Yesterday, Viserys briefly introduced the identity of young Aegon at the family dinner, but this news was leaked out somehow.
The next day, it spread to a small area in the city of Pentos, but it spread very slowly and did not cause any uproar.
After all, the people of Pentos were still a little unfamiliar with Viserys, and they were even more confused when his nephew appeared out of nowhere.
However, it was already a month later when this matter really took off.
…
Then, another month passed.
Viserys had been in Pentos for two months since the Bloody Night.
Pentos gradually emerged from the haze of the bloody night two months ago and slowly began to return to normal order. People seemed to have forgotten that a ruler had changed above their heads.
At this time, the rumors about little Aegon gradually became more and more intense and reached Viserys's ears.
These rumors are generally divided into several versions. Some people say that the little Aegon picked up suddenly is Jon Connington's own illegitimate son.
Others say that he is a Valyrian remnant that Illyrio found somewhere.
After all, there are still a large number of people with silver hair and purple eyes in Volantis, Lys and other places. These are the people who survived the Valyrian Doomsday Disaster.
The last theory is that Little Aegon is Illyrio's own illegitimate son. After all, it was he who gave Little Aegon to Jon Connington. As for where he found Little Aegon, it is unknown.
When these rumors reached the ears of Viserys, he ordered a thorough investigation of the source of the rumors. However, although a few tongue-biting 'rats' were captured, too much time had passed and it was impossible to trace the source.
,
Later, Jon Connington also heard the news that Viserys was investigating thoroughly, and hurried to the palace at the top of the Nine Towers overnight to explain to Viserys face to face.
"This must be a conspiracy of the usurper!"
"His Majesty!"
…
Jon explained to Viserys anxiously.
But this rumor continued to ferment, and spread across the ocean to King's Landing on the other side of the Narrow Sea, where it was placed in front of King Robert's desk.
This information was provided by Intelligence Minister Wallis, but the bald man with a round body was complaining in his heart.
Many of you here have witnessed what happened many years ago.
The Prime Minister Jon Arryn frequently turned his head to look at Varys, with an undisguised suspicion in his eyes.
Prince Rhaegar's eldest son Aegon Targaryen was killed by the Mountain, and at the same time he raped and killed Elia Martell. Many people in the Seven Kingdoms knew about this.
However, Princess Ilia cannot be replaced, but a baby can still be easily lost.
And Ser Gregor Clegane didn't know little Aegon. He just rushed in and snatched the child from the woman's arms and threw it against the wall to death.
Afterwards, Lord Tywin was the first to arrive. Although he had seen little Aegon with his own eyes, he had no way to identify the corpse of a baby whose head was smashed to pieces.
Tywin then wrapped the bodies of Elia and her son in his golden-red cloak and presented them to Robert Baratheon, who had just entered the city.
After that, everyone accepted the fact that Ilia, mother and son, were dead.
The only remaining Targaryens are Aemon Targaryen, who served on the Wall and has been forgotten by the world.
Only Queen Layla was left, who had fled with her second prince Viserys. Before Viserys was put on the carriage and fled, he reached out and pulled Rhaenys into the carriage, which was equivalent to saving the girl's life.
She was saved from bad luck.
This matter has been a dusty past event for many years.
Except for Tywin and Varys who experienced this incident personally, everyone including Robert and Jon Arryn believed that the matter had been settled long ago.
I never expected that a sudden reversal would occur at this time.
However, Aegon's sudden 'resurrection from the dead' actually has no other changes to the current situation on the Iron Throne.
Because the current pillar supporting the Targaryen family is Viserys.
The former second prince of the Targaryen dynasty raised a banner in the continent of Essos, conquering a vast territory through campaigns from east to west.
The army generals and soldiers under him did not come here for the Targaryen brand, but for Viserys's personal influence and strength.
Therefore, Aegon's appearance was just a reassurance for his men before Viserys left any heirs.
And after Viserys left an heir, Aegon could only continue to be marginalized and become a dispensable person.
This can't be said to be a good thing for the Iron Throne, but it can't be said to be a bad thing either.
Everyone knew that Aegon would come out sooner or later, and now he suddenly jumped out just to get a piece of the pie.
However, Viserys, who knew everything about this matter, adopted a more diplomatic approach.
Even if he didn't care about Jon's face, he still had to consider the feelings of Rhaenys and his brother Rhaegar, and he couldn't let Aegon be chopped down by him as soon as he jumped out.
He couldn't prove that Aegon was really Aegon, but he had no evidence to directly deny it. What if he was true?
And he didn't just pop up and claim to be Aegon. Behind him were Jon Clinton, Illyrio, Varys and many others. Viserys had to at least keep him alive first.
Come down.
No matter what era it is in, bearing the title of "Kinkiller" is no more upright than Jaime Lannister's "Kingslayer".
If he really found a reason to kill Aegon with a knife, he would be publicized by Varys, the Iron Throne, and other intelligence forces of the Free Trade Cities who held a grudge.
I'm afraid that by that time, Viserys' reputation was completely ruined and became infamous.
Therefore, the sudden appearance of this incident was a direct test for Viserys, but fortunately, he dealt with it fairly well and finally regained the initiative in his own hands.
The forces behind Little Aegon were offended by the rumors, and were eventually easily marginalized by Viserys.
At the time when Pentos and King's Landing were abuzz due to certain rumors.
Far beyond the Dothraki Sea.
Vaes Dothraki City is the only city of the Dothraki people. It is located under the Virgin Mountain and next to the "Womb of the World" lake. It is also called the "City of the Horse King".
This vast city is the same as Andalus. It also has no walls for defense. It is filled with slaves plundered by the Dothraki. The entire city is led by 'Doshkarim', the Khals who have died before.
Wife management.
now.
In the city of Vaes Dothraki, it is on the Avenue of the Gods that runs through the entire city.
A team of majestic khalasars were walking through it. Both sides of the road were lined with relics of the gods that the Dothraki had conquered and plundered from various places over thousands of years.
The leader, the tall Kaa, was riding on a war horse, and behind his horse's butt was a man with a wretched figure who was stumbling around eating dirt.
