Chapter 272 The Unknown Curse

Facing Senela with a cold attitude, Rhaegar smiled noncommittally, and the hesitation in his heart disappeared.

In just a few words, it was clear that the rumors in Westeros were true.

This great-aunt really has no feelings for her family.

No longer feeling awkward, Rhaegar said calmly: "You are the only surviving descendant of my great-grandfather. As the heir of the family, I should come to see you."

After all, Senila was his great-aunt.

Just don’t know.

Now that I've come to Volantis and heard about her, I should still see her.

"What's so good about me? A scourge that brings shame to the family."

Senila's face turned blue and white, and she suddenly coughed heavily.

A male slave kneeling beside the bed quickly got up, picked up the wine bottle on the bedside table, poured wine, and served it with respectful hands.

"Get out of here."

Senila took the wine and took a sip, then waved the two male slaves away with disgust.

Lei Jia watched coldly and gave up his position at the door of the room.

Gedel turned his head and whispered softly: "Mother is older and her body is not as strong as before."

Lei Jia stared intently and had no idea.

If he remembered correctly, Senila would be 54 years old this year.

Properly old.

Sighing, Rhaegar took a few steps forward, pulled up a chair, sat down, and asked his doubts: "Auntie, why didn't you go back to Westeros in the first place?"

Senela had many opportunities to return to Westeros, but she never did.

"I have a life in Volantis."

Senira stopped her coughing and gasped: "King's Landing is just a burrow full of rats. I'm afraid I'll have nightmares when I go back."

Rega frowned slightly, seeming to hear an overtone.

After thinking for a while, he said deliberately: "My great-grandfather scolded you, but I have always missed you in my heart."

"My stepmother was Miss Allison of the Hightowers, who cared for my great-grandfather during his final years."

"The reason why my great-grandfather chose Allison to serve is that he often mistaken her for you."

Speaking of this, Rhaegar watched Senela's expression changes keenly and said sternly: "When he died, he was still holding Allison's hand and calling your name, confusedly thinking that it was you who came across the sea to see him for the last time. "

He didn't lie. These are all historical facts clearly recorded in the family's brief history.

As a child, Allison also told stories about his great-grandfather.

What he said was so profound that even those who are not hard-hearted would be touched by it.

As expected, Senila's face drooped and her breathing became somewhat heavy.

Rhaegar continued to ask: "You are the oldest living Targaryen. Don't you want to return to your family?"

"Stop talking nonsense, I would have gone back a long time ago if I wanted to."

Senila's voice was low, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were deeper, as if she said with nostalgia: "I have so many brothers and sisters, but in the end, only the two most annoying ones survived my father."

"My great-grandfather was called King Renrui. During his reign, the kingdom was peaceful."

Rhaegar spread his hands.

Looking at the two continents of Westeros and Essos, the average life span of people is not high.

Coupled with the fact that he got married and had children at an early age, my great-grandfather indeed survived two generations at the age of 69.

Senela glanced at Rhaegar and murmured: "Boy, don't you think it's weird?"

Rega's heart moved, and his eyes showed a searching look.

As expected, there was a secret in what Senira just said.

Senela looked melancholy and said blankly: "Targaryen comes from fire, Westeros is too cold!"

"Auntie, can you tell me more specifically?"

Rhaegar was confused.

"How stupid!"

Senela hated the fact that iron cannot be transformed into steel, and gritted her teeth and said: "The land of Westeros does not welcome Targaryens. It is full of peeping silverfish."

Rega was shocked when he heard this, his eyes flickered and said: "You mean, someone is trying to kill the heir of great-grandfather?"

My great-grandfather had thirteen children. Except for a few children who died young, most of the children died unexpectedly in adulthood.

This matter really arouses my imagination.

Senila shook her head and said simply: "I don't know, I don't know, it's nothing."

"Then you..."

Rhaegar was stunned and wanted to say that she had wandered off to Lys and Volantis.

"I simply don't want to be controlled by my father. He is too rigid and doesn't value me as a daughter at all."

Senela was very resentful and expressed her true thoughts: "King's Landing is a rat's nest, not suitable for real dragons to live in."

Rhaegar remained silent.

Senila opened her chatterbox and muttered like she was venting: "Those of my sisters died of puerperal fever, died of dystocia, fell to death while riding horses, and committed suicide by jumping into the river..."

"There are also Aemon and Baelon. They are my father's favorite children and great dragon knights."

"The result? They all died violently, and they didn't even sit on the side of the Iron Throne."

Rhaegar listened silently and kept thinking in his mind.

It can be analyzed from Senira's words that although she is in Volantis, she has been paying attention to the family secretly.

As she said.

Rhaegar's grandmother Alessa died in childbirth, and her maternal grandmother Daniela died of puerperal fever.

There was also Sister Magna Targaryen, who took care of children suffering from greyscale, and unfortunately died of the infection herself.

