Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: You can try it!

Annoyed, Viserys turned his head and found that it was Aegon who had smashed the table!

The air felt frozen at this moment!

Everyone was completely stunned, never expecting that Aegon would dare to defy Viserys so forcefully!

Even Alicent was like this.

She had thought Aegon would be very firm, but she hadn't expected him to be so firm that even she was startled.

"Helena is not a tool; she will marry whoever she wants!

If anyone wants Helena to marry someone she doesn't like, they can try!"

Aegon's gaze was icy, and his voice was like a biting wind!

Now that Aemond had tamed Vhagar, the Greens' strength had greatly increased.

Aegon was not preparing to continue maintaining his image as a "good child" but instead directly revealed his fangs.

If you pretend to be a pig for too long, you'll really become one!

"Roar—"

A low growl followed closely.

Sunfyre's golden vertical pupils had appeared outside the window at some point.

They were pressed tightly against the window, not blinking, shimmering with infinite killing intent under the illumination of the torches!

It was a naked and undisguised threat!

At the same time.

Hugh had silently moved behind Aegon.

Criston, without leaving a trace, walked to Alicent's side.

And the two Royal Guard members responsible for protecting Viserys today, Ser Rickard and Ser Steffon, were staring nervously at Hugh.

Their hands had even unconsciously touched their sword hilts!

They had heard about Hugh's situation long ago and remembered it vividly!

That year, Hugh's son was born prematurely, and Aegon spent money and effort to barely save his son's life.

But within three months, Hugh's son contracted a very serious lung disease.

At that time, Hugh himself had already given up, but Aegon personally rode a Dragon to Oldtown and found the most professional maesters.

Finally, after two and a half months of trouble, his son's life was barely saved.

Therefore, Hugh was not only terrifyingly strong and highly skilled in combat, but also possessed an almost abnormal level of execution!

It was no exaggeration to say that even if Aegon ordered Hugh to chop off Viserys's head, Hugh would not hesitate for a moment!

More importantly, based on their past sparring experience, even if the two of them teamed up, they might not be a match for Hugh.

Although the two thought that Aegon shouldn't be crazy enough to have Hugh chop off his own father's head.

But, but what if?

Viserys's face was flushed red, forcing himself to maintain his composure, and displayed his fatherly authority.

"Do you know what you are saying?"

"Are you threatening your father and sister?"

Viserys looked shocked.

He couldn't believe that Aegon would publicly threaten him!

He hadn't thought that today's matter would end in failure.

But he had never expected that his biggest obstacle would be his eldest son, who had always been obedient and sensible!

But Aegon didn't care whether Viserys lost face or his authority was damaged at this point!

Aegon also knew the principle that "the crying child gets the milk," but he rarely went to "cry" to Viserys.

If he was preparing to "cry" to Viserys, it must be about conflicts with Rhaenyra.

And in Viserys's heart, Rhaenyra and Aegon were never a multiple-choice question.

For Aegon, he didn't need to "cry"; he just needed to steadily persist until 120 AC.

The Black Party had lost two Dragon riders in succession, and their strength had plummeted.

It was just that Aegon had never expected.

Viserys had somehow developed the idea that "Aegon is willing to sacrifice everything for his father and elder sister."

Let alone Helena not wanting to marry Jacaerys; even if Helena was willing, he would not agree!

The eighty-eight-year-old Dreamfyre was one of the core combat forces of the Greens, plus Helena's status as a Dreamer.

He would have to be out of his mind to give Helena to the Black Party.

And the moment Viserys proposed that Helena marry Jacaerys.

Aegon's last shred of respect for Viserys vanished.

Today, he would absolutely not make even the slightest concession, even if it meant directly falling out with Viserys!

Seeing this, Rhaenyra immediately stood up hypocritically: "Don't be angry, Father.

Aegon, you are not young anymore; you should know our responsibilities as members of the royal bloodline.

Besides, feelings can be cultivated slowly, can't they?"

At this moment, Corlys, who was nearby, suddenly glanced at Rhaenyra, and a clear look of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

However, Corlys didn't say much and continued to watch the show.

He already knew why Alicent had suddenly sat back down earlier.

He also wanted to know how far Aegon would go in the end.

"Your Grace must not wrong me."

"First, I am not threatening anyone."

"Secondly, I am just expressing my stance; the bottom line cannot be crossed!"

Aegon spoke expressionlessly, but he was ready to overturn the table at any moment in his heart.

And Viserys was speechless for a moment upon hearing Aegon call him "Your Grace," falling into silence.

Seeing this, Rhaenyra had to mediate, but she was unwilling to give up this opportunity.

