Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

"This Targaryen king in exile is quite popular in Pentos..."

Following behind in the convoy, the messenger of High Lord Tyrosi, observing Viserys' popularity among the people of Pentos, spoke with some concern.

Meanwhile, the mayor of Braavos shook his head slightly upon hearing the words of the envoy from Tyrosi.

"His Majesty Viserys III is far more popular in Andalus than here."

In Andalus.

Viserys was practically a 'demigod', and the people revered him even more because he was deified and performed miracles.

In Pentos, Viserys led the city to victory, ending the governor's family's monopoly, and now enjoys immense prestige.

The nationalistic sentiment of the people of Pentos is also at its peak, after all, Pentos has had a history of humiliation for nearly a century.

The people of Pantos were happy, but their neighbors were worried.

A dictator who enjoys popular support can unite a stronger force, and if the king is warlike, it is not a good thing for the neighbors.

Looking at Viserys's life story, this Targaryen exiled king cannot be called a 'tyrant'.

But at the very least, he was an active and belligerent individual.

Under his rule, there was almost no year without war, and the Targaryens constantly expanded their territory and territory.

Many interesting things happened during Viserys's inspection of Pentos.

For example, a group of orphans were begging loudly when a startled warhorse crashed into a fruit stand.

A knight's warhorse went into heat and, ignoring its master's objections, moved close to another horse and began to mate intimately, oblivious to everyone else.

There was also a mistress abandoned by some nobleman, who came to the door with her illegitimate child.

People were stopping a line of people in the street to lodge a complaint, saying their employer owed them wages, etc...

After all the commotion, Viserys's inspection tour was relatively successful, and he led his entourage back to the palace.

Next came a grand banquet, and the following day, as planned, there was a tournament to celebrate the king's coming-of-age ceremony.

A group of knights eager to gain honor and make a name for themselves through this opportunity were naturally already eager to get started.

Viserys was very interested, but he certainly didn't need a tournament championship to embellish his reputation.

Otherwise, if he were to participate, the championship would be within his grasp.

It's worth noting that Gregor Clegane, known as the most wicked man in the Seven Kingdoms, is currently imprisoned in a water dungeon with all five of his limbs broken.

Unable to live, unable to die.

...

This happened not long ago.

Oberyn forced him to confess to his crimes and write a plea.

The accusations against Robert Baratheon, the usurper, and Tywin Lannister, the Warden of the West and Duke of Casterly Rock, are that they are murderers.

Gregor Clegane himself couldn't explain the details of his incursion into the Red Keep.

He simply stated that he had indeed snatched a blond baby boy from Princess Elia Martell's arms and slammed him against the wall, causing him to break his head and bleed profusely.

A blond-haired baby boy?

Oberyn extracted this crucial piece of information from the Mountain.

However, even the Mountain himself didn't remember very clearly, since it happened a long time ago.

Then Oberyn told Viserys about it.

"blond?"

"How is this possible?"

Viserys was also somewhat taken aback, then tried hard to recall Aegon's hair color when he was just a baby.

However, Viserys traveled back in time to a few days before the fall of King's Landing, so he couldn't quite remember Aegon's hair color.

The baby boy had very short hair, just a little bit.

Viserys had just transmigrated and was in a state of confusion, so he didn't observe carefully. Now, after thinking about it carefully, he finds it a little hard to be sure.

He remembered... it should be silver.

Fortunately, there is one more important person we can confirm.

That was the old maid of the Targaryen family.

Sophia, who once served under Queen Rhaela, Viserys' mother, must have remembered what color Aegon's hair was.

This matter is very important.

If Aegon's hair wasn't blonde, then the baby boy who fell to his death against the wall might not have been the real Aegon.

Then.

Viserys sent another letter to Andalus, but Sophia replied that Aegon had no blond hair.

'Aegon looks like a Targaryen, but his hair isn't blond. How could a blond-haired boy be born if neither princes nor princesses have blond hair?'

However, Sofia explained this point in her reply.

Aegon's hair might indeed look a little 'yellow' in the dim light of a room lit only by candlelight.

Sophia had personally cared for Aegon for a long time, so she knew him all too well.

Aegon's hair is slightly yellowish, which does make it look a bit like gold at first glance, but it is not exactly gold; it remains silver in bright sunlight.

