Yimont had always been in good health. He only fainted for a while before waking up. There were no aftereffects, and he was even more energetic than before.
However, while he was pleasantly surprised that Targaryen had a successor, his attitude towards Danny had changed a little.
It was a kind of reverence towards a monarch.
The old man had lived for more than a hundred years and had experienced too many people and things. However, the act of the Dragon Queen swapping sons with the enemy still made him feel incredulous and shocked.
After all, she was only fifteen years old at that time!
And under those conditions …
The old man began to recall what the Targaryen ancestors were doing when they were fifteen years old … Er, they were either fooling around with women or playing with wildfire …
If they were in Danny's position, what would they do?
— Perhaps, only someone with such shrewdness and scheming could succeed.
The Targaryens were truly fortunate. Previously, they were on the brink of extinction. In less than twenty years, they were thriving and were about to ascend the throne of the world's greatest royal family.
Or, as the Westeros proverb went, every time a Targaryen was born, the gods would flip a coin to decide whether he was great or mad.
How mad the Mad King was, how irrational Legar was. For the sake of balance, how great would Danny be?
After that, old Yimont began to devote all his efforts to Simba.
He had already made grooming Simba his main task for the rest of his life.
Simba had Jogo's guidance and Wen had Yimont's nurturing. Danny was completely at ease and focused all her energy on the upcoming battle in Meereen.
On the third day of Simba's arrival in Meereen, news came from Dragonstone Island. A week ago, Aegon Targaryen rode the Black Reaper Bellerion in a surprise attack and took down Storm's Rest Fortress.
Aegon and Tyrion's two swamp dragons were Danny's largest pterosaurs. Each of them weighed more than a ton. Aegon's knockoff Black Reaper was two and a half tons.
Because of that, they only needed one wave to lead twenty fully armed knights up the walls of Storm's Rest Fortress.
First, use kerosene bombs to clean up the ground, clean up the sentry towers and the external defense forces, then transport two hundred knights up the city walls …
Aside from the fact that he did not know magic, Aegon's method of conquering Wind's End Fortress was almost exactly the same as how Danny had conquered Dragonstone Island.
On the other hand, there were only a little over a hundred guards in Wind Rest Fortress. Because they hadn't received any news from Erlu for a long time, they had lost their fighting spirit and even lost the meaning of guarding the fortress.
The number of casualties did not exceed ten, and Aegon took down the Wind Stop Fort.
With the Storm's End Fortress as their base, the ten thousand mercenaries from the Golden Mercenary Group successfully landed in the Westeros.
Seven nations …
In the week since Aegon took down Storm's Rest Fortress, almost no nobles outside of the Stormlands had noticed him except for vague rumors and slanders.
First of all, Aegon's speed was too fast. He took the castle in half a day and ended the battle.
Secondly, the little devil was intentionally keeping a low profile.
According to Tyrion's original plan:
The first step was to reorganize the armaments and allow the Gold Regiment that had traveled thousands of miles to recuperate and recover their fighting power.
The second step was to use the identity of Ilya's son to contact Dornmartell and reminisce about old times.
The third step was to use the identity of the nephew of Prince Daolang and the nephew of the Dragon Queen to subdue the various vassals of the Stormlands and become the true ruler of the Stormlands of the Seven Nations.
The fourth step was to use the identity of Lei Jiazi and the Duke of the Stormlands to officially form an alliance with Dorne.
The fifth step was to announce to the nobles of the Seven Nations that he had the right to inherit the Iron Throne and rope in the vassals of the Seven Nations who had a relationship with Targaryen and a grudge against Lannister.
The sixth step was to form an alliance of Dorne, the Stormlands, and the Dragon Society. Aegon, as the leader of the alliance, would lead his troops north to the King's Landing and ascend the Iron Throne.
In the dwarf's plan, at different stages, Aegon's identity as a guard of honor would be different.
This was a step-by-step process. Step by step, he would obtain real strength and use it to stabilize his identity as a True Dragon.
There was no lack of idiots and fools in this world, but there were definitely smart people.
When Aegon said that he was "the son of Lei Jiazi and Ilya", Tyrion himself did not believe it. He was not sure if the Dragon Queen really believed it or if she had other motives.
Then, the big crab was suspicious. Big Cousin Quentin did not believe it. Big Cousin Alaine did not believe it either …
Why would the nobles of the Seven Nations believe it?
But when he rode on a pterosaur and led the vassals of the Stormlands and the Golden Regiment to appear in front of the world, regardless of whether he was Lei Jiazi or not, he was still a True Dragon.
How should he put it …
Tyrion's plan was stable and realistic, but the people involved did not accept it.
Aegon felt that it was too complicated and a waste of time.
"Didn't we leave Slave Bay to seize the opportunity when Kevon passed away and the King's Landing is in chaos?
If we want stability, we might as well stay in Slave Bay and wait for my aunt to finish her business! "Aegon retorted Tyrion.
Tyrion was speechless.
He could not tell Aegon the deeper meaning of his plan. Whether he was Lei Jiazi or not, he could use his powerful strength to make this a reality.
But in Aegon's heart, he was, of course, the son of Lei Jiazi and Ilya, the nephew of the Dragon Queen. There was no need for him to doubt it.
Aegon's position of his identity was different from Tyrion's. This caused the two of them to have different plans for the future of "Aegon the Sixth".
Once the Golden Regiment was ready, Aegon would send out letters and announce the fact that Aegon the Sixth had arrived in the Westeros. Then, Dragonstone Island would know about it, and so would Danny.
