She did not remember Dragonstone either. They had run again, just before the Usurper’s brother set sail with his new-built fleet. By then only Dragonstone itself, the ancient seat of their House, had remained of the Seven Kingdoms that had once been theirs. It would not remain for long. The garrison had been prepared to sell them to the Usurper, but one night Ser Willem Darry and four loyal men had broken into the nursery and stolen them both, along with her wet nurse, and set sail under cover of darkness for the safety of the Braavosian coast.
然而她也不記得龍石島。他們繼續亡命奔逃，就在「篡奪者」弟弟的艦隊初成，率眾來伐的前夕。當時原本屬於他們的七大王國之中，只剩下他們歷史悠久的家族堡壘龍石島尚未落入敵人手中。而就連這樣的情形也維持不了多久，城中守軍早已暗中計畫把他們出賣給「篡奪者」。但有天夜里，威廉·戴利爵士帶著四位死土殺進育嬰房，把他們連同奶媽一同帶走，在夜幕掩護下揚帆駛往布拉佛斯海岸。
She remembered Ser Willem dimly, a great grey bear of a man, half-blind, roaring and bellowing orders from his sickbed. The servants had lived in terror of him, but he had always been kind to Dany. He called her “Little Princess” and sometimes “My Lady,” and his hands were soft as old leather. He never left his bed, though, and the smell of sickness clung to him day and night, a hot, moist, sickly sweet odor. That was when they lived in Braavos, in the big house with the red door. Dany had her own room there, with a lemon tree outside her window. After Ser Willem had died, the servants had stolen what little money they had left, and soon after they had been put out of the big house. Dany had cried when the red door closed behind them forever.
她依稀記得威廉·戴利爵士，他是個魁梧的灰胡壯漢，即使後來眼睛半盲了，還從病榻上高聲怒吼發號施令。仆人們怕極了他，但他待丹妮始終親切慈藹，他喚她作「小公主」，有時則是「我的小姐」；他的雙手猶如皮革般柔軟。然而他始終沒有離開病床，日夜被疾病的氣息所纏繞，那是種濕熱而惡心的甜味。那時他們住在布拉佛斯那楝有著紅漆大門的房子里，丹妮有自己的房間，寢室窗外還有棵檸檬樹。威廉爵士死後，仆人們把僅剩的一點錢全給偷走，沒過多久他們便被逐出那楝寬敞紅屋。當那扇紅漆大門在他們背後關起來時，丹妮再也止不住眼淚。
