They had wandered since then, from Braavos to Myr, from Myr to Tyrosh, and on to Qohor and Volantis and Lys, never staying long in any one place. Her brother would not allow it. The Usurper’s hired knives were close behind them, he insisted, though Dany had never seen one.
從那之後，他們開始了流浪的歲月，從布拉佛斯到密爾，從密爾到泰洛西，後來又到魁赫、瓦蘭提斯和里斯，漂泊無依，未曾在一處落腳扎根。哥哥不肯定居下來，他總說「篡奪者」派來的殺手緊迫在後，然而丹妮卻連半個刺客也沒見著過。
At first the magisters and archons and merchant princes were pleased to welcome the last Targaryens to their homes and tables, but as the years passed and the Usurper continued to sit upon the Iron Throne, doors closed and their lives grew meaner. Years past they had been forced to sell their last few treasures, and now even the coin they had gotten from Mother’s crown had gone. In the alleys and wine sinks of Pentos, they called her brother “the beggar king.” Dany did not want to know what they called her.
起初各地的總督、大君和商界巨賈很樂於接待坦格利安後裔，但隨著日子漸漸過去，「篡奪者」在鐵王座上坐得越來越穩，原本為他們敞開的們一扇扇關了起來，他們的日子也日益艱苦。一年年過去，他們不得不出售手中最后的幾件珠寶，甚至是母親皇冠上的硬幣。路上的人們都稱他的哥哥為“乞丐國王”，丹尼不想知道他們是如何稱呼自己的。
“We will have it all back someday, sweet sister,” he would promise her. Sometimes his hands shook when he talked about it. “The jewels and the silks, Dragonstone and King’s Landing, the Iron Throne and the Seven Kingdoms, all they have taken from us, we will have it back.” Viserys lived for that day. All that Daenerys wanted back was the big house with the red door, the lemon tree outside her window, the childhood she had never known.
「我的好妹妹，有朝一日我們一定會收復失土。」韋賽里斯往往這麼向她承諾，有時他邊說手還會無法克制地顫抖。「想想那些珠寶絲綢，龍石島和君臨，鐵王座和七大王國，全都從我們手中將這些搶了過去，我們統統會要回來的。」韋賽里斯之所以活著就是為了那一天的到來，丹妮卻只想重回那楝有紅漆大門的宅院，想要她窗外的那株檸檬樹，還有她失去的童年。
