Game of Thrones: I Became a Crown Prince For a Day Chapter 239

 Chapter 239 The most vicious abuse

 Time to get back on track.

 Riverrun.

 Dong dong dong…

 Amidst the sound of intensive drums, Lord Blackwood walked into the great hall of Riverrun.

 In the room above the hall.

Rhaegar sat in a high position, holding the side of his face with one hand and raising one leg.

 “Ah~”

Rhaenyra peeled the grapes and put them to his lips.

Rhaegar looked at her in surprise, opened his mouth and swallowed the grape pulp.

 There was silence in the hall.

 Below.

 Earl Blackwood's full name is Kells Blackwood.

However, the Blackwoods send greetings and a modest gift every year.

Each time you say something, press your fingers on the table with a little more force.

　　After pondering for a moment, Earl Blackwood took a deep breath and changed his greeting: "Your Royal Highness, I haven't seen you for a long time. May the old gods praise your beauty."

 And this is what he really means.

Lord Blackwood raised his head and saw the three Targaryen heirs.

Rhaenyra's earlobes turned red, she turned her head away in embarrassment and pulled back the ends of her hair.

People under the eaves have to bow their heads.

 Helena sat on her knees in front of the desk, fiddling with two stones.

quiet!

 A brief moment of silence.

Earl Blackwood frowned secretly, feeling the pressure.

Rhaegar tapped his fingers on the table and spoke for the first time: "My lord, your family started a private war with the Bracken family, refused royal mediation, resisted Lord Glover Tully's order, and even went to war with the Riverrun army. ”

Rhaenyra rolled her eyes and sat back down.

He lowered his head respectfully, but glanced up into the hall.

 Hurry up and get the topic on the right track and find out whether it is a blessing or a curse.

This is not a negotiation, but to convict him.

  Rhaenyra is a bit attentive today.

Rhaegar raised his voice and shouted: "But you disobeyed the king's order, attacked the lord, and were good at deploying troops to station outside the city of Riverrun!"

 After receiving the response, Kelce's frown eased, and he took the initiative and said: "Princess, the messenger from Riverrun invited me to come to negotiate. Do you have any advice?"

 “Stone, bang…”

 Finally, Rhaegar stopped typing and his voice turned cold: "My lord, can I understand that you and your family are rebelling?"

Rhaegar smiled, peeled a grape and ate it.

  In 111 AC, after the Reserve Exchange Conference, the relationship between the two parties gradually became estranged.

Especially the jet-black glutton, which stands dozens of meters high on two legs and is comparable to a small fortress.

 Occasionally I heard Helena's murmuring childish voice.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he bowed to himself: "The Blackwood family greets you, Your Highness!"

 Swallowed, Kelce said in a deep voice: "No! The Blackwood family is loyal to the rule of Targaryen and has no second intention."

Kyles's heart was beating fast, and he faintly regretted coming to negotiate.

 The disarmament was too thorough.

Rhaenyra put her forehead with one hand, glared at him, and replied solemnly: "May the old gods forgive you for your sins, Lord Kells."

 It can be regarded as another way to win over Rhaegar and maintain the relationship.

 She glanced at Rhaegar quietly and found that he was still looking at her.

 Speaking of which, the Blackwood family had been her staunch supporters.

Rhaenyra stopped talking and remained silent.

 Before entering Riverrun, he saw three dragons with his own eyes.

This kind of extraordinary magical creature is definitely not something that humans can fight against.

Rhaegar looked at Rhaenyra upon hearing this and raised the corners of his mouth.

 Looking over Robb and Elmon, he thought that this was far from the ideal meeting.

Each crisp sound was like a drum beating in the heart of Earl Kells.

Kyles knelt down directly and lowered his head: "Prince, I gave the order at once, and the entire responsibility lies with me."

He could come to Riverrun to keep the appointment, but he never thought about escaping unscathed.

 Having disgraced the royal family and the Tully family, there must be a price to pay.

Rhaegar looked down at him, his expression indifferent.

　　Confession is quick and slippery.

“Rhaegar, to attack House Bracken, we need the troops of House Blackwood.”

Rhaenyra leaned into her ear and whispered advice.

 Speaking, he handed over a piece of letter paper that was clenched in his hand.

Rhaegar curled his lips, and his stern expression softened.

He has seen the letter. It is a raven message from the Bracken family.

 The letter describes the Bracken family's refusal to admit guilt and their stubborn resistance.

