Chapter 25 - The Queen and the Exiled Princesses (I)
"I lived in exile for thirteen years, but instead of succumbing to the hardships and dangers of the situation, I changed my mindset and stopped being a weak queen and became the queen my daughters needed." Queen Mother, Rhaella I Targaryen.
-----------------
Continent of Essos - In the Free City of Braavos.
Ser Willem Darry walked through the crowd with a cloak covering his appearance, his hand on the hilt of his sword, his eyes scanning his surroundings for followers or enemies with surprising ease. Don't blame him for being so paranoid, but having just been attacked by assassins, anyone would be the same way.
Finally realizing that he wasn't being followed, he entered an alleyway and soon saw a discreet house that was hard to see unless you looked closely.
Willem knocked on the door with a specific knock, almost as if he was speaking a secret code to whoever was on the other side of the door.
The next second, the door opened and a woman in her thirties appeared in front of the Master-at-Arms of the Red Keep.
Willem didn't hesitate and without waiting for the woman's words, he entered the house and the door was closed at the same moment.
Suddenly, the woman's face changed slightly as she smelled the strong scent of blood. "Are you hurt Ser?" The woman asked with a worried look on her face.
"Some assassins attacked me in the harbor, but I'm unharmed. But we must leave Braavos, Your Grace." Willem said, leaning back in his chair and letting out a tired, exhausted sigh.
It wasn't just the assassins who had attacked him, a week ago the men he claimed to be loyal to betrayed him and almost caused the death of Princess Daenerys.
