Game of Thrones: I became a crown prince for a day

The Starry Temple.

The building in Oldtown is second only to the towering tower, and it is the most magnificent temple of the Seven Gods in Westeros.

It has long existed as the base of the Seven Gods faith.

The door of the temple is open, and the high white stone steps are divided into several sections. A large number of believers come and go every day.

No matter nobles, knights, commoners, or beggars.

They can enter and exit the temple equally and accept the missionaries' preaching.

"Hiss--"

A roar like a bell sounded, and the glutton hovered over Oldtown and circled around the Starry Temple.

"Hiss!"

"Hiss..."

The sheep thief and Yangyan were separated on both sides, spreading their wings and gliding freely, like guarding the largest black dragon.

This scene fell on the eyes of the people of Oldtown, and they couldn't help but feel mixed.

The arrival of the dragon symbolizes the royal family of Targaryen.

The Iron Throne believes in the Seven Gods, and even the daughter of the centenarian king once joined the ranks of nuns.

But it was a war, and the dragons should all be on the battlefield in Dorne.

Three dragons broke into the old town without warning, first disturbing the residents of the city, and then surrounded the Starry Temple with a fierce look.

The believers were quite nervous and spontaneously went to the temple to find out the situation.

…

At this time,

the Starry Temple was on high alert, and hundreds of missionaries ran out of the gate and blocked the long steps.

"Hiss--"

Looking up at the sky, the black dragon roared fiercely, and a pair of dragon wings covered the sky.

The charcoal-black scales matched with a pair of green vertical pupils, gloomy and terrifying, just like the hell demon recorded in the "Seven Star Bible".

"Greedy, land!"

Rhaegar's expression was indifferent, and he drove the dragon slowly down, landing on the long steps of the temple.

As soon as the sharp dragon claws landed, they crushed a large piece of stone steps, like a heavy hammer smashing the spine.

The sheep thief and Yangyan circled twice and landed on the bluestone floor under the long steps.

The glutton was too big. One dragon occupied most of the long steps, and the dragon wings blocked all the roads.

The two dragons could only fall further away.

Gurgle gurgle...

The carriage engraved with the Hightower emblem came galloping. Mond and Otto endured the bumpy discomfort and helped the servants get off the car.

Mond had to come.

Otto came spontaneously, wanting to help his brother.

Rhaegar glanced at them, then looked back at the missionaries at the door of the sept, and said lightly: "I am Rhaegar of Targaryen, the eldest son of Viserys I, the legitimate heir to the Iron Throne, and I am the regent. Ask your high bishop to come!"

The missionaries looked at each other, revealing hostility in confusion.

Such a long introduction prefix, worthy of being a member of the royal family.

Rhaegar saw that he didn't speak, and his face was unpredictable: "The crown prince of a country is visiting, where is the high bishop."

He had shortened the prefix, but these missionaries still looked like they hadn't woken up.

Mond hurriedly climbed up the long steps, panting: "Prince, let me communicate."

There are more people who reject dragons than those who admire them in Westeros.

The Seven Gods Faith and the Targaryen family have been in conflict for more than a hundred years.

The situation improved during the reign of the Centenarian King, and Viserys adhered to the strategy of cooperation and mutual benefit during his reign.

But, riding a dragon directly around the Starry Sept, even the Centenarian King has never been so rude.

Rhaegar waved his hand, keenly sensing the rejection of the Seven Gods Church, and casually said: "I only have one request, to see the High Septon."

This trip is to settle the bad account, and there is no intention to settle it.

Suppressing the Seven Gods Faith and seeking the privilege of marrying more is the real purpose.

The king does not need to marry more, the royal family does not need to marry more, at least he should have the right to marry more.

After the first time, the Seven Gods Church weakened its authority, and the royal power was above the divine power.

Mond nodded like pounding garlic and hurriedly communicated with the missionary.

These missionaries looked very nervous, holding tables, chairs and benches, ready to sacrifice themselves for the Seven Gods at any time.

Rhaegar glanced at the interior of the temple, where hundreds of nuns knelt in a row and prayed to the statues of the Seven Gods.

A larger number of monks and silent sisters stood in the corner, spying on the black dragon outside the temple.

"The number is not small, comparable to the number of private soldiers raised by a great noble in the River Reach."

