King Jaehaerys's gaze was sharp, as if he could see through every thought deep within Viserys's heart.
He naturally understood the deep affection Viserys held for his only daughter, and he was aware of his reluctance to marry his daughter Rhaenyra to Rayder.
However, the King did not directly expose Viserys's thoughts. Instead, he spoke in a majestic and firm tone:
"My time is running out, and the throne will eventually be yours to inherit.
Therefore, your daughter Rhaenyra must marry Rayder.
If you cannot control Rayder, then simply eliminate him.
But remember, do not act rashly without absolute certainty."
Although Viserys's heart was filled with conflict and pain over this decision, he knew that the King's command was inviolable.
His daughter Rhaenyra was the treasure of his life, and now she had to be sacrificed for political gain, which caused him immense heartache.
However, as the heir to the throne, he understood the responsibility and mission he bore and had to obey the King's decree.
Viserys took a deep breath, trying to calm his complex emotions, then slowly replied:
"I will have Rhaenyra go to The Great Wall for support, giving her a chance to proactively interact with Rayder."
King Jaehaerys was clearly very satisfied with this answer. He nodded slightly, indicating approval. Then, he said earnestly:
"Once the invasion of the Others is dealt with, you will formally ascend the Iron Throne.
At the same time, the training of Dragonriders must not be neglected; we need more powerful Dragonriders to protect our kingdom."
Viserys slowly nodded, looking at King Jaehaerys with a firm gaze, and solemnly said:
"I will do my best to tame Silverwing, making it one of our powerful forces against the Others in the North."
King Jaehaerys gazed at Viserys, earnestly cautioning him:
"The Others are not so easy to deal with. The journey to the North is full of unknowns and dangers; you must be careful."
Viserys took the King's words to heart, knowing the importance and difficulty of this mission. He took a deep breath and replied:
"I understand, Your Majesty. I will be extra careful and not fail your expectations."
King Jaehaerys nodded slightly, indicating satisfaction, then continued:
"Without further delay, go and make arrangements. The Others could return at any time, and the pressure at The Great Wall must be considerable."
Viserys quickly nodded in response: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will go now." With that, he turned and quickly left the room, already contemplating his next plan.
Viserys hurried to the Dragonpit.
Along the way, his thoughts raced, and various possible scenarios constantly flashed through his mind.
He was not worried about being unable to tame Silverwing, as he had some confidence in his abilities.
However, what truly concerned him was how to communicate with his daughter, Rhaenyra.
This political marriage was necessary for Viserys, but he knew that Rhaenyra might be resistant to it.
He pondered deeply, trying to find a suitable way to persuade her to accept the arrangement.
Finally, he thought of his daughter's personality and felt that only with his wife Aemma's help could he succeed.
Finally, Viserys arrived at the Dragonpit. It was a huge, dark cave entrance, looking somewhat eerie and chilling.
Two Dragon Guard, holding torches, stood on either side of the entrance, guiding him.
Upon entering the Dragonpit, a strong smell of sulfur assailed him, making it somewhat difficult to breathe.
The ground was uneven, making walking quite inconvenient.
Viserys carefully followed the Dragon Guard, step by step, towards where Silverwing was located.
When Viserys saw Silverwing, he was captivated by the sight before him.
Silverwing's enormous, dark silver body lay coiled on the ground like a mountain, its wings folded at its sides, and its long tail wrapped around its body.
Around it, three massive Dragon Eggs lay silently, as if awaiting the moment of hatching.
Silverwing seemed to sense that living beings were approaching. Its enormous Dragon Eyes slowly opened, revealing unfathomable pupils.
Those pupils, like two burning flames, instantly locked onto the approaching individuals.
Facing such a huge and majestic dragon, even the two battle-hardened Dragon Guard couldn't help but feel fear, not daring to step forward easily.
However, Viserys walked directly towards Silverwing without any fear.
His steps were steady and confident, as if he had some unspoken understanding with this giant dragon.
When he reached Silverwing, his hand naturally rested on its lowered snout.
His fingers gently patted Silverwing's chin, as if comforting a giant pet.
Surprisingly, Silverwing showed no resistance to Viserys's actions.
On the contrary, it seemed to find Viserys's caress very comfortable, even closing its eyes slightly, enjoying this moment of intimacy.
Viserys knew Silverwing's gentle nature, so he effortlessly established a connection with the giant dragon.
The Blood of the Dragon Kings of the Targaryen Family flowing within him allowed him to form a special resonance with the giant dragon.
Bloodfire Magic flowed between him and Silverwing, tightly connecting their spirits.
Through this mental connection, Viserys could clearly feel Silverwing's emotional changes.
He could feel Silverwing's trust and acceptance of him, and he could also feel its deep-seated gentleness and friendliness.
Silverwing's massive head gently rubbed against Viserys, seemingly expressing its closeness to its new Dragonrider.
Viserys smiled, responding to Silverwing's affection, his hand continuing to gently stroke Silverwing's snout, feeling the power contained beneath its hard scales.
As the last Dragonrider of Balerion the Black Dread, one of the three founding giant dragons, Viserys naturally knew the habits of giant dragons like the back of his hand.
He knew how to get along with giant dragons, how to win their trust and respect.
After all, in his understanding, giant dragons were by no means simple-minded, foolish creatures.
On the contrary, their intelligence was actually quite comparable to that of humans.
Therefore, if one wished to live in harmony with giant dragons, the most crucial point was to always maintain a calm demeanor.
After all, giant dragons could also understand and perceive various unusual gazes and expressions.
Viserys had not ridden a giant dragon for a long time, and now, looking at the Silverwing he had just tamed, a surge of eagerness to try again welled up in his heart.
