Game of Thrones: I became a crown prince for a day

 Chapter 367 The Spring of Viserys

 The King's Landing.

News of Myr's victory came back with the raven, spreading like a storm throughout the city.

Both the princes and nobles as well as the poor people, they all have unprecedented confidence in this battle on the Narrow Sea.

　　The Targaryen dragons and princes secured a large territory for the kingdom.

Red Fort, Parliament Hall.

Viserys was smiling broadly, holding a letter in his hand and looking at it over and over again.

He was prepared for the situation to become more and more tragic. Unexpectedly, within half a month, the eldest son led the army and captured Myr.

You must know that it is one of the long-standing free trade cities.

 I think about the time when the Three Women's Kingdom was in chaos during the Jaehaerys period. I don't know how much it cost to win a short-term peace.

 In the past, he would not have cared about matters such as war preparations.

More loyal than the old fritter Melos, and more considerate than the dull and boring Orville.

 First highlight the reigning king as "Viserys I", and then write the key point of the regent crown prince riding a dragon to invade Myr.

It was different now. When he heard these things, his blood was boiling. He wanted to ride on Wormisor and rush to the battlefield, spray two puffs of dragon flames, and then return to the Red Castle to enjoy himself.

Leonor's eyes flashed with helplessness, and he said: "The fleets from all over the world have been setting off for a long time, and they will arrive one after another in about half a month."

Otto nodded: "The two families do not agree with Lady Cassandra's inheritance of Storm's End. This act is unlawful and should be severely punished."

 “Very good.” Viserys felt very comfortable.

 Look now, his eldest son has captured Myr, with the intention of uprooting the Three Women Kingdom.

Throughout the Stormlands, Stonehelm City and Blackport City are both first-class border defense towns.

Tormund smiled and said in a soft voice: "Your Majesty, the two families resisted the orders of Storm's End, but strictly abided by Prince Rhaegar's defense instructions and strictly guarded the Cape of Windwrath and the Bone Road. It was not what Lord Otto said. It’s so hard to write a book.”

 It is the responsibility of these families to protect the territory and kingdom, and they will not ignore the family just because they oppose a certain decision.

A hint of smile appeared on Mu Kun's serious face, and he responded: "Yes, Your Majesty."

 “What’s the problem?” Viserys was startled for a moment, and then became a little nervous.

At one time, he had two serious worries.

Otto, who was at the top of the left hand, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I think you should know about the situation in the Stormlands and Dorne."

He wanted to tell the world immediately and spread the achievements of his eldest son to the seven kingdoms.

For this reason, his uncle Aemon Targaryen was assassinated, and his father Baerron Targaryen was suspected of being poisoned.

 A maritime route to defend Cape Wrath, a dangerous and steep bone road that has been guarded for generations.

 Viserys couldn't help but laugh, and glanced at the royal ministers with a proud face.

 Viserys immediately hesitated and subconsciously looked at the intelligence manager sitting in the second seat on his right.

 Families with long heritage usually have great rules and beliefs.

Leonor paused and continued to add: "Mrs. Janey of the Eagle's Nest City attaches great importance to the Narrow Sea War. She summoned the vassals of the valley to personally sit in Seagull Town and formed a second line of maritime defense with the Cetiga fleet on Crab Island."

He often wondered why the nerds in the city didn't elect Mu Kun as the candidate for the bachelor's degree.

 “Are these two families still messing around about illegitimate children?” Viserys frowned in displeasure.

Viserys breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and the smile returned to his face: "That's good, wait until the war is over, and then we can talk about other issues."

 Corlys the sea serpent, Keolan of Dorne.

Now that the eldest son Rhaegar is carrying the Targaryen banner, and Allison has given birth to four children by him, the Velaryon family is no longer afraid.

Thinking of this, a tall and lanky bachelor in the corner of the Viserys conference hall smiled and said: "Sister Mukun, record the battle of Myr in the palace brief history in great detail. Don't omit even a single thing."

Viserys smiled and said implicitly: "Of course Lady Jeyne takes it seriously. The Arryn family never betrays their relatives."

“Hahaha, Myr’s lace and dyes are the best, from now on they will all be Targaryen’s!”

Viserys was happy and allowed the guy to record.

 “Yes, my lord.”

 Planning the slightly wrinkled letter flat on the table, Viserys looked at the Hand of the Kingdom at the top of his left hand and said loudly:

“How prepared are the ports and fleets at each border? We cannot delay the battle on the front line.”

Otto's eyes were deep, and he glanced at Tormund, who was sitting across from him, and reported: "Prince Aemond is sitting at Storm's End, but the Sven family in Stonehelm and the Dondarrion family in Blackport do not obey orders. "

 Open the thick brief history of the palace and put pen to paper.

That would just give him a headache.

Leonor sat upright and said rigorously: "White Harbor and the Three Sisters Islands have formed an interception fleet to strictly control the upper half of the Narrow Sea and block the fleet and trade of Braavos."

Viserys nodded repeatedly, satisfied that he was well prepared.

 After getting along for a long time, he found that Mu Kun was a good person.

But Martell of Dorne invaded the border almost every year, which always kept him awake at night with worry.

“The Grafson family in Seagull Town has prepared a large amount of supplies and ships. They will immediately send logistical support as soon as the prince regains the occupied Stone Step Islands.”

 Looking at Tormund carefully.

Wearing a black and white robe, with a young and soft face, there are white falcons and black crows standing on the left and right shoulders.

