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

Climax City.

Under the guidance of the guards, we walked into the front courtyard of the castle. Several thick old trees took root and the yard was covered with withered yellow leaves.

At first glance, it looks quite cold and lonely.

Rhaegar looked out over the castle, searching for familiar figures.

The door opened quietly, and several silver-haired figures ran out happily.

Darren ran ahead happily, opened his arms and hugged: "Brother, you are finally here."

"His Majesty!……"

Benila and Renya were slightly behind, bowing and saluting with smiles on their faces.

Rhaegar patted his younger brother on the back, only to hear a dull thud, and said with satisfaction: "Not bad, the body is much stronger."

"I train regularly with Master Sea Serpent."

Darren had a clear voice and a royal dignity in his manner.

"You still have to practice, don't be proud."

With a smile in his eyes, Rhaegar looked carefully at the young brother he was teaching.

Darren is now 12 years old and already a young boy.

He has been studying hard since he was a child, and he is well-read.

Rhaegar was afraid that this boy would follow in the footsteps of Weigen the Dragonless, so at the request of the sea snake, he was sent to Chaotou Island to serve as a cupbearer at the beginning of the year.

Sea Snake is indeed a veteran who has traveled all over the world, and he has trained Darren well.

Aegon and Aemond leaned over, mostly asking each other how they were doing.

Rhaenyra also adopted a pair of adopted daughters to bond with them.

"Is this the little sister mentioned in the letter?"

Benila looked at the swaddle curiously and stretched out a finger to poke the little guy's face.

"Woo~"

Visenya was sleeping soundly and tilted her head to avoid it.

"Let me hug you, okay?"

Renya's heart almost melted when she saw it, and she couldn't wait to hug him.

Seeing her two considerate adopted daughters, Rhaenyra was very satisfied and warned carefully: "Gently, don't wake her up."

A daughter is not like three sons.

Including Mekar, her three sons were flying with her in their infancy, riding a dragon, and they were all giggling with joy.

Only her daughter, Longbei is more like another cradle, sleeping soundly.

After the greetings, Dai Lun led the way on behalf of the guards and said quickly: "Auntie is waiting for us, please come in quickly."

…

Nine-walled hall.

It was already an hour later when the royal family appeared here.

After riding the dragon, you must change into a set of clean and odorless clothes.

Once inside.

The sea snake was shirtless, lying sideways on the armrest of the driftwood throne, and allowed the maester to remove the gauze.

Lei Jia took a closer look and saw that the gauze was covered with blood, and the surface was sticky with pus.

Hearing someone entering the hall, the sea snake raised its face as black as the bottom of a pot, its thick lips bloodless.

"His Majesty!"

Seeing the identity of the visitor, the sea snake waved the bachelor to step back and planned to stand up and salute.

"Collis."

Rhaenys stepped out, trying to stop her husband's rash move.

"I'm not that fragile yet."

The sea snake's voice was dry and he forced himself to walk off the driftwood throne.

Rega looked sideways, showing no intention of stopping him.

"Your arrival has brought glory to Climax City, Your Majesty."

The sea snake lowered its head and slowly knelt down on one knee.

Looking down from a high position, Rhaegar could see the opponent's injuries clearly.

There was a stab wound on the back that opened the flesh, from the left shoulder to the right lower abdomen, and the ribs were faintly exposed.

In addition, there are mostly minor scars on the body surface.

Rega's heart suddenly struck, and he bent down to help him up, and asked with concern: "You are not patrolling the disputed area, how come you are so seriously injured?"

The sea snake's eyes were dark and watery, and he said angrily: "It's a group of pirates from Volantis, working with the slave fleet in Slaver's Bay."

The opponent throws out the bait, and the sea snake, who is careless and underestimates the enemy, takes the bait.

Encountered a vicious ambush.

"Is Slaver's Bay involved?"

Rhaegar heard this, winked at Aemond, and said seriously: "It must be the remnants of the Three Women's Kingdom, and they have other ideas together with Volantis."

