Pentos chapter 34

The ship is slowly approaching the port of Pentos. This city is huge, several times larger than little Lorath and perhaps larger than Braavos. This free city lies between Braavos to the north and Volantis to the south. Located east of King's Landing, just across the Narrow Sea, it is a place surrounded by fertile coastal plains, known as the Plains.

The basis of the wealth of this great free city came mainly from the trade and marketing of cheese, often despised as "cheesemongers."

In Pentos, wealth is synonymous with power and is ruled by a prince and a council of mages. Ultimately, princes only have ceremonial functions, like what happens in Lorath, but here, princes are chosen from the forty richest families in the city and mainly preside over balls and festivals .

William looked at this glorious trading city and its buildings, which looked like ancient Greek structures with a mixture of architecture typical of the desert region of Essos, similar like ancient Persian structures. The beauty and splendor of this place is impossible to miss.

Some ships are arriving, while countless others are leaving. Trade was vibrant and strong.

"What are you planning to do here? You haven't told me yet." Emily, who was standing next to William, asked him. They were almost at Pentos, and he had not yet spoken of his motives; it bothers her.

"My uncle told me to come here," William replied vaguely. He can't say he's here because he wants to meet another woman, right?

Emily looked at him for a second and then spoke again.

"You're worried. Do you want anything here?" Emily asked again.

William shifted a little uncomfortably; He actually came here for many reasons, but one of the most important was to meet one of his "idols"; he, like many other Game of Thrones fans, is a lover of the Mother of Dragons.

"Well, it's my uncle's mission, but I really want to see something here." William began to explain everything when the ship docked. He tried to speak in a way that lessened the impression that they were there, especially to see another woman.

"They are the Targaryens; my uncle asked me to 'make contact' with them and I really look forward to meeting them." William looked at Emily and started smiling to cover up his mistake.

"The ancient lords of Westeros... It makes sense that the Hand of the King would want to know more about them, but wouldn't it be easier to kill them?" Emily looked at William with some understanding, and things began to make more sense.

" Me too must say I have plans for Miss Targaryen. » William decided to lighten his mood a little and spoke in a provocative way to Emily.

She looked at him and asked: "And me with that?

Then she turned her eyes away, trying to avoid eye contact with him – a way of ignoring him.

William stepped closer and tried to touch her shoulder, but she avoided it. A jealous woman can sometimes is a very sweet thing. Sometimes...

William started laughing.

"I want to know more about her blood," William said, concealing part of the truth and trying to make Emily stop being jealous.

She looked at him suspiciously.

"I have seven dragon eggs... Yes, I believe they are all in good condition. Maybe there's a way to incubate them."

William tried to explain in more detail.

Upon hearing this new information, Emilly put her hand over her mouth and covered it.

"Her voice was muffled d'Emilly let out along with his voice." hands, eyes showing surprise at this information.

"Are you serious?" Emily started getting excited. William was already very powerful and the Lycans had a lot of potential. What if he could control dragons?

He can create a kingdom as powerful as Valyria!

Perhaps he can even surpass what the Kingdom of Valyria has achieved!

William hugged her shoulders tightly.

"It's a secret. I told you because I trust you, but don't bring it up again," William said in his voice.

"But this is still just a test; There's a lot of work to do first," William tried to explain.

It's a bit unfair to Emily because William knows how loyal every Lycan is to her; he knew very well that she would not betray him and his actions would only make her trust more fervently. But it was natural for people to keep some information to themselves, but he knew she had a secret she wanted to tell him, and that made him want to pressure her into revealing it, but he didn't. control myself.

Curiosity is very strong, but he will control himself!

"Of course, I can be trusted; I will never betray you." Emily spoke somewhat emotionally as William shared another secret with her; she clung tightly to her hairpin and thought she should tell him her secret, but it was still too early. It was a family secret, not just hers, and she couldn't break the trust of those close to her.

This made her miserable.

"They are with a rich merchant; I must get closer to him and then find a way to reach the Targaryen." William began to explain his future actions in detail.

Talk to Emily, they send some Lycans as bodyguards to gather the necessary information.

It should be known that the only information William had until now was that they were in Pentos with a wealthy merchant.

Not even the name of the merchant is mentioned, and the city is very large and densely populated; It's not easy to find out where anything is.

While all the guards were sent to search for information about the Targaryens, William and Emily began looking for an inn to stay the night.

They could find a small villa and settle down, but it wouldn't be worth it; They didn't plan to stay here for more than a few days.

They must find the Targaryens as quickly as possible and then persuade Miss Targaryen to come with them.

William convinces Emilly that they have to find a way to capture a girl named Daenerys because her brother Viserys is crazy and hanging out with crazy people isn't very good, right?

Emilly had told them to kill Viserys and kidnap Daenerys, but William objected to this first plan; it's too risky and can create potential problems.

Maybe Dany hates them forever; If they chose to do this he would be very sad; this cannot happen; At the very least, it would be a disaster.

So, initially, the plan was: after finding the Targaryens, find a way to forge a relationship with the nobles who sheltered them, then go into hiding to get closer to the Targaryens.

William and Emily had finally chosen a good boarding house that was almost as expensive as some of the houses in Lorath; it was a wonderful place, and they were going to enjoy this temporary period until they tackled this task as if it were a vacation.

The next morning one of their guards arrived and brought with him the information he desired.

They discovered the merchant's information and where he lived; all that remained was for William to find a way to get closer.

The merchant's name is Illyrio Mopatis; To make matters more difficult, he was a merchant prince and magician of Pentos, a man of high status.

William should use his wealth to get closer; everything will become even more useless, otherwise he will not be able to get closer to his goal.
