Game of Thrones: I Became a Crown Prince For a Day Chapter 616

Chapter 616 Assassins of Asia

It was noon and the sun was shining brightly.

Rhaegar landed in Sunspear, riding a dragon, and was received with a grand welcome.

"His Majesty."

Prince Quill trotted all the way, with a joyful smile on his face.

"Long time no see, Prince."

Rhaegar climbed off the dragon's back and looked the loyal man to the Iron Throne up and down.

He has been full of fear and worship of dragons since he was a child, and has difficulty resisting Targaryen's rule.

With the teachings of his close minister Dundun, he developed a kind and chivalrous temperament.

A line of sweat broke out on Quil's forehead, and he couldn't hide his excitement: "Your Majesty, please follow me into the Tower of the Sun."

"lead the way."

Rhaegar glanced around and saw Baerys Dayne, the Kingsguard and Governor of Dorne.

"Your Majesty." Belis saluted the king with an upright look.

Even with heavy responsibilities, he still never forgets his original intention of joining the Kingsguard.

Tower of the Sun, Throne Hall.

Rhaegar changed into a set of Dornish-style light yellow robes and took the seat of honor at the banquet.

A little girl with black hair and olive skin came to the side, her eyes staring at the clues.

Corianne Martell, the youngest daughter of the former Prince of Dorne, Keolen, is a much-loved little princess.

Rhaegar glanced at him, his mind not on the other person at all.

Speaking of which, he has a deep connection with the Martell family.

Quill and Corianne were taking a boat to Bluffs and Volantis, but were kidnapped halfway.

The latter was also engaged to a certain congressman from the Three Women Country, and now he has already been married.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Quill was in a hurry and ordered his attendants to prepare the table quickly.

He went to feed the dragon.

Prepare livestock for the two castle-like dragons, and watch the dragon flames pour out with your own eyes.

Rhaegar waved his hand and said directly: "The orphans of the Green Blood River are causing trouble, and pirates are emerging in the Summer Sea. The prince still needs to worry about it."

This visit to Sunspear City was, firstly, to help Quill secure his rule, and secondly, to guard against the Iron Islands and the Basilisk Islands.

The sea is different from the land, and the strength exerted by the dragon has to be slightly discounted.

Sunspear sits on the docks of the Greenblood River, which can serve as a bridgehead.

Quill was young, but he was very thick-skinned. He opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, I really need money and trade. Recently, pirates have disturbed the peace along the coast and made people in the city panic."

As he spoke, a look of pleading appeared on his pale face.

Rhaegar responded with silence, tilting his head in disgust.

This kid is really on the right track, and the lion opens his mouth.

Quil looked at Xiaoxiao, and that was just a baby face.

He is actually 14 years old and has the mature thinking of an adult.

"There is also the Greenblood River Dock. The ships there are crowded every day, but most of them stay in hotels. Most of the business goes to Oldtown and Lannister Port."

Quill complained one by one.

When Dorne became independent, the nobles throughout the territory had the ability to absorb maritime trade.

Nowadays, the world is declining, Dorne is divided into east and west parts, and merchants are unwilling to run here.

Rhaegar listened patiently and gave a solution: "The rebels and pirates are due to the lack of defense in Sunspear City. As long as maritime trade is carried out, the funds will be enough to arm an army."

"I will notify the three city-states in the strait to increase trade with the Greenblood River and provide protection for the coastal areas of Dorne."

The rise of the Red Sea Monster and the Three Cities Alliance heralds the storm that will arise from the Summer Sea.

In advance, using the Stepped Islands as a link to connect the two sides of the strait and the coast of Dorne, a maritime blockade can be formed to isolate the mainland of Sothoros.

Colonization is not the best option after all.

The continent of Westeros is already sparsely populated, and moving to the desolate continent of Sothoryos is not conducive to development.

Then trap the enemy in a mosquito-infested land and strangle their channels for food, clothing and warmth.

"Thank you very much, your generous majesty."

Quill almost jumped up and poured a glass of Harrenhal's specialty sweet fruit wine to celebrate.

