Game of Thrones: I Became a Crown Prince For a Day Chapter 393

Chapter 393 System and Benefit Distribution

 The sound is not loud, but it reaches everyone's ears.

Viserys's face turned ugly, but he was unable to refute.

Hummed loudly and changed the subject: "Lord Corliss, tell me about reopening trade. You are an expert in this field."

"no problem."

Colliss agreed immediately and talked eloquently.

Rhaegar ignored these and glanced at Allison vaguely.

 Allison looked calm and remained silent again, with a hint of dissatisfaction hidden in his eyes.

Otto lowered his eyes and glanced at Helena who was silent from the corner of his eye.

Rhaegar followed his gaze and landed on Helena's lovely freckled face.

 There is a saying that Helena did not inherit Allison's stunning beauty, but instead resembled her father's mediocre appearance.

But the little girl is slim and slim, like an orchid when she is quiet, with an inexplicable intellectual beauty.

Noticing that someone was watching, Helena quietly raised her head and smiled at him.

 “Naughty.” Rhaegar couldn't help but smile and put his weight back on the council table.

 It was a matter of great importance to the Targaryen territory, so he proposed to invite several younger brothers and sisters to participate.

Aegon is guarding the Stepstone Islands, Aemond is wandering in the Stormlands, and little Daeron is too young.

 In the end, Rhaenyra and Helena were the only ones accompanying him.

“Your Majesty, the plan is roughly the same. I wonder how much port tax you intend to enact?”

 Colliss told the story in a straightforward manner, and then began to reveal his true thoughts.

Viserys hadn't noticed yet and said patiently: "Customs matters should be the responsibility of the Minister of the Sea. You and Lord Tyran have withdrawn from the Imperial Council. This responsibility will be shared by the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance."

 Responsibilities of the Sea Secretary; taxation of major ports, control of pipelines...

 This position has been held by members of the Velaryon family since the Conqueror's generation.

To some extent, the office is said to be a hereditary authority of House Velaryon.

 With Corliss withdrawing from the Council, the Iron Throne lost its grip on the Throne.

Even Tailan's appointment could not reclaim this right.

 The only function is to use the experience of dealing with Lannister Port to collect customs duties.

 That's why Viserys was originally afraid of the Velaryon family's rebellion.

Chaohead Island is very close to King's Landing. With the cooperation of dragons and warships, the Mud Gate can be breached in one day.

Colliss hesitated and said tactfully: "Your Majesty, the customs and tax matters are very important. It would be better for you to make the promotion as soon as possible."

“Lord Corliss, I think you are the best person for the job.”

Rhaegar smiled and spoke for his father.

 Colliss frowned and did not reply immediately.

Viserys then persuaded: "Lord Corlys, you have just handled the port's plan very thoroughly, and you should be responsible for it."

 After saying that, the father and son looked at each other and saw the glint in each other's eyes.

Rhaegar raised the corner of his mouth and added more leverage: "Lys's tower system will eventually be implemented, and my cousin and cousin are both candidates for parliament, so that Lord Corliss will not have to travel in both directions."

Collis thought for a moment, glanced at his daughter sitting opposite, and agreed: "Fortunately, Your Majesty has your trust. Velaryon will not disappoint the king."

 “Haha, welcome back to the Royal Council.”

Viserys laughed with joy and raised his glass to drink together.

 Corliss nodded slightly, raised his glass and drank it down in one gulp.

 Through the voices of the king and the crown prince, he had already heard the key information.

House Velaryon will share in the profits, and the Councilors of the Tower System are one of them.

but! An MP cannot be a member of Parliament himself.

His political literacy is excellent, and any member of the royal family who serves as a prince risks being ignored by him.

 In turn, he was promised the position of Lord of the Sea and reserved the Tower Councilor for one of his children.

With the dual duties of King's Landing and Lys, the Velaryon family's power has undoubtedly increased again.

Rhaegar also raised his glass and smiled without saying a word.

 Smart people are quick to understand and know the trade-offs and analyze the pros and cons.

After the Battle of the Narrow Sea, Targaryen's prestige reached its peak, and no force could shake it.

The Velaryon family has lost its vitality, and returning to the embrace of the royal family is the right path.

