black silhouette.
Seeing that night was approaching, the bald-headed red-robed monk lit a night fire and reverently chanted prayers in the light of the fire, and a group of children in tattered clothes chased and frolicked through the evening streets, until they were caught by their parents, who were also wearing shabby clothes, and then returned home.
Gradually, the whole street fell silent, except for the burning flames and the waves of the bay.
On top of the tower, a young girl in a lilac gauze dress with silver-white hair took it all in, her lilac eyes looking down at the street below, and her delicate and beautiful face was full of calm.
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps from under the tower.
The girl frowned slightly, reached into her waist with her bare hand, and quietly pulled out a light stabbing sword.
"Daenerys, I knew you were here, come back with meβah!"
Before the angry and eager questioning could fall, it was interrupted by the flickering tip of the sword.
The girl held the sword in her hand diagonally, the tip of the sword from the bottom up, gently resting on the chin of the person who climbed the tower.
Like the girl, this man also has long silver-white hair, handsome features, a thin body, and white lilac eyes full of anger and fear, it is Daenerys Targaryen's brother, Viserys Targaryen.
Feeling a slight tingling sensation in his neck, Viserys didn't dare to move, and could only stare at his sister with a fierce and inwardly look.
"You...... What do you want?! β
"Be careful, Viserys." The girl glanced at him faintly, "In this position, I can poke you in the head with a single force, and stir up your foul-smelling brain full of and urine." β
"You!"
Viserys' eyes widened, glaring at his sister in front of him, wanting to reprimand her for not having the demeanor of a royal family, and to spit out such filthy words at her noble self.
But when he met Daenerys's eyes, he unconsciously weakened his tone.
"We are Targaryens who have inherited the blood of the true dragon, and we have the noble blood of the king flowing in our bodies......"
"Whew-"
Daenerys sneered, interrupting Viserys' words, and her lilac eyes glanced at him contemptuously, "True dragon's blood...... When you sold me to Drogo Kao in private, why didn't you take into account the true dragon's blood in me? According to your logic, how can a proud true dragon be reconciled with a despicable beast! β
Viserys weakened when he heard this.
He swallowed and said, "That Drogokao is not an ordinary inferior race, he holds countless gold and silver treasures, even the collar around the neck of the slave is made of gold, the palace in the city of Vis Dothrak has two hundred rooms, and the doors are all made of silver, but these are not the most important, the most important thing is that there are 100,000 Dothraki warriors in his Karasa (clan)......"
Viserys kept saying nice things about Drogo Kao, trying to convince Daenerys to show her how rich her future husband was and how brave he was on the battlefield.
But what he didn't know was that Daenerys had already known the details of Drogo Kao.
In the face of Viserys' praise, Daenerys was unmoved.
She gently withdrew her bayonet sword, turned around, and said lightly in the sea breeze: "I said, let me think about it." β
Viserys was a little anxious, and immediately said: "What is there to consider, Drogo Kao has already come to Pantos with the army, and tomorrow there will be a banquet to marry you, you just want to refuse now, and it's too late!" β
Daenerys frowned, and her slender hand drew her sword like lightning, striking Viserys' white neck once more.
"Get out! Don't make me say it again! β
ββ¦β¦β
In the face of Daenerys's angry shouting, Viserys originally wanted to say something, but when he saw those cold lilac eyes, a piercing chill emerged from his memory, which made him fearful, and he could only turn away in a gray manner.
After the other party left, Daenerys put away her sword, turned to look at the bay in the distance, and spat out a name faintly.
"Drogo Kao ......"
Daenerys' eyes were complicated.
She is not the original Daenerys Targaryen, but a time-traveler whose soul has pierced this woman.
Thirteen years ago, with the help of House Stark and House Lannister, the Baratheon family set off a war of reelers, and in the face of the approaching coalition of 'reelers', the pregnant Queen Layla and her young prince Viserys were forced to flee King's Landing and take refuge in their ancestral fiefdom of Dragonstone under the escort of Sir William Dary, the head of the Red Keep.
Nine months after her escape, Daenerys was born on Dragonstone Island, when a summer storm struck and the Royal Targaryen fleet anchored in the military port was completely destroyed, and the boulder collapsed from the battlements and fell into the frantic tide of the channel.
Queen Layla died in childbirth, and the young Viserys blamed Daenerys for all this in the storm, unaware that her newborn sister had been taken over by a soul from another world.
That's right, like Zhao Lihe in the world of embroidered spring knives, Daenerys is also a traverser who has worn her soul since childhood.
She was a fencer in her previous life, participated in the Olympics, and although she did not win a medal, she is also a fencing master.
After crossing over to Daenerys, it only took her three days to learn the name of her cheap brother, and then she was shocked to find that she had traveled to the world of a song of ice and fire, and became the famous dragon mother Daenerys Targaryen.
Although Daenerys is the protagonist of Shuangwen all the way in the novel and TV series, the first half of her life is extremely miserable, and it is not just described by the four words of displacement.
Crossing over to the newborn Daenerys is not a pleasant and joyful thing.
Externally, she has to face the hunt of the entire Seven Kingdoms of Westeros.
Internally, there is also her brother Viserys, who beats and scolds her at every turn.
Despite this difficult external environment, Daenerys has grown tenaciously and regained a superb fencing skill that far surpasses the skills of her previous life.
At the same time, she also used her mature mind and noble blood in the eyes of others to constantly win the hearts of those poor people around her in the process of growing up.
But due to her age, Daenerys can still do too little.
Even if she already knew the trajectory of her future life, it would be difficult to change the fate of the first half of her life.
So, from Dragonstone to Braavos, from Braavos to Mill, to Telosi, Kohor, Valantis......
Daenerys has always been adrift, never really settled down somewhere.
Until a month earlier, they had arrived in Pantos, where the Governor of Illyrio had received them with a warm reception, but had secretly persuaded Viserys to marry his sister to the horse king Drogo Kao in exchange for the capture of Westeros' capital.
This idea made Viserys, who had been suppressed by his sister who had grown up in recent years, extremely excited.
He agreed without hesitation, but out of fear of his sister, Viserys did not dare to tell Daenerys until the army of the horse king Drogo Kao approached Pantos.