 The appearance and demeanor are very different from those of Leonor, Otto and other veterans, but his ability to do things is surprisingly reliable.

Otto frowned slightly, but was interrupted by the king's few words and lost the opportunity to pursue the matter.

Viserys was happy, confirmed that nothing serious happened, and decided to end the meeting.

Before leaving, Otto hesitated for a moment, but said: "According to what my brother Mond said, the Ironborn from the Iron Islands wander around the mouth of Lannister Harbor and Seaside City, and there may be some trouble."

Viserys looked down on a group of unorganized and undisciplined Ironborn, and waved his hand in disgust: "Lord Jason of Casterly Rock will drive away those pirates."

  …     At night, the king's chamber.

 The bed frame creaked and shook, accompanied by a greasy and crooked movement.

 More than half an hour later, everything returned to calm.

Viserys was leaning on the bedside, wearing a white spotted nightgown and drinking cold water with a rosy face.

 He is in very good condition today, with no pain in his waist or legs.



 “Husband~”

Allison had a clear voice and lay in her husband's arms.

Viserys put down the water glass, stroked his wife's reddish curly hair, and said with a smile, "Just tell me if you have anything to do."

Allison raised his face, with a blush on his white skin, and said expectantly: "The Narrow Sea War is not over yet. Do you think Rhaegar can defeat all three Free Trade Cities?"

 “Who can say accurately what the gods will bless?”

Viserys raised the corners of his mouth and said proudly: "But Myr is already in our hands, isn't it?"

There are nine Free Trade Cities in total, controlling half of the richest coastal land in Essos continent.

Three Women's Kingdom is located in a disputed area, and its overall strength is second only to Braavos.

 Any one of the three city-states has a prestige, population, and wealth comparable to that of a duchy in Westeros.

 After all, the only truly rich lands in Westeros are the Crown, the Riverlands, and the West.

 The valleys and river areas are next, and the northern region is the most bitter and cold.

Allison's eyes flickered and he murmured: "War brings disaster. I hope Rhaegar can defeat the Three Women's Kingdom so that the royal family can have more territory."

Although the royal domain is small, Targaryen does not lack territory.

 What is really lacking is a wealthy place that can create enough wealth.

 Otherwise, we cannot drive a noble Targaryen prince out of King's Landing and live in a pinch in the countryside.

It is better to stay in King's Landing and enjoy the dignity brought by the royal family.

Viserys heard the implication, looked down at his wife, and said in surprise: "Don't you hate war and displacing people?"

“But the war has started, and I, a palace woman, cannot control this.” Allison said quietly.

Viserys smiled and didn't care.

Even if he conquers the Three Women's Kingdom, the distribution of the city-states cannot be decided by him at a single word, and must be discussed by Rega and the Imperial Council.

 The couple hugged each other, each with different thoughts.

 After a moment of silence, Allison suddenly said: "Aegon has come of age, and the marriage is still pending."

Viserys said with a headache: "That boy doesn't like Helena. We shouldn't force our children to marry."

 Compared to when Rhaenyra was still the heir, forcing her to marry a great noble was different.

 It was a last resort in order to safeguard the royal rights.

 Viserys wanted to follow the opinions of his children at this time, at least to ensure that their marriage could be maintained.

 That boy Aemond is very bad. He has been bullying his fiancée Cassandra. He is a brat similar to Damon.

Allison sighed and said calmly: "I know, Aegon is a prodigal, Helena..."

 She did not say anything more about her only daughter.

 As a mother, she was keenly aware that Helena had no feelings for her brothers other than familial affection.

On the contrary, he has had an inexplicable admiration for his half-brother Rhaegar since he was a child.

 It drives her crazy!

Viserys asked in confusion: "What happened to Helena?"

He only had eyes for his eldest son and daughter. He occasionally glanced at Aegon and little Daeron, but paid very little attention to the remaining two children.

 “Oh, it’s nothing.”

Allison didn't want to mention it any more, so the topic got back on track: "Lord Jason of Lannister, he has a daughter, who might be a good candidate for marriage."

Viserys was stunned when he heard this: "Are the Lannister girls 8 or 9 years old?"

“Age doesn’t matter, both parties can get engaged first,” Allison said.

Viserys shook his head and refused: "No! Aegon is not suitable to marry the Duke's daughter, you should choose again."

 The Lannister family has always coveted the Targaryen dragons and power.

Not to mention that the third son Aemond is already engaged to the Duchess of Storm's End, and the second son Aegon is enough to marry an ordinary noble girl.

 Allison did not give up and pondered: "How about Margaery Tyrell of Highgarden?"

"I heard that the old Duke of Highgarden has taken a new wife." Viserys said with a playful look in his eyes.

During the Tourney at God's Eye, Old Tyrell lied about being ill and sent his daughter Margaery to represent Highgarden.

 But I stayed in the High Court and married a wife from a minor noble background, hoping to give birth to a male heir.

As a result, Margaery Tyrell’s road to imitating Janey and Cassandra will be ten thousand times more difficult.

Allison's eyes flickered, and he said casually: "In the Hightower family, one of my cousins ​​has a daughter. She is a young girl of the right age who is well-read in poetry."

"Hightower?" Viserys hesitated for a moment, confused.

He had already married a Hightower, and he did not want his second son to marry another Hightower.

It’s not that Hightower women are bad, on the contrary, they are very considerate of their husbands.

 It’s just that the second son should marry daughters from other families to create more potential allies for the royal family.
