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

Chapter 476 Damon and Sea Snake Join Forces Again

Leonor Hightower lost his father at a young age. He cried loudly in the knight's arms and almost fainted.

Rhaegar looked around, assessing the value of the fire.

Mond was destroyed in the fire, and several unlucky members of the Hightower branch died in the fire before they could escape.

There was a fire at the entrance of the towering tower last night, and the guards were blocked from putting out the fire.

A large number of servants died, either trying to put out the fire or being trapped.

Looking at the charred tower, Leonor Hightower burst into tears.

Rhaegar knew that the Hightowers would be defeated for ten years.

"Rhaegar."

Rhaenyra stepped forward and handed the pair of babies to Rhaegar, then walked towards Lionel Hightower, who was surrounded and comforted by servants.

As they passed by, she gave him a fierce glare.

As if to say, look at the good things you have done.

Rhaegar's lips curled up slightly, and he held the child and hummed a nursery rhyme softly, watching Rhaenyra send away the servants and coax Lionel Hightower to stop crying.

This is probably the tacit understanding between the Centenary King and Queen Alysanne.

Rhaenyra condescended to help Rhaegar clean up the mess.

It's approaching noon.

The vassal of Hightower, who lived nearby, entered Oldtown to attend Mondstadt's memorial service.

Rhaegar received the guests and announced publicly that Leonor Hightower would take over the territory and title and become the new lord of Oldtown.

As for the cause of the fire, it was determined to be an accidental fire.

Many of them knew privately that Rega was involved in this matter.

After all, Rhaegar arrived in Oldtown to suppress Hightower.

However, the fire was burning from inside the towering tower, and even traces of kerosene were seen.

The towering tower has always been heavily guarded, unless someone knows the secret passage and arranges arson in advance.

Rhaegar obviously does not have this condition.

Therefore, Rega was downgraded from the real murderer in people's mouths to the mastermind behind the scenes.

But no one dared to speak it out in public, and only discussed it quietly in their own castles.

The towering tower is still there, the Hightower family continues to live in the Old Town, and the new lord is also Mond's only son.

This pleased Hightower's vassals very much.

If they were truly loyal, they would not reject Mond's call.

Now that Mond is dead, the conflict between Oldtown and the royal family has been resolved, and everything can be started from scratch.

The vassals do not have to worry about being affected and can still be loyal to their lord, Hightower.

There is no better solution than this.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s true or false, and it doesn’t matter whether the feudal lord lives or dies.

It is important that we live a stable life!

The funeral was held soon.

Due to the young age of the new lord, the Hightower family elected a regent to arrange for the burial of Mond's body.

Rhaegar coaxed his two sons and walked at the front of the team with Aegon and Aemond.

With a slight sidelong glance, Rhaenyra bent down and softly comforted the sobbing Leonor Hightower.

Rhaenyra has gentle eyes and exudes an unstoppable maternal glow.

Rhaegar smiled slightly, looking entranced.

Rhaenyra does have the potential to become a queen, and gives people an extremely friendly and inclusive feeling.

It does not show up in adolescence, but increases with age in adulthood.

Especially after becoming a mother, this sense of tolerance almost drowns you.

Aegon hung his head and said in boredom: "What is the end?"

"Shh!" Imond hurriedly stopped him and advised, "Keep your voice down and don't talk nonsense."

"Tsk, why are you so scared? No one is watching us."

Aegon sneered, his eyes fell on a beautiful girl in the crowd, and rejection flashed in his eyes: "Why didn't you burn her to death? I don't have to fulfill the marriage contract."

"That's your fiancée," Aemond warned.

"Should I give it to you?"

"I have my own fiancée."

"Maybe we can marry two."

Aegon bumped his shoulder against Rhaegar's, his eyes gleaming. "You will marry Jeyne, and extend the rule of exception, right?"

——《The Law of Exceptions》

This is an important condition for maintaining family traditions after the Centenarian King came to terms with the Faith of the Seven Gods.

The content is roughly;

The Targaryens were not the First Men, the Andals, or the Rhoynar, but the Valyrian dragonlords who immigrated from Freehold.

The family has a marriage tradition that is different from that of Westeros, which is used to maintain the purity of its bloodline.

Among them, the University City also participated in the formulation of exception rules.

Once the law was born, missionaries of the Seven Gods faith spread across the continent, explaining it in castles and villages one by one.

Let the people of Westeros recognize the uniqueness of the Targaryens.

Rhaegar glanced at him and carried the two children to his uncle to avoid polluting his eyes. "Don't waste your time. The new version of the "Exception Rule" is only applicable to the king and the heir apparent."

