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

Chapter 462 The Birth of a Baby Dragon
Nightfall, Old Town.

Starry Temple.

Rhaegar lay on his back in the center of the sculpture of the Seven Gods, his eyes slightly closed and his breathing steady and powerful.

The giant sword Dawn was placed beside him, and the sword body was like transparent crystal, attracting the starlight and moonlight to scatter.

Outside, the nuns knelt and prayed, and they were used to this scene.

After seven days and nights of observation, they were certain that the handsome prince before them was the incarnation of God.

Otherwise, even if you don't eat or drink for seven days and seven nights, your complexion will still remain rosy.

Call upon the light of the stars every night to nourish the brilliance of your silver-golden hair.

These special phenomena cannot be explained by conventional explanations.

Outsiders won’t know.

At this time, Rega was in a deep sleep and fell into a dream.

In the dream, war and fire go hand in hand, dragons and disasters go hand in hand.

Rega's vision was blurred and he was passively trapped in the smoke-filled battlefield.

His head was bowed, his body clad in a suit of Valyrian steel armor as dark as night, as if shrouded in a layer of black mist.

He raised his hands, holding the sword True Fire and the Lost Dragon Claw in each hand.

Wuwuwu——

An inexplicable horn sounded, and I suddenly felt hot and uncomfortable all over, as if my blood was boiling and burning.

Rhaegar listened attentively, reverting to his dragonborn state, his purple eyes turning into two vertical pupils.

The sound of the horn suddenly changed, as if breaking through the thick fog.

Ancient, heavy, fiery...

“This is not my battlefield.”

Rhaegar was half confused and half awake, and suddenly realized that this was a dream.

It's like the nightmares that have been following me since childhood.

Bo~~
Thinking of this, the world before my eyes shattered like a spider web.

The scene changes and the perspective is split into two.

One is the Red Keep in King's Landing, and the other looks like a dragon's lair in King's Landing.

Rhaegar thought he had woken up from a dream and stood by as a spectator in confusion.

The Red Fort was obscured by a white mist and nothing could be seen.

The dragon's lair appeared before our eyes.

The reason why it is called a dragon's lair is that there are three dragon eggs placed in a straw nest in a closed space.

The shell of a dragon egg is scaly and comes in different colors.

One is red like fire, the other is blue like the sea.

The last dragon egg has one-third of its upper portion black and two-thirds of its lower portion red, like a black egg placed on a flame.

"Hiss..."

A slight hissing sound was heard, and cracks appeared on the last dragon egg.

Paji——

The eggshell broke, and it seemed as if a small head was launching a headbutt.

Rhaegar suddenly realized and vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

The explorer's prompt sound came to my ears.

"Congratulations, the Heart of the Star has been activated, and you have obtained..."

As the sound rang out, the dream collapsed.

Starry Temple.

Rega opened his eyes suddenly and sat up as if he had been resurrected from the dead.

"Dream!"

Rhaegar's face turned pale, he pinched his fingertips with his nails, and let out a long sigh.

I haven't had such an immersive dream in a long time since I joined the war.

At this time, there was a whisper from a distance.

Rega had sharp senses and turned his head to glance in the direction of the altar where the nuns were gathered.

"The Son of God awakens, and his hair is like silver-gold stars..."

"The giant dragon outside the temple is also sleeping. It can eat ten goats in one mouthful..."

"Hush, keep your voice down, and pray to the Seven Gods..."

Rhaegar eavesdropped on a few words and then stopped paying attention.

His eyes fell on the giant sword Dawn.

The milky white sword body like glass turned into a transparent luster, with a layer of starlight attached to the surface, and the appearance changed drastically.

"The relic has activated."

Rhaegar muttered and fiddled with the sword.

Bang!

The hand did not touch the sword, and a piece of milky white iron ingot fell to the ground, next to the giant sword Dawn.

Soon, the dawn began to hum and tremble, as if uttering a mournful cry.

The milky white iron ingot was like a magnet, greedily absorbing the starlight from the Dawn Sword and stripping off the transparent color after transformation.

A good while.

The giant sword Dawn trembled and returned to its original milky white color.

The milky white iron ingot transformed into a ball of lustrous white light, containing starlight magic power, and quickly began to transform.

