Game of Thrones: I Became a Crown Prince For a Day Chapter 279

Chapter 279 Damon suddenly appears

“Sir, let me help you relax.”

With a serious face, Daniella knelt down by the bathtub and massaged her with her hands.

Rhaegar hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse the kindness and asked bluntly: "What is the fragrance on you?"

The fragrance of flowers can relieve headaches, and it most likely has the effect of replenishing mental energy.

 “Does it smell good?”

Daniela blinked her shining eyes and said honestly: "It's my homemade fragrance powder, made from a very beautiful orchid."

Rhaegar was thirsty for knowledge and immediately asked: "What kind of orchids and where can I pick them?"

 “The orchid seems to be called the Resurrection Orchid, and the name is quite deceiving.”

Daniella said the name of the flower, lowered her head silently, and whispered: "The orchid was a gift from a prostitute to my mother. My mother thought it was useless and gave it to me."

 As she said these words, she felt her face burning with a sense of shame.

 The water in the pool gradually swayed.

Rhaegar was stunned for a moment and quickly tried to move his position.

 In her heart, she complained about her grandmother and mother.

  Long time.

Daniella felt in her heart of hearts that she should sacrifice herself to be honored.

  Jenny's lessons learned from the past are still fresh in his mind.

Daniella smiled and massaged harder.

Rhaegar listened silently, his headache relieved a lot by the girl's massage and the fragrance of the flowers. He thought about it: "Bring the pollen later, and I will replenish you with a bag of gold coins."

Even if she is an illegitimate daughter, she does not want to be born in a brothel and live in that chaotic environment.

On the shore, Rhaegar was dressed in black and looked at the blue sea.

 At the port of the Lorne River, an exquisite three-masted sailboat docked, flying three red dragon flags.

Don't let others suffer, spend money to buy the remaining pollen.

Crushed it to make fragrant powder and put it in a powder box that my mother had discarded after use.

“Prince, we will handle the government affairs you left behind strictly.”

Daniella refused repeatedly: "My lord, you saved me, I can't accept your money."

  Time flies, three days later.

There is a ferocious female dragon waiting for him in Junlin, so he must not mess around outside.

As if thinking of something, Daniela quickly added: "The Resurrection Orchid is the name of the Valyrian people. It is said to grow in the Sea of ​​Smoke. Occasionally, expeditions will bring back this rare flower as a souvenir."

At this moment, there was a rustling sound coming from behind.

 Daniela's face turned red and she whispered shyly.

 The first time I saw a dragon in my life was that it was controlled by a real dragon king.

Although pollen is her only remaining private property, it is not as important as her kindness.

Rhaegar didn't react immediately and opened his eyes blankly.

He held his little hand tightly and said in a trembling voice: "Sir, you are a noble dragon master. Please don't dislike me for being of low origin."

 Smelling the fragrance of the Resurrection Orchid, Rhaegar felt complicated and leaned back slightly.

 “Sir, let me serve you and rest.”

 Very quickly, the texture is lightly rubbed, crispy and soft.

 What happened when he reacted?

 The Resurrection Orchid is difficult to find, but it is indeed useful.

 As soon as he made a move, the hands above his head slid down and hugged his strong waist to prevent him from dodging.

next moment.

 The Resurrection Orchid she got was by chance a few years ago.

Rhaegar was not pretentious: "It's up to you."

Rhaegar felt sleepy and couldn't open his eyes.

 Because it was so precious and she couldn't afford other scented powders, Daniela had been reluctant to use them.

There was a warm and soft touch on my back.

Rega's eyes twitched slightly, and she said speechlessly: “Let go, I'm not sleepy yet.”

Sailors carried supplies onto the ship, and a team of hundreds of well-equipped mercenaries maintained order.

"The Sea of ​​Smoke is somewhat dangerous, Prince, please be careful..."

  The three newly appointed consuls stood behind them, reporting and reminding respectfully.

 The old noble's face was serious, his eyes fixed on the sailboat, flashing a shrewd light.

Teslio's face was expressionless, like a vicious wooden man.

Varos had a flattering look on his face and surrounded Rhaegar with all kinds of greetings, saying that he didn't want him to leave.

 After several days of thinking, Rhaegar finally decided to go to the Sea of ​​Smoke to explore the ruins.

Afraid of concerns from King's Landing, he sent a message with a raven to explain the situation.

 At the latest a month, he will definitely return riding a dragon.

Rhaegar has this confidence because he has made sufficient preparations and response strategies.

To ensure safety, he hired the best helmsmen and sailors in Volantis, as well as a team of elite mercenaries.

Half of these people have been to the Sea of ​​Smoke and returned safely.

 With this group of people as escorts, the risk factor of the trip to Yanhai will be greatly reduced.

 Not long after, the goods were moved and everything was ready.

“Sir, you must come back safely, I will always wait for you.”

Daniela bowed her head timidly and whispered goodbye.

Leila held her hand, her eyes slightly red and swollen.

 The sisters had received great grace and did not want to leave their Savior.

Rhaegar smiled and said softly: "Please be careful, the voyage will not take long."

 After saying that, he looked at the three consuls and said goodbye one by one.

 The political power of Volantis will be completely handed over to three people.

Rhaegar boarded the ship and ordered the mercenaries to **** the greyscale-infected sailors into the hold.

