Chapter 694 Faithful and Traitorous

As soon as the problem appeared, Igor's heart sank a lot.

Daenerys doesn't use the word "pseudo-king" when describing Aegon, but "my nephew"!
This kind of detail can reveal many things, but one of the more obvious ones is that she doubts, if not completely, that the young silver-haired Prince might really be her nephew.

Probably because the war ended too quickly and smoothly—so that the fake king was suppressed before she could cause great trouble and substantial damage to her interests, and that subconscious "bloodline family affection" also It was not exhausted by hostility.

Under this premise, hesitation and hesitation, not knowing how to deal with each other, is understandable.

In Westeros, rebellion has yet to evolve into a deadly high-voltage line.

Te Niang, I had known that the West Expedition would not be so desperate.

Three years and five years, the country has been divided for dozens of months and become devastated... When Daenerys oneself ruled on the verge of collapse, she definitely wanted to kill the little Aegon more than anyone else, it was impossible mysterious and secretive to discuss with him "what to do with my nephew".

Although he was muttering in his heart, Igor had the gentle expression of a close friend on his face. He slowly nodded serious and solemnly, and kicked the ball gently towards the rolling ball.

“What about Your Majesty oneself idea?”

“Don’t be sloppy.” Daenerys sneered unpleasantly.

"Understood." Igor expressed doubts, but if the Queen really asked, he was impossible and polite, "Your Majesty can ask this question, he must already know: if little Aegon is not dead, you will rule the stability. He will be bewitched and manipulated by his own Gu Qiwang and people with ulterior motives at any time, and he will do stupid things again." He sighed sincerely, "It's a pity I didn't kill him on the battlefield. Killing, puts Your Majesty in a dilemma. So now I have to ask, are you afraid of the 'Kinslayer' notoriety, or do you really have kindness and affection for this person? If it is the former, you are willing to dirty your hands for Your Majesty , and if it's the latter..."

He didn't say anything, and frowned and made an embarrassed expression.

Daenerys also sighed, slowing down even walking side by side.

Igor didn't kick the ball back to her satisfaction, but she still didn't understand oneself's intentions, which made her a little irritable.

"There is a way to solve this problem - join the Church and convert to Seven... Red God, or put on black clothed to become Night's Watch, in short, forever give up the line of succession, don't you have to die?"

Queen didn't answer the question, but Igor still got the answer: Daenerys is not afraid of the reputation of "Kinslayer", but afraid of actually killing oneself's last relative.

(The real Aegon Targaryen was fooled by me to keep watch at the Wall, what is going on with this fake, the hell knows!)
But I can’t say this because he has no evidence .

Igor breathes deeply, throat rolling up and down.

Having multiple identities can sometimes lead to some weird complications, such as the situation oneself is facing right now.

He'll have to go through a lot of testing and play dumb to figure out which "oneself" Daenerys is looking for.

And now, the worst has happened.

The Queen called him out of the tent tonight to talk...

Not talking to the [Number One Supporter] or [Hand of the Queen] about what to do with the enemy leader;
Instead, she came to apply to the [Lord Commander of the Night's Watch] - to protect her nephew who committed troubles.

If there is only the latter identity, facing the Queen's personal opening of Yukou, he will definitely not hesitate, and immediately agree to even personally go to arrange, arrange, and even pick up people, just like he did to James at the beginning.

But now he is not only the leader of Night's Watch, but also the spokesperson of the "land-grant-northern system", and the second-in-command of the kingdom!
Daenerys thought of converting to religion and putting on black clothed, the two methods are theoretically feasible, but the fact that she ignored or deliberately ignored is: the efficacy of the two curses of religion and honor actually comes from inner morality , worldly vision and the deterrence of those in power at a higher level in one.

And among these three, the first two things are actually illusory, and only the last one is reliable and solid.

The simple explanation is: Usually, when a person who converts to religion or puts on black clothed decides to go back and break his oath, even if he himself is not ashamed of it, and he is not afraid of the rumors of the world Rumor has it that higher-level rulers such as kings will also take action for the stability of the ruling order, and investigate and punish such violations of public order and good customs.

Obviously, once this restriction is placed on the potential heir to the throne...or, to put it another way: the benefit of breaking the oath may be the throne itself, the supreme power itself, its binding will be weak to almost nothing.

Because the benefits and costs are completely disproportionate, mastering the throne can even adapt or create history to wash the past!

Black clothed can make someone like Aemon Targaryen wear it for a lifetime, only because he really doesn't want to be a king!
Whether little Aegon has the enlightenment and buddhism like Maester Aemon, Igor is not sure at all, and it is impossible to gamble.

The Prime Minister's silence made Daenerys feel the invisible pressure. Of course, she didn't realize how naive and ridiculous oneself's proposal was, and could only patch it nervously and eagerly: "It's impossible, we also Aegon Targaryen can be declared dead, privately exiled and ordered to change his name and never set foot on Westeros land again—"

"Your Majesty." Igor interrupted Daenerys' ramble did not hide his helplessness and opposition, "Most of your followers - including me - fought under the banner of 'supporting the orthodoxy of the True Dragon Dynasty', if you To spare the life of the fake king after this war is tantamount to declaring to the whole world that this is a warm family infighting, and it is an official endorsement for the authenticity of little Aegon's bloodline! This is worthy of the process of quelling the rebellion Are you among the dead soldiers? Everyone is still not sure whether Aegon is true or false, but after you come here, whether he is wearing a white robe red robe or black clothed, or even was banished to the Westeros. If you go out, you will always be one of the potential and powerful heirs of the dynasty bloodline de jure!"

Igor did not explain all the lines - this, for him, whether it is Yu Gong: as Prime Minister Considering the stability of the country; or selfishness: as a representative of a party, considering the interests of oneself and the group behind it, it is absolutely impossible to accept it.

