The Dornish girl hiding inside the carriage had deep, dark eyes, a high nose, a delicate chin, slightly dark skin, and long, curly black hair.
She was sitting with her legs crossed, curiously looking outside, seemingly finding everything here fascinating, after all, this was the first time she had ever traveled so far in her life.
Although she is only fifteen years old this year, the girl has an unusually good figure, with firm thighs and a full chest.
She is Arianne Martell, the eldest daughter of Prince Doran, and the other protagonist in Viserys's betrothal.
distance.
Through the curtains lifted by the carriage, one can see the palace atop the nine towers that stand tall on the shore of the sea.
As Arianne said, the population and scale of buildings here have far surpassed even Sunspear in Dorne.
"Who exactly is Viserys?"
Looking at the palace atop the nine towers in the distance, Arianne suddenly became curious about what kind of person her fiancé was.
Why is it that someone who is only about the same age as her can accomplish so much, while her peers are still playing the prince and princess game?
Last year, she boarded a Martell merchant ship from Dorne and set off for Andalus, where her father, Prince Doran, hoped that she would first cultivate a relationship with Viserys.
Therefore, her group was originally going to Andalus, but at the last place they stopped to rest, they heard about the upheaval in Pentos and the news of the 'Red Night'.
The Targaryen dragons burned down the princes' palace in Pentos, killed all the governors, and seized the entire city-state.
Therefore, Arianne decided to change her itinerary and not go to Andalus, ordering her family's merchant ships to head straight for Pentos.
She was also very much looking forward to meeting her fiancé, because almost everyone was saying that Viserys was very handsome, like a prince from a fairy tale.
Her uncle Oberyn also emphasized several times in his letter that Viserys's appearance was so stunning that he was the most handsome man he had ever seen.
Arianne has always believed that handsome men are her weakness, so she is eagerly looking forward to meeting her fiancé.
...
And in the city of Pentos.
Princess Arianne was traveling by carriage to Viserys's palace atop the Nine Towers, but unfortunately, Arianne's arrival was not announced in advance, and Viserys was not in the palace at the moment.
Instead, it was at the home of his appointed private advisor, Jon Clinton.
Jon Clinton arrived in Pentos two years ago after leaving the Golden Company, where he lived under an assumed name and was assigned by Illyrio to be a member of the Pentos City Guard.
He then became the captain of a garrison through his own abilities.
He has lived in Pentos for years, and because of his 'integrity,' Jon Snow did not gain much benefit during his year-long tenure as captain of the garrison.
Everyone in the garrison profited handsomely, while Jon Snow, simply because his conscience bothered him and he took less, became a symbol of 'integrity' and was deeply loved by the merchants.
Even so, Jon's year-long career as captain still allowed him to buy a property in the expensive city of Pentos, on the edge of the city, right next to the city walls.
Jon's household was small, consisting of only a pretty brown-haired maid and a blue-haired boy who looked about eight or nine years old.
"This is my son."
“Igor”.
Jon looked a little nervous as he began to introduce himself.
Today, he suddenly took the initiative to invite Viserys to his home, without saying what he wanted to do.
Jon Clinton realized how abrupt his words were once out.
However, the words had already been spoken and could not be taken back. He regretted it somewhat, but could only stare at Viserys with a stiff expression.
Viserys listened to Jon's invitation and stared at him for a long time, until Jon thought Viserys was about to refuse, then nodded in agreement.
"it is good."
Viserys then arrived at his home as a guest, accompanied by a small number of guards and Jon Clinton.
Upon hearing Jon's introduction, Viserys's gaze fell upon the blue-haired, somewhat timid boy.
Meanwhile, the other person was also secretly watching Viserys, especially his shimmering silver-gold hair and his beautiful pale purple eyes.
"Igor, quickly greet His Majesty."
Jon Clinton then turned to look at his 'illegitimate son' and spoke.
The boy named 'Igor' was clearly very well-educated and sensible. After being urged by his father, he quickly stepped forward and bowed slightly in greeting.
"Good day, Your Majesty."
Viserys helped the child up and then patted him on the shoulder.
