Game of Thrones: Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Chapter 761: Friar Aegon

"Uncle Viserys"

King's Landing, in the gardens of the Red Castle.

Ever since Aegon left the Red Keep and joined the Great Sept of St. Baelor, he has rarely returned to the Red Keep. Except for his sister Renice and uncle Oberyn who visited him occasionally, the rest is Penance in the church.

The dreams and ambitions of the past were gradually worn away in the penance of the church.

Little Aegon gradually grew up and understood his situation, and at the same time abandoned some unrealistic fantasies, becoming more calm and capable.

However, when he saw his second uncle with great powers again, his heart still couldn't help beating faster, and the palms inside the sleeves of the gray cloth robe couldn't help but clenched tightly, and the palms were full of sweat.

There were many reasons for Aegon's nervousness. Some of them were because children felt guilty when they saw their parents, while others were because their majesty and reverence made them bow their heads involuntarily.

Viserys is Aegon's idol. Although Aegon has not talked about it publicly, in his heart this uncle of his is more powerful than his father Rhaegar.

His father, Rhaegar, was also well-known and known as the "Silver Prince" and was widely loved and welcomed by the people. However, no matter how popular he was, he still lost the battle and lost the Iron Throne of the Targaryen family. It was Uncle Viserys who had won it back.

Because Aegon had been educated by the heir to the royal family since he was a child, he had already learned how to be an excellent ruler before he could walk. Therefore, when Viserys had no heir for a long time, Aegon always had an ambition hidden in his heart.

However, these ambitions eventually led him to remove his crown and become a monk who was forced to give up his family name.

In the end, until his sister Rhaenys gave birth to a son for Viserys, the last bit of ambition hidden in Aegon's heart was completely shattered.

However, fortune and misfortune depend on each other, which indirectly caused Aegon to let go of the burden he had been carrying all along, and his mood became more open and clear, which may not be a bad thing in the end.

But in the final analysis, there was Aegon's shadow behind the archbishop's affairs, and he still couldn't help feeling nervous when he faced his uncle.

To Aegon's surprise, however, Viserys did not blame him.

"Aegon, do you want to be High Septon?"

Viserys stood on the wall behind the Red Keep, overlooking the endless Blackwater Bay in the distance. The ships lined up to enter the port were crowded with each other on the sea, and the port of King's Landing was full of bustling and prosperous scenes.

And Aegon hesitated slightly when he heard his uncle's question, took a deep breath and tried to stabilize his heartbeat, then looked at Viserys' back, chose not to lie, nodded and said.

"Well, yes, uncle."

"I want to be the Archbishop."

Aegon would be exposed every time he lied in front of Viserys since he was a child, which also cast a deep psychological shadow on the child since he was a child.

However, a fall into a pit will gain a wisdom.

When Aegon grew up, facing the lies that Viserys had practiced in the church, he finally swallowed it back and chose to admit it straightforwardly.

And Viserys heard that Aegon did not choose to lie, but directly admitted that the outbreak of the archbishop's scandal was planned by him.

Suddenly turned his head slightly to look at the other party.

And Aegon faced the gaze of the supreme emperor of the empire, his heartbeat that had just calmed down accelerated again, and his breathing couldn't help being a little short.

Yes, he was responsible for the archbishop's scandal.

He found a few fanatical believers. Aegon once lived with the 'Sparrows', communicated directly with the 'Sparrows' face to face, and even lived in the 'Sparrows' Nest'. Geng can tell at a glance which stunned youths can be used.

If the 'Sparrows' did not perish, these people would definitely be good candidates for 'Sparrows'.

Because these are brainless people, Aegon casually revealed a few words and sighed a few times, and they became props used by Aegon, even without hesitation.

And all this was because Aegon was no longer satisfied with continuing to mix seniority in the church.

Because although Aegon was born in the royal family, he was almost born in Rome at the starting line, but in a place like the church, he still had to follow the steps of seniority, even if he had some experience and status, he was destined to be the archbishop.

However, Aegon still had to wait until his teacher, the Fat Archbishop, died of old age before he could become an archbishop, and then he could take the status of an archbishop further until the next archbishop passed away.

But Aegon couldn't wait any longer, and he really couldn't understand the way things were in the church today, so he sped up the process a little bit, and used his status to win over the relationship to create momentum.

Aegon relied on his sister, Queen Reynes, his uncle, Prince Oberyn, and another adoptive father, Illyrio, the Minister of Finance, Varys, the Minister of Intelligence, etc., and asked these big men who could call the wind and rain in the imperial political arena or court The old man greeted all parties for him.

Therefore, the archbishops from all over the church came to King's Landing and were pressured and favored by all parties. Naturally, they couldn't stand it, so they compromised one after another.

what to do?

Would Uncle Viserys be offended by this?

How will he punish me?

Aegon's mind went blank when he faced Viserys' gaze, his chest heaved and his breathing was rapid, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

"Why?"

However, at this moment, Aegon finally heard Viserys' voice, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving driftwood and letting out a big breath.

"Because I can't understand their behavior."

"Uncle Viserys~lightnovelpub.net~ Viserys' voice was very calm and asked Aegon why he did this, and Aegon took a deep breath after experiencing what happened just now, and his mind became clear. many.

"Although I can't transform the church into an extreme fanatic organization like the big sparrow, I should at least let the church play its due role."

"It should be the ultimate haven for believers, protecting the suffering people, alleviating conflicts and stabilizing society, not a machine for plundering money."

Aegon made no secret of his past association with the High Sparrow.

At that time, he regarded himself as the heir to the king, so he hoped to get the support of the people at the bottom from the High Sparrow, but in the end he was beaten severely by Viserys.

If it were Aegon many years ago, he might try his best to get rid of the connection between himself and the High Sparrow, but now Aegon is like a blessing, and he suddenly figured out what he should do.

Since Uncle Viserys only knew things, it was useless to keep concealing them from him.
