Daenerys looked east from the narrow window.

The morning mist on the sea was hazy, and a bright star disappeared in the gradually brightening sky. The mist was like a floating mountain flowing in the air. The flowing clouds gradually bloomed with crimson light, and as the sun rose, it became red, golden, and finally turned into thousands of rose, gold and red ribbons, which stretched endlessly and were finally blown away by the sea breeze.

She rarely watched the sunrise in this room. In the past, she was in the bedroom on the table hall. Today was the day she officially moved into the table hall.

The door opened after a gentle knock. Three maids, Missandei, and two noble girls, Alyssa Velaryon and Layla Marseille - in addition to these two people, there were already many noble children in Viserys's court, and soon there would be a large number of children of Stormland nobles filling in as attendants, wine servers, and maids. Because these two maids were more tactful and able to keep secrets than other noble girls after several rounds of tests, they were arranged to serve Daenerys.

Three maids brought hot water to bathe Daenerys.

"Princess," Alessa saluted her respectfully, "So you are awake."

Rhaella and Missandei followed. After a large number of nobles joined the court, Missandei spoke less. Although she was still a maid living in the maid's room closest to the king, she knew when to keep a low profile.

Daenerys asked, "It's getting late. How is the breakfast party going? Is His Majesty okay?"

The king's wedding will be held in the sept at noon, but before that, the king needs to start socializing in the morning. In comparison, Daenerys is much more relaxed. She only needs to dress up in the room, and then, accompanied by the noble women of the narrow sea lords who have finished breakfast, wait until noon to go to the sept for the ceremony.

The king needs to deal with the Stormlands, the narrow sea lords, Dorne, and some guests from the free cities at the same time. Daenerys prayed secretly for her brother.

Missandei undressed her and helped her into the big tub.

They filled the tub with hot water from the kitchen and sprinkled in scented oil. The girls wrapped a velvet towel around Dany's hair and helped her into the bath. The bath water was boiling hot, just as Daenerys was used to every time she took a bath.

She liked this heat.

Missandei carefully combed her hair, braided her silver-white hair, and silently sorted out the strands of hair.

Alessa helped her wash her back and feet, and Rhaella washed her arms and every finger.

Alessa couldn't help but say: "Princess, you must be the most beautiful woman in the world. The beauty in the dreams of young girls is not as good as you."

Daenerys couldn't help but look at her belly and smiled back: "On this day, I believe what you said. Today I must be the most beautiful in the world and the happiest."

She knew from a young age that the person she was going to marry was Viserys. The blood flowing in their bodies was the blood of the king, the golden blood of the ancient Valyrian people, and the blood of the proud real dragon.

After the bath, the maids helped her up and dried her body with a velvet towel. The girl combed her hair until it was as shiny as molten silver, and applied various flower and herbal essences to her. Then she put on the finest silk woven underwear, and then covered her with a dark purple silk robe. Countless small pearls formed various beautiful flowers embedded in the robe, which set off her violet eyes. A red and black ribbon with gold edges representing the Targaryen family was tied around her waist; there was also a long dark purple streamer embroidered with sixteen three-headed dragons.

The bride's cloak was a transparent and elegant purple-black velvet, embroidered with ninety-nine red dragons with gold edges.

The girls put on gold-rimmed boots for her, and put on pearl earrings and gold bracelets inlaid with amethysts. Finally, there was a dragon bone necklace inlaid with gold, with a huge sapphire at the core, and the dragon bone was faintly engraved with the runes of ancient Valyria, meaning "Queen".

When Daenerys turned around and looked at herself in the silver-studded dressing mirror, she felt a spontaneous happiness and excitement. From today on, she would officially become the queen of Viserys.

She thought of her mother, Queen Rhaella, Aegon's sister's wife, the virtuous queen of the old king, and Daenerys. Finally, her gradually scattered eyes focused and she saw the person in the dressing mirror. It was herself, Daenerys Targaryen.

