Chapter 240 - 241 - The Great War of Salvation (II)
"If you have no enemies, you are not living correctly. We all need rivals to grow and become stronger." Aenar Targaryen.
------------
Inside Maester Aemon’s simple room, the entire Targaryen family was reunited after so long.
"Great-uncle." Rhaella greeted Aemon with a tone full of emotion; she never imagined that Maekar’s old son was still alive. If it weren’t for Aenar, she wouldn’t even know he was still alive and probably would have.
"Oh, my sweet girl." Looking at his brother Aegon’s granddaughter, Aemon showed a gentle and warm gaze. His family was the most important thing in the world to him; even the Throne was nothing more than a piece of metal in his eyes.
Those nobles wanted to use him to hurt his brother, but how could he allow something like that to happen? He refused the throne and passed it to his brother, Aegon V, who was Rhaella’s grandfather.
"These are my daughters, Daenerys and Visenya, the other is my niece, Rhaenys." Rhaella introduced her daughters with a childlike look, as if she were a little girl again from many years ago.
"Hahaha." A genuinely happy laugh escaped Aemon’s lips as he looked at the young women before him; he spoke with a gentle tone full of wisdom. "You can call me grandfather, children."
Daenerys looked at the man before her with curiosity. In an era where people lived short lives, living 98 years was simply a miracle. Approaching the old man, she asked with a curious tone. "Grandfather, is it true you met Duncan the Tall?"
"Yes, he was enormous, not as tall as Aenar, but he was very big. I looked like a child next to him. His skill with the sword was even more impressive, as fast as lightning and as deadly as a great knight." Aemon replied with a happy tone; nothing made an old man happier than talking about past history.
After Daenerys, Visenya and Rhaenys began to ask countless interesting things that happened throughout the Targaryen Dynasty. After all, not everyone was Aenar, who could casually revisit the past.
