#469 - Chapter 203: Deciding to Fall Out (I)

After everyone left, Aegon sat down on the chair, looking a little dejected. Arianne gently came to his side and said, "You shouldn't expose your weakness in front of your subjects. If even you are afraid, how can you expect them to continue fighting desperately?"

Aegon took her hand and said, "What do you think I should do? When I was very young, Griff taught me that I would be responsible for revitalizing the Targaryen family in the future."

"But suddenly one day, I discovered that I also have an uncle and an aunt. They are also fighting for this goal, and they are doing better than me. Sometimes, I really feel like I'm superfluous. If Uncle Viserys were still alive, he would have already taken King's Landing and re-ascended the Iron Throne. Daenerys wouldn't have had to cross the sea," Aegon's eyes revealed a trace of confusion.

Arianne squeezed his hand and comforted him, "You are not alone, you still have me! Varys is right, in the game of power, you can only be a winner, otherwise you may lose your life. Since I married you, the entire Dorne is behind you. There are other people who support you, and we will get through this together."

Aegon nodded slightly, feeling a bit more determined in his heart. He stood up and hugged Arianne tightly. "I understand, I cannot let down their expectations. From now on, I will work harder and fight for the glory of the Targaryen family."

Pentos, this ancient and solemn city, stands with a magnificent manor surrounded by a twelve-foot-high red brick wall. At this moment, a large number of fully armed and serious-looking soldiers tightly surround the manor. They are wearing uniform uniforms, and it can be seen from their clothing and equipment that these soldiers belong to the city guard, obviously a well-trained and disciplined team.

This manor is Illyrio's residence. It is usually solemn and quiet, but now it is filled with a tense atmosphere. The guards at the gate widened their eyes, their faces full of astonishment and disbelief. They never dreamed that anyone would dare to surround this place. At this moment, a well-dressed and distinguished butler strode forward. He held his head high and questioned in a loud voice, "Who exactly are you working for? Don't you know that this is the courtyard of Lord Illyrio? You must know that Lord Illyrio is the most powerful magister in all of Pentos! Get out of here! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

However, the soldiers did not retreat in the face of the butler's rebuke. A fat man slowly walked out of the crowd, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's, revealing an undeniable majesty. This man was Magister Vokesson Nharatis, and he shouted loudly, "Illyrio Mopatis has colluded with the Westeros rebels in private, seriously damaging the interests of Pentos. According to the decision of the Magister Council and the order of the Prince of Pentos, it has now been decided to remove Illyrio from his position as magister, deprive him of all his status and all his property in Pentos. This order takes effect immediately! Anyone who dares to obstruct the law will be killed without mercy!"

Hearing these words, the butler couldn't help but gasp, his face full of shock, muttering to himself, "It's actually Magister Vokesson Nharatis... How is this possible... My master is loyal to Pentos and has been diligently maintaining the prosperity of Pentos for many years. He cannot betray Pentos." He couldn't believe what was happening in front of him, and his heart was full of doubts and fears.

Vokesson Nharatis waved his hand with a gloomy expression and said sternly, "Enough talk! Come on, rush in immediately. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot!" With his order, a group of ferocious and fierce city guards rushed in like a tide, aggressively rushing towards the manor. The guards standing at the door were so frightened that their faces turned pale. How could they have the courage to resist? They threw the weapons in their hands on the ground at will, then hugged their heads with their hands and quickly curled up in the corner, shivering. After all, everyone was just out to make a living, and it was really not worth losing their precious lives for this!

After these soldiers rushed into the manor, they began to search around recklessly. For a time, the entire manor was in chaos. Even worse, some soldiers with bad character took advantage of the chaos to touch and flirt with the beautiful maids and graceful dancers, and the scene was simply unsightly. Before long, wisps of green smoke suddenly emerged from the manor, slowly rising.

Seeing this situation, Magister Vokesson was furious and cursed, "Which damned bastard did this! Dare to set fire here! Go and find this bastard for me and whip him hard with a leather whip. Anyone who dares to destroy property will suffer such punishment." After saying that, he kicked the officer next to him hard.

The poor city guard officer felt very wronged in his heart, muttering to himself, "What does this have to do with me? I didn't set the fire..." However, he didn't dare to complain at all, so he could only agree obsequiously, and then turned around and quickly left to carry out the order. Looking at his gritted teeth, the arsonist must be doomed this time, and I'm afraid he won't have a good time!

Seeing that there was no one else around, Magister Vokesson showed a trace of flattery on his face and said in a slightly flattering tone, "Commander Misda, the rebel Illyrio's manor has now fallen into our hands! I believe it won't be long before all his properties in the city will be confiscated. We dare not neglect the orders issued by Lord Galon, and we have all followed them one by one. I wonder what your lord plans to do about this..."

The man standing next to Magister Vokesson, who was as strong as an ox, was none other than Misda, the famous commander under Liu Yuan. This person not only bears the long-term responsibility of defending the legion in Pentos and the northern regions, but also has jurisdiction over nearly 40,000 Slark people staying in Pentos. All of this shows his supreme status and power.

Just today, Misda received an urgent order from Liu Yuan, requesting him to immediately conduct direct negotiations with the high-level officials of Pentos, and take decisive action to target the various properties left by Illyrio in Pentos. This is done on the one hand to provoke the anger of the Black Iron clan, and on the other hand to completely cut off their retreat.