Daenerys's room was in the master bedroom behind the main hall of the castle. Here, she could hear the main hall entering the gift-giving session.

The gifts prepared by the nobles of Dorne were mostly weapons. Some presented a huge dragon bone bow inlaid with various gems; some presented saddles; some presented riding boots; there were also brooches, spurs, lances, long swords, and even some people gave ships and horses. Daenerys was really a pity that she was not there. Just listening to the roll call, she couldn't imagine what those ordinary-sounding utensils looked like.

"A glazed, jeweled, and coral pedestal, from Illyrio, the treasurer."

"Please allow me to present you the crown of Queen Rhaella." Daenerys suddenly heard someone speaking loudly, and the main hall outside fell silent for a moment, "from Tycho Nestor of Braavos."

Although Viserys had informed her in advance, Daenerys still felt excited when it was really presented now, although Viserys and she couldn't figure out why the crown sold in Myr would fall into the hands of the Iron Bank, they always thought that the thing should be in the hands of the Golden Company.

"A statue of the Father, from the Hand of the King, Oberyn Martell." Daenerys knew the meaning of this statue of the Father, representing an oath.

"A model of Dragonstone Castle, from Shireen Baratheon." She had seen the model. It was made by a craftsman at Storm's End with Shireen. For this gift, Shireen inlaid all the big gems that could be used in the treasury of Storm's End on it. It looked both childish and exaggerated. But in any case, this was the most impressive gift Shireen could think of.

"A Valyrian steel scimitar. From Arianne Martell of the Dorne Martell family, she represents Prince Doran Martell." Daenerys had seen the knife, with a dragon bone handle and a black blade with ripples on it. It was a gift from Princess Arianne to Prince Doran. It represented the will of the Martell family.

Daenerys knew that her and Viserys's heir would marry a Dorne princess. She had to make their heirs aware of this from an early age, and they would not be allowed to repent.

"What a rare weapon."

"This is the first time I've seen a Valyrian steel scimitar!"

"The King's Blade."

According to the procedure, this was the last gift, and there was a noisy sound in the castle.

Daenerys heard her brother's hearty voice: "I wonder what this knife is called?" Her brother's voice was not loud, but the main hall suddenly became quiet.

But Dany did not hear the answer.

Suddenly, a strange gurgling voice sounded, interrupting the questioning outside: "Dear guests, wait a moment, there is also my gift. For Princess Daenerys."

Daenerys heard someone scolding: "Who are you? How did you get in!"

There were faint exclamations and panicked running outside.

"A guest attending the wedding banquet," the strange gurgling voice sounded again, "Your Majesty Viserys, please let your bride receive my gift."

"What!"

"Rude!"

"Playing tricks, catch him!"

The guests shouted noisily.

Daenerys heard her brother's voice: "Guests who cannot show their true colors?"

Daenerys heard that this was an uninvited guest.

The strange gurgling voice sounded again: "You once asked me to protect your child with Daenerys, to give you or Dany a clear sign, and asked me not to speak in riddles. Your Majesty Viserys Targaryen, I think you know who I am."

Dany heard the surprised tone in her brother's voice: "Your appearance is not what I thought."

The gurgling voice said again: "Please let your bride come out and accept the gift I brought in person."

"."

Silence fell outside the main hall.

Not long after, Viserys's guard captain Godian came to the room and knocked on the door: "Your Highness, His Majesty invites you to come over."

Daenerys has realized who the strange voice is.

Three-Eyed Raven, Lord Bloodraven, Brynden Rivers.

But how is this possible?

Daenerys walked out of the inner passage of the main hall and found that the main hall was full of guests. Everyone in the hall was looking at a man wearing tattered clothes and hiding his whole body under the hood of the torn clothes and the pale fish beam wood mask.

The short man was surrounded by many guards in charge of security and stood in the center of the main hall, separated from all the guests by a space, as if confronting Viserys sitting on the high throne.

