Chapter 106: Varys: There is a conspiracy

"Your expression says you are worried right now," Daenerys said.

"Is it that obvious?"

"Of course, there is no need for us to say more. I am very clear about your ambitions. I understood it after I learned about your identity as the Sea King.

What you are worried about now is the issue of succession."

Daenerys took Jack's hand and gently placed it on her belly.

"It's twins. I can sense it. I can give the first-born child to you to raise, so you don't have to worry about the inheritance issue."

Jack narrowed his eyes slightly. If they were really twins, and he could raise the first-born child himself, then the problem could really be solved.

Because Jack doesn't need to have a queen. The main reason why Jack has a queen is to have a clear heir so that the empire can be stable.

In this way, Daenerys gave her eldest son to raise by herself, so Jack did not need to establish a queen and the problem of heir was solved.

"what do you want?"

Daenerys rolled her eyes at Jack with a charming look, "I'm already pregnant with your child, why are you still so distant?"

"Well, since you said so, I will..."

"I want you to help me take back the Iron Throne, and I won't give you the Vale anymore. Westeros will be mine, and Essos will be yours."

Seeing that Jack was really going to be rude, Danny immediately interrupted Jack.

She divided the two known continents of the Ice and Fire World into two parts just like dividing a cake.

"I knew it." Jack didn't even have to think about what else Dany wanted besides the Iron Throne.

"The Iron Throne is my lifelong pursuit. I am now the only heir to the Targaryen family. I am a true dragon, and I must take back everything that the Dragon family has lost."

Daenerys expressed her ideal that the Iron Throne is her lifelong pursuit.

She had naively told her second brother Viserys that she just wanted to live happily.

But ever since she discovered that Viserys was not a real dragon, she suddenly realized that she was the true heir to the Iron Throne.

From then on, she made it her responsibility to regain the Iron Throne.

"I remember you are Rhaegar's sister, right?" Jack suddenly said.

Daenerys looked at him in confusion, "Yes, my oldest brother is Rhaegar Targaryen. It was said that he was the prince prophesied, but then it was said that his son was, but unfortunately all his children died."

Jack nodded. "Yes, they are dead, but not extinct. The prince in the prophecy may still be alive."

In the American TV series, Jon Snow is the surviving son of Rhaegar, whose real name is Aegon Targaryen.

The real Aegon Targaryen, not Aegon the Blackfyre of the Golden Company.

Aegon Targaryen of the Golden Company, or Aegon Blackfyre, is most likely the child of Illyrio and his ex-wife Shilla.

In A Dance with Dragons, young Griffin makes his debut and is introduced as Aegon Targaryen, son of Rhaegar and rightful heir to the Iron Throne.

Similar to many speculations, the story is that Varys replaced the crown prince with a cat in the Red Keep and smuggled the infant Aegon out of the palace.

He was raised in secret in Essos and handed over to the exiled Griffin - at Varys's suggestion.

He pretended to die of drunkenness in a foreign land - and educated Jon Connington and some other people in Westeros.

The purpose of education is to make him a perfect heir.

It seems like a sophisticated and old-fashioned story, but it still has many loopholes.

Although many objective details matched, including his age and Valyrian appearance, Connington had no solid evidence that this Aegon was that other Aegon.

All he knew was what Varys said.

Valyrian features are not uncommon in the Free Cities, especially Lys and Volantis - in A Song of Ice and Fire, especially in A Dance with Dragons, it is mentioned many times that these two places have a large number of silver-haired and purple-eyed people.

It would have been easy for Varys and his accomplice, Illyrio Mopatis, to find such a baby, give it to a man like Connington who was eager to return to Westeros to seek his former glory, and then invent a believable story.

The most interesting bit comes from the conversation between Illyrio and Tyrion.

As they set out from Pentos to look for Griffin and others, Illyrio revealed three important pieces of information.

1. Illyrio was madly in love with his deceased "ex-wife", Shilla of Lys.

2. Silas of Rees has silver-gold hair.

3. His relationship with Varys is not simple.

This made Jack guess that Aegon Targaryen of the Golden Company was actually the child of Illyrio and his ex-wife Shilla.

Then, with the help and planning of Varys, they prepared to replace the prince with a cat.

From protecting Daenerys and her siblings at the beginning, to instigating Viserys to sell Daenerys to the King of the Horse, every step was planned by them.

As the chief of intelligence, Varys's little birds are spread all over Westeros and Essos, and he has an extremely clear understanding of the military strength of the Seven Kingdoms.

Horselord Drogo's 40,000 Dothraki howling warriors seem powerful, but the Westerlands alone are not something that Horselord Drogo can deal with.

The army of the Westerly is well-armed, the soldiers are well-trained, and the various arms are well coordinated. It is simply a fantasy to think that they can retake the Iron Throne by relying solely on cavalry.

What's more, once the Horse King lands in Westeros, Westeros will definitely put aside their grudges temporarily and unite against the outside world.

That's why Varys secretly went with the flow, turned a blind eye to Littlefinger's conspiracy, and let the Seven Kingdoms fall into chaos.

When the seven kingdoms have fought each other to a point where they are almost done, let Viserys lead the Dothraki to land in Westeros, and the seven kingdoms, which have been exhausted again, will surely become a spent force.

By then, the Golden Company will lead its elite troops to land in Westeros, and with the false identity made up by Aegon Targaryen, they will be able to ascend the Iron Throne and rule the Seven Kingdoms.

But the plan went terribly wrong. Horselord Drogo was killed by Daenerys' kindness, and his men scattered.

Then, before Varys and Illyrio could make their next plan, Daenerys brought back the ancient sky overlord who had disappeared for a hundred years without any warning.

So Varys changed his plan again, and the dragon had three heads in the language, which meant that the dragon had three riders.

They were planning to have Daenerys marry Aegon Blackfyre. Aegon had Blackfyre blood, so in theory he could tame a dragon.

Then, after Daenerys becomes pregnant and gives birth, he will poison her to death.

This transformed Aegon Blackfyre from consort to king.

But something unexpected happened to Varys.

The accident was Jack himself. It was ok for Daenerys to hatch a baby dragon, after all, she was the daughter of the Mad King.

But the sudden appearance of a Blackfyre descendant, who was a pirate at that, was able to get dragon eggs and hatch baby dragons. This made Varys suspect that it was a conspiracy of another unknown force.
