Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 142 Aegon Targaryen

"Your Majesty, there is still room for improvement," Ian said reluctantly, "We may have a lot of work to do to make him a wise king." Speaking of this, Ian looked at the Glancing at Illyrio, he hurriedly added, "Of course, I'm ready to spend my whole life advising His Majesty."

"You don't have to be nervous, Ian," Illyrio reassured, "Your Majesty has lived with me for so long, and I know him better than you, so I know what you say is true. Aegon the Conqueror is alive again," Illyrio said. Leo repeated what Ian had just said to Viserys, "He'll never be Aegon the Conqueror, you know that, don't you?"

"No," Ian retorted unexpectedly, "he will become when we restore the Targaryen dynasty, history will write him as the second Aegon the Conqueror, even greater than Aegon I , for Aegon has three dragons, and Viserys has none."

"Then do you think it is possible for us to restore the Targaryen dynasty under the leadership of Viserys?" Illyrio continued.

Ian's face darkened, as if he was being questioned, he was speechless for a while.

Illyrio didn't speak, so he could only look at Ian quietly.

Under Illyrio's scrutinizing gaze, cold sweat broke out on Ian's forehead in a short while, and then he became 'irritated and restless', making small movements with his hands.

Finally, Ian put down the knife and fork in his hand, and met Illyrio's gaze.

"I don't know what's the point of you asking these things?" Ian said impatiently, "If I could, of course I would like to serve Prince Rhaegar more, but we only have Viserys, right?" Ian said more and more irritable,

"I must be loyal to a king, not the usurper, but only Targaryen. The usurper killed my whole family, what choice do I have other than assisting His Majesty Viserys in his restoration?"

"Yes, that's right." Ian was emotional, and simply put on a showdown expression, "I doubt the ability and character of His Majesty Viserys, do you know? Your Excellency Illyrio , when I first saw His Majesty, he was pinching His Highness Princess's arm with his nails.

And just last night, he tried to beat up His Royal Highness, his sister who was unarmed and unwilling to resist, and the reason was just out of anger. What kind of king can do such a thing?
I have little knowledge, and I can only think of one person for such behavior," Ian paused, "Aerys II, the mad king!And he happened to be Lord Viserys' father.

Of course I know Viserys can't be Aegon the Conqueror, I even prayed all night last night that he doesn't become the Second Mad King, but there's no choice, is there?I want to take back Darry City, and I want to revive the Darry family.

As we all know, the plowing farmers can only fly again under the banner of the red dragon on the black background!And Viserys is the last true dragon!he"

"He's not." Illyrio softly interrupted the growling Ian.

"He is the only one for me." Ian stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking, "I didn't hear clearly, what did you just say?"

"Prince Rhaegar's son is alive," Illyrio said again.

Snapped!Ian clapped his hands on the table, then stood up abruptly.

"Aegon, his name is also Aegon, Aegon Targaryen, the eldest son of Prince Rhaegar and Princess Elia Martell, and their only son."

"Lie!" Ian said bluntly, "Little Prince Aegon was brutally murdered in the nursery by the 'Magic Mountain' Gregor Clegane during the Usurper War. My father was more than ten years old. Tell me this story again and again, and tell us never to forget this hatred!"

"At that time, it was just an ordinary farm baby who was killed by the lackeys of the Lannister family, and the real Prince Aegon had been hidden by a loyal minister in advance. Sorry, I can't tell you who he is yet."

Sorry I already knew who he was, Ian replied in his mind.

"Then Prince Aegon was sent to Essos to be raised by men as loyal as you."

"How is he?" Ian asked 'impatiently', and then seemed to realize that it was inappropriate, so he turned his face to the side, but the eyes that kept sneaking at Illyrio 'exposed' his understanding of this The expectation of the answer.

"People say that he is as handsome as Prince Rhaegar, as merciful, and as skilled in martial arts. I even think that in many ways, he is even above Prince Rhaegar. For example, in fulfilling his obligations, he will not be like Prince Rhaegar As capricious as Prince Rhaegar, he would be a perfect monarch."

That's so self-willed, elope with a duke's daughter and another duke's fiancée Lyanna while having a wife and children, the destruction of the Targaryen dynasty, you Rhaegar's contribution is no less than that of your father, the Mad King , Ian couldn't help but slander.

But at the same time, his eyes glowed with excitement, and at the same time, there was an involuntary smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Thank you Seven Gods." Ian murmured inadvertently, and then retorted as if he suddenly realized his gaffe, and he didn't know what he was covering up.
"But what will this change? Prince Rhaegar did not become king, and His Majesty Viserys, as the son of the Mad King, is in line of succession above Prince Aegon! Viserys is our legitimate king."

Illyrio smiled, satisfied with Ian's reaction.

Because Ian was asking 'what does this change? ', in other words, 'how? ', and as we all know, the question of 'how to do' arises only in what 'needs to be done'.

Although Ian is still speaking for Viserys, this detail reveals that his heart is actually biased towards Aegon Targaryen, and he is even thinking about how to make Aegon VI replace Viserys the throne.

Of course, what Illyrio didn't know was that all the details of Ian's performance today had already been rehearsed countless times, and he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"Do you care about the so-called law?" Illyrio asked slowly.

"Of course I don't. But the law is the law. A nephew cannot become a king before his uncle. This has been a rule since ancient times." Ian didn't seem to have that much confidence when he spoke.

"But the law stipulates that as long as you kill the eldest son and heir of the previous king, and pardon the 'King Slayer' and those villains who eradicated his descendants, you can become the new king." Illyrio took a sip of red wine slowly .

"What are you talking about? This is too ridiculous." Ian understood what Illyrio meant, but still pretended to be stupid.

"Isn't that one of your laws in Westeros?"

"Impossible, sir."

"Then why is Robert Baratheon sitting in that iron chair?"

Ian opened his mouth wide, showing a skeptical expression, and then his eyes shone brightly, as if he had opened the door to a new world.

"So, your final choice? Viserys or Aegon?"

"Your choice is my choice, Your Excellency, without you, we can't do anything." Ian said without hesitation.
