Dragons were free creatures аnd Aegon wanted to be free too.But his mother had completely different plans for him.Shebegan to load him more and more with classes.There is no time for games.Why can Aemond and Helaena have fun, but he can't? It's not fair!The lessons are so boring, necessary, that the boy could barely restrain a yawn and sit in oneplace.After studies, his mother took him to the library and gave him books, leaving him to study them further.
— You are the future king, and you should know a lot about Aegon.
The king?But what about his older sister Rhaenyra ? Her father proclaimed her his heir.And he, too, was not against her becoming a ruler.She has a beautiful dragon Syrax, the same silver hair as him. She's a Targaryen!But no one asked the prince's opinion.Almost every person in the palace told him that hewould be a good king.And he doesn't even want to be one!More than anything, the prince wanted to fly around theworld on his dragon.Travel, get to know the world better. The door creaked open and Aegon picked up the first book he came across.The boy didn'twant to be lectured by his grandfather or his mother. Especially from Grandpa.He often called him the firstborn Hightower, which puzzled him. He's a Targaryen, so whydoes he call him Hightower?Fortunately, it was not his mother or grandfather who entered the library, but his older halfsister Rhaenyra .Honestly, he was a little nervous because in his entire life, Egon had talked toher only twice.The first time when she herself came to greet him,Putting down the next wrong book, Rhaenyra went to the table where there were many differentbooks, froze in place.A tired little Aegon was sitting at the table.The first son of Alicent andhis father.Her main rival for the throne.The little brother she dreamed of once upon a time.
— Good evening, brother. I see you decided before dinner to get full of knowledge?
Aegon frowned at his sister's words.Has he decided?It was his mother.If he had his way, hewould have run away to the garden long ago.Noticing this, Rhaenyra did not attach any importance to it.Well, which child likes to study?She, too, did not particularly like to study asa child.
— What are you doing here, Sister?
Also before dinner, decided to have a snack? Aegon asked with genuine curiosity.
— I was looking for fairy tales for my dear Jacaerys.He no longer likes the fairy tales that Iread before.
— Jacaerys?
— My son.
Well, for sure, he heard that his sister gave birth to a small child, the heir of the Velarionfamily.The mother got angry for some reason and even broke the vase.Then they sat in silence.Aegon was looking at his legs, and the woman was looking at thebooks that her brother was reading.Some of them are still too early for him to study.
— Aegon, qilōni teptan ao these tembyr? pōnta ȳdra daor suit aōha ābrītsos age.
Aegon looked at his sister with incomprehension.What did she just say?Seeing the incomprehension on his face, Rhaenyra almost grabbed a blow.Does he not know Valyrian?Where is the father looking?Damn Alicent!She doesn't teach him what a Targaryen heir should know.
— You don't study Valyrian?But how will you talk to your dragon?
— Talk?
— Aegon, your future dragon is not an animal, he is your friend. Part of you. As a Targaryen,you must speak to him in the language of dragons, Valyrian, or he will not understand yourintentions.
Aegon was surprised.His mother had never told him that.
— I understand and at the same time I don't understand you.Why did you tell me about this?
If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have learned or learned only the basics and wouldn't havegotten a dragon.The throne is free for you. Although I don't want to sit on it.It's boring to sit in one place.I'd rather look at the world.Rhaenyra was surprised by her brother's words.He voiced his thoughts and they differed fromthe words of the servants and many lords.Aegon realized at such a young age that the crown was too heavy. Not just for him, but forher. And she herself knows perfectly well, just Dragon stubbornness does not allow her to dootherwise.
— Brother, we are of the same blood, even if we do not communicate,but I care about you.Ofcourse I'm not going to withhold important information from you for you.We should have anequal chance for the throne.
Aegon wants to protest that he doesn't care about the throne, but Rhaenyra keeps talking.
— Not now, but in the future you may well wantt he throne.
So from now on, you'd better study Valyrian and put some of these books away.While youdon't need them, don't load your head with unnecessary information.
— Okay, I'll try.But what do you say, Mother?She will obviously be unhappy with me.
— Don't worry, I'll talk to my father about your classes and she won't mind.
He wouldn't dare. She's already done things.
— And now come with me, you will help me choose a fairy tale for your nephew and at thesame time get to know him.
Aegon immediately brightened at the thought of leaving this boring, gloomy library. And hewill also see his nephew.
