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

Chapter 29 Illegitimate Son

Rhaegar interrupted his defense and said angrily:

"Isn't it too exaggerated that my father grounded me just because of some rumors?"

“Rumors hurt people’s hearts. There were all kinds of things that were circulated at that time. Your Majesty also doesn’t want you to get into trouble.”

Ilic tried to explain.

Rhaegar sneered: "He is afraid that someone will instill bad thoughts into me."

 Listen to the prefix of the current version.

 “Sleeping Hatchling!”

 Sleep refers to his former frail and sickly condition, and the young dragon has the dual meaning of young age and death.

 Let me ask you, when a young dragon wakes up from a deep sleep, what is the first thing to do?

 Of course, keep eating and grow into a real dragon.

 At that time, what kind of prefix should be assigned?

 “Awakening real dragon or roaring angry dragon?”

 This was a deliberate move by someone who spread the identity of King Rhaegar's eldest son among the people in order to stir up trouble.

“A sleeping dragon is a sleeping dragon. It is better than a dying dragon.”

Leijia comforted himself, looked directly at Yilik, and warned: "Give him exactly the same amount of wages, and tell me any rumors about me in the future as soon as possible."

"clear!"

Ilik looked serious and accepted the order.

 “Let’s go, take me to buy some toddler toys, and then go to the dragon’s lair.”

Rhaegar turned around and got into the car, his already bad mood worsening.

 …

 The carriage stopped for a while on Silk Street, and Ilic went around buying a lot of toys.

 Store everything in the carriage before rushing to the dragon's lair.

 Longxue is built against the mountains and is far less deserted than the downtown area.

 Because it was an impromptu decision, no one came out to greet them at the gate of Dragon Cave, only two guards in armor.

Seeing the royal carriage arriving, a guard trotted forward and asked, "Who is visiting?"

 “Rhaegar Targaryen, the eldest son of Viserys I!”

 Ilic announced his identity as Rhaegar and stepped out of the carriage alone.

Although I didn't see the prince's face, I saw the white knight's white robe. The guard saluted respectfully and opened the door to let him go.

 Long Cave covers a large area and has many entrances and exits.

There is not only the main entrance on the surface, but also caves on the back and open spaces on the cliffs...

　　And so on, satisfy the place where the dragon passes.

 The carriage is parked outside the door, guarded by its own guards.

Rhaegar chose to walk in and walked into the huge open space like a large school field.

 At the end of the school grounds is a tall, majestic dome building.

 Not far away, the bachelor and dragon master who managed the dragon cave arrived.

Dragonmasters are dragon keepers, most of whom are descendants of Valyria and have been loyal to the Targaryen family for generations.

They are proficient in High Valyrian and can comfort the dragon's restlessness to a certain extent. They are responsible for taking care of the dragon's food, drink and diarrhea.

 “I have met His Highness the Prince!”

 Every visitor saluted.

 “Get up, excuse me for interrupting, I just want to see what the dragon’s lair looks like.”

Rhaegar was in no mood to talk nonsense with them and got straight to the point.

"Okay, since Maester Bath is not here today, I will be your guide."

 A young bachelor with black hair, dark eyes, and a sallow complexion presented himself.

"May I have your name?"

Rhaegar asked politely out of basic respect.

 “Menas Weishui, Your Highness.”

 The young bachelor smiled ashamedly and whispered his name.

 “Weishui?”

Rhaegar was slightly startled, remembering that this was the surname of an illegitimate child.

The surnames of illegitimate children in each region of Westeros are different.

　　The unified surname in the north is Snow.

 The king’s territory is Wei Shui.

Rhaegar looked Menas up and down and found that his clothes were simple and even patched in places.

It seems that things are not going well. That's right. Illegitimate children are not welcome.

Even a well-educated illegitimate child is not welcome among the bachelors.

Feeling his gaze, Menas's face changed slightly, a feeling of inferiority came over him, and he gritted his teeth secretly.

As an illegitimate child, I have received countless looks from my childhood.

 Be patient and it will pass.

 “Raise your head, your parents have given you a face that is not ugly, don’t be reluctant to use it.”

Rhaegar said suddenly.

Mainers raised his head obediently, with a well-controlled face and a humble smile.

“I cannot advise you to ignore your origin, because the world will help you remember it.”

"But you have your own talents. Not everyone can be a bachelor, so don't underestimate yourself."

 Seeing Menas' inferiority complex about his origin, Rhaegar gave a few words of encouragement and said no more.

　　Whose belly crawls out from can determine a person's life.

This thing is seriously injured and Rhaegar can't help him.

 Fortunately, her mother worked hard to bring him into this world and gave him enough glory.

 “Thank you, Mom!”

 Praying silently for his dead mother, Rhaegar called on Menas to lead the way.

To shed tears in the quilt at night, now he has to be a tour guide for himself, and he cannot be mixed with personal feelings at work hours.

On the way, Rhaegar asked: "How many dragons are there currently in the dragon's lair?"

“There are three in total, namely Dreamfire, Corakxiu, and Syracuse.”

Meiners adjusted his mood very quickly, without any sign of the melancholy temperament he had just now, and answered with all his heart.

“Take me to see it, I haven’t had a close encounter with a dragon yet.”

 “I’m afraid not, Your Highness.”

Rhaegar asked strangely: "Why, do dragons also reject strangers?"

"That's not the reason. Before you came in, Princess Rhaenyra and Prince Daemon came ahead of you, planning to ride the dragon on a trip."

Mainers tells the truth.

　　"Rhaenaela is here too. Take me quickly. I must go and see the dragon."

Rhaegar's eyes lit up when he heard that his sister was here, and he was looking forward to asking her to take him flying around on a dragon.

"Okay, the princess has just arrived. If we rush there now, we should still be able to make it in time."

Mainers counted the time and did not refuse.

 “Then what are you waiting for? Let’s go quickly.”

Rhaegar urged Menas to lead the way, and the group entered the dragon's lair and headed towards the open space on the high platform halfway up the dragon's lair.

 …

Hurrying slowly, Rhaegar climbed onto the high platform panting.

Just in time to see several dragonmen comforting Syracuse and unshackling its feet.

 On the other side, Colakxiu, who was all scarlet, was ready.

Daemon and Rhaenyra were dressed in dragon-riding costumes, standing between the two dragons and chatting.

"elder sister!!"

Rhaegar shouted loudly, ignoring Ilic's dissuasion and running towards Rhaenyra excitedly.

Hearing his voice, Rhaenyra turned around in surprise and asked, "Rhaegar, why are you in the dragon's lair?"

Rhaegar came closer, took his sister's hand skillfully, and said proudly: "Didn't I tell you last night that the dragon in the dream said there was something wrong in the dragon's lair, so I came here to take a look."

“I didn’t expect that as soon as I entered the door, I heard that you were there. I thought you were watching the tournament.”

Rhaenyra looked at him funny and asked, "Are you coming to see me or the dragon?"

 “Of course I’m looking for you, the dragon is waiting behind you.”

Rega was extremely excited when he saw the two dragons at close range, and his eyes kept turning around the two dragons.

 “This yellow dragon must be Syracuse, as beautiful as you.”

 Compared with the slender body and the angular head of Colaksio.

Rhaegar preferred Syracuse, who was well-proportioned, and flattered him with compliments.

“Syrax is the name of the harvest goddess, of course she is beautiful.”

Rhaenyra saw through Rhaegar's little thoughts early in the morning, folded her arms on her chest, and asked knowingly:

 “So, my brother, you have seen me, is there anything else?”

Chapter 3, there are two more chapters in the afternoon, so stay tuned.
