Chapter 125: Aegon’s Rebellion

Chapter 125: Aegon’s Rebellion

Aegon was an arrogant character, and Sunfyre was also a proud dragon. Together they demonstrated the similarities between dragon and rider.

When mercilessly mocked by his brother, Aemond couldn't hide his anger. "No, you're wrong! What are you talking about?" he retorted, his pale face betraying his fear. Despite his terror, he held on to his pride and couldn't stand the humiliation.

Aegon rode Sunfyre closer, looking down at Aemond. "Idiot, that dragon doesn’t even like you," he sneered. Taming a dragon wasn't easy; it had taken him years to bond with Sunfyre.

Aemond stood up, glaring at his brother. "You're lying! Tessarion is just not used to people yet. He’ll accept me," he shouted. Despite the near injury, he still held hope.

Aegon tossed his long silver-gold hair back and replied proudly, "Save your breath. Taming a dragon doesn’t happen overnight."

"No! I am also have dragon blood. I can definitely succeed!" Aemond insisted, summoning the courage to approach Tessarion again. He extended his hand, saying, "Tessarion, you will recognize me, right?"

"Roar..." Tessarion growled, his eyes filled with rage.

"Come on, I can be your master," Aemond said, stepping back anxiously. He had always dreamed of taming a dragon. His elder siblings, Rhaegar and Rhaenyra, had successfully tamed dragons at his age. How could he fail?

"Don’t bother. This dragon isn’t meant for you. Go back and hatch some eggs," Aegon mocked, stroking Sunfyre’s scales.

"Aegon, Aemond is your brother. Watch your words!" Rhaegar intervened, unable to stand by any longer. Family bonds should not be mocked so cruelly.

Aegon, undeterred, retorted, "He’s my brother. I can say whatever I want. It’s none of your business!" He remembered his mother's teachings: an older brother should discipline his younger siblings. But he conveniently forgot the part about protecting them as well.

"Aegon, who do you think you’re talking to?" Rhaegar's eyes narrowed as he approached, holding Helaena. Seeing Rhaegar angry, Aegon felt a chill down his spine.

Sunfyre growled lowly, sensing his master’s unease. Aegon reached out to touch Sunfyre’s spine, drawing courage from the dragon’s warmth. Memories of Rhaegar’s oppression, his father Viserys’s disdain, and his mother’s lessons fueled his rebellion.

Fighting the urge to roll off Sunfyre's back, Aegon's eyes darted to Tessarion, who was fidgeting nearby. His eyes lit up with an idea. "It's this dragon that scares Aemond. Why are you taking offense at me? Go find it."

"I told you to get off, Aegon!" Rhaegar's voice grew icier, focused solely on Aegon. Today, Rhaegar was determined to teach him a lesson about respect and hierarchy.

Aegon shivered at Rhaegar's yell and looked toward the disoriented Aemond. "Aemond, don't you want to tame the dragon? I'll help you subdue it!"

He then ordered Sunfyre, "Hold down that young dragon."

"Roar..." Sunfyre, having just restrained his temper, received his master's command. His eyes fixed on Tessarion, a hint of cruelty glinting within them. Misunderstanding the command, Sunfyre’s instincts were to incapacitate it.

Sunfyre lunged toward Tessarion, golden flames bursting from his mouth. Tessarion, unable to defend himself, was engulfed in the fire, his body scorched.

"No! Tessarion, are you alright?" Aemond cried, rushing to his beloved dragon.

"Idiot! Unauthorized attacks are forbidden in the Dragonpit!" Rhaegar didn't expect Aegon to target Tessarion.

Sunfyre's attack triggered a chain reaction. The injured Tessarion roared in pain, and Dreamfyre, startled by the commotion, flapped her wings and roared in response, causing a cacophony of dragon cries.

"Find a place to hide," Rhaegar ordered, putting down Helaena and grabbing a strong bow from the Dragonkeepers. He aimed an arrow directly at Aegon. "Don't make me say it a third time, Aegon!"

"Don't! I'll come down, I'll come down," Aegon stammered, unlocking the chain around his waist and hurriedly dismounting Sunfyre. He realized he was in deep trouble.

"Roar..." Sunfyre, now free, twisted and turned, scanning the other dragons with irritation. The presence of Dreamfyre and Tessarion agitated him, driving his bloodlust.

As soon as Aegon was on the ground, Sunfyre lunged at Dreamfyre, initiating a new wave of chaos among the dragons.
