Game of Thrones: Kings in the North

Chapter 232 Jon the Dragon Prince, the Oath of the Wolf and the Dragon

In the loft of Harrenhal, Jon Snow is in deep self-doubt.

The bastard son of Winterfell, this is Jon Snow's identity since childhood. His peer Robb is the heir to Winterfell, Duke of the North and the Stark family.

Theon Greyjoy, who was smiling since he was a child, is Ed's adopted son and a hostage to ensure that his father, King Balon, will not rebel. However, Theon has an identity. bit heir.

In Winterfell, Jon has no status, and every time he eats more food, he has to endure Caitlin's cold and harsh eyes.

For many days and nights in Winterfell, Jon Snow has been imagining the appearance of his mother. In Jon Snow's fantasy, his mother was of noble birth and beautiful appearance. However, another voice in his heart told Jon, she was a woman who fathered Duke Eddard's illegitimate child, probably of low birth, maybe even, a whore.

Now, the truth is revealed. It turns out that Jon Snow's mother is the aunt Lyanna he always thought of.

As a child, Jon Snow often played hide-and-seek in the cellar with Robb, Sansa, Bran, and Arya. He often saw the sculpture of Lyanna. The sculpture is a big beauty. However, many Winterfell All the old people in the city said that Lyanna herself was much more beautiful than the sculpture.

It turns out that the mother Jon Snow misses has long since entered the grave.

And his father.

Jon Snow always thought that his father, Ed, was his uncle, and his biological father was the famous Prince Rhaegar of Dragonstone Island.

Prince Rhaegar died in battle on the Trident River. Years later, he was resurrected by a necromancer in King's Landing and reborn as a death knight. Now, Prince Rhaegar is leading an army of undead to ravage the riverland.

From the bastard of Winterfell that everyone despised, to the true dragon prince of the Targaryen family, this huge change in identity made Jon Snow a little dizzy.

Jon Snow couldn't accept it for a while, he took a deep breath, and looked at Ed in front of him sadly.

"Why didn't you tell me the truth sooner?"

Ed took Jon Snow's wrist.

"Because you are the son of the last Prince of Dragonstone, and your mother Lyanna entrusted you to me before she died. If your life experience is revealed, King Robert will definitely take your life.

"Robert hates Rhaegar. He will never allow Prince Rhaegar's children to live in this world. Besides, Prince Rhaegar is loved by the people and some nobles. Some people will use you to instigate rebellion. The blood of the real dragon itself It is a great threat to the nascent Baratheon dynasty."

Jon Snow sighed.

"So I should hate King Robert the Drunkard?"

Ed said: "Robert became a death storm, and your father, Prince Rhaegar, was also resurrected as a death knight. They all became the slaves of the cold god's darkness."

"We should unite to defeat the undead and end the curse of the undead. In this way, both Robert and Prince Rhaegar may gain self-awareness."

Jon Snow nodded slightly.

"Uncle, no matter what, you gave me the love of a father, and the love of Robb, Bran, Arya, Sansa and little Rickon. I will always be a member of the direwolf."

Ed said: "However, you are also of true dragon blood and should become a dragon master. Daenerys' dragon Rhaegar is named after your father, Prince Rhaegar. I once controlled Rhaegar to fight against the frost dragon. .”

"Rego will be your mount."

Jon was a little scared, "Riding the dragon? Daenerys' dragon likes me very much, but why would she be willing to share the dragon with me?"

Ed said: "Daenerys is your aunt, she knows your identity. Although Daenerys is one year younger than you, she is Stormborn, Khaleesi of the Great Prairie, and the Unburnt." , Queen of Meereen, Misha of all slaves in Slaver's Bay."

"She hatched three dragons with blood and fire in the flames, and let the dragons return to the world; she led the broken Dothraki tribe through the red wilderness; The witch's temple of dust, burned the immortals to death; in Slaver's Bay, relying on intrigue, she captured the Unsullied Legion, leaving behind a series of smoking cities, freeing countless slaves, and making the slave world tremble."

