"Bran, I can't be king, and I won't marry Daenerys. She is my aunt. Jon accentuated his last sentence.

Jon, who grew up in the Stark family, accepted Eddard's principles of character and standards of honor, and it was a bottom line that he could never cross to make him and his relatives in the previous generation 'mess up'.

The traditions of House Targaryen and House Stark are very different.

Jon, on the other hand, has the blood of House Targaryen, but he grew up in House Stark. In his bones, he was already taught the etiquette and faith taught to him by the Stark family.

Bran looked at Jon, and he knew he had to make concessions. Jon is a man who can't be moved by profit, and he inherits Eddard Stark's pedantry and old-fashionedness.

"Jon, you don't want to marry Daenerys, but the stability of the Seven Kingdoms and the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people need your help. Winter is coming, and many civilians will freeze to death in the winter snow because of the lack of food and clothing brought about by the war. In order to support the northerners in their fight against the ghosts, the southerners brought a large amount of grain to Winterfell, and the underground tunnels of Winterfell were full of food from the southerners. And once winter comes, both the north and the south will need food. At this time, the war of hundreds of thousands of people is a real disaster. ”

Jon was silent!

"Father will be picking up the guests soon, and we can discuss it with him and see what he thinks. Bran moved out of Eddard Stark.

"Good!" Jon agreed.

Jon and Ed's relationship is father and son, and Ed's code is Jon's standard of conduct and conduct. Bran saw this very well. As soon as he mentioned Eddard, Jon's resistance waned.

Countless nobles are trying to climb up in any way, and Jon has a chance, but there is no real enthusiasm. Judging by his expression, he actually preferred to stay in the north. As for the Iron Throne of King's Landing, Jon didn't care too much about those strife.

It's just that, whoever it is, just mentioning that the Southerners have supported the Northerners in their war against the Wraiths will touch Jon's heart, and it will also touch Eddard Stark's heart.

The Stark family is a rare nobleman with integrity, justice, and conscience among the great nobles!

Night. The brazier was raging in the living room of the King of the North, and the room was shabby, but warm.

Most of the Northlanders live underground. The underground space is not suffocating, on the contrary, it is much warmer than the ground, and it also saves a lot of coals.

For 8,000 years, the people of the North have become accustomed to living underground in the dead of winter. In their underground rooms, the ventilation, lighting, and drainage are all done well, forming a mature building system.

In the living room are Eddard Stark, King of the North, Catelyn Tully, Bran Stark, Jon Targaryen, and Earl Gavin Westerling.

It was a small gathering, a small gathering after dinner, and it was suggested by Bran Stark, who had something to say to them.

"Father. Bran spoke, "I want to say a few important things that everyone should be concerned about, and if anything is wrong, please father and mother don't blame me." ”

Ed looked at Bran and didn't speak.

Caitlin Tully nodded lovingly. Bran became mature and calm, wise and far-sighted, and the only shortcoming was that the child lost his innocent happiness. Caitlin noticed that whenever she saw Bran, the child had a cold expression.

This tingled Caitlin Tully's heart, and she didn't want Bran to be what she was now.

Bran glanced around and saw that everyone was listening to him intently, so he continued, "Father, I want to tell my mother about Jon's origins, do you agree?"

Caitlyn's back stiffened, and her neck stiffened.

Regarding Jon Snow's background, mentioning it is a thorn in her heart. She didn't want to hear anything about Jon's mother, and she couldn't convince herself to accept Jon all along.

Ed glanced at Caitlyn and saw her stiffen expression, his gaze moved to Jon's, and after a brief eye exchange with Jon, Ed said, "Bran, it's up to him about Jon's background. If he agrees with you to say it, I have no opinion. ”

Jon noticed Lady Catelyn's discomfort, and he sighed inwardly, it was time for people to know that he was not an illegitimate child, and that he had been burdened with this dishonorable identity for more than ten years, and that he had endured the ridicule and humiliation of people for more than ten years, and that he had seen enough of Lady Catelyn's cold eyes.

Jon nodded to Bran.

Bran said, "Mother, Jon Snow's real name is Jon Targaryen, and he is the child of Rhaegar Targaryen and his aunt Lyanna Stark. ”

Caitlin Tully had already built a thick line of defense against the discomfort of the secret about Jon's mother, but Bran's words stunned her.

