Game of Thrones: I became a crown prince for a day.

Chapter 517 Black Swan and White Maggots

Rhaegar left the dragon's lair, and a long-awaited reunion was taking place in the tower.

……

A curved conference room with simple decoration style.

Rainier wore a black long dress with a flying dragon ornament strung together with gold threads on her chest, and a faint smile on her pretty face.

With her hands placed in front of her belly, her noble demeanor shows her queenly style.

crunch--

The hall door opened, and two white knights stood guard dutifully.

"Rhaenyra, long time no see!"

Lannar looked excited and strode in with her arms open.

Rainier pursed her lips slightly and cooperated in the hug.

Taking a closer look, I saw that my friend looked exhausted and was wearing red leather armor.

It looks like he just came back from outside.

Lanar kissed her cheek and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, the slave ships in Slave Bay have become more and more rampant recently. I was unable to welcome you last night."

Rees implemented the Tower system.

That is, it is a semi-monarchical and semi-parliamentary decision-making system with one queen and three members of parliament.

The disadvantage is that the parliamentarians share the queen's power, which can easily lead to her being sidelined.

The advantage is that it is very friendly to people like Rhaenyra who have not received systematic training in the concept of governing a country and who are hands-off bosses who have lived in King's Landing all year round.

Rega helps with major decision-making, while minor issues are left to the councillors to handle.

As one of the councilors appointed by House Velaryon, it is Lanar's job to ride dragons and maintain the waterways.

Rainier naturally understood and said generously, "It's okay. I've prepared a welcoming banquet for you."

He ordered the White Knight outside the door to go down and notify them, and the two sat next to each other at the conference table.

Lannar was still immersed in the dragon-riding battle, her delicate olive face glowing red.

Rhaenyra did not forget why she came here. She took her friend's hand and said seriously, "What are you going to do, Lanar?"

Lannar was stunned for a moment, and her expression gradually became depressed.

Rhaenyra remained quiet, patiently waiting for her friend to think it over.

Her feeling for Lannar's experience doesn't mean she has lost her brain.

After all, this is Damon and Lanaer's private matter, and the couple can talk about it openly or closed the door.

She couldn't help without Lannar's assurance.

I believe Lannar also understands this.

After a while, during which Rhaenyra had finished two glasses of sake, Laenaar finally spoke:
"I don't know what to do with that unborn baby, but that little Mrs. May has to pay."

After these words were spoken, it was as if a huge stone had been lifted from my heart.

All the fatigue from days of patrolling was swept away.

Upon hearing this, Rhaenyra released her friend's hand and lowered her voice: "You plan to kill the mother and keep the child?"

Lanar nodded solemnly, "The fault lies with Damon and Madam Xiaomei. I don't want to embarrass an unborn child."

She was also a mother who nearly died in the delivery bed.

I have an inexplicable pity for unborn children from the bottom of my heart.

"Lanar, you really gave me a difficult problem."

Rhaenyra pondered and said, "Have you ever thought about who would inherit the child if it was a boy?"

Let a bastard born of a prostitute inherit the Tyrosh that Daemon and Laenaer conquered together?
Even if Lannar agreed, the sea snake would not agree.

Lana was silent for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

She knew the consequences of giving birth to a boy if the maggots gave birth to him, and she hesitated for half a month before she could make up her mind.

Seeing this, Rhaenyra stopped asking questions and promised, "If these are all you ask, I can promise that I will share the pressure with you when you need it."

She could not and did not want to represent Rhaegar, but could help in a personal capacity.

If Lannar wants anything, Reese can mobilize all his resources.

"Thank you, Rhaenyra."

Lanar was deeply moved and gritted her teeth and said, "I will discuss the inheritance with Damon. If the discussion doesn't work out, it won't be too late to make a decision later."

Having received elite teachings from the Sea Serpent since childhood, she is not an indecisive person.

When it's time to uproot the weeds, be ruthless.

As soon as he finished speaking, the White Knight's voice rang out:
"Welcome, King Rhaegar I of House Targaryen, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm!"

With the sound of fists hitting breastplates, a figure appeared at the door.

Rhaenyra and Lanaar stood up in sync.

Rhaegar walked into the meeting room and looked at the two people in surprise: "Did I disturb you?"

"Hmph!" Rhaenyra snorted softly, with the corners of her lips curved.

The brother and sister agreed to meet Reese via letters in advance.

Lanar was an outsider at this time, so she saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty."

Rega smiled and waved his hands, saying that they were all acquaintances and there was no need to be so pretentious.

Except for the good uncle!
After taking their seats, Rega said, "I've seen Baelon and his men. Little Meka tamed Thrax, a dragon with great potential."

Rhaenyra said proudly, "Of course, let's see whose son he is."

Rhaegar thought it was hilarious, but tried hard to hold it in.

Rhaenyra mentioned casually: "On the way to Lys, several children have ridden dragons, only Baelon..."

Halfway through, it goes without saying.

As a mother, I worry that my eldest son will be a psychological burden.

Rhaegar smiled and said, "We've talked about it. It'll be fine."

The eldest son inherited his perseverance and has his own ideas.

Rhaenyra nodded slightly, knowing that Rhaegar had better solutions than she did.

Watching the brother and sister communicate, Lannar felt very uncomfortable and found an opportunity to interrupt: "Your Majesty, the Tiger Party councillor stationed in Rees of Volantis secretly left. It can be judged that Volantis has signed an alliance with Slaver's Bay."

"How's it going?"

