Chapter 306 Damon's Future

Dragon's Nest.

Igor, who had just arranged the tasks of the Silver Cloak Guard with his father, could finally rest for a while in his room alone. The young heir took a sip of fruit wine with milk and continued to turn over the documents in front of him.

As the heir of Dragon's Nest, Longzel tried to prevent Igor from making the stupid mistake of Lingol in the past. Facts have proved that this cunning young man did it. At least, both Longzel and Lingol were assured to let the boy get in touch with the core of the silver dragon - intelligence.

All the intelligence received by the Shadow Finger in the Five Fingers would be handed over to him, so that Igor's room was full of various documents and stationery without his own office.

He opened the intelligence sent back by the spy in King's Landing.

The content of the intelligence was not complicated. Aegon's illegitimate son, Garin River, had some relationship with Vareses. When Serena stayed in Harrenhal to take care of Melissa Blackwood, many illegitimate children had received her favor, and Garin River was one of them.

Although the Darry family was not close to the Silver Dragon, they did not dare to offend the power of the Silver Dragon, so Garin's mother lived a comfortable life with the double blessing, which also left a seed in Garin's heart.

Butter should not be put in one frying pan, and eggs should not be put in one basket.

For Aegon, he would only be valued if he was useful, and for the Silver Dragon, as long as he did things, he could get real benefits.

He was not stupid, and knew that what he ate in his mouth was his.

He still understood this truth, so he chose to do his best to build an intelligence network for Aegon, and also revealed intelligence to the Vareses family from time to time in exchange for benefits.

Igor flipped through the intelligence he brought.

The Vareses family knew about the two bastards who claimed to be the illegitimate children of Jacaerys Vareses very early. Jacaerys even flew back to the castle and swore to his wife that he would never leave any seeds outside.

Facts have proved that there is indeed no.

But the people don't care what the facts are, they only care about whether there is fun.

And this rumor has not spread, plus Jacaerys and his wife are really in love, so it doesn't matter.

However, the two little guys are indeed interesting. Dagarion's shadow can probably dig out some information, not much, but enough. The mother of Trystan Sand and Doran Sand is a dragon from Dragonstone, but not the first generation. Her father's bloodline comes from Aenys I, the product of the arrival of the Dragon King. The mother's bloodline is closer, directly from Aegon the Usurper, from the absurd time of Aegon the Usurper when he was a teenager.

It is not clear who the father is, anyway, it can't be Jacaerys. The shadows have two speculations. Referring to the pattern of the Valyrian characteristics of the dragon king's bloodline in the offspring, the father of these two children is either a dragon or the descendant of immigrants with Valyrian blood.

Mainly, there is a little information that the shadows have to pay attention to. These two children seem to have special characteristics like the orthodox Targaryens, especially they occupy a special position in the information of King's Landing. It seems that King Aegon attaches great importance to them.

Igor held his nose and thought.

Although there is nothing worth mentioning about the bloodline of these two children, and everyone knows that they do not have the bloodline of the silver dragon, in the final analysis, they still retain the traces of Varese's bastards, and the gods may not know what Aegon wants to do with them.

At least it can be inferred that he wants to use this name to do something. But it doesn't matter, even if they are really bastards, they can't make much waves.

Igor is still concerned about two points, Aegon's purpose of summoning bastards, and the direction of the most noble bastard Daemon.

The former is the most important issue for the family in the long run. The power of the Targaryen royal family has never been great. Although the royal family is the common lord of the whole territory, except for the royal nobles, the royal family does not have much control over the nobles in other regions. Even in King's Landing, the royal family's authority relies more on the cooperation of King's Landing citizens who are close to the royal family. If they just want to maintain normal rule, there is no need to let illegitimate children occupy positions that control practical affairs. The royal family can use these positions to win people's hearts.

Just like what Aegon did to the fathers and brothers of those mistresses before.

But now Aegon uses these positions to bribe his illegitimate children, which can only mean one thing.

"His Majesty hopes to fill the gap of the royal dragon riders as soon as possible." Igor sighed.

The Targaryen royal family has been very unlucky in recent years. After King Daeron's death, the royal family has only Syrax, Sea Smoke and Vermax, the dragons that can compete with the adult dragons of the Vareses family. Princess Alysanne's Mogul is too small, and Maegon's Gelesos is also a small dragon among the dragons of the Vareses family. As for Varis, who has just tamed Perch, he has no combat power.

Lord Joffrey Velaryon is old and has been in poor health recently. After his death, his descendants, whether it is Adam, who is also an old man, or Rhaeg, the younger generation, or Velaryon, the next generation, may not have the ability to tame dragons.

Tyrex has almost become a masterless dragon, and the royal family can no longer provide dragon riders.

Aegon obviously does not want the emergence of a third dragon king family.

The gap between the six dragon riders and the dozen dragon riders of the Vareses family is too big. There is no way to even close it out.

