Game of Thrones: I Became a Crown Prince For a Day Chapter 42

Chapter 42 The Weird Informant

Driven by curiosity, Rega slowly supported his body.

  Without touching the wound, slowly move to the window.

 Looking down, it turned out that it was not a cuckoo singing.

But a short swordsman with brown curly hair.

Hirou put his hands to his mouth to imitate the call of the cuckoo, looking at the window of Rhaegar's room from the garden.

Rhaegar opened the glass window and shouted down: "Hey, why are you shouting so loudly in the middle of the night?"

 Seeing Rhaegar's appearance, Shiliu bowed and left the place without saying a word.

"Neuropathy!"

Rhaegar complained and closed the window.

But I was wondering if the nightmare just now was prophetic?

 What are you predicting?

 “No, why is Shiliu in the Red Castle?”

Rhaegar suddenly thought of Xiliu's origins and hurriedly shouted out the door: “Ilic, I have something to ask you.”

Crunch—

Elic pushed the door open and said respectfully: "What are your orders?"

Rhaegar said that he had just met Shiliu.

Ilic replied: "Hiliu won the duel championship in the tournament. He asked the king to stay in the Red Castle as a dancer, and he also swore to serve you."

 “Hiliu swears an oath to me?”

Rhaegar was confused for a moment, not knowing about the tourney.

Elic explained again and again, and then he understood that Xiliu wanted to be his swordsman teacher, so he stayed for this reason.

Rega was puzzled: "Since he got his wish, why did he bother me in the middle of the night? Could it be that he wanted to see me?"

"It's very possible, but it's getting late at night and it doesn't seem safe to see him alone."

 Elic was specially instructed by the king that Rhaegar and Xiliu were not allowed to have personal contact and must be on guard at all times.

Rhaegar thought the same thing.

 But the nightmare is lingering in my heart, and I always feel that it is related to Shiliu.

 After some hesitation, Rhaegar decided to see him.

“Sir, take me to the garden and see what he wants to do?”

　　Ilik rubbed the hilt of his sword, nodded and said: "Get on my back, prince."

Rhaegar did not refuse and was carried out by Ilic.

  No matter how quickly his injury healed, three days was still too short.

 It is all thanks to the help of Ilic to get some air when going out.

 Go down the stairs, avoid the hall where the servants are cleaning up, and walk into the small garden.

Hiriu waited under the weirwood tree.

As soon as the two parties met, Rhaegar couldn't wait to ask: "Xiliu, why are you looking for me late at night?"

Xiliu smiled brightly: "I'm sorry for bothering you late at night. It was really an accidental act that attracted my attention."

“Tell me, what did you see?”

Rhaegar became more and more certain that Shiliu was related to the nightmare.

Xiliu said: "After the banquet, I was wandering in the garden and happened to see two figures sneaking past."

“Who is it? Can you see his face clearly?”

Rhaegar was filled with doubts.

“A woman wearing linen clothes and a ragged hat, but with a beautiful face that I will never mistake, is your sister, Princess Rhaenyra.”

Xiliu described the image of the two people and mentioned: "The other one has a tall and tall figure, and there is a vague sense of familiarity. If I remember correctly, Prince Daemon left the banquet before..."

 Speaking of this, Xiliu said no more.

  But the meaning has been expressed very clearly.

Rhaenyra and Daemon sneak out of the Red Keep.

Rhaegar frowned and looked at Shiliu carefully.

Rhaenyra and Daemon have a good relationship, and everyone in the Red Keep knows this.

Rhaenyra had idolized her uncle as a child.

Damon also dotes on this niece very much. He brings her gifts every time he goes out and shows great love to her.

It's not a big deal for the two of them to sneak out.

Xiliu put his hands behind his back and kicked the stones beside his feet, as if he had something to hide.

Rega secretly said that it was indeed the case, and said bluntly: "Tell me, is there anything else?"

Xiliu confessed: "I asked Prince Damon's attendant and he booked a suite at the brothel on Silk Street tonight."

Rhaegar was stunned on the spot and stared at Shiliu in confusion.

The second half of his sentence echoed over and over in my mind.

 “The brothel, the house, Daemon and... Rhaenyra?”

Young Rhaegar's brain suddenly shut down and he guessed a possible violation of ethics.

