“That would be most fitting,” Magister Illyrio said. Dany saw the smallest hint of a smile playing around his full lips, but her brother did not notice. Nodding, he pushed back a curtain and stared off into the night, and Dany knew he was fighting the Battle of the Trident once again.
「那是再恰當不過了。」伊利里歐總督道。丹妮瞥見他嘴際揚起細微的笑意，但哥哥沒有注意到，只是滿意地點點頭，然後掀開簾幕，望著無邊黑夜。丹妮知道他腦海里又在演練當年三河血戰的場景了。
The nine-towered manse of Khal Drogo sat beside the waters of the bay, its high brick walls overgrown with pale ivy. It had been given to the khal by the magisters of Pentos, Illyrio told them. The Free Cities were always generous with the horselords. “It is not that we fear these barbarians,” Illyrio would explain with a smile. “The Lord of Light would hold our city walls against a million Dothraki, or so the red priests promise? yet why take chances, when their friendship comes so cheap?”
卓戈卡奧的寢宮坐落海灣邊，拔起九座高塔，高聳磚墻上爬滿蒼白的長春藤。伊利里歐告訴他們說這座宮殿是潘托斯的總督們聯合致贈卡奧的禮物，自由貿易城邦向來對這些游牧族長禮遇有加。「其實我們也不是貢怕這些野蠻人，」他笑吟吟地解釋給他們聽：「根據紅袍僧的說法，有光之神庇佑，即使百萬多斯拉克人來襲，我們也守得住……但是既然他們的友誼如此廉價，何樂而不為呢？」
Their palanquin was stopped at the gate, the curtains pulled roughly back by one of the house guards. He had the copper skin and dark almond eyes of a Dothraki, but his face was hairless and he wore the spiked bronze cap of the Unsullied. He looked them over coldly. Magister Illyrio growled something to him in the rough Dothraki tongue; the guardsman replied in the same voice and waved them through the gates.
轎子在門口停了下來，一名守衛粗魯地掀開簾幕。他有典型多斯拉克人的古銅色皮膚和黑色杏眼，但臉上卻沒有胡須，還戴了個「無垢者」的青鋼盔，上頭有根刺。他冷冷掃視轎內乘客，伊利里歐總督用刺耳的多斯拉克語朝他吼了幾句，對方也用相同的聲調回應，然後便揮揮手示意他們進去了。
Dany noticed that her brother’s hand was clenched tightly around the hilt of his borrowed sword. He looked almost as frightened as she felt. “Insolent eunuch,” Viserys muttered as the palanquin lurched up toward the manse.
丹妮注意到她哥哥的手緊緊握住那把借來的配劍劍柄，看起來彷佛和她一樣害怕。「不知好歹的臭太監。」韋賽里斯喃喃道，轎子顛簸著抬進宅院。