This was something he and his father had discussed privately.

It’s okay for the king to marry two more wives, it’s all for the sake of continuation of his bloodline.

If they really wanted to promote all Targaryens, Daemon and Aegon would marry more wives and develop their own harems before Rhaegar.

That would be a mess.

For the first time, Aegon stood up and argued: "Don't be so selfish."

Rhaegar sneered: "What do you want to do?"

"Not so much!"

Aegon's eyes widened and he stormed off.

Emond slapped his forehead and covered his one eye, unable to bear it any longer.

How could he have such a brother?

The softest words spoken in the toughest tone.

After a busy day, the funeral is over.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Four giant dragons flew out of Oldtown and rushed back to King's Landing together.

Rhaegar rode on the Glutton, silently estimating the time difference.

The Faith of the Seven Gods surrendered, signed a new version of the "Law of Exceptions", and was responsible for promoting Westeros before the spread of Protestantism.

The academy was even worse off, it was almost emptied.

Tru, leading dozens of bachelor's students and hundreds of bachelor's assistants, is counting the gains from splitting the academy.

When Hightower changed his lord, his vassals pledged allegiance voluntarily.

The Clemont and Dayne families who were raiding the farm disappeared, so Aegon and Aemond returned to King's Landing with them.

"There's still one Otto left to deal with."

Rhaegar thought silently.

At this point in time, Otto was probably on his way back to King's Landing.

He didn't kill Otto directly, but let him live.

Judging from Otto's act of burning down the towering tower, the other party was dissatisfied with Mond to a certain extent and even wanted to replace it.

Otherwise, such extreme measures would not be used.

He secretly fanned the flames and helped Otto fulfill his undecided cruel intention.

However, the heir is Mond's son, and it is still not the turn of Otto, the second son.

Rega secretly complained: "If Otto is kept alive, he can be used to restrain Alisson and do some business."

The Three Kingdoms of Women, the Disputed Lands, and Dorne all need management talents like Otto.

Don't think that you will be done with it all once you die. You have to work hard.

……

King's Landing.

Four giant dragons flew into the sky above the city and slowly landed in the dragon's lair.

"Hiss..." Syrax neighed mischievously, refusing to be driven away by the dragon keeper, and carried its driver straight to the Red Castle.

It's not just any dragon.

The dragon's lair is dirty and smelly, and the back garden of the Red Fort is its favorite.

Rhaenyra had no choice but to leave, holding the sleeping Baelon in her arms.

Seeing this, Rhaegar took his two brothers into the dragon's lair.

"Hiss..."

A sharp hissing sound was heard from the Dragon Cave Hall.

A giant light blue dragon was crawling on the ground, its head resting on the tip of its tail, its vertical pupils looking around with ill intent.

Helena was holding a chain, and the dark green dragon cub, the size of a house cat, had one paw tied to it, and it was flapping its wings and struggling hard.

"elder sister!"

Aemond shouted in surprise and ran over excitedly.

Rega was slightly surprised, but did not investigate further.

"prince."

The old dragon keeper stepped forward and led his apprentices to drive away the three giant dragons.

The glutton's pupils were cold and indifferent as he dived into his exclusive dragon pit.

Yang Yan roared at Meng Huo, but was roared back at by the other party, so he obediently returned to the dragon pit to rest.

The sheep thief jumped back and forth, pestering the dragon keeper to feed two goats, and then lay down on the spot and fell asleep contentedly.

Of all the dragons, it is the most rebellious.

"elder brother!"

Seeing Rhaegar's figure, Helena smiled and trotted over with the baby dragon.

The Missed Emond: ...

He withdrew his hands awkwardly, turned around and hugged Aegon.

Helena ran over, pointed at the baby dragon with her little hand, and asked in surprise: "A new baby dragon has hatched in the dragon's lair?"

She originally wanted to take a look at Blizzard and Thrax, but unexpectedly she saw this baby dragon with the coloring of a poisonous mushroom.

Avoiding the gazes of Aegon and Aemond, Rhaegar whispered, "This is the dragon hatched from the dragon egg of House Belerys, the companion dragon of little Aemon."

"Little Eamonn?"

Helena has a silly and cute expression.

Rhaegar could tell at a glance that she didn't know about Rhaenyra's childbirth, so he told her the truth without any psychological barriers.

Helena opened her mouth wide after hearing this and stammered, "I, I already have a nephew."

His voice was light and there was no regret in it, but instead it was mixed with a hint of excitement.

It was only then that she saw a tiny baby in Rhaegar's arms.

Helena's eyes were full of stars. She poked little Eamonn's face with her fingers and sucked on him like she was teasing a puppy.

