Game of Thrones: I Became a Crown Prince For a Day Chapter 205

Chapter 205 Dorne's request for marriage

Rhaenys was stunned for a moment, her face showed disappointment, and she sighed: "Go back to the camp and talk."

 She doesn't think there is any strategy that can turn the situation around.

 As long as the kingdom's support will be delayed for some time.

Rhaegar understood what his aunt was thinking, but since people have so many eyesight, he didn't explain too much.

On the way, Rhaenys talked about the defeat.

Tai Lan and others were surrounded by pirates from the Three Women's Kingdom and suffered heavy casualties.

Sea Serpent led his troops to ask for help, but was dragged down instead.

 The enemy prepared hundreds of scorpion crossbows on the ship and on the shore, restricting Melias and Haiyan from using their full strength.

 During the battle, the sea snake was besieged and was covered with wounds.

Rhaegar said coldly: "My father asked you to command the king and lead the army. You were born as a soldier and served as the commander of the Kingsguard, but you broke the law and killed thousands of soldiers."

 “Prince…prince…”

“What do we need to do? Why can't a large group of us just wait?”

That is the crest of the Redwin family of the Arbor.

Looking at Westeros, only House Velaryon and House Celtigar have greater maritime power than House Redwyne.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at each other.

Spike frowned and asked rigorously.

 Enter the simple temporary meeting camp, where the commanders from all regions were present.

 A solemn middle-aged man spoke. His breastplate was engraved with a hanging dark purple grape on a blue background.

 Lagnir and Aegon are not here.

Rhaegar came to the table, did not sit down, and spoke directly: "My lords, in this Stone Step Islands War, we have been at a disadvantage, and we must regain our strength."

 Spike Redwin asked in confusion.

Rhaegar attached great importance to this person and said: "Based on the situation at this moment, I have initially formulated a strategy, and I have full authority to make the arrangements."

Commanders from various places have different expressions and greet each other with greetings.

Rhaegar walked around him and walked towards the conference table.

"As long as you know."

 “Significant matters must be followed, your lords, there is no need to be too polite.”

 “Just take care of yourself.”

Col's voice was harsh and he lowered his head in despair.

They were all acquaintances. Rega was not polite and glanced at these people one by one.

 “Now is not the time to speak out.”

Rhaegar said nothing and explained: "The feasibility of the plan is to let nature take its course and wait patiently."

Seeing the majestic Rega walking into the tent, everyone stood up and stared at him closely.

 The sea snake was seriously injured and unconscious, and Tailan was imprisoned.

  “What is it?”

His not only committed a crime.

Cole quickly walked up to him and knelt down straight on the ground.

Also stained the white robe on the back.

 “What do you have in mind, Prince?”

The Arbor Island has the strongest fleet in the Reach.

  Lost the honor and dignity of being a member of the Kingsguard.

Rhaegar pondered for a while and said, "I need a bait."

Rhaenys followed his footsteps and glanced at Cole coldly, with great disdain.

Under Rhaegar's cold gaze, he said in despair: "Prince, my sin is unforgivable and I am no longer worthy of wearing a white robe."

 A Kingsguard who cannot keep his oath is indeed not worthy of silver armor and white robes.

 Including Weimund with one arm hanging, and Cole in ordinary armor.

"After being escorted back to King's Landing, I will take the initiative to plead guilty and pay for my sins."

 He is still lying unconscious in the tent with a high fever.

 The two of them are responsible for patrolling on dragons to prevent sneak attacks from the Three Women Kingdom.

 The army has long been demoralized and is in urgent need of a man of sufficient weight to lead it.

 Finally, Bartimus of the Celtica family spoke: "Prince, what are the conditions for a bait?"

 House Celtigar is the Targaryen family with the longest history of loyalty besides House Velaryon.

At the beginning of the Stone Step Islands War, Bartimus led troops to help.

Rhaegar replied: "Since it is bait, will it be eaten at any time?"

"Well…"

Bartimus was startled when he heard this and could not speak.

 The battle has reached this point, and every family has suffered heavy casualties.

 As a bait, I am afraid that the entire fleet brought out will be damaged.

Cole, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised his head and shouted: "I'll go! I'll be the bait!"

Rhaegar turned to look at him without saying a word.

 “Let me go, prince.”

Cole trembled all over and said excitedly: "I don't want to be hanged or sent to the Great Wall. Please let me atone for my sins, do my last bit for the kingdom, and die on the battlefield!"

 He also had hopes for the glory of the Kingsguard.

 He did not want to die in embarrassment. Death in battle was worthy of a knight's life.

Rhaegar studied him, thinking.

Bartimos's green pupils flashed, he came close to Rhaegar's ear and whispered: "Prince, why not give Sir Criston a chance?"

 It is better to use someone who is not afraid of death as bait than to choose among a group of them.

Hearing this, Rhaegar glanced at Bartimus and sneered: "Okay, leave this task to Cole!"

 At this point, the negotiation is almost over.

Rhaegar said no more and listened to the analysis of the battle situation from those present.

This battle on the Stone Step Islands was so ups and downs that it tugged everyone's heart.

 King's Landing, Red Keep.

 In the throne room, all the ministers of the Royal Council are here.

Viserys wears a golden crown and sits on the Iron Throne.    "Sethor Dayne of Starfall City, the envoy of the Prince of Dorne."

