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

Chapter 216 The tacit understanding between siblings

Settle looked at the two young Targaryens, his expression getting uglier.

His mission is to help Prince Keoran marry a Targaryen princess.

It's not about marrying off your own princess.

Of course, leave aside the relationship between the two countries.

Marrying Rhaegar Targaryen, who is the crown prince, is still acceptable.

But the marriage partner is a prince with no real power, so it is obviously not considered.

After pondering for a moment, Settle controlled his temper: "Prince, Prince Keolun wants to ask for a princess, not to marry a princess."

"Oh?"

Rega pretended to be surprised: "Didn't you just say that when it comes to the marriage between the two countries, how can it be hindered by personal factors?"

"Prince, Princess Alexandra has no plans to marry outside for the time being."

Holding the letter with trembling palms, Settle said in a panic: "You robbed my raven?"

Seitel's face changed slightly, and the looks from the people around him made him feel like he was carrying a ray of light.

Setel looked panicked, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He saw that his eldest brother was deliberately making things difficult for the Dornish envoy.

Stephen Darklin of the Kingsguard stepped forward and caught the panicked Settle.

Archmaester Melos frowned and said slowly: "Dorn has no intention of easing relations with the kingdom. Is he going to expel the envoy?"

Otto watched the scene as a spectator, frowning slightly.

How could Settle not see the problem that a 4-year-old child could see.

He thought so, but some people disagreed.

Rhaegar raised his eyebrows and looked sideways at Rhaenyra.

He was a raven secretly released, but he was actually intercepted.

Rhaegar sneered and took out a letter from his sleeve.

"what?"

The Dornish people are incredibly arrogant.

Finance Minister Linman Bisbury came out, an angry look appeared on his old cheeks, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, Prince Martell is fooling the kingdom, it is extremely shameless."

Settle couldn't believe his ears and quickly grabbed the letter and checked the contents.

Then cooperate and play tricks on each other.

Dai Lun glanced at him and patted his chest like a kid.

There are also objections to marriage.

The deportation didn't end too badly.

The veil of hypocrisy was exposed, and Setel felt extremely nervous and explained: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude, but I did come with the expectation of marriage."

Leonor immediately scolded him with unabashed contempt.

Lei Jia held on tightly, playing with the taste: "My two brothers are of the right age and can afford to wait."

Seth was stunned for a moment, feeling bad in his heart.

Naturally, he doesn't like Dorne.

"The two Targaryen princesses refused to marry and insulted Prince Keoran!"

Rhaenyra took the letter and walked towards him, saying contemptuously: "You don't need me to read out the letter you sent back to Sunspear, do you?"

After a cursory glance, his vision suddenly went dark and he confirmed that it was his own message.

He is from the Reach and is the Lord of Hive City.

Viserys read the contents of the letter and said solemnly: "Messenger, neither Keorun nor you are sincere enough!"

Settle declined: "When I came, Prince Keolun didn't mention this matter. I can't make the decision."

At least there is still a small life left.

There was some innocuous information written on the letter paper.

When Viserys heard this, he felt it was justified and cursed: "The envoy of Dorne has impure intentions, drag him out."

Rhaegar's smile faded and he asked: "Who is the unintentional marriage partner? Doesn't the envoy know clearly?"

and a disparaging assessment of Viserys himself.

"Shut up, scheming Dornishman!"

His already dark skin became even darker, and he said angrily: "Since His Majesty and the prince have no intention of marrying Dorne, I will truthfully report to Prince Keolen."

"It doesn't matter, we can discuss it slowly."

Settle was indignant.

"Haha, look what this is."

Rhaenyra turned her head knowingly.

The two looked at each other and saw dissatisfaction in each other's eyes.

He came to get married with evil intentions, but he still wanted to leave after being discovered.

How can there be such a good thing in the world?

Rega had a cold face, a searching look flashed in his eyes.

Rhaenyra lowered her eyes and nodded slightly.

it is more than words.

Settle was being led out when a voice called to stop.

"and many more!"

Rhaegar's eyes flashed with gloom, and he said: "Whose territory do you think King's Landing belongs to? You have evil intentions and want to escape unscathed."

"Prince, I didn't mean to offend."

Seth was suddenly startled and begged for mercy.

Rhaegar was unmoved: "But you have already offended."

As he spoke, he approached the other party with a cold expression.

Not wanting to cause bloodshed, Viserys reminded: "Rhaegar, he is the messenger, just drive him away."

"Father, the Dornish are enemies, and no mercy should be shown to enemies."

Rhaegar disagreed and pulled out the dragon claw from his waist.

He glanced at the confused Aemond and Daeron, and said seriously: "Watch, I will only demonstrate how the Targaryen men solve the problem."

The scene fell silent.

Viserys realized something was wrong and yelled: "Rhaegar, what are you going to do!"

Rhaegar turned a deaf ear and motioned the Kingsguard to retreat with his eyes.

"No! I am the messenger..."

Setel was so frightened that he broke free from the restraints of the Kingsguard and ran away.

"When Dorne sent troops to attack the Stepstone Islands, did you ever think that you would die?"

