246 Chapter 245: The Lesson from the Elder Brother  

Boom!

Dust billowed.

Balerion's massive body landed in the castle's training ground, his sharp claws digging into the soft earth, stirring up dust that drifted far away.

"Roar!"

Then, the black dragon stretched his long neck, raising his ferocious head and letting out a hoarse roar that echoed far into the darkness.

A dragon suddenly descended from the sky, but the guards and servants within the castle were not overly panicked. These people had been following the Targaryen family for many years, their loyalty was one thing, but they were also quite familiar with dragons.

However, Balerion's growth rate still amazed them. Almost every time they saw him after a period of absence, Balerion's size would have noticeably changed.

Balerion had been away with the king in Pentos for about three to four months now, and his body seemed to have grown even larger, creating a visually stunning effect.

Rhaenys, who was dressed in her nightgown and was just about to rest, also ran out of her bedroom and onto the castle's training ground.

She initially thought that Balerion's sudden return might bring some news of Viserys. However, to her surprise, it was Viserys himself who had ridden the dragon back.

"Viserys!"

The brown-haired girl was overjoyed to see the young man slowly climbing down from the dragon's back and jumping onto the ground.

Viserys dusted off the dust on his body after landing, and upon hearing the voice, he turned his head and saw the girl standing not far away, running towards him.

"Rhaenys."

Viserys smiled when he saw her.

He then opened his arms and picked up the girl who ran over, spinning her around in the air.

"Hey, Viserys, why did you suddenly come back?"

Rhaenys looked very happy. Viserys' sudden return after such a long absence was a pleasant surprise for her, and her cheeks were slightly flushed.

Viserys, holding the girl who was only wearing a nightgown, gently kissed her smooth forehead before letting go of Rhaenys.

In the current Targaryen family, the relationship between Viserys and Rhaenys, whether as uncle and niece or 'siblings', was the best.

No one could compare, even better than the relationship between Viserys and his sister Daenerys.

After all, when they were dependent on each other, Daenerys was still an infant.

It was Rhaenys, who was not yet grown up herself, who raised Daenerys.

"Just... a sudden whim."

Viserys looked at Rhaenys and couldn't help but smile, and Rhaenys was genuinely delighted.

Viserys then spoke with a smile.

"I was practicing riding the dragon, and then I wanted to see how far Balerion could fly in a day."

He had ridden Balerion and let him fly towards Andalos to see how far he could fly in a day.

However, he didn't expect Balerion's flying speed to be so fast. The mountains and rivers that used to take a long time to cross all appeared under his feet.

He set off from Pentos in the morning, and in a day's time, he flew from Pentos to Andalos.

Seeing Andalos close at hand, Viserys decided not to turn back. He let Balerion fly back in one breath, just in time to go home and sleep, and let Balerion rest for the night.

When Rhaenys heard what Viserys said, she realized that Vis

erys had ridden the dragon back, and her eyes widened in envy.

"That's great."

"Balerion is such a good boy."

Rhaenys had been harboring a lot of grievances lately.

Because her dragon, Rhaegal, was not very obedient, it seemed like a problem dragon.

In contrast, Daenerys' white dragon was very affectionate with its owner, even actively hunting some animals in the Kingswood for Daenerys.

Then it would roast them with dragon fire and present them to Daenerys, nudging her with its head, and then looking at Daenerys with a hopeful expression, hoping she would eat more and grow faster.

In the eyes of the white dragon Viserion, his mother Daenerys was too thin, which Viserion saw as a very unhealthy state, so he hoped she would eat more.

Viserion was like a warm-hearted man.

However, Rhaenys' green dragon Rhaegal was like a complete jerk, at least in the eyes of the brown-haired girl.

Rhaenys often secretly used her power to give Rhaegal extra meals, sending a few more cows and the like, but when it came to eating, Rhaegal was very close to Rhaenys, even allowing Rhaenys to lean against him.

However, once the meal was over, Rhaegal would immediately turn his face away, flapping his wings and flying away, leaving Rhaenys alone.

Hearing Rhaenys' complaints, Viserys smiled.

Rhaegal's temper was indeed a bit impetuous, he had noticed it when the three dragons were still small.

But when Balerion was around, Rhaegal would always restrain his temper, acting obedient in front of his elder brother.

However, this time Balerion had been away from Andalos with him for three to four months, and it seemed that Rhaegal had become a bit forgetful.

Dragons are highly intelligent, not inferior to human children, so if they are well nurtured, they will develop a strong dependence on the people who raise them and can be trained as war mounts.

They can even understand human language and determine friend or foe based on the will of the rider, so as not to accidentally hurt friends.

However, if they are not well trained, coupled with the dragon's far superior intelligence compared to other animals, they can become a lawless 'wild child'.

Rhaegal now seemed to be trending towards becoming a 'wild child', and it seemed that his elder brother needed to give him a physical lesson.

"Balerion."

Viserys turned his head and looked at Balerion.

While Rhaenys was complaining, Balerion was also lying on the ground, tilting his head to listen to their conversation. He could understand the language exchange between the two.

Feeling Viserys' gaze, Balerion immediately understood, raised his ferocious head, exhaled white mist, and let out a roar.

Balerion was asking Viserys for a high reward.

Viserys shook his head helplessly, then held up his finger and made a number.

Balerion was immediately satisfied, then let out another huge roar. His powerful legs suddenly pushed off the ground, and his huge wings flapped, taking him into the air.

The black dragon flew straight towards the Kingswood outside Andalos.

The castle could no longer accommodate three dragons, mainly because Balerion was too big.

The designated Kingswood was now the new home for the dragons.

"Good night."

"Balerion."

Viserys looked up at the moonlit figure of the departing dragon and said silently in his heart.

"Roar."

A roar from the dragon echoed from the distance, sounding like a response.
