Chapter 238 Aegon’s Little Aegon
The next day, dawn.
The Great Hall of Riverrun.
Old Tully's two sons and a group of retainers stood on both sides.
There is a separate room above the hall, and Rhaegar, dressed in black, is sitting on the lord's throne.
Ring bell…
Helena stood at his legs, ringing a bell that called for the servants.
Rhaenyra snatched it away and glared at her.
Helena shrank her neck and lay on Rhaegar's lap, not daring to say a word.
boom--
The door to the hall opened, and Robb Hewen, wearing an iron helmet, strode in.
After a day and night of riding fast, we finally arrived at Riverrun City.
Rega put his hands on the armrests of the chair and raised his head: "Mirov, get out of the queue."
The person whose name was called was Old Tully's second son.
Milov Tully lowered his head and walked out of the queue tremblingly.
This man had a wretched face and was as skinny as a stick, and it looked like he had been drained by alcohol and sex.
Rhaegar looked down at him and frowned: "There are a thousand defenders in Riverrun, why do you avoid fighting?"
After letting Old Tully's sons hang out for a day and a night, it's time to weigh things up a bit.
Milov did not dare to raise his head and said weakly: "Prince, my father said that we should defend the city, but he did not say to send troops."
Rhaegar sneered and called out to Tully's youngest son.
This guy is as fat as a pig and has fluffy red hair. He looks like the reincarnation of a wild boar.
Without waiting for Rhaegar to ask questions, he rushed to speak: "I want to go to war, but no one listens to my orders."
As he spoke, his eyes widened and the fat on his face trembled.
With such a not-so-smart look, it's no wonder that no one wants to obey his orders.
"You two, get out of here!"
Rega didn't want to take another look and scolded him in a deep voice.
The Tully brothers left dejectedly from the side door as if they had been granted amnesty.
Riverrun is obviously the castle of the Tully family, and this meeting is also for the safety of the Riverlands.
They don't care at all and just want to avoid responsibility.
Rhaegar helplessly held his forehead and worried about Old Tully for two seconds.
At this time, a black-haired boy walked out of the queue and asked: "Prince, I heard that the rebels were besieging Harrenhal. Are Lord Leonor and my grandfather still safe?"
Rhaegar glanced at him and said, "Lord Leonor is still recovering from his injuries. Duke Tully is fine."
He knew this boy.
The grandson of Old Tully, the only son of the heir who died in the rebellion.
Just turned 16 years old, Elmon Tully.
Hearing that his grandfather was fine, Elmon breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "Prince, since the two adults are fine, have you come up with a way to deal with the Blackwood and Bracken families?"
His character is similar to that of old Tully and his late father.
I don’t have any big skills, but I have a lot of small thoughts.
Rhaegar looked around the hall. None of the important vassals were there, and there was a lack of leading figures.
After taking Almon's question, he said solemnly: "The Blackwood and Bracken families will gather people to rebel, and they will be severely punished."
There was an uproar in the hall.
Elmon's eyes flashed with joy.
His father is dead and his two uncles are useless.
As long as his grandfather Tully lives, he will probably be the next Lord of Riverrun.
If the royal family is used to defeat the Blackwood and Bracken families, they may even deprive them of some of their territory.
Then his future governance environment will be greatly improved.
"Robb." Rhaegar pointed out one of his own.
Robb heard the sound and came out of the queue, head held high.
Rhaegar pondered: "According to Lord Leonor's proposal, we will first negotiate with the two families. You are the heir of Earl Blackwood. You will lead the way to negotiate."
Note that the wording is to lead the way.
Then, he looked at Elmon and said carefully: "You should know what your two uncles are like. Riverrun, as the ducal family of the Riverlands, should send a representative."
"this……"
Elmon was slightly startled and hesitated.
He could be considered a knight since he was a child, but he had never been on the battlefield.
I used to live a pampered life under the wings of my grandfather and father.
