Lynn's words had barely fallen when a round, solid figure emerged.
Varys.
The infamous Eight-Legged Spider of King's Landing. But the gentle, all-encompassing smile that usually masked every secret had vanished.
In its place was an expression tangled with shock, confusion, and feverish intensity.
He had heard it all.
Every single word.
From Jaqen H'ghar's plan to Lynn's vision, one so radical it threatened to upend all Westeros's beliefs.
Not a single detail escaped.
Lynn's words had not only been spoken to Jaqen. They were meant for the eavesdropping Varys as well.
Varys turned those words over in his mind again and again.
His entire life had been spent searching for an "enlightened ruler" for this rotting kingdom.
He had hoped it would be Rhaegar Targaryen. But Rhaegar had died at the Trident.
Then he had pinned his hopes on Robert Baratheon, the usurper. But Robert was a drunken fool who cared only for wine, women, and ignoring the realm's needs.
As for Robert's son Joffrey? The idea of him as an enlightened king was a joke across Westeros.
He had also turned to the surviving bloodlines of Rhaegar.
Whether it was the "Beggar King" Viserys in distant Pentos, Daenerys, or the hidden "Aegon."
But all of them were simply carriers of an old, decayed order.
They dreamed only of reclaiming the Iron Throne, rebuilding a dynasty already rotten at its core.
They never once considered bringing true change to the common people who lived under their rule.
But Lynn, standing before him now...
The "Great Harmony World" he described.
A world where the elderly reach their natural end, the strong have purpose, children thrive, lost belongings are left untouched, and doors stay unlocked at night.
No exploitation. No oppression. No wars. No inequality.
Everyone living and working in peace. The old cared for. The young nurtured. The sick and disabled supported.
Meritocracy, trust, and harmony guiding society, with no autocratic monarch ruling.
A society that transcends selfishness. Promotes universal love and mutual aid. Where all live in balanced coexistence.
That was no mere kingdom.
That was... a divine kingdom.
A utopia that exists only in the wildest dreams. An ideal never promised even by the Faith of the Seven.
Every word, every sentence—spoken not for rulers, but for the people.
What an extraordinary vision.
Varys looked at Lynn.
This young man had dragons, and power enough to topple armies.
He had cunning, able to see through hearts and twist the game of thrones.
And now, he wielded a faith unlike any before. Perhaps one that no one else ever would.
A faith fierce enough to drive every soul mad with devotion.
What was he still hesitating for?
What was he still waiting for?
The so-called "Prince That Was Promised"?
That Aegon, lost and unknown?
No.
Those were all illusions.
But Lynn here—he was real.
Varys drew a slow, deep breath.
The hem of his costly silk robe, for the first time in his life,no, for the first time ever, touched the dusty ground beneath him.
He dropped to one knee.
The motion was fluid, devout.
He was no longer the shadowy spider controlling from the dark.
He was now a disciple who'd finally found his lifelong cause.
"My lord."
"I have served the realm all my days, believing I served its struggling people."
"But only now do I see—I was serving kings who sit on the Iron Throne, one after another."
"I was just turning the gears of a rotten millstone. Grinding the flesh and blood of the
