Chapter 4 Swordsmanship

Subsequently.

Under the escort of the soldiers, two carriages without the family logo passed through King's Landing. Instead of taking the more magnificent steel gate, they chose to make a circle and left King's Landing in a low-key manner from the Dragon Gate.

A group of convoys set foot on Rosby Road and headed straight for Duskdale City. Sir William decided to take a boat from Duskdale to Dragonstone Island.

At the same time, a large ship is also pulling anchor and sailing from the port of King's Landing as an option for confusion.

The middle-aged coach has his own considerations. He knows that King's Landing and even the Red Fort have long been riddled with holes, and secret agents have been installed.

All the news is still discussed among the ministers in the throne room in the morning, and can be circulated in the filthiest flea nests in the afternoon.

His Majesty Aerys's move to assign the guards of the Red Keep is not small. If the news of the transfer of the queen and the prince can be concealed, it would be a hell.

So Sir William made a delusional option after much deliberation.

Taking a boat from King's Landing to Dragonstone is undoubtedly the best way, even if the storms at sea have been a bit dense recently.

It is also a road to take a boat from Dusk Valley City to Dragonstone Island by land.

But now that Westeros is torn apart, rebels are everywhere, and there may be no place in the outside world that is truly safe after leaving King's Landing.

His decision to go overland was actually taking some risks.

"The seven gods are above."

The head of the Red Fort's rough fingers touched the center of the eyebrows and kneaded it lightly. They believed that the center of the eyebrows was the abode of the soul, so the sincere prayers would be heard by the gods.

"hope everything is fine."

Time flies.

a day later.

Yesterday, after half a day's journey and then a night's rest, the team passed through Rosby City, continued to walk on the avenue of the king's collar, and headed straight to the port of Dusk Valley City.

It was the domain of the Ryker family, and the loyal Earl Rivley guarded the unimportant port of Duskdale for His Majesty the King.

Although the middle-aged coach thinks that Count Riveley may not be reliable, but now that the tide has passed and a wave of defections has not yet made a decision, he is already loyal to the king.

The weather today is a little gloomy.

The curtain of the carriage was opened a little, and the light outside was a little dim.

The light rain hit the roof of the car, and the road became muddy.

Viserys sat in the carriage and looked out the window. The trees on both sides of the road were shrouded in a hazy rain curtain.

"I always have a bad feeling about it."

"Sir William."

The silver-haired boy was sitting on the seat, his eyes shifted from the outside scenery to the man directly opposite, while Renese was sitting obediently beside him holding the cat.

At this moment, the smart little girl also understands that this is not a trip, otherwise the grandmother would not take the risk to travel in such weather.

Also in the carriage, Sir William Darry, who was sitting directly opposite Viserys, looked out the window and was silent for a moment. At this moment, he had already put on his armor and wore a long sword and a short spear on his waist.

There was bad news, but he didn't know if he should tell His Royal Highness the prince.

The big ship that set off from King's Landing with them was attacked by a group of unknown pirates before it left Blackwater Bay.

Now that I think about it, something unexpected has happened.

This morning, the soldiers from King's Landing rushed to bring the news, and he was a little chilled.

Although he had long known that the interior of the Red Fort was riddled with holes and leaks, and that this trip would inevitably be seen by the rebels, he did not expect the rebels to move so quickly.

And as far as he knew, the coalition forces formed in the north, valleys, rivers, and storms did not have an advantage in ships, and there were few sampans that could be launched, otherwise the Storm's End Fortress would be blocked by the Qingting Island fleet. It will not be solved until now.

However, fortunately, he was cautious and did not choose the waterway that everyone thought was safe. Instead, he chose to hide the queen and prince in the carriage, which was airtight, and left King's Landing in a low-key manner.

Now the enemy must have known that Queen Layla and Viserys did not travel by water.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the soldiers are ready to fight."

Sir William sat in the carriage, pressing the hilt of his sword with one hand and said solemnly.

"However, you still need to go faster."

Viserys didn't know the bad news at sea, nor what Sir William was thinking, but he nodded anyway.

Compared to the soldiers outside, he was more than satisfied to sit in a carriage covered with soft fur.

"I understand."

soon.

Another day at sunset.

After a long day's trek, coupled with today's bad weather, the light rain fell all day long, and the muddy road made everyone tired.

And at this time, the house leaked every night rain.

The carriage that Queen Layla was riding in suddenly broke off because it hit a stone.

The horse let out a painful whimper and was almost pulled over, but Sir William and a few soldiers grabbed it in time, untied the bridle for it, and let it rest for a while.

Queen Layla and her two maids got out of the carriage with some embarrassment, but luckily the light rain that had been raining all day stopped a little at this time.

However, due to a sudden change, the team's progress can only be temporarily stopped.

However, it just happened to be a time for everyone to rest. Sir William had repeatedly ordered expedited travel before, and the rest time was shortened by half. The physical strength of the soldiers and horses was a little overwhelmed.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as the order for temporary repairs came down.

And Viserys also jumped out of the carriage, and took the initiative to give up the intact carriage to his mother who fell and was a little embarrassed.

And he also came down to exercise his muscles and bones.

Although riding in a carriage is a little more comfortable than others, there are also some that can't be overwhelmed at the end of the day.

And in this era, the roads are not so smooth, and the carriage does not have excellent suspension.

Then he saw the middle-aged coach standing in front of the abandoned carriage, leaning on the hilt of his sword with one hand.

The silver-haired boy hesitated for a moment, then walked up quickly.

"Sir William."

Viserys said politely.

"Can I ask you about swordsmanship?"

And William Derry, who was bowing his head in silence, did not expect that His Royal Highness the Prince would suddenly say such a thing.

Slightly stunned for a while.

"How could your Highness have such an idea?"

This can't help but remind the middle-aged coach of the past ten years ago. The teenager who was obsessed with reading and harp suddenly found him one day and told him, 'Give me a long sword and armor, it seems that I must become a warrior. ’

And he turned out to be one of the most skilled knights in Westeros. He was Viserys' brother, Rhaegar Targaryen.

"I'm seven years old, and I'm old enough for knight training."

However, the silver-haired boy raised his head and did not directly answer the teacher's question.

"And I will always use it in the future."

"Is not it?"