"The slaves of Slaver's Bay, whether they are Dothraki, Raza, dark-skinned Summer Islanders, yellow-skinned and dark-eyed Yiddish, fair-skinned Qarthites, or thick-haired Ibans, worship butterflies. Men of Naath, men of Yunkai, men of Meereen, men of Astapor, will follow the banner of Daenerys, Queen of Dragons."

"Jon, you are my nephew, the nephew of Daenerys. You will be the link between the direwolf and the dragon, and the oath of ice and fire. Together with Daenerys, you will drive the dragon to fight Undead."

Jon frowned: "Daenerys seems to like me, but I have never ridden a dragon."

"Will Rhaego accept me as his dragon knight?"

Ed put his hand on Jon's shoulder, "Don't worry, with the ability of the skinchanger, I can easily manipulate every dragon, whether it's Daenerys' dragon Drogon, Viserion or Rhaegal , or Stark’s Demon Dragon Flying Wolf, Koi and Hawkeye.”

"In the last battle, I rode the dragon Rhaego to fight under the sky of Harrenhal. The dragon with a rider is easier to tame, and with your Targaryen blood, riding the dragon Rhaego will not any question."

Afterwards, Ed and Jon came to Daenerys' bedroom.

"Queen Daenerys, can we speak privately?"

Daenerys motioned to the maid Missandei, Irri and Jiki left, leaving only Ed, Daenerys and Jon in the bedroom.

Daenerys glanced at Jon, then turned to Ed. "Did you tell Jon all about it?"

Ed nodded, and Jon said: "Until today, I didn't know that Prince Rhaegar is my father, and you are my aunt."

Daenerys stroked Jon's black hair, "Black hair and gray eyes, you don't look like Targaryen. The most typical feature of the Targaryen family is silver hair and purple eyes, but you are a real Tangerine." Lian, my dragon likes you very much."

"My elder brother, Prince Rhaegar, and my second brother, Viserys, were both resurrected by necromancers and became death knights. In this world, there are only two of us, the last true dragon blood."

Jon was a little embarrassed.

"Isn't there Prince Aegon? He is the son of Prince Rhaegar and Elia of Dorne."

Ed said: "Prince Aegon has silver hair and purple eyes. He is just a Bron. His prince identity was forged by Varys and Illyrio. The conspirators want to use Prince Aegon to seize the Iron Throne."

Daenerys said: "Lord Wolf, now we join hands to fight against the undead. I am grateful that you accepted me and my army of followers when I returned to Westeros."

"Many of my subordinates are whispering around me, saying that you have occupied too much territory and can even control all the dragons. In the future, you will seize the Iron Throne."

"I have no obsession with power, but the Iron Throne was cast by Aegon the Conqueror with the broken sword of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. The Seven Kingdoms were forged into a country by Aegon the Conqueror and his descendants .”

"Now my nephew, Jon, is of the same dragon blood as me, and the kingdom should be inherited by the people of the Targaryen family."

Ed said: "I fully understand your difficulties. You are a queen. A queen does not belong to herself, but to her country. The Golden Group has too many descendants of exiles, and they are eager to regain the territories and castles lost by their ancestors; The Dothraki are eager to follow you, conquer more lands, and win more glory; the Free Brotherhood are eager to have a foothold in Westeros and live as free men."

"I am allied with the Dragon Queen, because you lead a hopeful army of liberators and braves. In the future, I don't want us to fight, because in that case, many followers of the direwolves and true dragons will die in power in the game."

"But it is also difficult for me to give in. My people in the north followed me and conquered Skaggs Island, beyond the Great Wall, the valley, the western border, and merged with the river land. My territory is the largest, the people are the most, and the army is the strongest. In the future After defeating the undead, my supporters will think that the Iron Throne and Westeros should belong to the Starks."

Daenerys said sadly: "Could it be that for the Iron Throne, the direwolf and the real dragon are destined to draw their swords against each other?"

Ed said: "Queen Daenerys, Aegon's great conquest not only brought blood and killing, but also brought order and stability."

"Your conquest in Slaver's Bay was quite like Aegon the Conqueror. You captured Astapor, Yunkai, and Meereen, and liberated a large number of slaves. Unfortunately, your reforms were too radical, and eventually you were defeated by the slavery city-state. The encirclement and suppression of Slaves Bay, blood flowed into rivers, and corpses littered the fields, but failed to establish a new order."