This may be related to Aegon's mother, Elijah.

Ilya's health was very unstable; she was bedridden for six months after giving birth to Renes.

She nearly lost her life giving birth to Aegon and was diagnosed by the maester as infertile.

Elijah's physical condition may have caused Aegon to suffer from some congenital malnutrition when he was young, resulting in his hair being somewhat dry and yellow.

The Mountain killed Ilya and her child in a room lit only by candlelight.

Finally, when Tywin presented Robert with the child's body wrapped in a red robe, it was outdoors in full sunlight.

Chapter 289 Capture Alive

Across the narrow sea.

Viserys, the offspring of Robert's most hated dragon and a former Targaryen prince who had fled, is undergoing his coming-of-age ceremony.

A living, adult male Targaryen heir is enough to pose a significant challenge to the Baratheon dynasty, and Robert would want to kill him even if he had nothing.

However, this heir to the Targaryen family is not now penniless.

Viserys commands a large army and possesses vast territory comparable to the two dukes of Westeros, excluding the North. He has a large population, two main cities, and the incredibly wealthy Pentos, and is eyeing the Iron Throne covetously.

The pressure he exerted had almost spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms via the Narrow Sea, and almost everyone knew that a great war between the new and old kings was bound to break out sooner or later.

The Baratheon dynasty wasn't exactly popular, and the reason they were still able to maintain their rule was mainly because many nobles of the Seven Kingdoms had already offended the Targaryen family to the point of no return.

The four major families of wolves, deer, fish, and eagles occupied half of the seven kingdoms, and these people were the main force behind the rebellion, so they were naturally unforgivable.

Many other families surrendered upon hearing the news, and some even stabbed the Targaryens in the back. The Lannister family was a prime example of this.

Many unpleasant things happened afterward.

If Viserys ever manages to conquer the Narrow Sea and reclaim the Iron Throne, the Lannisters will inevitably face retribution.

At that point, they could decide where to escape to by boat.

but.

Robert Baratheon is now too preoccupied with intelligence from across the Narrow Sea.

He was currently overwhelmed by the chaotic situation before him.

The situation in the North is actually quite special, mainly because it is a vast and sparsely populated region.

The North is vast, almost equal to the combined area of ​​the other six kingdoms, but despite its expansive territory, it is sparsely populated and cannot compare to the prosperous South.

The northern border is covered with vast wastelands, forests, and snow-capped mountains.

This sparsely populated terrain is perfect for the savages' hit-and-run tactics.

Furthermore, the savages are extremely adept at surviving in the wild. Once they venture into the mountains or forests, regular armies can no longer find them, and if they try to pursue them too far in, they are easily ambushed.

And they don't have enough soldiers at the moment.

A large portion of them were crushed to death when the Great Wall collapsed, while others were hacked to death by savages in the chaos of that night.

The soldiers couldn't find their generals, and the generals couldn't find their soldiers.

After all, who could have imagined that such a massive section of the Great Wall would suddenly collapse?

That night in Mole Village, Robert and Eddard Stark, the two commanders, were drunk and naked, embracing a similarly naked woman.

Lord Ed rushed back day and night to find their unreliable king.

However, at this moment, they suddenly received news of the Great Wall collapsing, and the two looked at each other in bewilderment.

Robert then sobered up and hurriedly followed Eddard back to Winterfell, gathering up the remnants of their defeated army along the way.

However, people aren't always unlucky.

Boys who smile a lot are usually lucky, and Robert, a big boy who always smiles, has always been lucky.

Robert once escaped Jon Clinton's pursuit by crawling under women's skirts.

This time, they discovered the location of Mance Rayder, the King of the Frontier.

Stannis did not die the night the Wall collapsed, but he was certainly frightened.

His balding head was smashed open by a rock, causing him to bleed profusely. He then fought his way out of the encirclement and escaped Black Castle under the desperate protection of his guards.

Stannis then did not return to Winterfell, but instead led his personal guards on a wandering tour through the forest.

In their panic, they fled into the dense forest and lost their way back.

However, at that moment...

Stannis, with a few remaining guards, discovered what appeared to be the trail of Mance Rayder, the King Beyond the Wall.
