Blood of the True Dragon

Chapter 5
Early the next morning, Illyrio found Aegon, who was full of dark circles.

He naturally already knew what happened last night, and he even thought that Aegon couldn't bear Daenerys's temptation, so he sneaked into Daenerys' room that night so impatiently.

But he didn't think there was anything wrong with Aegon's behavior. At most, the young dragon didn't know how to control his desires. After all, in his eyes, Aegon would definitely marry Daenerys.

So all the news from last night was banned from spreading.

"Your Majesty, maybe you need to go to the port to inspect your guards, and check the gold and jewelry in the merchant ship, so that you can buy enough Unsullied!"

Illyrio knew that Aegon was going to buy some Unsullied and start a revolution, so he also took out most of his savings for many years.

Before becoming the governor of Pentos, Illyrio was a poor assassin until he met Varys (now the head of intelligence of the Seven Kingdoms) - a beggar who made a living by begging.

The two became friends and started a new business together - Varys stealing things from thieves, and Illyrio giving them to their owners in exchange for payment.

Soon people who lost valuables in Pentos knew to turn to them to retrieve their lost belongings.

In addition, the thieves of Pentos also sought them, half to kill them, but these people failed, and the other half to help them sell their stolen goods.

So later they can run the market without stealing from thieves.

The two have accumulated a lot of wealth through this.

Illyrio gradually became the governor of Pentos. Although there are many governors in Pentos, the position still represents very powerful power and wealth.

Ten merchant ships and fifty strong slave soldiers are ready at the port of Pentos.

"Your Majesty, this is Belwas, he is the strongest slave here, if anyone wants to steal your treasury, he will cut off his hands for you.

He will kill all enemies for you! "

As Illyrio spoke, he introduced Aegon to a tall, tan-skinned eunuch.

He has a strong build, with arms as thick as a tree trunk, a broad chest, and a big belly. The chest and stomach are covered with scars. It is because he always gives his opponents a chance before dying. Cut him down.

He once fought in the arenas of Meereen, and earned the title of "Strong Belwas," and it is said that he never lost a match.

Aegon saw that the eyes of the strong man in front of him lit up. This guy is definitely one of the top fighters. In the original book, this guy is still a nimble fat guy. He even shitted on the enemy after winning.

"I am willing to serve you, Your Majesty!" Belwas knelt on one knee to express his submission.

Daenerys had a peaceful dream. She dreamed of the red-painted wooden door when she was a child. The kind old man always called her "little princess" affectionately. Then she dreamed of the blue-haired girl. young people.

When Daenerys woke up, Aegon had already left, and she glanced at the chair next to her before she lifted the quilt covering her body.

If all goes well, today should be a brand new start.

Daenerys went to the window and opened the casement window, the blue sky outside the house came into view, the sea was sparkling in the distance, and a group of children were playing at the foot of the city wall. At this moment, she wanted to be as unrestrained as they were, forgetting the past and future.

"Your Royal Highness!" The maid outside the door pushed open the door and wanted to help Daenerys get dressed.

"Yi, oh no, where is the king?"

"Your Majesty has gone to the port, and the governor is asking him to count the troops."

Daenerys heard the words and looked towards the distant port. Illyrio's courtyard could overlook the entire Pentos, so she still found the group of sculpture-like black spots among the chaotic crowd.

"I'm going to see too!"

Aegon, who was at the port, had already finished reading the jewels Illyrio had prepared for him. His only doubt now was how many Unsullied they could buy.

Although he didn't think about buying it in the past, if he couldn't pull those Unsullied people to the square, the rebellion would probably have a big problem.

Because the Unsullied only know how to obey, never resist.

"If possible, I think we should ask for more gold." Aegon turned his head and said.

"Your Majesty, I will prepare more merchant ships in the next two days, but I don't recommend too many, otherwise it will easily lead to robbery by pirates.

And we don't have enough mercenaries now!Believe me, the jewels on these ten merchant ships are enough to buy six thousand Unsullied. "

Only then did Aegon understand how much money the goods had given him. In the original book, the man only gave Daenerys three merchant ships, which were only enough to buy two thousand Unsullied.

Sure enough, there is still a difference between closeness and distance!
"His Majesty!"

Daenerys' voice came from behind.

Aegon turned his head to look only to find that the other party had already changed into a lavender robe today, and he looked very outstanding. Even Illyrio's eyes flashed with longing when he looked at her.

"I heard that you are going to Slaver's Bay?" Daenerys walked forward and said to Aegon.

The most beautiful woman in the legend flashed her violet eyes, and her smile made the mercenaries present jealous of Aegon.

But these people know that women like Daenerys are not within their reach.

"Yes, I will buy an army so I can return to Westeros and kill the usurpers! Dany, you will be with me!"

Although strictly speaking, he also has Targaryen blood, but as a descendant of Targaryen's illegitimate son (his real mother is a descendant of an illegitimate son), Aegon didn't know whether he could hatch dragons, so he planned to take Daenerys as well. bring it on.

If you can't do it yourself, the Mother of Dragons can!

Daenerys has put down her guard against Aegon at this moment: "Then do I need to prepare anything?"

"No need, just take the maid and leave with me."

"Your Majesty, a knight is looking for you!"

While the few people were chatting, another message came from the attendant, and then they saw a middle-aged strong man with dark skin, thick hair but bald head walking over.

"Your Majesty, Knight Jorah Mormont is at your service!"

Although the armor on his body was a bit thick, Jorah's movements were still very smooth, and there was no sense of stagnation at all.

Aegon looked at the dragon mother's number one licking dog in front of him, and then he realized the complete plan of Illyrio and the others.

Jorah Mormont came to Long Ma's side to be a traitor in order to get a pardon, but Varys (the intelligence chief) still passed Daenerys' news to the usurper Robert.

You know, Varys and Illyrio are on the same side. Illyrio helped Long Ma restore the country, and Varys betrayed Long Ma to let an assassin assassinate her.

This is inherently contradictory.

So the original logic is correct.

These two scheming bitches, Illyrio, just want to kill Dragon Mother, and then let Drogo Khal take his Dothraki cavalry to Westeros for revenge, so as to weaken the strength of the Seven Kingdoms and assist Aegon to take the throne .

It's just that they didn't expect Jorah Mormont to fall in love with Daenerys directly.

This made Illyrio's plan come to naught.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to introduce you. This knight of Jorah was once the bravest knight in the Seven Kingdoms. He even won the championship of the tournament!"

Seeing that Aegon hesitated, Illyrio immediately helped to explain.

Aegon was noncommittal to his words, but Jon Connington, who had been staying by his side, finally said at this moment: "Are you a knight fighting for the usurper Robert?"

"Your Majesty, this Jorah knight made a small mistake in the Seven Kingdoms. They actually wanted to chop off his head. That's why they wanted to go after your real dragon."

Jorah Mormont actually sold a group of poachers who stole his lands as slaves, but in Westeros, slave trade is a felony.

So his lord, Ned Stark, the Guardian of the North, will take him to Winterfell and behead him.

For this judgment, Illyrio only felt that the laws of the Seven Kingdoms were too fussy, and property was sacred and inviolable.

And Jorah Mormont was now his test for Aegon.

He was not at all worried that Jorah's information would reach Robert.

"Knight Jorah, I now make you the princess guard of Princess Daenerys. You are responsible for protecting her safety and fighting for her until the last moment."

"Your Majesty, I will always be at your disposal!"

After Jorah Mormont finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Daenerys next to him. At this moment, he fell hopelessly in love with the young princess.
