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

Chapter 258 Changes in Riverrun

The two Tullys ordered their knights to fight again, their eyes never leaving the cold-faced Rhaegar.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　——

 After fighting for a while, one of the knights wielded his long sword and cut off the opponent's throat, winning the duel.

The two monks beside Milov immediately closed their eyes, clasped their hands and prayed silently.

Rhaegar frowned slightly, thinking about the role of the Church of the Seven in this fight for the heir.

 “Prince, they are the helpers Milov found.”

Almon came closer timidly and whispered a reminder.

Rhaegar said suspiciously: "The battle for the successor is all based on personal strength. What's the use of asking the Church of the Seven Gods?"

Elmon gritted his teeth and said indignantly: "The two monks insisted on Milov's succession rights, and even used raven to send a message back to the Old Town Main Church. They waited for my grandfather to die so that they could support Milov's ascendancy."

As he spoke, he clenched his fists and lowered his voice to curse: "Dogs and mice are nosy."

Milov was the heir, and the two monks felt that they were sure of victory, so they agreed to contribute.

 Subsequently, he gave up the duel.

Rhaegar glanced twice and frowned: "What is the purpose of their duel?"

 Finally, Count Lemon pierced the opponent's breastplate connection with his sword.

 Most of the noble second sons and proletarian knights recruited by Milov and Edmure were not rich and could barely scrape together a pair of armor and weapons.

Count Lemon's armor is an ancestral treasure armor. It is full of marks from swords and axes, but it has been well maintained in the later period.

Count Leman took the lead in launching the attack, swinging his heavy sword with both hands vigorously, forcing his opponent to retreat steadily.

 The next opponent will appear soon.

To engage in such a flashy duel.

The armor technology in Westeros varies from high to low.

 It was said to be a duel on the field, but in reality it was two knights hacking each other without rules.

 With this power, it is better to kill the opponent directly, wait for Old Tully to die, and then capture Riverrun directly.

The two uncles are only so capable, so they found a group of proletarian knights to kill each other to show their authority.

With a gloomy face, Edmure invited his father-in-law, Earl Lemon.

 Earl Lemmon killed four challenging knights in succession, and his breathing finally became heavier.

Milov's eyes widened. He didn't expect an old count who was nearly fifty years old to be so brave.

 The knight in the armor is tightly wrapped, with almost no weak spots to break through.

 The duel continues.

Count Leman still dealt with it easily, swinging the epee with such force that the opponent struggled to even counterattack.

"Next person!"

has no meaning?

Elmon sighed: "They are competing in terms of strength. Whoever has more knights wins will be considered as outperforming the other."

 “That’s it.” Elmon was helpless.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　——

 The quality of the armor was barely adequate, and in the eyes of the experienced Count Lemon, it was full of loopholes.

Unable to stand it any longer, Milov invited two money-grubbing monks from nowhere and promised to donate a large sum of money after inheriting Riverrun.

 The opponent fell to the ground and died in a pool of blood.

“What two hopeless fools!” Rhaegar was speechless.

 Compared with some low-priced armors, it looks more gorgeous and powerful.

 Inheritance is an internal matter of the Tully family.

Count Leman's heavy sword was on the ground, his eyes were cold and ruthless.

Find the right moment, discover the weak spot in the opponent's armor, and strike hard with your sword.

 The duel on the field begins.

 Most of the armors that cost a lot of money to forge are thick iron cans that look inconspicuous.

 There are many weaknesses in the armor, giving the enemy more opportunities to take advantage of it.

Milov chose a tall knight with a sword and shield in his hand.

 In the current era, Count Lemon is already old and in a period of physical decline.

 One of the tall knight's arms was cut off at the root, and blood immediately spurted out.

Count Lemon is already old, his hair and temples are graying, and his square face is wrinkled.

 The Church of the Seven Gods should have no right to intervene.

During the conversation, the two Tullys chose a new duel partner.

 “That’s it?” Rhaegar couldn’t believe it.

 It can kill four opponents in a row, so it will definitely live up to its reputation.

As soon as Count Lemon came out, only the two sides were left pecking each other.

Rhaegar was not interested in watching. He called Elmon and walked with him to the entrance of the godswood.

"Prince, what are your orders?" Elmon said cautiously.

Rhaegar was furious when he saw him like this.

 When I think of the two worse Tullys in the godswood, I can only grit my teeth and accept it.

 “Come here!”

Rhaegar held Elmon's neck, stared at him with his eyes, and said in a frosty voice: "Old Tully is seriously ill, and your two uncles are busy fighting for power, but these are the household chores of your Tully family. I won't interfere."

"Prince..." Almon was shocked when he heard this and his expression changed.

"shut up!"

Rhaegar's face was as dark as water, and he said word by word: "Go back to the godswood and see your two uncles. Use your rusty brain to think about what you want to do and what you should do!"

 After saying that, he raised his hand and let go of the confused Elmon.

 Leave Gray Worm with him and return to the main tower with a few Unsullied.

Elmon was stunned on the spot, staring blankly at Rhaegar's back, and said to himself blankly: "My...thoughts?"

 He lowered his head and looked at his hands. The knuckles were covered with calluses from sword practice and bow-drawing.

 Half a sound.

Elmon raised his head and looked at Gray Worm with his head held high with unclear eyes.

 For a moment, his eyes became firm.

Thinking of the conversation his grandfather had with him before he became seriously ill, Elmon rubbed his face and his breathing gradually became rapid.

Gray Worm has no squinting eyes, like a wooden person without emotions.

 …

 The duel in the sacred forest continued until the afternoon.

