Chapter 166: Gifting Dragon Eggs to Daenerys Stormborn!
They were given a clean place to rest until the ceremony demanded their presence at dusk.
Kai barely spoke a word after entering the venue, and Meg seemed to have noticed the absence of expressions on his face, their hands still together, and their fingers still entwined in each other. This was a dangerous place, and any moment of relief and lapse would cost them their life.
It would have been foolish to think that they were the only Contestants here.
For now, they must act as if they were some unmentioned storyline Characters — A lord and his lady. And, yes. A young, sly steward.
The moment we present those Dragon eggs, Meg had discussed with him and Petyr one night, all Contestants will get to know that something's wrong. Now, as your main mission is about Daenerys herself, then we can concretely assume that she doesn't have any top-floor Contestant protecting her, and by extension, there wouldn't be any Protector for Drogo or any main storyline Character worth protecting in the wedding those who are related to her.
So our enemies will be hundreds of 3rd-floor Contestants and dozens of 4th-floor ones. But like us, they wouldn't get to use their powers in the open as well. We must use the clamor after Drogo and Daenerys departure to teleport out of this world.
The plan seemed flawless at one glance, but there were tiny loopholes that would only emerge while putting it into action, Kai knew. Still, no reason to discard the plan itself. There was no plan completely perfect in this world, he had learned in his previous life. The entire game was about marginal errors and allowances, and how impressively one would improvise once they would show themselves.
The rest of the afternoon burned away as Kai gawked at the vista of pure carnage going on under the raised earthen ramp.
Women were dancing, and then a warrior lunged at one of them, having her then and there like a beast. Then another warrior came into the circle, claiming the same woman for himself. A jape, a shove, an alien curse, and soon, their arakhs were out; long razor-sharp blades, half sword and half scythe, a weapon that Kai found quite fascinating to behold.