Aemond held the hilt of his sword with one hand and his expression was cold: "The waterway in the disputed land is taking shape. Ships in Volantis and Slaver's Bay have to pay tolls. A resource war is inevitable."

"It's better to fight less."

Aegon stood on tiptoes and analyzed rationally: "We still owe the loan to the Iron Bank. Once the war starts, the economy will go back ten years."

Having been in charge of the Stone Step Islands for many years, I have developed a good abacus.

I have a strong idea of ​​how much money I can make.

Emond dismissed it: "Sooner or later, a bunch of clowns."

"Listen to Lord Corliss's suggestion first. He is the one who faces the enemy directly."

Rhaegar raised his hand to stop the brothers from bickering.

The sea snake was very weak and said rationally: "I agree with Prince Aemond. They need a lesson."

Aemond puffed up his chest and exuded confidence: "Give me a fleet, and the sheep thief and I can burn the enemy to pieces."

We have been together for many years and have a tacit understanding of one person and one dragon.

The combat power is close to that of Rhaegar, Damon and other first-line dragon masters.

Rega didn't even raise his head. He still remembered the purpose of coming here and said perfunctorily: "There will be a chance, don't be impatient."

He has long been thinking about the wild young dragons in the misty sea, but he hasn't tolerated it until now.

After becoming the king, he understood better the meaning that war cannot be started easily.

The treasury is empty!

What's more, the Free Trade Cities such as Braavos and Pentos are all eyeing Targaryen, lest another Free Fortress Empire reappear.

Targaryen expanded its base too much and was stuck in the disputed area of ​​shipping between the east and west continents of Essos.

If you start a war rashly, you will suffer too many unknown attacks.

There are many dragons, so we need to consider defending the city-state.

The foundation built with many years of hard work cannot be allowed to be destroyed by enemy sneak attacks.

If you want to fight, you have to find a suitable opportunity.

Rhaegar now is ruthless and steady.

After half-heartedly, Rhaegar took the initiative to help the sea snake back to the Driftwood Throne as a small show of kindness.

The sea snake's movements were stiff, and the corners of its mouth twitched in pain.

The bachelor didn't dare to hesitate and quickly applied medicine and bandage.

Rhaegar asked: "Lord Corliss, do you know my purpose of coming?"

Sea Snake's bared teeth froze, and he said with a black face: "There are a few madmen in the family, I will negotiate with them first."

Rhaenys rolled her eyes and pulled away the fig leaf: "Your nephews are secretly trying to win people's hearts while you are not at home."

"I will discuss it in detail."

The sea snake was helpless and gave his wife an unsatisfactory answer.

Rhaenys sneered and shook her head.

Seeing this, Rhaegar knew that there would be a small meeting within Velaryon and said goodbye: "Please pay attention to rest, let's go to the island for a walk."

Such is the case with aristocratic families.

As the leader of the clan, Sea Snake will first negotiate with the clan members to discuss a suitable solution.

After all, the family needs these nephews who are direct blood relatives.

Rhaegar knew this and did not break the situation immediately.

It was his turn to take action when the sea snake and his nephews broke up.

His visit to Chaotou Island this time mainly served as a deterrent.

The sea snake is still applying the medicine, so it is inconvenient to stay longer: "Excuse me, Your Majesty, for your hard work and let Prince Daeron show you the features of Hull Town and Spice Town."

Rhaegar nodded politely to Rhaenys again.

Rhaenys stopped him and showed her concern among relatives: "I heard that Rhaenyra has given birth. There is still one dragon egg that Melias laid last time. Do you want to put it in the newborn's cradle?"

Rhaegar declined: "No need to bother, Baelon and Aemon will choose a green dragon egg from a nest of eggs in Syrax."

The two female dragons have both laid dragon eggs this year.

Melias has a lazy personality and laid a clutch of dragon eggs before Maekar was born.

There were two dragon eggs in total, both of which were the dark red color of the genetic mother.

Rhaenys personally assigned to King's Landing to hand over to the royal family.

