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

Cutting it off one by one, the inscription marks became clearer and clearer.

Fire magic is injected into it, connecting the inscriptions one by one like a thin thread.

Rhaegar's expression was tense, and a drop of sweat broke out on his forehead.

Just a few seconds later.

Rhaegar concentrated on making the last cut to complete the set of inscriptions.

puff--

Suddenly, the fire magic became chaotic for a moment, and a cloud of fireworks exploded.

The stone shattered instantly and turned into a puddle of powder.

"Phew! Still not working."

Lei Jia's face stiffened slightly, and he let out a long breath.

I have been imitating space inscriptions for several years, and although I am able to carve out the charm of the inscriptions, I have never been able to complete the activation.

Lei Jia murmured to himself: "Without the inheritance of knowledge, the great deeds of the Dragon King will be difficult to repeat."

If it really doesn't work, why not find a master blacksmith and practice more skills.

Just as he was thinking about it, a pair of white and tender lotus-root arms wrapped around his neck from behind, pressing softly on his back.

Feeling the skin-like touch, Rega grabbed the mischievous little hand on his chest.

You don't have to look back to know who it is.

"It failed again."

Helena's voice was hoarse, and her chin rested on Rhaegar's shoulder, rubbing it gently and affectionately.

"Yeah, I'm used to it."

Rhaegar clasped his two small hands and leaned his head back.

With the reflection of the glazed window in front of him, the scene in the bedroom is clear.

Helena's long hair was loose and she was wearing a suspender nightgown.

Her slender body was lying on top of him, her hair hanging down from her temples, and her eyes slightly tired.

Yawning gently, his appearance was lazy and peaceful.

Rhaegar admired the beauty to wash away his depression.

Gluttony and Dreamfire are good at long-distance flying, and the brother and sister arrived in Myr after midnight.

Get rid of the various constraints of King's Landing, and can't help but pursue happiness together.

Lei Jiajing stayed up all night and got up early to write a letter.

Helena didn't go to bed until dawn, less than two hours.

Rhaegar closed his eyes slightly, recalling the warmth of last night.

A quiet little beauty can always soothe the mood of an impatient person.

Give him time to replenish his energy.

"Is the material bad?"

Helena tilted her head, wanting to share her brother's worries: "Would it be better to replace it with Valyrian steel?"

Rega chuckled and said, "It's not a matter of material."

"But your carving skills have surpassed the top craftsmen in Westeros."

Helena frowned slightly and picked up a handful of gravel: "The space bracelets and necklaces are made of Valyrian steel."

As he spoke, his eyes passed over a bamboo basket under the desk.

The inside of the bamboo basket is filled with similar gravel.

This is not the first failure, nor is it the closest failure to success.

Rhaegar heard this and patiently told: "Valyrian steel is difficult to find, and the problem lies in the control of fire magic."

A set of mature inscriptions is like a unique pearl.

Compare the magic of fire to a thread that connects all the pearls together.

Rhaegar has been stuck at this step for half a year.

After many summaries, the reason lies in the restlessness and instability of fire magic power.

Even if it is twisted into a silk thread, it cannot be insisted on connecting each inscription in series.

Helena's eyes were puzzled, and she noticed the sweat on her brother's forehead, and suddenly said: "Lack of mental strength?"

"right!"

Lei Jia nodded gently, showing an expression of relief that a child can be taught.

Helena's expression dimmed and she whispered softly: "It might as well be a matter of materials. Maybe I can find a piece of Valyrian steel for you."

Mental power is a rare word.

On the continent of Westeros, knights work hard and exercise.

In the records of the Dragon King family, there are blood wizards and fire warlocks.

Especially after Rhaegar succeeded to the throne and uniformly taught the "Binding Curse".

Members of the royal family have basically learned to mobilize the fire magic in their blood.

But the only manifestation of mental power is the mentally weak father Viserys.

Viserys had been in poor mental health for years.

When it's good, I'm just a little weak, but when it's bad, I can't wake up for several days.

Now that her brother mentioned spiritual power, Helena was powerless even if she wanted to help.

Rhaegar saw her distress, bumped her head gently, and said funnyly: "Don't think too much, you will succeed sooner or later."

Helena pursed her lips and silently stared at the stone carvings on the round table.

The Sea of ​​Smoke, the Land of Long Summer, the Giant Dragon...

