[Chapter 73: Two Birds with One Stone]

Inside the carriage, Illyrio was going on and on, pouring out his grievances over young Aegon’s situation.

He considered Viserys and his mother to be shameless and greedy.

After all, Aegon was Rhaegar’s son—a trueborn Targaryen. What was Viserys in comparison? Did he even deserve to wear Aegon’s crown?

Under normal circumstances, he should be content just being granted a princely title.

Meanwhile, Oberyn was...

[Chapter 73– Dawn’s Decision]

“Ha! Dawn Richter! You really surprised me!”

Perhaps because it was the Imperius Curse rather than his true body, the fallen Voldemort could still barely speak.

Leaning against the doorframe, he spotted the toad on the ground and suddenly burst into a maniacal laugh, his expression growing even more twisted.

“The second one, the second one! Haha! Such a lucky child... But don’t you dare think this is over! Next time we...

[Chapter 72: Layers of Deception]

Illyrio's question was a calculated one—he was testing whether Viserys was aware of Redbeard’s involvement.

Oberyn shrugged.

“Our Targaryen king has Andal blood in his veins as well. Perhaps that’s why he’s opted for a gentler method of conquest toward the remaining Andals.

Sigh… if young Aegon were king instead, perhaps he’d treat the Rhoynar better.

But as things stand, Viserys has already begun making pr...

“In Dumbledore’s hands,” Dawn shrugged. “If you want it, go get it from him.”

That answer darkened Tom’s expression even further.

But he stayed calm, surprisingly rational. He raised his wand and traced a skull in midair—its mouth open, a serpent slithering out.

“Child, you’ve angered me greatly. And yet, I’m still willing to offer you a chance to live…

“Become one of my Death Eaters, as repaym...

[Chapter 71: The Fox’s Share]

Pentos had only one Prince—but forty Governors. Nearly all the wealth and property in Pentos was under their control.

The war between Braavos and Pentos years ago had supposedly started over Pentos's use of slaves.

Of course, that was merely a pretext on Braavos’s part.

The real reason was a land dispute over the Andal Plains.

After all, if Braavos truly saw itself as a liberator of slaves, then instead of going after ...

[Chapter 71: The Encounter]

Halloween offered no holidays—classes were scheduled to resume the following day.

However, after the incident last night, all classes had been canceled. The young witches and wizards from the four houses were ordered to remain in their dormitories.

Dawn had returned to the Ravenclaw dormitory after breakfast in the Great Hall and was now alone, reading a book.

Yes, completely alone.

Which wasn’t all that surprising.

[Chapter 70: The Magic of the Rhoynar]

“The truth is, those two thousand farmers were actually elite archers. My real force wasn’t three thousand—it was five.”

Viserys knew the truth would be discovered eventually. Better to reveal it himself.

“I once read in a Targaryen ancestor’s journal: ‘Deception is not illegal in war.’ So I made those arrangements back on Dragonstone.”

Corren responded with a look of impressed understanding, “‘Decep...

Viserys imprisoned all the leaders of the bandits together. That included anyone related to them by blood or entangled in their interests.

These were the people who had rampaged unchecked along the Little Rhoyne River, oppressing the locals and committing countless crimes.

Viserys decided to use their heads to win over the hearts of the people in Gohor.

He planned to gather the oppressed Andal villagers in the area in a few days and...

The school infirmary was quite lively.

Word had spread that Harry had been attacked, and after having their wands checked, several young Gryffindor students came running out of the dormitory.

"I knew it, I knew it… That Richter dared to do something like this! He really is a full-blown Dark wizard!" Ron leaned against the bedside, fuming with righteous anger.

Worried that Madam Pomfrey might come over and scold ...

[Chapter 68: The Smell of Blood]

In this battle where the two sides had nearly equal numbers, Viserys's forces achieved a remarkably favorable casualty ratio.

First was the Cat’s Company—their commander had been captured alive.

Out of more than two thousand mercenaries, one-fifth died in combat. Half of the remainder were wounded, and the rest were taken prisoner.

This effectively meant that the Cat’s Company had been erased from the map of Essos.

Snape returned quickly.

However…

When he pushed open the office door again, only a trembling Quirrell followed behind him.

“Old Avery just arrived. He’s in the infirmary now,” Snape explained. “He said his son was hit by the Imperius Curse and needs rest. He’ll bring him personally tomorrow morning.”

Dumbledore heard this and patted his forehead. “Oh, that was an oversight on my part!”

[Chapter 67: “I’m Just a Farmer!”]

In truth, only about seventy percent of the farmers had actually received the essence transfer.

But fortunately, their numbers were large enough.

The visual impact of two thousand arrows fired at once was far greater than that of three hundred.

In just the first volley, over a hundred mercenaries from Redbeard’s company were slowed down drastically due to injuries, with several dozen falling dead on the spot.

But then—

Dawn quickly pushed that thought out of his mind.

Adding names to his list of suspects without reason would only lead to confusion and wasted energy. No matter what, the only real lead he had right now was Voldemort.

But then the question returned.

Why would Voldemort commit the attack using his face? There wasn’t even any meaningful contact between them.

Then Dawn remembered the day he burned...

[Chapter 66: Your Majesty]

Within the Sea King's Palace in Braavos, there was a freshwater lake.

It glimmered like a jewel embedded in the lavish court.