This...... This...... This...... Is it true?

Caitlin Tully felt her head boom, what was Bran talking about?Jon was the child of Rhaegar and Lyanna, not the illegitimate child of Ed and the other women?

Caitlyn was haunted by the fact that Ed had another woman outside, and the thought of that made her heart ache.

"Jon isn't an illegitimate child, Catelyn. Ed looked apologetically at his wife. In order to keep Jon's background a secret, Catelyn suffered eighteen years.

Eddard's hand wrapped around the slightly trembling Caitlyn's shoulder, and the frozen roughness of the man in the north revealed apologetic tenderness.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Caitlyn heard her voice with a hint of annoyance, more of a confused confusion.

"Mother. Bran's voice was calm, "In the year 281 of Aegon, Prince Rhaegar won the spear tournament in Harrenhal, and he placed a crown of purple roses, a symbol of love and beauty, on the head of his aunt Lyanna Stark, causing an uproar among the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms. At that time, Rhaegara's princess, Princess Elia Martell, was sitting next to Aunt Lyanna. This incident was the spark that led to the outbreak of the usurper's war. ”

Everyone was silent, Earl Gavin and Duke Eddard were both nobles present at the time, and they witnessed the big competition. Lord Eddard's brother, Brandon the Wolf, stands up on the spot and confronts Rhaegar for dishonoring the Starks.

Jon Targaryen was the first time he had heard about his father and mother, and he listened attentively, trying to learn as much as he could about his father and mother.

Bran paused for a moment: "Mother, in fact, before Rhaegar put the crown on Aunt Lyanna Stark's head, Prince Rhaegar and Princess Elia had secretly divorced, but due to the political marriage of the two families, Rhaegar and Elia both maintained a superficial marriage. ”

Earl Gavin, Duke Eddard, and Lady Caitlyn were all stunned.

They don't know about that.

Ed doesn't know much about this either, and he doesn't know anything about Rhaegar and Elia's divorce. The ones who are really very clear about this are the Magic Mountain and the other is Bran. At present, Jenny is also the one who knows the inside story best, and the magic mountain tells her all the secrets. Jane told all the secrets to Arya Stark.

"Rhaegar fell in love with Aunt Lyanna at first sight at the tournament, and Aunt Lyanna fell in love with Prince Rhaeggar. A year later, the two eloped, triggering the outbreak of the Usurper War. Rhaegar and Lyanna arrive at the Tower of Elysium in Dorne, where Rhaegar asks the Archbishop of the Old Town Church to officiate a simple wedding for them, and their marriage is legally valid. Their marriage was witnessed by Arthur Dayne, the Dawn Excalibur, and Ser Geralt Hightower, the Captain of the Kingsguard. ”

"Is all of this true, Bran?" said Caitlin at the sound of her own voice. She felt like she was dreaming.

"Mother, everything I say is true. In the library of the Starry Sanctuary in Old Town, the paperwork of Rhaegar and Aunt Lyanna's marriage is still preserved. The Archbishop of Old Town, who officiated at the wedding of Prince Rhaegar and Aunt Lyanna, is still alive. ”

The room became unusually quiet!

Caitlin Tully looked at Jon in disbelief, the child she hated for eighteen years was not an illegitimate child. The heart disease that she has been stalking in her heart for 18 years turned out to be all fake. Eddard Stark never betrayed her, as people admired, Eddard regarded his honor as more important than life, and he never betrayed his family or marriage.

Caitlyn Tully felt a sour stomach as her hand touched Ed's hand, and the corners of her eyes reddened slightly......

"Ma'am, I'm sorry......" Ed whispered.

"Ned, it's my fault. I should have had complete trust in you......"

"No, Caitlin, don't blame yourself. ”

"Ned...... I know you have to keep Jon safe, and King Robert hates the Targaryens the most, and he vows to kill everyone in House Targaryen. You have to admit Jon as your illegitimate child that you can keep your child alive. Caitlin looked at Jon, her gaze was complicated, her lips squirmed, her voice thinned, "Jon, I ......"

"Your Majesty, you have done nothing wrong. ”

"Call me aunt, child. "Caitlin Tully is a good-hearted noblewoman, but she can't overcome jealousy and prejudice in her heart. When she learned that Jon was not Eddard's illegitimate child, all the negative heart sickness in her heart had disappeared, and her heart, happy and emotional, had cleared up.