She knew that her brother was always thinking about returning to the clan and looking for the relics in the dream.

The brother and sister remained quiet, leaning on each other.

quite a while.

Helena noticed a few letters and suddenly mentioned: "Emond."

"What's wrong?" Rhaegar asked curiously.

"Nothing, just some opinions."

Helena tilted her head, not hiding anything: "Emond's mood has been fluctuating a lot recently, and I'm a little worried about Cassandra."

Emond has grown up, and the engagement has not yet been fulfilled.

Occasionally she heard some rumors, which made her very worried about her brother.

Rhaegar frowned, it was indeed a question worth pondering.

Aemond's sexual proclivities are inseparable from Aegon and Alison.

One of them went out of his way to do something bad and chose an old madam to eat meat for Aemond.

A middle-ranked son was often neglected, causing Aemond to prefer to spend time with the older woman.

Helena knew the truth and her voice was low: "He is very anxious. If he continues like this, he will drag himself down."

Rhaegar thought for a while and said seriously: "Don't worry, I will go to Storm's End when I have time and have a good chat with both parties."

If Emond really dares to get sick, he will be "reasonable" and persuade him.

Hearing this, Helena nodded dullly and got down to business: "Do you want me to ride the Dream Fire back to Summer Hall?"

Rhaegar was stunned for a moment and said in deep thought: "No need for the time being. Old Town cannot send out troops. It will be enough for the raven to send a message to the Redwyne family."

Helena said "Oh" and continued to rub each other's cheeks.

After the conquest of Dorne, the garrison strength continued to increase.

The three siblings Aegon, Helena, and Aemond are the backbone of the border defense.

Summerhall was built in the Dorne Marches to mobilize the nobles of the Reach.

Stonehelm governs the Dorne Sea and oversees the Stormlands and all of Dorne.

The Stone Step Islands block the lower half of the Narrow Sea, cutting off the connection between the Narrow Sea and the Summer Sea.

As a result, half of Westeros is under the control of the Iron Throne.

The die-hards in Dorne were unable to break through the sea route and were waiting to die like frogs boiling in warm water.

Over time, the influence of the royal family replaced the aristocracy and continued to strengthen the power of the Iron Throne.

…

Chaotou Island.

The sea snake stood alone in the vestibule, holding his cane.

His thick back was slightly stooped, and with the dead leaves on the ground under his feet, his back looked a little sad.

He raised his head and looked.

Three headless corpses were hung from the tower of the castle, swaying gently in the salty sea breeze.

He lowered his head and moved his gaze downward.

Two bloody skeletons were nailed to the two gallows.

The sea snake's eyes were complicated, filled with hatred, anger, and a touch of deep worry.

Since His Majesty ascended the throne, his methods have become increasingly cruel.

Especially in recent years, his behavior has been vaguely aimed at the great nobles of various realms.

Although it's not the Velaryon family's turn yet, they have to guard against it.

This severe punishment is probably a warning to him.

"well!"

Thinking about what to do with the heir, the sea snake sighed deeply and began to be unable to distinguish right from wrong.

Being loyal to such an inconsiderate Majesty had caused him uneasiness.

"What are you thinking about?"

Rhaenys came from behind.

The sea snake didn't even look back and said angrily: "I was wondering if it was a good idea to encourage Rhaegar to replace Rhaenyra."

The new king came to power, and the Targaryens became more and more prosperous.

Not only was it more powerful than the time of Viserys I, but it was even better than the time of the Conqueror and even the Free Fortress.

After all, when the exile Inar sold his ancestral property and moved to Dragonstone Island.

There are only five Targaryen dragons, and four of them have died for unknown reasons.

However, Targaryen's strength failed to drive Velaryon to achieve class leap.

The membership of Lys and the port taxes of the three city-states.

In addition, Velaryon lost a direct line of dragon masters, and his daughter Lanal had a marital disagreement.

He and Rhaenys were growing old, and one day they would die.

By then, Velaryon's decline was foreseeable.

Rhaenys crossed her arms, looked at the several broken corpses, and laughed dumbly: "Corliss, at least Rhaegar respects you and does not specifically suppress Velaryon."

She was clearly dissatisfied with her husband, and the tragic death of her nephew inspired him to protect the family.

But there’s one thing to remember first.

