Chapter 433 The Relics of the Dragonless One
Mrs. Alyssa's words turned the tide and brought great justice to her body.
The widow of a nobleman's second marriage has a very different status when she is pregnant with a child than when she is not pregnant with a child.
Especially since there is no male heir in High Court, if there is a boy in the belly, the natural heir will be.
Everyone discussed for a few words and decided on Lady Alyssa's regent status.
The attendant called the bachelor in the castle to take care of the new regent and return to his room to rest.
Margery's smile was stiff, and she felt uncomfortable staying where she was.
A great situation was lost to an unknown pregnancy.
If you don't say it sooner, you won't say it later, but at this time.
Rhaegar glanced sideways at her face and said calmly: "Keep an eye on her, don't let her get hurt, and don't let her come into contact with outsiders."
Margaery took a deep breath and nodded to show her understanding.
The overt and secret fighting within Highgarden came to an end, and it was the turn of the nobles of the Reach.
When there is a lord above his head, the title of Guardian of a Realm is the highest honor of the nobility.
The big nobles may bring with them one thousand to three thousand people, while the small nobles may bring with them dozens of people, or some with two to three hundred people.
The latter two had a Valyrian steel sword on their waists respectively.
Slightly serious, look in front of you.
Rhaegar gently raised his hand, motioning for Donald to help Thaddeus up, and said with a smile.
Rhaegar glanced at her and thought that old Tyrell's sword was still young and his marksmanship was amazing.
It is refreshing to lead the coalition forces to take revenge, but the rear area will become a mess.
Three days later, all the nobles from the Reach who could come reported in one after another, bringing their own troops with them.
Rhaegar smiled faintly and said: "I leave the High Court to you, whether it is security or rear supply, I can rest assured."
Outside the ring-shaped white wall, troops with various flags were stationed. At a glance, there were no less than 20,000 to 30,000 people.
Old Tyrell was killed, leaving the Reach leaderless.
Forcibly cobbled together a coalition army of 30,000 men with standard equipment.
As soon as the news came out, most of Margaery's smile disappeared, like a rose blown by the wind and rain.
Hearing this, Thaddeus knelt down on one knee with a bang, his round face very excited: "I swear on the honor of the Rowan family that I will live up to your trust."
Rhaegar didn't say much and asked Donald from Horn Hill to leave.
There are still many nobles who are absent. It will not be too late to wait until everyone arrives.
Mrs. Eliza was in the bedroom nursing her baby and did not attend.
The Reach is really rich, with several Valyrian steel weapons.
Thaddeus has status and experience, but his bloated figure is better to stay at the rear and serve as the chief steward than to go to the battlefield.
Rhaegar sat on the throne, with Margaery and Helena beside him.
Hundreds of noble lords gathered together, each wearing heavy armor.
“I believe you.”
Putting his selfishness aside, Rhaegar said seriously: "Lord Thaddeus, the army will set off immediately, and there must be no one to guard the rear."
Three days later.
In addition to the title of duke, the title of guardian can be granted to powerful noble lords when the duke family is in difficulty.
Live up to the family motto of "life goes on forever", there are a few things to do in terms of fertility.
“The Allied Forces of the Reach just rush to the front line, and I am fully responsible for the rear.”
All three of them were wearing armor and special-style helmets.
The nobles did not dare to object and arranged the troops and horses they brought.
After ruling on the first order, Rhaegar looked at Donald and Mond with a smile.
Tyrell's bloodline cannot be lost, let alone tarnished.
“As the Crown Prince Regent, I entrust you with the title of Guardian of the South to maintain peace in the Reach.”
Rhaegar was a little greedy and thought about finding an opportunity to trigger the explorer mission.
Lord Jobert Royce of Runestone City is the guardian of the valley.
It has been two months since the bachelor's examination.
High Court.
The huge sword breaks the heart, and the half-sword in the hand is the truth.
Fat Thaddeus, tough Donald, idle Mond.
Inside the castle.
The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces will undoubtedly choose one of the two.
The two of them were not fools. They immediately raised their heads and chests, showing their most heroic side.
Rhaegar focused on Donald and said: "It is rumored that my lord is proficient in riding and shooting, and has repeatedly wiped out the wandering stone people in the Crimson Mountains."
The stone people are the Dornish people. Because they could not survive in the outside world, they took root in the mountains and hunted for a living.
Short, dark-skinned, and leaning towards the Dornish race before the fusion of the Rhoynar, they are called stone people.
Donald looked solemn and said with a straight face: "I have organized three times to suppress bandits with more than a hundred people, and participated in eight Dornish border counterattacks."
It can be considered as experienced in many battles.
"Your bravery is obvious to all. As the vanguard of the army, you will definitely move forward."
Rhaegar nodded and said: "Lord Mondstadt, you have organized maritime trade and are more skilled in large army operations. You will be the commander of the coalition."
“Yes! I will definitely live up to my trust.”
“Go out and check the baggage and food supplies, the army is about to go out.”
Rhaegar waved his hand calmly.
Donald frowned slightly, and he was determined to win the command. The importance of the vanguard was equally important.
Compared to his hesitation, Mond smiled from ear to ear and went out with great satisfaction.
Rhaegar sees everything and will not lower himself to explain.
The relationship between kings and ministers in the Reach is similar to that in the Riverlands, and the Tyrell family's rule is not as reliable.
Thaddeus was promoted to the Guardian of the Southern Territory. As an ally, Donald was not suitable to take over the coalition forces.
Although Mondstadt is annoying, he still has abilities.
It is a good check and balance point before the High Court determines the successor.
