Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

In fact, there are quite a few capable people in Heros's camp.

Petyr Baelish, nicknamed "Littlefinger," is a talent in politics and diplomacy; Commander May helps Heros gather intelligence; and Prince Oberyn is an iconic figure in the Imperial Legion.

However, despite possessing a wealth of talent, Heros's side was unable to unite as one. Instead, internal power struggles and complex intertwined interests led everyone to be driven by self-interest, rather than by ideals.

Therefore, as the younger brother Aemon, on whom so many people placed their hopes, he was gentle and simple-minded. Although his abilities and intellect were far inferior to his brother's, his subordinates were united in their resolve.

Aemon was actually being carried forward by his men. If it weren't for Bessie and Tyrion, one a strategist and the other a warrior, Aemon might have been defeated by his brother long ago.

On the other hand, Heros had to coordinate and manage everything, big and small, himself. Since taking over King's Landing, many people within his faction had become arrogant and started to fight for power and profit.

Therefore, the organization fell into power struggles and infighting, and despite having a greater advantage, it could not fully utilize it.

Therefore, despite being the high-ranking regent prince of the empire, Heros still had to work overtime until late at night every day, leaving him exhausted.

While Imon was carried along by his men, Heros, as their lord, led the entire force forward.

However, even though Heros had given his all and exhausted all his energy, he ultimately failed.

Ultimately, human calculations cannot defy fate, nor can they overcome the forces of destiny.

If it weren't for that sudden downpour, Imon wouldn't have been able to turn things around in his hands.

Therefore, Heros's defeat was actually full of tragic elements.

He doesn't understand and can't accept it.

He should have been the sure winner; he had planned everything perfectly. However, due to a series of unknown and uncontrollable factors, the whole thing went against his expectations.

Then it sped off in an unpredictable direction.

However, as a mortal with a physical body, Heros had done everything he could, but he still couldn't reverse the rapidly deteriorating situation.

"You can still go home!"

The silver-gold-haired youth frowned slightly upon hearing his brother's words.

He then took a few steps forward and looked up at the brown-haired young man riding on the dragon's back.

He understood the meaning behind Heros's words.

He had already decided to leave and was preparing to depart from this place.

Whether or not they have given up hope in the future, and whether or not they will fight for the Iron Throne again, they certainly won't be coming back anytime soon.

Because there is no place for him here anymore.

However, Imon was not really willing to accept this outcome.

He didn't want his brother to leave for distant lands; what he hoped for even more was that their family could stay united and harmonious.

Because in the beginning, Aemon's rebellion against his brother Heros was actually driven by resentment.

Does Aemon hate his brother?

Actually, no.

He did not hate his brother.

At first, he just wanted to prove his existence to him, to prove that he was not a burden or an appendage.

If Heros views me as an 'enemy,' then I must prove that he too can compete for the Iron Throne and truly stand before him.

Therefore, Aemon didn't actually have high expectations for the Iron Throne at first. He didn't think being a king or emperor would be so great, or that he would be unable to be free.

However, once Aemon officially raised the banner of rebellion against his brother Heros, many of his vassals began to defect to him, forming a force powerful enough to rival the eldest prince. Aemon was now in a difficult position.

Even if he didn't want to be emperor, he had no choice now, after all, he carried the expectations of countless people.

Therefore, Imon must now move forward step by step with unwavering determination.

"go home?"

However, upon hearing his brother's words, Heros, sitting on the dragon's back, merely chuckled.

He looked around at the desolate landscape, then shook his head and spoke.

Where can I go home now?

He plotted to seize the Iron Throne, staging a coup to take over King's Landing, imprisoning Queen Arianne, and even refusing to see his own mother.

After Heros seized King's Landing, he visited his mother, Queen Renes, on Dragonstone several times, inviting her to recuperate at the Red Keep, but he was always turned away.

His mother did not see him, and Heros's several visits were all in vain.

Heros then stopped wasting words with Imon and urged the dragon Terex beneath him to hurry up.

The golden dragon let out a deep, melodious roar, spread its wings, and flew straight into the sky, disappearing in an instant.

Where will Heros go after he leaves here?

In fact, the answer is quite easy to find by using the process of elimination.

The Empire possesses a vast territory, yet this internal strife is confined to the continent of Westeros.

The vast empire's territory in the East was largely under military control and did not participate in the turmoil. Queen Daenerys suppressed all resistance, which is why the empire's eastern border remained as stable as ever.

