Chapter 19 The Siege of Storm's End

In Dragonstone Island.

One old and one young are talking.

The old bachelor relieved Viserys of his inner anxiety, and told him that no matter what the future encounters, whether happy or sad, he must keep his heart pure, and only after he calms down can he make the most correct judgment.

time flies.

In an instant, more than two months had passed since Viserys came to Dragonstone.

The life on the island is very peaceful and peaceful, there is no war, no power struggle, and the comfort wants people to give up their struggles, just want to spend the rest of their lives here in a peaceful way.

However, although Viserys' inner anxiety was gone, the sense of urgency remained.

Because he knew very well that the Baratheon family on the other side of the sea would not let them go like this.

During this time Viserys was learning swordsmanship with Sir William, while at the same time improving his knowledge in front of the old maester.

Through the earnest teaching of the old maester, Viserys also gradually deepened his understanding of the world.

He used to look at the world from a foggy perspective, but after all, he was still separated by a layer, but now he has gradually integrated into it.

The old bachelor told him that the most important thing for a noble to learn is not how to manage his own territory, develop the economy or agriculture.

Because these can be consulted with the maesters in the castle or by writing to the Citadel.

The old bachelor just asked him to learn the family history of various nobles, remember the lessons of history, and remember their family emblems and language...

So that when you see it in the future, you won't be rude because you can't recognize it.

This is the most important thing for the nobles, even the king.

Viserys felt a little dizzy hearing these words, he didn't understand why, but his small arm couldn't twist his thigh.

Her mother, Queen Layla, is now also personally supervising Viserys reading, because for her all hope and sustenance are on the young son.

Viserys was burdened with a lot of expectations and was under a lot of pressure.

After three months, Queen Layla, who was pregnant before leaving King's Landing, gradually began to have an outline of her lower abdomen.

Away from war and panic in the past few months, Queen Layla can also raise her baby without worrying about her husband's abuse and the loss of the war every day.

Now what Queen Layla hopes most is that the child in her belly will be a girl.

Since she was raising only Rhaegar and Viserys in addition to her dead child, Queen Layla hoped to have a daughter to fill her gaps.

Life on Dragonstone was peaceful, and the last Targaryen fleet stood guard above the sea, blocking the exit of Blackwater Bay.

And the Baratheon family has no warships now, so naturally they have slowed down.

And in Westeros.

Without the sea as a hindrance, the rebels who invaded King's Landing have transformed themselves into orthodox, all the situation has turned sharply, and the army of the royalists has been defeated.

Two months after King's Landing was broken, Duke Tyrell of the Reach finally reached a settlement with the usurpers.

The Siege of Storm's End has been lifted.

beep--

With the desolate and long sound of the horn, the southern army that had been besieging Storm's End for a year finally pulled up its camp and prepared to retreat home.

And after Tyrell's army were knights from the north.

rumbling—

The flag of the direwolf fluttered, and it appeared first on the horizon, followed by a roar, and at a glance, it was full of dense figures.

Countless war horses galloped and smashed the grass, and the spears held high like a forest, reflecting the chill in the sun.

The leader of the army in the north was Duke Eddard Stark, who had a quarrel with Robert, and then left from King's Landing. The man's back was carrying the family's magical soldier "Frost" and sat on the tall warhorse.

The Northerners broke the siege of Storm's End without a single battle and without a single battle.

rumbling—

The door of Storm's End, which had been blocked for a year, finally reopened.

Stannis Baratheon, who was trapped in Storm's End and had been stubbornly resisting, contained the main force of the southern army, and was even forced to eat mouse meat.

However, after the siege of Storm's End was broken, he received a new task.

His brother Robert ordered him to build warships at Storm's End to train the Royal Navy.

Cooperate with Earl Redwyn, who had just surrendered, and the Qingting Island fleet that had been blocking Storm's End from the sea before.

Ask them to join forces to attack Dragonstone and bring back both Layla and Viserys Targaryen who escaped.

Robert, who deeply hated the Targaryen family, vowed to eradicate them. He did not want any silver-haired and purple-eyed guy to continue to survive in this world, and he must hunt them down to the ends of the earth.

However, Stannis, who was trapped in Storm's End and was even forced to catch mice to eat, was not a magnanimous person. He was reticent and stubborn, like a stone in the toilet.

He didn't draw his sword and kill that fat damn Mace Tyrell and Lord Redwyn at the banquet celebrating the victory of the Battle of Storm's End.

It is impossible for Stannis to cooperate with the Qingting Island fleet, but he also understands the importance of capturing Dragonstone and eradicating the Targaryens.

Therefore, the stubborn man like a stubborn stone did not waste a day. After the siege of Storm's End was disbanded, the material and resources were continuously transported in, and he began to build the Baratheon family's fleet and train the navy.

However, Duke Eddard, who had untied the siege of Storm's End, did not have any smile on his face. His cheeks were tight and serious, and he seemed to be a thousand miles away. Even at the victory dinner, he did not show a smile.

Because he still has a more important knot to unravel, that is the beginning of the Usurper War, his sister who was kidnapped by Rhaegar Targaryen is also Robert's fiancée, Lyanna. Stark's whereabouts are still unknown.

After a quarrel between King's Landing and Robert, Eddard leads the south alone to end the rest of the war, while he is on the trail of his sister.

Now that the war is over, Eddard has also received clues that Rhaegar had arranged for the 'Dawn Excalibur' Ser Arthur Dayne, Ser Oswell Hahn, and Ser Gero Hightower, Captain of the Kingsguard, to escort Rai. Ana went in the direction of Dorne.

However, the Dorne side rejected the news of Lyanna Stark coming to Dorne, for them Lyanna was not a popular person.

Eddard suspects that the three Kingsguards may be hiding in the border of Dorne and the Reach with their sister.

However, Eddard didn't want to go to war with the powerful Dorne, after all, Aegon the Conqueror had encountered trouble in this place.

The Duke of Winterfell was worried about this.
