Game of Thrones: I Became a Crown Prince For a Day Chapter 400

Chapter 400 The toad wants to eat swan meat

Viserys sighed, and the golden wine in his mouth tasted a bit unpleasant.

 Fortunately, several old ministers were sitting downstairs, drinking and chatting together.

 The dinner was full of joy all night long.

At this time, Rhaenyra was already yawning sleepily, and fell asleep with Rhaegar as a pillow.

no way.

 My belly is getting bigger day by day, and I feel sleepy after eating and drinking.

Rhaegar was content and looking forward to the birth of his twins.

With the cool evening breeze, the two of them hugged each other and fell asleep.

Aegon clearly had a good starting point, but he settled for the status quo and indulged himself all day long.

“They are all Hightowers, how dare I marry a Hightower woman...”

Alik's face was expressionless, and he had long been accustomed to this.

In order to obtain further support from the family, the queen agreed to marry Prince Aegon to stabilize the relationship between the two parties.

 The night is getting darker, and the dark clouds are spreading and covering the moon.

 Alik had no expression on his face and stood straight on the spot.

Allison rolled his eyes angrily, extremely disappointed: "You really don't look like my son!"

 “That's a good girl, you must marry an excellent wife!”

Snapped!

Allison became more and more angry and said with a cold face: "Think carefully whether you accept my suggestion or just arrange for the daughter of a young nobleman."

 “Aegon, when will you grow up!”

 Across the door, a fierce quarrel broke out.

 “Why? I don't like that girl.”

 Turn around and strode out of the corridor.

 “Yes, Your Majesty.”

 Almost half a ring.

 Listening to his mother's scolding, Aegon froze on the spot, feeling unreasonable.

Looking back suddenly, Aegon slumped on the ground dejectedly, with a red and swollen slap mark on the side of his face.

Aegon's face was pale, and he was holding his long hair anxiously.

 There is no need to listen specifically, the muttering is sad.

 Working on duty for the Queen, I heard a lot of news without any hesitation.

 In the long run, their fate will only get worse.

　　Just after a moment of quarreling over the topic of marrying a wife, a crisp slap in the face suddenly sounded.

Although the marriage partner was just a cousin, she was adopted as an adopted daughter by Count Mondstadt, who had few offspring.

 Alik remained quiet the whole time, raising his feet to follow.

 The queen's bedroom.

Allison waved his hand and excused himself without looking back: "No sir, I'll just take some time to relax."

Alik looked away and secretly sneered.

Aegon's eyes were red and he stared at the floor for a while.

Alik is dressed in silver armor and white robes, and he is on duty at night.

 The husband has always been partial and neglected his children.

 Apparently, mother and son had a "friendly" conversation.

The voice contained fear, as if a glass of poisonous wine was being forced into his mouth.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Alik made a slight movement and glanced into the room.

 The retorts stopped suddenly, as if they were being strangled by the throat.

Allison gritted his teeth, full of hatred that iron cannot be made into steel.

The door opened with a bang, and Allison walked out angrily, his green skirt swaying.

 He was thinking about whether what his mother said was right or wrong.

Ever since the tournament at Lake God's Eye, Lord Otto has had a rift with Mond Hightower, and the two brothers have argued several times.

 Allison sighed deeply, held his chest and walked away.

It is indeed more respectable than the daughters of some second-tier nobles.

 Allison walked up the stairs alone, his irritability was like a burning fire.

 The Narrow Sea War came to an end, and the kingdom gained three more overseas city-states.

 For this battle, the Hightower family sacrificed a lot, and her children each defended their side.

 In the end, nothing good was lost.

 Aegon's twin castles are not counted, they should belong to the foundation of the outer prince.

The greater Rhaegar's power grew, the more uneasy she became.

　　While your husband is still sitting on the Iron Throne, you must hold on to the benefits you deserve.

 Aemond's marriage to the Duchess of Storm's End does not require her to worry about it anymore.

As long as the marriage between Aegon and Helena is properly arranged, you can win over powerful allies and strengthen your own power.

 At that time, the position of the Iron Throne will change hands.

 With her status as Queen Mother and the rights of her children, she was able to compete with Rhaenyra.

Allison rubbed his face and murmured emphatically: "Everything I do is for my family!"

 Walking to himself while walking, he walked up the stairs to a certain attic.

At the door of the attic, a skinny knight wearing leather armor was guarding the door, his eyes were dark and sharp.

Beside him, his personal maid Terra was waiting carefully.

Seeing her arrival, Tyra stepped forward and introduced in a low voice: "This is Sir Mervyn Flowers."

 Fohua is the surname of an illegitimate child in the Reach.

 Allison adjusted his appearance and looked up and down coldly.

A very young man, with long and strong limbs, and his hands are covered with calluses from holding a sword and drawing a bow.

 The collar of the leather armor is engraved with the family emblem in the style of "three black castles on an orange background".

 An ancient and long-established family in the Reach, the Peake family known as the "Three Castles".

Mervyn lowered his head and greeted respectfully: "Your Majesty the Queen."

"Um."

Allison responded coldly and walked into the attic under Tyra's push of the door. Someone extended an invitation to her, hoping to meet her.

 For the sake of being a noble of the Reach, I deigned to condescend to summon him.

 In the attic, familiar arrangements are placed, and the open screen window blows in the evening breeze.

 A young man dressed in fine clothes, with dark brown curly hair and a fine beard has been waiting for a long time.

Allison glanced at it and frowned slightly.

The other person has a yellowish complexion and a pair of inverted triangular eyes. The arrogance in his eyes and the luxurious clothes all reflect his arrogance.

