Uncle Finger had been waiting for Aegon like a drought waiting for rain. He had been waiting for him for far too long!
It was said that the Eight-Clawed Spider controlled the largest intelligence network in the Westeros.
Varismin had the support of the royal family and Illyrio had invested a large sum of money into him. He also provided a large number of little birds that could read and write even though their tongues were cut off.
However, Uncle Finger's intelligence network was not weak either. In some aspects, it was even better.
Uncle Finger's intelligence network was made up of three parts: the brothels, the customs officials, and the spies planted in the various families.
He was the largest procuress in the Seven Kingdoms. Most of the brothels in King's Landing were his property. The top bed slaves in the brothels had also been personally trained by him and were equipped with all kinds of skills.
Uncle Finger started his career in the customs office of Seagull Town. When he became Robert's Minister of Finance, all the officials in the sea trade ports of the Seven Kingdoms were secretly replaced with his people.
Uncle Finger also planted spies in the noble families that he had his eyes on. For example, the three brothers, Kate and Blake.
The three brothers had almost reached the peak of espionage. 007, Mission Impossible, and the Ace Spy were all inferior to them.
The three spies entered King's Landing as mercenaries. In just half a year, one became the garrison of King's Landing, one became a White Knight, and one became a trusted aide of the Empress Dowager. He even went to the Empress Dowager's bed.
Thus, when Aegon had just taken down the Wind Stop Fortress, Uncle Finger received the news.
However, Tyrion's appearance surprised him. He delayed for a few days to settle some loose ends before sending a letter to the Wind Stop Fortress.
"Tyrion, look," Aegon excitedly waved a piece of paper in front of Tyrion. "It's a letter from Duke Baelish. He invited me to the Eagle Nest to discuss pledging my loyalty."
Tyrion took the letter with a serious expression and read it carefully.
Aegon excitedly paced back and forth in the room, muttering, "The Seven Gods bless us. Only the Valley and Dorne were spared from the Rebellion of the Four Kings. The Valley's knights are second only to the River Bend, and they are currently the strongest power in the Seven Kingdoms.
If we gain the loyalty of the valley, we can join forces with Dorne and attack from the north and south. Even if Lannister and Tyrell reconcile, they won't be able to stop us. "
"Your Highness, Little Finger is the most untrustworthy person in the Seven Kingdoms. You should have known this long ago." Tyrion put down the letter and said with a frown.
Aegon said seriously, "You told me that I can't completely trust anyone except myself, including Uncle Daolang, Foster Father Clinton, Aunt Danny … I've always remembered."
Since there were no completely trustworthy people in the world, there was naturally no need to judge whether the other party was worthy of an alliance based on loyalty.
Benefits were the strongest and most reliable link!
Tyrion understood Aegon's unspoken words. His smile was bitter, and his heart was both happy and sad.
"I didn't expect you to remember it all this time and even apply what you've learned."
"Yes, I remember." The excitement in Aegon's eyes faded, and he said with a complicated expression.
--I remember much of what you said, for no one had ever taught me those things before. Foster Father and Sister Lemore only wanted to nurture an ideal king, but you taught me how to survive in the real world.
"If that's the case, wait a few days." Tyrion entered his strategist mode, thinking of ways to help Aegon. "Let the scholar send a letter to Bronze Yohn, telling him that Little Finger invited you to the Eagle Nest, and earnestly asking him to be your guarantor."
"Bronze Yohn, who? Why do I need to 'earnestly ask'? "Aegon said with a frown.
Tyrion explained slowly, "Do you know the Reuss Family of the valley? They are the old nobles of the valley, and their status in the valley is equivalent to the Bolton of the Northern Territory, Hyder of the Riverbay, Starfall City of Dorne …
Bronze Yohn is the leader of the Reuss Family, and is worthy of the respect of any 'prince'.
He once formed an 'Alliance of Justice' with the vassals of the valley, and almost chased Little Finger's wife-less son-in-law out of the family, but in the end … Sigh! “
Tyrion did not hide his disappointment as he shook his head and continued, "Bronze Yohn is an old-fashioned knight who values honor. As long as he agrees to be your guarantor, Little Finger will not be able to do it even if he wants to learn from Wade Frey."
"I see …" Aegon rubbed his chin and thought for a while. He made a decision and said, "A letter is not enough to express the prince's respect. I will personally go to Runestone City to meet Count Reuss."
Tyrion was shocked. He looked at the determined Aegon in disbelief. He did not expect him to be so bold!
Aegon's boldness also shocked Bronze Yohn, Uncle Finger, and the vassals of the valley.
That day, he rode on a dragon and landed in Runestone City. With the most sincere attitude, he told Bronze Yohn about his experience and his request.
To be honest, Count Yohn had mixed feelings at that time. He was touched by Prince Aegon's sincerity and how much he valued him, but he also wished that he had never come to him.
Because, he also suspected Aegon's identity …
Especially when Aegon told him honestly that even Uncle Daolang and Aunt Danny were kept in the dark about Varys's actions.
Looking at Aegon's earnest and sincere eyes, Bronze Yohn wanted to ask, "Your Highness, do you think this is reasonable?"
If the Dragon Queen rode on the "Great Guardian of Light" and landed in his house and personally invited him to be her guarantor, Bronze Yohn would see this as the greatest honor in his life. He would be willing to protect the rights of the Queen's guests with the lives of his entire family.
Even if it was not the Dragon Queen, Second Brother Wei would still be able to do it. No matter how crazy Second Brother was, there was no doubt about his True Dragon bloodline.
