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

Chapter 154 Dragon Prince

“Your Majesty, the point was made by the prince.”

Colliss’s voice was low, thinking about the pros and cons of this move for the family.

Hearing this, Viserys looked at his eldest son and said sternly: "Rhaegar, what do you think?"

 Long ago, he realized that the eldest son valued the dragon.

 Whether it is controlling the Dragon Lair or the ongoing reforms of the Dragon Lair, it is enough to see this.

 He believed that there must be a better solution when Rhaegar proposed the ownership of the dragon.

 “Ahem…”

Rhaegar cleared his throat and said thoughtfully: "Father, you are familiar with the history of the Free Fortress of Old Valyria, and you should know how the forty dragon king families fought endlessly."

“Of course, the major families fight openly and secretly, and the powerful bully the weak.”

 Viserys's eyes darkened, and the terrifying power described in the book came to his mind.

At its peak, there were more than a thousand dragons, and the entire continent of Essos surrendered to the feet of Old Valyria.

 You can imagine how fierce the fight between them was.

“This is exactly what I want to say, the dragon brings improvement to a surname and a family.”

Rhaegar glanced at everyone and said with determination: "After the catastrophe, there is only one dragon king family left in Westeros and the entire world, and that is the Targaryen."

 The topic of the Dragon King's bloodline came out, and the imperial meeting fell into silence.

Dragon is a magical creature with supernatural powers.

No family can ignore the Targaryen dragons and their unique dragon king bloodline.

 Among the ministers present, Tailan has the most say in this matter.

When Rhaenyra was still the crown prince, Tyran and her brother Jace Lannister each launched a fierce pursuit of her.

 One is for the rights that come with Rhaenyra’s identity.

 The second is to add dragon king blood to the family, so that the descendants can tame the dragon like Velaryon.

“Prince, my wife Rhaenys is a legitimate Targaryen princess, and my children have Targaryen blood.”

 After a moment of silence, Corliss spoke slowly.

 He was afraid that Rhaegar would say that he would deprive his children of the right to ride dragons.

Velaryon's strength is not only due to the sea fleet, but also to the deterrent power of the three dragons.

 “Lord Corliss, please don’t be impatient, the prince has yet to finish his words.”

Maester Melos held his hands in his sleeves as a reminder of the presence of the old god.

Colliss glanced at him, a flash of disgust in his eyes.

He hates the bachelors in the city, a group of self-righteous guys who only study.

“Rhaegar, since you mentioned the uniqueness of House Targaryen, how do you deal with House Velaryon?”

 Viserys was deeply puzzled.

 Can't we take back the dragon forcefully?

Even so, we should wait until the war is over.

Rather than breaking up with the sea snake before the war started, they lost an important ally.

 “Father, please be patient.”

Rhaegar gave him a comforting look and continued: "Targaryen has only one surname, but the blood of the Dragon King will continue to flow out with marriages."

 “Women will always marry outside, this is unstoppable.”

Rhaenys frowned.

 “Then make restrictions!”

Rhaegar said loudly: "I propose that a seat be added to the Royal Council to deal with issues such as weddings, funerals, and the education of heirs and members of the Targaryen family."

 “What’s the use of this?”

Viserys was even more confused.

 Management of family members has always been the right of the patriarch.

 He is the king and the head of House Targaryen.

  Setting up a royal seat to manage family members is not dividing their rights.

“Father, my great-grandfather had twelve children in his life. How many are still alive now?”

Rhaegar asked rhetorically.

　Viserys was speechless for a moment. Jaehaerys was a wise king, but the second half of his life was very difficult.

 The two sons Aemon and Belron, who were elected heirs, died in infancy one after another.

 Several daughters also died in childbirth or died of injuries.

There are also several disobedient sons and daughters who are extremely naughty and have left their hometowns.

If not all of these uncles and aunts were left, Viserys would not have a chance to become king.

 Suddenly, Viserys fell into deep thought.

 The Targaryen line has never flourished.

 Aegon the Conqueror had no brothers, only a pair of sisters.

 He had two sons in his life, one of whom succeeded him died early.

 A rebel killed his nephew and died on the Iron Throne.

 After three kings, Jaehaerys I succeeded to the throne and had twelve children.

Heaven did not go as he wished, and not a single one of the twelve Targaryens remained.

 In Viserys's generation, there is only one brother Daemon and cousin Rhaenys.

Suddenly, Viserys was startled, and a ridiculous idea came to him.

“Can my six children grow up safely?”

 Suddenly, Viserys' scalp felt numb and he couldn't help but sit up straight.

Looking at the eldest son with earnest eyes, he swallowed and asked: "Rhaega, your proposal is good, but how should the new imperial seat manage the outflow of blood?"

 “Simple, the Targaryens have a brief family history, and every member is recorded.”

Rhaegar said bluntly: "Female members marry outside, and their children are identified by their surnames to determine whether they are qualified to hatch dragon eggs and tame dragons."

Either the surname is Targaryen or the father's surname.

 There is a dragon in Targaryen, but there is no dragon in the father's surname.

 “Westeros has always followed the father’s surname.” Corliss’ expression suddenly changed.

 “The dragon comes from Old Valyria!”

Rhaegar remained calm and said: "In my new position, I am called the Dragon Prince. If the newborn follows a Targaryen surname, he will be raised by the royal family and will be given dragon eggs and the qualification to train dragons."

“And, for each married family, only one direct newborn can bear the Targaryen surname.”

 Two key rules.

 One adds royal blood, the surname and the environment in which the baby was raised will completely integrate the newborn into the Targaryens.

 The second is to avoid the crazy birth of children between married families and Targaryen daughters, and use the population to negate the rights of the royal family.

“Prince, your conditions are too harsh. According to your wishes, both Lannar and Lannir will change their surnames to Targaryen!”

 Colliss had a sullen face and suppressed his emotions.

 The so-called dragon princes, the first one to be restricted is the Velaryon family.

"Lord Corlys, please understand that dragons never belonged to Velaryon."

Rhaegar retorted unceremoniously and said: "Lanar and Lannino's qualifications to control dragons were given by my great-grandfather and father. I will not deprive them of their surnames and dragons."

“But when the position of Dragon Prince is established, the Targaryens must unite and not allow the emergence of a second Dragon King family!”

 The one who is restricted is the Velaryon family.

The Targaryens now have only three dragon-riders, and Velaryon has the same number.

 Who is the real Dragon King family?

“Prince, Lannino is not married yet. Are his children qualified to change their surname?”

Hearing that a pair of children had been bypassed, Corliss calmed down a little and still fought for heirs.

 “It doesn’t have it!”

Rhaegar told the truth and said frankly: "Lagnor is the son of Aunt Rhaenys. Unless he can marry a Targaryen again, his children will only be pure Velaryans."

 This must be clearly stated.

 If you want to change your surname, you can only have direct bloodline from a Targaryen member.

I changed it again and again, thought about it again and again, but I felt it was shortcomings.
