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

Chapter 120 Dragon Cave Reform

Jingle —

 The stone ball fell into the slot in front of him, indicating that the crown prince was ready and the royal meeting officially began.

Tai Lan was the first to speak and said seriously: "Your Majesty, after many years, the Three Women Kingdom is showing signs of making a comeback."

“According to the latest news, passing ships near the Stepstone Islands were intercepted by an unknown pirate group.”

Viserys looked grave and asked, "Are you sure this is the Kingdom of Three Women?"

“It’s not confirmed yet, but it’s almost certain.” Tailan shook his head.

“The pirates of the Three Women’s Kingdom are a serious threat to the kingdom. We must send more manpower to find out the information, so we should not underestimate them.”

Viserys sighed.

 He does not want war to break out in the kingdom, even on the Stepstone Islands far away overseas.

Tailan nodded in response, the report was over.

 The next one is Leonor.

The bloated Prime Minister put one hand on the desk and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the construction of the prince's palace for the prince has started, and the cost is not small."

 “It doesn’t matter, just pay it from the treasury.”

Viserys smiled and said to Rhaegar, "This is good news for you."

 “Thank you, father.”

Rhaegar sat back in his chair, smiling.

 The fiefdoms of the crown princes of all dynasties were Dragonstone Island.

To compensate Rhaenyra, Dragonstone became her fiefdom until her death.

 This resulted in Rhaegar not having his own fiefdom.

 After several years of negotiations, considering that the royal family will eventually branch out, both the crown prince and the prince should have a place to support them.

Viserys waved his hand and asked Rhaegar to choose a piece of territory to build the prince's palace.

 This project started at the beginning of this year.

 ��Limited by the fact that the location of the palace is far away from King's Landing, materials and manual screening also take time, and the construction has not officially started until now.

 Leonor has finished his report.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Linman Beesbury stood up slowly, holding a report in his hand. Why:

“Your Majesty, the prince has submitted a plan to rebuild the dragon’s lair. The cost is extremely high and I am unable to do it.”

 “Oh, let me see.”

 Viserys was confused, and Cole passed the report to him.

 Flipping through a few pages of paper, Viserys' face grew darker as he looked at it.

Until the last line of writing, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Lega, the Dragon's Cave is an important building of the royal family. It cost a lot to build. You actually want to demolish it and rebuild it?"

Rhaegar looked calm and said the countermeasure he had thought of for a long time: "Father, you also said that the dragon's lair is extremely important."

“The current dragon lair can only be used as a detention place, not a nest suitable for dragons to live in.”

“Demolishing the dragon’s lair and rebuilding a lair more suitable for the dragon will help the family raise the dragon.”

Rhaenyra raised her hands and said in support: "I agree!"

 “I don’t agree!”

Viserys interrupted sharply, with a sullen face and said angrily: "Look at your proposal. Just building a tower-like dragon's lair is not enough to consume all the stone materials of the entire royal territory. How much manpower and material resources does this require!?"

 Of course he knows the importance of the dragon's lair to the family.

 But he did not have a dragon, and he believed that power was the key to ruling the kingdom.

 The money required to rebuild the Dragon Cave can be seen on paper how huge it is, and the construction may not be completed even if the treasury is emptied.

Earl Linman spoke at the right time: "Your Majesty, the construction of the Prince's Palace has already cost a lot of money. If we want to rebuild the Dragon's Den, I am afraid that the kingdom's finances will not be able to operate."

As the finance minister, every gold coin in the treasury is his lifeblood.

 The old man wanted to take out a lot of gold coins from his money bag, which made the old man very distressed.

Tailan also raised his hand and said: "The situation on the Stepped Stone Islands is unknown, and it is necessary to ensure that the national treasury is full."

“Yes, I veto the prince’s proposal.”

 Jaspie raised his hand in opposition.

The imperial ministers denied it one after another. Viserys took a deep breath and finalized his decision: "Reject this plan. The country does not have that much money to waste."

 “Well, the kingdom is always short of money.”

Rhaegar was not discouraged when he was rejected and said: "The reconstruction of the dragon's lair can be postponed, but the reform plan must be passed."

The reform plan refers to increasing the number of dragon guards, dragon combat training, and reorganizing the research bachelor group... Rhaenyra turned her head and looked at him in surprise.

 While she was the crown prince, she was not qualified to sit on a chair.

Not to mention, the right to propose plans to the Imperial Council one after another.

Rhaenyra was suddenly aware of the gap between them.

 Looking at her brother's side face, Rhaenyra was distracted for a moment.

Rhaegar was no longer six years old, he had grown up.

Silver-gold shawl long hair, gloomy eyes set off by dark circles, a high nose bridge, and lips as thick as gel.

 With a tall and straight posture, a calm demeanor and a noble appearance.

I don't know how many noble ladies in the Wang Ling were fascinated by him because of accidents.

Suddenly, Rhaenyra’s earlobes turned red and she quickly turned her head.

 “Rhaegar is a grown man now.”

 Her heartbeat was a little faster, Rhaenyra murmured in her heart.

 No one paid attention to the princess's little thoughts.

 We conducted intense discussions on the Dragon Cave reform plan.

  Half an hour later.

 At the end of the discussion, Viserys made a decision and said: "Dragon's Lair can be reformed, but it must be done within its capabilities. If something goes wrong, stop it immediately."

 “As you command, father.”

　　Proposed to go through the trial, Rhaegar hugged his father, very grateful.

 He had no intention of passing the proposal to rebuild the Dragon's Lair from the beginning.

  Reform is his main purpose.

 The current Dragon Cave is still too weak and needs to be strengthened in all aspects.

Viserys felt helpless and squeezed his eldest son's arm. The muscles were strong and strong.

This gave him some comfort.

 A healthy and intelligent heir can make people feel happy just by being in front of them.

Viserys thought for a while and warned: "The dragon's lair is left to your own devices. After that, you will become the assistant of the ministers and learn how to manage the country."

 The eldest son is quite old.

 It would be overkill to only stay in the dragon's lair.

 It’s time to take over some political affairs and develop management skills early.

 “No problem, Father.”

Rhaegar understood his father's kindness and accepted it gladly.

 The dragon's lair matter was finalized, and the imperial meeting continued to discuss other political matters.

Rhaenyra has not been involved in government affairs for a long time and is not very interested in it.

She silently stood up from her chair, walked around the council table, and picked up the wine bottle placed on the fireplace.

 Walked to his father and poured a glass of wine.

 Then he poured wine for each minister one by one.

 The ministers nodded their thanks, and everything seemed to go back to a few years ago.

As a girl, Rhaenyra served as a cupbearer, observing government affairs and serving drinks.

Finally walking to Rhaegar's side, Rhaenyra felt nostalgic and skillfully lifted the flagon.

Rhaegar covered the wine glass first and moved it aside.

 He ​​raised his head, looked at Rhaenyra who was a little disappointed, and said warmly: "You are no longer the cupbearer."

I have to say that after passing through her girlhood, Rhaenyra’s appearance became more and more beautiful.

 It is worthy of the reputation of “Light of the Kingdom”.

Rhaenyra smiled: "Something has to be done."

 “Sit down, the meeting will end soon.”

Rhaga pulled her back to sit down again, and pushed the wine bottle to her father who drank it all in one gulp.