Murdering members of the royal family is a serious crime of treason.

Sea serpents understand this.

It is precisely because I understand that I feel even more sad about this.

The power of the royal family completely overshadowed Velaryon's influence.

The sea snake was helpless and said: "I just hope that your good nephew will be merciful and not attack the hero."

"Colliss, you are my husband"

Rhaenys was firm and blunt: "No one dares to harm the Lord of the Tides. Neither Melias nor I will agree."

"Rhaenys..."

When the sea snake heard this, all the uneasiness in his heart disappeared, and he rarely showed a tender gesture.

There were two things in his life that he was extremely proud of.

First, the nine voyages brought the Velaryon family to unprecedented prosperity.

The second is to be lucky enough to marry a good wife.

"That's enough. The Corliss I'm familiar with is not that petty."

Rhaenys held her forehead helplessly and explained her purpose: "Lanael wrote me a reply. I'm sorry for not being able to defend Rhaenia."

"This is as it should be, the children are grown up."

The sea snake nodded in agreement.

Rhaenys raised her eyebrows and broke the news: "White Maggot is pregnant, and it may be a boy."

The sea snake's color suddenly changed.

White maggots are pregnant, and the things involved are too complicated.

It's so small that Damon will definitely marry more, which will shake Lanner's status.

If an heir is born, will there still be a place for Velaryon in Tyrosh in the future?

Moreover, multiple marriages and heir qualifications have been important factors in the royal family's disagreements in recent years.

Sea Snake realized the difficulty of the matter and said keenly: "The eldest princess in the valley has never had a surname. I heard that Your Majesty often can't sleep at night because of this."

"You mean Rhaegar will also be involved in this?"

Rhaenys was astute as ever.

The sea snake nodded slowly: "No matter what happens to the white maggots, we must first stabilize Lanner and don't act randomly."

Daemon's permission to marry more was originally approved by Viserys.

It is hard not to say that the marital discord between Damon and Lannal was intentional on the part of the royal family.

Lady Jeyne of the Vale married into the royal family and was deceived by Rhaenyra.

The white maggots are pregnant and will inevitably become the trigger for the second dispute.

It's not just the marital affair between Damon and Lanner, it's also a challenge to the rules.

At a time when Volantis and Slaver's Bay are eyeing each other, war is about to break out.

With his politician's keen sense, he has understood Rhaegar since he came to power.

Rhaegar will definitely take advantage of the situation and use the war to carry out unknown revenge.

If Laena and Velaryon act rashly, they may step into the trap dug by Rhaegar.

We must first figure out the pros and cons, what is more important and what is not important.

Rhaenys said solemnly: "What are you going to do? Laena has a share in Tyrosh, we can't just sit back and watch."

"No hurry, let me think about it."

The sea snake just felt a headache and thought: "Send ravens to the Red Keep first to win Rhaenyra's support."

Rhaenyra and Laena are close friends, and she is also the adoptive mother of her granddaughter, Baena.

With her coming forward, at least she can help Baena fight for the right to inherit the throne.

"Just send a letter to the Red Keep?"

Rhaenys thought it was far from enough.

The sea snake pondered for a moment: "Celtigar of Crab Island, Baratheon of Storm's End."

Daemon wanted a son, but he must be born from Laena's belly.

Only in this way can the next ruler of Tyrosh have Velaryon blood.

Unite all the old friends and prepare to put pressure on Daemon.

"Okay, I will write a letter to Cassandra in person."

Rhaenys agreed immediately, and suddenly thought of the Celtigar family, and said silently: "Shireen that child..."

Shireen Celtigar, Lannino's new wife.

After Lannino was killed, she did not return to Crab Island, but lived alone in Tidewater City.

The sea snake also felt sorry and advised: "Shireen is a good child, and our son owes her."

"Ask her if she wants to write a letter to the family."

Rhaenys sighed: "I will ask, but there is probably no hope."

Shireen hated her family for marrying her to a husband with an alternative orientation.

After Lannino got into trouble, she almost cut off contact with the Celtigar family.

"Take good care of her, and it can be regarded as compensation for Lannino."

The sea snake shook his head and turned away.

He was going to Hull Town to check on the progress of the Sea Serpent's repairs and visit an old friend.

The assassination of Renia gave him a different view on the issue of succession.

That young man named Adam could be promoted.