Rhaegar looked secretly and couldn't help but think of the Warrior's Son and the Poor People's Assembly that had been disbanded long ago.

That was a grassroots armed force that could drag down an entire kingdom if it rebelled.

The cruel Maegor controlled the Black Death - Balerion, but he didn't completely crush the Seven Gods' faith.

After a while, Mond finished communicating.

He approached the Glutton, hesitating and not knowing how to start.

Seeing him hesitating, Rhaegar was alert and said unforgivingly: "Why, did the High Bishop die unexpectedly?"

"No!" Mond hurriedly shook his head and said with a frown: "The High Bishop learned of the arrival of the Crown Prince and entered the secret room a quarter of an hour ago for seclusion. No one is allowed to disturb him."

"Seclusion?"

Rhaegar was stunned and couldn't help laughing: "The High Bishop regards me as the Conqueror."

In the early days of the Targaryen Dynasty, the Conqueror unified the six kingdoms except Dorne and planned to land in Oldtown.

The then High Bishop locked himself in the inner hall of the Starry Sepulchre for seven days and seven nights, during which time he only ate some bread and clean water and listened to the guidance of the Seven Gods.

Seven days later, the High Bishop, who almost died on his knees, came out trembling.

When the Conqueror rode Balerion to Oldtown, Earl Hightower opened the gate of Oldtown and the people lined the streets to welcome him.

It turned out that it was because of the High Bishop, who said a lot of what he had learned in seclusion.

To sum it up:

Oldtown can't stop the dragon, kneel down to live, stand to die.

The Faith of the Seven and House Hightower came together to choose to soften the knee.

Munde said: "Prince, the faith of the Seven Gods is all over Westeros, you might as well wait a moment."

"Do you know why I came?" Rhaegar asked bluntly.

Munde was speechless for a moment.

Everyone in the kingdom knows that the crown prince is more resistant to the faith of the Seven Gods than the young king Viserys.

He also has an affair with Lady Jeyne of the Vale.

Just when Dorne was conquered, the crown prince came with the trend of unifying the Westeros continent.

It is inevitable to suppress the faith of the Seven Gods and seek unspeakable interests.

Rhaegar smiled slightly, and seeing him like this, he knew that his mind was clear.

That's right.

Facing the armed uprising of the Church of the Seven Gods, Queen Visenya once said to her nephew Aenys I.

"My nephew, you are an idiot and a coward. Who dares to offend your father like this?"

"You have a dragon under your crotch. You should ride it to Oldtown and turn the Starry Sept into the second Harrenhal."

"If you don't have the courage, let me grill that hypocritical clown for you."

Coincidentally, Rhaegar also has a dragon under his crotch, and he has the courage to burn everything.

There is only one thing in this trip to Oldtown.

I come! I want it!

No matter the Hightower family, the Faith of the Seven Gods, or the Citadel, they have no right to refuse.

This time, not only Mond was speechless, but even Otto, who came, was speechless.

Most of the Targaryen kings are strong and domineering.

The weak personalities of Aenys I and Viserys are a minority after all.

Rhaegar patted the dragon's back, and the Glutton slowly crawled forward, saying calmly: "The archbishop has been in seclusion for seven days and seven nights, and I will give this archbishop seven days and nights."

"During this period, I will stay in the Starry Cathedral and wait for good news."

The Glutton crawled to the entrance of the cathedral, with his towering back level with the dome of the cathedral, and crawled down to let the driver get off.

Facing the hostile eyes of a group of missionaries, Rhaegar ignored them and got off the dragon's back.

He turned around and waved to Aegon and Aemond, and walked towards the cathedral hall.

The missionaries' hearts tightened and tried to block the door with a human wall.

"Hiss--"

The Glutton's green eyes were sharp, and he roared angrily at the Starry Cathedral. The hot air overturned all obstacles, penetrated the clothes and burned the skin.

In an instant, screams came one after another.

Rhaegar was calm and composed, with his long silver-gold hair fluttering in the wind, and walked into the cathedral with his hands behind his back.

From beginning to end, he was too lazy to look at the missionaries.

They were like a group of tiny reptiles, which flew around randomly and fell to the ground.

The moment his right foot stepped into the threshold of the temple, Rhaegar paused.

Mond and Otto were startled, thinking that this ancestor would cause more trouble.