Of course, Aegon did not completely ignore Tyrion's suggestion. During the week he occupied Storm's Rest Fortress, he sent letters to "Uncle Daolord" and the various lords of the Stormlands.
The content of the letter was very sincere. "I am the son of Lei Jiazi and Ilya. Count Varis saved me by swapping me for someone else …
For the past seventeen years, I grew up under the care of Sir Jon Clinton. In the past year, I went to Slave Bay and learned the art of governance by Aunt Danny's side. (Danny wanted him to be the "magistrate" of Meereen, but he did not go. Instead, Yimont taught him the art of governance.)
When Aunt Danny made the vow, she did not know of my existence. That is why she and I cannot agree on the Iron Throne.
But I am also unwilling to break her vow. I only represent myself.
Aegon Targaryen and Danny Liz Targaryen are blood relatives of two branches. She acknowledges that my right of inheritance is above hers, but she will not take responsibility for my actions.
That is why I need the support of my uncle (my lords).
I swear that I will bring true peace to the Seven Kingdoms.
I swear that if there is a long night, I will be at the front.
I swear that I am not vying for the Iron Throne with a vengeful heart. I wish for justice to be served. I will convene the Great Council and use the Great Judgement to settle the grudges of the previous generation. (I heard about this from Aunt Danny.) "
Aegon told everyone about his life, his current situation, and his future plans.
He was very sincere!
When he handed the letter to Tyrion and asked him to help fix it, the dwarf suddenly had a strong wish. He hoped that he had guessed wrong. Varis and Illyrio did not play any tricks. Aegon was the son of Lei Jiazi and Ilya, a true dragon.
He was not destined to be as great as the Dragon Queen, but he would definitely be a good king. At least, being his subject would be a hundred times better than working for the Dragon Queen.
Tyrion thought.
Oh, the subjects did not wish for their king to be too muddle-headed, but they also did not like an emperor who was too smart. At the very least, they could not be smarter than themselves. Otherwise, how could they fool the emperor?
It had to be said that the Westeros nowadays were too bad. Even sincerity had become a rare virtue.
Especially for those old foxes who were smart.
Tyrion felt Aegon's sincerity and passion and was a little touched. Prince Daolang also acknowledged Aegon's character and was a little touched. He really hoped that Varis did not lie and that Aegon was really Aegon. It was not a loss to have such a nephew.
"Take a fast ship and go to Storm's End Castle. Help me take a look at that Aegon VI." Daolang said to Alaine.
"Look at what? Even the Dragon Queen was deceived. I am afraid that I will not be able to tell if he is real or fake. "Alaine said.
"Being real or fake is only one aspect that is not important." Daolang's eyes flashed and he said faintly, "What is more important is whether he has the temperament and strength to ascend to the Iron Throne."
"Father, you are willing to let a liar use the identity of Aunt Ilya's son to ascend to the Iron Throne?" Alaine asked in disbelief.
Daolang closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the last trace of hesitation in his eyes had disappeared. He said firmly, "Dorne needs to take revenge on Lannister.
I hope that in the future, I will see justice for my sister Ilya.
You also need a king husband who is handsome, brave, and righteous.
Perhaps, Aegon can satisfy all three requirements. That will be enough. "
Since they had entered the Pterosaur Era, Alaine naturally did not want to drift on the sea for another half a month.
She sent a letter to Tyrion and the two of them flew back to Storm's End Castle.
This time, Princess Dorne did not fool around with Tyrion. Tyrion invited her to have sex with him, but she refused.
She liked to play, but she was very principled. She knew how to be a good wife.
"My father intends for me to marry Aegon," she said. "I've come to test my future husband."
"Little …" The demon lowered his head resentfully.
His cousin Alaine's arrival made Aegon very happy, but the Storm Lord's reaction made him embarrassed and angry.
"Boy, I am not stupid, nor am I stupid. I remember what Tywin did in the past. Lei Jiazi is dead on the wall! "
From Vulture's Nest Castle, a letter from Count Clinton (Jon's relative. After the old man was exiled, his title and castle were inherited by the side branch).
"Your madness does not prove that you have Targaryen's mad blood, fake!"
From Stone Helm City, Count Gillian Sven (His second son is Balon Sven, a White Knight. He is currently loyal to Lannister, but during the Rebellion of the Four Princes, he was loyal to Renly and Erlu).
Some were very impolite because of the interests involved. There were also neutral forces that intended to sit on the fence. They did not ridicule Aegon, but they said perfunctory words.
There were also Dragon Partisans in Storm's End Castle, or nobles who favored the Dragon Partisans, who gave Aegon reasonable advice.
For example, Count Astan Selmi (Old Bart's nephew) of the Harvest Hall felt the sincerity in Aegon's letter, so he also gave a very sincere suggestion.
"Lord Aegon, since your actions only represent yourself and have nothing to do with the Dragon Queen, you need Count Varis.
You need him to personally stand up and bask in the glory of the Seven Gods. Under the leadership of a person of virtue and prestige, he needs to explain in detail what happened in the past in front of everyone.
After all, Count Varis was the instigator and the only witness. "
This was the wise and prudent words. Even Aegon felt that he should meet the elusive Eight-Clawed Spider.
"He can be my Chief of Intelligence."
"Good idea, but don't ask me. I don't know where he is." Tyrion's eyes flashed as he shook his head.
The Chief of Intelligence was nowhere to be found, but the Chancellor of the Exchequer came looking for him.