He was suddenly asked to represent the family or meet with the rebel leader, and the pressure increased sharply.
Rega tilted his head and said with a smile: "What, you don't dare?"
Compared to the Brackens who besieged Harrenhal, the Blackwoods were relatively calm.
With Robb leading the way, Elmon would hold back.
The three generations of the Tully family were all ruined.
Hearing the playfulness in the prince's mouth, Almon cheered up and said loudly: "Reporting to the prince, I voluntarily come forward on behalf of the family to persuade the Blackwood family to surrender."
Whoever represents the family basically hints at the selection of the heir.
You have to dare even if you don’t dare!
"very good!"
Rhaegar sat up straight and said in a different tone: "You will be the messengers, inviting Lord Blackwood to come to Riverrun for negotiations."
We cannot expect an illegitimate child and a small Tully to carry out such a big matter as negotiation.
Elmon was stunned, wondering why: "Earl Blackwood's army is stationed outside the city, why are they willing to come to see you?"
"Then you don't have to worry about it."
Rhaegar specifically warned: "Invite him here and ask to meet the Targaryen heir apparent."
There has been no movement from the Blackwood family to attack.
The idea is to make a profit by being a fisherman.
The three dragons circled overhead, and then sent Robb and Elmon to invite them.
A warning and a gesture of kindness.
Earl Blackwood still has his sanity and would like to end things honorably.
The order was given, and Robb and Elmon had no room to refuse.
"In compliance with the prince's order, we will set off immediately."
Robb simply turned around and walked away.
Almon hesitated and followed suit.
As soon as the two left, Rhaegar looked at the maester at Riverrun and said, "Write a letter inviting Earl Bracken to pay homage to the crown prince, and send it to Stonehedge by raven."
The bachelor was stunned for a moment and then retreated.
We have agreed to be courteous first and then attack with force, so we need to do it with style.
If the two earls come to Riverrun, they will capture it and escort them to King's Landing.
If you dare to refuse...
Three dragons circled above Riverrun.
…
after one day.
The camp of the Blackwood family.
In the big tent, Robb and Elmon were carried in tied up.
A middle-aged man with black hair and a resolute face had been waiting with Samwell Blackwood for a long time.
Seeing an old man and a young man, Robb struggled a few times and moaned with his blocked mouth.
Earl Blackwood frowned and ordered: "Untie."
After all, he is his illegitimate son, and it is outrageous to tie him up like this.
"Lord Earl, we are Prince Rhaegar's envoys, inviting you to Riverrun to meet with the prince and negotiate."
Without the rag to gag him, Robb revealed his purpose in one breath.
He didn't call him "Father", which would cause discomfort to both parties.
"Brother Robb, please take a breath and speak slowly."
Samwell helped him untie the rope and asked strangely: "The prince wants his father to receive him?"
Robb nodded: "The prince intends to persuade the Blackwood family to surrender, and does not want to cause too many killings."
"Haha, he thinks that having a dragon means he is invincible?"
Earl Blackwood sneered and was not convinced.
Hearing this, Robb's expression paused, and he lowered his head and pondered.
Earl Blackwood snorted coldly and asked, "Robb, let me ask you another question."
The illegitimate child in front of me is quite capable, and he has been carefully cultivated.
He planned to leave his eldest son, Samwell, to be his deputy in the future.
Unexpectedly, the Stone Step Islands erupted and became the commander of the Second Son Regiment under the Crown Prince.
Now, let’s talk head-on with my father.
"I didn't think about anything. I just recalled how big Crowtree City is."
Robb raised his head and said proudly, "You can refuse. Then the dragon flames will be hard to escape. I might still be able to inherit your territory and castle."
"How dare you, who gave you the courage to talk to me like this!"
Earl Blackwood was furious, pointing at his nose and shouting curses.
Even if the head of the family dies, an illegitimate son will not be able to inherit the territory and castle.
This bastard was just deliberately irritating him.
etc……
Deliberately angering him?
