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

Chapter 53 Dragonstone Island

 “House Velaryon?”

Rhaegar was a little interested.

Rhaenyra smiled and said: "Yes, a family that is proficient in voyages and has been friends with our family for generations."

“I heard that Lord Sea Snake is not a fuel-efficient lamp, which makes my father very distressed.”

 Lega meant something.

“These are all issues caused by the previous generation over inheritance rights. Our trip also has the purpose of reconciling with the Velaryon family.”

Rhaenyra did not want her brother to be biased and reveal some of her secrets.

Rhaegar wondered: "The Velaryon family is not as powerful as the Targaryen family, so why should they take the initiative to seek peace?"

 “This is something for the king to consider.”

Rhaenyra tugged at his nose, her voice dissatisfied.

 She is an heir with no real power, so she doesn’t know what her father’s concerns are.

Rhaegar mused: "It is very dangerous for House Velaryon to ride our dragon."

Rhaenyra was startled when she heard this, and said in astonishment, "That's because of Aunt Rhaenys."

 “Only Aunt Rhaenys, then.”

 …

The sun is high in the sky.

 The sailing ship is anchored in the waters under the jurisdiction of Dragonstone Island.

The guards paddled two canoes and carried the group onto the beach.

 At the end of the voyage, Viserys breathed a sigh of relief and liked the solid feeling of stepping on the soft sand.

“Your Majesty, the castle has prepared sumptuous food and wine.”

 The acting city lord of Dragonstone Island led his attendants to wait for a long time, then respectfully saluted and said hello.

Upon hearing about the banquet, Viserys smiled: "Very good, that's what I meant."

He called his wife and children to come forward, trying to use words and smiles to ease the rift last night.

 Allison followed with the child on his right side, while Rhaegar and his sister walked on the left hand in hand.

 The two sides are clearly divided.

The acting city lord of Dragonstone Island saw this scene and opened the topic with a wink.

“This is the first time for the little prince and princess to land on the island. Do you need me to introduce them?”

Rhaegar didn't even look at him and said, "My sister is the princess of Dragonstone."

Rhaenyra squeezed his hand to signal him to stop talking.

The acting city lord felt slightly embarrassed, and Rhaenyra came to his rescue: "Lord Robert, please explain it to my brothers and sisters."

 “As you command, princess.”

Robert nodded slightly and kept smiling: "Dragonstone is a huge island with rugged rocks and few crops."

“But because there is an active volcano on the island, it is very suitable for dragons to live.”

　　　…”

This gentleman looks very serious on the surface, but in fact he is a talkative person.

Even though no one paid him any attention, he was still mumbling endlessly.

 Viserys shook his head and laughed, only Rhaenyra would talk to him from time to time.

Passing by the majestic cliff, a dark city gate carved with dragon patterns appeared in front of it.

Lord Wood stopped talking and shouted to the towers stationed on both sides of the city gate.

The dark city gate slowly opened, and what was revealed to Rhaegar was a winding staircase stretching for several miles, paved on the high mountain leading to the giant castle on the top of the mountain.

It was a huge structure built entirely of black stone and planned and built in the image of a giant dragon.

 Behind the city gate, there were a group of upright guards standing on each side.

 As the door opened, a chorus of greetings was shouted to Viserys.

 The majestic momentum rushed towards Rega, which shocked Rega quite a bit.

Viserys led the way and climbed the bridge-like stone steps.

 It can be seen that he is very satisfied with this reception.

 Lord Robert began to chatter again.

“The castle on Dragonstone was built in the ancient Valyrian period as a stronghold on the continent of Westeros.” ˆ ˆ ˆ “Thanks to the stone civilization of the ancient Valyrian period, this castle is cast entirely in black stone and is made of a material that is currently unavailable. The technology achieved completes the exterior design of the castle.”

“From a distance, it looks like an ancient dragon crouching on the top of the mountain, looking at the continent of Westeros.”

This time Rhaegar listened very carefully.

The dragon-shaped castle on Dragonstone Island and the long steps at its feet are indeed astonishing creations.

 After walking for a while, we finally entered the castle.

 The entire hall is dominated by black and red colors, which is in line with the aesthetics of the Targaryen family.

 Wash your hands briefly and formally sit down.

When the meal was almost done, Viserys rubbed his belly with satisfaction, sipped the wine and asked: "I passed the raven to you, how are you doing on Dragonstone?"

Lord Robert reported: "Your Majesty, the volcano on the island spewed lava two days ago, which alarmed Wormisor and Silverwing. Fortunately, they did not hurt anyone and quickly returned to their lair."

“As long as nothing happens, I can prepare to help my two sons train the dragon tomorrow.”

Viserys said with a smile.

Lord Robert shook his head, wondering: "Because of this commotion, the two young dragons that were guarded in advance all hid, and we are still looking for their traces."

Hearing this, Viserys' face instantly became ugly. He put down his wine glass and stared at Robert questioningly.

“The two young dragons are gone. What do the dragons and dragon guards on the island do for food?”

Robert lowered his head, like a child who made a mistake, and apologized: "I'm really sorry. The young dragons were originally very quiet, and they were released on Dragonstone Island, which made us too lax."

 What's wrong is what's wrong. Lord Robert is very good at this and does not shirk responsibility.

Viserys's eyes widened angrily, and his newly filled belly seemed even bigger. He said angrily: "Find the young dragon as soon as possible. It also takes time for the princes to establish contact with the young dragon."

 “Yes, your merciful Majesty.”

Lord Robert bowed repeatedly and rushed to find the young dragon as if he were running away.

There was only one family left at the dinner table. Rhaenyra questioned: "Vormithor and Silverwing have been sleeping for many years, and they still show up."

“It’s nothing strange. Volcanic eruptions are natural disasters, and giant dragons also know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.”

Viserys thought of the dragon that once belonged to him, Balerion, the Black Death.

It was a giant dragon that was larger than Vhagar, with a pair of wings that covered the sky and the earth, and the dragon's flames were enough to melt stone.

Unfortunately, it was too late for him to control Balerion.

　　When he was a boy, he could only ride Balerion and fly around King's Landing, but he couldn't even go back and forth to Dragonstone.

Recalling the past years, Viserys chuckled, pushed away his chair and stood up: "Your king and father is full, and now he wants to go back and take a nice nap."

 After he left, the table fell silent.

 Hurry to fill their stomachs and leave the table.

 …

　　It was still early, Rhaegar pestered Rhaenyra and asked her to take him around Dragonstone Island.

There was nothing wrong with her, so Rhaenyra agreed to the request.

The two of them walked around the castle first and looked at the magnificent buildings of the ancient Valery period.

Rhaegar was amazed by this.

Not only was the castle built in the shape of a dragon, but there were also two towers rising from the ground in the shape of a dragon, with their heads looking out in all directions.

 The time comes in the afternoon.

Rhaenyra couldn't stand Rhaegar's insistence and took him for a walk on the beach.

 Looking at the towering cliffs, Rhaegar was in a very cheerful mood and cheered.

Compared to the cage-like Red Keep, he liked the natural atmosphere of Dragonstone so much.

Rhaenyra looked at her younger brother running on the beach and said with a smile, "Poor kid, he hasn't been far away since he was a child."

Rhaegar had not yet realized that Dragonstone was just the doorstep of House Targaryen.

 Only when you leave the scope of the king's territory can you enter the seven major kingdoms.

“Sister, come and take a look, there is a deep and dark cave here.”

At the beginning of Longshi Island, please chase more, don't raise books!