After lunch, Rhaegar proposed a tour of the Greenblood River.

As the only large dock in the entire Dorne Territory, it will bear the burden of the entry and exit of maritime fleets in the future.

"Your Majesty, I saw you brought another dragon. Is it Vhagar from the time of the Conqueror?"

Quill chatted while walking, and he was very excited when he mentioned the dragon.

Rhaegar shook his head: "No, that is a lonely old dragon who rarely appears in front of the world."

Uragath is an ownerless wild dragon that survived the apocalypse.

He will find a qualified driver for him and fully integrate into the Targaryen family.

"It is an unparalleled honor to be a Dragon Knight."

Quil flattered and said abruptly: "Your Majesty, I heard that you have several daughters. Do you intend to marry them?"

"Huh?" Rega paused, realizing something was wrong.

This kid doesn't understand the dragon at all, he just covets his bloodline.

Quill said sincerely: "I remember from the history books that His Majesty the Arbiter King Rui gave birth to thirteen children in his life, and he once betrothed several daughters to noble men of pure character."

As a prince of a realm, he still rules the Martell family in Dorne.

Ask the king to marry a legitimate Targaryen princess, adding noble ancient Valyrian blood to the family, and thus uniting the alliance between the two houses.

It is not only a reward from the royal family to its vassals, but also an important part of Dorne's true integration into the rule of the Iron Throne.

With a princess wife, who dares to question his status.

Just like Earl Corliss of the Velaryon family, his first wife has a dragon!

Lei Jia's expression was as usual and he said calmly: "Then do you ever know what happens to the daughters of King Renrui's foreign marriages?"

"Well…"

Quilton was speechless.

Among the many daughters of King Renrui, only one actually married outside the family, and that was Danela Targaryen who married into the Vale.

Married to an infatuated old man who was decades older, she died of puerperal fever when she was only 18 years old.

Another princess, Vesanrilla, was engaged to the Earl of White Harbor, but broke her neck while riding a horse while escaping from the engagement.

Among the remaining princesses, they were either nuns or prostitutes, and one had a mental defect and was seduced.

To be fair, even a girl from an ordinary aristocratic background would not end up in such a situation of total annihilation.

"Sorry, Your Majesty."

Quill lowered his head guiltily and said apologetically: "I mentioned your family's sadness."

"Hmph!" Rhaegar snorted and asserted: "My daughters will not marry outside, at least not if they don't want to."

He already had nine children, and Aegon was growing up.

When Aemond and Daeron give birth to an heir, the family will experience explosive growth.

In order to maintain rule and strengthen the family, internal marriages are sufficient.

Marrying a noble from Westeros?

Haha, they deserve it too!

How can a real dragon devote himself to a humble cow and horse? "His Majesty."

Quill hesitated for a moment and then asked tentatively: "What do you think of my sister?"

Rhaegar frowned: "I already have three wives, and the oldest child is only two years younger than Corianne."

He is not a sea snake marrying a wife who is more than ten years younger than him.

"No, no, you misunderstood."

Quill immediately changed his mind and said, "You have several sons, and marrying a woman from the Martell family is also a sign of trust."

This time he spoke very straightforwardly and directly mentioned the word "trust".

Marriage is a must.

He couldn't marry a Targaryen princess as he wished, so it would be okay to marry his sister to a Targaryen prince.

Only by establishing an in-law relationship between the two families can peace be restored in Dorne.

Otherwise, when the civil strife in Dorne will subside will not depend on when the rebels subside, but on the mood of the king in front of him.

Rega did not refuse anymore and fell into deep thought after hearing this.

Marriage is indeed the most direct bridge building between nobles.

The Arryns of the Vale and the Baratheons of the Stormlands are both marriage options for the Targaryens.

The reason for this is that one of the two blocked the weak northern border, and the other fought against the Dorne Territory for generations.

Dorne surrenders to the Iron Throne and should be given appropriate trust.

After a moment of silence, Rhaegar looked at Quill's firm eyes and said calmly: "My eldest son and second son are already engaged, and my sister-in-law can only choose one of the younger boys."