Lord Blackwood realized later and looked at Robb with complicated eyes.
The other party wanted to anger him so that he could think clearly about the pros and cons.
Earl Blackwood regained his senses and asked directly: "What does the Crown Prince plan to do with the family?"
"I don't know!" Robb said simply.
"Brother Robb, you are the prince's bodyguard. Didn't the prince reveal it?" Samwell asked doubtfully.
Robb shook his head and said seemingly unintentionally: "The family only had one conflict with the army of Riverrun. No matter how troublesome it is, it can't be compared to the Bracken family."
Samwell blinked and looked at his father with a fair face.
Lord Blackwood was deep in thought, obviously hearing the meaning of Robb's words.
The Bracken family is the worst offender.
quite a while.
Earl Blackwood rubbed his brows with a headache and said: "I will go to see the crown prince, and Samwell will stay to manage the army."
"Yes, father."
Samwell responded with some concern.
…
at the same time.
The bachelors of Stonehedge City received the raven message and handed it to Earl Bracken as soon as possible.
Earl Bracken's name is Amos Bracken. He is a young man with brown curly hair and a square face.
After receiving the message from the raven, Amos checked it line by line.
A good while.
With an angry look on his face, Amos tore up the letter randomly and cursed: "Damn it, you blatantly tricked me into entering Riverrun, you think I'm a fool!"
After committing such a serious crime, entering Riverrun now would be like throwing yourself into a trap.
The bachelor reminded: "My lord, the spies said that there are three dragons in Riverrun. It would be better for you to go and see them."
When fighting against three dragons, it is better to strive for a lighter punishment.
Amos glared angrily and cursed: "Fart, can I still survive if I go?"
The bachelor lowered his head and said nothing, sighing in his heart.
Seeing this, Amos fidgeted and said: "Go and ask that stupid pig to make more wildfires, and call the priestess here. I want to ask about countermeasures."
"My lord, Tru was a bachelor, you should respect him."
The maester argued displeasedly.
Amos couldn't hear it, and said angrily: "Don't mince words with me, just go if I tell you to!"
People who have been expelled from the school city have no dignity left.
The bachelor was helpless and walked away with a sullen face.
Not long after.
A foreign woman with a voluptuous figure wearing a red robe came over.
…
Go back two days.
Bloodstone Island.
Aegon finished entertaining himself and got up from the bed with disheveled hair.
Lanino glanced at his fair body, carrying summer red and smiling: "I found a bottle of good wine, let's drink some together?"
"Keep your distance, I haven't tasted men's sex yet."
Aegon put on some clothes randomly and walked out of bed irritably.
The taste of Ranino is well known.
Although Aegon was not picky about women, he had not yet walked the path of a man.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You are my cousin. I will not attack you unless you volunteer."
Lanino had a gentle voice and shook the wine bottle in his hand.
He simply came to share the wine.
Aegon shook his dick, and the mucus was all over his stomach. He let out a disgusting sigh: "What kind of good wine can there be on the island? Even washing my dick makes me feel dirty."
As he spoke, he snatched the wine bottle from Lanino's hand and bit the cork with his teeth.
boom--
Pulling out the cork, Aegon poured wine into his crotch with a flip of his hand, rinsing away the sticky little Aegon.
"Don't!"
Lanino exclaimed, heartbroken: "This is Dorne's summer red, aged for ten years!"
Unfortunately, it was too late.
The wine bottle was poured out with a splash, and Aegon threw it on the ground, shattering crisply.
He raised his head, revealing a pair of blank eyes surrounded by dark circles. He didn't hear clearly: "Ten years of summer red?"
Lanino looked helpless and squeezed out the words through his teeth: "Yes, a bottle is worth a hundred gold dragons."
"Gan!"
Aegon's expression changed, and he broke down and said, "If you hadn't told me earlier, my dick wouldn't be worth a hundred golden dragons."
"Then you should really chop it up." Lanino gritted his teeth.
