Chapter 999 Brothers Confrontation
And although Aemon is not as talented as his brother Helos in all aspects, it is only relative to a pervert like Helos.
In fact, for other ordinary people, Aemon, who has received the royal elite education, is still very outstanding.
And when he heard his brother's sudden change of conversation, the expression on his face suddenly froze slightly.
Maester Aemon?
Maester Aemon saved the lives of their mother and son, especially for Aemon himself, so at that time, her mother gave this miserable birth in the cold wind to thank Maester Aemon for his life-saving grace. The child named Aemon, which is the origin of the boy's name.
Therefore, Aemon naturally knew a lot about the Aemon maester who had the same name as himself.
However, Aemon is not stupid. The most admirable and popular story of Maester Aemon is his good character. He adhered to his beliefs and oaths, and took the initiative to give up the throne that was about to be acquired, just to save the country from war.
Because although the former Prime Minister secretly granted the throne, but after all, Aemon has voluntarily given up his surname and inheritance rights to become a bachelor, and Aemon taking over the throne will inevitably fall into the hands, and even cause the country to fall into division.
And it was Maester Aemon's perseverance that allowed Aegon, the ancestor of their tribe, who "should not be king", to take over the throne, and this led to the subsequent series of stories "The Tragedy of Summer Hall" and Prince Rhaegar's Nativity, the War of the Reavers, and later the retaking of the Iron Throne, established the Valyrian Empire.
Therefore, the intention of the brother's remarks and the allusions to Aemon were instantly reflected, but his expression was a little sad. I don't know why the brother was so interested in this matter, but it was because of this that he was even more unable to give up.
On the other side, Diana heard the second brother's sudden question, and her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was a little unhappy.
"Heros"
She didn't know why Helos said such words at such a rare reunion of brothers.
But then her eyes still fell on her younger brother Aemon, and she was also a little curious about how Aemon would answer?
Pretend you don't understand?
Or will he bow his head and admit defeat to the strong brother who has already taken advantage of this and won the support of many nobles?
Or make a strong response?
Although Diana didn't like her second brother's words being so straightforward, she didn't speak up for Aemon, and even Diana had a vague expectation that Aemon would bow to Helos.
If Aemon would take the initiative to bow his head and admit defeat, based on her understanding of Helos, he is definitely not the kind of person who does not care about brotherhood at all. Maybe Helos will accept Aemon, and the Valyrian Empire will be spared from a huge storm .
However, the eyes of the eldest brother and sister all fell on Aemon. After he heard it, he was silent for a moment, and then he pursed his lips and answered honestly.
"Maester Aemon is of high character, and he ceded the throne to his brother Aegon."
Aemon's words were succinct and concise, directly summing up the most commendable aspects of Maester Aemon, but for some unknown reason, after his words fell, the scene was suddenly deadly silent.
Diana retracted her gaze slightly, although she felt a little disappointed, she secretly clenched her fist in her cuff.
Of course, she didn't blame Aemon for making such an answer, in fact she didn't know what she was angry about.
Maybe that iron chair?
The expression on Helos' face did not change much after hearing his brother's words, but he was relieved, as if he had already guessed that his brother would answer this way.
The strong wind on the top of the mountain blew, causing the black cloak behind Heros to rattle. His dark hair fluttered in the wind. He stared at Aemon with deep eyes, and he saw that the silver-haired boy had a faint chill on his back, and then he felt dizzy. Then he slowly took a deep breath and said.
"So that's your answer? Maester Aemon gave his throne to his brother Aegon?"
"My little brother?"
Helos stared at Aemon, his eyes calm, without anger, without indifference, just staring, waiting for an answer.
And Aemon's face tightened slightly, because the bearing and strength between the two were far from each other, and even the difference was huge.
Helos is much older than Aemon, and he also began to take charge of himself a long time ago, mastering the power of life and death, and became one of the most powerful people in the empire.
And Aemon only took over the Targaryen family's back garden High Court a few years ago, and he himself did not stay in the High Court for long, but has been following Pantos by the side of Governor Pantos. .
Therefore, the gloomy sky now shrouded in black mist above his head also reflected the atmosphere of this moment.
And Aemon was stared at by his brother and only felt a little breathless in his chest.
Even now, he can't wait to open his mouth and wants to directly admit defeat, give up his coveting father's position, and be willing to be his brother's assistant to help him manage the country.
However, Aemon is not a good baby character, otherwise he would not have made so many 'friends' in King's Landing, and even once became a headache for the court teachers, so they often taught Aemon to ask His Highness Helos. study, and Aemon is afraid every time he sees his brother.
Perhaps from then on, Aemon took a sigh of relief and wanted to prove himself to his brother, at least so that he could see him in his eyes.
"That's right... that's my answer."
"elder brother!"
And Aemon faced his brother's strong gaze, and the flame that was suppressed in his chest finally burst into flames.
This flame urged him to raise his head and look directly into Helos' eyes, and even made him straighten his chest and face his elder brother's gaze, and then said word by word.
"Um?"
Aemon's sudden change made Heros, who was accustomed to looking at Aemon from above and below, slightly unaccustomed, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
On the other hand, Diana, who was watching the confrontation between the two brothers, had long since given up the illusion of brotherhood. She was also a little surprised by Aemon's sudden bravery, knowing that this little brother of hers had always been like Heros. As timid as a rabbit.
"I'm glad you can look at me like this now, my brother."
The flame was burning in Aemon's chest. He looked directly at Helos without flinching, and then spoke firmly.
"Do you remember the last time you looked at me with a straight eye, when was it?"
"Yes, you don't remember."
"Because you have never looked at me with this kind of eyes, and even arrogant you have never regarded me as an opponent."
The sudden toughness of the always weak brother made Heros feel slightly uncomfortable, and his next words made the expression on his face startled.