Although for the Targaryen family, this possibility has long been familiar.

 But Damon can't do it!

That guy seems to be up to no good at first sight. Ilik spoke at the right time: "Prince, this matter is extremely important. I think it is time to inform His Majesty the King."

This thing is too bad.

As an uncle, Prince Daemon seduced his niece Princess Rhaenyra to stay in a brothel. This is a serious treason.

 “Wait, don't alarm my father yet.”

Rhaegar immediately objected, not wanting to bring this matter up to his father now.

 An angry father can easily cause a scene.

Whether this succeeds or not, Rhaenyra's reputation will be damaged.

 It will inevitably cause a sensation.

With his brain running rapidly, Rhaegar looked at Shiliu and asked, "How long have the two of them been out?"

 “About half an hour.”

Hiliu thought for a while and said.

"Are you sure you saw my sister? It doesn't matter if you see wrong with your eyes, but if you say wrong with your mouth, it will kill you!"

Rhaegar was still a little in disbelief.

Xiliu solemnly said: "I swear to the old and new gods that I am absolutely right."

“That's good, don't make this matter public, understand?”

Rhaegar is full of threatening implications.

Xiliu nodded, bowed and left.

 His purpose has been achieved, and it is useless to stay here any longer.

Rhaegar stared at the weirwood in front of him. The strange face on the tree trunk was weeping blood, which seemed to overlap with the blood in the nightmare.

Xiliu's appearance was too sudden.

 But he had no time to think carefully about his purpose.

 He must go to Rhaenyra.

“Sir, let's leave immediately to find my sister.”

Rhaegar couldn't wait a moment and wanted to find Rhaenyra without anyone noticing.

The Red Keep is not close to the Silk Street, and Rhaenyra had just slipped away for half an hour before everything was too late.

Ilic frowned and said, "It's a very important matter. If we just look for it, it's like finding a needle in a haystack."

"It doesn't matter. I heard Rhaenyra say that Daemon has a stake in the largest brothel on Silk Street, and he will definitely go there."

Rhaegar said sternly: "Damon is plotting evil against my sister. We must stop him in time."

“Yes, Prince, it seems that we need to solve the problem before things get too big.”

Elic carried Rhaegar on his back and started to walk out.

Hearing his words, an idea flashed in Rega's mind, and he vaguely realized that something was fishy.

 “Wait, Sir!”

Rhaegar immediately stopped and collected his thoughts.

Hiliu is by no means a trustworthy person.

He suddenly appeared to inform. On the surface, he was showing his kindness to Rhaegar, but secretly, he might have some plans.

Rhaegar felt that he had to think carefully and sort out the mess of thoughts.

Daemon's seduction of Rhaenyra does not seem to be a lie.

Daemon has always coveted the throne. If he could capture Rhaenyra's heart, he would become the king's wife.

　　 can return to the center of power, and even sideline Rhaenyra as the heir.

Hiliu's act of informing is tentatively considered to be a sign of goodwill to Rhaegar.

 Be able to gain Rhaegar's trust.

So what role should Rhaegar play in this matter?

Did the misunderstanding child tell his father, which aroused the king's wrath and ordered Daemon to be arrested?

 Or in the name of her sister's innocence, sneak out of the Red Keep and look for Rhaenyra?

Even pretending not to know, hiding the matter, and waiting for things to get serious?

　　“Yes, make things bigger! Some people want to make this thing bigger, the better.”

Rhaegar suddenly realized that he had a sinister intention.

　　Whether you tell your father or look for it yourself secretly.

As long as someone is willing to spread it, this matter will definitely become a big deal and ruin Rhaenyra's reputation.

If you turn a blind eye, you are playing into Daemon's heart.

 At this thought, Lei Jia was enlightened and smelled the breath of conspiracy.

Rhaenyra wanted to search, but not in a big way.

 “We have to find a way to divert everyone's attention!”

After reading yesterday's reader feedback, there is a lot of controversy about the relationship between Rhaenyra and the protagonist.

The author made in-depth reflections and pursued too much details in the play.

As a result, some chapters are too misleading and the wording is not rigorous.

   Replace some inappropriate words and sentences.

Chapters like this will never appear in the future.
