Pentos

The ship was slowly approaching the port of Pentos, this city was huge, many times bigger than little Lorath and perhaps bigger than Braavos, this free city is located between Braavos which was in the north and Volantis in the south, being east of King's Landing directly through the Narrow Sea, it is a place surrounded by fertile coastal plains which are known as Flatlands.

The basis of this great free city's wealth comes mainly from trading and cheese marketing, often treated disparagingly as 'cheese sellers'.

In Pentos, wealth equals power, and is governed by a prince and a council of Magisteres. The prince ends up having only a ceremonial function, something like what happens in Lorath, but here the princes are chosen among the forty richest families in the city and preside mainly over dances and parties.

William looked at this glorious merchant city, its buildings that resembled ancient Greek structures with some mixture of the typical architecture of the desert region of Essos, which was similar to the ancient Persian structures, the beauty, and splendor of this place was impossible to miss.

Several ships were arriving, while countless others were leaving, the trade was alive and robust.

"What do you intend to do by coming here? You haven't told me yet. "Emilly who stood next to William questioned him, they were almost at Pentos, and he still hadn't talked about his motives, it was bothering her.

"My uncle asked me to come here," William replied vaguely, he couldn't say he was here because he wanted to see another woman, could he?

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

"You're anxious. Is there something here you want? Emilly asks again.

William moves a little uncomfortable, he was really here for several reasons, but one of the strongest was knowing an 'idol' of his, he was just like many other Game of Thrones fans, one of those who loved the Mother of Dragons.

"Well, it's my uncle's mission, but I really want to see something that's here." William began to explain things as the ship approached the harbor, he tried to speak in a way that would lessen the impression that they were there especially to see another woman.

"It's the Targaryen, my uncle asked me to 'get in touch' with them, and I'm really looking forward to meeting Da...them." William looks at Emilly and starts smiling to cover his slip.

"The ancient lords of Westeros... it makes sense that the Hand of the King wants to know about them, but wouldn't it be easier just to have them killed? "Emilly looks at William with a little understanding, things started to make more sense.

"I must also say I have some plans for Miss Targaryen." William decides to spice up her mood a little and talks in a way that provokes Emilly.

She looks at him and poses as "What about me with that?

Then she turns her eyes the other way trying to avoid eye contact with him, a way of ignoring him.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

William approached her and tried to tap her shoulder, but she dodged.

A jealous woman can be a very sweet thing sometimes. Sometimes...

William starts to laugh.

"I want to know more about her blood," William spoke masking part of the truth and trying to make Emilly lose her jealousy.

She looks at him with a dubious look.

"I have seven dragon's eggs... Well, I believe they're all in good condition. Maybe there's a way to make them hatch. "

William tried to explain the details better.

When she heard this new information, Emilly took her hand to her mouth and covered it.

"Emilly's muffled voice came out of her hands, her eyes showing amazement at the information.

"Are you serious?" Emilly began to get excited, William was already so powerful and the Lycans already possessed so much potential, what would happen if he could control Dragons?

He could create a kingdom as powerful as Valyria was!

Perhaps he could even go beyond what Valyria's kingdom had accomplished!

William held her shoulders firmly.

"It's a secret. I told you because I trust you, but don't talk about it anymore," William spoke in a voice.

"But it's still just a test, there's a lot to do before," William tries to explain.

It was a little unfair to Emilly because William knew how loyal each Lycan was to him, he knew full well that she wouldn't betray him, and that her act would only make her more excited about trust, but it's natural for people to keep some information to themselves, but he knew she had some secret from him, and it made him want to pressure her into telling it, but he controlled himself.

Curiosity was strong... but he would control himself!

"Sure, I can be trusted, I'll never betray you," Emilly speaks somewhat moved by William's sharing yet another secret with her, she holds tightly to the bar of his dress and thinks she should tell his secret to him... but it was still too soon... it was a family secret, not just hers, she could not break the trust of her relatives.

It was tormenting her.

"They're with a rich merchant, I need to get close to him and then find a way to get to the Targaryen..." William began to explain the details of his future acts.

Talking to Emilly, they sent some of the Lycans who were following them as bodyguards to look for the necessary information.

It had to be known that the only information William possessed until now was that they were in Pentos at the home of a wealthy merchant.

Not even the merchant's name was spoken and the town was ridiculously large and populous, it was not so simple to find the location of anything.

With all the guards being sent to look for information about the Targaryen, William and Emilly started looking for an inn to spend the night.

They could find a small mansion and settle in, but it wasn't worth it, they didn't plan on staying more than a few days here.

As quickly as possible, they were to find the Targaryen and then convince Miss Targaryen to go with them.

William convinced Emilly that they needed to figure out a way to take the girl named Daenerys, because his brother Viserys was crazy and it wasn't very good to hang out with crazy people, was it?

Emilly had told them to kill Viserys and kidnap Daenerys, but William went against that first plan, it was too risky, and it could create hidden problems.

Maybe Dany hated them forever, if they chose to do that, it would be very sad for him, it couldn't happen, it would be disastrous at the very least.

Therefore, at first, the plans would be; after finding the Targaryen, find a way to create a relationship with the nobleman who was hosting them and then getaway to get close to the Targaryen.

William and Emilly eventually chose a good lodge that was almost as expensive as the price of a few houses in Lorath, it was a dazzling place, and they would enjoy this interim until they solved this mission as if it were a vacation period.

The next morning one of their guards arrived and brought the information he so wanted.

They discovered the trader's information and where he lived, now all it took was for William to find a way to get close.

The merchant's name was Illyrio Mopatis, to make things difficult, he is a merchant prince and Magister of Pentos, someone who was in a high hierarchy.

William would need to use his wealth to get closer, things would have to be more wasteful, and otherwise, he would not be able to get close to his goal.
