Yet they were bound to Drogo for life and death, so Daenerys had no choice but to accept them.
但他們和卓戈生死與共,所以丹妮莉絲除了接納他們,別無選擇。
And sometimes she found herself wishing her father had been protected by such men.
有時候,她反倒希望自己父親當年身邊也有這種人保護。
In the songs, the white knights of the Kingsguard were ever noble, valiant, and true, and yet King Aerys had been murdered by one of them, the handsome boy they now called the Kingslayer, and a second, Ser Barristan the Bold, had gone over to the Usurper.
歌謠里的白衣白甲的御林鐵衛,總是高貴、英勇而真誠,但伊里斯王卻死在其中一人手里。如今人們稱那個英俊的男孩為弒君者.至于無畏的巴利斯坦爵士,則投效篡奪者麾下。
She wondered if all men were as false in the Seven Kingdoms. When her son sat the Iron Throne, she would see that he had bloodriders of his own to protect him against treachery in his Kingsguard.
她不禁暗忖,七國的人是否都如此虛偽。待她的兒子坐上鐵王座,她一定要讓他也有自己的血盟衛,保護他免遭御林鐵衛的詭計迫害。
Khaleesi, Cohollo said to her, in Dothraki. Drogo, who is blood of my blood, commands me to tell you that he must ascend the Mother of Mountains this night, to sacrifice to the gods for his safe return.
卡麗熙,科霍羅用多斯拉克語說,吾血之血卓戈命令我通知您,今晚他必須登上圣母山,為他的平安歸來向諸神獻祭。
Only men were allowed to set foot on the Mother, Dany knew. The khal's bloodriders would go with him, and return at dawn.
丹妮知道惟有男人才能踏上圣母山,卡奧的血盟衛會和他同去,并在翌日清晨歸返。
Tell my sun-and-stars that I dream of him, and wait anxious for his return, she replied, thankful.
請告訴我的日和星,說我作夢都念著他,并且焦急地盼他回來。她滿懷感激地答道。
Dany tired more easily as the child grew within her; in truth, a night of rest would be most welcome.
事實上,隨著胎兒日漸長大,丹妮越來越容易疲累,能休息一晚再好不過。
Her pregnancy only seemed to have inflamed Drogo's desire for her, and of late his embraces left her exhausted.
她懷孕一事似乎益發點燃卓戈的欲火,近來他的臨幸總讓她筋疲力盡。
