Game of Thrones: I Became a Crown Prince For a Day Chapter 210

Chapter 210 Tailan's allegiance

Leaving the top cabin, Rhaegar walked to the cargo hold below the deck.

Walking in the narrow corridor, you can hear the painful wails of wounded soldiers.

 The Battle of Bloodstone Island ended, and the Three Women's Kingdom suffered heavy losses.

 He plans to return to King's Landing to deal with the Dornish envoys.

 Deploy another group of soldiers to strengthen the garrison of the Stone Step Islands.

 The Three Women's Kingdom was so defeated that they had only two choices.

 The three free trade city-states fought among themselves for their own interests, and the Stepstone Islands War ended.

Perhaps, the Three Women Kingdom misplaced the target of the spear and launched a desperate counterattack.

 No matter what, the Stepped Islands must strengthen their troops.

 Completely incorporated into the territory of the Targaryen dynasty to eliminate future troubles.

Tailan opened his mouth, his dry throat stinging, and he swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva to soak it.

 The best outcome is to put on a black robe and head to the Great Wall.

Snapped-

Rhaegar looked at Tailan with complicated eyes.

　　While speaking, he lowered his eyes, looking faceless and reserved.

Rhaegar looked down at Tyran, his voice loud and powerful.

 He is Tyran Lannister.

 “King…prince…”

 There are no windows or vents, it is dark and dirty.

 The cabin door opened, and the smell of dust and alcohol hit our face.

Rhaegar held his breath and opened the door to disperse the smell.

 After coughing for a while, he said, "Prince, why do you condescend to come to see me?"

Rhaegar walked to the end of the corridor and opened a closed hatch.

 A scruffy man with blond curly hair sat on the edge of the wooden bed.

 I still remember the first time I met him.

Rhaegar slapped him in the face and yelled, "Brace yourself, it's not time to hang you yet."

 What's more, it's deep self-doubt.

Looking at his humble look, Rega frowned slightly: "Want to live or die?"

 A rough wooden bed was placed against one wall.

At that time, he had brightly styled blond curly hair and was extremely handsome.

His hair was messy, and his clothes stained with blood had not been changed. They were smelly and dirty.

Tai Lan was stunned for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Who would want to die if they could live?"

 “Lift your head and look at me!”

The dirty man turned a deaf ear and stared at the stained floor with dull eyes.

Now…

At this moment, Tailan fell into a mental state of internal conflict. His originally handsome face was only numb, and his whole body exuded an aura of decadence.

　　Back to King's Landing, what awaits him will be dismissal and trial.

Rhaegar looked at him and said, "Taylan, is there anything you want to say?"

 He mobilized his troops privately and destroyed a good hand of cards.

 Because of his one thought, thousands of troops perished in the sea.

  Feeling guilty, self-blame…

 The sinners of the Battle of Bloodstone Island.

As far as the eye can see, the cabin is extremely narrow, no more than the width of a person's arm.

 The smell in the cabin was almost gone, and Rhaegar walked in.

Lega said lightly: "Very good, it seems it hasn't been destroyed yet."

Tailan's body trembled and she raised her head blankly.

The Bloodstone Island defense line, which was originally in a stable situation, was captured.

Tai Lan was also admonishing his father about the war on the Stepped Islands.

 He survived under the protection of the soldiers, but his heart fell silent that night.

The pain restored some of Tailan's consciousness, and a glimmer of light appeared in his dull eyes as he recognized the identity of the person in front of him.

Crunch—

Rhaegar pulled out the dragon's claw, put the tip of the sword against his throat, and said calmly: "If you want to die, hit the tip of the sword yourself. I will treat you as committing suicide out of fear of crime."

The words changed and he scolded: "If you want to live, show some of your old demeanor and don't look like a resentful woman."

Tai Lan glanced down at the cold sword blade, and a chill hit her heart.

 He is still afraid of death.

“Prince, I have lost my qualifications as a royal minister, and my value is no more than before.”

Tai Lan shrank back and said expectantly: "But if you plead with His Majesty, I may not be able to stay in King's Landing."

  Don't look at the embarrassing way he had fallen for himself before.

 That means he has lost hope for the future.

 He is not yet thirty years old and has not yet married or had children.

If you can live well, of course you don't want to die.

Rhaegar raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you doing in King's Landing? Who can tolerate you?"

Taylan was responsible for the defeat at the Battle of Bloodstone Island.

Even if he escapes death, he will be unable to move forward in King's Landing.

The two brothers of this generation of the Lannister family are quite hateful.

 Brother Jason Lannister is arrogant and arrogant.

 Brother Tyran Lannister is favored but jealous.

Tailan's eyes flashed with confusion when he heard this, and he didn't know why he said: "If I don't stay in King's Landing, where should I go?"

You can't go back to Casterly Rock, right?

That was his brother's territory and he had no role to play.

 “To the Stormland, my prince's palace!”

Rhaegar retracted his dragon claw and calculated: "The prince's palace is being built. You go there to supervise the construction, and at the same time win over Highgarden and Blackport."

Tailan hesitated for a moment and said in shock: "The kingdom is going to war with Dorne?"

Rhaegar's royal palace is located in the Stormlands, north of Blackhaven.

There is a steep mountain road leading to Dorne - the Bone Road.

Sent him to the prince's palace to win over the Tyrells of Highgarden and the Dondarrion family of Darkport.

 Humistically, this is a prelude to war with Dorne.

