Game of Thrones: I Became a Crown Prince For a Day Chapter 217

Chapter 217 Aegon's Resistance

 half a month later.

 King's Landing, the old city gate.

Rhaegar stood at the city gate, watching a carriage drive away.

 The carriage was followed by a group of well-equipped guards.

 “Alas, the riverlands are in constant chaos, and mediation is of little use!”

Rhaegar sighed lightly, turned and left.

 The person riding in the carriage was Prime Minister Leonor Strong.

The stalemate between Blackwood and the Brackens continues and intensifies.

 Several armed fights involving more than a thousand people broke out in succession, affecting the tranquility of half of the Riverlands.

 Old Tully of Riverrun could not bear the pressure and once again asked the royal family for mediation.

The Huanlong people usually put a shackle on one of its hind legs to prevent it from flying around and spitting fire.

Hearing the sound, Janey turned around and smiled happily: "Rhaega, this baby dragon is very cute."

 “Hiss…”

 It's the height of summer in July, and the feces and urine are roasted at high temperatures, so the taste is particularly strong.

Rhaegar's facial features were sensitive and he couldn't breathe due to the smell, so he passed by quickly.

 The Dragon's Lair was built on the hills of Rhaenys.

Viserys had no choice but to send Leonor away.

　　With a smile on her face, Jenny wanted to touch the baby dragon, but she couldn't catch it.

Rhaegar's mind changed and he guessed that Otto was being hindered from implementing his policies.

Looking up, he saw Jenny holding the baby dragon Blizzard.

Since it was still too small, it flew unsteadily onto Rhaegar's shoulder.

 “Yeah, it's really surprising.”

 With a few glances, he noticed the differences on the street.

With a murmur, Rega quickly left Silk Street.

Blizzard is a young dragon with a bad temper.

"hold on…"

Rhaegar spoke in confusion, his eyes wandering around the person and the dragon.

Silk Street is the most prosperous downtown in King's Landing, bustling with people.

Seeing Rhaegar appear, Blizzard neighed and flapped his wings away from Janey.

Other than Rhaegar, Rhaenyra couldn't even get close.

 He is going to the dragon's lair.

As soon as the front foot left, the shouts of the golden robes came from behind.

 Inside the dragon's lair.

 At noon, the sun is hot.

Rhaegar finished handling the matter and walked downstairs.

Rhaegar walked alone through Silk Street.

 “Hiss…”

 Start from the Old City Gate leading to the Riverlands and pass through Silk Street.

Rhaegar came closer and said in surprise: "Blizzard does not reject you."

 “Jenny?”

 Jenny tilted her head and thought: "It's okay, it won't attack me, but I'm not allowed to touch it."

　Today I saw feces and urine everywhere in the streets and alleys.

Blizzard is still the size of a cat, with a bright silver body crawling all over Jenny, stretching out its small dragon head and neighing.

 The response was the people's curses, and it was a mess.

Rhaegar walked the streets of King's Landing.

“It is forbidden to excret dirt on the street, and violators will be punished with heavy fines!”

Walking on the street, the stench hits my face.

 In the past, Silk Street was smelly, but at least the street was still clean.

　　He stretched out his head and rubbed Rhaegar's cheek, and stepped on it happily with his hind feet.

Rhaegar patted Blizzard on the head and smiled at Jenny: "The little guy is very picky and a bit dangerous."

This is what it says.

Jenny is not a Targaryen, and it is indeed rare to be exposed to Blizzard.

　　The Targaryen and Arryn families have been married for generations.

Rhaegar's maternal grandmother was Daena Targaryen, the eighth child of her great-grandfather Jaehaerys.

  Danella Targaryen married the then Lord Rodrik Arryn.

 The two gave birth to a daughter, Emma Ayling.

 Shortly after giving birth, Daniela died of puerperal fever at the age of 18.

 Emma Arryn married Viserys and gave birth to Rhaenyra and Rhaegar.

  Died from dystocia and died of caesarean section.

Rhaegar and Jeyne are cousins, but their blood relationship is shallow.

Grandfather Dondrik had a wife before marrying Daena Targaryen.

 The two gave birth to three children together.

His wife died young, and he married Daena Targaryen.

Jenny's father was Rhaegar's grandfather's eldest son from his first marriage.

 From this generation onwards, the blood lines of the two families separated.

 Jenny does not have the blood of the Dragon King in her body.

“Blizzard is a beautiful young dragon. I often come to see it.”

Jenny's eyes flickered, looking at the person she liked and the dragon.

Rhaegar avoided her eyes, a shiver running down his spine.

 “Prince, a message from the Stepstone Islands!”

 At this time.

Elic hurriedly came from outside the dragon's lair.

Rhaegar's thoughts suddenly cleared up and he asked, "What's going on?"

 For half a month, he rode the Glutton between King's Landing and the Stepstone Islands without making any mistakes.

Ilic handed over the unopened letter and said solemnly: "Three Women's Kingdom hired a group of mercenaries to invade Gray Gallows Island at night."

 The letter passed through the maester and the king, and reached Rhaegar.

Rhaegar read ten lines at a glance, scribbling.

 The kingdom still has more than 4,000 troops on the Stepstone Islands.

 The main defense is on Bloodstone Island.

Gray Gallows Island was loosely defended and was recaptured by the Three Women Kingdom again.

Aegon and Lanninor attacked on dragons, and the enemy troops hid in caves to avoid fighting.

 Send a letter asking how to deal with it.

Rhaegar slapped the letter on Ilic's chest and walked out without looking back: "I will go to Bloodstone Island first to find out the situation."

 Feel the momentum of his change.

Blizzard hurriedly jumped off his shoulders, flapped his wings and flew away.

