Chapter 30 The situation is out of control
King's Landing, Maegor's Holdfast, the Red Keep.
Helena Targaryen was sitting on the goose down bed telling a bedtime story.
Jaehaerys Targaryen and Jaehaera Targaryen, who had just turned four years old, snuggled up to their mother, one on each side.
As the twins gradually fell asleep, Helena nodded to the maids in the corner of the room.
They took the two children back to their room.
After the maids left, Helena was alone in the huge bedroom, humming a little tune and sewing a small dress.
She doesn't have the stunning beauty of other Targaryens, but she is cheerful by nature and a happy and cheerful girl.
If she had married another normal person, she would have lived a good life and been a good wife and mother.
But unfortunately, she married Aegon Targaryen.
Aegon, who had been extremely passionate about a certain sport since childhood, did not know why he always disliked his twin sister.
If it weren't for her mother Allison's constant urging, or her occasional drunkenness.
He would probably rather find the cheapest old prostitute in Silk Street than touch Helena.
As time passed, Helena, who was becoming more and more sleepy, yawned and prepared to pack up and go to bed.
It looks like Aegon won't be coming back today.
No one knew whether he was harming a maid or had sneaked out of the Red Castle again.
Boom, boom!
Two low muffled sounds came from outside the door.
Helena tilted her head to glance at the door and slowly walked forward.
Squeak!
"Aegon, is that you?"
Helena, thinking it was Aegon who had returned drunk, opened the door and saw two Red Keep guards lying on the ground.
She was about to scream loudly!
A pair of large hands reached out from the darkness, covered her mouth, and locked her hands.
Jakaris, who was wearing a hooded black robe, deliberately lowered his voice and said, “There is no hatred between us.
But...blood debt must be paid with blood!"
Zheng!
Damon, who had been standing silently in the shadows, did not say a word. He directly pulled out a dagger that was shining with cold light and approached Helena.
Woo, woo!
Looking at the man in black with a knife approaching her, Helena suddenly began to struggle violently, as if she wanted to say something.
puff!
Damon, who was ruthless to outsiders, did not hesitate at all and stabbed Helena in the abdomen with a knife.
His knife skills were very good, and the blow avoided vital organs and was not fatal.
"go!"
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Jacaerys let out a low growl and let go.
what! ! !
Helena's shrill screams immediately spread throughout Maegor's Holdfast.
However, before the other Red Castle guards arrived.
Under the guidance of Daemon, who was very familiar with the Red Castle, Jacaerys entered the secret passage and escaped.
He could have knocked Helena out or tied her up, which would have given him more time to escape.
But in this case, if no one finds Helena, she may die from excessive blood loss.
Jacaerys has always been clear about gratitude and resentment.
Alicent sent people to stop the assassin hired by her father, unwilling to harm Jacaerys' life.
This is his reward!
"Princess Helena!
Damn it, call Maester Orville!"
As soon as the guards of the Red Fort arrived at the scene, they immediately took emergency measures to stop the bleeding and sent someone to invite the Grand Secretary who also lived in the Red Fort.
"Oh! Child, child..."
Helena screamed in pain for several minutes and eventually fell into a coma due to rapid blood loss.
Then, Emond came over first.
Seeing his sister lying in a pool of blood, Aemond's right eye widened and he shouted angrily at the Red Keep guards around him: "How did you rubbish protect Helena!
What is going on here? "
"Reporting to Prince Aemond, two brothers on duty died.
We don’t know.”
"Trash, it's all trash!"
Just as Aemond was furious, the dishevelled Grand Maester Orwell arrived with a medicine box.
He had several maids carry Helena into the bedroom and began to treat her wounds.
blah blah blah!
Then, a pale-looking Allison arrived accompanied by Kriston Cole.
After hearing that Helena was stabbed in the abdomen, a thoughtful look appeared on her face and she kept muttering something.
After a while, Sir Otto also came to Maegor's Holdfast from the Hand's Tower.
