Game of Thrones: I'm flying a dragon on your face, how do you respond? - Chapter 74
c74 Journey to the North (II)
Add more wine, turn on the lights and resume the feast.
When Jaehaerys saw Catelyn Tully, he nodded and saluted. For the prince, this was enough.
Of course, he could also kiss her fingers, but this woman was a little stupid, but she was much better than her sister.
According to the intelligence of the inner guard spies, Robert Arryn might not be Jon Arryn’s biological son… After all, his hair color and eye color are obviously different from his parents.
Jon Arryn has blond hair and blue eyes, and Lysa Tully and Catelyn Tully in front of him both have the typical red hair and blue eyes of the Tully family.
But how can the child born have dark brown hair and green eyes?
On the contrary, Lysa’s lover, Petyr Baelish, the current Minister of Finance of the Iron Throne, has dark brown hair and gray-green eyes…
Haha, it’s really interesting!
I don’t know if Jon Arryn ever thought that his heir might be someone else’s when he found out the genetic characteristics of the Baratheon family and thought that none of Cersei’s three children were Robert’s.
But it doesn’t matter if he didn’t think of it. The helpful prince will let people help him at the right time!
We can’t always let honest people suffer. Raising such a big child for no reason, and in the end, even losing his life? !
Damn it, even Wu Dalang is not so wronged. Littlefinger is more cruel than Ximen Qing!
Chaos is the ladder to rise. Now Littlefinger wants to say this, but it depends on whether Jaehaerys is willing to give the ladder or remove the ladder halfway!
Because of the uninvited guests, everyone was not in the mood for the banquet. Jaehaerys had the highest status among the guests, and of course he sat in the guest of honor position closest to the Duke and Duchess.
At the bottom, near the door, sat Jon Snow. He was alone, as if this banquet had nothing to do with him.
Even though he had tried to minimize his exposure to the public, Jaehaerys’s frequent scrutiny made him a little uneasy.
Catelyn glanced at the two of them and thought that Jaehaerys was humiliating her. A bastard actually received more attention than the Duke’s legitimate son, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
However, out of self-restraint, she did not show her face in public.
Soon the banquet ended, and Waymar Royce was taken away by Benjen Stark and his black brothers, and then Bronze Jon left.
Only Jaehaerys and the Stark family were left in the hall.
Sansa looked at the handsome prince and felt her heart pounding. He was so charming, his deep eyes looked like purple crystal, and his white face without beard did not look immature at all.
Especially when the corners of his mouth curled up, it felt like he was smiling for her, and her heart almost melted!
When he rode a dragon and faced thousands of troops alone without fear, he perfectly matched her image of the dragon knight Prince Aemon.
Gods, there is such a perfect man in the world!
She chatted with her sister in a low voice and casually, but her eyes never left the prince.
Ned asked Catelyn to take the children back to the room, but the children were reluctant to leave. This was the only dragon rider in hundreds of years. Who hadn’t heard the story of dragons and dragon riders from the old nanny?
Finally, Catelyn had to take the attitude of a housekeeper’s wife to let the children go back dejectedly, while Jon Snow huddled in the shadow of the corner. If he hadn’t been afraid that Catelyn would think he was rude and cause trouble for him, he would have sneaked away long ago.
“My Lord, I think we might as well let Jon Snow stay and listen to our next conversation. After all, I think he should have the right to know, what do you think!” Jaehaerys sipped the summer red wine in the silver-inlaid amber cup, but his words were shocking.
In an instant, a flash of lightning flashed through the minds of Ned, Catelyn and Jon!
Ned clenched his fists and knocked over the plates and wine glasses in front of him. The red wine stained his gray front, reminding him of more than ten years ago.
Catelyn grabbed her dress tightly. She was furious. Her face was pale and twisted when she turned her back to her husband. This was the pain she could never let go of. Was it the woman named Ashara? But what did this have to do with Targaryen?
She wanted to stay, but she was afraid that when the truth was revealed, she would not be able to withstand the blow of the truth.
She took a deep breath and scolded the children in a trembling but stern tone to leave the hall and return to their rooms.
Then, without even looking at Jon Snow, she left.
“Your Highness, do you know something?” Ned asked in a tone as calm as possible.
“Haha, Lord Ned, I have to say that Lord Howland Reed is really a magical magician, but that’s all!” Jaehaerys said slowly.
Ned looked at Jaehaerys in disbelief, as if he was looking at a monster, a monster more terrifying and hideous than a dragon.
“I don’t understand what you are talking about!” He forced himself to calm down.
“Oh? Are you sure you want me to make it clearer? 14 years ago, the Tower of Joy…”
“Stop it, stop it!” Ned couldn’t help but stop him loudly.
Jon swore that he had never seen his father so vulnerable. He was always like the ice and rock of the North, and his stern face only showed the perseverance of the northerners.
“14 years ago… when I was born, where was the Tower of Joy?” Jon thought.
“Jon, go out, let me be alone with His Royal Highness!” Ned said to him, “This is an order!”
Jon had no choice but to push open the door and leave. He wanted to go around and eavesdrop, or maybe he could lie on the windowsill or the roof like Bran and secretly sweep away the snow… Anyway, bastards never have any honor, right?
But he never had the skills of Bran.
“Hey, Jon!” Bran whispered from the roof, “Don’t you want to listen?”
Jon certainly wanted to know, but compared to that, he didn’t want Bran to know even more. In a vague way, he thought he should escape and not listen to any words they said.
“I should go to the Wall with Uncle Benjen today, put on black clothes, and make the oath of the Night’s Watch men under the weirwood…”
“Bran! You leave too! Otherwise, I will punish you and not let you climb the top of the tower for a year!” Ned’s voice sounded again in the house.
Bran shrugged and whispered to Jon:
“You messed it up!”
Then he ran back to the narrow window of his room along the roof like a monkey.
Now, except for the two riddlers, no one knew what the people in the room were going to say, and Jon couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Jehaerys looked at a corner of the room with a half-smile, “Chameleon!” He whispered the word in his mouth.
Ned was struck by lightning when he heard this. His face turned pale. After a while, he looked at the prince again, “Your Highness, do you know what the consequences of this are?”
“Hehe, Lord Ned, don’t think too much. Now that we have Dragonstone in front of us, his existence is not a problem at all.”
“The purpose of my trip is not to take him away, but just to find an answer that has puzzled me for a long time!”
“Now that I know the answer, there is no need to come again…”
“Oh, by the way! You may not know that Dragonstone has now converted to the Dragon God. If possible, I hope you will not stop the Dragon God’s servants from spreading His faith in the North…” Jaehaerys paused.
