Chapter 216: Surprise

After saying this, Daenerys suddenly remembered something and turned her head abruptly to look at Drogon who flew back to her shoulder.

"Nephew...nephew..., did Drogon already know Jon's true identity at that time?"

She remembered the first time she saw Jon come to Dragonstone, when Drogon seemed to have said, "The eldest nephew is here."

At that time, I was wondering why Drogon called Jon that. It turned out that he already knew it but didn't tell me.

Daenerys gritted her teeth and glared at Drogon.

[Isn't this more surprising? ]

Drogon didn't care about Daenerys' threatening look and still looked like he was enjoying the show.

Daenerys was so angry that she quietly reached out her hand to her shoulder and pinched Drogon's claw hard, but Drogon didn't feel much. However, Daenerys's nails hurt, and she could only remember Drogon's performance of watching the fun in her heart.

When Bran heard Daenerys' question and saw the surprised expression on her face, he was sure that Drogon did not tell her Jon's true identity.

I could only explain: "I heard this from my aunt myself, but I didn't believe it at the time... and I saw their wedding..."

By the time Bran finished speaking, Daenerys had probably believed it. Without hearing Drogon's doubtful words, she was even more certain of the truth of Bran's story.

When she learned that her brother Rhaegar had secretly dissolved his marriage with his wife Elia, even she felt that her brother's behavior was not right.

Elia and her two children may not know until their death that they have been abandoned by their husband and father and have found other lovers.

As a woman, Daenerys felt a little sorry for Elia.

But none of this had anything to do with Jon, who was still a baby at the time, and Daenerys never imagined that there was a nephew living in this world.

Looking at Jon again, Daenerys understood the source of the inexplicable feeling of intimacy when she first met him.

However, when Daenerys saw Jon's black hair and black eyes, she was still a little uncomfortable. Jon did not inherit any of the physical features of the Targaryen family.

If Drogon had not been certain that Jon was his brother Rhaegar's son, Daenerys would even suspect that Bran and Jon were working together to deceive her.

Walking up to Jon, looking at him who was taller than her and one year older than her, Daenerys really wanted to hug him.

But Jon suddenly became her nephew from the commander of the Night's Watch, with whom she had once fought side by side, which made her feel a little at a loss as to where to start.

Seeing Daenerys observing him from the opposite side, Jon was even more embarrassed than her. After all, he was a generation younger than Daenerys, but older than her. If he was asked to call her aunt, he really couldn't say it.

[Hahaha!]

Looking at the awkward looks of the two, Drogon couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Daenerys, who was originally a little embarrassed, suddenly felt less awkward when she heard Drogon's gloating laughter. She walked forward and gently hugged Jon.

Feeling Daenerys' generous embrace, Jon was no longer as embarrassed as before and hugged Daenerys back.

Letting Jon go, Daenerys frowned slightly at his black clothes, thought for a moment and said, "I will order you to take off your black clothes tomorrow!"

The king has the right to restore the Night's Watch to their original status. Daenerys certainly cannot allow her nephew to continue wearing black and fulfilling the Night's Watch's oath not to marry or have children.

"This... let's talk about this later!" Jon was a little uncomfortable when he suddenly heard Daenerys wanting him to restore his original identity.

"And your true identity I..." Daenerys suddenly paused when she said this.

Hearing Daenerys stop talking after reaching the key point, Bran thought she had thought of the threat posed by Jon's identity, and turned to look at her, wanting to hear her decision.

Jon also recovered from the embarrassment just now. He was a little excited to hear that Daenerys was going to restore her identity, but he didn't expect that she didn't continue.

At this moment, Jon remembered the worry he had just had before coming here, and hurriedly said, "No need to recover, as long as I know it myself."

Daenerys, who was thinking, suddenly heard Jon's words. She looked up and saw Jon who was a little flustered and Bran who was thoughtful beside him. She instantly understood what they were thinking.

She didn't expect that her sudden interruption would lead to misunderstanding.

After Bran said Jon's last name was Targaryen, Daenerys already thought of the threat that Jon's identity posed to herself, but she didn't care too much.

He started fleeing when he was young, from Pentos to the Dothraki Sea, to Qarth and Slaver's Bay, until he returned to Westeros.

After going through so much, Daenerys doesn't think an identity can play much of a role. She doesn't believe that her ministers will betray her because of Jon's identity as the first heir. What's more, she has Drogon behind her, so she is not worried about the threat posed by Jon's identity.

The reason why she only said half of the words just now was because she suddenly thought of Dorne.

Oberyn has been accompanying her in battles with Dornish soldiers since she returned to Westeros.

His sister Elia and two children were also brutally killed because they were his brother Rhaegar's wife and son.

If Daenerys clears Jon's identity now, it means that Elia and her children will die without even basic status, and their deaths will be meaningless.

How will Doran and Oberyn cope with this? How will Daenerys face Oberyn who fought for her? How will she face Doran who knelt down at her coronation despite the pain? Dorne

may not rebel after Jon's name is cleared, and Daenerys is not afraid of their rebellion, but she really can't make this decision.

She didn't expect that her hesitation would cause misunderstandings between Bran and Jon. She smiled and said, "I'm considering how Dorne feels about this matter."

After Daenerys finished speaking, Bran and Jon thought of the problem she was worried about. They also knew about the tragic death of Elia and her children.

Thinking about how Dorne would react when the news got out that Rhaegar had privately dissolved his marriage to Elia, even they both felt a little sorry for it.

"I'd better maintain my current identity!" Jon said after thinking for a while.

Ignoring what Jon said, Daenerys was still thinking about a solution to this matter.

[First remove his Night's Watch identity, and then let him settle on Dragonstone. ]

Drogon has already thought of Jon's fate for Daenerys.

"Settling on Dragonstone?" Daenerys turned to look at Drogon, questioning herself.

Dragonstone is of great significance to the Targaryen family. In the Conqueror era, the Red Castle has been the residence of the heir to the throne since its construction. Does Drogon mean to make Jon the crown prince?

Did Drogon know that he couldn't have children? But if she didn't clear Jon's name, how could he become the crown prince?

Daenerys had many questions in her mind, but she couldn't ask Drogon. After thinking for a while, she could only say, "I will remove your status as a Night's Watchman when I return from the trading city."

The Seven Kingdoms had just been settled, and she was about to lead the army in person. Naturally, this was not the time to create unnecessary trouble. She planned to restore Jon's complete freedom when she returned to King's Landing.
