Chapter 586: Pity and "Pity"

"Have you seen it?!" Egger was agitated, and his face changed suddenly.

Being a junior brother has the advantage of being a junior brother: someone stands in front of him and bears the firepower with the national flag draped in it, and he never needs to worry about being the target of public criticism or being questioned legally.

And the disadvantage is that the younger brother is the younger brother after all.

Daenerys is the boss and decision-maker of the camp, and he can only be regarded as a chief adviser + executive at best - in this position, he only succeeded in taking the position after taking out the two old ministers who were in front of the line, Berish and Varys, and he has not yet confirmed his name, just a temporary agent.

And as a vassal, there are some things that can be done and some things that cannot be done.

He can talk and draw a pie to lure the queen into a particular idea, he can give advice in a clear manner, or he can speak out against it, or he can stir up discord, interfere and influence Daenerys's views and impressions of third parties......

But he must not say to the Queen, "You are not allowed to ally with Little Aegon" or "Don't go alone to meet with other forces while I am away", even if it meant something like that.

It is not too much to express opinions, no matter how much, and it is also a personal skill to brainwash the queen and sway her thoughts...... But making decisions on behalf of you is absolutely not possible!

The latter is said to be more than a substitute for the smaller, and more importantly, it is to be disobedient and maliciously empty, and if it is not a last resort, it cannot cross the line at all.

In a word: when, where, and under what circumstances the queen wants to meet, she has no right to interfere at all!

His heart pounded and accelerated, and it took several seconds to accept this reality, nodding helplessly to show that he knew, and asked casually, hiding his nervousness, "What was the outcome of the meeting?"

"It's a pity. Nina sighed, "Your Majesty doesn't seem to approve of Prince Aegon's blood kinship, and the alliance is estimated to be up in the air." ”

What's the pity? It's great news!

Iger was almost frightened to death by her first half of the sentence, and he almost endured it so that he didn't show an expression of ecstasy: indeed, in the eyes of ordinary people who had never seen a cannon salvo, did not understand himself and the queen's ambitions, and did not know the plans of the king's lordship, the queen's current advantage was indeed not very great. Losing a possible ally would not only make it more difficult to attack King's Landing, but also face new enemies that might arise after defeating Stannis, which is why Nina said it was a pity.

"How did it work, were you there?"

"During the days when the queen was giving land, the messengers sent by Prince Aegon to find her came here almost every day to report, and if it weren't for my refusal, I even wanted to stay in the industrial park, so as soon as His Majesty returned, he received the news. The queen rode a dragon around King's Landing to inspect and demonstrate, and stopped in the industrial park to feed the dragon and rest for a short time, and the little prince took this opportunity to cross the Heishui River to the barracks and meet His Majesty. ”

Nina didn't hold back, telling everything she saw and heard.

"The prince is indeed 'a Targaryen at first glance' as rumored to beβ€”silver-haired, purple-eyed, and so beautiful that he is not like a man, and he is humble and courteous, and generally feels good to those he meets, but unfortunately I am not qualified to participate in his indoor meeting with the Queen, I only know...... About an hour or two after they entered the house, they came out into the clearing and approached the two dragons who had just finished eating. By the way, Lord Snapping Turtle was with His Majesty at the time, and he should have told the story. ”

"The 'Griffon-Lord' who accompanied the prince at the time was anxious to talk to the queen about the alliance and the joint attack on King's Landing, but His Majesty demanded that the little prince prove that he was Rhaeggar's son. The snapping turtle nodded and took over, it was not confidential anyway, and it didn't hurt to say it, "But this kind of thing, how can there be any evidence that can be taken out, and then His Majesty had no choice, so he came up with an idea - let the dragon make the judgment." ”

I see!

An imperceptible smile appeared on Egg's face, he had a psychological shadow on Daenerys's mad king bloodline, so he was shocked when he heard that she had met with Aegon, who thought that this little queen was not always a pig teammate, and he could already guess what happened next, but it was a pity that the fake prince was probably not killed by the dragon, otherwise Nina probably wouldn't just feel pity, but would have felt terrible.

"And then?"

"Your Majesty led the prince to the two dragons and told him, 'The black one is my Zhuogen, and if you can ride the blue one and become a dragon knight, I will recognize you as my blood relative.'" ”

At that time, half of the people in the industrial park came to watch this good show, and in full view of everyone, the prince actually had the courage to walk towards the slightly smaller green dragon, and the dragon just watched him approach, and let out two heavy snorts, but did not attack until the other party approached a few feet away...... Instead, he lowered his head, not knowing whether he wanted to take a good look at the villain's appearance, or deliberately wanted to touch him. Nina recalled the scene at that time, and can still recall the nervousness, "The moment he reached out and touched the dragon's nose, everyone thought that he was about to be recognized by the dragon! But the green dragon was only touched by him, as if he had been pricked by a needle, and raised his head violently, just when everyone was about to be scared to death, thinking that the boy would be buried in the dragon's mouth in the next second, and when Earl Clinton even shouted to attract the dragon's attention to save the prince, Brother Ray did not make any attack, but hissed and flew up suddenly, leaving the ground!"

How so?

Iger was confused.

The reason why little Aegon dared to go dragon riding was not difficult to guess - because he didn't know that he was a fake, and of course he was full of confidence.

But it was a little strange that he could really get close to the green dragon to such an extent.

