Chapter 1: Crown Prince for a Day?
Westeros continent.
Aegon the Conqueror defeated the Seven Kingdoms with his sisters and wives, Queen Visenya and Queen Rhaenys.
The continent is united.
Starting from Aegon's accession to the throne, it is called the first year of Aegon, which is the year 1AC.
Take the first year as the limit.
The years before unification were BC and the years after unification were AC.
…
111 AC.
Early summer, early morning.
The capital of Westeros, King's Landing.
On the east side of the Red Fort, the wall adjoins the coastline.
Inside the wall is a small garden that is inaccessible to foreign ministers.
"White deer, dirty handkerchief, bear in the sea..."
A little boy of five or six years old with silver-blond hair and purple eyes sat under a thick weirwood tree.
He muttered something boredly.
"Another nightmare that never ends."
His name is Rhaegar Targaryen, a true dragon bloodline.
His father is Viserys Targaryen, the fifth king of Westeros.
Master of the Iron Throne.
"Your Highness Rhaegar, your birthday celebration is about to begin, and the queen is calling you over."
A girl attendant came over and reminded the little prince softly.
Rhaegar raised his head, his face was thin and as white as paper, and there were thick dark circles under his big, melancholy eyes.
He looked at the attendant and said in a low voice, "I said, I don't like birthday celebrations."
The attendant clasped his hands and tried his best to smile: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, but the queen is really calling you."
"I understand, I will come over."
Rhaegar nodded, and without embarrassment to the attendant caught in the middle, he stood up and entered the Red Castle under the guidance of the other party.
He was the first son of King Viserys.
The mother is the late Queen Emma Ayling who died in childbirth.
His birthday is also the death anniversary of his biological mother.
so……
I am really grateful to the current Queen, Lady Alison Hightower, for being able to celebrate my birthday every year.
…
The interior of the Red Fort is large, majestic and solemn.
Arriving at a certain room on the upper floor, a child's cry came from the open door.
Rhaegar signaled the attendants to leave and walked to the door.
In the room, a beautiful young woman in gorgeous clothes was holding a crying little boy.
There was a little girl drooling over the cake at her feet.
Seeing Rhaegar's thin figure from the corner of his eye, Allison immediately turned around and said apologetically: "Aegon is greedy for cake. If you don't come, I won't be able to coax him anymore."
(Note: Westerners are accustomed to naming descendants after their ancestors.)
Rhaegar walked into the room: "It doesn't matter. If he wants to eat, just give it to him. How much can he eat?"
"You are quite the brother, Rhaegar."
Allison handed Aegon to the attendant next to him, took his hand and brought him to the low table to sit down.
He said carefully: "Your father has government affairs to take care of, and Rhaenyla went off to have fun somewhere. This year, I will celebrate your birthday."
"Blow out the candles and make a wish first."
Rhaegar was silent.
Blow out the birthday candles in unison, put your hands together and close your eyes.
Suffering from frailty, he has a quiet personality and rarely talks.
Because of difficult labor, his biological mother Emma was forced to give birth to him by caesarean section.
It also didn't allow him to have a good body.
Before the age of three, he cried only once at birth.
The rest of the time, he spent in a coma, relying on human milk to maintain nutrition every day.
It was once thought by the Grand Master that he would not survive "the next day."
Therefore, he also gained the reputation of being a "Crown Prince for a Day".
Fortunately, he did not die young.
When he was three years old, he woke up from a coma under the treatment of a foreign witch.
However, he was still in poor health.
At the same time, there is a side effect.
Frequent nightmares.
There are always some strange and fragmentary fragments appearing in my sleep.
There are dragons, fire, war...
All in all terrible.
He often woke up with startles, which worsened his already weak body and made him mentally depressed for a long time.
"I want to eat, give it to me quickly!"
Suddenly, Aegon's voice sounded, and Rhaegar subconsciously raised his head.
Paji——
A chubby hand was inserted into the cake, and when it was waved, it brought up crumbs.
A piece of cream hit Legadu right in the face.
"Jesus! Watch Aegon."
Allison quickly scolded the attendant for improper care, took out a handkerchief to wipe Rhaegar, and explained:
"I'm really sorry, Aegon is a naughty monkey. If you don't like the cake, I can ask the kitchen to make a new one."
Rhaegar enjoyed the queen's service and said calmly: "It doesn't matter. My brother likes to eat. We can just share a piece."
Allison looked at Rhaegar, who had a calm face, and then at Aegon, who was holding a cake and chewing on it.
There was a moment in my heart where I couldn't hold myself tight.
Fortunately, a voice broke the damn atmosphere.
"Queen, the king is discussing your hunting matter and asked you to come over."
A sword-wielding knight wearing silver armor and white robes walked to the door and informed with a solemn expression.
This is a white knight, the King's Kingsguard.
There are seven members of the Kingsguard, who are completely loyal to the king and obey any orders from the king.
Because he wears a white robe, he is called the White Knight.
"Okay, I'll go."
Alison glanced at Rhaegar apologetically, and said softly: "Your father called me, and I have to go over immediately. If you have any gifts you want, you can tell me now."
"No."
Rhaegar answered neatly.
It seems that he thought of something: "If it is true, I hope to take less medicine, it is very painful."
Allison smiled reluctantly: "You have to ask your father about this."
After that, he got up and left with the white knight.
Don't forget to tell the attendants to take good care of the princes and princesses and not to overeat.
Allison stepped out and the little princess, who was sitting on the side picking up cake crumbs from the ground to eat, turned to look out the window.
He said without thinking: "Don't disturb the sleeping beast."
Rhaegar gave her a strange look.
The little princess is Helena, the daughter of Queen Allison, who is 2 years old this year.
They don't have much contact.
According to rumors from the attendants, Helena seems to be different from ordinary children.
Always immersed in his own world alone.
He talks nonsense in a nonchalant manner and talks in a dazed manner.
It seemed that the attendants were right.
When Allison walked away, Rhaegar turned his attention to Aegon who was feasting.
"Do you like eating?"
Rhaegar walked up to Aegon and asked softly.
Aegon didn't even look at him, he casually took out a piece of butter and stuffed it into Helena's hand, and continued eating.
Seeing this, Rhaegar raised the corners of his lips: "I don't forget to share a piece of cake with my sister. He is such a good brother and deserves a reward."
"What?"
After hearing the reward, Aegon looked at him, with clear stupidity in his eyes.
"Eat as much as you like, I'll give it all to you."
Rhaegar reached out to touch the back of Aegon's head and pressed down hard on the cake on the table.
boom--
Little Aegon smashed his whole face into the greasy cake, causing the attendants on the side to exclaim.
Helena watched this scene curiously, licking the cream with her little tongue.
Rhaegar let go of Aegon and walked up to her.
Hands caressing Helena's silver hair.
"Your Highness Rhaegar, please don't do this, the queen will be angry."
The squire was shocked, and while wiping the stain on Aegon, he begged for the little princess.
Rhaegar ignored her.
Just rubbed Helena’s little head.
"You have to get food by yourself. Don't pick up food from the ground or food given by others."
"Brother, hehe~"
Helena didn't know why, she clapped her little hands and laughed at Aegon, who had cream all over his head and face.
"Silly."
Rhaegar took back the hand that wiped the cream, walked around Aegon who had just started crying, and walked out of the room.
In the original work, the crown prince's name was Belron, which was the name of Viserys's father, to commemorate him.
In the book, the main character is called Rhaegar.
Because the author doesn't like the name Belron very much.
Prince Rhaegar in Game of Thrones, I prefer this title.