In order to thank his aunt, Rhaegar also took the opportunity to share his joy of having a son.

One was placed in Meka's cradle, and the other was left for storage by her aunt.

Not of House Velaryon, of course.

Syracuse is even more powerful.

Two clutches of eggs were laid in six years.

The first clutch contained two dragon eggs, and the second clutch just recently had a total of three dragon eggs.

Rhaenys did not force anything after hearing this, she shook her head and smiled: "Visenya paired with a green dragon egg is really a blessing from fate."

Rhaegar laughed: "It all depends on the wishes of the children, and the hatching of the dragon eggs also depends on the probability."

"Belron's dragon egg hasn't hatched yet?"

Rhaenys suddenly thought and asked incredulously.

Aemon's dragon eggs hatched the same day they were born, and now the young dragons are almost reaching sub-adult age.

Belron's dragon egg didn't respond for a long time.

"It doesn't matter, he has his own ideas, I asked him."

Rhaegar was confident and mentioned Mekar instead: "Mekar's dragon eggs will probably be difficult to hatch. I'm wondering how many years older he will be to try to tame a young dragon."

Strange to say.

He had six children, and apart from the lack of dragon eggs and the newly born Visenya, only one of the three sons hatched a dragon egg.

It was a waste of the pure dragon blood inherited from him.

If it weren't for the fact that several of the children had silver hair and purple eyes, it would be hard not to suspect that there was some kind of invisible inheritance between dragonborn and ordinary people.

"It's a good idea. Even the young dragon in the dragon's lair is jealous of me."

Rhaenys agreed.

Blizzard and Thrax hatched first, as well as the violent black young dragon.

Just looking at his appearance, he looks mighty and domineering.

After a few small talk, Rhaegar formally bid farewell.

Rhaenys was very enthusiastic and sent her nieces and nephews out of the Nine Walls Hall.

Over the years, the relationship between the Targaryens and the Velaryons was restored.

Part of the reason.

It was Rhaegar who followed the advice and named his second son Aemon, deeply touching his aunt who had just experienced the pain of losing her son.

…

After Rhaegar and his party left.

Rhaenys walked back to her husband and sighed softly: "Why didn't you ask Daemon and Lannal to accompany you? You almost couldn't come back."

"Damon?"

Speaking of his son-in-law and former ally, Sea Snake sneered: "He indulges in women all day long, and I'm afraid he will die on a woman's belly."

After all, he is a second son, and he forgets everything once he gets the power.

Even if the other party is a prince, he will become a knight-errant prince.

Rhaenys was silent, staring into her husband's eyes.

The sea snake was upset by being stared at, and said in a low voice: "Lannaer is guarding Reese, and her life is not easy."

Finally, Rhaenys's expression changed, and she laughed at herself: "That's right. Rhaenia's inheritance qualifications have been questioned. For such a big matter, the adoptive parents came forward, but the biological parents were not present."

This time, it was the sea snake's turn to comfort his wife and said against her will: "Lanna'er is still young and can always solve difficulties."

"maybe."

Rhaenys had given up her hopes.

…

The former site of Climax City.

An ancient castle that has been abandoned for decades is located in the southeast of Chaotou Island.

Built against the cliff and coast, the building is made of solid stone mixed with stucco materials.

This is the original family keep of House Velaryon.

After the Sea Snake made several voyages and brought back countless jewels and wealth, the site was chosen to build the current Climax City.

The old castle was abandoned due to humidity, haze, and drafts from all sides.

After the marriage with Rhaenys, the old site was transformed into a temporary dragon cave.

At this time,

Benilla, wearing a black dragon riding suit, led the way to the temporary dragon cave.

Baelon and Aemon followed closely behind.

The gentle Rhaenyar walked behind, holding the youngest Maekar.

"Hiss!"

A hissing sounded, deliberately scaring a group of little guys.

Baelon cast a look.

Then he saw a gorgeous dragon with cobalt blue scales slowly crawling out of the stone cave on the sea side of the temporary dragon cave.
