Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon

At first, only Jon Connington and Ashara Dayne recovered from their confusion and tried to calm down and came to the back tent.

"That prince" couldn't calm down for a while, and his body was still shaking uncontrollably. It was really not suitable to meet the king at this time.

At this moment, Barristan took the prince to calm down his panic in a nearby tent, let him lie on his bed, fed him wine, and also gave him candy - His Majesty Viserys said that eating candy and drinking wine It can calm panic quickly.

That prince was not scared to death, and his courage exceeded many people.

Barristan lamented the king's thoughtfulness. He had previously replaced all the people on duty here with taciturn guards. They always knew what should not be said.

Viserys did not intend to make public what happened here, which was undoubtedly a sign of tolerance and generosity towards Ser Connington and the prince.

It was Daenerys who met them in the back tent: "So, it's a pity that the young man failed to pass the test. If he could pass this test, he wouldn't have to go as far as the Great Wall. His Majesty Viserys I have said that most of the descendants of Targaryen can have a mysterious connection with the dragon, but there are also some descendants who have not been able to inherit this bloodline. Of course, it may be that my Nightfire has always been incompatible with him. They are all very reasonable, and blowing him out of the camp is to save him. Not all dragons are as smart as Guli Oak. "

Daenerys sweetly made amends for them and explained the rationale for this situation. But what she was thinking about was that Viserys had asked her to put off hatching the eggs, and now it seemed that it was indeed necessary.

Ashara Dayne, dressed as a nun, greets Daenerys: "Thank you, you are so kind, Your Highness."

Jon Clinton calmed down and asked calmly: "I wonder why His Majesty the King summoned us?"

"It's nothing, it's a private banquet." Just as he was talking, Viserys's voice came from outside. He strode in and couldn't help but sigh, "Although I still have doubts, Sir Jon, the Targaryen family The population is sparse, and I really hope that my nephew is still alive, but aside from the evidence you gave me, I want to entertain you in a private capacity, and I also want to meet the man who calls himself 'Aegon'. Prince. His identity cannot be confirmed at this time, but based on what he has done, I, not as a king or a Targaryen, would like to meet him."

When Viserys came in, he asked a pointed question. "And you, Jon Connington. I remember King Aerys deprived you of all honor, power, and status, and exiled you to a foreign land. I want to ask you a heart-wrenching question, don't you resent the Targaryens?"

The old man who was eroded by wind and frost solemnly replied: "I was exiled because of my failure in the Battle of the Bell. It was my fault. The king exiled me, and I have no complaints. Your Majesty, please believe that I am loyal to the Targaryen royal family. It has never changed. To this day, every time I close my eyes, the bells of Stone Hall still ring loudly in my dreams.”

Viserys looked at him deeply: "Well, I sincerely hope you can have the opportunity to calm the bells in your dreams. And this, this lady, I am very curious about the death of the Dane family in Starfall City. How could a lady of many years be connected with the exiled Hand, Prince Aegon, and become a nun?”

The nun looked quite pious: "Oh, there is nothing to tell my story. Your Majesty. Please forgive me. I can only tell you some information that I guess may be useful to you. I was Elia Martell The princess's female companion, I served the princess when she married Prince Rhaegar. I was in Starfall City when King's Landing fell. I was just an ordinary woman who gave up the past and dedicated herself to the gods. There was just someone around the prince who promised me that I would only need to raise the prince for Princess Ilia and teach him the faith so that I could remain anonymous."

She seemed dissatisfied with Jon Connington's revelation of her identity.

Jon was a little embarrassed.

Viserys did know why, as the female companion of Princess Elia, she was not in King's Landing when King's Landing fell. It was because she had a relationship with someone in the wrong spring, became pregnant with someone's child, and was sent back to Starfall. Cheng went into hiding to give birth to a child.

It is suspected to be a romantic debt left by Eddard Stark's brother Brandon Stark.

"I see. I'm sorry to say this, but Ms. Dane, your testimony is not enough to convince everyone. You were not in King's Landing at the time." Viserys sat on the main seat, "Speaking of which, what happened to the prince and Barristan? Can you take a seat?"

Just as he was talking, Barristan and the young man who called himself Aegon entered the tent.

