Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon.

Chapter 23 Hint
"A blackened dragon bone pendant, which costs nineteen gold coins, eight silver coins, and fourteen copper coins of Pentos. What do you think?" At this moment, only the butler and the maid Ani were smart enough in Illyrio's place, so he summoned them.

"It's too expensive." Ani answered first, "It sounds like some kind of secret code."

Illyrio looked at her, but the maid had dropped her eyes and kept silent, so he looked at the butler.

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

This price was obviously a secret code, and Illyrio and his servant racked their brains but could not figure it out. Their brainstorming did not last long. Compared with deciphering the riddle thrown by Viserys, it was more important to confirm that Viserys and his sister had indeed communicated with external forces.

Governor Illyrio once again confirmed that Viserys had not gone out in the past twenty days: "In these twenty days, they have never left the courtyard, nor did they say they were going to leave the courtyard?" Although the intelligence was somewhat biased, Viserys was so patient that Illyrio found it hard to believe that he had quietly settled in this small courtyard for more than twenty days.

The butler answered again affirmatively: "Yes."

This time, Illyrio also inquired outside the courtyard: "Outside, is there anything unusual or spying?"

This courtyard area is where the dignitaries of Pentos live. Normally, apart from the streets, there is no way to see other places. However, if there is a big shot holding a banquet nearby, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of people.

"No, the hospital has been relatively quiet in the past twenty days or so," the housekeeper replied.

Illyrio gave a cautious order: "Send two more people outside to keep an eye on the streets. If there is anything unusual or strange people moving suspiciously, 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 questions, but she didn't open her mouth. Viserys must have had his considerations for choosing this way to talk to her.

She thought of the greed that flashed across the fat face of Illyrio, the master of the courtyard, when she first met him, the chattering of the maid Ani and her overt and covert advances, and the verbal exchanges between Viserys and Illyrio that she could not understand. What she could not get rid of the most was the change that had taken place in Viserys - he seemed like a different person, no longer easily angered, and full of confidence in everything.

Dany often wondered where her brother's unconditional belief came from.

Now the mysterious veil seemed to be unveiled to her.

Dany's heart was pounding.

They continued walking along the cobblestone path that led to Illyrio's yard, Viserys in front and Dany following in silence, step by step.

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

She had been troubled by Viserys's increasingly perfunctory attitude towards her after his change, but now when he seemed to express his true expectations of her, Dany became worried. She was unprepared for Viserys's expectations.

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 just pretend I didn't hear it.

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

She gradually realized that she had been overthinking it. Viserys had only asked her to do a small thing, and although he acted very serious, as if the situation was serious, when she thought about his exaggerated expression these days, what was there to worry about with such a small thing?

[But what feeling is unusual? What dream is unusual? I can’t tell. Will he beat me or scold me?]

She suddenly thought of the past. When Viserys was angry, his face was ferocious, and he dug his fingernails into her skin viciously, saying 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 as she followed her brother.

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

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

"It's all right," she answered to Viserys.

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

"Not tired," she replied.

【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 or treated lightly.

Dany thought so and saw Viserys nodded at her. Without saying anything more, he turned around and continued walking forward.

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

【Viserys needs her help.】

Viserys had been wary of Illyrio and everyone in the courtyard, so he whispered to her over the sound of the waves, and that was what he really wanted to say.

As she thought about it, Dany realized that she had always known that the slave florists 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 people that they and her brothers and sisters needed to be on guard against.

After realizing this, many of Viserys' exaggerated behaviors were explained. After Dany figured it out, she suddenly found that all her chaotic 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 looked lonely. Courage suddenly arose in her heart, and she took a step forward, getting a little closer to him.

She wanted to fight alongside him.

Of course, Viserys had no idea what Daenerys was thinking. The reason why he gave Daenerys a hint at this moment was naturally because the matter of the dragon bones seemed to have been settled, and he would inevitably have some contact with Daenerys next, so he laid the groundwork in advance to let her be mentally prepared.

And it so happened that he found something that looked like a dragon soul in one of the hairpins of the dragon bone ornaments given by Illyrio. Viserys planned to do a small test on Daenerys, but was worried that her emotions would become uncontrollable after touching the object that looked like a dragon soul, just like last time, so he made intimate hints in words.

When Dany's mood changed just now, he thought it was the dragon soul that triggered something in Daenerys again, but she returned to normal so 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 siblings were walking silently along the garden path with different thoughts in their minds, 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.