"After you left Meereen, the sons of the Harpy in Meereen immediately restored slavery, and so did the whole of Slaver's Bay. Now, in the arenas of Meereen, gladiators practice the deadly art of bloodshed on the red sands. , Yunkai's bed slaves practiced thirty-six spring cries and eighteen square positions."

"The Unsullied of Astapor, castrated, raised puppies, killed babies, trained to be emotionless killing machines. Business as usual."

Daenerys said depressedly: "If the war in Westeros ends, one day I will sit on the Iron Throne of Westeros. I am eager to lead the army back to Slavery Bay, punish the slave owners again, and liberate the slaves." .”

Ed said: "Daenerys, you may be able to capture Slaver's Bay again, but it will be difficult for you to complete a complete conquest there."

"Slaveholders from East and West will be against you. Volantene, Qarth, New Ghis, Lys, Tyrosh, Myr, Qohor, Norvos and even the Dothraki tribes of the Dothraki steppe , will oppose you to free the slaves, and you cannot shake slavery."

Daenerys clenched her fists, "Even if I have a dragon, can't I do it?"

Ed said: "Back then, Valyria relied on the magic dragon to build the largest slave empire in history. Relying on the magic dragon alone, it was difficult to liberate slaves all over the world."

"But I can help you realize your dreams. I have a vast territory in Westeros. The West, the Valley, the Riverlands, and the North. There are Stark Manors everywhere. Our artillery and dragons will destroy slavery. , from Lys, Tyrosh, Myr, to Volantis, all the way to the Bay of Slaves, I will help you to become a well-deserved liberator."

"Of course, the premise of all this is that human beings win the war against the undead. Otherwise, when the long night falls, everyone will become slaves to darkness. I will defeat the undead and lift the curse of the death knight. At that time, Prince Rhaegar, Viserys, and Drogo the Horselord, will both regain their free will."

Daenerys said heartily: "Really?"

Ed said: "When I liberate the slaves of Essos, I will build a huge empire on the territory of the Free Trade City and Slave's Bay, and return your beloved Prince Rhaegar, Horse King Drogo, and Viserys to you, you Are you willing to give up the Iron Throne and become the queen of the new empire?"

Daenerys closed her eyes, thinking of Eroye who died tragically on the prairie, the bed slave of Yunkai, the little boy Unsullied in Astapor, and the children forced to fight bears in the Arena of Meereen. After pondering for a long time, he held Ed's hand.

"Wolf King, in order to defeat the slave masters, save innocent people, win back my brothers, and my beloved husband Drogo, I am willing."

That night, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jon Snow climbed onto the back of the dragon Rhaegal, and Queen Daenerys rode on Drogon's back, dancing with Jon Snow in the air.

Varys stroked his smooth chin, "Ed's illegitimate son, why can he control the dragon? Didn't it mean that only Targaryen blood can control the dragon?"

Tyrion said disdainfully: "Ed the wolf king can hatch and control the dragon, Jon Snow can control the dragon, what's so strange?"

Prince Aegon looked at Snow in the air, a little jealous.

"Why does Jon Snow ride my aunt's dragon?"

Tyrion smirked and said, "Prince Aegon, dragons have three heads. Queen Daenerys' dragon Viserion has no rider yet. If you don't accept it, you can ride it!"

"Of course, the premise is that Viserion didn't burn and eat you. Logically speaking, your blood is so pure, why don't you attract the favor of the dragon?"

Prince Aegon blushed with embarrassment, and Varys smiled and said, "Not every Targaryen is a dragon master."

Wolf King Ed said: "Jon Snow is a pure-blooded Targaryen."

Varys was shocked, and Tyrion rolled his eyes of different sizes. Both of them were extremely intelligent people, and soon realized that this was the truth. Tyrion said: "Jon Snow is Lyanna and Rhaegar Prince's child."

Prince Oberyn the Red Viper, Griffin Prime Minister Jon Connington, Ser Jorah, Greatjon Umber, Roose Bolton and others all came over curiously.

