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

Chapter 480 The Largest and Most Complete Family Dinner
"Otto!"

Seeing Otto groaning miserably on the ground, everyone present changed color.

Leonor's expression changed slightly, his eyes wandered between Otto and Doris, and anger was visibly evident on his face.

As ministers in front of the emperor, how can we sit idly by and watch our colleagues being humiliated?

Doris had already prepared a response, and explained: "This lord tried to sneak across the narrow sea by boat, but the fire happened to break out in the towering tower, so I captured him."

In fact, it's pretty much the same.

But it was not his own will, but he was instructed by someone else.

Rhaegar looked down at Otto's miserable condition and frowned slightly.

Been waiting for him for a long time.

"Hiss~~"

Otto took a deep breath and used all his strength to prop up his upper body, revealing a pale face that did not look like a living person.

Rhaegar glanced sideways and noticed his left leg, which was covered in dried blood.

Otto also raised his head, staring at the high and mighty crown prince with numb eyes, and felt a chill in his heart.

Who could have imagined how much he had suffered at the hands of the Dornishmen in the past half month.

Doris grabbed his collar and said in a deep voice, "There was an accident during the arrest. A stray arrow shot his leg and he didn't have time to get treatment."

After saying this, he looked very apologetic.

Leonor was so angry that his fists clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound. He wished he could smash the Dorne bastard's head with one punch.

If he hadn't seen that there was something wrong with Otto, he would have regarded it as a naked provocation.

Damon crossed his arms and laughed, "A lame leg shouldn't be a problem for the blood-sucking leeches."

After all, that thing relies on crawling.

"Prince Daemon, you are as mean as ever."

Otto laughed miserably, reached out to move his numb left leg, and sat up with the help of Doris.

Damon smiled sarcastically and watched the fun with pleasure.

He was happy when Otto suffered.

A man's happiness is so simple.

Rhaegar's mouth twitched slightly, thinking that his uncle was really undisguised, but his face remained calm: "Ser Doris, do you have solid evidence?"

"Of course, Prince."

Doris was calm and composed, as if he had rehearsed it hundreds of times. He took out a letter from his pocket and said, "This is a letter between this lord and the Prince of Pentos."

Otto's expression froze and his breathing became heavier.

Doris didn't even look at him, and continued: "I also captured a few sailors and assassins, and they can also identify them."

Wow!
The words were spoken calmly and leisurely, showing extraordinary confidence.

Leonor's eyes widened. He never expected that Otto would dare to do so many "big things".

Lin Man and others were also in the hall, looking at Otto in shock with extremely complicated expressions.

The queen had just been imprisoned for a short time, and Otto had no intention of helping his daughter. Instead, he burned down the tower and escaped?
"Clap clap clap."

Rhaegar clapped his hands, stared at Otto, and said in a pretentious manner: "Lord Otto, I only want to ask one thing, did you set the fire to the Tower?"

"Cough cough..."

Otto coughed angrily and gritted his teeth and said, "Prince, what's the point of saying this now?"

Of course he was the one who set the fire, but it was definitely not enough to burn his brother Mond to death.

Someone must be interfering.

Rhaegar asked, "You are a minister to the king, but you do not want to serve the kingdom. Why did you flee to Pentos?"

"My brother asked me to visit the Prince of Pentos and promote the family's trade with the Iron Throne."

Otto argued feebly.

Rhaegar shook his head and said, "That reason is not valid. Doris has produced sufficient evidence to prove that you murdered your brother and absconded with the money."

Otto's lips moved, unable to refute.

The fact is that he set the fire, and it was Mond who sent him to Pentos to avoid the limelight.

"You are guilty as charged, Otto Hightower," Rhaegar announced.

Otto looked at him deeply and closed his eyes unwillingly.

He is wronged!
"I know you are wronged." Rhaegar complained to himself.

But so what?

Rhaegar's lips curled up slightly, and he said, "Ser Doris, thank you for sending Otto Hightower back."

Doris bowed. "It is my honor to serve the Iron Throne."

Their eyes met for a moment, and they both saw a smile of satisfaction in each other's eyes.

Rhaegar looked at Lionel and said, "Otto has made a great mistake. He will be imprisoned in the Red Keep dungeon awaiting judgment."

"Yes, Prince."

Leonor was a little confused, but still followed orders.

The guards guarding the entrance to the hall entered the hall and dragged the disheveled Otto out again.

Otto looked up at the sky, his pale face showing deathly silence, and he had no intention of resisting at all.

Also powerless to resist.

The parliament continued for a while and ended with a harmonious three-party meeting.

Rhaegar walked down the Iron Throne and gave Ilic a look as he passed by, asking him to follow him.

Ilik understood immediately and followed him out of the throne room.

Finding a deserted corner, Rhaegar asked, "Where are Laena and her two daughters?"

Elik recalled and answered, "The princess asked Lanar to keep her company, and Lady Benella and Lady Rhaena are studying with Prince Daeron."

Rhaegar's eyes darkened as he ordered, "Always keep an eye on Lord Corliss's movements and don't cause any trouble before or after the dinner."

Eric was stunned for a moment, as if he was trying to understand the deeper meaning.

Rhaegar blinked.

"Yes, I'll do it right away."

Eric understood and called a team of guards before leaving.

……

Red Fort, a guest room.

The two heads of Chaotou Island are arguing.

Collis was furious and shouted: "Look at what you did. The peace talks went smoothly and we are in a passive position."

"Collis, are you blinded by anger?"

Rhaenys faced the issue head on and said rationally, "The kingdom deserves peace. War is not the only way to solve problems."

