005

Viserys stepped out of the room into the hallway.

The hallway was lit with the moonlight coming through the windows; although it wasn't too bright, it was enough for Viserys.

'The dragon eggs will either be in his office or his bedroom,' Viserys mused, 'the eggs are too important to keep anywhere else.'

Viserys walked silently; he was barefoot, so he didn't make a noise.

'Illyrio's room and office are on the opposite side of the mansion,' he thought to himself as he neared the entrance to the mansion.

But just as he was about to cross to the other side.

"Aahhn!~" A moan echoed from one of the rooms, and Viserys quickly hid behind a wall.

He stayed still for a while and the moans continued, 'must be the slaves and the maids…' he muttered to himself.

"Ahhn!~"

He slowly walked past the room and entered the other side of the mansion.

'This side has fewer rooms,' he identified. The rooms on the other side of the mansion had fewer rooms, and the distance between each room was longer.

'Each room is bigger… But that's not the point. How do I know which room is his bedroom or his office..?'

Viserys was now in a dilemma; he could not just go around and check each of the rooms as there was a chance that he might get caught.

YAWN

Just as he was about to continue walking, he heard a yawn coming from in front of him.

Viserys's eyes widened as his heart thumped against his chest; he immediately hid behind a pillar and stopped breathing.

TAP

TAP

It was a soldier, a mercenary, walking down the hallway. He had bags under his eyes as he yawned continuously.

"Are those guys at it again?" the man mumbled to himself as he walked toward the moans coming from the otherside.

Although it was far away, they could still hear the faint sounds of moaning.

The soldier stopped yawning halfway and grinned as he muttered, "Maybe I can join them."

His pace increased as the soldier strode to the room.

Viserys stayed still until the man entered the room; 'that was unexpected…' he mused.

He waited for another few moments before he continued. 'How should I know which room is which?'

He was walking in front of a room as he mused, 'Should I wait until tomorrow? Maybe I should ask for a meeting with him and try to locate his office?'

Viserys was having second thoughts when he halted in his steps. He was now in front of a door.

'What's that smell?' he questioned himself as he sniffed the air.

SNIFF

'It smells like melted seal wax…' he mused, but then, suddenly, his eyes widened as he realized something.

He yanked his head low, at the base of the door, specifically the slit of a gap between the door and the ground, and sure enough, there was a faint candlelight coming from the room.

A small smile bloomed on his face as he muttered under his breath, 'Looks like I found it.'

He hid behind the pillar opposite the room and waited, 'That must be Illyrio writing to Varys, maybe messaging about my arrival…'

Of course, he could be wrong, but Viserys didn't think so; 'the timing was too perfect for it. Anyway, if this room is his office, then he will leave in an hour or two.'

He thought as he looked at the faint source of light slipping off from the gaps in the door, 'but if it's his bedroom, well, then it might get a little tricky.'

Viserys then began to wait; he kept his breaths to a minimum while taking long, slow breaths, and an hour later, the light was snuffed out.

Viserys watched the door intently, hoping for it to open and Illyrio to walk out if it.

But ten minutes passed, and Illyrio didn't come out.

'It must be his bedroom,' Viserys mumbled to himself as he clenched his jaw, feeling a little frustrated.

He waited for another hour before he took another step.

He trudged toward the door on his toes; his senses were in overdrive, picking up every sound, every scent.

Placing his hand on the door, the prince of Westeros pushed it slightly.

CREAK

The door creaked and Viserys stopped as he cringed. 'Have to do it more slowly,' he talked to himself as he pushed the door even slower.

He opened the door just enough for him to slip in. He kept the door open as he walked inside.

'It is indeed a bedroom…' Viserys mumbled as he looked around.

The room was big, almost double the size of the room given to Viserys and Dany.

There was a balcony straight ahead of him with a table set up in the middle. The moonlight entered through the balcony and directly fell on the big bed tucked into the side.

On top of it was a fat man, dressed sparsely as he snored to sleep.

SIGH

Viserys sighed in relief as he muttered, 'Good thing that it's his room; otherwise, I would have to stay for another night.'

He slowly walked in, his eyes darting all over the room, searching for the dragon eggs.

'From the series, he kept them in a small black chest,' Viserys thought to himself as he started to look around the room for the chest.

He walked over to the bed, his purple eyes glowing in the dark as he stared at the fat man.

'Should I kill him?' A dangerous thought took root in his mind.

But then he shook his head and mumbled, "Killing him would be disadvantageous. He is a magistrate; killing him would put all of Pentos to chase me."

He stared at the man one last time before he turned around, walking toward the shelves that were carved into the wall.

Viserys searched everywhere; of course, he didn't open the drawers as Illyrio could wake up to the sound, 'but where could they be?'

He turned around, facing the bed. 'Are they in his office? Or are they in his treasury room? Does he have a treasury room?'

Viserys was now frustrated as he didn't find the eggs; 'Dany is going to get anxious…'

He clenched his fist as his face contorted with annoyance. His eyes darted around the room frantically as he searched for the eggs.

But his efforts were in vain; he couldn't locate the eggs. 'Maybe I should wait until tomorrow, locate his office, and sneak in at night…'

SIGH

Viserys sighed in defeat; he was about to walk out of the room when a silly idea came to mind.

He shook his head as he thought, 'No, he wouldn't… right? They're too important to be kept there!'

He took a step toward the door but halted, narrowing his eyes, 'there is no harm in checking down there…'

Viserys immediately turned around; he walked toward the bed in big strides but made sure not to make a sound.

Once he reached the bed, he glared at Illyrio while he muttered, "You'd better pray that they're not under there."

He then immediately ducked under the bed, his eyes glaring into the pitch darkness.

But then, his eyes widened, his anger flared, and he gritted his teeth. His breath quickened as his chest heaved up and down in rage.

'If I were alone, I would have killed you, you fucking pig!' he cursed inwardly.

Under the bed, in the pitch darkness, Viserys could see it. The dark chest was about two feet wide.

Viserys controlled his anger and slowly extended his arms. 'I am pretty sure this is it,' he thought to himself as he pulled the chest toward him.

Viserys stood as he took the chest from under the bed. He controlled his breath so as not to make a sound and walked toward the door, only halting a few feet away from it.

'Better confirm it before I leave,' he mumbled as he put the chest down while kneeling beside it and opened it.

But when Viserys saw the contents, his eyes widened, and his heart almost leaped out of surprise.

Inside the chest were dragon eggs, yes. But there weren't three, 'Why are there four dragon eggs inside?!'

Viserys's breath hitched as his mind raced to think of the possibilities: 'Did he keep the last dragon eggs for himself in the show? Or did he not have the extra egg in the show but does in real life!?'

Viserys was confused, but he was happy nonetheless, 'More dragons, the better,' he muttered to himself as he thought, 'better get out of here quick!'

He then carefully closed the chest and slipped outside. "Better keep the door open; I don't want to hear the creaking sound again."

From there, Viserys walked back to his room in big strides but also made sure he was silent.

The room where the maid was moaning now had two other grunts coming from it.

Viserys frowned in disgust but kept walking. He reached his room in a few moments and opened the door.

Inside, Dany was anxiously waiting for her brother. She kept walking to and fro while fiddling with her fingers in worry.

But her eyes flickered anxiously when the door to her room opened. She waited in heated breath as Viserys walked inside while holding a dark-colored chest in his hands.

"Brother!" Dany exclaimed as she ran up to him. She was about to ask if he had succeeded when Viserys said, "Dany, let's go!"