Rhaegar sighed: "It's smart, just a little bit." "But it's still unclear whether there will be a war, so there's nothing wrong with strengthening defenses."

 It has to be said that Tai Lan is indeed a smart man who has been the imperial minister for many years.

You can see the signs of something if you just pay a little attention.

Tailan rubbed his face, smoothed his messy hair, and said solemnly: "As long as you can save my life, I am willing to go to the prince's palace to prepare you for the war."

 He may not fight.

  However, calculating losses and allocating resources is still very professional.

Seeing that he was so successful, Rega was in a good mood and said seriously: "Behave well, and you will be useful in the future."

Tailan is not an ordinary person, he is a genuine imperial minister.

 Such an existence is a political resource in your hands.

It would be a pity to let him be hanged or escorted to the Great Wall.

 “Yes, Prince!”

Taylan nodded vigorously, regaining his desire for the future.

 After the conversation, Rhaegar walked away without looking back.

 The cabin was so smelly that he couldn't stand it.

 At the same time, King's Landing.

Red Fort, Parliament Hall.

Viserys sat at the head of the table, with Leonor and Otto sitting on either side.

In the middle of the hall, the Dornish envoy Setel Dayne stood upright and said respectfully: "Your Majesty of the Seven Kingdoms, what are your thoughts on the marriage?"

 A few days later, he came to urge the marriage.

Viserys glanced at the two ministers on the left and right, and hesitated: "The matter is very important, I have to think about it for a while."

 “I don't know how long the specific time is?”

 Settl asked.

 “Watch your attitude, messenger of Dorne!”

Leonor looked bad and started to teach him a lesson.

 The king's majesty cannot be violated, and as the chief royal officer, he must speak out to uphold it.

Settle was not afraid at all and said calmly: "This is just a normal request. Is the Prime Minister too excited?"

“The matter of marriage is of great importance. How can it be decided in a day or two?”

Leonor said dissatisfied: "When the king makes a decision, he will naturally inform you."

Otto spoke at the right time: "Envoy of Dorne, please wait patiently. Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch who desires peace."

Hearing this, Leonor glanced sideways at him, his fat face becoming serious.

 The marriage has not yet been decided, so Otto should not give out a signal of intention.

Viserys knocked on the table and said, "Okay, that's it for today. The Dornish envoys should leave."

 He did not want to argue too much on this matter.

 Because he hasn't made up his mind yet.

He has been extremely troubled by this matter for the past two days.

 Allison had been quarreling with him and disagreed with Helena's marriage.

Rhaenyra avoided him and was resistant to the idea of ​​marriage.

 The wife and daughter are so repelled by this matter.

 He is determined to enter into a marriage, but cannot make a decisive decision.

 Still want to hear more opinions.

 As the king spoke, Setel did not dare to make any mistakes and turned around and walked out of the hall.

As soon as he left, Leonor immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, the Dornish people are ambitious and participated in the Battle of the Stepstone Islands not long ago. It is not a good idea to marry them."

 He is a staunch hawk.

 The feud between Dorne and the kingdom has been enmity for generations, and it cannot be resolved by a marriage.

Otto lowered his head and said calmly: "You can't say that. The front line is tight. If we can form an alliance with Dorne through marriage, we will not only lose a big enemy, but we can also ask Prince Keolen to counterattack the Three Women's Kingdom."

“In the two consecutive Stone Step Islands Wars, Koolun has attacked the kingdom. How can we put our hope in him?”

 Leonor's fat body trembled with anger and he retorted loudly.

  "The situation in the battle ahead has reversed, and the kingdom's army has been defeated. Keolun's request for marriage at this time is not an opportunity to change the situation."

 Otto had his own way of saying things.

 Leonor stood up and glared angrily.

If it weren't for His Majesty's presence, he would have really wanted to roll up his sleeves and punch Otto's head into his butt.

 What kind of stupid things are you saying?

 The defeat was caused by many benefactors.

Keolun's request for marriage now is simply taking advantage of others' danger.

If the kingdom agrees, it will probably be a huge loss of popularity and loss of face.

 “Okay, don't be so excited!”

Seeing that the two ministers were about to compete, Viserys quickly stopped, feeling quite troubled.

 Otto took out a letter from his arms and changed the subject: "Your Majesty, this is a letter from the Stepped Islands. Please read it."

Viserys glanced at him, took the letter, opened it and read it.

Letters delivered by ravens should be delivered to him by Grand Maester Melos.

However, Melos is old and letters are often delivered by others.

Otto was a member of House Hightower of Oldtown.

Melos is a great maester from Oldtown.

 The two have a personal friendship.

Viserys read the letter silently, his expression became more and more exciting as he read it, and his eyebrows gradually became elated.

“Your Majesty, there is good news ahead?”

 Looking at His Majesty's cheerful appearance, Leonor's spirits brightened.

 “Hahaha, good news, great good news.”

Viserys laughed loudly, handed the letter to Leonor, and said excitedly: "Look at my son, he designed to seduce the main pirates of the Three Women Kingdom out of Bloodstone Island, and the four dragons were burned completely."

Leonor scanned the letter at a glance, his eyes widening.

 “Great, we have retaken Bloodstone Island, and the vitality of the three women's countries has been greatly damaged!”

Leonault slapped the letter in front of Otto and raised his chin high.

 “Rhaegar turned the tide, he was a genius Targaryen!”

 Viserys's face turned red, and he felt quite proud.

The last time there was a Targaryen who could conquer and fight well, it was his incompetent brother Daemon.
