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

Chapter 523: Girls Are Not as Good as Widows

When the word "ally" was mentioned, the wound on my back began to ache.

The sea snake lost interest and said politely, "Your proposal is not perfect. I don't need to take the risk."

He formed an alliance with Daemon to capture Tyrosh, but Daemon turned around and occupied the city-state himself.

Just a few years later, even the future heir had to eliminate the Velaryon bloodline.

The same goes for Rhaegar on the Iron Throne.

Battle of the Stepstones, Narrow Sea War, Conquest of Dorne.

There was no war without the blood of Velaryon.

In the end, the royal family continued to grow, and Velaryon had no time to sleep in peace.

Lessons from the past, the teacher behind the car.

The sea snake didn't want to be a gambler at his old age.

"Lord Corliss, don't make rash decisions."

Aemond's expression remained calm, showing no trace of embarrassment at being rejected.

The sea snake frowned slightly, wondering what the other party was up to.

Ever since the second son came in, he has exuded an aura of determination to win.

It gives people an uncomfortable feeling of being manipulated.

Dang clang——

Aemond reached back and an axe hit the floor.

Instantly, the door guard rushed through the door, sword drawn in alert.

"go out!"

The sea snake frowned and said sarcastically, "This is a Targaryen prince, do you know that?"

When Rhaenys heard this, she rolled her eyes.

The guards looked at each other in confusion and left.

until this time,

The sea snake leaned forward and pulled out the short hand axe that was smacking the floor.

"what?"

At first glance, the sea snake's sharp eyesight instantly saw the clues.

The axe is about three feet long and has a standard lumberjack axe appearance.

It can be cut and chopped, and is strong and durable.

He usually chops trees and splits firewood, and when he encounters an enemy he uses an axe to kill them.

The sea snake observed it carefully, with a strange expression on its face, and confirmed: "Celtija's axe."

"Yes, a gift from Count Celtigar."

Emond picked up the axe, stared at it with his one eye, and said with emotion: "Such a divine weapon is hanging on the wall as a decoration. It is really covered with dust."

The axe is silver-gray all over, with clear ripple patterns on the surface, like a fine work of art.

Rhaenys's expression changed instantly, and she said in shock: "Celtigar's crab claw, that's a Valyrian steel axe!?"

Valyrian steel weapons, each one is a rare treasure.

Except for Rhaegardon who took out everything, many ancient families, including Velaryon, did not pass down anything to their descendants.

The sea serpent was more shocked than his wife.

The three ancient families, all from old Valyria, were exiled to Westeros, and they knew each other very well.

The Targaryens are born with two sides.

If you are not crazy, you must be great.

House Velaryon is loyal and reliable, with a fearless fighting spirit.

Only the Celtigar family.

Many people in this family have a shrewd calculation in their minds and are good at weighing the pros and cons and making careful decisions.

When the exile Aenar migrated to Westeros, the current Celtigar chieftain made the boldest choice and sold his ancestral property to follow him.

However, a family that is good at calculating will obviously not be welcomed by others.

Therefore, Targaryens intermarried with Velaryons for generations, but rarely chose Celtigar as their partners.

Looking at the Valyrian steel weapon he had always dreamed of, the sea snake regained consciousness after a long time and asked solemnly: "What conditions did you offer to get this axe in your hands?"

Aemond smiled. "An offer equal to Velaryon's, and an engagement to be won."

"what!"

Rhaenys approached quickly, and asked incredulously, "You broke your engagement to Cassandra Baratheon and married a daughter of Celtigar instead?"

“It’s not a wise choice.”

The sea snake took a deep breath and disagreed.

As the Duchess of Storm's End, Cassandra has the power to command the entire Stormlands.

If the sea serpent gave up this engagement for an unknown Volantis, he could only regard the other party as an arrogant idiot.

"You're wrong, aunt."

Aemond looked at the excited Rhaenys and explained with a smile: "Admittedly, I am not interested in your stupid niece."

"But I will still abide by the marriage agreement."

Rhaenys was completely stunned.

Aemond turned his head away and said, "I will marry Cassandra as promised and take over the loyalty of the nobles of the Stormlands."

Of course, he didn't dare to break the contract.

If he dared to do that, Rhaegar would break a leg.

"To be honest, maybe I'm too old to understand what young people are saying."

Rhaenys looked confused and retreated back to her husband's side.

My nephew's words almost made my brain crash.

Sea snakes are different.

His eyes became sharp and stared straight at Emond.

Aemond shrugged. "If I get Volantis, I can take another wife."

"Boy, Damon is not a good role model!"

The sea snake's face was gloomy and his tone was full of warning.

What Damon did has become a thorn in his heart.

