Chapter 129 Gift
"Mother, he is so small." The girl's hand gently touched the soft face. "Will he grow up? He will be as tall as his father."
The woman smiled softly, "Of course, he will be the greatest king and knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and the husband of little Rhaenys."
"Will I marry her?" the girl asked naively.
"His name is Aegon, the greatest dragon king from the Targaryen family, and you are Rhaenys."
"I know, mother. Aegon the Conqueror and his queen Rhaenys, and Visenya." The little girl waved her hands and then picked up a black cat, "Of course, there is also my Balerion."
The woman was amused and giggled, and there were a few light coughs along with the laughter.
Her face was delicate, and the outline of the Dornish could be seen.
Rhaenys hadn't seen her mother's smile for a long time, but her father was not here, and he always made her mother smile.
The sleeping little guy seemed to be awakened and cried loudly.
The mother quickly picked him up and coaxed him gently.
He is now a fool who only knows how to sleep and cry, Rhaenys thought. He has silver hair like his father, and she has the same hair as her mother.
"I don't want silver hair, Balerion." She said to the little black cat in her arms.
Rhaenys still remembered what the king grandfather said: "Take this Dornishman away, I don't want to see her."
"Humph, he is fierce, I will teach little Aegon to be gentle in the future, just like his father."
"Meow~"
"Do you think so too?" She scratched the cat's belly.
The little black cat rolled over, jumped down, and ran away.
"Wait for me, Balerion." The girl chased after it.
The little black cat led the girl around, jumping up and down.
Rhaenys was out of breath and stopped in front of a thick door frame.
It was dark below, and the cold air made her shrink her head.
"Balerion!" She shouted towards the cellar, and the answer was an echo, as if it came from the abyss of hell.
Rhaenys staggered back two steps, and she persuaded herself that she should go back, Balerion would come back on his own.
She turned around, but what if there were monsters below? Would they take Balerion away?
"Balerion!!" She shouted again.
"Meow~" This time there was finally a response.
"Can you hear me?"
"Meow~"
She slightly lifted the hem of her skirt between her legs, raised her foot and stepped onto a spiral staircase, holding the damp and cold wall with her hand, "Don't be afraid." I don't know if she was comforting herself or the little black cat.
The further she went down, the less she could see the road. She was cautious and could hear her heartbeat and the sound of water dripping.
It was so cold here. She stepped on the steps one by one with difficulty, calling "Balerion" from time to time.
The voice of the little black cat came from far and near.
Until she stepped on empty air and almost fell to the ground. The stairs had reached the end, but she thought there were more stairs.
Hula~
Suddenly, there was a hollow echo.
"Balerion, where are you?" Her voice was crying.
After walking a few steps, she found that she couldn't find the way back, and Balerion's voice was gone.
Her fingers brushed the uneven wall, and a drop of water fell on her clothes, which startled Rhaenys to jump away and run away.
Her legs were tripped by something, and she fell to the ground with a plop.
"Wuwuwu~" Tears fell on her face, and fear filled her heart.
"Someone save me." She sobbed and shouted.
But the only answer she got was the whirring sound of the wind passing through the cave.
I don't know how long she cried, she curled up her knees, hugged them tightly to her chest, curled up into a ball, and leaned against the wall.
It was so cold, she trembled.
"Mother," she murmured, and then called out "Father."
But no one appeared. It seemed as if there were monsters swimming in the darkness, and their roars rose and fell.
She closed her eyes tightly and kept calling out for her mother in her heart.
Am I going to die? Will the monster eat her and Balerion together? Will my mother cry? Will my father avenge me? And little Aegon, I can't marry him and be his queen.
"Meow~" Suddenly a voice rang in her ears.
Rhaenys opened her eyes happily, and saw a pair of green eyes. She screamed in fear.
Just hear the pair of green eyes "meow".
"Is it you? Balerion."
A warm and furry body jumped into her arms. It was her Balerion.
"Where have you been, little rascal?" Her tone was still a little sobbing, but Balerion's appearance seemed to dispel a lot of fear.
The little black cat nudged its head in her arms, then broke free and jumped down.
"Don't leave me alone, please." She wanted to take it back.
The little black cat stopped in front of her and slowly led the way for her.
Rhaenys didn't know where it was going, but she followed closely.
Suddenly, a ray of light came, which made her almost unable to open her eyes.
They actually walked to a cliff, and the light came from here.
There was a hole in the wall, connecting the castle to a cave, but the hole was not big. Balerion went in, and Rhaenys followed him in.
The wind was howling, and outside was a towering cliff, and a large cave opened up on the cliff, and the sound of the waves below could be heard.
"Meow~" Balerion's voice came.
Her eyes finally accepted the sunlight and saw Balerion digging something.
Rhaenys came over, "What are you digging, Balerion?"
It was still digging until a black stone was revealed.
"What is this?"
When the whole picture of the stone was taken into her eyes, although Balerion only dug half of it.
"An egg?" A black egg with rich patterns, shining with metallic luster under the light, Rhaenys touched it gently, and it seemed to be covered with fine scales.
"He is so beautiful, Balerion." She also reached out to dig. "This is a dragon egg." Her tone was joyful.
"Meow~"
"He can hatch very big dragons. I have seen their bones in the hall. Your name is the biggest dragon." She rubbed the black cat's head, "I will give him to little Aegon as a gift, Balerion."
"Your Highness Rhaenys!"
"Your Highness Princess!!"
Suddenly, shouts came from the cellar.
Someone came to rescue her. Rhaenys ran to the cave entrance happily to respond to them.
The little black cat was frightened and ran away.
"Finally found you, Your Highness Princess." A woman picked her up. "Your Highness Princess is so anxious."
"Balerion, gift, our gift" she shouted to the figure of the black cat.