There is nothing else like the joy of this news!

Jon stood up and respectfully called Catelyn his aunt, and solemnly called Ed his uncle.

Count Gavin was dumbfounded and speechless.

He never imagined that Jon Snow's illegitimate son was not Eddard's illegitimate son, but the legitimate son of Rhaegar and Lyanna, a black-haired and honest child who was actually a descendant of the Mad King Elis, the son of Rhaeggar.

He turned out to be a Targaryen!

This thing has changed too much, this Targaryen, will he have any thoughts about the Iron Throne? According to the tradition of the Targaryens, Jon suddenly became the rightful heir to the Iron Throne of the Targaryens.

Telling Jon's true background was not Bran's real purpose, his purpose was to convince the North to support Jon in the Iron Throne.

"Father, Mother, Count Gavin, I have one more important matter to say to you. Riding the dragon back to the Demon Mountain in the Bright Moon Mountains, his dragon is not dead, and all the injuries caused by the Night King's Ice Spear have fully recovered. ”

This was very heavy news, and Earl Gavin's eyes suddenly lit up, like jewels.

Ecstasy appeared at the corners of his mouth, and the corners of his eyes and brows showed together.

Ed and Catelyn were both surprised and delighted after being stunned, and Ed's eyes widened: "Bran, your three-eyed crow saw the dragon of the Magic Mountain?"

"Yes, I saw it. ”

"Is the sheep thief really fully healthy?" asked Caitlin urgently.

"Yes, Mother, the sheep thief is fully restored. ”

"It must be back to the reason for the warm climate in the south. Caitlin found a good reason why the Magic Mountain Dragon was back healthy.

"It's not because it's warm, mother. Bran said.

"Oh, what's the reason for that?"

"Lady Dorty Quintina is a Blood Witch, and the magical power of the Blood Witch is the most remarkable for healing. The fact that the Magic Mountain was able to ride a dragon back to the Bright Moon Mountain Range and took Prince Arrene Martell with him on the way already shows that the injuries of the sheep thief can be healed. ”

"You're saying that the Magic Mountain deliberately told us that his dragon was not saved. Ed said.

"Yes, father, this is a tactic of the Magic Mountain, he wants Daenerys Targaryen to believe that his dragon will die, Daenerys and the little demon Tyrion are very relieved to lead their troops to attack King's Landing. They have now taken possession of Dragonstone, controlling all the waterways outside the waters of Dragonstone and the port of the Blackwater River. Daenerys could attack at any time, but while her army was all in place, she had not ordered an attack on King's Landing right now. ”

Earl Gavin was worried about the safety of his beloved daughter Jenny in King's Landing, and he hurriedly asked, "Bran, why hasn't Daenerys given the order to attack King's Landing yet?"

"Because of the dragon, her three-headed dragon, was taken away by the dragon sheep thief of the Demon Mountain, and the three dragons were taken to the deepest part of the Mingyue Mountain Range by the sheep thief, and in the territory of the sheep thief, the three little dragons were kept by the dragon language and barbecue goats of the Demon Mountain. ”

Jon, Eddard, Gavin, and Catelyn were all dumbfounded!

"Bran, do you mean that the Magic Mountain has four dragons at once?" Count Gavin's voice was incredulous.

Jon, Eddard, and Caitlyn were equally shocked.

"The mountain hopes to use Daenerys' three dragons to breed and hatch dragon eggs, and he wants to recreate the dragon flying all over the sky. "More than 170 years ago, on Dragonstone Mountain on Dragonstone Island, there were six wild dragons alone. The sheep thief was one of the six wild dragons. ”

"If you want to breed and hatch dragons, you can't do it in one year or two. Earl Gavin muttered.

"Yes, it will take at least a year and a half to reproduce and hatch. And before the onset of winter, Daenerys and the Magic Mountain will break out into a large-scale bloody battle because of the Iron Throne. Daenerys came to reclaim the Iron Throne for the family, and the Magic Mountain and his vassals, as well as the nobles in the other six kingdoms, would not recognize Daenerys as king, because the legions brought by Daenerys were mainly foreigners. Those people weren't Westeros. They also came to make a fortune in the bloodbath of Westeros. Father, together with the war, the northern border will also be involved, and it will not be spared. ”