Little Eamonn: ...

Her big watery eyes opened wide, a trace of saliva flowed from the corner of her mouth, and she looked at her aunt in confusion.

Not very smart.

Rhaegar found it funny and called his two brothers: "Let's go back to the Red Keep."

Aegon and Aemond looked at each other, their eyes moving around on Helena, and they closed their mouths at the same time.

Helena's demeanor changed slightly, and she stopped teasing her nephew.

She did not receive news of Rhaenyra's childbirth, but she did receive other news.

"Hiss..."

The young dragon neighed, breaking the momentary silence.

Little Imon was attracted by the sound. He stared at the young dragon with his big eyes and couldn't stop drooling from the corners of his mouth.

The young dragon spread its pair of pale red wings, tilted its head and looked at the human cub, a hint of reminiscence flashed in its vertical pupils.

Immediately.

"Hiss..."

The young dragon flapped its wings and flew off, screaming in panic and trying hard to escape.

It still remembered that when it had just hatched from its shell, it was bitten by this human cub.

"Wow wow..."

Seeing the young dragon roaring, little Emon imitated it and barked, revealing his pink gums.

"Haha, you're still very rude."

Rhaegar wiped the saliva off his son's mouth and took Helena and the others out of the dragon's lair.

Before leaving, he instructed the dragon keepers to take the young dragons to the Red Keep occasionally and have more interaction with little Aemon.

……

Red Fort, banquet hall.

Upon learning that his children were coming back, Viserys forced himself to endure his discomfort and ordered his servants to prepare a sumptuous lunch.

Rhaegar changed his clothes to wash off the dragon smell on his body.

The others also washed up.

After flying a dragon for a long time, your body will not only be stained with dragon odor, but also sweat odor.

At the banquet.

Viserys sat at one side of the long table, looking at the group of children with a pale face and a relieved smile.

In his arms, he held Baeron, who was chewing his hand.

Rhaenyra sat aside, put little Aemon on the dining table, and let the little guy show his teeth to his brother in protest.

Baeron glanced at it and continued to chew his hand calmly.

Viserys was delighted: "Look at these two little guys. They will grow up to be great warriors."

Rhaegar smiled in agreement, glancing at Helena and Aemond from time to time.

Compared to the heartless Aegon, this brother and sister are more sensitive and are both worried that Alisson could not attend the banquet.

When the wanderer returns home, he cannot see his mother.

Rhaegar understood.

He has been without a mother since he was a child, so he is used to it.

Halfway through the banquet, the brothers and sisters had almost finished eating.

Lei Jia saw that his father was hesitant to speak several times, so he took the initiative to ask: "Father, is there any news outside?"

This time it was a family dinner and a luncheon.

Leonor and other royal ministers did not attend and did not receive the intelligence in time.

Viserys hesitated. "A messenger from Braavos offers terms of peace."

"Is Ferenken so kind?" Rhaegar frowned.

Viserys shook his head. "Not Freken. He died in the wildfire explosion. Braavos elected a new sea lord who seeks peace."

"That's a good thing."

Rhaegar thought of Braavos across the narrow sea and asked, "Are the terms of peace proposed by the new sea king harsh?"

Otherwise why would my father be so hesitant?

Viserys looked around at the children, his eyes showing a trace of fatigue. He said sadly, "The new Sea King's peace terms are generous, but he hopes to stop the Iron Throne's invasion of Dorne and sign a truce agreement with Prince Quill of Sunspear."

"His arms are so long?"

Rhaegar was alarmed.

Viserys said: "Dorne has surrendered. The new Sea King means to stop the Dragon's wrath. He will use this to persuade the rebellious Dornish to put aside their prejudices and return to peace."

"The messenger also said that the new Sea King hopes to reopen the shipping routes to the disputed land and restore the trade rights of both sides."

Hearing this, Rhaegar seemed to be thinking about something.

Understood.

He killed too many people in Dorne, and the new Sea King gave in.

Adhering to the consistent tradition of the free trade city-state, the two sides signed peace terms and everyone made money together.

Then why does father have this expression?
Figures flashed through Rhaegar's mind.

Viserys sighed and said bluntly, "Emissaries from Braavos have come not only to King's Landing, but also to Driftpoint, the Stepstones, and Sunspear."

"Damon and the sea serpents joined forces and cut off the messenger's genitals in order to refuse to stop the war."

To put it bluntly.

The sea serpent Corliss was extremely indignant and at one point wanted to chop off the messenger's head, stuff it in a box and send it back to Braavos.

He has lost his heir, and he will not rest until his revenge is complete.
