Game of Thrones: I Became a Crown Prince For a Day Chapter 30

 Chapter 30 Rejection of Request

 “Ride a dragon! I want you to take me flying around on a dragon.”

Rhaegar couldn't wait to express his feelings.

Rhaenyra couldn't help but laugh and rubbed his head: "I knew you must have something to do with me, otherwise you wouldn't take the initiative to find me."

“Then, my dear sister, can you agree to your brother's request?”

Rhaegar let her sister rub her, looking at her expectantly.

"To disappoint you, Uncle Daemon and I have made an appointment to fly to Dragonstone and back together. We will be very late by then."

Rhaenyra politely declined.

"I can go to Dragonstone Island with you. I just haven't returned to my clan yet. It doesn't matter if it gets late."

The desire to ride the dragon overwhelmed his reason, and Rhaegar took Rhaenyra's hand and shook it.

 Seeing the pleading in her brother's eyes, Rhaenyra hesitated.

　　Looking at Damon, his eyes were questioning.

 Noticing his sister's expression, Rhaegar also looked at Daemon.

Want to see how this generous uncle would respond.

Unexpectedly, Damon showed a nonchalant attitude and said calmly: "If he wants to go, he can take me with him. However, if your father knows that I am taking his heir and eldest son on a trip, he may not be happy."

 The meaning of this statement is very clear.

I can take him there, but if something happens, who will be responsible?

 A very cliché rejection of words.

Rhaenyra had no choice but to hold Rhaegar's hand tightly and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Rhaegar."

“Today's distance is really too far. How about my sister taking you to ride a dragon and fly around King's Landing next time?”

Rhaegar was indescribably disappointed when he was rejected.

　　Since he maintains his own identity, it is impossible for him to act like Aegon and wallow around. It would be too detrimental to the prince's tall image.

Withdrawing the little hand held by Rhaenyra, Rhaegar took a step back and said with a forced smile: "Okay, then I'll wait for you to fulfill your promise."

　　What he said was very sensible, but the loneliness in his eyes could not be concealed.

“You're so good. After watching Dragon's Den, go back to the Red Keep early and don't run around.”

How could Rhaenyra not see his loss, but thinking of the agreement with her uncle, she could only turn a blind eye.

 “I'll make it up to you in the future, Rhaegar!”

Rhaenyra thought to herself.

 At this moment, the draconian unchained Syrax and reported to Rhaenyra in High Valyrian.

 “Princess, you can fly on Syracuse.”

Rhaenyra responded in the same language: "I know."

Rhaenyra took Rhaegar's hand again, took him to a clearing away from the dragon, and handed him over to Ilic.

　　Instruction: "Watch my brother and don't let him run around in the dragon's lair."

Elic nodded and said: "Yes, princess."

 Finally, she touched Rhaegar's hair and said a few words of comfort before Rhaenyra walked towards Sylaxy.

Damon always remained quiet and watched the exchange between the siblings.

 “Uncle, let's go.”

Rhaenyra mounted the dragon's back, tied a safety chain around her waist, and said to Daemon.

 “I thought you would take him with you.”

　Daemon rides on Coraxio, chatting indifferently.

“Rhaegar is still young. Riding on the back of a dragon and blowing the wind for a day will be unbearable.”

Rhaenyra explained with a smile.

“You can control a dragon at the age of seven. Rhaegar is a boy. It is beneficial to be exposed to dragons as early as possible.”

 What Dimon said is fair.

Who among the Targaryen family is not a dragon knight?

 “There will be opportunities in the future.”

Rhaenyra hated the distinction between men and women, so she interrupted: "Stop talking about Rhaegar, let's see who can fly to Dragonstone first."

Damon shrugged and shut up indifferently.

 At the back, Rhaegar stood in front of the crowd and witnessed the two dragons fluttering their wings and taking off, gradually disappearing into the clouds.

Elic paid close attention to Rhaegar all the time, and was relieved when he saw that there was no big mood swing under his calm face.

 He was not the only one staring at Rhaegar.

Meenas stood in the crowd, his eyes resting on the small fists he silently clenched behind his back. “Great opportunity!”

Mainers remained calm on his face, but he kept shouting in his heart, and his hands and feet were trembling slightly.

 He had had enough of being looked down upon.

 Those noble-born bachelors looked down upon him.

Even though he obviously has more knowledge than most of the bachelors he has seen, the prejudice against him still cannot be changed.

 After being assigned to Dragon Lair, he originally expected to be recognized for his diligent work.

 Even attracted the attention of members of the royal family.

Members of the Targaryen family can control dragons, and one day he may be supported by a noble person and soar into the sky.

  It's a pity that this is a scene that only happens in dreams.

The dragon controller only needs the Menglong people to pull the dragon, and does not need a bachelor to report on the dragon's eating, drinking and diarrhea.

 He had no access to the royal family at all.

 Now, there is an excellent opportunity in front of you.

 When a young prince is neglected by his sister, isn't it the time when he needs someone to comfort and accompany him?

 The premise is that what you do must be interesting enough.

  Accurately control the psychological needs of the young prince.

With thousands of thoughts in his mind, Menas summoned up the courage and trilled:

“Prince, don't you want to see a dragon? There is also a giant dragon named Menghuo in the dragon's lair. It is larger and older than the other two.”

Rhaegar looked over after hearing this and found that the young bachelor's face was pale, his voice was trembling, and he swallowed nervously.

 He didn't pay attention to this little thing.

 As an illegitimate child, taking the initiative to communicate with an unattainable prince is already under great pressure.

His proposal does have appeal, though.

 “Take me to see it!”

Rega's voice was calm, showing an attitude that could not be refused.

Ilic wanted to dissuade him, but Rega turned to look at him, his eyes cold.

　　Ilik immediately lowered his head, not wanting to offend the prince who was in a bad mood.

 He knew that the prince had been in a very bad mood since morning.

 “Let's go, we still have a long journey today.”

Rhaegar took the lead, pushing aside the dragon people who did not understand Common Language, and went downstairs under the leadership of Menas.

 There are many lairs built by dragons in the Dragon Cave.

Most of them are underground to prevent dragons from hitting the ceiling and causing collapse.

 After receiving the instructions from Rhaegar, Menas smiled inwardly.

 While leading the way, he used all the vocabulary he had learned in his life to tell Rhaegar about the beauty and power of the dragon "Dream Fire".

Menghuo is a violent female dragon who once laid several dragon eggs.

The dragon egg in Rhaegar's hand was produced from Dreamfire.

“Dragons lay eggs to hatch their offspring, but the strange thing is that dragons have no gender, and people's distinction between male and female dragons is wrong.”

Meenas never tired of telling the knowledge about dragons to show his knowledge.

 “So dragons reproduce asexually?”

Rhaegar continued to be bored.

Meenas smiled and said: "I don't know, King Renrui's mount Vermisor and Silver Wing are a well-known companionship, which is different from other solitary dragons."

"Okay, maester, I've heard enough about dragons. When will we arrive at Dreamfire's lair?"

　　While talking over and over again about some inconclusive topics, Rhaegar interrupted impatiently.

 “I'm sorry, Prince.”

Mainers apologized repeatedly, humble to the core, and said nervously: "But we have already reached the entrance of the Dreamfire Lair, and we will not waste your time anymore."

Hearing what he said, Rhaegar realized that they had gone a long way through the tunnel.

A huge hole appeared in front of me, and the dark shadow made it impossible to see my fingers.

Chapter 4, and the final chapter later.