 This is the power that rights bring.

Leonor was surprised and said: "Prince, what is the tower system?"

 “What are the rights of MPs?”

Otto crossed his arms and looked at him with deep eyes. In a few words, the ministers heard the prince's special arrangement and seemed not to be prepared to continue Westeros or the local system in the three city-states.

Rhaegar was well prepared and spoke clearly and unhurriedly.

 The ministers were extremely intelligent and quickly understood the profound meaning.

 “Prince, who will assume the position of prince?”

Leonor frowned slightly and asked his doubts.

Otto took advantage of the opportunity and said as a matter of course: "The position of prince is naturally held by the heirs of the royal family."

 Suddenly, the ministers present looked pale and had different thoughts.

Allison breathed heavily and stood up to pour wine for her husband, paying attention to his expression.

Being granted the title of prince, this is a treatment that even Damon does not have.

In the two city-states of Myr and Lys, her children have a good chance.

Looking around, Rhaegar took Rhaenyla's hand and said openly, "The prince can also be the queen. I am ready to support Rhaenyra in managing Lys."

 He said he would make Rhaenyra queen.

 Having conquered the Three Women's Kingdom, this traceability should be realized.

 “Rhaegar.”

Even though she was prepared, Rhaenyra was still moved.

 “Good! What a great proposal.”

 Viserys smiled, clapped his hands and loudly agreed.

 Looking at the eldest daughter's belly, her smile became more sincere.

 The eldest son inherits the Iron Throne, and the eldest daughter governs the newly occupied Lys.

 According to Archmaester Orwell's judgment, there is a high probability that Rhaenyra is pregnant with twins.

Twins were born from the same birth, and it happened that each of the two brothers inherited the throne.

Allison's face changed slightly, he calmly poured the wine and sat down.

Viserys didn't notice it at all and looked at his wife with a smile.

Otto's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice: "According to King Renrui's wishes, the male heir has a higher order of succession than the female heir."

Without the two children speaking, Viserys said displeasedly: "Rhaenyra was once the heir to the Iron Throne. I believe she has this ability."

 “Your Majesty, you still have many heirs.” Otto said unwillingly.

 Click!

The stone ball hit the groove heavily. Rhaegar's eyes were unkind and his tone was tough: "Lord Otto, I will capture the three city-states. It is not up to you to decide how to distribute them."

“As a minister of the imperial court, I have the obligation to speak boldly and directly.”

Otto spoke out in defense.

Rhaegar grinned, a dangerous gleam in his eyes.

 “Don't worry, I'll come.”

Feeling her brother's protection, Rhaenyra patted the back of his hand and stood up holding her round belly.

Rhaenyra smiled warmly, looked at all the ministers with her eyes, pursed her lips and said, "My lords, some of you swore allegiance to me, when I was still an ignorant girl."

 Leonor and Linman nodded secretly and did not deny this.

Even Corliss straightened his back, his majestic face a little more solemn.

　　Excluding the newly appointed Orville and Tormund, several ministers present had vivid memories of the allegiance ceremony that year.

Rhaenyra held her belly with both hands and smiled shyly: "In a flash of many years, I have become a woman, and will soon be a mother. My not-so-strong shoulders shoulder another responsibility."

 “Princess, we all see it.”

 Collis's eyes were sharp and he entered the state of a minister.

 Leonor and others nodded in agreement.

 Propagating the Targaryen bloodline and giving birth to a legitimate heir is as practical as conquering disputed lands.

With the approval of the minister, Rhaenyra became more confident and declared: "The Iron Throne already has a crown prince, and Lys needs a queen."

“For the sake of my father and husband, and also for the sake of my unborn child, I will definitely govern with all my heart and soul.”

 After saying that, she looked at Rhaegar tenderly and looked at him for a moment.

Rhaegar smiled softly and squeezed her hand.

Rhaenyra smiled shyly, her eyes falling on her father.

Viserys was looking at his children with joy, and couldn't help but miss his late wife Emma Arryn.

If Rhaenyra can be promoted to the position of Prince/Queen of Lys, the guilt of the original exchange of funds can also be erased.

Viserys was slightly startled when he happened to meet Rhaenyra's eyes, with an encouraging look in his eyes.
