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

Chapter 153 Pre-war deployment

Rhaegar persuaded softly, seeing this clearly.

 He is the crown prince of the kingdom and controls the adult dragon Glutton.

If he doesn't go to the battlefield, should his sister Rhaenyra or his brother Aegon take the lead?

 This cowardly act will make him the laughing stock of the seven powers.

Only by actively requesting military service, making meritorious deeds on the battlefield, and spreading word of mouth among the soldiers of the seven major kingdoms can the majesty of the royal family be restored.

 Accumulate reputation for inheriting the Iron Throne in the future.

 “You have grown up and have your own ideas.”

Everything the eldest son said was true. Viserys couldn't think of any loopholes to refute, and he was filled with emotions for a while.

If Balerion had not died of old age, he might have fought on the battlefield and become a king with military exploits.

Looking at Corliss, Viserys gritted his teeth and decided: "The royal family will send two dragons to follow you to defend the Stepstone Islands."

 “Two dragons?”

Corliss was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously looked at Rhaenyra behind the king.

 Does the king want to send the princess to the battlefield?

"No! Rhaenyra is my daughter, and I would not put her in danger under any circumstances."

Viserys denied his guess and said firmly: "I have four sons, two of whom have tamed dragons, and they will all represent the royal family in battle."

 “Prince Aegon?”

 Corliss frowned and looked at his wife Rhaenys.

 In their impression, Aegon was just a confused young man.

 The dragon he controls is not an adult dragon either.

The contribution of such a young man of noble birth on the battlefield may be far less than the thought that his superiors spent on him.

Viserys was determined and said: "Rhaegar is going to war, and as his brother, Aegon must help."

 In fact, he did not want his eldest son Rhaegar to fight alone on the battlefield.

The second son Aegon rides the dragon together on the expedition, and at least he can block the secret arrows for the eldest son Rhaegar at the critical moment.

 In his mind, the other three sons combined are not as important as the eldest son.

Colliss could probably guess what he was thinking, and agreed: "Okay, one more dragon will reduce the casualties of many soldiers."

 The problem of second sons causing harm to the country is not unknown in history.

Since the eldest son is going to war, it is better for the second son to follow him, so as to avoid some insidious people from causing trouble in the rear.

Rhaenyra remained quiet throughout the whole process, silently listening to the men's discussion.

 Honestly, she wanted to follow Rhaegar on the battlefield.

 She also has a dragon, and she is not an ordinary woman who cannot restrain a chicken.

 Rega was a little helpless.

He didn't want Aegon to go to the battlefield. The boy was not this material.

After all, he is his younger brother. When he gets to the battlefield, he has to take care of him to prevent the silly boy from being shot off the dragon's back by the scorpion crossbow.

 “Lord Corliss, how many dragons does your family plan to send?”

Viserys asked directly with burning eyes.

He sent two sons, and Velaryon also had three dragons. The number of dragons participating in the battle could only be more than him, not less.

Colliss hesitated for a moment, ignored his wife's fighting eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, Lannar has just given birth, and Vhagar is still wandering in the Narrow Sea and cannot participate in the war."

Viserys tapped his fingers on the table, unmoved.

“I will lead Weimund and Lannino to guard the Stepstone Islands, while Rhaenys needs to stay on the Tidal Head Island to take charge of family affairs and patrol the throat.”

Corliss recounted the situation and confessed: "All the men of my family will go to the battlefield, but there will be only one dragon."

 That is the sea smoke that Lanino controls.

Viserys's face turned dark when he heard this, and he stared at Corliss unkindly.

 He was ruthless and sent both of his sons to the battlefield.

The sea snake wanted to hide his wife and daughter away with just a few words.

His lips moved a few times. Viserys wanted to curse the sea snake, but thought about it and held it back.

  He refused to let his daughter go to war because Rhaenyra was a woman.

Rhaenys and Lannal are not only women, one has to take charge of the family, and the other has just given birth.

It is indeed difficult to force two people to go to the battlefield.

