The Exiled King.

Part 14

Aegon's Pov, 

Approaching the steps beneath the golden throne, I settle on the topmost one and pat the space behind me, prompting Dany to come over and sit down beside me. "A long time ago the people of Old Valyria where able to bond with dragons, together with them and their use of Blood Magic they where able to conquer great parts of Essos, none could match their power........at its height Valyria had more than 300 dragon riders." I begin as I look in front of me while I see her look at me from the comer of my eye. 

"The Valyrian Freehold was led by the 40 dragonlord Families, and their greed and hunger for power eventually caused the Doom of Valyria some say, some speak that it's the price they paid for the Blood Magic was used, other's say it was a punishment from the god's. Daenys the Dreamer had a dream that foresaw the doom of Valyria, and her father took all his belongings, dragons and traveled to the most Western Outpost they had...... a Island called Dragonstone. All the other dragonlords called them cowards for running and said that nothing could tear them down." 

"But it did right..... the Doom?" She's quick to follow up and I nod my head. "It did and with that the Targaryen's where the last Dragonlord Family left in the world, years later Aegon had a dream..... a dream that made him Conquer Westeros....... to have it all united under one King." I continue as I turn to look at her while she now has a small frown on her face. "Aegon like you?" 

"Like me yes, Aegon's line continued to rule over Westeros..... till this day the Targaryen's rule, and with them the Dragons. My father..... your grandsire is King Viserys Targaryen................ I am Aegon Targaryen and when my father passes the throne is mine as his firstborn son." I softly say and she looks at me with shock. 

"B-but than why are we here? W-why can't we do what we wish if your a prince?" 

"Things aren't always easy or how they seem Dany, I was young and did something stupid....... something out of anger and my actions led to me running away with my mother and setteling here. Where I met your mother and we had you, one day when the time is right, we together will return to Westeros, I will take my throne and one day you after me will sit the Iron Throne.... that's why I've been having you study all those things." I say as I wrap my arm around her shoulders and pull her closer to me. 

"And we can't fly because your scared people will see us? And then tell your father where we are? D-do you think he would harm us?" She asks me while looking up and I release a sigh. "I don't think he ever would. Sitting on Dragonback is one thing Daenerys but sitting on the Iron Throne is the most dangerous seat there is, there will always be people who play their own games..... work for their own plans in the darkness. As king or Queen it's our duty that we keep the Realm united, and it's people happy........ we've been living a life of farmers and your mother fishing.........the people you need on your side are those people." 

"You can have all the armies in the world, but if the common folk turns against you........ you will be dead. Do you understand what I'm saying?" I  ask her and she nods her head slightly before leaning her head against my chest. 

"I'm sorry for flying away, I-I understand now why we cannot fly that much...... or in the daylight." she softly says, and I place a kiss against the top of her head, before looking around the large chamber once more. 

"I forgive you, but what is this place?" 

"Don't know....... I found it once, I think kings also once used to live here......... and that they rode the Basilisks like how we ride the dragons. There are some papers with it on them." She says and I pull away from her, if people can ride Basilisks...... if we can teach people to bond with them like how we bond with the dragons. Imagine me sailing back with a army of Basilisk riders?
