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

Chapter 23 Dragon Training Manual

Rhaegar poured out all the gold and spread it all over the bed.

 He was lying on the glittering bed, enjoying himself even though the distance was uncomfortable.

Taking time to open the books he took out, Rhaegar, who was proficient in Old Valyrian, started reading.

 The book records a brief history of a Dragon King family named "Daijalian".

That dragon-patterned medal is the emblem of this family.

It is carved with two intertwined and surrounding giant dragons, full of life.

The Daigalion family is a large family with a long heritage in ancient Valyria.

 There are more than 300 recorded dragons.

 At its peak, there were an astonishing sixty-seven dragons living in the family, regardless of age or age.

With such a foundation, he ranks at the forefront of the forty Dragon King families, second only to a few families.

The space bracelet on Rhaegar's hand is one of the inherited treasures of the Daigalian family.

 The holder is the heir of a certain family.

I lost my bracelet for some unknown reason.

Rhaegar became more and more frightened as he read. He gradually sat up straight and read every line of text seriously.

 The book briefly introduces several Dragon King families that are allied with the Daigalian family, and roughly analyzes the strength of these allies.

 After roughly reading the first book, Rhaegar picked up the second one.

 The things recorded in the book are not that important this time.

  This is just a detail of the vassals of House Daigalion.

 Changing books again, Rhaegar kept absorbing the knowledge in the book.

 When I didn’t know which book to read, I finally found something useful from the historical explanation.

 —"Dragon Habits"

Rhaegar perked up and secretly prayed: "The content is about dragons, I hope to get something different."

 “What is a dragon?”

 “How was the dragon born?”

 “The connection between the dragon rider and the dragon…”

  The opening chapter describes how dragons came into existence, and introduces when dragons were discovered and tamed by the ancient Valyrian civilization.

 These are commonplace things, similar to the theories analyzed in books written by some great scholars.

Rhaegar didn't care where the dragon came from, he just wanted to know how the dragon egg hatched?

  Unfortunately, this is not mentioned in the book.

 There are frequent records of dragon masters taming dragons.

“With the blood of a dragon, you can connect with the dragon, climb on the dragon’s back and become a dragon controller…”

“The Pyromancer’s research has led to the theory that the wisdom of dragons exceeds that of beasts and is second only to humans…”

“Giant dragons have a long lifespan, and their size continues to grow over time. Many dragons are too large to fly in their later years...”

Rhaegar looked through it carefully and suddenly saw a key line of annotations.

“Dragon belongs to the sky and the wilderness. The dragon kings allow the dragon to fly to various places to build nests in their free time. During war, they use magic horns to summon their distant companions..."

“Magic horn? It’s another magic item that can summon dragons.”

Rhaegar had never heard of such a magical horn.

The Targaryens all use the ancient Valyrian language to give instructions to the dragons, and there are no special dragon training tools.

 Continue reading silently.

“Dragons are not slaves, they are the flesh and blood compatriots of the dragon masters. If the dragons are bound by chains and returned to the sky, they will be severely cursed...”

 Seeing this, Rega frowned.

 “You cannot treat dragons like slaves, otherwise you will be cursed…”

Rhaegar immediately thought of the dragon's lair in King's Landing.

It was a huge building built during the reign of King Maegor I to house the dragons bred by the Targaryen family.

 Balerion, Vhagar, Vormithor…

　　And other powerful dragons once lived in the dragon lair.

 At this moment, there are at least three dragons living in the dragon's lair.

Dreamfire, Coraxio, Syracuse…

 They are all permanent residents of the Dragon Cave, especially Syracuse.

Syrax is Rhaenyra's dragon. It has yellow scales and settles in the dragon's lair after hatching from a dragon egg.

Rhaegar has never been exposed to dragons, so he doesn’t know the difference between the dragons in the dragon’s lair and the dragons outside life.

 But he knows one thing, any dragon that enters the dragon's lair will be chained.

  Dragon is a fierce creature with a strong sense of territoriality.　　　　When many giant dragons live together in one place, conflicts are inevitable.

In order to protect the young dragons, the bachelors of the city proposed to imprison the dragons in the dragon lair in shackles to prevent the dragons from killing each other.

With his eyes fixed on the pages of the book without blinking, Rhaegar believed in the warnings in the book.

These books come from the Freehold of ancient Valyria.

 It is a note left by the dragon king family, which is far more powerful than the Targaryen family.

It's not some **** city bachelor's speculation.

 “If you have an opportunity, you should give this book to your father and let him make a decision.”

Rhaegar thought secretly.

 The book was quickly read, and Rhaegar carefully stored it in his bracelet alone for fear of damage.

 Precious knowledge is worth a thousand dollars, and every word above is the luck of the Targaryen family.

There are many more books, Rhaegar flipped through them slowly.

　When a person is focused, time passes very quickly, like a fleeting moment.

 A night passes in the blink of an eye.

Its daybreak.

 The morning sun dispels the darkness and brings warmth to the earth.

 Legga, who had not slept all night, suddenly found the sun shining into the room, emerging from the ocean of knowledge.

Rhaegar glanced at the door cautiously, quickly put away the books and the bed full of gold, and put them into the small bracelet on his wrist.

 He doesn't want anyone to find out his secret, at least not now.

“Seven hells, when will the dark circles under my eyes disappear?”

Looking at the glass mirror on the bedside table, Rhaegar pointed at a pair of panda eyes and lamented.

 Fortunately, books will not disappoint those who taste them.

Rhaegar stayed up all night reading and discovered many little details that had not been passed down by the Targaryen family.

For example, taming a dragon involves more than giving commands.

 You must also have the tenacity to believe that you can tame the dragon.

If the dragon tamer is not determined, the subconscious mind does not believe that he can tame a dragon.

 Then, the dragon will sense his cowardice and will never agree with an unconfident weakling.

The best way to train a dragon is to actively climb on the dragon's back and give instructions loudly to the dragon.

 Let the dragon feel your strong desire to conquer, soar into the sky and cross the sea with you.

In this way, the dragon will become one with the mind of the dragon rider.

With excitement in his heart, Rhaegar took a simple shower, and before going out, he held his dragon egg and kissed it vigorously.

 Express your wishes loudly: "Hurry up and hatch, the sky is waiting for us!"

 He firmly believed that he would become a dragon master.

Any doubt in one’s self is a betrayal of the ancient Valyrian blood that flows through one’s veins.

 …

 Pushing open the door, Rhaegar immediately noticed the look in Ilic's eyes.

Those brown pupils are full of encouragement.

 “Sir, could you please stop looking at me with such ambiguous eyes, it bothers me very much.”

 After breakfast, Rhaegar expressed his opinion to Ilic.

Elic was slightly startled and said, "Okay, but I agree with your ambition."

Rhaegar's face was slightly red and he pretended not to care: "Don't pay attention to those trivial matters. There is still a tournament to watch today."

　　Yesterday, in order to welcome Daemon, the tournament ended early.

However, the tournament lasts for seven days in total and will be held every day.

The arrogant Dornishman is still controlled in King's Landing.

Today there will be a powerful knight who will defeat him and get the king's reward.

Targaryen is not the strongest Dragon King family, and its ranking can only be regarded as mid-to-lower.

It can be seen from the fact that Inar only took five dragons with him when he crossed the ocean.

During the time of Aegon the Conqueror, fifty years later, the only existing dragons were Balerion, Meraxes, and Vhagar.

Until the Dance of the Blood Dragons, the number of dragons exploded unprecedentedly.

Special praise should be given to Syracuse. One dragon hatched seven dragons, which can be called a model of early eugenics.
