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

Chapter 80 Horror Cave Castle

 The next day.

Rhaegar woke up from a soft goose feather bed, frowned and rubbed his eyes.

“Prince, Lord Sam is waiting for you to have breakfast in the living room.”

Outside the rather ornately decorated stone bedroom, the crisp voice of the maid came.

"I see."

Rhaegar responded and got up slightly tiredly.

 He had another dream last night.

Dream that Rhaenyra kept crying, holding his hand, and telling her worries about his situation.

I also dreamed about my father.

His Majesty the King, who always has a pleasing smile on his face, was so angry for the first time.

 He punished many people by cutting off their heads and placing them on the beach of Dragonstone as a warning to others.

 “Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.”

Rhaegar muttered to himself and decided to return to Dragonstone Island immediately after dealing with the shadow monsters.

 …

Rhaegar opened the door, and standing next to him was a half-grown girl wearing a silk gauze skirt.

“Miss Yara, you don’t have to come and notify me in person.”

The maiden was one of Sam's many daughters, and Rhaegar was not yet old enough to bear such kindness.

Yara smiled slightly: "I hope you don't mind the responsibilities assigned by my father."

“No, you are too polite.” Rhaegar smiled back.

 Sam Crabb is indeed a very pleasant person.

 Last night, a family dinner with a small number of people was specially held for Rega.

The food was plenty and there was no noise from the guests.

Rhaegar was satisfied with the food he had eaten and the place where he rested.

The two walked down the stairs to the living room, where Sam was already sitting at the dining table waiting.

“Prince.” Sam stood up and greeted with a smile.

Rhaegar smiled and motioned for him to sit down, and he also sat in his seat.

While eating a simple but exquisite meal, Rhaegar asked: "Lord Sam, what do you think of my proposal last night?"

Sam paused and said solemnly: "The shadow monster is a threat to the peninsula, and the Kleb family is willing to fight side by side with the prince."

  Different from the savages in the western part of the peninsula.

 The eastern part of the peninsula is controlled by the Brun family and the Kleb family, and the living space for the savages is small.

If you want to find the shadow monster and gather the scattered savages, the help of the two families is indispensable.

Rhaegar has read a lot of history books and understands the importance of winning over local nobles.

 The Brun family was driven away by him, let alone mentioning it for now.

 The Kleb family is a good choice for cooperation.

　　Sam obviously would not refuse the prince’s request for help.

Gladly accepted.

 …

 Breakfast is over.

Rhaegar had no idea how to lead his army to kill the shadow monster.

 Sam gave him a suggestion.

“The hulk where the shadow monster first appeared is still stranded on the beach. I couldn’t get close to it before. Now you are riding a dragon and you can try to search for it.”

Rhaegar thought for a moment and agreed: "I will do as you say, Lord Sam."

 The plan is completed.

Hundred well-equipped soldiers were mobilized in Whispering Castle, and Sam personally led the team out.

Rhaegar mounted the Glutton and soared above them.

 The savage army has no place to fight for the time being and is stationed in the wild.

 The Whispering Castle is built near the sea, not far from the beach.

after an hour.

 As soon as we arrived at the beach, we saw a stranded scrapped cargo ship in the distance.

 “Glutton, land.”

 Seeing the hulk, Rhaegar ordered the gluttons to land on the beach.

The hulk has been baptized by storms and exposed to wind and sun, and has been completely destroyed.

 The bow of the ship was raised high, and the mast was half-broken.

　　Sam sent ten soldiers to search the hulk, working in groups of two, and shouted immediately when encountering danger.

 However, ten soldiers went in and walked around, returning without any trouble.

 “The ship is empty…”

 The soldiers reported.

Rhaegar and Sam looked at each other, a little disappointed.

“Return to Whispering Castle and wait for any news from the savages.”

Rhaegar gave the order and took the dragon into the air.

 Simple search will definitely not catch the shadow monster, you have to use bait to fish it out.

 …

 Whispering Castle. The Glutton soars.

As soon as he landed, Rhaegar found a messenger riding a white horse being stopped outside the gate of the wall.

 The messenger kept justifying something.