 This is a family that has to endure blood and fire.

Following the persuasion, Rhaegar stood up, walked to the edge of the room, and said coldly: "Earl of Kells, you will return to King's Landing alone to confess your sins. Your eldest son will inherit your title and lead the army to atone for your sins."

He did not want to interfere too much with the nobles who took the initiative to plead guilty.

 Father and the council will pronounce Kells' guilt.

 Samwell Blackwood was a nice young man and had expressed his loyalty to him.

  Can be a sharp sword.

Kyles slowly closed his eyes and said solemnly: "Yes, Prince!"

  He had anticipated his own fate and the loss of his family.

  But it's worth it.

 At least the family was saved.

Besides, the Bracken family, which has been feuding for generations, is about to come to an end.

Kyles got up with trembling legs and walked out of the hall lonely with his back.

Robb couldn't bear it and lowered his head.

On the way here, he revealed the prince's views on the two families.

The Blackwood family must surrender as soon as possible, otherwise it will not end well.

 “Robb.”

Rhaegar looked at him.

Robb raised his head and said loudly: "Prince, what are your orders?"

“Take the brothers from the Second Regiment and mobilize the army under the command of Samwell to rush to Stonehedge City!”

Rhaegar has a clear mind and has already made plans.

 “Yes, Prince.”

Robb was ordered to retire.

Rhaegar looked at Elmon again and said: "Gather a thousand soldiers and block the retreat of the Red Fork River."

Almon did not dare to refuse and quickly retreated.

 He has just returned to Riverrun, and he has been going back and forth non-stop.

 It's time to set off in a blink of an eye, it's really tiring.

Rhaegar paid no attention to how hard they were working.

 They are all for their respective families.

“Rhaegar, should we go back to Harrenhal and discuss countermeasures with Lord Leonor first?”

Rhaenyra stepped forward and asked softly.

 House Blackwood has a total army of two thousand men, and Riverrun can barely scrape together a thousand men.

Both parties set off at the same time, and it took about a day and a night to reach Shili City.

“No need, I'm still resting in Riverrun tonight.”

Rhaegar refused directly, turned around and smiled: "Lord Leonor is loyal to a benevolent king, and his methods will be merciful."

   “I have my own ideas!”     Click—

There was a crisp sound, Helena was stunned on the spot, and the two stones in her hand were knocked into pieces.

Muttered blankly: "It's broken."

Rhaegar looked at her curiously, took her hand with a smile, and rubbed her little head.

 Helena looked at a loss and let her big hands tangle her slightly curly silver hair.

 “Forget it, I'll ignore you.”

 Rhaenyra couldn't see the brother and sister getting close, so she gave Rhaegar a look and strode away.

Rhaegar smiled and said nothing, ignoring the meaning in his eyes.

A bachelor once said: When a person is young, the most important thing is to keep oneself.

 A day and night passed.

 Shili City.

A castle located south of the Red Fork and Bent Kneestack, between Noble Heart and Acorn Hall, and east of Riverrun.

 The castle is built on a hillside, with a continuous ridge to the south, forming a natural barrier.

The Blackwood family's army crossed the ridge and stationed themselves five miles due south of Stonehedge City.

Riverrun's army arrived at the Red Fork River first, blocking Stonehedge's possibility of evacuating north.

The army approaches the city, but Shili City stands tall and motionless.

 The city gates were closed and lifeless.

Rhaegar soared in on a glutton, his black robes fluttering in the wind.

 After the attack on the Three Women's Kingdom, he became a little fond of loose black robes.

 Agility in action, strong and resistant to dirt.

There may be a big battle today, Rhaegar put on the black robe in advance.

Boom—

 The Glutton landed on the muddy ground, splashing mud everywhere.

As soon as Rhaegar got off the dragon's back, Samwell hurried forward.

He said respectfully: "Prince, Amos Bracken of Shili City cannot avoid the battle. Do you want to attack by force?"

Rhaegar laughed and said: "Amos was so tight in his letter that he actually planned to defend the castle."

 Half of the pen and ink on the letter paper is denounced the injustice of the kingdom.

 The other half is cursing the Blackwood family.

With no intention of admitting his mistake, he wanted to start a war immediately.

Robb walked up from the side and said seriously: "Prince, Earl Amos forced many civilians to enter Stonehedge City, and it seems that he wants you to be intimidated."

 “Disgusting trick.”

