Game of Thrones: I Became a Crown Prince For a Day Chapter 292

Chapter 292 Hidden dangers of the family

 Helena was his sister, the one who accompanied him the most among his brothers and sisters.

Aegon scoffed and said disparagingly: "We have nothing in common."

“She has tamed the Dreamfire and is a true Targaryen.” Aemond's tone was flat, with a hint of longing.

Aegon glanced sideways and said nonchalantly: "Then marry her."

Haunted by the shadow of his eldest brother Rhaegar since childhood, he had no idea of ​​fighting for power.

 He has not had enough dissipation, a bohemian life is his pursuit.

Aemond was silent for a while after hearing this, and his hands hidden under the green cloak clenched into fists.

Helena stared down, her silver-gold curly hair flying with her movements, and she wielded the wooden sword meticulously.

 He knew that Helena was not a fool, but sometimes she was immersed in her own world.

Eamond is not yet qualified to take his place.

 She heard the quarrel between her mother and Aegon, so she went to the godswood to practice swordplay to vent her anger.

“Brother, I thought I wouldn't see you until a dinner party.”

 Being bold enough to refute what he said.

Looking at Helena's back, Aemond's expression was dull, and his mind was filled with what his mother said about his family.

Aemond raised his head and said calmly: "I am willing to fulfill my duties, if mother allows us to get engaged."

The girl passed by the weirwood tree with her head lowered, and the ignored Rhaegar called out softly.

 Helena raised her head and followed the voice to find the handsome young man under the weirwood tree.

 Then he thought about how he was different from his brothers and sisters.

Unable to get the response he wanted, Aegon turned around and left alone with a stinky face.

As he spoke, he put his face next to his ear and said with a wicked smile: "Remember? Get this place wet."

Aemond lowered his head and muttered to himself: "I don't have a dragon."

 After the competition, Helena was so tired that she walked back holding the wooden sword that was a little too heavy to carry.

 “Tch, boring.”

 In his heart that has not yet experienced the storm, Aegon, Helena, he and Daeron, who are of the same mother and father, should be the closest people.

After a moment of silence, there was a movement in the sacred forest.

 But no one cares about him.

 “Tsk, tsk.”

 “What if? Haha…” Aegon curled his lips.

 “Helena.”

Having exposed part of his inner thoughts, Aemond no longer hid his true nature behind his mediocre appearance, and said calmly: "This will enhance the strength of the family and maintain the purity of the Valyrian bloodline."

Aemond heard the mockery in the words and bowed his head in silence.

Aegon was still beside him, taunting him with words, constantly arousing his emotions.

 His mother wanted to force Helena to him and take care of this "different" relative.

Slightly bending his knees, Aegon lowered his height to look level with Aemond, and said playfully: "Actually, we have one thing in common, that is, you and I both like long-legged beauties."

 He doesn't understand the complicated love yet, but he has a sympathetic attachment to Helena.

This sentence was his profound advice when he took Emond to visit a brothel last time on a whim.

If asked to carry out the family tradition, he would not refuse like Aegon.

　　Just like the eldest half-sister Rhaenyra and the eldest brother Rhaegar, they love each other.

Aegon clicked his tongue, as if he had just met the younger brother in front of him.

 “Huh? Brother.”

Aegon was shocked by his words and said in disgust: "She is an idiot."

 Helena knocked the wooden sword out of Rigoletto's hand and walked out of the sight of the open-air corridor, panting.

 This is the thought instilled in him by his mother, Allison, and it is also his own true thought.

But Aegon's bad character and irresponsible attitude made him deeply disappointed.

Aemond stared at the other person's back, with disappointment in his eyes, and shook his head slightly: "Aegon..."

 This brother is as stupid as Helena.

She was so tired that she wanted to go back and drink a glass of ice-cold liqueur, then fall on the bed and get drunk.

"She is likely to be your future wife." Aemond looked at her seriously.

Thinking about this, a surge of anger arose in my heart, and I wanted to say something sarcastic.

Helena changed her depressed look and raised her face in surprise.

As soon as she finished speaking, she was startled for a moment and looked up and down at Rhaegar, who was dressed in black, as if she had discovered something strange.

 Pale complexion, angular face, cold and melancholy atmosphere...

 Finally, his green-white fingers pointed at Rhaegar's short silver-gold hair, eyes widening curiously.

 Brother's long hair is gone, replaced by neat short hair.

Rhaegar waved his hand and said generously: "I just saw you practicing your sword."

 “No, just have fun.”

 She was caught practicing swordplay playfully. Helena seemed to have been exposed a little secret, and she hesitated to deny it.

With his eyes wandering, he spotted Rhaenyra on the other side of the weirwood, and whispered a greeting: "Sister."

Rhaenyra nodded and sat on the pillow holding the green dragon egg in her arms.

Rhaegar did not let the little girl continue to be shy and changed the topic: "Helena, are you worried about Aegon?"

 Helena has always been quiet and never jumped up and down like an ordinary girl.

　　Today I changed my practice of wooden sword practice, and I must have something on my mind.

 “No.” Helena was not interested and shook her little head.

 Seeing her air of being a victim, Rega felt helpless and took her little hand with his big hand.

 Helena threw away the wooden sword and walked to her brother's side.

 “Do you have anything on your mind that you want to tell me?”

Rhaegar squatted down, just face to face with Helena, keeping her eyes level.