Is it that the impostors pushed out by Varys and the Governor of Illyrio also have a fairly pure true dragon blood in their bodies, or is it ...... His own judgment and the analysis and speculation of many people on the forum before the crossing were wrong, that child is really Aegon Targaryen?

No, no, there is no point in thinking about this, as long as it is admitted that Aegon's Targaryen identity is not good for him, then even if he is real, it is fake to himself.

What's even more worth analyzing is that since the green dragon rejected little Aegon's attempt to tame, why didn't he attack the bold man who offended him...... Like to that hapless Prince Quentin in Dorne?

Did it sense the true dragon blood in Aegon's body, or did Daenerys have a way to control the dragon and deliberately let the boy go in order to avoid being stigmatized as a "relocide"?

"It's a shame indeed. ”

Egg nodded and sighed, ostensibly agreeing with Nina's point of view and lamenting that the Golden Regiment had not become allies, but in fact it was regretting: if that dragon could swallow or burn little Aegon to death in one bite, even if it was badly burned, he would have to face much less trouble in the future.

"What's the pity, silver-haired, purple-eyed, and beautiful Valyrians are everywhere across the Narrow Sea. As for being able to get close to dragons, not to mention how many dragon king families Valyria had in the first place, non-dragon king affiliated families like Valerian have also produced dragon knights. His appearance and ability to get close to the dragon do not prove that he is a blood relative of the queen at all. Melisandre scoffed, and with her pitiful political sensitivity, she obviously couldn't hear what Iger really meant, "I guess the Queen's real idea is that if a dragon knight can be added, then even if he is fake, he can be pretended to be real." ”

In addition to being an excellent wizard and a good fire friend, Egg is really a little annoyed by Melisandre, a god who doesn't know anything but pretending to be a ghost. But after being startled by Crow-Eyed Euron using hypnotic spells to control Asha last time, he didn't dare to relax any longer, and instead let the red-robed girl accompany him day and night.

"Well, this matter is over, so let's not speculate on His Majesty's thoughts. He quickly stopped the verbal politics that everyone liked to hear, and led the topic back to the direction he cared about: "The queen has refused to recognize Prince Aegon on the grounds that he is not recognized by the dragon, but what about Riverbend and Dorne?

"Oh, I was about to report this to you, but the three didn't act together. The queen rode back to Roseby without waiting for the messengers of Riverbend and Dorne, and left an order that when you return from the Riverlands, Lord Egger, let them negotiate with you, and you can represent her with full powers. ”

Hey!

At this time, Iger was completely relieved, the queen first refused to recognize the identity of little Aegon, and then ordered herself to negotiate with Riverbend Dorn as a representative, which showed that her brainwashing was completely successful, and she decided to adopt and implement the plan of the king's leader!

As a monarch in the era of feudal lords, it is common sense that Daenerys does not have a good reason to refuse the "unconditional" allegiance and support sent by others, but she has already made up her mind to be ruthless against the riverbend underground. Unable to pull this face, the queen simply played a hand out of sight, and let the proposer of the plan, herself be the hated black face.

Iger knew that what he was playing now was actually the mistake of suggesting the cutting of the domain, and if the war to dismember the river bend and establish the Great Monarchy was smooth sailing, then everyone would naturally be happy, but once the defeat was lost, Daenerys was afraid that in order to appease the Seven Kingdoms, Daenerys would drive herself back to the Great Wall in the blink of an eye...... Or even worse.

It's not a beautiful errand to carry a black pot, but considering Daenerys' character of doing unreliable things from time to time, she didn't poke any basket or agree to any conditions that shouldn't be agreed to in her absence, and Iger was already very satisfied.

"It's also strange that the Golden Order, Riverbend, and Dorne, though ostensibly stationed on the south bank of the Blackwater River, don't actually live in the same barracks, but each has set up their own camps, separated by miles from each other. Nina only had to answer Egger's question, but the Unsullied Commander Snapping Turtle, as the deputy commander of the current industrial park camp, felt obliged to report relevant military information to Egger, "The Golden Regiment is stationed on the other side of the mud gate of King's Landing near the Blackwater River, while the Riverlands army is camped a few miles upstream, across the river to our southwest, and Dorne is further away, a little further south between the two fronts. The three military camps are distributed in a triangle with each other, although they all support the return of the Targaryens, but looking at this posture, it seems that they are still guarding each other. ”

Even in any of these three military camps, there are still many intrigues.

"I'll take the time to listen to the detailed military briefing after dinner, and now I'm going to inspect the saltpeter warehouse. Iger smiled, turned his head, and said to Messira, who had been following obediently and quietly with a wooden folder, "Make a note of my schedule, and then schedule the time, and after communicating with Lord Snapping Turtle to confirm that it is okay, let him send someone to talk to the messenger of Dorne about Riverbend and come to Blackwall Fort for a detailed discussion." ”

"Uh-huh, made a note of it. ”

Nina glanced at Myrsilla with some curiosity, probably never thinking that this somewhat cute and cute girl who was doing her old job - arranging Egger's schedule still had a lot of background. Retracting her gaze, she remembered something else: "By the way, Miss Margaery came to Blackwall Castle a few days ago and said that she would wait for you here. She is an old friend of the Night's Watch industry, and has many business dealings with us, and I am not going to drive her away, so I arranged for her to be fed and lodging, do you want to see her?"
