Chapter 6 Father
When he was about to walk to the Red Castle, a cough came from the shadow of a certain house.

Christon Cole raised the big sword in his hand, and the guards on the side were also very nervous.

A figure slowly came out, the sun left traces on his knife-sharpened face, and the silver hair showed the identity of the comer
"Uncle..." Rhaenila looked at the person who came, and signaled the guards not to be nervous

"My dear uncle will not hurt me, put down your weapons"

Facing Cole's scrutinizing and hostile eyes, Damon Targaryen also smiled, "My little pearl..."

Damon Targaryen has always liked Rhaenyla, his niece. He brought her gifts from outside the kingdom and told her stories of his own adventures. He was considerate and meticulous. It can be said that Damon Targaryen is a blood and In the original book of fire, Rhaenyla's gleam of light.

"I didn't see Kraxhu in the dragon's lair, where did you hide it?"

"My blood worm is hungry, I let it fly away"

"Father is angry"

"I know"

Daemon Targaryen was not used to Rhaenyra not pestering him as usual

"Uncle, it's better to drink less wine"

Rhaenila disliked Damon's smell of alcohol, she still drifted over after standing so far away
"... "

"... "

Nothing was said between the two, and there was silence for a while.

Damon is a proud person, no one can hear him submissive, but his face still showed guilt towards Rhaenyra, but after a while, he became firm

Ranila ignored him, turned around and walked into the Red Castle
Damon wanted to say something, but Rhaenira had already walked away.

When Rhaenyra stepped into the hall of the Red Castle, the night had already crept into the sky
The scented candles were lit by the servants, reflecting the bright and silent interior of the empty hall
The floor was covered with brocades from Myr, and the walls were filled with roses and honeysuckle picked in the morning in vases.
Yili poured Rhaenila a glass of sweet ale she made herself. Rhenila moistened her throat and put it down. She changed into a dress while being served by other maids.

The Red Castle is so peaceful at this time, if possible, Rhaenila hopes to continue like this

The clash of armor rang outside the door

Christon Cole said loudly: "Princess, Your Majesty wants to see you"

The door was opened, and a slightly tired Ranila came out
"I see, sir." Cole nodded and turned back, but his steps seemed a little messy
The maid lights up the lamp and leads Rhaenyla to go

"Father King"

King Viserys, who was reading by the lamp, did not put down the book upon hearing this.

There was a moment of silence before Viserys continued,
"I heard you met Damon today"

Rhaenella nodded.

Viserys slapped the book on the table, "He still has the face!?"

Rhaenila didn't speak when she heard the words,

The relationship between the king and queen is very good, and Rhaenyla has been growing up in a happy life, but the problem of heirs has always troubled the couple. Open the abdomen and take out the young.

Between a husband and a king, Viserys chose the latter.

It's just that fate seemed to have made a joke, and Rhaenyla's younger brother, Prince Belron, also died a day later.

"Rhaenyra, my child"

Viserys looked at Rhaenyra with love in his eyes

"I have already decided that a ceremony will be held in three days and you will be my successor"

"God can't change my decision"

Viserys' eyes were full of Rhaenyla's figure from childhood to adulthood, and the kindness in his eyes gradually turned into firmness.

Between a father and a king, he chose the former.

Starting from the 101st Great Council, Viserys was trapped in the game of heirs throughout his life, but he never gave up choosing Rhaenyla until his death.

"Father..." Rhaenyra stepped forward, letting Viserys take her by the hand, and walked towards the fire.

This is a secret that every generation of family heirs must keep.

"The language of our family is blood and fire. Since Denise the Dreamwalker led the family to Dragonstone and Aegon the Conqueror unified the Seven Kingdoms, Targaryen has kept this secret. Long night will come in the future. , the cold wind of the far north will resound through the earth, and Targaryen, there will be a savior to drive away the long night, do you understand?"

"Our dragon dynasty is an arrangement of fate..."

Viserys said seriously to Rhaenyla, "Besides, your great-grandfather also issued an order that if anyone other than us hatches a dragon, we will kill his entire clan, leaving no future troubles." "

"The Braavosi stole three dragon eggs during your great-grandfather's reign... it's always been a problem with him"

"Of course, except for Targaryen, no one can hatch the dragon again and become a dragon knight. This is determined by our blood, the trade federation, Volantis has so many Valyrian remnants, and they are also very concerned about the dragon. coveted, but we are the only ones with dragons"

"Father..."

"My child" Viserys patted the top of Rhaenyla's head and continued, "My heir will only be you"

"I hope you will do your duty"

"Father will always support you"

It was late at night, and Rhaenyla still couldn't sleep.

Lying on the silk quilt, Rhaenyla thought of this history in blood and fire.

The reason why Viserys has always been troubled by the right of inheritance is, of course, because he is a hard-won king.

This is about Targaryen's consanguinity law and Andal's law of heir succession.

His succession came from the 101st Council convened by Renrui King Jeffries to decide the candidates for the crown prince. At that time, the candidates included the daughters of Jeffries' eldest son Aemon, the uncrowned queen Rhaenys and the second son Belron. eldest son Viserys.

King Renrui chose the latter, which is also Targaryen's submission to the nobles of Andal, and the law of blood relationship is less than the law of direct birth.

In the original history, after Rhaenyra was regarded as the heir, the queen tampered with the will and supported her son to succeed. After the bloody civil war, Rhaenyra's son Aegon III succeeded to the throne, and the law after that It was even decided that the inheritance rights of Targaryen females would always be less than that of males, and the heir apparent system was formally established.

There was no queen in Targaryen, even Daenerys, the mother of dragons. In the end, a big gift package was given to the savior.

In Blood and Fire, there are several periods of history that have far-reaching influence. In addition to Rhaenyla's succession, there is also the war that Maegor started with the church after she had a second wife. But she herself was called Maegor the Cruel...

Just like in the 101st Great Council, the nobles wanted Viserys to succeed to the throne, now Viserys wants Rhaenyra to succeed, and it is also very difficult
So Viserys held a banquet and asked all the nobles, big and small, to swear allegiance to Rhaenyra, and Rhaenyra officially became righteous.

But if cheap brother Aegon II shows up...

The nobles are sure to jump again...

Without Aegon II, there will be Lei Geng, Jiang Geng...

So Viserys wooed the Velaryon family again, let Rhaenyra marry him, and then started a love-hate relationship.

Rhaenila lay on her back on the big quilt and sighed helplessly, why is it so difficult to be a queen!
Yi Li, who was watching the night by the bed, was startled when she saw the princess sitting up suddenly

Rubbing his eyes, he yawned and said, "Your Highness, do you want some water?"

Rhaenila shook her head, and told Yili, "Take a soft blanket to sleep too."

The master and servant went back to sleep, and they had nothing to say all night.