Viserys saw Daenerys coming, stepped down from the throne, stepped forward and held Daenerys' hand: "Don't be afraid, I'm by your side." As he said that, Viserys turned his head to look at the mysterious man in the center of the main hall, and his voice became louder, "How should we call you, sir?"

The strange man said: "I am just an uninvited guest who came to the wedding and gave you gifts. I don't need you to call me." His voice was not like that of a normal human, as if his throat was strangled by something. As he said that, he turned his head and 'looked' at Daenerys, "Oh, Princess Daenerys Targaryen, congratulations on becoming his queen. Please let me bless your wedding. I hope that the Targaryen bloodline can multiply and prosper under your union."

Daenerys realized that he was looking at her, but she didn't notice the existence of his eyes at all. Behind the fish beam wood mask seemed to be a void and emptiness.

Viserys walked over hand in hand with Daenerys. Some knights and guards wanted to approach the guards, but Viserys stopped them.

The nobles around were watching this scene in doubt.

The strange man appeared in the main hall without any invitation, as if he suddenly appeared from the guests. His movements were strange and weird, and his voice was not like a normal human.

Since he appeared in the main hall, an abnormal atmosphere that was out of common sense has been revealed, which makes people feel uneasy.

Viserys came closer: "Excuse me, what is your gift for Daenerys?"

"Oh, a gift," Daenerys noticed that his "eyes" always stayed on her. When she approached, she actually heard a hint of kindness in his strange voice, "Oh, Daenerys, you are here."

Daenerys and her brother stood side by side in front of the strange man. She held Viserys's hand tightly: "You asked for me, here I come."

"Let me offer it to you." The strange man lifted the hood on his head with his hands hidden in the tattered clothes and took off the mask.

Hiss~

Daenerys could clearly hear everyone in the main hall gasp at the same time.

Because as the strange figure in front of her made a move, people were horrified to find that there was nothing under the man's hood, and there was nothing in the mask.

But his voice was still coming out: "The ancestral sword of the Targaryen family, the Dark Sister. Daenerys, I give it to you, take it."

The Dark Sister!

This name caused a stir in the hearts of everyone present.

Everyone knew what this name meant.

The Dark Sister was one of the two ancestral swords of the Targaryen family, a very famous Valyrian steel longsword. In known history, this sword has only been used by one female, Visenya Targaryen, the wife of Aegon the Conqueror. This martial queen was the dragon rider of Vhagar, and she also founded the Kingsguard.

And the last person to own this sword was Brynden Rivers, the Duke of Bloodraven, who was said to have a thousand and one eyes.

This sword has been missing for nearly a hundred years!

Now, no one expected that it would reappear in this way here!

As the strange man finished his last sentence, the strange and weird voice stopped abruptly, and the tattered clothes seemed to lose support and fell like a piece of rag.

The rag did not fall directly to the ground, but left a bulge the size of a sword at the place where the man stood before.

For a moment, there was no time to panic, and the main hall was silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by the bulge covered by the rag.

Dark Sisters!

Daenerys and Viserys looked at each other, and saw surprise and a hint of doubt on each other's faces, but Viserys recovered faster than her, and with a solemn expression, he pulled her hand that was tightly clasped together and reached out to the rag.

Although they both stretched out their hands, Viserys did not let Daenerys's hand actually touch the rag. It seemed that the two of them lifted it together, but it was actually a move made by Viserys alone.

And as the rag was lifted by Viserys.

A slender sword wrapped in pale fish beam wood, as if it was stuck in place, was revealed in full view.

The entire main hall held its breath at this moment.

The hilt of the sword was a cluster of golden flames, and there were flame patterns wrapped in gold on the hilt. The connection with the sword body was decorated with two huge rubies wrapped in gold, like scarlet eyes, shining slightly in the morning light. There were black ripples on the blade, revealing its sharp edge.

And under the tip of the sword, a fish beam wood mask lay there quietly, motionless.