Rhaegar cursed and said in a deep voice: "Send someone to deliver a message to Shili City and ask Amos to talk to me at the city gate."

 Whether the conversation has any effect or not.

 The procedures that should be in place still need to be in place.

After the dragon flames burned the city, public opinion would also say that it was a last resort.

"Yes, prince," Robb replied.

 Send an illegitimate son of a knightly family loyal to the Bracken family to do this.

  Long time.

 The illegitimate son returns and delivers the news that Amos agrees to talk.

  But there are two requirements.

 Only talk under the gates at the city gate, and you can only bring one dragon with you.

 In this way, you can hide in the city at any time.

 “Hiss…”

Rhaegar looked above his head. Syrax and Dreamfire were hovering in the sky, their vertical pupils staring at Stone Fence City.

 “No problem, I'll go meet him.”

Rhaegar smiled and called Robb and several guards.

Arrived at the gate of Shili City.

Amos Bracken with a gloomy face stood under the door stack, surrounded by a large group of soldiers.

Rhaegar came slowly and walked onto the drawbridge with a smile.

Beside the bridge, the glutton stopped and stood, his green vertical pupils glowing with a terrifying cold light.

Robb followed with his sword and announced loudly: "What you see is Rhaegar Targaryen, the eldest son of Viserys I, the Breaker of Shackles, the Maker of Ruins, and the Heir to the Iron Throne!"

 Faced with rebellious ministers and traitors, he believed it was necessary to intimidate.

Sure enough, Amos was stunned for a moment, understanding a series of titles.

Rhaegar's face was calm and he had already accepted it.

In addition to identity, the other two titles are the titles passed down from Essos after the burning of the Three Women's Kingdom.

 A complimentary meaning and a derogatory meaning.

The distance between the two sides was less than five meters. Rhaegar scolded: "Amos, release the civilians in the city, and you will leave a whole corpse."

Amos gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist tightly and said confidently: "Prince, if you retreat now, the King of Light will forgive your sins."

Rhaegar was stunned when he heard this and asked suspiciously: "Has the Bracken family changed their faith?"

 Some princes in the Riverlands believe in both the old and new gods.

Such as Blackwood, Bracken, Tully…

These ethnic emblems have images of animals, and most of them are descendants of ancestors.

Amos raised his chin and said proudly: "I have the protection of the King of Light, and the gods give me strength."

  Pulled out the long sword and pointed it at the glutton on the other side of the bridge, quite wantonly: "Targaryen comes from fire, and the Lord of Light also gave me fire."

 “Just by wildfire?”

Rhaegar frowned, wondering if the other person was really as stupid as he looked.

"wrong!"

Amos roared, as if he was stimulated, and shouted: "Wildfire is just a product of alchemy, I have the help of the Lord of Light."

 How stupid!

Rhaegar judged that he had lost interest in communication and issued a warning: "Release the civilians in the city, otherwise Stonewall City will be reduced to ruins."

“Impossible, I am their lord, they must live or die with me!”

Amos was a little crazy, pointing his sword at Rhaegar, with disgust in his eyes: "The Targaryen's evil seed, the product of sin."

As soon as these words came out, Lei Jia's face suddenly turned gloomy, and the evil spirit overflowed from his eyes.

At this moment, even Robb was frozen in place.

He roared in his heart: How dare he say such a thing!

Rhaegar was angered, and Amos laughed wildly: "You are covered in mud, and the king will arrange for you to accept the tradition and breed more sinful products."

 The glutton roared angrily, stretched out its thick neck, and the dragon's head looked down at the city gate at one end of the drawbridge.

Green vertical pupils brewed with a cruel and fierce light, locking firmly on the foul-smelling Amos.

 He felt the wrath of the driver.

It was a volcanic heavy hot flame, accumulated in the violently rising and falling chest.

 Waiting for the moment of gushing and erupting.

 A vicious humiliation that deeply touched Rhaegar's heartstrings.

 The Targaryen tradition goes back to ancient times.

 This is the point that is most criticized by the world.

　　After the brutal Maegor slaughtered the Order of the Seven and King Jaehaerys I reached reconciliation.

No one on the continent dares to mock or belittle Targaryen in this way.

 Evil words come and reveal the truth.

Rega's purple pupils turned scarlet, with a faint wisp of flame jumping.

There is only one thought in my mind.

 He followed his heart and said in a hoarse voice: "Dragon Flame!"