Squeak!
Sir Otto was about to say something when the door opened and Grand Maester Orwell walked out with blood on his hands. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Excellency, Prince Aemond."
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me how Helena is doing!"
"Shut up, Aemond!
Grand Maester Orwell, please continue."
Orvel glanced at Aemond, who had a bad attitude.
He said to Allison, "Your Majesty, Princess Helena's knife wound is not fatal, I have stopped her bleeding.
As long as you don't get a fever afterwards, you will recover slowly.
but……
The baby in her belly can’t be saved!”
"Woo~~Merral!"
When Allison heard this, tears immediately flowed down her face.
Helena was just over two months pregnant, and the name Meral was chosen by Allison and her together.
But who could have imagined that this could happen in the safety of the Red Keep?
Aemond did not have a good relationship with Aegon, but was very close to Helena.
When she heard that her third child had been aborted, she immediately gnashed her teeth and yelled, "Why? Why did you assassinate Helena?"
"Perhaps it's because of Baelor Targaryen!"
Sir Otto, who had remained silent until then, replied calmly.
There was no significant emotion on his face, as if Meral was not his great-grandson.
"Grandpa, what's the connection between Helena and Bernilla?"
“I just received intelligence that Benilla was sent back to Dragonstone by Jacaerys today.
She was stabbed in the abdomen by Sir Rickard's followers in the Stepstones.
It was also a daughter, and she was also stabbed in the abdomen.
Perhaps some people believe that the assassination of Bernilla was Queen Alicent's idea.
This could be an act of revenge!"
Sir Otto's words were full of words like maybe and possibly.
But the certain tone of his voice seemed to have already determined who the murderer was.
"Jacaerys, Damon!!!"
A fierce light flashed in Aemond's one eye, and he turned and left.
"Aemond, where are you going?"
Aemond ignored his mother's calls and soon disappeared around the corner of the corridor.
"Sir Christon, send someone to sound the alarm, the whole city is under martial law!"
Allison opened her mouth to give an order, and then suddenly seemed to remember something.
After glancing around, he continued, "Also, please find Aegon and bring him here."
"As ordered!"
……
King's Landing, Fishermen's Square in the south of the city.
Jakaris and his companion, who had escaped from the secret passage of the Red Castle, were walking quickly towards the River Gate in the south.
The Riverside Gate is also known as the Mud Gate. It is the place where Tyrion used wildfire to defeat Stannis's army in the Game of Thrones.
This blood debt and blood repayment operation was a secret infiltration, so it was naturally impossible for the dragons of Jacaerys and his companion to fly to the dragon lair in King's Landing openly.
So it was hidden in the royal forest on the southern outskirts of King's Landing.
Jacaerys and his companions were now preparing to sneak out of the city, ride their dragons, and go to Sunspear City in Dorne to "visit" Prince Keoren.
Boom boom boom!
A melodious alarm bell rang out, and all the sleepy gold robes in King's Landing were suddenly startled.
This was a signal for a city-wide curfew, and it was obvious that something big was happening.
For ordinary people, city-wide martial law means that they cannot leave the city at will.
But it didn't matter to Jacaerys and the other two, because the captain of the gold cloaks stationed at the River Gate was once Daemon's subordinate.
The two of them discussed the retreat plan with each other this afternoon.
But sometimes you're just unlucky.
A team heard the alarm and temporarily changed their patrol route to go to the golden robes guarding Linhe Gate.
Just happened to run into Jakaris and his partner who were traveling quickly at night.
"Who is it! Stop!"
run!
With the skills of Jacaerys and Daemon and his familiarity with King's Landing, the distance between them and the gold cloak patrol was getting farther and farther.
But the noise here and the shouting of the golden robe patrol attracted someone's attention.
Hula, hula!
A dull whistling sound rang out in the sky, and a huge black shadow that blocked out the sky and covered the Fishermen's Square.
Aemond rode Vhagar and swooped down towards Jakaris and the other man...