 “My noble queen, Urwin of the Peak family sends you my sincere greetings!”

The young earl who called himself Urwin bowed and saluted with great gesture.

Allison raised his hand to stop Tyra from closing the door, looking down on the inviter who looked like he had suddenly become rich.

“My lord, what do you want to see me for?”

 Alisson put on a high profile and exuded pride that was neither too high nor too low.

Ulwin's eyes were cunning and his attitude was sincere: "I heard that your Majesty is troubled, and I am very willing to help you."

Allison's eyes narrowed slightly, and the question he asked was not the answer: "The Baker family is powerful, how sincere are you?"

 She needs allies, but not just anyone can be her ally.

Urwin raised a smile and said with great satisfaction: "My family has three castles, and the annual output is very rich."

· After a pause, he said with some showoff: "As a warrior family with a long history, we have one hundred knights and nine hundred infantry under our command. If necessary, we can recruit several times more."

The number of infantry is not surprising, the focus is on one hundred knights.

Knights are an elite class who have received special education and are able to mount horses, bend bows, and organize battles.

 One knight is more than enough to command a hundred ordinary soldiers and can easily form a large army.

Allison didn't like the other party's frivolity and said impatiently: "You have many castles, but how many times can the castles and soldiers block the dragon flames?"

The Baker family is not weak in strength and was once the top power in the Reach.

 However, today is different from the past.

Even with three wealthy castles, the Peake family is still only a second-tier noble, far inferior to Hightower in the old town.

Ulwin choked at the rebuke, a flash of irritation flashed in his eyes.

 Subconsciously, he opened his mouth to say something bad.

When the words came to her lips, she noticed the queen's cold eyes and immediately suppressed them obediently.

Took a deep breath and smiled: "Your Majesty, as long as you are willing, the Peak family is willing to go through fire and water for you."

 “Tell me your purpose, I don't have time to delay you.”

Allison felt a ray of cool breeze, crossed his arms on his chest, and said bluntly: "My husband needs my care. If you make him angry, you will be hanged on the gallows."

Ulwin held back his temper and said with a flattering look on his face: "I heard that you want to facilitate Prince Aegon's marriage. I have a way to help."

 “Who said that?” Allison looked sharply.

"With all due respect, your intention is as obvious as an old ox working at a grindstone." Urwin said a country slang inadvertently.

Allison was too lazy to hesitate and raised his eyes to indicate for him to continue.

Urwin chuckled: "My father once said that children are disobedient because they lack a lesson, and appropriate measures must be used."

 Alison doesn't know why.

Ulwin coughed lightly and pretended to be profound: "Your Majesty, I have made a new friend in Volantis during this trip. In his hands are many potions looted from Lys brothel."

Hearing the harsh words, Allison turned cold and felt offended.

 “Don't be impatient yet.”

Ulwin quickly explained: "Prince Aegon is young and energetic, but in fact he still likes that girl in his heart. He just needs a little push."

 “Give me a push?”

 “That's right!”

Urwin argued: "As long as the girl is willing, you can leave this matter to me, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

 Suddenly, Allison fell into deep thought.

Since it is a marriage, of course my niece is willing.

 However, from what the person said, it can be guessed that the means will not be glorious.

　　Seeing that the queen was interested, Urwin added fuel to the fire: "Duke Tyrell of Highgarden is loyal to the crown prince, and most of the nobles in the Reach also obey. There is no better marriage partner."

Allison couldn't help but close his hands and secretly pick at his nails.

  It is undeniable that what the other party said is true.

Rhaegar's prestige was so high that all the nobles in the royal realm, the Riverlands, the Vale, and the Reach were loyal to him.

 After the Narrow Sea War, the long-established prestige will rise again.

Even Hightower's direct vassals, the Bisbury family of Beehive City, are moving closer to him, which can be seen from this.

With thousands of thoughts running through his mind, Allison suppressed distracting thoughts and closed his eyes: "What do you want after everything is done?"

 She subconsciously regarded the Baker family as speculators who wanted to ride on the Green Party's canoe.

At the time of the Dorne rebellion, the most important castle of the Peake family, Star Shuttle City, was located in the Dorne Frontier.

Her son Aemond is in the army against the Dornishmen and could be of great help.

Unexpectedly, Urwin shook his head and revealed his true thoughts: "My wife passed away last year, and I heard that Princess Helena is not engaged yet..."

 Halfway through speaking, consciously close your mouth.

 The meaning does not need to be stated clearly.

 Allison opened his eyes suddenly, the difference was huge.

  She had only one daughter, Helena, who was her sweetheart.

 Look at the other person.

　　The appearance is not bad, and the identity is barely noticeable, but he has the rudeness of a country boy and the cunningness of plotting.

 Cause her great discomfort.

Without hesitation, Allison politely declined: "Helena will choose a husband she is satisfied with, and I will not force my daughter."

“I sincerely marry the princess, please give me a chance to express my loyalty.”

Urwin looked anxious and quickly begged.

Allison resisted and turned away: "I will hold an exhibition banquet on Girls' Day. You can go to it."

 It is said to be an exhibition banquet, but in fact it is a blind date meeting prepared for Aegon and Helena.

 Nobles will recommend their children of appropriate age and meet with princes and princesses respectively in order to gain favor.

Ulwin is really capable, and he fought his way through a crowd of young talents.

 “Tyra, let's go.”

 Hello the maid, Alison went out quickly.

Urwin's face was filled with unwillingness, and he was running around anxiously.