The door opened wide, and the Kingsguard announced the identity of the visitor.

 A tall young man with black hair and dark skin wearing a yellow robe walked into the hall.

 He is the messenger from Dorne.

 Originally it was planned to be hosted by Rhaegar, but now it was Viserys himself who came forward.

Leonor stood under Viserys and said in a deep voice: "You are standing here, King Viserys I of the Targaryen family, king of the Andals, Rhoynar and the First Men, ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and In front of the whole territory guard."

  This is a prefix unique to the King of the Seven Kingdoms.

 Settle Dane was startled by so many prefixes, and his solemn face changed.

Walked to the center of the hall, looked at Viserys, and bowed: "Prince Keoron Martell sends you my sincere greetings, Your Majesty of the Seven Kingdoms."

“Discourteous! When you meet His Majesty, you should kneel down and bow!”

 Leonor's expression changed and he scolded him with great force.

Settl narrowed his eyes slightly and frowned: "The Dornish people never kneel."

　　　“Presumptuous!”

Leonnuo He shouted loudly and continued to make things difficult.

Viserys waved his hand to signal him to calm down, and said: "Messenger of Dorne, why are you here?"

 Leonor glanced at him and closed his mouth.

His original intention was to show off his power and kill the envoy of Dorne.

 There is also aversion to it.

 The Targaryen dynasty and Dorne went through several wars that disrupted Westeros for a hundred years.

 Many nobles died at the hands of the Dornishmen.

 Especially in the Reach and the Stormlands.

 As the Prime Minister, Leonor naturally did not like many benefactors.

Hearing Viserys's inquiry, Settle adjusted his facial expression and said solemnly: "Prince Keoron is tired of war and wants to fight for peace through communication."

“Oh, Ke Olun has repeatedly supported the Three Women's Kingdom's invasion of the Stepstone Islands. At this time, he understands the value of peace!?”

Viserys lowered his face and asked loudly.

　　In the last battle of the Stepstone Islands, Keoron led an army to resist the combined forces of Daemon and Corliss.

This time on the Stepstone Islands, although Keoron did not show up, Dornish soldiers did appear on the battlefield.

 Halfway through the war, Keolun asked for peace.

　　　Why don't you take the Targaryen dynasty seriously?

Even with evil intentions.

Settle said: "Your Majesty, war will only bring harm to each other. Prince Keolen is sincere, otherwise I would not take the risk to come."

 At this time, the relationship between the Targaryen dynasty and Dorne is on fire and water.

When the Dornish people enter the royal territory, the local people will reject and besiege them.

 The news of the Dornish messengers did not spread.

 Otherwise, a large number of vassals would remonstrate and execute the so-called envoys.

Hearing this, Viserys asked: "The Iron Throne has always been about peace. Has Keorun decided to withdraw its troops?"

 “Yes, Prince Keolen has this intention.”

Settl acknowledged it directly and said: "Your Majesty, in order to ensure long-term peace between the two parties, the prince has a request."

"Peace was proposed by Dorne, how can you have the face to propose conditions to His Majesty on the Iron Throne?"

 Leonor stood up to object and his words were sharp.

Dorn's request for peace is simply a sinister intention.

If Your Majesty agrees for the sake of peace, the other party will definitely open his mouth and make unreasonable demands.

 It turns out that Leonor knows Viserys very well.

After he and Setel argued, Viserys interrupted.

Impatiently said: "What do you want from Keolun?"

From Viserys's point of view, the current war situation is unfavorable, and there is no problem in exchanging peace with reasonable conditions.

 Settle glanced at Leonor proudly and said: "Prince Keolen's princess has been dead for many years, and she wants to marry a Targaryen princess, and the two parties will form a marriage."

 “Don't even think about it!”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately objected severely.

Viserys turned his head and saw Rhaenyra's face was cold.

 There are more than just ministers in the hall.

 Rhaenyra, Allison, and Jeyne are also there.

The three of them are of noble status, the princess and queen of Dragonstone Island, the Duke of the Eagle's Nest...

 Fully qualified to participate in the meeting with the Dornish envoy.

At this time, Allison also looked bad and was picking his fingers secretly.

Settel, who was scolded, looked at Rhaenyra calmly, bowed and asked: "Is this silver-haired lady the princess?"

 “That's right.”

Rhaenyra was wearing a black dress and said proudly: "I am the eldest princess of Viserys I, the princess of Dragonstone. On behalf of the kingdom, I reject Dorne's marriage request."

Settl frowned slightly and asked Viserys: "Your Majesty, may your daughter make a decision on behalf of the king?"

Viserys ignored him and met Rhaenyra's complicated gaze.

 He promised Rhaenyra not to interfere with her marriage.

　　Hesitating for a moment, Viserys organized his words: "She is my daughter, I respect her opinion, and she will not engage in any marriage."

 No matter what, he would not use Rhaenyra for marriage.

 He remembered the agreement.

 Also knows the eldest son's thoughts.

If Rhaenyla were to be married off, Rhaegar would be in trouble when he returned to King's Landing.

Saitel heard the words and thought about it, and heard the implication.

He asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, you should have two daughters?"

 “Viserys!”

This time it was Allison's turn to get excited and exclaim.

 Another daughter, of course her daughter.

 “Calm down, Alisson!”

Faced with his wife's nervous expression, Viserys calmed her down in a good-natured way.