But to ask him to be the guarantor of a suspected fake prince …
Fortunately, Prince Aegon did not want him to be the guarantor of his True Dragon identity.
Protecting the guest's rights from being violated was a very righteous and honorable thing in itself.
Hence, Bronze Yohn reluctantly agreed even though he felt uncomfortable.
When Littlefinger heard about this, he was shocked for a moment. Then, he nodded in agreement and handed the safety of the Eagle Nest's moon gate hall to Bronze Yohn.
"My dear, your husband is a brave, smart, and magnanimous man. He is a knight."
That night, when Littlefinger was working, Littlefinger commented on Sansa's fiancé.
When he said this, he was very excited.
Sansa was also very excited.
She had loved listening to stories about legendary knights since she was young. She had always dreamed of marrying the handsome and glorious knight prince in the stories.
She had once thought that her Prince Charming was Joffrey.
Emperor Joffrey, who loved his people like his own children, had used a hammer to shatter Sansa's pink crystal maiden heart.
Then, she met the tall and mighty Tyrion. Her already shattered maiden heart was almost crushed into mud.
The series of misfortunes in her marriage had caused her to give up on herself. She learned how to seduce men and even became the secret lover of an old man who was neither legendary nor brave. If this had happened to Sansa when she was 13 years old in Winterfell, she would not have dared to imagine herself now.
Perhaps, after going through so much misfortune, the Holy Mother finally took care of her. When half of her body sank into the mud, a tall, brave, and extraordinarily handsome prince appeared in front of her, riding on a rainbow-colored … oh, the legendary Black Death God Bellerion.
Sansa was very satisfied with Aegon.
Aegon's appearance was not to be doubted. His silver-blonde hair shone under the sun. His eyes changed color according to the light, between dark blue, black, and purple.
What moved Sansa even more was Aegon's temperament. His bright smile made him look like the Sun God. It was as if he was about to enter her heart. However, his long eyelashes added a feminine aura to him …
A maiden (Maiden of the Seven Gods). The figure in her dreams when she was young had walked into reality from illusion.
More importantly, he had a dragon!!!
What a huge black dragon. Sansa had never seen such a huge and ferocious creature.
Eh, why does the Black Death God's mouth look like a bird's beak?
Sansa was a little surprised. This was different from the Megalosaurus that Master Luwin had taught her.
However, Master Luwin had never seen a Megalosaurus before. Perhaps he had remembered wrongly!
After all, seeing is believing, and hearing is false!
Sansa followed her "father" Duke Baelish in the Eyrie's open-air garden under the identity of Alaine Stone. She received Prince Aegon and his three servants who had arrived on a dragon.
Tyrion did not come.
Black Death God Bellerion alone took up half of the garden. He could only stay outside. Aegon, accompanied by his guards and Bronze John, entered the Moon Gate. It was located in the main castle of the Eyrie. It was a hall with a suspended door in the middle of the floor. Yes, it was also the place where Lysa fell to her death.
"Your Highness, I am relieved to see you. The Seven Kingdoms are saved. The people of the Seven Kingdoms are blessed."
Uncle Finger's smile was gentle and his tone was sincere. Aegon had a good impression of him.
"My lord, I also have the ambition to change the current situation of the Seven Kingdoms. However, I do not have the power to realize my dream. I hope you can help me return the Seven Kingdoms to the right track." Aegon smiled humbly and his eyes were confident.
"Of course. That is the main topic of our discussion today." Uncle Finger's eyes flashed. He had a higher opinion of the young man in front of him.
This was Aegon the Sixth, not the Mad King the Fourth. (In the hearts of Westeros, Joffrey was the Mad King the Second and Cersei the Third.)
Uncle Finger was such a smart man. Why was he not worried about Aegon's identity when everyone else was suspecting him?
He had a spy.
The spy on Dragonstone Island did not manage to find out the Dragon Queen's core secrets, but he confirmed one thing: the Dragon Queen completely recognized this nephew of hers.
That was enough.
Even his aunt did not suspect him. Who was an outsider to poke his nose into other people's business?
"This is my daughter, Aegon Stone." After some pleasantries, Uncle Finger introduced Sansa to Aegon.
Sansa was beautiful to begin with. She had exquisite cheekbones, delicate facial features, smooth skin, big and charming blue eyes, and thick red hair that fell behind her head.
Today, she dressed up for Aegon. She wore a dress made of ivory and silver thread. The edges were trimmed with silver satin. When she lowered her arms, her long sleeves almost touched the floor. She looked pure, elegant, and very girlish.
However, the deep V-neck corset and her slim waist created a strong visual impact. It showed her mature and seductive womanly charm.
Aegon was stunned.
He had seen beauties before. He had seen Aunt Danny. However, among the women who had given him sexual hints, Aegon was the most beautiful, charming, noble, and elegant.
She really looked like a princess.
Aegon thought.
However, Aegon still had his manners. Clinton and Ashara were both direct descendants of great nobles. Their earnest teachings made it so that Aegon did not lose his composure today.
There was only admiration in his eyes. There was no lust. He kissed her hand like a gentleman and said, "Lady Aegon, you are the moon in the sky above the Eyrie."
Sansa was like a young girl meeting a man for the first time. She blushed and smiled sweetly.
Uncle Finger also smiled in relief.
There was a high chance of a marriage alliance!
Uh, he did not feel uncomfortable at all about his woman marrying someone else. Instead, he was very … happy.
Look at how sincere his smile is.