 “Lord Corlys, have you asked Aunt Rhaenys for her opinion?”

Rhaegar spoke suddenly, his eyes rolling over Corlys and Rhaenys. Lannar was the bridge between the two families, and she should have lived in the Red Keep and raised her children honestly.

Rhaenys is no ordinary woman, and the Melias she controls is an adult dragon.

 One man and one dragon are a rare and important fighting force on the battlefield.

Rhaenys looked ugly when Corliss said these words.

 Evidently it was due to Corliss's dictatorship.

Facing the inquiry, Corliss insisted: "If Rhaenys doesn't stay on Tidehead Island, who will take care of my family?"

He himself did not mention that his brother Weimund and his eldest son Lannino both went to the battlefield.

 Always leave a person in charge to manage the rear.

Rhaegar ignored his sophistry and asked Rhaenys, "Auntie, what do you mean?"

 He believed that his aunt did not want to hide behind the scenes.

  Controlling dragons and killing enemies is the great deed that the uncrowned queen should do.

 For a moment, the eyes of everyone present fell on Rhaenys.

 Colliss tilted his head as if he didn't care about his wife's answer.

“Colliss’s proposal is for the overall good, and as a wife, I support him.”

Rhaenys’s expression remained unchanged, and she changed her tone and said: “Personally, I look forward to riding a dragon to fight in wars and defeat the pirates of the Three Women Kingdom.”

As he spoke, he looked at Viserys and said seriously: "Cousin, Tidal Head Island needs a Velaryon to be in charge. My daughter can complete her duties. It is not difficult."

 “Rhaenas!”

 Collis was startled when he heard this and turned his head in surprise.

He and his wife had already discussed that Rhaenys would go to the battlefield as an excuse to return Lanner and the child to Shitou Island in exchange.

 If possible, even redeem Damon and let him go to the battlefield to make up for the demerit.

Viserys was slightly startled and frowned in confusion.

 Do they have a disagreement?

Rhaenyra vaguely knew the reason and looked at Rhaegar in surprise.

Rhaegar winked at her and smiled: "Lord Corlys, Aunt Rhaenys has always had a heart to serve her country."

 He had told Rhaenys that he would get her a position on the council.

 Now is the time to deliver on our promises.

"Father, when we were on Tidehead Island, I discussed with Aunt Rhaenys to adopt some reforms based on the ownership rights of the dragons held by the Targaryen and Velaryon families."

Rhaegar said extremely seriously.

 The question of the ownership of the dragon is too important.

 If one of them is not handled well, it will trigger civil strife between the two families and even more blood descendants.

Viserys narrowed his eyes and said forcefully: "Oh, the dragon has always belonged to Targaryen. Is there any dispute about this?"

 The dragons of House Velaryon are of Targaryen origin.

During the reign of Jaehaerys, Rhaenys married Corlys and brought the first dragon to Tidehead Island.

　　A son and a daughter were subsequently born, and when Rhaenys and Viserys were fighting over the inheritance issue, Jaehaerys did not stop Lannino from going to Dragonstone to tame the sea smoke.

Lannar was 15 years old when she tamed Vhagar.

At that time, Viserys saw that the other party was of Rhaenys's blood, and felt guilty for refusing to marry her, so he acquiesced in Lannar's taming of Vhagar.

But this does not mean that he agrees that the ownership of the dragon belongs to Velaryon.

In the original work, it was not Rhaenys who competed with Viserys for the right to be the heir, but the male Laninor.

This is also the reason why the sea snake is trying so hard to win.

Perhaps it was also because Laninor was eligible for inheritance that Jaehaerys agreed to let him tame the sea smoke.

Lanner doesn’t know.

　　　Perhaps it was Viserys who gave him some wisdom, or maybe it was due to the fact that Lannar had Targaryen blood.

In short, the protagonist wants to regain his power and avoid similar things from happening.

Ha

I wonder how many married families will own dragons and be as arrogant as sea snakes.