 The two knights under Tully suffered heavy losses, and their bodies were carried out of the godswood one by one.

 In the end, Edmure defeated Milov with a crushing victory.

Milov’s face was gloomy, with a fierce look in his eyes.

 The eldest brother is dead, and he should be the heir.

 The old man fell ill and his chance came.

 …

 At night.

 Edmure, who returned from the victory, held a banquet at his place, and got drunk and alone with his knights.

 Unknown to him, changes were taking place in Riverrun at night.

After Tully fell seriously ill, the affairs of the castle were divided between his two sons.

 Milov controls the treasury and warehouse.

 Edmure seizes the weapons cache and granary.

Although the two sides have not clashed head-on, the conflicts are increasingly intensifying. Dark clouds filled the sky, blocking the bright moon.

 The cold wind of early spring blew, and the inland river of Riverrun City flowed loudly and made waves.

 “Move quickly, don’t get discovered.”

 “Be ruthless and don’t waste time…”

In the dim night, a group of men in black robes walked out of the main tower and headed towards the weapons depot and granary.

There were a few others who went straight to the auxiliary castle where Edmure held the banquet.

 At the same time, in a certain basement in Riverrun.

 Several officers in charge of the garrison walked in one after another, and the flickering torches illuminated each other's gloomy faces.

“My lords, I have something to discuss.”

A figure in black robes approached, taking off his hood, revealing short black hair.

 …

 Main tower, Duke's room.

Rhaegar held a plate of fruits in his hand and walked over, escorted by several Unsullied ones.

"prince!"

 The two sworn knights are still holding on to their posts.

"Don't worry about me, I'll go in and see Duke Glover."

Rhaegar did not give the two knights a chance to refuse, and pushed the door directly in.

 The two knights were stunned for a moment and had no choice but to acquiesce.

 …

 At the entrance of the weapons depot.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　——

 The men in black robes swarmed up and cut the throats of two patrolling soldiers.

 The same scene happened near the warehouse.

As soon as the soldiers guarding the warehouse took turns, they were approached by a man in black robes under the cover of night and killed with a knife.

 “It’s settled, let’s go!”

　　The leading man in black robe wiped off the blood stains on the dagger and called his companions to leave.

Whizzing…

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of hidden arrows was shot from a distance.

A round of arrows fell, and the men in black robes were hit by arrows one after another, screaming and losing their lives.

 An officer walked out of the darkness, leading dozens of soldiers behind him.

The officer waved his hand and said calmly: "Dispose of the body and clean up the blood stains."

"yes!"

 The soldiers responded to the call, moved away the corpses on the ground, and brought out the buckets and mops prepared in advance to wipe the ground.

 …

 Main tower, a bedroom on the third floor.

Milov was lying on the big bed, holding two heavily made-up prostitutes in his arms, half asleep and having a sweet dream.

 In the dream, old Tully died of illness.

 His fat brother was chopped into pieces and his nephew was imprisoned in a dungeon.

 He became the new Duke Tully and Governor of the Three Forks.

boom-

The door of the room was kicked open from the outside, causing the two prostitutes to scream in fear.

Milov woke up immediately, scrambled to his feet, and yelled, "Who! Dare to break into this Duke's room!"

 “Uncle, your sweet dream is too late.”

Almon walked into the room wearing a black robe and stared at him coldly.

 Behind him, a group of armored and armed soldiers swarmed in.

 Pushed away two beautiful prostitutes, and **** Milov, who was naked.

Milov was frightened and shouted: "Elmon, what are you going to do? I am Uncle Qi!"

 “I know this, I don’t need you to remind me.”

With a cold face, Almon told the soldiers: "Gag his mouth and put him in a dungeon."

 “Yes, my lord.”

The soldier punched Milov in the skinny stomach, picked up a prostitute's stockings and stuffed them into his mouth.

 Drag him out of the room like a dead dog.

 …

 On the other side, the deputy fort.

The men in black robes rushed into the gate of the fortress and got into a scuffle with the guards who were keeping watch.

　It took a lot of effort to overwhelm the place with numbers.

Just after the battle, there was a burst of footsteps outside the door.

 “There are assassins, leave no one behind!”

 Dozens of well-equipped soldiers rushed into the gate and killed the men in black robes in twos and threes.

Among the soldiers, Gray Worm changed into a set of standard leather armor and led several soldiers up the stairs.

At this time, Edmure was still sleeping with his wife in his arms in the room, unaware of the danger at all.

  Gray Worm stopped when he arrived at the door of the room.

The heavily armed Count Lemon stood guard at the door, looking down calmly at the group of people ascending the stairs.

 …

 The next day.

 Hall of Riverrun.

Almon was sitting on a chair, his face looking slightly haggard.

 He understood the prince's hint and summoned his father's old ministers to strike first.

 One night, both uncles were escorted to the dungeon.

 The plan went surprisingly smoothly, which he never expected.

 However, after controlling the two uncles, how should we proceed next?

 Should we eradicate the roots and bear the name of parricide?

There is also my grandpa who is seriously ill. I don’t know if he will recover.

 What would he do if he recovered from his illness and found out that he had killed two uncles?

After thinking about it, Almon became restless and stood up irritably.

 He wanted to go see his grandpa, otherwise he would really feel unsure.

Thinking like this, he strode towards the Duke's room on the top floor.

 Not long.

Almon walked through the dim corridor and saw two sworn knights and the Unsullied guarding the door.

Seeing Elmon arrive, no one said hello.

  Indifferent to the whole process.

Almon murmured in his heart and walked to the door of the room.

 Through the closed door, he vaguely heard a familiar voice.