Varys pondered for a while, then said: "The War of the Reavers. No, during the Robert Rebellion, the flames of war were raging and smoke was everywhere. At that time, my little bird couldn't accurately deliver the news."

"Miss Lyanna gave birth to a child for Prince Rhaegar in the Tower of Bliss in Dorne. His Royal Highness the Wolf brought the boy back and raised him as an illegitimate child in Winterfell. Ah! How great this is Darling!"

"The child of Lyanna and Prince Rhaegar, Jon is half direwolf and half dragon. He is truly the brother of ice and fire."

"Over the years, even the little bird I planted in Winterfell hasn't noticed anything unusual."

Prince Aegon snorted softly, "Jon doesn't look like a Targaryen, the real Targaryen must have silver hair and purple eyes, like me."

Tyrion teased: "In Rees, you can find many people with silver hair and purple eyes. Are they all Targaryen? In the history of Westeros, some Targaryen have black hair, the most typical one is the Spearbreaker Baelor, he inherited the looks of his mother, Princess Dorne."

"Miss Lyanna has black hair. Jon looks like his mother, not his father, and it's normal."

Prince Aegon was not convinced, "Having said that, the Brokenspear is just an exception. In history, the Targaryens who sat on the Iron Throne were all silver-haired without exception."

After speaking, Prince Aegon tossed his silver hair triumphantly.

"I think Jon Snow's identity as Prince Targaryen is probably fabricated! Is there any real evidence?"

Ed smiled and said, "Yes, by pretending to be the son of Prince Rhaegar, you can use tricks to attack the Iron Throne."

"Prince Aegon, I am very curious. Everyone knew that Prince Aegon was smashed to death on the wall of the Red Keep by the Magic Mountain, and you, who appeared on the other side of the narrow sea, have any substantial evidence to prove that you are the real Aegon. Where is Prince Geng?"

Varys hurriedly laughed and said, "Your Highness, the identity of Prince Aegon is so sensitive and important, how could I lie about this kind of issue?"

"I believe that Prince Jon's identity is real, and Prince Aegon's identity is beyond doubt. But the problem is, even if Jon is Prince Rhaegar's son, Prince Rhaegar's wife at that time was Elia. Prince Rhaegar The child born to Lyanna, even if it is her own, can only be an illegitimate child!"

Ed said: "No, at the Tower of Bliss in Dorne, Arthur Dane, the Sword of Dawn, told me that Prince Rhaegar terminated his marriage with Elia through the church in Dorne, and married Leah in secret. Anna."

"That's why Jero Hightower, the White Bull of the Kingsguard, Oswell He'an, and Arthur Dayne, the Sword of Dawn, will guard Lyanna at the Tower of Bliss until the last moment of their lives."

Prince Oberyn, the Red Viper, pushed his way through the crowd.

"Prince Rhaegar took away tens of thousands of warriors in Dorne, and in the bloody battle on the Trident River, Your Highness Wolf, if what you said is true, Prince Rhaegar abandoned Ilia, married your sister, and brought Dorne Many Dorne warriors, including my uncle Prince Lewyn of Dorne, fell at the Trident.

"Rhaegar abandons his wife and children and drains the blood of the Dornish warriors. What kind of wolfish behavior is this?"

Prince Aegon said: "Uncle Oberyn, this is just a one-sided statement of the wolf king Eddard. Even if there is, it is the Dawn Excalibur lying."

"This is an insult to my father, Prince Rhaegar, and I will never allow it."

Prince Oberyn never believed that Prince Aegon from the other side of the Narrow Sea was his nephew. Prince Oberyn traveled to the Free Cities all the year round and was a frequent visitor to Lys brothels. He knew that in Lys, Tyrosh and other places , it is easy to find people with silver hair and purple eyes.

In Harrenhal, Prince Aegon often courted Prince Oberyn and Larissa the Sand Snake, but the Dornish people always kept their nephews with suspicious identities at a respectful distance.

Prince Oberyn looked at Prince Aegon, "I don't know if you are a true dragon, just like Jon Snow on the back of this dragon."

"Perhaps, if the curse is lifted, I can go to Prince Rhaegar and ask for clarification."