Among the royal family members, Aegon, Aemon and Aerion are already middle-aged. In Westeros, their age is actually very dangerous. They don't know when an accident or a disease can take their lives. And the younger Maegon and Alysanne can't bear the responsibility of the royal family.

No one really wants to watch the royal family being suppressed by Vareses and eventually annexed by Vareses in constant marriages.

"Bastards of noble birth are more easily accepted by the nobles than bastards of commoners." Igor gently tapped the half-drunk wine glass in front of him and said in his heart: "Accepting a royal position will also have a stronger sense of belonging to the royal family. Most of the time, this is the case."

He roughly sorted out Aegon's route of action.

If I guessed correctly.

Appointing adult noble illegitimate children to fill positions of power is only the first step. After tying them firmly to the royal chariot, Aegon will slowly guide them to integrate into the royal family and then seek opportunities to tame dragons.

Even if most of his illegitimate children fail, they can quickly increase the number of dragon riders for the royal family.

As for the risks, as long as his heirs are able to win over a sufficient number of dragon riders, or the Varese family stands behind them, there will be no risks that the royal family cannot afford.

"That's a good idea."

Igor snorted coldly. Letting illegitimate children ride on dragons is a risk that can only see the present but not the future. Even when the blood dragons danced wildly, no one really wanted to let illegitimate children ride wild dragons to fight.

This is a matter of principle.

No one can guarantee that illegitimate children can really remain loyal.

Thinking of this, Igor pulled out another document.

This document came from the Gray Island.

Those "dragon kings" of Volantis who called themselves "dragon chasers" were lucky enough to think that they could hide from the eyes of the silver dragon.

But the shadow of the silver dragon is everywhere.

"Another Aegon." Igor didn't know what to say, but when he thought of himself as "Aegon", he couldn't say anything.

The descendants of Mellar and the dragon chasers have been very honest in recent years, not because they have lost their ambitions, but because they have no chance. Although Aegon seems unreliable, he is the one that the kings value most for dragons.

He is already planning to drive the sheep thief and Gray Shadow back to the dragon cave in King's Landing.

Moreover, although Aegon is promiscuous, he knows very well the whereabouts of every seed he left behind, and even knows the situation of the descendants of the illegitimate children of the commoners left behind when he was a teenager, which eliminates the possibility of these dragon chasers confusing bloodlines.

So they are also very anxious now. They even plan to send Aegon Yangyan, who has already started a family, to Conquer Land to try his luck.

It is not very peaceful there now, and there are opportunities everywhere.

"Conquer Land"

Igor pondered the name of the place.

He connected these things together. It is not difficult to find that on the one hand, Aegon wanted to use the illegitimate son to expand the dragon knight corps, and on the other hand, because Queen Rhaena and his legitimate son Daeron were alienated from him, he did not have a very good impression of his son.

No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

This makes King Aegon very twisted now.

And the one who occupies a major position in his plan is actually Daemon Waters, who has always been ignored by him protectively, the real noble illegitimate son, the crystallization of two Targaryens - Princess Diana also has the blood of a silver dragon.

It is also the most likely illegitimate son to successfully tame a dragon.

But in order for him to appear in King's Landing openly, King Aegon needs a sufficient reason.

In Westeros, military exploits are the biggest reason.

Where is there still fighting?

Conquer the land.

Igor pondered for a while, and wrote his instructions on the document.

It seems that in the next few years, the conquered land will gradually become a very important and very chaotic area.

This may also be an opportunity for the family to expand its influence.

"Brother Sebastian." Igor looked at Sebastian who came in. His well-mannered cousin is now Igor's best assistant. "We need a flag in the conquered land. Which flag do you think is the most suitable?"

Sebastian raised his eyebrows. He probably knew what the heir of the family wanted to do.

"There are indeed a few close family members who can be used, but..."

Igor suddenly smiled.

Silver Widow Manor.

Diana looked at Quentin Boll in black in front of her expressionlessly.

"Did he ask you to come?"

Quentin Boll nodded and said nothing.

"What benefits did he promise you, Sir Fireball." Princess Diana handed Quentin Boll a cup of tea with a cold face: "I heard that he removed your position just because you trained those bastards to be a little fierce? It seems that the news is wrong."

"Madam, you need to make a decision as soon as possible."

Quentin Boll said with the same expressionless face.

"I have made a decision."

Princess Diana pointed to the silver-haired boys who were dueling with wooden swords in the courtyard.

"You take all three of them."

"Three?"

Princess Diana nodded: "I believe he did not ask you to question my decision."

Quentin Ball nodded: "I understand, ma'am."

He turned and left Diana's room.

Just as he stepped out of the door.

Diana's voice made him pause.

"Sir, I have only one request." Her voice suddenly became gentle: "No matter what the result is, just be alive."
