Extra Story: Chapter Fourteen: The Faceless Organization
After learning about her life experience, Daenerys had some mixed feelings in her heart.
The knowledge that once only existed in books seemed to suddenly become very close, and the weight of history hit me.
It turns out that many famous figures in history are actually my ancestors.
"By the way, one more thing, Dani."
Seeing that her granddaughter was stunned for a long time, it wasn't until she regained consciousness that Daenerys' grandmother looked into her eyes and spoke in a solemn tone.
"You have the purest Targaryen bloodline, and your bloodline characteristics are amazing."
Daenerys's silver-gold hair is like flowing molten silver, and her lavender eyes are like magnificent gems.
All this amazed the old lady, so although she had been hiding the other party for so many years, she had already made plans in her heart.
"Have you heard all the stories I told you just now?"
Daenerys nodded slightly when she heard her grandmother's words.
"But House Targaryen and House Targaryen are not the same."
Then old Mrs. Florent's tone changed and she spoke.
The old lady's real name is Daniela Tagery, which is slightly similar in pronunciation to Daenerys's name, but they are actually two completely different words, and Daenerys.
And because of historical reasons, in the history of the Targaryen family, there are especially many women named Danila and Daenerys.
Even in the current era of the Tagre family, the oldest royal bloodline of the family still continues the naming rules of many ancestors.
For example, sitting next to me now, Daniela's brother is the world-famous film and television star Damon Tagli.
Therefore, Daenerys's maternal grandmother, Daniela, was once a high-status and high-ranking eldest lady in the Targary family.
Daniela's original destiny would be to be the first in line to inherit her father's power and become the new generation leader of the huge Tagli family.
But it is a pity that the girl's fate changed drastically in the year of her eighteenth-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, and she completely took a different path.
Because Daenerys's maternal grandmother Daniela was admitted to her favorite university this year, and met her current husband Arad Florent during her college years.
Then Daniella, the eldest lady of the Tagli family, fell deeply in love and couldn't extricate herself.
The two had a bad relationship from the beginning when they were classmates. Daenerys's grandfather Arad could not stand Daniela's eldest lady behavior at that time, and Daniela also looked down on Arad who came from a humble background and was honest and honest.
But fate is unpredictable, a combination of circumstances, and a series of stories that happened later brought two people who were not supposed to be together in the end to come together.
Then Daniela went against her father's will and the family's tradition and insisted on marrying her college classmate Arad Florent. Daniela's brother Damon also supported his sister's "misbehavior", and finally the two siblings
They left the family together.
"The Targaryens and the Targaryens are not the same?"
Daenerys asked with some confusion after hearing her grandmother's words.
"That's right."
"The Targaryens were the rulers of the ancient empire thousands of years ago, but today's Targaryen family... all of them are thinking about how to regain the glory of their ancestors."
The gray-haired old lady snorted softly and spoke in a low tone.
Since the collapse of the empire, the remnants of House Targaryen have fled to many places to hide their names. However, after so many years, they have always harbored a common ambition in their minds.
That is to restore the glory of the family that ruled half the planet during the Valyrian Empire.
But in fact, anyone with a clear head or who has studied history knows that the empire is just the only one, and its existence and rule have many accidental elements. After the collapse of the empire, it is almost impossible for another empire to rise again to rule such a huge world.
territory.
The people of Westeros can't do it, nor can the Dothraki or the Ghiscari, because they don't have dragons.
And it has also been shown in subsequent history. Everyone misses the peace and unity that lasted for thousands of years during the empire's rule. Every king dreams of becoming the ruler of the empire and claims to be a descendant of the ancient empire, but no one wants to
I want the empire to truly reappear.
In the 10,000 years after the collapse of the empire, there was no shortage of talented monarchs and generals. However, each of them won repeated battles, expanded their territory to a certain extent, and had faint signs of reviving the empire, and would attract the attention of a series of enemies around them.
Encirclement and suppression.
Both enemies and allies will turn against each other and join forces to stifle these dangerous signs.
Therefore, everyone misses the Empire, but no one wants to bring it back.
The descendants of House Targaryen have tried countless times over the years, but none of them have succeeded.
They once briefly rebuilt the country, but their appearance with silver hair and purple eyes attracted even more fierce backlash from the outside world.
In the end, it led to several tragic defeats, and even nearly cut off the family's inheritance.
In addition to these attacks on the surface, hidden arrows hiding in the dark are even more difficult to prevent.
According to the internal records of the Targaryen family, as early as the most glorious period of the empire, there was a force hidden under the water that extended its black hand to them.
These people are dedicated to assassinating the emperor and important heirs of the empire, etc.
Even in history, the mysterious disappearance of many princes and the sudden death of emperors were related to the assassinations of this force.
During the great purge after the collapse of the empire, everyone thought that all the remnants of the Targaryen family had been strangled, but only this force was like a dog with a sharp nose, chasing after the scent.
They are the once famous Faceless Men organization.
This is a religious assassin group who believe in the Thousand Faced God.
Needless to say, the grievances between the Targaryen family or the Valyrian people and the faceless men.
Therefore, the Tagari family later launched a protracted battle with the Faceless Men organization.
Among them, key members of the Targri family were assassinated, but there were also cases where the lair of the Faceless Men was taken away overnight, and the corpses of all the killers were stripped of their masks and hung on trees in protest.
And this battle continues to this day.
In the history of the Targre family, there was a heroic and talented hero who led the people on the continent of Westeros to revolt, overthrew the decadent feudal dynasty, and successfully established a democratic and free country.
The Tagli family also learned from the past lessons under the leadership of this founding father and went underground. They did not stand in the open and secretly controlled the country.