"Father, please sit down first."

After speaking, Rhaenyra looked at Ser again.

"Ser, please add a seat next to Helena so the two children can get to know each other first."

Ser was appointed as Rhaenyra's guard by Viserys, so he naturally had to obey Rhaenyra's orders and was about to get a chair.

"Ser, if you dare to add that chair now, I will add you to Sunfyre's dinner!"

Hearing this, Ser's steps instantly stopped.

With the current strength of the Greens, if Aegon was determined to deal with him, it is estimated that no one could stop Aegon.

"Aegon, threatening a Royal Guard is treason. Stop throwing a tantrum, alright?"

Rhaenyra was secretly pleased that Aegon was threatening a Royal Guard.

On the surface, she was kindly reminding him, but in reality, she was reminding Viserys to "see what Aegon just did."

Unfortunately, the current Greens not only had four Dragons but also controlled half of the court!

Aegon was completely immune to this!

"Ser, I suggest you give the chair to my sister. See if I dare to let Sunfyre tear Syrax apart alive!"

"Syrax is our family's Dragon. Attacking Syrax is high treason, and Caraxes and I will absolutely not allow such a thing to happen."

Daemon leaned back lazily in his chair, his lips curled up, looking at Aegon with admiration, but more with killing intent!

Aegon was about to mock Daemon, after all, Daemon had committed quite a few serious crimes, it was just that Viserys was soft-hearted!

However, before Aegon could speak, Aemond first looked at Daemon provocatively.

"Is that so? Then you can certainly try, my dear uncle, but before that, I hope Caraxes can protect himself first before saying anything else."

"This is a farce, but Daemon is right, true Dragons cannot kill each other."

Rhaenys, who had been silent, finally spoke.

In her opinion, this was a complete farce.

And Viserys, who had instigated this farce, had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter!

As the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, he was going back on his word and changing his orders constantly.

He still thought he could control the overall situation and control Aegon, who had been deeply scheming since childhood!

And Viserys did not realize that he had been belittled by his cousin once again in her heart.

His face was full of anger.

He was just about to use his "sleeping Dragon's fury" to suppress the clashing parties.

But he was interrupted by Helena.

"Aunt, if Sunfyre wants to, he can definitely tear Syrax apart. I guarantee it."

Instantly, Helena's words stunned everyone.

No one expected the usually gentle and quiet Helena to say such a thing.

For a moment, the appropriate smile on Rhaenyra's face became somewhat uncontrollable.

And Daemon and Rhaenys simultaneously fell silent.

If Sunfyre truly wanted to tear Syrax apart alive, Caraxes and Meleys might be able to stop Sunfyre and Vhagar.

But they definitely couldn't stop Sunfyre, Vhagar, and Dreamfyre!

As for the fifth-generation Dragons like Vermax and Arrax...

Forget about helping; it would be good enough if they weren't entangled by that kid Daeron's Tessarion!

Aegon had stated his position and was too lazy to waste any more words, so he directly got up and left.

He left behind one last sentence before leaving.

"I'm tired, you eat first. Father, remember to drink less alcohol, it's not good for your health."

As Aegon got up.

Alicent, Helena, and other members of the Greens also rose to take their leave.

Even half of the guards who had followed from King's Landing left; they were all people from the Hightower Family.

At this point, Viserys belatedly realized that the Greens had somehow slipped out of his control.

On the other side, Aegon, who had left in a huff, was not afraid of what Viserys would do to him.

Firstly, because Viserys greatly valued family affection, and secondly, because the current Greens already controlled half of the court and had significant influence.

At most, Viserys would make a big deal out of this and then quietly drop it.

Finally, he would put on a show for outsiders.

Of course, if Viserys was determined to fall out with him for Rhaenyra's sake.

Then Aegon wouldn't mind uniting with the Greens' allies to carry out a "purge the wicked from the king's side and pacify the country's difficulties"!

But honestly, Aegon didn't think Viserys was likely to fall out with him.

Currently, there are not many Dragons in the Seven Kingdoms that are capable of fighting and have riders.

Rhaenyra has Syrax, Caraxes, and Meleys by her side.

But behind Aegon are Sunfyre, Vhagar, Dreamfyre, and Tessarion!

Four Dragons; the smallest, Tessarion, is as big as Seasmoke.

Neither side had the ability to absolutely crush the other.

Once they fell out, the best outcome would be mutual destruction, and this was precisely what Viserys least wanted to see.

Moreover, unless absolutely necessary, Aegon did not want to engage in any "purging the wicked."

Engaging in "purging the wicked" while Viserys was still alive would easily lead to being labeled as a rebel.