A boat floated across the emerald waters, adorned with a dense array of smiling face masks.

It was Freygo’s boat.

“Your Majesty, the Targaryen army has begun moving south along the Upper Rhoyne River,” reported Quairo, Freygo’s personal guard and secretary.

“Do you think Viserys will win ...

“So, you’re saying Potter was attacked?”

Walking behind Dumbledore, Dawn raised an eyebrow in genuine surprise as he heard the news.

It wasn’t the troll attack—it was a slashing assault… The original plot had completely fallen apart!

But why?

Had he done something so different that it triggered such a serious butterfly effect?

Dumbledore closed his eyes for a moment, hiding every trace of emotion beneath...

Oberyn showed little interest in Viserys’s cryptic posturing.

Inside the tent, only a few of Viserys’s personal guards remained—young men he had brought with him from the Claw Isle. They were now his personal protectors.

[Chapter 64: The Settler Legion]

Nearly a week had passed since Freygo arrived at the Palace of the Sea King, yet there was still no word of Viserys' army setting out.

Instead, what came was a messenger seeking aid.

“Your Majesty,” the man addressed respectfully, “a number of our soldiers have come down with fever and diarrhea. Lord Viserys sent me to request supplies—fresh grain, herbs... and, if possible, some healers to assist us.”

Freygo didn’t...

Just like tossing a stone into a lake—after the ripples fade, everything returns to calm.

The Quidditch match had ended.

Amid the cheers of the spectators, Cedric Diggory caught the Golden Snitch first, leading Hufflepuff to a significant victory.

From the performance, it seemed that the Ravenclaw team only had Cho Chang performing at her best. Perhaps they needed a "savior" to pull them out of their fourth-place position.

However, this match, which would typically remain the talk of the school for two or three days, lost...

[Chapter 63: The Road to Gohor]

On the yellow-green plains, a grey-black road stretched like a spear, piercing the horizon where the sky met the earth.

This road, known as the Valyrian Road, was constructed by the Valyrians. It rose slightly above the ground, enough to allow three carriages to pass side by side.

At one end of the road lay the port built by the Valyrians, now controlled by the Braavosi. At the other end, the road connected to the Upper Rhoyne River, ...

Hogwarts Headmaster's Office.

The spacious room now seemed somewhat cramped.

Hagrid, towering and hunched, nervously fiddled with his thick fingers, "Albus, Rubeus wasn’t doing it on purpose... you know, he's always been a good boy..."

"Yes, a good boy," Severus Snape interrupted, his arms crossed over his chest.

If five ships had been enough for Viserys to keep his movements hidden, fifty black-sailed warships were impossible to conceal.

Pentos, the city-state closest to Dragonstone, spotted the fleet shortly after it set sail.

Though the news of the Targaryens' eastward migration was already known, Pentos immediately raised its security levels.

At the same time, they sent out a ship to inquire about the fleet's destination—more specifically, ...

Hogwarts was vast on every floor.

Dawn walked slowly, glancing around at every turn.

From time to time, he paused to rub his eyes. The magical circuits embedded throughout the castle flickered in complex patterns, and staring at them for too long was rather uncomfortable.

Even so—

It wasn’t all for nothing.

At that moment, he stood inside an abandoned classroom, staring up at a picture frame mounted on th...

[Chapter 61: Departure]

The official reason Viserys gave for appointing Ock Velwater—this “new noble”—instead of one of his trusted Kingsguard, was his concern for Rhaella’s safety.

No one questioned the decision further after that.

When Ock heard the news, he was stunned. He hadn’t expected Viserys to choose him.

But once the surprise wore off, he was too excited to sleep. This meant new honors, new accomplishments.

Even so, the other Kingsg...

[Chapter 60: The Hidden Door]

Closing the final page of the parchment, Dawn didn’t feel too disappointed by the lack of useful information. It was just a diary, after all—there was only so much one could expect.

He leaned back in the soft chair, eyes fixed on the flickering candle in the center of the table, his tongue slowly pressing the mandrake leaf against the roof of his mouth.

There was hesitation in his eyes—but soon, that hesitation was replaced by res...

Gorys Brun was half a year shy of fifteen—one of the eldest among the children.

He longed to fight for Viserys, but unfortunately, his skill with the sword was not yet up to standard.

Arthur, while instructing them, would often repeat a particular phrase: “What will you do on the battlefield if every enemy is like me?”

Poor Gorys didn’t understand—how could a battlefield ever be filled with monsters like Ser Arth...

"Wa-Wait a moment!"

Not long after Dawn stepped into the castle, his mind full of questions, a voice suddenly called out from behind him.

Dawn turned his head.

At the castle gate, he saw a hesitant-looking Neville.

The chubby boy was dripping wet, his hair matted to his forehead. He wanted to come closer, but seeing the water soaking the hem of his clothes, he deliberately stopped at a distance.

"What is it?" Dawn...

[Chapter 59: Foundations of Power]

Viserys firmly believed that his current Kingsguard were beyond reproach—loyal, noble, brave, and supremely capable.

But there was one problem.

Their morality was simply too high.

Essos was not Westeros. Here, conflicts were fiercer, the cruelty more naked. Viserys’s arrival in Gohor would require thunder and steel, not mercy and grace.

And in that regard, Ock Velwater—raised from the lower rungs of society—fit ...