After a pause, he emphasized: "I will not force a mentally retarded child to get engaged if their personalities are not compatible!"

"With great gratitude, House Martell will forever follow the banner of the Iron Throne."

Quill smiled and bowed obediently.

The second half of the sentence was automatically filtered, and only the king agreed to the marriage.

When the opportunity is given, Dorn must seize it.

Looking at the smiling face of the other party, Rhaegar felt heartbroken and turned around to walk along the banks of the Green Blood River.

When it comes to choosing a boy, it basically falls on the third son, Meka.

That was his favorite son, and he originally planned to have some contact with Aegon's daughter Jahaera.

Who told Viserion and Egg that they were too young to fly?

Meka is seven years old, five years younger than Corenilla Martell, so she is barely a match.

As we walked, it was getting late.

Under the care of the guards, the group came to the other side of the Green Blood River, where the lemon grove was originally.

After the Dragon's Wrath ended, the lemon grove was burned by the sun's fire, and a large area of the forest was burned down, leaving nothing but scorched earth as far as the eye could see.

"His-"

In the intact forest, an old dark green dragon was crawling, its breath blowing against the bushes and making a creaking scream.

"Your Majesty, that is the cargo ship at the dock."

Quill stood on the shore and pointed at the large number of boats in the wide river.

The ships were large and small, with sails from all over the world.

Just talking about the lively scenes, the Mud Gate of Junlin does not need to be small.

Rhaegar looked up and saw the banners of Hightower and House Velaryon in the old town.

The two merchant ships formed a fleet and stood out among the other ships.

Suddenly, a small sailboat flying an all-black flag caught the eye.

"Where is that ship?"

Rhaegar had never seen it.

Quill stood on tiptoes, eager to explain to the king.

However, I am not tall enough and I am sweating profusely from work.

Belis held down the escaped prince and said respectfully: "That's Asshai's ship. It has been in the Green Blood River for many days. I heard that there are wizards on board following the Velaryon fleet."

"Something to do with sea snakes?"

Rhaegar didn't hold back when facing the Kingsguard.

Bayliss looked cautious and said thoughtfully: "I don't know, but Lord Corliss is obsessed with transforming the ship and sent his men to consult the wizards of Asshai."

Whether the two are related or not, no one can tell.

"elder brother."

At this time, Quill's ears moved and he heard his sister's voice.

I was wondering why the other party was behind me.

Quil turned his head and saw a pale-faced Corianne standing in front of a wooden box by the river, holding a small shell in her hand.

Somehow, he walked slowly as if possessed.

All I have left is concern for my sister.

Kelianni smiled foolishly and handed the shell to her brother.

"Why are you here?"

Quill asked, reaching for it.

"Get out of here!"

The next moment, Bayliss suddenly rushed over and kicked over the shell that was about to pass.

"Hiss..."

The shell was split in half, and an ugly spider with a head like a wolfdog emerged, screaming and swooping at Quill.

Danglang—

The long black sword fell from the sky and instantly nailed the palm-sized poisonous spider to the ground.

Rhaegar grabbed the stunned Quill, stepped on the poisonous spider with his foot, and shouted: "You devil, you are seeking death!"

Just now I saw Quil suddenly changed his face and walked straight towards the river.

I didn't expect someone to assassinate me in broad daylight.

"Hiss!~"

Kelianni's pupils turned pure black, she bared her fangs like a beast, turned her head and jumped into the river.

"younger sister!"

Quill was so shocked that he jumped into the river to fish it out.

"Don't worry, it's fake!"

Rhaegar held him down and looked coldly at the black canvas Asshai boat.

A slender figure stood on the boat, as stiff as a dead person.

As the rapid water surged, the small boat concealed itself behind the nearby large ship and moved away silently.

"Guard your majesty!"

Belis drew out his clan sword "Dawn" and stood in front of the two kings.

I don't know when, some beggar-like children appeared on both sides of the Green Water River, staring at the group of people with bright eyes.

Rhaegar's eyes flashed, and he secretly said that someone was planning to assassinate Quill, causing chaos in Dorne.
