This was the advantage of having a living history book like Shiera. Her way of speaking, which seemed almost designed to spark curiosity, had completely piqued everyone's interest.

2024-10-11 15:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe Golden Fields, nestled between the Lhorulu and Rhoyne Rivers, were once a fertile land on the brink of harvest. But the arrival of tens of thousands of Dothraki horsemen shattered that peace. Riding their warhorses, they trampled the crops and turned the Golden Fields into a staging ground for their invasion. To keep thei...
2024-10-10 15:04:00 +0000 UTC View PostViserys had already gained the upper hand in the debate over whether to send troops to war with the Dothraki. After all, the thousands of people in the harbor could see the looming threat for themselves. Now, Drogo had come to them. He claimed it was for a tournament, but in reality, they needed to prevent the Horselord from ...
2024-10-10 15:03:01 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Cohollo entered the Throne Hall, his reaction mirrored Jhaqo's initial awe. The sight of the three-headed dragon banners hanging from the walls, alongside the various statues of gods, was far more impressive than any hall he had ever seen. Cohollo's eyes were drawn to two bronze horses rearing among the statues, almost l...
2024-10-10 15:02:01 +0000 UTC View PostCompared to the last time Jhaqo was received, the number of attendees in the Throne Hall had more than doubled—from fewer than fifty to over a hundred. The Unsullied guards patrolled every corner of the palace with precision, like well-oiled cogs in a machine, ensuring absolute security within its walls.
Anyone who ha...
2024-10-10 15:01:03 +0000 UTC View PostAt this moment, in a secondary hall not far from the Throne Hall, a gathering of what could be called Viserys inner circle was taking place.
Among those present were Connington and his son, Feles and his sister, Hoyt, Dick, Meris, and Spider Webber, who led the Tyrosh branch of the Windriders as Viserys' deputy. C...
2024-10-09 15:04:01 +0000 UTC View PostHalf a month ago, Tyrosh's harbor was transformed into a scene of both horror and triumph. Thirty towering pyramids made of human heads lined both sides of the main road, each nearly three meters high. Merchants and pedestrians passing by were initially terrified, but when they learned that these gruesome displays were made f...
2024-10-09 15:03:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe meeting was over.
For Drogo, the loss of 3,000 men was neither insignificant nor catastrophic. It was a loss he could tolerate, but one that required an explanation to maintain the loyalty of his followers. As the one directly responsible for the defeat, Jhaqo no longer had a place among the living. After conf...
2024-10-09 15:02:01 +0000 UTC View PostAbandoned his khalasar.
Jhaqo, once Drogo’s Ko, had been a warrior of unmatched strength, second only to Drogo himself. But now, he was stripped of the status and power needed to stand among the Khals as an equal. He had lost not only his warriors but also his 'quasi-Bloodriders,' who were now crippled and useless. Fa...
2024-10-09 15:01:01 +0000 UTC View Post"My lord—no, I mean, Prince," Jhaqo stammered, his voice trembling as he tried to mimic the respectful tone of a merchant. But fear gripped him tightly. Above, the dark clouds parted, and the moon emerged behind Viserys, casting a shadow over Jhaqo that felt as heavy as a mountain.
Bang.
Jhaqo's cheeks twitched ...
2024-10-08 15:04:01 +0000 UTC View PostViserys had demonstrated his dragonbone bow to Caggo just ten minutes ago. Nine arrows seemed to meld with the night, and with a sharp, piercing sound, it struck down the necks of a Dothraki warrior one after another. Effortless.
Caggo, who had always prided himself on his skill with bow and horse, felt as though he had...
2024-10-08 15:03:01 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Jhaqo finally arrived at his camp, the sky had already turned as black as velvet. He had chosen a slope for his camp, strategically positioning it to provide shelter from the wind. The surrounding area was flat, and during the day, the guards at the top of the slope would have an unobstructed view, turning the slope into...
2024-10-08 15:02:01 +0000 UTC View PostAt this point, Jhaqo was in so much pain that he could not speak. He could only cover his nose and glare at Viserys with murderous intent.
Blood flowed from his fingers, forming several crimson lines down his arm until it dripped from his elbow. His upper and lower lips opened and closed like a gasping fish, and he bare...
2024-10-08 15:01:01 +0000 UTC View Post"Prince, are we going to war with the Dothraki?" Regis asked, though all eyes were fixed on Viserys.
Viserys surveyed the room, noting the faces full of expectation. Even without detailed explanations, the military merit system he had established was enough to stir the ambitions of many who saw war as a path to fortune....
2024-10-07 15:04:01 +0000 UTC View PostAfter receiving Viserys' summons, Tyrosh's upper echelons gathered at the Archon's palace.
Among them were the Windblown's sergeants, the bureaucrats and officers Viserys had promoted from the ranks of former slaves, and Tyrosh's old nobility. They were already aware of Jhaqo's visit to Tyrosh some time ago, and though ...
2024-10-07 15:03:01 +0000 UTC View Post"Prince, shall we see the official first, or the Dothraki?"
Viserys paused in thought before responding, "Of course, we should see our own people first. Send him to the side room."
"Yes, Prince."
After Viserys left, Young Connington turned to his father and asked, "Father, do you think the Prince will order ...
2024-10-07 15:02:01 +0000 UTC View PostViserys wasn’t concerned. In the original story, when Daenerys married the Horselord, all Robert did was shout that someone should be sent to assassinate him. Now, with Viserys stirring the pot in King’s Landing, starting a war wouldn’t be an easy task for Robert. Especially considering the state of his treasury—so em...
2024-10-07 15:01:02 +0000 UTC View Post"I'll give you this armor for free," Viserys said nonchalantly.
Alios, who had braced himself for a steep price, was stunned by Viserys' generosity. He had never expected such a valuable gift—this was Valyrian steel armor, far more precious than a Valyrian steel sword.
However, as one of the three Triarchs, Alio...
2024-10-06 15:04:00 +0000 UTC View Post"Does that mean my sister is Azor Ahai?" Viserys asked.
"At the very least, she was born in the land of smoke and salt, and she is a pure Targaryen, so I believe so," Benerro replied.
His explanation made Viserys uneasy. Based on everything he knew, the suspected saviors from the original prophecies included Daene...
2024-10-06 15:03:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe rapid rise of Viserys over the past two years had taken the three Triarchs by surprise. Who would have thought that a bloodthirsty mercenary could ascend to the status of a regional overlord in such a short time? When Viserys beheaded the pirates, they assumed it was the pinnacle of his achievements. Little did they know ...
2024-10-06 15:02:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe Red Comet was undeniably a global phenomenon. The crimson star that streaked across the skies of the world, passing through lands of ice and fire, captivated the attention of all. From the Red Waste north of Qarth to Slaver's Bay, it traveled through the ruins of Valyria, over the southern Free Cities, and finally, even a...

