Chapter 241 Rumors

A rumor spread quickly.

Yesterday, Viserys briefly introduced little Aegon's identity at a family dinner, but the news leaked out for no apparent reason.

The next day, it spread in a small area in the city of Pantos, but the speed of the spread was very slow, and it did not cause any uproar.

After all, the people of Pentos were still a little unfamiliar with Viserys, and they were even more at a loss for a nephew who popped out of nowhere.

However, it will be a month later when this matter really ferments.

…

Then, another month passed.

Viserys has been in Pentos for two months since 'Scarlet Night'.

Pantos gradually came out of the haze of the bloody night two months ago, and slowly began to restore normal order. People seem to have forgotten that a ruler has been replaced above their heads.

At this time, the rumors about little Aegon gradually fermented and gradually spread to Viserys' ears.

These rumors are roughly divided into several versions. Some people say that this young Aegon who was picked up suddenly is Jon Clinton's own bastard son.

Others say he is a Valyrian remnant that Illyrio found nowhere.

After all, there are a large number of silver-haired and purple-eyed people in Volantis, Rhys and other places. These are all people who survived the natural disaster of the end of Valyria.

The last argument is that little Aegon is Illyrio's own illegitimate son. After all, he gave little Aegon to Jon Clinton. 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 'rat' who were biting their tongues were arrested, it was too long to trace the source. .

Then Jon Clinton also heard the news that Viserys was conducting a thorough investigation, and hurried to the palace at the top of the Nine Towers overnight and explained to Viserys in person.

"This must be a usurper's conspiracy!"

"His Majesty!"

…

Jon explained to Viserys in a daze.

And this rumor is still fermenting, spread across the ocean to King's Landing on the other side of the Narrow Sea, and placed in front of King Robert's desk.

The people at the table looked at each other in dismay.

This news was provided by Varys, the Minister of Intelligence, but the rounded bald head was complaining in his heart.

Many of you here are witnesses to what happened many years ago.

The former Prime Minister Jon Arryn turned his head frequently 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 Ilya Martell, a matter known to many throughout the Seven Kingdoms.

However, Princess Elia couldn't find someone to replace her, but a baby could easily be lost.

And Ser Gregor Clegane didn't know little Aegon either, he just rushed in and snatched the child in the woman's arms and threw it against the wall and fell to his death.

Afterwards, Duke Tywin was the first to arrive. Although he had seen little Aegon with his own eyes, he had no way of identifying the corpse of a baby whose head had been smashed to pieces.

Then Tywin wrapped the corpses of Elia's mother and son in his golden-red cloak and dedicated it to Robert Baratheon, who had just entered the city.

After that, everyone acquiesced to the fact that Ilya and her son were dead.

And the Targaryen's remnant is in addition to Aemon Targaryen, who has been forgotten by the world, serving on the Wall.

Only Queen Layla, who fled with the second prince Viserys at that time, was left, and Viserys stretched out his hand and pulled Renice onto the carriage before being put on the carriage to escape, which was equivalent to saving the girl's life. She was spared bad luck.

This has been a dusty past for many years.

With the exception of Tywin and Varys, who had experienced it firsthand, everyone, including Robert and Jon Arryn, thought it was all done.

I didn't expect a sudden reversal at this time.

But Aegon's sudden 'resurrection' doesn't actually change anything else for the current Iron Throne situation.

Because at the moment the pillar of support for House Targaryen is Viserys.

The second prince of the former Targaryen dynasty raised a banner on the continent of Essos, and the east and west battles downed a vast territory.

The generals and soldiers under his command did not come for the Targaryen brand, but Viserys' personal influence and strength.

So Aegon's presence was just a reassurance for Viserys before he left any heir.

And when Viserys left an heir, then 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 didn't come out early or late, and now he suddenly jumped out just to get a piece of the pie.

However, Viserys, who knew the matter thoroughly, adopted a more tactful approach.

Even if he didn't look at Jon's face, he also had to consider Reness' feelings and his brother Rhaegar, and he couldn't slash Aegon as soon as he jumped out.

He couldn't prove that Aegon was really Aegon, but there was no evidence to deny it directly. What if he was real?

And he didn't just jump out of one person and claimed to be Aegon. Jon Clinton, Illyrio and Varys were also involved in his back. Viserys should at least keep him first. down.

No matter what era it was, bearing the title of 'Kinister' was no more upright than Jaime Lannister's 'Kingslayer'.

If he really finds any reason to slash Aegon with a knife, he will be publicized by the hated Varys or the intelligence forces of the Iron Throne and the rest of the Free Cities.

I'm afraid that by then Viserys' reputation would be completely ruined and notorious.

Therefore, the sudden appearance of this matter was a kind of test for Viserys to face, but fortunately, he dealt with it fairly well, and finally regained the initiative back into his own hands.

And the forces behind little Aegon were provoked by the rumors, and were finally easily marginalized by Viserys.

And at the time when Pantos and King's Landing were raging because of some rumors.

The far end of the Dothraki Sea.

In the city of Vis Dothraki, this is the only city of the Dothraki people. It is located under the Virgin Mountain and next to the lake of the "Womb of the World", also known as the "City of Horse Kings".

This vast and huge city is the same as Andalos. It also has no walls as a defense. It is full of slaves plundered by the Dothraki. wife manages.

now.

In the city of Vis Dothraki, on the Avenue of the Gods, which runs through the entire city.

A group of majestic Ka LS is passing through it, and the two sides of the road are filled with the ruins of gods from all over the world that the Dothraki people have conquered and looted for thousands of years.

The leader of the Kaa was tall and mounted on a warhorse, and behind his horse's butt was a man with a wobbly figure who was staggering and eating dirt.