The young man was so shocked that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Viserys was quite kind in his high position, and only said: "Young man, just call me His Majesty the King." After that, he said, "Everyone, sit down."

"Thank you." The young man was a little embarrassed. He wanted to shout more intimately, but he didn't have the shame to shout out, so he had to say, "Your Majesty the King."

The young man was still blushing when he screamed after being blown out of the tent by the wind. In shame, he did not dare to look directly at the uncle and aunt he considered to be on the throne. He only felt that he had indeed disgraced the Targaryen family.

Barristan did not expect that the king would actually arrange a seat for him, right next to the nun. Barristan sat down in an inexplicable mood, sitting very upright.

It's hard to say that Viserys didn't have a bad taste. He knew that in Barristan's mind, the queen of love and beauty at the Harrenhal Tourney was this nun who was already in her forties.

Although the knight did not say it, Viserys knew that Barristan had thought about it countless times, when he defeated Rhaegar in the final of the tourney in the wrong spring and wore the queen of love and beauty for Ashara. Crown, in this case, first Ashara will notice Barristan, and secondly Rhaegar will not put the crown of love and beauty on Lyanna Stark's head. He thought that in this way, the Usurper War might be avoided.

This regret has been haunting Barristan, and now it's hard to tell whether the emotion is love or boundless regret and entanglement.

When the so-called private banquet began to be served, Viserys opened his mouth and asked: "Young man, have you decided on how many people to take with you when you go north to see my great-grandfather, Maester Aemon? The Great Wall in the North is not peaceful now. It is said that the wildlings You are raising your troops to go south, and you may encounter some strange people. After taking the boat from Dragonstone to Eastwatch, you still have to ride dozens of leagues to get to Castle Black. If you bring fewer guards, it will be very difficult. It’s dangerous. The weather will be cold after autumn, especially in the north. Bring more clothes and be careful to protect yourself from the cold.”

Viserys spoke as if Prince Aegon had agreed to go north, and his tone sounded like an elder in the family caring about his children.

Daenerys also helped: "I heard that there is often snow in the north in midsummer, and you have to wear multiple layers of woolen clothes inside and outside your armor to keep out the cold. According to what Sir Clinton said before, the south where you grew up is I'm afraid there will be a lot of discomfort in the north. Do you have any bachelors with you? Be careful about getting sick and prepare more common medicines."

The young man had just been frightened by the people in the Chinese army's tent. Under Barristan's care, he was fed sugar and wine, and now his mood was a little unstable.

Hearing the greetings from Viserys and Daenerys, he seemed to be very concerned, and a wave of warmth surged in his heart: "Your Majesty the King, Your Royal Highness the Princess, please rest assured that I will definitely gain the approval of Aemon's great-great-grandfather on the Great Wall. I am the son of Rhaegar, there is no doubt about it, and the next time I see a dragon, I will never be like this.”

Jon Connington had no time to stop his prince from replying. The wrinkles on his old face were all squeezed together, but the prince had already agreed, so he could only follow the words: "I wonder how many guards your Majesty thinks it is appropriate to take with you to the Great Wall?"

Viserys seemed to have really thought about this issue and said matter-of-factly: "I think the more the better. I don't know who is in charge of the North now. I heard that the Ironborn and the Northerners are still fighting endlessly. But there is no guarantee that no one will go there. Go to the Great Wall. To be on the safe side, I suggest you bring more manpower. No matter what happens, you will be safer. I think you have a lot of cavalry. It doesn’t matter if you bring hundreds or even thousands of cavalry over there. Horseback riding is highly maneuverable and can come and go freely. , it’s convenient no matter what happens. I wonder if Sir Clinton will go, and will Ms. Dane accompany him?”

Seeing that the problem was inevitable, Clinton had no choice but to ask: "I wonder when your Majesty said before that the Great Wall's ship will arrive at Dragonstone?"

After all, this man had been prime minister and lord, and he wanted to buy time to delay, depending on the situation. Viserys did not tolerate him, and only asked calmly: "Sir Clinton is not planning to go to the north?" After saying that, he turned to the young prince and asked with concern, "Young man, who else can protect you? Can a man as loyal and brave as Sir Clinton be trusted?”