Aemond didn't care and continued to win people's hearts and minds: "Through cordial conversation, I have gained the support of Celtigar. With the influence of the Baratheon family, it is enough to fight a good battle."

The sea serpent sneered: "I don't believe that Bartimos and his son would be so stupid."

“The fact is, they said yes.”

Aemond looked the other in the eye and swung the axe in a circle as if to prove something.

He did say a lot of words to win over Celtigar.

But the effect was not good, so he used the fire-breathing trick that only sheep thieves would use.

Setiga agreed obediently and reluctantly gave away his family heirloom axe - Crab Claw.

The sea snake said no more, thinking that the one-eyed boy might have used a series of threats and inducements on Celtigar.

Bartimos, that cunning old crab, might really have offended greed.

"So, what's your decision?"

Aemond's eyes burned as he waited for a new ally to join.

"impossible!"

The sea snake snorted coldly and said sharply: "Targaryen men are not trustworthy."

Imond was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the always ambitious old sea snake would refuse so straightforwardly.

After a moment's hesitation, he changed the subject with the intention of winning her over: "I received Damon's wedding invitation."

"So what?" The sea snake was angry about this and didn't want to talk any more.

Aemond's eyes flickered, and he said slowly: "To be honest, White Maggot is just a bitch and has no right to marry into the royal family."

"Just say what you want to say," the sea snake said impatiently.

"Let's make a pact, and I'll help you solve your problems."

A hint of viciousness flashed in Emond's eyes, and he said concisely: "As long as the white maggots die, all difficulties will be solved."

A bitch, dead is dead.

Who knows it was him who did it.

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the sea snake and Rhaenys changed drastically.

"Nonsense, who do you think I am?"

The sea snake felt insulted and ordered him to leave: "One-Eye! Without the king's order, you can leave now."

If you want to kill the white maggots, there's no need for a young boy to step forward.

He is the lord of the tide, and noble salt blood flows in his veins.

The other party's behavior shows that they simply don't take it seriously.

But as a dog that any Targaryen could summon and dismiss at will.

After the rage, the temperature in the hall dropped to zero degrees.

Imond stared at the sea snake for a while, then stood up silently.

Without saying a word, he strode away.

The sea snake seemed to realize that it was too emotional, and added: "Your dragon can eat and drink enough before flying. The guards will feed it enough cattle and sheep."

"No, sir."

Aemond's voice was calm but cold, and he strode out with an axe in hand.

……

in the corridor.

Emond's face turned pale and he walked faster and faster.

If the attempt to win over the enemy fails, the plan will be shelved.

Although he had good intentions, he was scolded by the sea snake instead.

Since the other party is unwilling to join forces, don't blame him for being rude.

It just so happened that he had promised Setiga to marry another wife, so he might as well support Damon's marriage to White Maggot and pave the way for his future.

"Prince, please wait a moment."

Suddenly, a maid called out from behind. Aemond pretended not to hear and quickly turned a corner.

The maid was very anxious. She trotted to catch up and said quickly, "Princess Rhaenys asked me to tell you that it's getting late. You can stay in the castle to recuperate for one night."

The sea serpent drove Aemond away in an impulse.

Rhaenys knew her nephew had no ill intentions and was just trying to win her over.

After Emond left, she talked to her husband to resolve the situation.

Aemond was disdainful and sneered, "The sincerity of a prince cannot be redeemed by a meal or a night's sleep."

Compared to him, my aunt is very insincere.

After all, this is Velaryon's Tidehead, not Targaryen territory.

After saying that, he raised his foot and walked into the corner.

At first glance, I bumped into a soft and delicate body.

"what!"

The woman cried out softly and stepped back in panic.

Before Emond could see her face clearly, the other party hurried away, picking up her skirt.

Glancing back,
She had long braided silver-gold hair, a light yellow corseted dress, and a petite figure.

The side of her face was slightly exposed, her skin was as white as milk and had a few freckles.

Emond was distracted for a moment and almost mistook her for his sister Helena.

Until the other person ran away, he grabbed the maid's hand and couldn't help asking: "Who is she?"

Sea serpents don't seem to have nieces waiting to get married.

The maid trembled and said honestly, "It's Madam Celine."

"Celine..."

Aemond's eyes sparkled as he murmured, "The widow of Laninor, daughter of Celtigar."

He remembered.

Many years ago, Lannino attended a dinner party with his newlywed wife.

A wife who is not beautiful.

Probably, around twenty years old.

"Prince, can I leave now?"

The maid was terrified and begged with tears in her eyes.

Emond was not interested in her and smiled, "No hurry, take me to find a guest room first. I can't let my aunt down."

"what?"

The maid was stunned.

"Find me a guest room, don't you understand?"

Aemond was somewhat moody. He shook off the clumsy maid and said without even turning his head, "Don't worry about me. I'll just walk around the castle."