Collis's head swelled, and he retorted: "But we made great sacrifices in the war and took the initiative."

House Velaryon has paid too much.

Lanino was killed, two of his nephews were killed, and more than half of the fleet was turned back. Now that there was no heir, even the foundation of Chaotou Island was in danger.

He understands the difficulties of the Iron Throne, who will solve his dilemma?

After she finished speaking, Rhaenys closed her eyes with tears in her eyes and fell silent.

When Lannino was mentioned, her heart ached.

That was the son she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy.

Lannino was persecuted, who could understand the pain she felt as a mother?

Seeing his wife's tears, Collis felt pity for her and gradually calmed down.

The couple sat at the table, one on each side, and neither of them spoke.

quite a while.

Rhaenys regained her strength, wiped away the tears from her eyes, and said seriously: "Daemon betrayed in the middle of the battle. It must be that Rhaegar promised him benefits."

"Nonsense, both uncle and nephew are guys who will not do anything without profit."

When it comes to Damon, Collis becomes indescribably angry.

When Tyrosh was captured, it was agreed that both sides would work together to cooperate with Pentos and Volantis to divide the disputed land with the Iron Throne.

It was because of Damon's lack of patience that his great plan was ruined.

He secretly occupied Tyrosh, expelled all forces including the Iron Throne, and enclosed the land for his own use.

As a result, Pentos and Volantis successively became alienated and gradually derailed from the Iron Throne.

The Velaryons also failed to gain a share of territory outside the Narrow Sea.

"Let's not talk about this for now. We just have our own agenda."

Rhaenys waved her hand to interrupt, catching the important information and sensitively said: "Rhaegar put aside past grudges and wooed Daemon, which proves that he is afraid of Velaryon and will also be willing to put forward conditions to appease you."

The Velaryons played a major role.

There is no reason to only win over Damon and instead suppress the war heroes.

Collis figured this out and realized something: "This dinner is a negotiation dinner."

"Yes."

Rhaenys nodded and reminded: "Instead of looking for trouble, it is better to think about the conditions that are beneficial to us."

"Humph!" Collis snorted coldly and said, "No matter how tempting the conditions are, Lanino cannot be resurrected."

If possible, he would not want anything but that his eldest son was not killed.

This put him in a dilemma.

Collis thought about it, stood up and said, "I'll go talk to Damon, he will have something to say to me."

He may not be able to gain enough benefits by himself, so he must unite with another important person.

Rhaenys sat indifferently, picked up her wine glass and took a sip: "You can try to go out before the dinner."

"What do you mean?"

Collis frowned, walked quickly to the door and opened it a crack.

In the corridor outside the door, Eric led a team of guards to guard it heavily.

Noticing Corliss's gaze, Ilic said respectfully, "There are outsiders in the Red Keep. We are ordered to protect Princess Rhaenys and the Earl."

Collis had a blank expression on his face and slammed the door shut.

Rhaenys said sarcastically, "Rhaegar will not give you the opportunity to go along with Daemon. His duty is to maintain peace, not to resolve disputes all day long."

Collis's face turned completely black.

……

Soon, night falls.

The Red Castle was brightly lit, and servants were walking back and forth, preparing for the most grand dinner of the royal family in recent years.

Banquet hall.

There were two long tables put together, with people gathered around them.

Aegon held a bottle of wine and pulled Aemond to the side of the long table to chat, boasting about his great achievements in burning down Sunspear City.

"You've had enough to drink."

Aemond was very disgusted and took out the one-eyed dagger to show off without leaving a trace.

Helena was right next to the brothers, half of her body leaning on the table, laughing heartily.

Little Eamon lay in front of her, his purple eyes wide open, babbling warnings.

On the other side of the long table.

Rhaena sat in a chair, watching little Daeron wrestle with his sister Benella.

Little Darren was at a disadvantage.

Daemon and Lanaar stood across the table, looking after the three children while talking about Tyrosh's reform plan.

"I will first build a prince's palace, modeled after the perfume gardens of Rees."

"You don't seem to be able to come up with that much money..."

The middle of one side of the long table is also the core position of the banquet.

Rhaenys sat in a chair, one seat away, while Rhaenyra held little Baelon and played with him.

The aunt and niece glanced at each other from time to time, and then turned their heads away.

An uncrowned queen, a former heir to the Iron Throne.

The two women who missed the throne felt inexplicably embarrassed when they saw each other on important occasions.

Collis had a dark face and sat on Renis's right hand, just watching Helena teasing her nephew across from him.

Everyone chatted casually, letting go of the tension of the long war.

The attendants walked through the hall, arranging dishes one by one.

Aegon gulped down his drink and said impatiently, "Why hasn't the banquet started yet? We can't just drink."

Aemond opened his mouth and was about to retort.

Collis took over the conversation and said seriously: "I didn't realize that the important people haven't arrived yet. Wait patiently."

"Tsk!" Aegon curled his lips and turned his head away.

You old bastard from Velaryon, do you really think the Red Keep is your home?
creak-

The door suddenly opened, and the crisp sound attracted everyone's attention.

Rhaegar had a calm expression, his long silver-gold hair draped over his shoulders, and he was dressed in a solemn and dignified black robe.

He bent slightly and supported the other person with both hands.

When Collis saw this, his expression changed slightly and he pushed his chair away and stood up.

"Everyone, welcome to this family dinner."

Viserys walked slowly, half of his body supported by his eldest son, and a smile of relief from the bottom of his heart appeared on his pale face.

The family finally gathered together.
