Chapter 556 Prince Aegon
"Aegon?"
The name Aegon hadn't come to Viserys' ears for a long time.
In fact, there are two "Aegon" in this world, one is now called Aegon Targaryen, and the other is called Jon Snow.
Viserys went to see another 'Little Aegon', under other names.
King's Landing is now home to many people who were originally very important to the direction of history, such as Theon, who nominally has more inheritance rights to the Iron Islands than Euron Greyjoy.
The relationship between the boys of the Stark family is somewhat complicated. As the eldest son of the Duke of Winterfell, Robb Stark naturally has a high status among the brothers.
He loves his younger brother Brandon the most, and takes good care of his father's illegitimate son Jon Snow, but he despises his father's adopted son Theon, because he is not a real 'Stark'.
As an 'iron seed' living in a heap of wolves, Theon naturally did not dare to contradict Robb, but he despised Jon Snow a little, although it was not obvious.
Because he thinks that he will become the lord of Pike City in the future, and Robb will own Winterfell, and the two can be called brothers, but Jon Snow has nothing as an illegitimate child.
Overall, Jon Snow brings Viserys to the senses. This is a dark-haired, shy boy who wants to be recognized by his siblings but is frequently alienated because of his identity.
Viserys visited the boy, but did not take him.
The other, Aegon, claimed to be the younger brother of Rhaegar Targaryen and Rhaenys, the son of Princess Elia Martell of Dorne.
He had followed the army to King's Landing a long time ago, and he wanted to learn from his uncle the strategy of commanding the army, but Viserys did not take him with him.
As a result, Aegon could only stay in King's Landing and become a marginal person, unable to directly ascend the Iron Throne to control the government like his sister Renice.
Dorne also seems to be more supportive of his older sister Reness and Queen Arianne Martell, as daughters and sons have the same inheritance rights in Dorne.
Prior to the birth of Viserys' eldest daughter, Diana, Viserys designated Daenerys as greater in the line of succession than Renice over Aegon, and after the birth of Princess Diana, Aegon's line of succession was even lower.
In addition, Aegon's life experience has always been a mystery. There is no way to recognize relatives in this world. Silver hair and purple eyes are not a rare bloodline in Essos. It is difficult to make people just rely on empty words. convince.
Therefore, although Aegon has the title of Prince Targaryen, he has always been a marginalized person, and even some rumors of 'civet cats for princes' have been circulating, pointing out that Aegon is actually a 'false real dragon' '.
However, this Prince Aegon Targaryen did not have any spare time during his time in King's Landing. He received a good noble education since he was a child, so although Aegon was young, he also knew how to make friends with the local nobles in King's Landing. And being sympathetic to the people, he took out his pocket money to buy a lot of food and distributed it to the hungry people, which was loved by many people.
And it was at this time that Aegon got acquainted with the sparrows who were preaching in the slum. They recognized Aegon's benevolent behavior very much, and vaguely mentioned some bad things about his uncle.
For example, Viserys was disrespectful to the Seven Gods. He made his own claim to attract a religious invasion of Westeros from another continent, and Viserys launched a war to destroy the homes of many people, leaving them displaced and had to come to King's Landing to beg for food. .
But they never mentioned that Viserys single-handedly blocked the footsteps of the Night King, whether the soldiers of the human coalition were Robert, Stannis, Tywin Lannister, Eddard Stark, etc. And so there are the Dothraki.
Together, they fought off the White Walkers' invasion, kept the Legion of the Dead from crossing the Green Fork, and drove them back north of the Neck.
However, the sparrows believed that it was the work of the seven gods, that the gods heard the voices of the believers and then fought off the Other Ghosts and blessed the poor people.
These have nothing to do with a country with a strong comprehensive strength, the two kings who marched in person, and the countless soldiers who died on the battlefield.
Hearing the thoughts these sparrows had instilled in him, Aegon, although he was young, could instinctively sense something bad.
He found a random reason, and left the flea nest with the guards in a little panic, and he did not leave the Red Fort for several days, nor did he go to see these sparrows again.
However, a few days later, Aegon was surrounded by several sparrows when he was out. The guards were nervous to protect him, but these sparrows claimed that they did not have any malicious intentions, just that one person wanted to Just to meet Aegon.
And Aegon didn't know what was in his mind at the time, so he followed these sparrows to see that person.
It was a tall, thin old man with gray hair, and when Aegon came down under the guidance of the sparrows, the old man, who called himself the High Sparrow, had his back to them and was scrubbing his sackcloth.
And Aegon's guards couldn't help but put their palms on the hilt of their swords, and were waiting in full force, because this was the most mixed place in King's Landing, where thieves, robbers, prostitutes, etc. all gathered.
"Hello?"
Aegon said hello cautiously.
Then he saw the old man who was washing his clothes stopped for a while, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and then turned his head to look at Aegon.
"VIP, please find a place to sit and rest, and wait for the old man to finish his work."
Then he put down the laundry in his hand and threw it into a bucket to soak it, then placed the bucket in a corner and wiped his hands with a towel.
And Aegon nodded slightly when he heard what he said, then found a chair and sat down.
Afterwards, when the old man finished his work, he straightened his hunched waist and looked at Aegon with bright eyes.
"Welcome, heir to the Iron Throne."
Although the High Sparrow's eyes are cold but full of love, his voice is not pleasant but a little low and hoarse, but it is full of security.
He called the silver-haired boy in front of him the heir to the Iron Throne, which made Aegon's buttocks a little uneasy.
"Excuse me for interrupting, I think my uncle prefers my sister?"
Aegon hurriedly defended his words.
Viserys is well known in the court of Reness's love, and everyone thinks that Viserys has already appointed Renice as his heir, not to mention Princess Diana now.
There is no indication that Viserys is going to make Aegon the heir to the Iron Throne.
"Love is the taboo of responsibility."
However, the gray-haired old man just shook his head when he heard Aegon's words.
"The people salute the lord, the lord salutes the king, and the king and queen must salute the seven gods."
"According to the Bible of the Seven Gods, until your Majesty gives birth to a prince, you are the heir to the Iron Throne."
"Prince Aegon."
The High Sparrow looked at Aegon brightly and said.