Rega was stunned. He didn't expect that there were blood-sucking worms among the relics.

The Explorer panel appears.

[Seven Gods Blessing]

Level: Legend (Red)
Effect: Magical talent +50%
Comment: "The gift of starlight magic will improve your qualifications in all aspects."

Rega was slightly startled, and held up the ball of white light in his palm without rashly poking it.

The newly acquired relic seems to be somewhat similar to [Blood and Fire from the Same Origin] and [Blood of True Dragon].

They are all in addition to talent.

The difference is that the latter two are exclusive to the fiery blood of Targaryen, while the former is more comprehensive.

"Would you like to try to learn starlight magic?"

Rhaegar put his hand to his chin, thinking secretly.

I haven't figured out how to use fire magic yet, and there's no obvious use for coming into contact with starlight or other magic.

It's enough for Targaryen to ride dragons and control fire.

The so-called [Blessing of the Seven Gods] is somewhat useless.

Lei Jia frowned slightly and asked suspiciously: "Why do I feel more like a resource for cultivating offspring?"

His fire magic talent is maxed out and doesn't need any additional bonuses.

Thinking of this, Rega recalled the scene in his dream.

"Nest, dragon eggs, broken shells..."

Rhaegar recalled silently, and suddenly he felt something in his heart. He was surprised and said: "Could it be that Rhaenyra gave birth?"

Counting with fingers, I found that I was eight months pregnant.

Grand Secretary Orwell estimated that the due date would be next month, which would be the ninth month of pregnancy.

Normally, the pregnancy lasts for ten months and the birth takes place in one day.

Renee was carrying twins in her stomach, and the fetuses were growing very fast, so she couldn't wait for ten months.

Lannar also gave birth to twin daughters at more than nine months of pregnancy.

"No, I have to go back."

Rhaegar's mind was clear. He picked up the greatsword Dawn, stood up and strode out.

The nuns were startled and blocked the way ahead, saying piously, "Your Highness, there is still one night left to the seven days and nights you mentioned. Please don't give up."

Rhaegar had no time to pay attention as his body suddenly burst into flames.

"what!!"

The nuns were frightened by the flames and made way for them.

But the look in his eyes didn't seem to be one of fear, but rather a hint of proper reverence. Rhaegar paused, looking back at the closed inner hall deep inside the sanctuary, with a faint candlelight in his eyes.

An old charlatan really dared to leave him hanging for seven days and seven nights.

"I!"

Rhaegar spoke softly, attracting the attention of the nuns present.

The nuns did not dare to step forward and foolishly maintained their faith.

Rega watched quietly, thinking of the exaggerated rumors these days, and an idea flashed in his mind: "I will be enlightened in seven days. The seven gods will teach me the truth of the world. I am the one favored by the gods."

The nuns held their breath, not daring to close their ears.

Rega didn't want to waste time. He looked around the temple and fixed his eyes on a copy of the Seven Star Bible placed at the feet of the statue of the Father God.

He strode over and held up the thick Bible in both hands.

When I turned to the chapters that talked about the disputes between gods and humans, and secular royal power, I tore them all out.

In front of a group of nuns, Rhaegar walked out with the Bible under his arm, and said in a mysterious voice: "The Father showed me the way, the warrior gave me strength, and the stranger told me the cycle of life and death."

"The old gods have retired, the old Faith of the Seven Gods is complex, and the new gods are about to create a new Faith of the Seven Gods, spreading it to every inch of Westeros."

"I! I am a practitioner of the new religion, a person favored by the Seven Gods, and a disseminator of their will."

Finally, Rhaegar looked back at the seven tall sculptures, made a prayer gesture, and said solemnly: "As a secular person, I will build a seven-star cathedral in King's Landing that is even bigger than the Starry Cathedral, and recruit believers of the Seven Gods to learn the new religion."

After saying this, his figure disappeared into the night, leaving the nuns looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Protestant?"

"The Seven Star Cathedral..."

"The future king will preach the doctrine himself..."

The nuns murmured to themselves, and then they became excited.

Outside the Starry Temple, Rhaegar casually tightened the incomplete "Seven Star Bible" into a space necklace and climbed onto the dragon's back of the Glutton.

The daily gossip gave him inspiration.

The belief in the Seven Gods is powerful, and nobles and commoners across the entire continent of Westeros believe in it.

