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

Chapter 14 Bone Crusher-Halwin Strong
  "A wild boar attacked me and I killed it."

Rhaenyra rubbed Rhaegar's head, a hint of pride in her tone.

"Wow, heroic pig hunting lady."

Rhaegar said this out of nowhere in his mind.

Rhaenyra's face turned dark instantly.

Just as Rhaegar was suffering the wrath of his sister's sleeping dragon, a voice interrupted the intimacy between the two siblings.

"Princess, I heard that you dealt with a wild boar by yourself?"

A voice came from the grill.

The two siblings looked at each other at the same time and saw a strong man with brown curly hair and a thick beard.

From the other person's facial features, Rega felt a little familiar.

But the two sides have never met.

Rhaenyra knew the other party and smiled politely: "It's just a fluke, Ser Harwin Strong."

Hearing the name Strong, Rhaegar suddenly understood.

Realize where the familiarity comes from.

The Larry Strong that made him feel uncomfortable.

Rhaenyra noticed his expression and whispered: "He is the eldest son of Prime Minister Leonor, a very famous knight, known as the Bonebreaker."

"Bone Crusher? He will break the bones of his enemies?"

Rhaegar asked half-jokingly.

Harwin skinned a pigeon and answered with a smile: "That's right, during a battle, I used a war hammer to smash the skull of an unlucky guy. The people who survived gave me the nickname Bone Crusher. ."

"Awesome, it seems you are really a powerful warrior."

Rhaegar responded calmly, and it was not difficult to hear the pride in the other person's tone.

A knight with such a intimidating title is indeed proud of himself.

After cleaning the pigeons quickly, Harwin took a rag and wiped his hands, and stepped forward to joke:

"My barbecue skills are good. I just saw that the prince ate a lot. I wonder if the princess would like to enjoy it?"

As he spoke, this tall, strong man spoke humorously and had an easy-going temperament.

It's hard to imagine that he would smash people's heads on the battlefield.

Facing the invitation from this handsome knight, Rhaenyra smiled apologetically and declined: "No, my father is still waiting for me. No one can say no to the king."

"It doesn't matter. I will serve in King's Landing for a long time in the future. If the princess wants to taste my craftsmanship, you are welcome to visit at any time."

Harwin was very sensible, showing a friendly attitude without being overly attentive.

Rhaegar saw something in him.

respect!

Of course the older Rhaenyra could see that too.

A little unaccustomed, he put his hands behind his back and smiled more sincerely: "I will, Sir."

Harwin smiled and saluted and stopped interrupting.

This move made Renee even more favorable.

Looking at his somewhat excited sister, Rhaegar felt confused and curled his lips.

"I'm leaving to see my father. You can wander around casually."

Rhaenyra still had to see Viserys, so she hurried away without any time to talk.

At this time, many princes and nobles gathered in the camp and noticed the princess covered in blood.

The noisy scene suddenly quieted down, and everyone remained quiet.

Rhaenyra resented the scrutiny.

He walked by with a cold face, meeting eyes with certain people from time to time.

Most of the time, the princess's momentum will overwhelm others.

The man with a guilty conscience lowered his head, not daring to look at him.

Rhaenyra curled her lips slightly, despising those who were timid.

Looking at the back of everyone's attention, Rega pursed his lips, seeming to feel the loneliness from it.

……

The royal forest hunt is over.

Viserys immediately got into the carriage and returned to King's Landing with his family.

In view of the wrong behavior of the sister and brother leaving the camp without authorization, the father punished them respectively.

The princess is old enough to get married, but she doesn't like the person the king has chosen.

Viserys spent a lot of money to organize a tour of the continent specifically for Rhaenyra.

On the surface, Rhaenyra, as the heir, was asked to visit the lords of various realms to strengthen the relationship between the vassals and her.

Show the majesty of the Targaryen royal family.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Since becoming the heir, Rhaenyra usually just observes government affairs.     Has no real power.

Er is not familiar with the lord who swore an oath to her.

Viserys this time is to increase Rhaenyra's presence and make the vassals better accept the heir.

while achieving this purpose.

Martial arts tournaments and banquets will also be held in various places.

Take the opportunity to help Rhaenyra find a marriage partner.

From Viserys' point of view, Rhaenyra didn't like his choice, so let her choose.

You can choose from great guys from all over the country.

Believe it or not, no one can take notice.

This shows how much this father attaches great importance to his daughter's marriage.

The eldest daughter's problem was solved, and the eldest son Rhaegar had an easier time.

Viserys used the excuse of recuperation and ordered Rhaegar to continue to live in the Red Keep and was not allowed to leave the gate of the Red Keep.

For this reason, several bachelors were sent to check his body regularly.

Confirm whether the frailty is completely cured.

Personal freedom was restricted, so Rhaegar naturally refused.

After some arguments, Viserys believed that his eldest son had reached the age of enlightenment.

He also sent two old bachelors to teach him how to read and write.

numb.

The hardship began when I was forced to wake up at six o'clock every day, attend cultural classes for eight hours, and check my homework the next day.

Rhaegar's whole body was numb.

Viserys didn't think of him as a child recovering from a serious illness.

Adhere to the attitude of learning if you can't die, then learn to death.

Under this kind of cramming education, Rhaegar's originally pale face improved.

But the dark circles under my eyes are getting heavier day by day, even worse than before.

"Damn maester, damn Old Town Academy, sooner or later I will get back what I lost!"

Faced with the tough education from the two old bachelors, Rhaegar made up his mind while practicing calligraphy.

Rhaegar asked when Viserys would be free again.

The answer I got was: "When will sister You return to King's Landing, and when will you walk out of the Red Keep."

Therefore, Rhaegar missed Rhaenyra extremely deeply.

He misses his sister so much!

Come back soon!
  ……

Time flies, half a year has passed.

King's Landing welcomes late autumn when the autumn leaves turn yellow.

As a city by the sea, Junlin's climate has not changed much, but the farmers in the fields have become busier.

Rhaegar got good news in the Red Keep.

The sister he had been waiting for day and night was coming back.

Rhaenyra ended her travels early and boarded a ship to sail from the Stormlands. She would be back in King's Landing in a few days.

No matter what others thought, Rhaegar was extremely happy.

As soon as the classes ended every day, I would sit in front of the glass window in the attic of the Red Fort and look out at the sea.

Looking forward to seeing Rhaenyra's returning ship.

"It's great. My sister is finally coming back. My hard life is finally over."

Rhaegar felt sad for what he had experienced over the past six months.

He likes to read.

But that was a last resort way to pass the time when I was weak and had no other activities.

It’s not like studying behind closed doors like a prison.

"Prince, you'd better not say this nonsense. The king was very angry when he heard the news that the princess returned without permission."

Another voice came from the attic.

Rhaegar knew who it was without looking.

Ilic, dressed in silver armor and white robes, stood in front of another window, his posture upright like a spear.

"Sir, you don't know my daily life, don't you feel sad for me?"

Rhaegar said sullenly.

Ilic couldn't help laughing: "The king does expect you to gain knowledge, but eight hours of class plus after-school homework is indeed a bit inhumane."
