Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon

"A blackened dragon bone pendant costs nineteen gold coins, eight silver coins, and fourteen copper coins of Pentos. What do you think?" Illyrio summoned the butler and the maid Ani, who were the only ones with a clear mind.

"Too expensive." Ani answered first, "It sounds like some kind of secret language."

Illyrio looked at her, but the maid lowered her eyes and shut her mouth, so he looked at the butler.

The butler lowered his head and thought, and finally said bluntly: "Master, I don't know."

This is a price that is obviously a secret language. Illyrio and his three servants racked their brains but couldn't figure it out. Their brainstorming did not last long. Compared with deciphering the riddle thrown by Viserys, it is more important to confirm that Viserys and his sister have indeed communicated with external forces.

Governor Illyrio confirmed once again that Viserys had not gone out in the past twenty days: "In the past twenty days, they have never left the courtyard, nor have they said they would leave the courtyard?" Although the information was biased, Viserys was so patient that Illyrio could hardly believe that he had settled quietly in this small courtyard for more than twenty days.

The steward answered again affirmatively: "Yes."

This time, Illyrio also asked outside the courtyard: "Outside, are there any abnormalities or spying?"

This courtyard area is where the dignitaries of Pentos live. In theory, there is no way to spy on other places except the streets, but if there are any big shots holding banquets nearby, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of people.

"No, the courtyard area has been relatively quiet in the past twenty days." The steward replied.

Illyrio gave a cautious order: "Send two more people outside to pay attention to the situation in the streets. If there is anything unusual or strangers are acting mysteriously, notify me immediately."

After coming out of the pavilion by the sea, Dany's heart could no longer calm down. She wanted to ask countless times, but she didn't speak. Viserys must have had his reasons for choosing this way to talk to her.

She thought of the greed that flashed across the fat face of Illyrio, the owner of the courtyard, when she first met him, the chattering of the maid Ani and her overt and covert advances, and the incomprehensible exchanges between Viserys and Illyrio. The most incomprehensible thing was the change that had taken place in Viserys - he seemed to have become a different person, no longer easily angry, and full of confidence in everything.

The sense of conviction that her brother had for no reason even made Dany often secretly wonder where it came from.

Now the mysterious veil seemed to have been unveiled to her.

Dany's heart was pounding.

They continued to walk along the cobblestone path of Illyrio's courtyard. Viserys was in front, and Dany followed silently behind him.

As time passed, Dany suddenly had a different thought in her mind.

At one point, she was uneasy about Viserys' increasingly perfunctory attitude towards her after his change, but now when he seemed to express his true hope for her, Dany became worried. She was unprepared for Viserys' hope.

Just pretend I didn't hear it. She suddenly thought. His voice was so soft and the sound of the waves was so loud. When he asks, I will pretend I didn't hear it.

[Wait, isn't it just asking me to remember some unusual feelings and dreams? What's there to worry about? ]

She gradually found that she was overthinking. Viserys was just asking her to do a small thing. Although he acted seriously, as if the situation was serious, think about his exaggerated expression these days. What's there to worry about such a small thing?

[But what feelings are unusual? What dreams are unusual? I can't say it. Will he beat me or scold me? ]

She suddenly thought of the past. When Viserys was angry, his face was full of ferocity. He dug his fingernails into her skin viciously and said to her, "You have awakened the wrath of the sleeping dragon."

Some bad memories came to her mind, and Dany couldn't help but slow down her pace following her brother.

"What's wrong?" Dany saw Viserys turn around, with a smile on his face, and a strange color flashed in his purple eyes.

But when she saw Viserys's face, she was not afraid for some reason.

"It's okay." She answered Viserys.

"If you are tired, go back and rest." Viserys smiled at her.

"Not tired." She answered.

【We are family. 】Dany told herself.

Viserys was her only relative, and she didn't want to be beaten or scolded, nor did she want to be despised and perfunctory.

Dany thought so, and saw Viserys nodded at her, without saying anything more, turned around and continued to walk forward.

Dany's heart gradually calmed down, and suddenly, she realized something.

【Viserys needs her help. 】

Viserys had always been on guard against Illyrio and everyone in the courtyard, so he whispered to her in the sound of the waves, and that was what he really wanted to express.

When thinking about it this way, Dany found that she had always known that the slave flower farmers wearing collars in the garden, the guards with swords at the front gate, the dogs in the kennel at the back door, Illyrio who spoke sweet words, the housekeeper who always worked seriously, and even the enthusiastic maid Ani were all the objects that the brothers and sisters needed to guard against.

After understanding this, many of Viserys's exaggerated behaviors were explained. After Dany figured it out, she suddenly found that all the random emotions disappeared. She was surprised. Why did she only realize all this now?

Dany looked up at Viserys's back and suddenly felt that her brother's back was a little lonely. She suddenly had courage in her heart and stepped forward, a little closer to him.

She wanted to fight side by side with him.

Of course, Viserys didn't know what Daenerys was thinking. The reason why he gave Daenerys a hint at this moment was naturally because the matter of dragon bones seemed to have been settled. He would inevitably have some contact with Daenerys next, so he made preparations in advance to prepare her mentally.

And it happened that he found something suspected to be a dragon soul in one of the hairpins of dragon bone ornaments given by Illyrio. Viserys planned to do some small tests on Daenerys, and was worried that she would become uncontrollable after contacting the suspected dragon soul object like last time, so he made a close hint in words.

When Dany's mood changed just now, he thought that the dragon soul had triggered something in Daenerys again, but she returned to normal very quickly, which made Viserys a little disappointed.

He suspected that the amount of dragon soul contained in this dragon bone hairpin might be unimaginably low.

Just as the two brothers and sisters were walking silently along the garden path with different thoughts, as they passed a rockery in the garden, they happened to see the owner of the courtyard sitting on the rest bench in front of them.

It seems that this trip to the seven countries has made the Governor-General anxious.