Rhaegar secretly murmured: "By doing this, I am betraying old Tyrell's loyalty."
The rear commander and the frontline commander have made arrangements, and the huge coalition army in the Reach is like a well-oiled war weapon, going into rapid operation. The noble lords in the hall each manage their own private soldiers.
Margaery also voluntarily stepped down and helped Thaddeus inventory military supplies.
The gorgeous hall paved with white stone suddenly became deserted.
Rhaegar looked at the busy attendants and caught a glimpse of a familiar face from the corner of his eye.
Tall body, plump body, simple and honest but with a serious fat face.
“Prince, I'm back from the school city.”
True bowed in greeting, her largest academic robe stretched tight.
Rega was happy and asked: "I have regained my status as a bachelor. Is everything going well?"
True went to Oldtown Citadel in June, seemingly to regain his lost honor.
“Yes, I got the link back.”
Trew showed off the bachelor's necklace on his chest, which was strung with six different links: black iron, bronze, red copper, gold, silver, and Valyrian steel.
ˆ Represents knowledge recognition in various fields.
Rhaegar was glad for him, the rich store of knowledge was another treasure.
“During my time in the school city, I have some things I saw and heard that I would like to report truthfully.”
True hesitated.
"tell me the story."
“Some unfounded speculations, can only be used for reference.”
Trew hesitated, took out a wooden box from his arms, and said timidly: "I saw a cargo ship at the Weeping Dock, and the people on the ship had an accent that was not the common language of Westeros."
This pier belongs to the school city and is rarely used.
Rhaegar's eyes narrowed, realizing the seriousness of the problem.
Take the wooden box and open it to see what is there before making a decision.
Tru said again: "This is the relic of Dr. Weigeng. It is stored on the bed board in front of him. It took some effort to find it."
While speaking, Rhaegar had already opened the wooden box.
A thick stack of opened letters, several pieces of parchment covered with graffiti, a Valyrian steel ring and half a gold mask.
The Valyrian steel ring is very light and is the city's recognition of the occult for its maesters.
The same applies to the half-piece gold mask, which was once the symbol of Wei Gen's doctor and was worn on the face all year round.
Rhaegar touched them one by one, but there was no voice in his ear.
Sigh lightly and treat it calmly.
He still remembered Senela Targaryen's reminder that Vaigon the Dragonless had researched some weird things in the Citadel and asked him to find them out when he had time.
As both a Targaryen, he believed that Seneela would not talk nonsense.
After the death of great-grandfather, the only two children left in the world were Senila and Weigeng. It is not surprising that the two brothers and sisters are secretly connected.
I took out the opened letters and looked at them one by one. They were all signed by Jaehaerys I.
From 78 AC to 103 AC, a letter home was written almost every year, paying attention to this rebellious son in the name of inquiry.
Especially the letters written in 103 AC, the handwriting is no longer Jaehaerys's own handwriting, but Allison's beautiful small handwriting.
Rhaegar pursed his lips and carefully collected the letters.
Great-grandfather died in 103 AC.
By that time, he was already weak and bedridden, and relied on his maid Allison for food, clothing, housing and transportation.
He was unable to write the letter, so he had to ask Allison to write it for him.
This is the last letter. It plainly expresses a father's longing for his son and his hope that Wei Geng can come back to see him before he dies.
It is a pity that the request of King Renrui is destined to be impossible to realize.
Wei Geng has been studying knowledge all year round. His body is even weaker than that of his old father, and he became bedridden earlier.
Rhaegar sighed lightly, feeling very complicated.
The second half of my great-grandfather's life was somewhat bleak.
The only remaining son, Wei Geng, died shortly after his death.
The last daughter Senela resented her father and refused to set foot on the continent of Westeros.
Even the 101 Great Council only appointed three illegitimate children.
Great-grandfather was confused when he was dying. He took Allison's hand and called Senira's name, thinking that his daughter was coming back to see him from the other side of the Narrow Sea.
Allison became King Renrui's attendant in the last stage of his life due to his three-thirds similarity in appearance to Senela.
Hence, even though she was not married to her father Viserys, she did not have Rhaenyra as a playmate.
The status of the palace is still not low.
Rhaegar's chest felt tight and he took a few pieces of parchment and looked at them.
The first and second pictures are covered with graffiti, depicting a ferocious dragon and an unfamiliar sea map respectively.
Writing text and answers on the third and fourth pictures.
【The school rejects magic and observes the dragon with bad thoughts】
【I cannot access the deeper parts of the city. They are not only jealous of my talent, but also afraid of my origin】
【Don't you want me to delve into the occult? Go ahead and eat shit, there is no knowledge that I can't learn]
【Sothoros is suspected of having a wild dragon, so the city sent a fleet to sail, but was destroyed by a big wave on the way】
Rhaegar perked up when he saw the word wild dragon.
The last piece of parchment is also the only one where graffiti and text coexist.
【To go north, you must go south. To reach the West, you must go east. To move forward, you must move backward. To get light, you have to go through the shadows]
Rhaegar frowned, not knowing why.
“North and south, west and east…light and shadow.”
On the parchment, there is a scrawled map, including Westeros, Essos, and Sothoros.
Specially marked are Asshai in Essos, the land of eternal winter in Westeros, and bits and pieces of Sothoros.
“Wild dragon?”
Rhaegar skipped the land of Asshai and Everwinter, and focused on the continent of Sothoros.
While hunting the Longpterosaur, he did find the remains of a giant dragon and the fossilized dragon egg that had broken into its shell.
Rhaegar's eyes gradually darkened, and he muttered: "The city observes dragons and is hostile to dragons. There are probably dragons in Sothoryos."
