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

Chapter 40 Abolition of the Chain

Hiliu’s voice was loud and loud, and his words spread throughout the arena.

 Immediately attracted countless inquiring eyes.

 This is the first time that someone has exposed the identity of the king's eldest son in public and expressed his support in person.

Faced with such sharp words, Viserys thoughtfully said frankly:

"Swordsman, I know your origin. If you really want to serve my son, you must first swear your faith and your heart will be bright."

Xiliu pulled out the iron sword, raised the sword above his head with both hands, and said solemnly: "I am willing to swear an oath!"

　　Immediately, Shiliu swore loudly to help Rhaegar Targaryen become a man and to maintain his authority before he came of age.

This scene was seen by many interested people, and they all observed the expression of Princess Rhaenyra.

I want to see how the princess, as the heir, views someone who is loyal to her younger brother.

Rhaenyra always smiled and sat demurely on her chair.

He seemed to be happy for his younger brother and didn't care about it at all.

 Just think of it as a very ordinary knight who is willing to follow a lord.

No one noticed that Rhaenyra secretly pinched the top of her thigh under her sleeve.

Viserys was also paying attention to Rhaenyra's expression. Seeing that she was not strange, he nodded secretly.

 Took Xiliu's iron sword, put it on his shoulder, and announced loudly: "I will appoint you as a royal dancer and give you the title of Sir. I hope you will not forget your oath."

 “Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty.”

Xiliu respectfully expressed his thanks.

 At this point, the tournament to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the king and queen came to an end.

 The nobles and knights walked down from the auditorium and followed the king back to the Red Castle for the banquet.

Rhaenyra walked among the crowd. Although her expression was well managed, she still couldn't hide the loss in her heart.

Daemon followed her and saw his niece's lost state.

 There was a hint of wantonness in his eyes.

 …

 At night, there was singing and dancing in the hall of the Red Fort.

Rhaenyra, who had no intention of having fun, left first and walked along the stairs to a familiar door.

Looking at her brother's door, Rhaenyra suddenly woke up and realized where she was.

 Ever since Rhaegar was injured, she had been coming here every night.

 Meet my younger brother who has difficulty moving.

 On the other hand, she was shaken by her father's proposal.

 It is far better to form an alliance with your brother than to marry a strange man you don’t know.

Just as he was hesitating whether to knock on the door, he suddenly heard the little girl's laughter coming from inside the door.

Rhaenyra's face changed slightly, and she didn't even want to open the door.

When he saw them, he saw Rhaegar and Helena lying face to face on the bed, with a chessboard in the middle.

 “Rhaenaela, are you here?”

Seeing his sister arriving, Rhaegar smiled and waved, inviting her to play chess together.

Rhaenyra slowly closed the door, walked over to Helena and sat down next to her. She touched her sister’s little head and wondered, “When did your relationship with Helena become so good?”

 Helena's big eyes stared at Rhaenyra, and she called her sister slowly.

Rhaenyra smiled back, liking her sister very much.

 It is much easier to worry about than my younger brother.

Rhaegar took a pillow and put it under his body and said: "Helena is always bullied by Aegon. I allow her to come to my place to play with toys when she is free."

He said, pointing to a pile of toys next to the fireplace.

Rhaenyra nodded suddenly. She had already noticed the pile of exquisite toys.

 Originally I thought it was Rhaegar's own, but I didn't expect it was for Helena.

Rhaenyra didn't want to think too much about this matter. While instructing Helena on how to play chess, Rhaenyra asked Rhaegar about today's situation.

Rhaegar was in a good mood and said happily: "It's okay, the wound is starting to scab, and the grand maester said it will heal soon."

“The Grand Maester said that you have a special physique and it seems that you will become a powerful warrior in the future.”

Rhaenyra said to herself meaningfully.

 She did not mention Xi Liu as a person, and it was better to leave it to her younger brother to contact him on his own.

After chatting for a while, Lei Jia suddenly thought of the dragon lair and asked, "Has anything been found in the dragon lair investigation?"

 He is very concerned about this matter.     I have been inquiring about it these past few days.

Rhaenyra brought good news this time: "The person who changed the shackles privately was Maester Bath. His father sentenced him to chop off his hands or put on black robes and go to the Wall."

 “I knew there must be bad people among the bachelors coming out of the old city.”

Rhaegar shook his fist angrily and said in confusion: "This kind of person should be beheaded in public. It's really easy for him."

“I proposed severe punishment to my father, but he rejected it.”

Rhaenyra shrugged helplessly.

Rhaegar gave her a sympathetic look and said no more.

He knew that his sister's life was not easy either. She was the heir, but her father had never given her any real power.

  Suggestions made always fell on deaf ears.

Rhaegar changed his voice, thinking of the light blue dragon, and asked seriously: "How is Menghuo? Has the chain been removed?"

“Don’t worry, my father ordered all the shackles in the dragon’s lair to be abolished, and the dragon’s lair to be separated, so that there is a wider space for activities.”

 Speaking of this matter, Rhaenyra agreed.

She also didn’t want Syracuse to be chained, so it would be best to set aside a separate area for the dragon to move around.

Hearing this, Lei Jia felt relieved and sighed: "The Dream Fire is very pitiful. It has been locked up in the dragon's lair for decades. I really hope it can welcome a new owner soon and return to the sky."

 After this danger, Viserys saw the recklessness of his eldest son.

 It was decided through the Imperial Council that he will take his family back to Dragonstone Island to live for a period of time in the near future.

 Choose new baby dragons for the eldest son Rhaegar and the second son Aegon to tame.

There are exactly two young dragons that meet the requirements on Dragonstone, which are very suitable for the two sons to control.

 Hence, Rhaegar also gave up the idea of ​​taming the Dreamfire.

 Looking forward to the upcoming trip to Dragonstone.

Looking at her sentimental brother, Rhaenyra smiled knowingly and said abruptly: "What should you do if your father decides to prepare a marriage for you?"

Rhaegar stopped playing chess and winked: "If necessary, I am willing to take on the responsibility."

 He is still young and gets answers to many questions from books.

Throughout the history of the Targaryen dynasty, except for a few wanton fools, both men and women had to accept marriage.

 Aegon the Conqueror had two wives.

　　I married my sister Visenya out of duty, and I married my sister Rhaenys out of desire.

 Subsequent monarchs either married the daughter of the guardian family or married close relatives.

 Even to his father Viserys and uncle Daemon.

 Isn’t it also about marrying with the nobles of the valley to ensure that the supporters of the royal power are loyal enough.

 Under this custom, Rhaegar did not think he could escape the fate of marriage.

 He just wants to marry a wife who is beautiful and has a gentle personality within the allowed scope.

 If you think about anything else, you are greedy.

 Listening to her brother's answer, Rhaenyra lowered her head and fell into silence.

 She knew that her brother was right.

Perhaps, she shouldn't be so willful and should shoulder the responsibilities on her shoulders.

After a while, Rhaenyra smiled again, chatted with Rhaegar for a few words, then said goodbye and left.

 Looking at the closed door, Rhaegar remained silent for a long time.

 He guessed Rhaenyra's purpose tonight.

 80% of the time, she was forced to get married by her father and came to him to seek some comfort.

 But he could not give Rhaenyra the answer she wanted.

If you talk nonsense just to echo her thoughts, it is likely to have immeasurable consequences.

 Wearing a crown is not for the purpose of being superior to others.

 But let the light of the crown shine upon all.