The Eastern Continent was the territory of Daenerys, Aemon's mother and the young queen, so Heros dared not face his short-tempered stepmother no matter what.

If Daenerys catches him, he's bound to get a beating.

Across the land of Westeros, every province was embroiled in civil war, with only one place remaining a haven: Dorne.

Dorne's access to the Reach was blocked due to the fallen dragon carcasses, which indirectly helped Aemon shift the pressure from the south.

As for Heros Targaryen, the eldest prince with Dorne blood, Dorne has always supported him.

Therefore, his only way out now is to return to Dorne, recuperate, and seek a comeback.

However, Imon stood there watching his brother's departing figure.

tao tao…

The sun had already set sometime earlier, and a troop of northern cavalry carrying torches came from the direction of King's Landing.

They found the prince with silver-gold hair, then dismounted and respectfully spoke.

"Your Highness, Her Majesty the Queen invites you to the city."

Chapter 1081 Entering King's Landing

Yin Meng was a little dazed when she received the invitation.

However, a mix of fear and unease immediately followed.

After all, although he defeated his elder brother Heros Targaryen, who launched the coup, he himself was not actually trying to "purge the court of corrupt officials" to rescue his imprisoned mother, but rather shared the same goal as Heros.

As a rebel, Yin Meng stood on the side of justice and received more praise. However, Yin Meng's own heart was as clear as a mirror, filled with self-blame and torment.

Therefore, when he received Queen Arianne's invitation to enter the Red Keep, he naturally felt uneasy.

To go or not to go?

After much deliberation, Yin Meng gritted his teeth and decided to venture into King's Landing.

Although the First Queen was not his biological mother, and even Yin Meng had heard that Arianne and Daenerys had a long-standing feud.

However, Arianne was, after all, the woman who raised Immun.

Immon's biological mother, Queen Daenerys, left Westeros when her child was still very young, leading the Imperial army on a long and arduous expedition to the Eastern Continent.

Queen Renis, Heros's mother, also rarely stayed in King's Landing and did not discipline her children much.

Therefore, Viserys' three children, Diana, Herlos, and Immon, were actually raised by Arianne.

If a child makes a mistake, what is there to be ashamed of in facing their mother?

So after much hesitation, Yin Meng decided to muster the courage to personally enter King's Landing and face his mother.

However, his decision was met with opposition from many of his vassals and generals.

"Your Highness, please be careful."

Because their honor and disgrace, rise and fall, had long been tied to the shoulders of the second prince, Immon Targaryen.

They weren't worried about any danger Yin Meng might face after entering King's Landing.

After all, the current internal strife within the Targaryen family is actually being handled with great restraint.

As the war progressed to this point, from having the upper hand to gradually losing ground, the eldest prince, Heros, did not go to extremes and recklessly send dragons to join the battle.

Now that Prince Herlos has departed from King's Landing on a dragon and his whereabouts are unknown, and Queen Ariane has regained power, the generals under Immon are even more worried about being purged.

Prince Yin Meng will not receive any severe punishment; perhaps he will be banished, or at worst, placed under house arrest in King's Landing.

However, the fact that His Highness the Prince, as a member of the royal family, will not be punished does not mean that the soldiers who followed Yin Meng in the uprising will not be punished.

Although they were rebelling against the eldest prince, Heros, they were essentially supporting the coronation of the second prince, Yinmeng, rather than rescuing the imprisoned empress.

This is also a rebellion.

This was especially true for Bessie, who was the governor of Pentos and commander of the First Legion.

The empire has strict military laws, and any general who abandons his post, especially if it involves civil war within the imperial court, will be subject to the most severe punishment.

Therefore, when Yin Meng expressed his wishes, all the nobles present looked at this iron-faced general.

However, to everyone's surprise, Bessie did not object to Immon entering King's Landing.

"Your Highness may decide for yourself."

The middle-aged man with slightly graying hair under the metal mask spoke in a deep voice.

"Ah."

Immon Targaryen, after considering various opinions and hesitating repeatedly, finally decided to follow his own heart.

Regardless, this was a sin committed by himself and his brother, and now that Heros had escaped, he had to step forward and take responsibility for it all.

Regardless of what kind of punishment they may receive.

I've made up my mind.

Then, the handsome young man with silver-gold hair finally took a deep breath, looked around, and spoke in a resolute voice.

All the noise below abruptly ceased with Yin Meng's decision.
