Game of Thrones: I Became a Crown Prince For a Day Chapter 112

Chapter 112 The Hightower Family

As soon as the words fell.

Applause rang out one after another, starting from Jeyne Arryn's noble line of the Vale, then to the Tully and Tyrell lines of the Riverlands and the Reach…

 They are the most loyal followers of the Targaryen royal family.

 The former heir princess can transfer the crown prince to the prince calmly, and the signal of unity has been sent.

  There is no internal strife in the Dragon Clan, and there is no scandal.

Today is the solemn reserve exchange meeting.

 “Well done, Rhaenyra.”

 In the crowd, Jenny shouted crisply and looked at her good sisters with pity.

 They are cousins, both women, and they are each other's political supporters.

Rhaenyra made a choice and retreat, and she could only support it.

 Amidst the applause, Leonor glanced at the princess sadly.

 “Oh, my job was taken away.”

However, he still strode up to the people and said solemnly: "My lords, the princess and the prince have arrived. Please move to the throne hall, where the changing ceremony will be held."

 The exchange of reserves is a major event that rarely occurs, and naturally it cannot be done with the consent of the old and new heirs.

 A solemn ceremony is indispensable.

 “Come on, my children.”

Viserys came to the two children and took one hand each.

Rhaenyra was keenly aware that her father looked at her with extremely loving eyes.

 “Good boy, everything you lose will be made up for.”

Viserys squeezed his daughter's hand and spoke firmly.

Rhaenyra proved with practical actions that she voluntarily gave up the crown prince and supported Rhaegar.

 She shows the unity of the dragon clan.

 Let the outside world have no way of peeking into it.

 Viserys was proud of her, and even more guilty of her.

Rhaenyra smiled softly, broke away from her father's big hand, pulled Rhaegar over to her, and said calmly: "Father, you'd better go with Her Majesty the Queen."

 Her father's hesitation and repetition broke her heart.

 The conditions proposed already guaranteed a worry-free life for the rest of her life, but the belated father's love made her a little resistant.

Now, she just wants to hold Rhaegar tightly and fulfill her vow.

 The reserve exchange ceremony begins.

 In the solemn throne hall, members of the royal family and nobles from all over the country gathered together.

 The then Archbishop of the Church of the Seven Gods made a declaration. Under the watchful eyes of the Seven Gods, the crown prince was changed from Rhaenyra to Rhaegar.

Rhaenyra took this opportunity to announce that she would no longer consider marrying outside, and would assist Rhaegar in his growth until he came of age.

 This disappointed many nobles who were eager to marry her.

Viserys did not expect Rhaenyra to say such words suddenly.

However, he did not object and nodded in agreement with a smile.

 He promised Rhaenyra that he would never interfere with her marriage.

 In his opinion, the dragon bloodlines will eventually be united, and Rhaenyra's marriage to another is just what he wants.

 After the interlude, Viserys placed his crown on Rhaegar's head with his own hands and accepted the oath of allegiance from the vassals.

Rhaegar looked around at the nobles present, raised an arm high, and listened calmly to the declaration.

The black robe is full of embellishments, which are the clan emblems of the guardians of various realms.

 From now on, he is the crown prince.

This scene happened to Rhaenyra before.

　　When Rhaegar put on the crown, Viserys was indescribably excited.

 This is the prince in his dream.

 The coronation is completed and the time has come to sunset.

 The nobles were invited to the banquet hall, where a sumptuous banquet had been prepared.

  Candlelight and bonfire illuminated the entire banquet hall, and long tables were filled with delicious food and wine.

Viserys sat at the head of the hall.

 Sit Rhaegar and Rhaenyra on the left, and Leonor, the Prime Minister, sits on the right.

 After the storage exchange ceremony, Allison went back to the room first on the grounds that Emond was crying.

 The nobles ate, drank and chatted at the banquet.

Viserys watched everything with a sense of accomplishment, and talked cordially with Leonor from time to time.

 He is so happy today.

 Joy must be shared. The only pity is that no one from the Velaryon family has come yet.

Obviously, Sea Snake Corliss promised to attend the reserve exchange meeting.

 “Rhaegar, try this.”

On the other side, Rhaenyra forked a piece of roast meat and put it to Rhaegar's mouth.

Rhaegar changed into a dress, sat back on the chair boredly, and accepted the feeding from his sister.

 He is adapting to his role as crown prince.

 Enjoying the service of the old crown prince is a good experience.

 Eating several pieces of barbecue one after another, Rhaegar was a little unable to bear it, so he took a big gulp of grape juice.

Rhaenyra teased: "The crown prince must pay attention to his image, Rhaegar."

“I haven't felt the rights that the crown prince brings to me, are the constraints imposed on me?”

Rhaegar joked: "Look at these adults, how many do you think are willing to listen to me?"

“How many people do you think were willing to obey my orders at that time?”

Rhaenyra asked self-deprecatingly.

Rhaegar raised the corners of his mouth and smiled without saying a word.

 The crown prince is just a prince, not a real king.

He still has a long way to go before becoming crown prince, and power has not yet tilted towards him.

 At this moment, the announcement at the door sounded.

The guests are Earl and Lady Hobert of the Hightower family in Oldtown.

Today, many nobles were covered in dust by two dragons one after another, and their clothes were a little messy, so they asked to return to their residences to change.

The members of the Hightower family walked slowly from the gate, led by the earl and countess.

 But one of them is more eye-catching.

 Otto Hightower.

 Father of Queen Allison.

Viserys's face did not change when he saw his old form, waiting for them to come and greet him.

Earl Hobert first offered his blessing, and then went to Otto Hightower to say hello.

Viserys took it calmly and showed no embarrassment at all in resigning his old minister.

Rhaegar was attracted to them.

 He ​​pulled the hem of Rhaenyra's skirt, pointed at Earl Hobert who was walking down the steps, and whispered: "Look at that idiot with the big nose."

 “Rhaegar!”

Rhaenyra quickly covered his mouth and warned him with her eyes to watch his words.

Rhaegar took her hand away and whispered into her ear: "That guy is Aegon's supporter, isn't he?"

He still remembered the scene when Lord Hobert shouted loudly to Prince Aegon during the hunt in the Kingswood.

 I didn't know who he was at the time.

　　Turns out to be the lord of Aegon's mother's house.

Rhaenyra lowered her voice: "You are the crown prince, and you will inherit and control Aegon. You don't need to care about a mere old town."

Rhaegar's status as the eldest son is far more powerful than her status as the eldest daughter.

Aegon, who originally had hope, could not get past Rhaegar regardless of his age or legal principles.

Rhaegar will sit on the Iron Throne.

Rhaegar glanced at Alto Hightower while chatting with Rhaenyra.

This man has served as the Prime Minister for two consecutive terms.

At this time, Viserys raised his glass and said, "Long time no see, Alto."

“I'm glad you're doing well and have chosen a good successor, Your Majesty.”

 Alto returned the gift respectfully, always maintaining an elegant appearance.

The two of them didn't talk much, and Alto followed his brother down the steps and entered the banquet.

While the Hightowers were sitting at the table, someone else wanted to propose a toast.

Two women were sitting around the dining table in the valley.

 One is the Duchess Jane, and the other is a mature woman dressed as an earl.

 “Your Majesty…”

As soon as the Countess stood up, another figure walked up to the steps first, holding a wine glass and speaking.

 “Congratulations, Your Majesty.”

“You have a brave and fearless prince as your heir, worthy of the blood of the true dragon.”

Chapter 5 today.

The protagonist becomes the crown prince, and after the banquet, he is about to grow older.
