Game of Thrones: I Became a Crown Prince For a Day

Chapter 14 Bone Crusher - Harwin Strong

“A wild boar attacked me and I killed it.”

Rhaenyra rubbed Rhaegar's head, with a hint of pride in her tone.

 “Wow, heroic pig-hunting lady.”

Rhaegar said this out of nowhere in his mind.

Rhaenyra’s face turned dark instantly.

While Rhaegar was suffering the wrath of his sister's sleeping dragon, a voice interrupted the intimacy between the two siblings.

“Princess, I heard that you dealt with a wild boar by yourself?”

 The sound came from the barbecue grill.

The two siblings looked at each other at the same time and saw a strong man with brown curly hair and a thick beard.

 From the facial features of the other party, Rhaegar felt a little familiar.

  But the two sides have never met.

Rhaenyra knew the other party and smiled politely: "It's just a fluke, Ser Harwin Strong."

Rhaegar suddenly understood when he heard the name Strong.

 Realize where familiarity comes from.

The Larry Strong that made him feel uncomfortable.

Rhaenyra noticed his expression and whispered: "He is the eldest son of Prime Minister Leonor, a very famous knight, known as the Bonebreaker."

“The Bone Crusher? He will break the bones of his enemies?”

Rhaegar asked half-jokingly.

Harwin skinned a pigeon and answered with a smile: "That's right, during a battle, I used a war hammer to smash the skull of an unlucky guy. The people who survived gave me the nickname Bone Crusher. ”

 “Awesome, it seems you are really a powerful warrior.”

Rhaegar responded calmly, and it was not difficult to hear the pride in the other person's tone.

 A knight with such a formidable title is indeed proud of himself.

Halwin quickly cleaned up the pigeons. Harwin took a rag and wiped his hands, and stepped forward to joke:

“I’m pretty good at barbecue. I just saw that the prince ate a lot. I wonder if the princess would like to enjoy it?”

 While speaking, this tall, strong man spoke in a humorous manner and had an easy-going temperament.

 It's hard to imagine that he would smash people's heads on the battlefield.

Facing the invitation from this handsome knight, Rhaenyra smiled apologetically and declined: "No, my father is still waiting for me. No one can say no to the king."

“It doesn’t matter, I will serve in King’s Landing for a long time in the future. If the princess wants to **** craftsmanship, you are welcome to visit me at any time.”

Halwin is very sensible, showing an approachable attitude without being overly attentive.

　　From him, Rhaegar saw something.

respect!

The older Rhaenyra can naturally see it too.

He was a little unaccustomed. He put his hands behind his back and smiled more sincerely: "Yes, Sir."

 Halwin smiled and saluted and stopped disturbing.

This move made Renela’s favorability score even higher.

Looking at his somewhat excited sister, Rhaegar felt confused and curled his lips.

“I’m leaving to see my father, and you can wander around alone.”

Rhaenyra still had to see Viserys, so she hurried away without any time to talk.

 At this time, many princes and nobles gathered in the camp and noticed the princess covered in blood.

 The noisy scene suddenly quieted down, and everyone remained quiet.

Rhaenyra was disgusted by this appraising gaze.

 Walking past with a cold expression, he would catch eyes with some people from time to time.

 Most of the time, the princess’s aura will overwhelm others.

　　The man with a guilty conscience lowered his head and did not dare to look at him.

Rhaenyra curled her lips slightly, looking down on those who were timid.

Looking at the back of the crowd, Rega pursed his lips, seeming to feel the loneliness.

 …

 The hunt in the royal forest is over.

Viserys immediately got into the carriage and returned to King's Landing with his family.

 In view of the wrong behavior of the sister and brother in leaving the camp without permission, the father punished them respectively.

 The princess is of marriageable age, but she doesn’t like the person chosen by the king.

Viserys spent a lot of money to organize a tour of the continent specifically for Rhaenyra.

 On the surface, let Rhaenyra, as the heir, visit the lords and lords in various realms to strengthen the relationship between the vassals and her.

 Show the majesty of the Targaryen royal family.

 Actually, this is indeed the case.

Since becoming the heir, Rhaenyra usually just observes government affairs.     Has no real power.

  Two was not familiar with the lord who swore an oath to her.

Viserys this time is to increase Rhaenyra's presence and make the vassals better accept the heir.

 At the same time as achieving this purpose.

Contests and banquets will also be held in various places.

Take the opportunity to help Rhaenyra find a marriage partner.

From Viserys's point of view, if Rhaenyra doesn't like his choice, let her make her own choice.

 You can choose from great men and women from all over the country.

　　　No one can take notice of you if you don’t believe it.

 This shows how much this father attaches great importance to his daughter’s marriage.

 The problem of the eldest daughter has been solved, and the eldest son Rhaegar has an easier time to deal with.

Viserys used the excuse of recovering from illness to order Rhaegar to continue to live in the Red Keep and was not allowed to leave the gate of the Red Keep.

 For this reason, several bachelors were sent to check his body regularly.

 Confirm whether the frailty has been completely cured.

 Personal freedom was restricted, so Rhaegar naturally refused.

After some arguments, Viserys believed that the eldest son had reached the age of enlightenment.

He also sent two old bachelors to teach him how to read and write.



The ordeal begins when I am forced to wake up at six o'clock every day, attend cultural classes for eight hours, and check my homework the next day.

Rhaegar's whole body was numb.

Viserys did not regard him as a child recovering from a serious illness.

Adhere to the attitude of learning to death if you can’t die.

 Under this kind of cramming education, Rhaegar's originally pale face improved.

But the dark circles under my eyes are getting heavier day by day, even worse than before.

“Damn maester, **** Oldtown, sooner or later I will get back what I lost!”

Facing the tough education from the two old bachelors, Rhaegar made up his mind while practicing calligraphy.

Rhaegar asked when Viserys would be free again.

The answer I got was: "When will your sister return to King's Landing, and when will you walk out of the Red Keep?"

 Thus, Rhaegar missed Rhaenyra very deeply.

 He misses his sister so much!

 Come back quickly!

 …

 Time flies and half a year has passed.

 Junlin welcomes late autumn when the autumn leaves turn yellow.

As a city by the sea, the climate in Junlin has not changed much, but the farmers in the fields have become busier.

Rhaegar, who was in the Red Keep, got good news.

The sister he has been waiting for day and night is coming back.

Rhaenyra ended her travels early and boarded a ship to sail from the Stormlands. She would be back in King's Landing in a few days.

 No matter what others thought, Rhaegar was extremely happy anyway.

 At the end of the class every day, I would sit in front of the glass window in the attic of the Red Fort and look at the sea.

 Looking forward to seeing Rhaenyra's ship returning.

"It's great. My sister is finally coming back. My hard life is finally over."

Rhaegar felt sad about what he had experienced in the past six months.

 He likes to read.

 But it was a last resort way to pass the time when there was no other activity when the body was weak.

　　It is not like studying hard behind closed doors like a prison.

"Prince, you'd better not say this nonsense. The king was very angry when he heard the news that the princess returned without permission."

 Another voice came from the attic.

Rhaegar knew who it was without looking.

Elic, dressed in silver armor and white robes, stood in front of another window, his posture upright like a spear.

“Sir, you don’t know my daily life, don’t you feel sad for me?”

Lega said sullenly.

Ilic couldn't help but laugh: "The king does expect you to gain knowledge, but eight hours of class plus after-class homework is indeed a bit inhumane."