However, the strength of the Seven Gods’ faith does not mean that the Archbishop is strong.

Rhaegar took everything in one go and turned the faith of the Seven Gods into his own faith.

If the new god spreads widely, then I will split off and create a newer new religion.

Although the Faith of the Seven Gods seems brilliant, there are many loopholes in its doctrines.

Lei Jia checked for deficiencies and improved the content that both nobles and commoners liked to read and were willing to believe.

That is the good stuff that everyone believes in.

For example, the authority of the stranger.

Rumor has it that the Stranger is the god of death, who takes away the souls of the dead.

But where has the soul gone?
Heaven or Hell?

Rhaegar could say: "Good people go to heaven, and bad people go to hell."

There is no doctrine about what heaven is like; it is only described as being very beautiful.

The doctrine also does not explain what hell is like, it only makes people feel fear.

Rhaegar made some minor changes.

Heaven and hell can then be visualized and deeply rooted in people's hearts, forming an inherent idea.

Compared to the ambiguous Faith in the Seven Gods, the various doctrines of Protestantism are clearer.

As the crown prince, Rehgar built a great cathedral and recruited believers who were willing to believe.

On the same track, the old Seven Gods Faith of the Starry Temple was directly knocked away.

By then, people's thinking will be changed subtly.

From the divine right of kings to the divine right of kings.

A Protestant Bible was drawn up, with final authority for interpretation resting with the Targaryens.

I can marry as many wives as I want, and minimize the divine power.

The king's orders are royal decrees, and Targaryens are above ordinary people.

As for whether anyone will object?
How many dragons does the Archbishop have!
Now they are all hiding in the inner hall and not coming out. Just try to see if you dare to stand out and say something.

"Greedy, return to King's Landing at full speed!"

Rhaegar mounted the saddle and rode his dragon into the night.

"Hiss-"

The Glutton roared, shook its huge body slightly, flapped its wings and flew into the night sky.

Rhaegar looked down at the shrinking old town and said to himself, "I will be back!"

Next time he comes, he won’t give so many chances.

……

at the same time.

Red Castle, princess' bedroom.

"Aha~"

Painful groans and continuous heavy breathing.

The midwife and the maid were busy running around, always ready with basins of hot water and towels.

creak-

The door opened and a slender figure rushed in.

Lannar was wearing a red and white dragon-riding suit, and was anxiously looking for her friend.

"Haha~~"

Rainier was sweating profusely, lying on her back on the bed, gritting her teeth.

Lanar's eyes narrowed and he hurried forward: "Rhaenyra, I heard your voice across the corridor. What's the situation?"

Take a closer look.

Her knee-length white skirt was rolled up high, with large swaths of fabric dyed bright red.

Rainier's face turned red, and she cried out in pain, "I can't give birth. Neither of my children wants to be a brother."

Lannar was speechless, thinking that he still had the heart to joke at this time.

He turned his head and stared at Grand Maester Orwell and asked, "She has been in labor for five or six hours. Is there any way to induce labor?"

Orvel lowered his head, his brain working rapidly.

Childbirth is inherently unpredictable and dangerous, and the speed of childbirth varies from person to person.

Some people can give birth while lying in bed, and the process is smooth and seamless.

Sometimes it will take a long time, even a whole day and a night.

"what!!"

Rhaenyra suddenly screamed, tears welled up in her eyes, and her waist arched unconsciously.

"Rhaenyra, how are you?"

Lannar's expression changed drastically. She held her friend's hand and kept an eye on what was happening under her skirt.

Even after having conceived twice and given birth once, the experience of childbirth is still vague.

If it hadn't been for Rhaegar's help the second time, she might have died with the fetus.

"No!"

Rhaenyra groaned in pain.

"What's wrong?" Lannar was panicked, and her deep olive skin turned a little paler.

Rhaenyra secretly exerted herself and gritted her teeth as she said, "It's time to give birth. The two bastards can't hold on any longer."

"what!!"

After saying this, the moaning intensified and turned into a cry.

Soon, a childish cry spread throughout the Red Castle.

"Wow wow~~"

"Rhaegar, you big bastard!!"

Accompanied by a hateful curse, a second loud baby cry was heard.

"Wow wow~~"