……

Valley, Eagle's Nest.

Seven slender white towers of varying heights form the overall appearance of this steep castle.

"Hiss-"

A giant black dragon came flying at high speed, leaping over the towering Giant's Spear and circling around the Eagle's Nest.

The huge body fell down and disappeared into the rolling sea of ​​clouds.

The pitch-black dragon wings spread out like a sickle, cutting through the rushing waterfall named Alessa's Tears.

……

Maiden's Tower.

puff-

A small door sprang open, as if violently broken in by a wild boar.

"Giggle..."

After a series of magpie-like laughter, a little girl with a bright smile ran out.

She has short chestnut hair that hangs down to the ears, big black eyes, and skin that reflects the white light under the sun.

"Jansif, stop chasing me."

The little girl was not tall. She was wearing an orange short skirt and had a pair of short legs.

The fiery red curly-haired Jansif chased after him and threatened, "Stop, don't let me spank your little butt."

"No! No!"

The little girl trotted along, entering the back garden with lush vegetation as if she were familiar with the place.

boom--

It hit a pillar head-on, and its small nose turned red.

"Woo~~"

The little girl cried out in pain, her little feet kept moving back, and she muttered, "It hurts so much, my nose is crooked."

"really?"

A gentle voice sounded, and a tall figure blocked the sunlight above.

The little girl was stunned and looked up in surprise.

Enter the eyes,

A big brother with long silver-gold hair and an incredibly handsome appearance.

His eyes were smiling as he looked at her tenderly.

Diana tilted her head, clenched her hands into a ball, and pretended to be an adult: "Mud howl!"

But in my heart I was thinking, the silver hair and purple pupils, she looks like her sister.

Rhaegar leaned over and couldn't stop smiling: "Hello, little one."

"Yeah," the little girl nodded and fell silent.

His big eyes rolled around, as if he was thinking about what the adults said after they greeted each other.

"Little guy, do you remember who I am?"

Rega looked at her with delight, wishing he could touch the little girl's furry head right away.

The little girl is very pretty, and her conflicted expression is so adorable.

He was only above his knees and didn't look to be more than three or four years old.

"do not remember!"

The little girl raised her face, looked at Lei Jia seriously, and said crisply: "Do you remember who I am?"

"of course."

Rhaegar couldn't hold back any longer, he reached out and pulled the little girl into his arms, chuckling, "You are Lyanna, Lyanna Targaryen."

Lyanna's eyes widened immediately, and she asked curiously, "Do you know me?"

She said that she felt the other person looked familiar, and that she felt warm when he was held in her arms.

Lyanna looked around, put her head close to Rhaegar's ear, and asked in a low voice: "Who are you?"

Lei Jia smiled, feeling the breath beside his ear, his heart felt warm and a little sour.

The last time she set foot in the Eagle's Nest was on the little girl's two-year-old name day.

Children forget things quickly, even though it's been such a long time.

I can't recognize him.

Rhaegar held Lyanna's little hip in his arms and carried her to the main tower, saying, "We'll know when we meet your mother."

"Oh."

Lyanna didn't make a fuss and let Rhaegar hold her in his arms.

Looking at the flowers and plants passing by, a hint of intimacy flashed in his big eyes.

Tentatively, he slowly placed his head against Rhaegar's chest.

"what?"

Seeing that Rhaegar didn't react, Lyanna's eyes sparkled and she nodded her head happily.

She is like a little sun that warms people's hearts and always has a bright smile on her face.

Rhaegar looked at it again and again, feeling particularly cheerful.

Finally, he couldn't help but stretch out his big hands and rub the hairy head.

"Hum~"

Lyanna was like a spoiled kitten, raising her hands and waving them a few times in a pretentious manner.

……

Main tower, hall.

When Lei joined in, he happened to run into Jane Sifu who was in a hurry.

"Jansif, what are you doing?"

Lyanna poked her little head out and asked softly.

Zhan Sifu looked flustered, but soon calmed down: "Your Majesty, Madam Jenny is in the hall."

"What's your business?"

Rhaegar had a strange look in his eyes, wondering why he was so flustered when he saw him.

"It's okay. I was just looking for the little princess."

Janesfu answered fluently and glared at Lyanna.

"Hmph!~"

Lyanna snorted, put her arms around Rhaegar's neck, and ignored her stern adoptive mother.

Jen Sifu is bad and always controls her.

"Control your temper."

Rega found it funny and passed by Jansif and continued walking inside.

In the hall, at the main seat.

Jenny leaned her elbows on the armrest, her long chestnut hair hanging in front of her chest, her expression indescribably complicated.

The female companion Baolan was waiting below, holding an incubation container in her hand.

White smoke emerged in wisps, and a bronze dragon egg was placed in it.