Rhaegar said seriously.

Laena replied truthfully: "The ships of Slaver's Bay blockade the Sea of ​​Smoke, forming a line of defense with Volantis that cuts off the Disputed Lands from the Summer Sea."

Block the waterway and cut off trade.

It has been a key part of naval warfare since ancient times.

Rhaegar had a general idea and said majestically, "Troops from all over the place are being mobilized, and the kingdom will find a chance to go to war with them."

"I'll take my leave first." Lannar breathed a sigh of relief and turned to walk out.

Three people became two, and the conference room suddenly seemed empty.

Rhaegar held his chin with his hands and admired Rhaenyra's beauty with contentment.

He wanted to see what his dear sister had to say to him.

Rhaenyra took a sip of her sake and coughed softly. "Did you encounter any danger when you caused trouble for Braavos?"

There is no way to sit in the hall if it is dangerous.

Just looking for something to talk about.

Rhaegar smiled and said, "The Sea King is generous and lent me a lot of gold dragons."

At this time, Helena was checking the receipts in Mill.

The money was too much to be raised all at once, so half of it had to be mortgaged with goods.

Upon hearing this, Rainier nodded in a trance.

Of course, this was not what she wanted to ask.

But speaking suddenly made even siblings feel a little embarrassed.

Rhaenyra quietly opened her eyes, bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and whispered, "Rhaenyra asked me for help, and the bottom line is Rhaenyra's inheritance rights."

"So?" Rhaegar asked knowingly.

Rhaenyra couldn't stand it anymore, rolled her eyes, and said frankly: "Damon is a bastard, but Bella and Rhaenyra are my adopted daughters. At least I can ensure that their rights are not shaken."

"Uh……"

Rhaegar was speechless: "The two sisters are in different situations. Daemon has the right to give birth to another male heir."

Rhaena was adopted into the House of Velaryon and was nominally the daughter of Laenor.

There are no male descendants in the Sea Snake lineage, so it is the rightful right for them to inherit Chaotou Island.

Damon can still have children, and the heir can change at any time.

"Rhaegar!" Rhaenyra gritted her teeth and said unwillingly: "Benelar is my adopted daughter, and also your daughter. We must protect her."

When Rega heard the word "daughter", his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said indifferently: "I have daughters, and three of them."

Rhaenyra was suddenly speechless, her expression showing guilt and frustration several times.

Rhaegar was expressing his dissatisfaction and was still brooding over her revenge on Jeyne.

As the conversation went on, the atmosphere became extremely awkward.

Rhaegar had been riding his dragon all the way and couldn't wait any longer: "I'll go wash up first."

It’s not that there is nothing to say, but it’s just that opinions conflict.

He wanted to use the fact that the white maggot was pregnant to stir up a conflict between Daemon and the sea snake.

Weakening the influence of both parties and ultimately strengthening the centralization of power on the Iron Throne.

Once the war against Volantis begins, they will launch a thundering strike against the opposition in the valley.

Thoughts and emotions, clear goals.

Helping Lannar and Benilla to fight for interests will only be a thankless task and cause trouble.

If things go wrong, Damon and the sea snake will make things worse.

As a participant, Rega would be very embarrassed.

Rhaenyra was speechless and nodded silently.

She understood that Rhaegar was right.

Staying away from the storm is the best choice.

She just wanted to protect Lannar and Benilla, and she couldn't stand the third party, White Maggot.

"See you later." Rhaegar spoke again.

"Okay!" Rainier smiled.

Watching Rega walk to the door, his tall figure suddenly stopped.

Rhaegar thought about it and decided not to offend Rhaenyra. After all, she had finally opened her mouth.

"I can't do anything about Benilla's inheritance, but I can ensure that Lannar will not be treated unfairly."

During the siege of Tyrosh, the pregnant Laena rode Vhagar into the battle.

As a result, a stillborn baby was born.

Rhaegar had a plan, but he didn't want to hurt this kind woman who was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside.

If necessary, you can kill the white maggot Xiaomei and adopt the posthumous child to Lannar to raise.

Anyway, Damon just needs a son.

Hearing this, Rainier was very surprised.

However, Lannar's original idea coincided with Rhaegar's.

Rhaenyra pursed her lips and smiled, whispering, "That's it."

……

Rhaegar left and returned to the room shared by his sister and brother to wash up.

Rhaenyra sat in a chair, playing with the goblet.

Soon, two graceful figures, one big and one small, walked out of the secret door of the conference hall.

"Rhaena!"

Benilla's eyes were full of grievance, and she rushed over, shouting her adoptive mother's name.

He threw himself into Rhaenyra's arms and rubbed his head against her thighs.

Renilla raised her eyes to look at the other person, and said unhappily, "Who told you to bring Bernilla here!?"

"I'm sorry, it was my own decision."

Johanna crossed her hands in front of her belly, maintaining an elegant ladylike appearance.

Rhaenyra was blunt: "You are the Grand Steward of Lys, and you have nothing to do?"

"It's about Miss Lanner."

Johanna looked regretful and said softly, "The white maggots are respectable opponents, but cautious maggots cannot be exposed to the sun."

The implication is that she has a way to deal with it.

Rainier's expression changed slightly, she covered Bernier's ears, and said sternly: "Get out! Leave now!"

The woman in front of me is so smart and always comes up with tempting ideas.

Johanna had no choice but to return through the secret door silently.

Ever since the last valley incident, the trust between the two began to break down.

There is no place to use the power.