"Good boy."
Viserys looked the boy up and down and noticed that his hair did indeed show obvious signs of being dyed.
Because there was a noticeable silver tinge at the newly grown hair roots, it proved that his original hair color was silver.
His eyes were not the purple or pale purple that Viserys had imagined.
Instead, it's a special color similar to deep blue, even somewhat profound under light, almost like black.
Chapter 234 Aegon
Igor looked at Viserys with a hint of nervousness in his eyes, as if he had learned some truth.
So he frequently turned his head to look at his 'father' Jon Snow as if seeking help.
Jon didn't know how to start the conversation and didn't respond to Ego's plea for help, which made the boy even more nervous.
However, when Viserys took his hand and asked him some questions, the boy's nervousness dissipated considerably, and he even felt a sense of warmth.
This is my uncle...
My few remaining relatives in the world.
He even wanted to hug Viserys, but didn't dare to ask.
This invitation was extended by Jon Clinton himself, not by Viserys wanting to visit his home.
So the man with gray-red hair was having a fierce internal struggle before finally mustering the courage to speak.
"His Majesty."
However, as soon as Jon opened his mouth, he immediately knelt down on one knee.
"There is something I need your forgiveness for."
Jon Snow suddenly knelt down on one knee. Ego, who was being pulled by Viserys, and the other maid seemed unsurprised, only a little nervous, because they already knew what Jon Snow was going to say.
Viserys raised an eyebrow slightly when he saw Jon suddenly kneel down and say such things.
"Jon, what do you mean by that?"
The young king pretended to be unaware and looked at the other party with a surprised expression, then reached out and pulled Jon up from the ground.
What sins should I forgive you for?
"The king has come to your house as a guest, and you haven't prepared any food and wine in advance?"
Viserys made a joke, and the atmosphere immediately relaxed a lot.
Jon Clinton was also pulled up from the ground by Viserys, shook his head, and gave a wry smile.
"Fine wine and food have naturally been prepared for Your Majesty long ago."
“But I hope Your Majesty will forgive me for the sin of deceiving the King.”
Upon hearing Jon's words, Viserys's smile immediately faded considerably.
"Oh?"
"Why do you say that?"
Viserys's changing expression and words immediately made the hearts of 'Little Igor', who was holding his hand, and the maid beside him jump again.
The blue-haired boy's palms were sweaty as he kept turning his head to look at the expressions on his godfather and uncle's faces, his breathing becoming heavy.
Jon felt uneasy under Viserys's serious gaze, perhaps because he had done something wrong.
Then Jon gritted his teeth and spoke again.
"His Majesty once asked me if I had any family left, and at that time I answered His Majesty that I had a son, Igor."
“But Igor is not actually my son.”
With only a woman and a child present, Jon had no one else to rely on, so he mustered his courage and spoke directly.
As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes in the room turned to the boy whose hand was being held by Viserys.
"Oh?"
Viserys glanced down at him, while Igor, gripping his hand tightly, looked up at him as well.
At first, the boy was very nervous.
He kept recalling the teachings of his teacher Halden, urging Igor to learn from his powerful uncle.
His uncle Viserys accomplished many extraordinary feats when he was only eight years old.
Now, he was a year older than his uncle had been back then, yet he was trembling under the other man's gaze, which stirred up the boy's inner pride.
Igor gripped Viserys's hand tightly, straightened his back as much as possible, and widened his eyes, hoping to appear more imposing.
However, these actions only made him chuckle involuntarily.
Viserys gently ruffled the boy's hair, then looked up at Jon and asked.
"Jon."
"If Igor isn't your son, then who is his father?"
Jon Snow's expression remained as bitter and resentful as ever, and he remained silent for a long time in the face of Viserys' seemingly ordinary question.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, and this time all eyes were focused on Jon's face.
Then the gray-red haired man took a deep breath and finally spoke.
"What I'm about to say might be hard for you to believe, but I assure you it's all true."
“Igor’s biological father is your brother, Prince Rhaegar Targaryen.”
"And his mother was Princess Elena Martell of Dorne."