Yes, never!

Little Aegon's Targaryen surname, to Queen himself, is a reason for soft-heartedness; but to anyone other than Queen, it is precisely why he must die!
…

Daenerys was a little disappointed.

Igor's reaction is reasonable, and oneself has long expected that he will object... But, even if you are mentally prepared, when you really find a little softness in oneself's heart, you can't get the support of anyone around you And agree, even when this man who is regarded as a confidant and comrade by oneself and has always been treated differently by her is no exception, strong helplessness, loss and grievance still emerge uncontrollably.

Following the string of negative emotions is a revolt that comes out of in the bones.

She felt the True Dragon's fury ignited deep within her.

This may be the son of oneself's revered brother, the last living blood relative of oneself with the same surname!
Of course, she will listen patiently and accept those obvious correct suggestions and tricks, and even criticisms, but——how to deal with the fake king who is suspected of being oneself's nephew, there is no clear right and wrong. ?
It's not your blood that flows in the bones, of course you don't feel bad!

The two dragons were placed in a clearing a hundred meters away from the center of the camp. The surrounding Reach camp had already been dismantled. When the Queen and her Prime Minister walked side by side and stopped briefly, they were burying their heads. Grabbing the cattle and sheep sent by Daenerys, sensing the True Dragon breath on Igor, he lifted the head curiously.

"I hope to have your support, Igor." Daenerys cocked his neck slightly in front of the open-air dragon house, covering up the grievances and choking in his voice, "but if you insist on objection out of reason, I have no choice but to order you here in the name of Queen, that Aegon Targaryen must be captured alive, and his fate shall be judged and judged by me!"

A familiar sense of displeasure immediately lingered on Igor's In his heart, it took him several seconds to understand where this familiarity came from: in the original world, whenever his girlfriend made trouble without reason, such annoyance would arise in his stomach. However, anger is anger, in most cases, as long as the man doesn't want to break up, most of them will still suppress the unhappiness and go to hold and coax.

Little Aegon must die for the good of oneself.

Don't say he's probably fake, even if it's real, it's useless.

Jesus couldn't keep him either, I said!
Igor killing intent has been resolved, but at this time I remembered another troublesome thing I encountered before crossing.

There was once a neighbor who insisted that the renovation was not carried out according to the legal time, and woke the neighbors upstairs and downstairs from their dreams countless times early in the morning. Good words and persuasion are useless. After arguing, complaining and even calling the police, they are only slightly restrained. In the end, the wicked will be rewarded. Not only the glass is broken, but the tires are also deflated...

The matter is here. It was very pleasing, but then this person insisted that it was Igor who did these things (because he had the most door-to-door negotiations about noise), and made a lot of noise to ask him to admit his mistake and compensate, although in the end it was dismissed because there was no evidence, still Success nausea bothered him for a long time.

It's not a big thing, but the "real murderer" who was hidden in the dark and never exposed made Igor comprehended a truth, that is: if you make up your mind to take hostile actions, it's best to do it in addition to the actual Don't say anything superfluous and do superfluous things other than action.

With Igor's current power and position within the faction, he can stand his ground, speak out, argue with Daenerys, and even quarrel.

But if she did that, it would be good to convince the Queen to make her back down in the end. If not, and the Queen insisted on her own way, she could forcefully stop the pursuit of little Aegon by virtue of her subordinate status, and replace the one who obeyed the order. The trusted troops will complete the second half of the war without difficulty... Then, no matter what clever means oneself uses to "accidentally die" little Aegon, the Queen will suspect him.

Looking at Daenerys' stiff expression, Igor really didn't have the confidence to convince her.

He didn't dare to forget that in front of oneself was a noble, intelligent, beautiful, potential psychopath with the Mad King gene.

After some mental journey, Igor made up his mind.

"Your Majesty." He sighed in a firm but unwilling voice, "reasonable and responsible, I have to hold back my disapproval. But at the same time, I also clearly remember: you were the one who cut it in Winterfell. The bloodletting of my wrists took the poison out of me. My life is Your Majesty's, even if you climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of fire. You are making a dangerous and wrong decision, but If you have fully figured out the benefits and risks, and finally decided to bear the consequences of doing so and accept the risks of doing so... Then, I would like to stand behind Your Majesty from start to finish, accompany you and help you solve your problems. Together against any difficulties and enemies, until the last moment of life."

?

days!
This is too warm.

Daenerys was caught off guard by the sudden change in attitude.

She is a strong and iron-blooded Dragon Queen, but she is still a woman, and for a woman, there is nothing more comforting than the occasional willfulness that can be accepted and pampered by a man trusted by oneself. Woolen cloth?
Not to mention, this tenderness comes from a Night's Watch guy who is known for being tough and ruthless even more than hers!

Say thank you? Not in line with identity, and too out-of-the-ordinary.

No indication or even feel as it should be by rights? Then she's not that stupid.

oneself only saved Igor's life once, and it was almost without risk.

But what he has done for oneself has far exceeded his peers, reaching a level that makes her unable to reciprocate!

The night wind in the spring is still cold, but the little Queen's face is inexplicably hot, and she sucks her nose, which is wet for some reason. Bewildered.

Feeling the change in mother's mentality, Green Dragon Rhaegal, who was closer to the two, stretched his long neck and brought his head closer, while blowing Dany's face with his breath, he glanced at Igor again, trying to understand Why does he have such an inexplicable powerful aura.

Daenerys raised his hands that had nowhere to put and scratched Rhaegal's nose, but he still couldn't relieve the blankness in his mind and didn't know what to say. Suddenly got an idea.

"Igor, have you ever thought about riding a dragon?"
