In the distant Andalos, outside the city, within the royal forest.
This area was once designated by Viserys as a restricted zone, where no hunters from nearby villages or passing merchants could enter this vast forest.
The reason for the King's prohibition was well known to the local villagers. Everyone could tell you.
Because this was where the Targaryen family raised their dragons.
This was hardly a secret.
The locals living nearby often heard deafening dragon roars from deep within the forest at night, and frequently saw the silhouettes of dragons circling in the sky above the forest during the day.
Even this had become a unique local sight.
The existence of the Targaryen dragon-keeping area attracted spies from all over the world to come and investigate.
However, their outcomes were mostly unfavorable.
If they weren't captured by the patrol and thrown into jail, they went in and never came out, becoming a small snack for the dragons.
But recently, these spies' enthusiasm for the royal forest had waned somewhat, because all the dragons living here had left, following their masters to Pentos.
And now, Viserys, with two girls, riding three dragons, had returned to the royal forest.
At this moment, they were at the core of this boundless forest, the deepest part. This was a vast flat land, a square kilometer in size, enough for three dragons to stretch their bodies.
And unusually, there were signs of human construction. Here, dragon lairs were built, the ground was flat, and there was a quiet small lake.
Three dragons had left for a long time, but their might still lingered, and no animals dared to approach, perhaps because the dragons' scent remained here.
At this moment, Balerion and Viserion were resting not far away, while the lively Rhaegal had flown away to hunt.
And beside Viserys and the two girls, a bonfire was lit, and five dragon eggs of different colors but the same size were neatly arranged beside him.
"Brother, do you want to hatch the dragon eggs?"
The girl with silver hair had her beautiful cheeks illuminated by the firelight, and her light purple eyes were shining. She looked at the neatly arranged five dragon eggs, then took the initiative to speak.
"Let me do it."
Daenerys had haphazardly hatched three dragon eggs in her sleep once and had wanted to try again ever since, but unfortunately, there were no dragon eggs for her to experiment with.
However, when Viserys heard his sister's words, his eyebrows raised slightly.
"No need."
His true dragon bloodline was now purer than Daenerys's, and hatching dragon eggs was a piece of cake for him.
"Do you not want your hair and eyebrows that have finally grown back?"
Then Viserys couldn't help but tease. Little Dany had her hair and eyebrows burned off at that time, and she only had a bald head. When Viserys saw her, she was wearing a hat and veil and didn't want to see anyone.
Reminded of the past, Rhaenys on the side couldn't help but chuckle, then was glared at by Daenerys.
"Hmph—"
The girl pouted a bit aggrievedly.
But on the other side, after Rhaenys couldn't help but laugh, her smile slowly faded, and she sighed softly in the end.
Daenerys could hatch dragons, Viserys could too, but she couldn't.
Actually, sometimes she had the same thoughts as Aegon, that is, she felt a sudden sense of alienation.
Although they were all family and had the same surname, Viserys and Daenerys both had very distinct family traits, silver hair, violet eyes, only she...
She had brown hair and dark eyes, inheriting her mother's family traits.
Sometimes Rhaenys would secretly complain to herself why she didn't look like a 'Targaryen'?
But when she thought of the tragedy that happened in King's Landing when she was still ignorant, she couldn't complain about anything.
But fortunately, Viserys was quite considerate and could always detect when the girl was self-pitying, and then quietly extended a helping hand to pull her out of the whirlpool of thoughts.
He didn't use words but actual results, the trust shown, to tell her that we are a family.
Then Viserys put all five dragon eggs into the blazing fire, and the five prepared death row prisoners were also thrown in, emitting a horrible scream.
"Turn your heads."
Viserys said calmly, but Rhaenys shook her head.
"It's okay, I've personally burned so many people."
Rhaenys had personally ridden a dragon to burn the Dothraki, and she had seen a real big scene.
The girl grew up very quickly, from being pale and almost vomiting at that time, to now just looking a little bad, but still able to handle it calmly.
And Daenerys, who was originally reluctant, had already closed her eyes, but after hearing Rhaenys's words, she clenched her fists lightly, secretly cheering herself on.
Then she opened her eyes, forcing herself to watch the death row prisoners being burned to death in the sea of fire.
Daenerys may seem weak, but she is actually very strong-willed.
She didn't want to be weaker than Rhaenys.
When Rhaenys was able to go to the battlefield, she didn't know how envious she was. She also hoped that she could grow up quickly and become a useful person.
The choices of the two girls surprised him a bit. The death row prisoners screamed horribly in the sea of fire, and even Viserys had a moment of pity.
However, these five death row prisoners were all notorious robbers extracted from the Andalos prison. Thinking of their past deeds, Viserys became heartless.
His face didn't change, he calmly watched as the five death row prisoners turned into vengeful flame spirits.
Born from fire, life exchanged, the last remaining condition was the true dragon bloodline.
With a swoosh, Viserys drew the Valyrian steel dagger from his waist.
Since reaching the transcendent realm, Viserys's own defense had greatly increased. He hadn't been injured for a long time, and it wasn't easy for ordinary blades to hurt him.
Viserys held the Valyrian steel dagger and lightly cut a wound on his finger. Blood instantly welled up.
Then he smeared the fresh blood from his hand onto the dragon eggs one by one. The blood was quickly absorbed by the eggshell. This absorption of true dragon blood was even more efficient than being roasted in the fire.
Viserys was now also immune to fire. His fingers freely moved through the flames. What made him stronger than Daenerys was that he didn't even burn the hair on his hands. Being enveloped by the flames felt as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring.
Not far away, as if sensing something, Balerion and Viserion, who were resting on the ground, simultaneously raised their heads and looked over.
Crack—
The next second, the sound of the eggshell cracking was clearly audible.