As soon as the Kraken emerged, more than ten dragon-shooting crossbows were trained on it. The nearly two-meter-long bolts whistled through the air, embedding themselves into the creatu...
2024-10-05 15:04:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe Kraken, over twenty meters long and weighing several tons, was a creature far beyond the capabilities of any ordinary person. Though Viserys's constitution was no longer ordinary, the sheer size and mass of the Kraken made the disparity between them enormous.
The Kraken, under Euron's control, dragged Viserys toward...
2024-10-05 15:03:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe Red Comet faded from sight, leaving behind soldiers struggling to stay afloat amid the wreckage of shattered ships.
An Unsullied soldier clung to a piece of driftwood, trying to haul himself onto it when he felt something tug him down. A sharp pain shot through his leg as he was pulled beneath the waves, a trail of ...
2024-10-05 15:02:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe appearance of the Red Comet momentarily quelled the fighting on the battlefield. But the pause was brief. At the captain’s command, Viserys’s warships resumed their encirclement of Euron’s Silence. However, something felt different—Viserys and Euron both sensed it.
The Red Comet stirred something wi...
2024-10-05 15:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe night had fully fallen, cloaking the sea in darkness. Viserys estimated that the Silence was just over 20 meters away from his flagship. Scanning the deck, he spotted a bundle of ropes. With a quick calculation, he guessed they were about 13 or 14 meters long. There was no time to hesitate—he couldn’t le...

The sailors, who had been lost in the horn’s enchantment, suddenly snapped back to reality. Even the man who had just jumped into the sea struggled to swim back to the ship.
Euron looked up, shock and anger flashing in his eyes. He...
2024-10-04 15:03:01 +0000 UTC View PostNormally, a fleet commander would use signal flags to issue orders to the other ships. However, Viserys's fleet was spread so far apart that the only reliable way to communicate was by using the messenger ravens he had brought along. The twenty ships formed a loose chain or a wide net as they pressed toward Valyria.
