Game of Thrones: King of Magic

Chapter 15

Solomon. Pentos.

After introducing myself, I was invited inside to talk about the benefits of my joining the cause. And a relative of the Azor Ahai candidate... disappointed. Very disappointing.

He chose to skip the banal introduction and, as soon as everyone was seated in the guest room, he immediately began to talk about his cause, without mentioning any of the downsides, of course. The number of times he called himself "king" had already exceeded two dozen within a few minutes of the conversation.

Fina had already at his first proposal preferred to pay more attention to the treats. The magister had a look as if this child's behavior was an everyday occurrence.

Words filled with an extremely strong sense of conceit and unreasonable confidence were cutting to the ear, to say the least. And instead of listening to his speech, I decided to study the personality for which I had come to Essos.

The young girl's gaze never left my figure and was filled with anticipation. She looked at me with such awe and intrigue, as if she had met someone significant in the history of this world. What was remarkable was that her threads of destiny were even thicker than John's. I believe she has a very difficult road ahead of her .

- ... and I will shower you with gifts as soon as the usurper loses his head, - the child finished his tirade and looked at me, frowning his eyebrows - Are you listening to me, magician?

- Of course," I nodded, "But I never heard your name, and neither did your companion.

- Oh, I suppose you are right. My name is Viserys Targaryen, rightful heir to the Seven Kingdoms, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, the last dragon," he began, at the last title I raised an eyebrow, and then Viserys pointed at the girl, "And this is my sister, Daenerys Targaryen.

Hmm... He only mentioned her name, and didn't mention the Magister at all. I take it he's only concerned with himself.

And "the last dragon"? That's a little cocky for my taste. Both Daenerys and Jon have dragon blood in their veins, so the title is unwarranted.

The next moment, I felt a look filled with puzzlement, and turning in his direction, I saw that it came from Fina.

At first, my mind was bewildered by the look I was receiving, and my hand went up to probe my face for something eye-catching. As it turned out, my eyebrows were furrowed. At first I didn't understand why, but later the realization came to me. I was experiencing a feeling that was simultaneously distant but close at the same time... irritation.....

This child was able to cause me to feel irritation. And in this world, that's a first...

How... funny...

- Nice to meet you," I said and looked at him, "May I ask what happens after you sit on the Iron Throne?

- Of course, I will get rid of all the traitors and minions of the usurper, - he answered instantly - Their castles will be burned to the ground and their names will be erased from history. And those loyal to my family will be made golden and given their lands. And so will you, magician, if you join me. Why do you call yourself that, by the way? Don't people like you call themselves "sorcerers"?

- Indeed," Illyrio nodded and looked at me cautiously, 'Also, there is a rumor going around the city that the son of the recently deceased magister Ordello was assisted by a certain 'magician'. It's you, isn't it?

I only smiled in response. This made the magister wary and threw a warning glance in the direction of the overconfident child... who ignored it.

- So you agree to support your king, magician? - Viserys asked.
