Chapter 0500: Prince Aegon Targaryen
Harry Stryclan didn't want to be a homeless homeless man like his ancestors.
Although they lived in the Golden Knights and made a name for themselves in the free trade city-states on this side of the Narrow Sea, they always believed that their home was in Westeros.
Harry Stryclan's nickname 'Homeless' speaks for the vast majority of the Golden Knights.
The high-ranking officers of the Golden Knights, all from the nobles of Westeros, chose to side with Daemon Blackfire when they chose sides, and when Daemon Blackfire was defeated, they lost their territory and had to go into exile with Blackfire on the other side of the Narrow Sea in Essos.
The dream of the Black Fire Clan is that one day, they will be able to bring back the down-and-out nobles who follow them.
This time, they're back.
It's just that the original intention of the Golden Knights is gradually blurred. The older generation of noble knights is almost dead, and the new generation of the Golden Knights are no longer so enthusiastic about the tradition of reclaiming the Iron Throne. They became mercenaries by profession.
But as long as there is a chance to go home, no one wants to miss it. Although more and more of the mercenary groups are natives of the continent of Essos.
But the high-ranking officers and captains of the Knights have always been people of the Daemon Blackfire lineage who have been passed down from generation to generation and have the noble blood of Westeros.
The Daemon Blackfire clan itself has been cut off, and now the descendants of the noble knights who follow them continue to lead the Golden Knights.
Harry Stryclan's guards were careful to wipe the water from his feet with a soft towel.
There were several people in the tent, including Jon Clinton, who went by the pseudonym Griffin.
His family's griffon castle has been taken by the Golden Knights, and some of his family's descendants have been taken prisoner by the Knights.
Outside the tent stood tall military flags, which were several gilded skulls. The Golden Skull is made from the skulls of previous Captains, a tradition of the Golden Knights that originated from the wish of the first Commander, Igor Gawain, before his death.
Igor Gawain hoped that the commander he would take over after his death would cook his head, skin it off, leave it gilded, and hang it on the flagpole so that he could see it for himself when the Knights returned to their native continent of Westeros.
Igor Hewen, who never forgot to fight back to his hometown, was defeated by the current three-eyed crow Brindon Hewen. The Daemon Blackfire were also completely defeated and driven out of Westeros by Brindon Gawain, who possessed the 'Thousand and One Eyes'.
The exiled Igor Gawain led the descendants of Daemon Blackfire to found the Golden Knights, whose dream was to return to Westeros and support them on the Iron Throne.
It's just that the world has changed, and now the Black Fire Clan has been cut off, and the rest are the descendants of the subordinates who followed back then.
However, whether it is a black dragon or a golden dragon, a green dragon or a white dragon, they are all dragons.
This change of mindset began with the previous Captain Mies Toin, and the person responsible for this change of mindset was Jon Clinton, who went by the pseudonym Griffin.
When Jon Clinton joined the Golden Knights, he grew up to be Mith Toyn's right-hand man. He persuaded Miss Toon to abandon the tradition of allegiance to the Black Dragon, and since the Black Dragon was gone, so would the other dragons.
This was the later popular belief among the senior officers of the Order that 'no matter what color a dragon is, it is a dragon'. Whether it is a member of the Black Fire family or other family lines, as long as it is Targaryen, then it is a dragon worthy of allegiance to the Golden Knights.
It didn't take much effort for Jon Clinton to convince Meath Toon to join him in his allegiance to the Golden Dragon: the three descendants of the last king, Elise Targaryen, Viserys Targaryen, and Daenerys Targaryen.
Aegon Targaryen, eldest son of Prince Rhaegar and the sixth Aegon, the Andals, the Royna, and the King of the Ancestors, heir to the Iron Throne.
Aegon Targaryen's mother was Elijah Martell, sister of Doran Martell, Prince of Dorne. After the Lannisters in the West led their troops to deceive King Elis into opening the gates, in order to clear the way for Robert to become king, Tywin Lannister understood and took action to complete those disgraceful dirty things on Robert's behalf, including the rape and murder of Princess Elijah by Gregor Clegane of the Magic Mountain and the death of the princess's son.
These heinous dirty things need to be done, and it is obviously not appropriate for Robert to do it himself.
Robert's best brother, Eddard Stark, would never do such a thing, and Tywin did these dirty things for Robert in order to stabilize his position in the West under the new dynasty.
It's dirty, but it's also a great credit.
This also led to an unresolved blood feud between the Martels of Dorne and the Lannisters of the West.
In that year, the eight-clawed spider, a loyal minister loyal to Targaryen, secretly stole Prince Rhaeggar's son and exchanged the illegitimate son of a commoner for Prince Aegon, deceived Tywin Lannister and others, and allowed Rhaegar to grow up on the other side of the Narrow Sea.
That prince is now Aegon Targaryen. Aegon Targaryen assumed the alias of Little Griff, whose father was Sir Griff.
And Jon Clinton, Sir Griff, Lady Lemore and other noble knights and maesters from the other side of the Narrow Sea formed the prince's teaching corps, and Mrs. Lemore was the maestro, and she was responsible for teaching the prince justice and faith.
Griff taught the prince swordsmanship.
Jon Clinton taught the prince how to stratagm and how to control people.
Jon Clinton spent five years with the Warriors, rising from Private to Captain Mith Toyne's right-hand man. If he stays behind, Jon Clinton will become the new head of the mercenary group instead of the current coward Harry Strykerland after Mith Toyne's death.
However, in order to cooperate with the Octopus's plan, Jon Clinton allowed himself to be fired by Mith Toin for stealing his comrades' gold, and then had him fake the illusion that Reece had fallen into the sea and died while drunk.
The series of plans of Varys the Octopus and Governor Illyrio caused great damage to Jon Clinton's reputation, but Governor Illyrio and Varys the Octopus felt that the cost of this honor paid by Jon Clinton was insignificant compared to the burden of secretly protecting and nurturing Prince Aegon.
In the later plans, the only people who knew and participated in the training of Prince Aegon Targaryen were Varys the Octopus, Governor Illyrio - when Aegon was a baby and was sent across the Narrow Sea, it was Illyrio who took over the raising - the head of the Golden Knights, Mith Toyn, Jon Clinton, the bacheloress Lady Lemore, and the down-and-out noble knight Griff.
