Chapter 206 - The Golden Company (II)
"The worst thing is when the roast pig doesn't realize it's the main course about to be served on a silver platter," thought Aurane Waters, as he stared at the fourteen-year-old boy in front of him.
------------
When Aurane boarded the ship, his eyes fell on the apparent leader, a boy of no more than fourteen or fifteen. Hair dyed blue and dark purple eyes that looked a purplish-blue. He was handsome, very handsome to say the least.
There was an inviting smile on his lips as every gesture he made showed that he had received a noble education, specifically, a noble education from Westeros, not Essos.
Aurane was certain that the boy in front of him was a Blackfire. Of course, it was only his speculation, but seeing the leaders of the Golden Company acting respectfully in front of the young man, it was clear that his status was extraordinary among the mercenaries.
Putting all this together and remembering that the Golden Company was a pawn in the hands of the Blackfire, Aurane was almost certain that the young man was a Blackfire.
But the next words from the bearded man, wearing black armor with a griffin on his chest, made his expression change dramatically.
"You are in front of Aegon, Sixth of His Name..." The long list of titles came out of Jon Connington's mouth without any delay.
Aurane almost died of fear hearing the man's words, but soon calmed down. From the man's words, the young man in front of him was Aegon, son of Prince Rhaegar and the Princess of Dorne, Ellia Martell. However, as far as Aurane knew, Prince Aegon had been killed along with Princess Ellia.
Aurane heard from Daenerys that Princess Rhaenys was alive, so he thought about the supposed death of the princess.
'If the princess is alive, the prince might be too...' Aurane thought, but the idea of flattering young Aegon vanished as if it hadn't existed.