 The door to the dragon's cave opened, and a roar as dull as a bell came from the depths of the cave.

Rhaegar strode outside the dragon's lair.

 The glutton rushed out of the crypt, streaking over Rhaegar's head like a black meteor.

Boom—

The dark body fell to the ground. Rhaegar quickly climbed up the ladder and rode the dragon across the Blackwater Bay.

Bloodstone Island.

On the vast sea, the dark dragon shadow flashed past and landed on a desert island strewn with gravel.

 “Cousin!”

"prince…"

Rhaegar stepped off the dragon's back.

 Led by Lannino, a group of commanders rushed up.

Rhaegar glanced around and went straight to the topic: "Gallows Island is lost. Are there any other developments in the Three Women's Kingdom?"

Lanino shook his head: "Not yet, I have been hiding in the cave and never come out."

 “Haha, this is trying to adopt the crab feeder's tactics.”

Rhaegar sneered, showing a dismissive attitude.

This tactic is not clever.

 But it is surprisingly useful during island wars.

Rhaegar has no other solution, but he must show confidence and stabilize the morale of the army.

 “Cousin, let's go to the big account first.”

Lanino said something and leaned into his ear: "Aegon has been in a very low mood recently, and the Manderly family in White Harbor also sent people to inquire."

 “The Mandalay family?”

Rhaegar frowned.

 Aegon didn't care.

This guy has always been lazy. He has been patrolling on a dragon all day long on Bloodstone Island. He must have died of boredom long ago.

The Mandalay family is the key.

This family occupies one of the five major ports in Westeros.

He is also one of the important vassals of Stark in the north.

At the beginning of the Stepstone Islands War, Lannino asked for help from the Mandalay family and brought back more than a dozen warships and more than 1,400 soldiers.

 In the Battle of Bloodstone Island, the heir of the Mandalay family conspired with Tailan and others.

 Died in the rebellion.

 “Let's go and have a look.”

Rhaegar knew that most of the people who came were not good.

 Enter the big tent.

Rhaegar saw three people with different expressions at a glance.

Aegon looked indignant, squatting in the corner and sulking.

 A half-white old man with a fat body and needle-like hair.

 The old man kept talking and his spit was flying everywhere.

Weimond, who had a dark face, sat opposite each other with a stiff face.

The sound of Rhaegar entering the tent attracted the attention of the three people.

Aegon's eyes lit up, and his face was filled with joy, but then it quickly faded away.

 He is going back to King's Landing.

Today I have to reason with my eldest brother Rhaegar.

 “Prince Rhaegar, you are finally here!”

 The fat old man stared straight at Rhaegar, approaching menacingly.

 “Sir Wilson, keep your distance!”

 Lanino stopped in front of him and put a hand on his chest.

This old thing is like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard.

Rhaegar bypassed the two of them, walked to the conference table and sat down with a golden sword, and asked: "Sir Wilson, what is the purpose of your coming here?"

 Lagnino introduced him to him on the way.

Wilson is the younger brother of the Earl of White Harbor and is seeking explanation for his dead nephew.

“Prince, my nephew died for his country, where is his murderer?”

Wilson's voice was particularly loud and he asked with bared teeth and claws.

 Look at her appearance, she looks like a scolding shrew in the countryside.

Rhaegar's expression changed, he slapped the table with one hand, and shouted: "Whoever sacrifices his life for the country is the murderer!"

Wilson didn't expect that his face would change as soon as he came up, and his voice would be somewhat restrained: "My nephew is dead..."

 “I know your nephew is dead!”

Rhaegar shouted loudly again and angrily said: "He went out to fight with others privately, which is tantamount to treason, and he deserved to die."

 Such a **** sacrifice for the country.

It will really put your face on the line.

Wilson's momentum weakened and he said: "But he died on the battlefield."

“Nonsense, if it weren't for the fact that he died in battle, do you think I would have easily offended him!”

Rhaegar was not polite: "Remember, his death was his own fault, without honor or murder."

 He saw clearly what the other party wanted.

 The heir to White Harbor is dead.

The three Tailan people who conspired together are living well.

 That's why I come to make things difficult.

Rhaegar refused to follow his example and called the guards at the tent door, scolding him: "Drag Sir Wilson out and drive him away from Bloodstone Island."

“Prince, I come on behalf of House Manderly of White Harbor.”

Wilson did not expect that the other party was so unkind, and his beard trembled with anger.

Rhaegar said coldly: "If you want to question me, call your brother. Targaryen will give him an explanation."

 “Now, get out of here!”

The guards were all members of the Second Sons, rushing to pledge their allegiance to Rhaegar.

Wruck Wilson's arms and hold his legs, and lift the pig like a pig.

 The storm ended in a hurry.

 All the commanders looked at it in stunned silence.

Rhaegar glanced sharply and said, "Let's get over the small episode and let's discuss the business!"

 “Yes, Prince…”

 The commanders woke up from a dream and hurriedly took their seats.

After months of fighting, Rhaegar's behavior became more decisive.

 He is the crown prince and acting commander of the navy.

 Under the whole world.

 Apart from his father Viserys, he is the most noble person.

 No one can yell at him.

 At night.

 The negotiation is over.

 Commanders have always believed that the strategy of encirclement rather than attack should be adopted.

 Sent patrol ships and dragons to surround Gray Gallows Island, cutting off logistical supplies.

 No matter how much food the pirates have, fresh water resources still need to be replenished.

 There are always times when you can't help it.

  Whenever troops are sent out, it is an opportunity for one's own side to attack.

 Get out of the big tent.

 The night is filled with stars.

 “Rhaega, I have something to talk to you about!”

Rhaegar walked in front, and Aegon's voice came from behind.