Because she had just practiced swordplay, Helena's cheeks were flushed, a line of sweat broke out on her forehead, and her long, slightly curly hair was tied into a bun.

At this moment, a pair of big watery eyes were staring at him.

The two brothers and sisters looked at each other. Rhaegar saw Helena's hidden sadness and said softly: "If you have any difficulties, you must tell me."

 He already understands the cause of the matter. The disrespect of the Baratheon family led to Aegon's marriage.

 Allison also brought up the desire to control the marriage of a pair of children.

He will find a way to solve the problem of the Baratheon family at the Royal Council.

 Marriage is not a way to stabilize rule.

The premise is that no one can make the so-called "sacrifice."

Rhaegar rubbed Helena's head and emphasized: "The Dragon Clan does not need to sacrifice anyone."

 The family now has more than a dozen dragons, and several dragon masters who can go on the battlefield.

The journey to the Sea of ​​Smoke has found the "forbidden curse" of the Belerys family, and Targaryen's strength will rise again.

 All he has to do is protect a group of brothers and sisters, unite a group of brothers and sisters, and twist all Targaryens into one rope.

 Helena was the first of Allison's children to be close to him, and she was an important part of the rope.

 He did not want Helena to be wronged.

"elder brother…"

Feeling the confidence exuded by Rhaegar, Helena was deeply touched and said in a low voice: "My mother wanted me to marry Aegon, and they had a big fight."

 Rega's eyes flashed slightly, and he heard a lot of content.

  Aegon was unwilling to follow the family tradition with Helena.

　　That's right. Aegon has disliked Helena since he was a child, and he was often taught a lesson by Rhaegar for this.

　　After pondering for a moment, Rhaegar did not ask such stupid questions as "Do you want to marry Aegon?" He put his arm around her little head and asked tentatively: "They are quarreling in front of you?"

 “Hmm~” Helena nodded vigorously, her face buried in her brother's arms.

 “They should ask your opinion.”

Rhaegar rubbed Helena's silver hair and said caringly: "Good girl, you know you have been wronged."

 “Hmm~”

 Helena hummed in grievance, her eyes quickly turned red, and she tried her best not to cry.

 She is just immersed in her own world and is not completely separated from the outside world.

 All the quarrels between her mother and Aegon reached her ears and pierced her heart.

 “Hush! Don't cry.”

Rhaegar held up Helena's face, wiped away the tears from her eyes, and said seriously: "If you want to get out of this predicament, you must first be brave."

 He can intervene in the marriage between House Baratheon and Aegon.

 But it's hard to shake Allison's plans for their children's marriage.

 Aegon and Helena looked at each other disgustedly, and encouraged Helena to find her true self, and the rest was enough to let nature take its course.

Helena was stunned and said in confusion: "Be brave."

Huddled up in her brother's arms, she tightened her grip on the wooden sword and thought deeply about the meaning of bravery.

 That night, in order to celebrate Rhaegar's return, the Red Castle held a lively dinner.

Viserys invited many guests with great fanfare and planned to party all night long.

 Having just drank a few glasses of wine, I couldn't hold my throat down and started coughing, which made my face turn red.

“Drink slowly.” Allison persuaded her husband softly, holding a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her husband's mouth.

Viserys smiled bitterly and said, "I can't pour a thousand cups."

Rhaegar frowned and looked at this scene worriedly.

 As he grows older, his father's originally strong body becomes increasingly weak.

 The cuts caused by the Iron Throne cannot heal, and the pain is always there.

 Excessive drinking and indulgence are also important factors that can bring down the body.

 “Be happy, this is a party for you.”

Rhaenyra whispered in her ear as they sat next to each other.

Rhaegar smoothed his eyebrows and raised his glass to touch it with her.

“There will be a royal meeting tomorrow, so drink less.”

Rhaenyra's beautiful eyes moved as she picked him some of his favorite dishes.

Rhaegar smiled helplessly: "Of course."

 After simply eating some dishes, the banquet came to the dancing part.

When no one had any ideas, Rhaegar took out the parchment left by the Shadowbinder from his space bracelet and turned to a page engraved with the ancient knowledge of the Belerys family.

That stone wall not only records the "forbidden curse", but also contains many explanations about dragons that Targaryen does not have.

 He vaguely remembered that there was a mention of the coexistence of "dragons and drivers".

 The driver will affect the dragon's emotions, and the dragon will also affect the driver's will.

 Long-term contact may even affect each other's bodies.

 Rega agrees with this view.

 His bloodline was affected by the gluttonous eater to a certain extent, thus slowly improving.

Perhaps, you can let your father try to contact the dragon in the family.

 Maybe it will help your body recover.

 The next day, in the morning.

 Parliament Hall.

Sunlight refracted into the hall through the glazed windows and fell on the long table of the imperial meeting.

 A black stone ball mixed with green dragon patterns fell into the slot.

Today, Rhaegar was wearing a set of white lining and a striking red striped shirt, looking around calmly with his eyes.

 As the crown prince, he always sits on his father's left hand when attending royal meetings.

 Chief Leonor sat opposite him.

Rhaegar smiled and nodded to each of the royal ministers. His eyes fell on the two ladies at the table.

Rhaenyra, wearing a strapless red dress, sat next to him.

Allison looked calm and sat beside her husband, not next to the royal minister.