The soldiers guarding the gate refused to listen and even pushed and pushed them away.

 “Wait, where did you come from as a messenger?” Rhaegar asked curiously.

As soon as the messenger saw Rhaegar descending on the dragon, he quickly broke away from the guard and said hurriedly: "Prince, I am the knight of Dreadden Castle. Please read the letter."

 “Dreadhole Castle…Family Brun?”

Rhaegar frowned and asked, "What's wrong with Wells? I told him that the war on the peninsula is temporarily suspended."

 “Lord Wells is dead!”

 The messenger looked sad and fell to his knees.

"What?"

Rhaegar was slightly startled, thinking he heard wrongly.

The messenger said sadly: "After leaving you yesterday, Lord Wells returned to the castle and lost his temper. No one dared to come near."

“This morning, the maid went to help the Lord get up. When she opened the door, she found that he was dead on the bed.”

 “What’s the body like, but he was assassinated?” Rhaegar smelled danger.

“There were no external injuries on Lord Wells’s body. After examination, the bachelor concluded that the mouth, nose and ears were pierced with a blunt instrument, damaging the brain.”

 Messengers came one by one.

Rhaegar did not do what he thought after hearing this, and immediately realized that it must be the hand of the shadow monster.

“Not on the hulk, but I went to find that idiot Wells.” Rhaegar murmured softly.

 Shadow monsters used to only attack savage tribes.

 Now the savage tribes are integrated and have defenses.

 It actually attacked and killed a noble lord.

 This is a very dangerous signal.

 Meaning that the target of his killing had no warning.

If the shadow monster did not attack Wells last night, but found Rhaegar who was resting in Whispering Keep...

Lega felt a chill running down his spine and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

 “No, from now on I have to eat and live with gluttons.”

Rhaegar quickly touched the scales of the glutton to calm down his shock.

 After feeling confident, Rhaegar took the envelope from the messenger, opened it, and read it carefully.

　　The general story is that Wells was killed, he agreed to a truce with Whispering Keep, and invited Rhaegar to a banquet at Dreadhole Keep.

 The last person to sign the document was Barbat Brun.

 Wells's younger brother.

Rhaegar took the letter and read it over, exhaled and said, "I have read the letter. You wait here for Lord Sam. I will go first."

 Wells's death put a lot of pressure on him.

 He planned to go to the Terror Cave Castle to see if he could block the shadow monster.

 Having said that, Rhaegar drove the glutton away.

Go straight to the other seaside castle opposite the Whispering Castle to the north and south - Terror Cave Castle.

 The two castles were built on the south coast and the north coast of the eastern part of the Crab Claw Peninsula, separated by a large wilderness.

 Fortunately, Gluttony is very fast, and half an hour is enough for a round trip.

 …

Soon, Rhaegar drove the dragon and rushed to the Horror Cave Castle.

 A gloomy castle built on a mountain.

 Gluttony circled around the Horror Cave Castle and slowly landed.

 “Hiss…”

He raised his head and neighed, and the green dragon flames spurted out, announcing the arrival of a Targaryen prince.

 The soldiers on the city wall were so frightened that their legs weakened and they immediately lost their ability to resist.

Rhaegar looked down at the closed gates of the Dreadhole, waiting to be greeted by his master.

As expected, the solid wooden door opened from the inside, and a group of well-dressed men and women walked out.

 The leader is a tall, thin and handsome young man.

 70% similar to the Wells I met yesterday.

 behind him.

They are a fat woman with red and swollen eyes, and a middle-aged man in armor with a rough face.

 The Glutton landed in the open space in front of the castle.

As soon as a group of people walked out, they bumped into a man and a dragon.

 They were all frightened by the gluttons who were taller than the city wall.

 Fortunately, I noticed Rhaegar on the dragon's back.

Think of it as a dragon of House Targaryen, they are vassals of House Targaryen.

The handsome young man walked out first and saluted and said hello: "Distinguished prince, Barbat of the Brun family greets you."

Rhaegar looked puzzled and asked, "Brother You passed away?"

I wish you all a happy first day of the New Year.