This has pushed Clinton into a corner.

However, His Highness the Prince obviously did not realize the aggression in the King's calm and concerned tone. Just as the Prince was about to answer, Clinton quickly took over the words: "Your Majesty, of course I will go to the north with Your Highness. In addition, there are Many brave and loyal people will also go together.”

Clinton lamented inwardly that his prince was too immature and that his power came from the Golden Company when he was not trusted. Going north means that he is getting further and further away from the source of his power. Even if he is recognized by Maester Aemon, Clinton is worried that when they return, will the Golden Company still recognize them?

How many people from the Golden Company must he bring to the north to ensure the prince's power? And how many people in the Golden Company are willing to follow him to the north?

At least half of the Golden Company's development so far is no longer the exiled nobles of Westeros. Once they leave, those who were brought here will regroup with Captain Harry.

Viserys nodded, with a look of great comfort: "I feel relieved to have an experienced and loyal man like Ser Connington guarding me. Young man, I am waiting for you to come back from the Great Wall. If Aemon Great-grandfather has recognized you, and I will hold another big banquet for you to rectify your name."

Speaking, Viserys paused and said in a deep voice. "And if unfortunately great-grandfather Aemon does not recognize you, considering your courage, I hereby promise in the name of the king that if you can abide by your promise, accept and bear this result calmly, I will allow you to return to the East safely - —But next time we meet, we will be enemies."

As Viserys finished speaking, the young man who claimed to be Rhaegar's son couldn't help but sit upright.

Viserys raised his glass and looked at the young prince attentively: "The young man who calls himself Aegon, this is an agreement about honor between you and me. There happened to be a nun at the table, and we asked her to be our witness. Make a sacred oath, are you willing to accept it?"

"Your Majesty," the prince promised, "I swear to you that I will definitely be recognized by great-great-grandfather Aemon. If not, I will jump off the Great Wall without you letting me go. To preserve the honor of House Targaryen!"

Sir Clinton sadly realized that even if the king didn't have a dragon, he wouldn't be able to put Rhaegar's son on the Iron Throne. This young prince was no match for his uncle who had already been crowned king.

But it was enough, Sir Clinton thought, helping the prince confirm his identity, and he had completed more than ten years of perseverance. Even if Jon Clinton died, he died for a good cause.

The white-robed septa witnessed the oath between the king and the prince. She looked at the young prince with some concern and prayed for him devoutly.

They obviously believed that Aegon was the real son of Rhaegar and hoped to be recognized at the Wall.

Viserys continued to ask: "Lady Dayne, you haven't answered me yet, will you go north with me?"

The white-robed septa didn't expect Viserys to still want to confirm that question, so she answered dignifiedly: "Your Majesty, like every septa in the castle of a lord who believes in the Seven Gods, I am a septa of Little Griffin. He has no castle and no septa now, and I will go with him until he gives me a septa."

To be honest, this Ashara Dayne doesn't look like a devout believer of the Seven Gods at all.

Earl Gunther and Septon Baal under Viserys gave him a much more pious impression than her. Earl Gunther prayed three times a day, and he looked like someone who could be deceived.

But whether she was pious or not did not prevent Viserys from asking Barristan: "Sir Barristan, you are the most famous legendary knight under my command. I believe that sending you as a witness will convince everyone. Are you willing to accompany this young man when he goes north to the Wall and be a witness for me?"

Barristan stood up and knelt on one knee solemnly and said: "Your Majesty, my sword is at your will."

Daenerys saw that Viserys had arranged everything, so she spoke to ease the atmosphere: "Didn't you say that today is a private banquet? Why are you talking about such serious topics? I don't know whether I should call you brother or your majesty?"

"Oh, my dear sister, thank you for reminding me. It's my problem. Everyone, let's not talk about these things." Viserys walked down the steps, "Come, drink this cup."

Viserys couldn't help but look at Barristan while drinking. Although the task was severe-Viserys had other tasks to assign to him, he did give him benefits. Next, Viserys planned to arrange a few noble children of the Storm as attendants for him.

Besides, it takes time to take a boat from Dragonstone to the Wall, and Viserys is looking forward to some story between the old knight and the septa.