Persons with greyscale cannot stay in the castle and are sent to the Sea of ​​Smoke to be released.

 “Hiss…”

The dark dragon shadow flashed past, sweeping through the strong wind and blowing the sails, and rushed towards the high clouds.

On the deck, Rhaegar looked at the figure of the glutton, feeling confident.

 There is danger in the Yanhai, and he does not intend to go there alone and one dragon in a daze. He took a boat and sailed into the smoke sea, adopting the method of ordinary fishermen and exploration teams.

 Gluttony protects us in the sky and provides support at any time in case of danger.

 Separate one person and one dragon to minimize the risk.

 The sailing ship went out to sea and disappeared without a trace.

That night, a fire broke out in Volantis under night.

 The source of the flames came from a long-established brothel.

The entire brothel was enveloped in a sea of ​​fire, and neither the prostitutes nor the clients could escape.

The fire spread quickly and attracted the Tiger Pao Army to put out the fire.

 One mile away, in an inconspicuous attic.

 A figure in black robes stood beside the bed, looking at the fire in the distance.

A panicked shout came to my ears, and the figure in black robe chuckled: "Well done, the burning was very clean."

It can be seen that he planned the fire and was very proud of it.

“My lord, Varos is also in the brothel and may be found early tomorrow morning.”

 Another voice sounded from the attic.

The black-robed figure turned back and calmly stared at a fierce young man with a tiger-like face.

 It is none other than the newly appointed governor of the Tiger Party, Teslio.

The black-robed figure looked at him for a while and said boringly: "Go down, the commander of the garrison should be at the fire scene to put out the fire."

Teslio was startled for a moment, and then responded: "Yes, sir."

 Without staying too long, Teslio opened the door and walked out of the attic.

When he turned his head, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

The figure in black robe watched him walk downstairs and raised his hand to take off his hood.

 In the faint firelight, Damon's handsome face appeared.

 “A dog that is not well-raised can be of some use.”

Damon's eyes were cold as he expressed his evaluation of Teslio.

 He has some dealings with Malachor, and his subordinates have already had secret contact with him.

Malachor died and Tesirion came to power.

Damon knew the man, a lustful, money-grubbing maniac, and could take advantage of him.

 It is also my fault that Rhaegar was pressed for time in selecting consuls and did not have time to carefully select them.

Of course, he didn't expect to completely control Volantis, just reap the benefits.

Damon gently touched the slate on the window edge with his fingers, and sneered: "Emperor for a day, just a kid's trick of playing house."

 In a trading city-state like Volantis, where power and wealth are paramount, there is no so-called trust.

 The dragon can intimidate for a day, but it will eventually leave.

 He also expected Volantis to create due value, and it was only right to fish in troubled waters.

 “Quickly put out the fire… put out the fire…”

Hearing screams came from outside the window, and there was silence in the attic.

Damon came back to his senses and stared at the burning brothel with contempt: "The **** who soiled the glory of Targaryen..."

Time flies, and ten days pass in the blink of an eye.

Across a vast sea, haze enveloped the sky, blocking the scorching sun.

 A three-masted sailing ship drifted alone.

Rhaegar stood on the deck, looking at the foggy sky, frowning slightly.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but there seem to be some fine ash floating in the air.

 It feels a little uncomfortable to breathe.

 “Sir, we have entered the range of the Sea of ​​Smoke.”

A middle-aged sailor who was blind in one eye and short and stocky came over.

Rhaegar nodded lightly and said cautiously: "Robert, put down the boat and send a few mercenaries ahead to investigate the situation."

 “No problem, sir.”

Robert slapped his chest and shouted the order in a loud voice.

 He ​​is one of the best sailors in Volantis and has survived several storms at sea.

 With his outstanding commanding ability and enthusiasm, he won the reuse of Rhaegar.

A small wooden boat fell into the sea. Several mercenaries jumped on the boat and rowed forward with torches.

Rhaegar watched quietly without saying a word.

 This is a stupid idea, but it works well.

 The Sea of ​​Smoke is shrouded in smog all year round and the visibility is very low.

It is safer to send out manpower to explore the situation first than to rush into the depths rashly.

Robert saw his worries and said carelessly: "Sir, I have been to the Sea of ​​Smoke before. As long as we find the right direction, there will be no accidents."

 “I hope it's as you said.” Rhaegar responded lightly.

 After speaking, he took out a rough chart and found the position of a red cross on it.

There is the site marked by the smuggling ship.

First, there is the ruins of a stone arch bridge that stretches far away. After sailing along the ruins for a while, you will reach a remote rocky beach in a corner.

The location of the ruins is in a cave on the rocky beach.

 Two hours later.

 A cluster of fire appeared in the haze, and the exploring canoe slowly returned.

Robert impatiently leaned on the fence and asked: "Is there anything going on ahead?"

“Everything went well, but the smoke was too thick.”

 The mercenaries waved torches and shouted loudly.

Robert looked happy and asked, "Sir, let's go."

After confirming that nothing happened, Rhaegar muttered: "Sail for an hour first and find the position on the chart."

 The scope of the Sea of ​​Smoke is not large, and more dangers come from the old Valyrian sites on the north and south banks.

 The ruins mark is located near the north shore. It is most likely a broken land plate. There is no need to explore the real land.