Rhaegar turned his head and said, "The task of clearing out the Dornish invaders is left to Aegon and Aemond. After I meet with the High Septon, I hope to meet the representative of the Citadel Council immediately."

The Council is the highest institution in the Citadel composed of doctors, who have the right to appoint and dismiss the Grand Maester.

Then he entered the temple and chose a corner to sit on the ground.

Only a black dragon was left, lying at the door of the temple, staring at it with its pale green vertical pupils.

Mond and Heitar clenched their palms and suddenly found that their palms had already sweated.

In a short time of contact, they have seen many potential problems.

Especially Otto, his eyes were full of surprise, and his hands and feet were numb.

Seeing the back of the crown prince entering the temple, he thought the centenarian king had come back to life.

He clearly understood that it was the other party expressing his attitude.

Satisfy his request and everything will be safe.

They can choose to refuse, but the dragon flame cannot escape.

"Roar..."

The glutton roared with a long breath, and his vertical pupils gradually closed, like a guardian god.

"Let's go."

Otto came back to his senses, his face was grim: "Go back and discuss it carefully, and overturn all previous plans."

Mond nodded hurriedly, and the two brothers climbed back to the carriage in dejection.

...

At night.

The towering tower, the lord's bedroom.

Mond took a milk bath and sat dejectedly on the bed.

The Faith of the Seven Gods and the Old Town are allies of the Hightower family. He used to be proud of them, highlighting the prosperity and knowledge of the Old Town.

Now, both are big troubles.

Creak——

The door opened, and Otto, who changed into a green uniform, walked in.

Mond glanced sideways and drooped his head again.

"Aegon and his men will ride their dragons to hunt down Dorne invaders tomorrow."

Otto maintained his composure and opened the topic.

Mund was unhappy.

Otto saw this and said solemnly, "My two grandsons have grown up and have their own ideas."

"I knew it."

Mund was sick.

After the dinner, he asked Otto to try to win over his two nephews and grandsons.

Obviously, he failed.

"Brother, don't be so easily discouraged."

Otto walked up and sat next to Mond, and said thoughtfully, "The crown prince's suppression of the Church of the Seven Gods and the Citadel will not affect the family for the time being."

The knife was not aimed at him. The Hightower family was honest and the other party could not find any handle.

Mund frowned and heard the hidden meaning: "For the time being?"

Otto sighed softly, "The crown prince tried his best to suppress the power of Oldtown. If His Majesty has an accident, it will inevitably embarrass the Hightower family after he ascends the throne."

"His Majesty is just unconscious."

Mund knew the inside story and was not so worried.

"Viserys has always been in poor health, and being unconscious for a long time does not bode well for anyone," Otto replied.

Mund thought carefully, this is the truth, hesitantly said: "Do you have a way to avoid the crown prince's trouble?"

Otto asked a question that was not relevant: "What will you do if pirates intercept your trade route?"

"We can still do it, we will clean it up..."

Mund paused, unbelievable.

"No."

Fortunately, Otto denied it in time and guided: "What should we do when facing an enemy that is several times stronger?"

Mund thought about it and hesitated: "Strengthen allies and suppress the prestige of pirates in order to fight against each other."

When the pirates of the Three Women's Kingdoms were rampant, he joined forces with the fleets of Lannister and Qingting Island to do this.

"That's right."

Otto smiled: "The crown prince won the battle and was in the limelight. We should avoid the edge for the time being and consolidate the power in our hands."

"Alison is weak and her children are unlikely to play a role."

Mund has no hope for this.

Otto shook his head and said affirmatively: "We were wrong before, wanting to let the Targaryen bloodline fight internally."

"What we should really do is to strengthen the children's recognition of Hightower, closely surround their mother, and embrace the queen or the queen mother."

As long as the children are not distracted from their mother, they will always protect their mother from harm.

Mund was shocked and exclaimed: "Yes, there is no child in the world who doesn't love his mother."

Otto stood up and patted his shoulder, saying: "Don't think too much, let the crown prince take what he wants, the real battlefield has always been in King's Landing."

Mund drew inferences from one example: "The crown prince wants to compete for power with the Seven Gods Faith, we can use this to weaken his prestige."

"Haha, maybe."

Otto's eyes were deep, and he left the bedroom with his back to his brother.

...

Starry Temple.

The moon was high and the stars were shining.

Rhaegar sat in the hall of the temple, with a milky white glass-like giant sword in front of him.