Rhaegar whispered softly, swung his sword with a cold light, and cut off half of the opponent's head.

pat-

Half of the head fell sideways from the body to the ground, and colorful filth splashed out.

The mutilated body shook a bit and fell down while still running forward.

"what!……"

A bloody scene happened in front of his eyes, Allison let out a low cry, his expression was grim.

Aemond and Daeron stood there blankly, looking up at the back of their eldest brother Rhaegar.

Rega turned around, lifted up one corner of his clothes and wiped the blood-stained sword blade, and said calmly: "Have you learned it?"

"Gulu..." Aemond swallowed, looking at Rhaegar's eyes with a mixture of fear and admiration.

Darren was still young, so he closed his eyes in fear, bowed his head and huddled in Aemond's arms.

Rhaegar glanced between them, noticing the unusual Helena.

Helena's eyes were wide open, full of excitement and longing, and she subconsciously took a step closer to Rhaegar.

She turned a blind eye to the blood and showed no fear.

Secretly thinking in my heart: "Sure enough, the dragon can bring people courage!"

It wasn't just the Targaryen brats who were affected.

The imperial ministers all changed their expressions. They did not expect that the prince would kill him just as he said.

Otto frowned deeply and lowered his head to hide his expression.

He saw the shadow of Daemon in Rhaegar.

He hated Damon.

"Rhaega, look what good things you have done!!"

Viserys stood up angrily and pointed at the body lying in a pool of blood.

The two countries are at war without cutting off the envoys.

Killing the envoy at will would not anger Keolen Martell.

Rhaegar sheathed his sword and said seriously: "Father, Dorn is involved in the battle for the Stepstone Islands, and a battle with the kingdom is inevitable."

Viserys angrily rebuked: "Then you should let the messenger go back instead of killing him in public!"

"The Dornish people are not as trustworthy as we are."

Rhaegar hung his head like a child who had made a mistake.

In history, many messengers and prisoners were killed by Dorne.

Can't count.

"you……"

Viserys was speechless for a moment, turned to look at the Kingsguard, and cursed: "Why don't you take the body out quickly and wait for it to dry?"

If you can't talk to the eldest son, then find someone to vent your anger on.

Stephen Duckling was so scolded that he could not lift his head, and his already premature face turned into embarrassment.

"The meeting is dismissed!"

Viserys was furious and walked away.

The others looked at each other and followed him out of the hall.

No one wants to be unhappy now.

Rhaegar shrugged, not regretting it.

He had long wanted to kill the Dornish emissary.

"I'll go apologize to my father later."

Rhaenyra took his hand and whispered a reminder.

She was also responsible for killing the Dornish messenger.

Rhaegar smiled, and that was exactly what he meant.

My father is mentally fragile and often suffers from self-doubt.

Jenny came over, naturally took Rhaegar's other arm, and said softly: "How about Guoqian accompany me to the dragon's lair? I really like that young dragon named Blizzard."

"Get out of here, Jenny!"

Rhaenyra's eyes widened as she spoke through her teeth.

Jenny smiled bitterly and turned to hold her friend's arm.

……

After lunch.

Rhaegar went to his father to apologize, but was scolded by Viserys.

After being scolded, he walked out of the room as if nothing happened.

Opening the door, Otto, dressed in green clothes, faced him.

"Lord Otto, is something wrong?"

Rhaegar asked doubtfully.

Otto nodded and said deeply: "Some matters related to street cleaning need to be reported to His Majesty."

"It's not easy to clean the streets. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Otto."

Rega suddenly realized and passed him by.

A street-cleaning program was also one of his proposals.

Allison fought hard and handed it over to his father Otto.

Bringing the former Prime Minister back to King's Landing to attend the Lord Chancellor's presence.

A month has passed, and the appearance of the city of King's Landing does not seem to have changed much.

The new Civil Affairs Minister needs to work harder.

……

into the night.

Otto came out of the king's chamber.

The king and his ministers talked for a long time about the street management of King's Landing.

Not just cleaning, but management too!

In fact, if you want to clean up the streets, you must learn to manage them.

In order to complete the task, Otto spent money to hire a group of poor people to work.

Every day at dawn, I clean the streets with shovels and dustpans.

Carriages were collected to transport them outside the city and buried collectively.

But this approach treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.

The people of King's Landing poop and pee on the streets every day.

Especially after someone cleans the streets, all kinds of garbage are thrown onto the streets, which increases the burden on the sanitation workers.

Otto tried to persuade people not to dump excrement in the streets.

It doesn't work.

I found Jinpaozi to strengthen management and prohibit people from discharging sewage at will.

Unexpectedly, it caused a strong reaction.

The people cursed.

If Jinpaozi dares to interfere, they will dare to pour feces and urine on Jinpaozi.

Even Otto, who was the Minister of Civil Affairs, was also questioned a lot, which seemed to arouse the anger of heaven and earth.

In terms of common people.

It’s unreasonable to not allow people to poop or pee on the street!

Can they still eat and drink by themselves?

Otto was so insulted that he was even called the "Minister of Shit".

It has a reputation in the most chaotic area of ​​Flea Bottom.