Vesanrilla Targaryen, after the death of her grandmother Alyssa, wanted to climb into the bed of her grandfather Belron and become the queen of the Seven Kingdoms.

Belron rejected her and arranged for her to be betrothed to the Lord of White Harbor.

In order to escape from the marriage, she changed into a maid's clothes and ran away on horseback at night, breaking her neck on the way.

And my great-grandfather’s youngest child is also a daughter, Gerry Targaryen.

She was seduced by a wandering singer and became pregnant, giving birth to an illegitimate son. She drowned herself in grief and fear.

This means 6 daughters have died.

Among the male heirs, Aemon was assassinated and Berron was suspected of being poisoned.

Counting three children who died in infancy.

The only real long-term surviving offspring are Senira and Dragonless Wegen.

At this thought, Rega shuddered and shuddered.

He finally understood that Senila's "most annoying" sentence outlived his great-grandfather.

If there is really any conspiracy.

Senela is indeed much safer away from Westeros.

Wei Geng, the Dragonless One, is a famous bachelor who devotes himself to research and is marginalized from his family.

He died of natural causes the second year after his great-grandfather passed away and ended up with a good death.

Senela was still talking to herself: "My brother, who has a cold nature, doesn't like his sister or dragons, so he insists on becoming a bachelor."

Rhaegar remained silent, his mind racing.

Vaygon Targaryen, the only third male heir of his great-grandfather.

He refused to marry his sister Daniela, who was supposed to marry him, and did not like Senila, who was similar in age, so he resolutely went to the school city.

"He seems to have been dead for more than ten years. I can't remember clearly. I haven't paid attention to Westeros for a long time."

Senila scratched her silver hair irritably, started coughing again, and kept mumbling: "We passed the letter after the 101st Congress. He was bedridden at that time and his health was very bad."

"Don't worry about me when you have time. Go to the academy in Old Town and have a look. Wei Geng should have a lot of research results."

Rhaegar blinked, doubt rising in his heart.

"Go to the school city..."

Wei Geng, the Dragonless One, had obtained bachelor's links of various materials during his lifetime, and was indeed very knowledgeable.

Senila coughed violently, and it was really uncomfortable to hold it in. She gasped and said, "Wei Geng said that the bachelors in the city are all idiots who think highly of themselves. He is very unsociable."

Lei Jia twisted his fingers under his gray robe and said seriously: "I will go to the academy."

Senela would not mention Vaigon without reason.

There must be some reason that even she doesn't know.

Thinking of Senela's previous remarks about Targaryen not being suitable for Westeros, Rhaegar decided to go to the Citadel after returning.

"Cough cough cough..."

Senila's cough became worse and worse, and she didn't get better even after taking two sips of wine. She lay on the bed and beat her chest.

His face turned red and he looked uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Rhaegar was a little worried about this great-aunt's physical condition.

Gedel whispered: "Mother has an old habit. I'll arrange a room for you to rest."

Rega shook his head: "No, it's enough for you to take good care of your great-aunt."

After that, he planned to leave.

I met this grandma’s blood relative and learned some little-known secrets.

It's a worthwhile trip.

Watching Rhaegar walk out of the room, Gadel and Daniela followed closely.

Gaidel said flatteringly: "It's late at night outside. I'll find some beautiful girls for you to spend the night comfortably."

Rhaegar's face turned cold, he glanced at Daniela and said nothing.

Danila was of Targaryen blood and was reduced to a prostitute, and he felt angry from the bottom of his heart.

Even if it is an illegitimate daughter, he thinks it is a stain on the bloodline.

Gedel was very smart and immediately figured out the reason, and explained: "Daniela's mother was a prostitute. She was raised in a brothel after her death. She was bought by a Reese businessman at a high price just two days ago."

Rhaegar looked at Daniella questioningly.

Daniella lowered her head and nodded: "I didn't want to be a prostitute, but that Lys businessman gave my grandmother a lot of gold."

She was taking a stand and was being sold.

Rhaegar still had a bad expression and said coldly: "She was sold like livestock because of your greed."

Gedel was speechless and couldn't explain clearly.

The price given by the Reese merchant was indeed too high!

Rhaegar ignored it and walked out.

Daniela took two quick steps, grabbed his black robe, and whispered: "I also have a sister, can you take her away too?"

Rhaegar stopped and turned around to look at Gedel.

Gedel looked panicked and quickly explained: "Leila is still young and works in the kitchen of a brothel."

Rhaegar took out a bag of gold coins and threw it out, and said to Danila: "Go and take your sister away, and take away the other Targaryen illegitimate daughters as well."

There are so many illegitimate children on Dragonstone that they will be placed there at worst.

"No, mother only has two illegitimate daughters, and the other one is married."

Gedel defended himself first, for fear of deepening the misunderstanding.

Daniella also nodded and hurriedly took small steps to find her sister in the kitchen.

As soon as she left, the empty corridor was filled with only the faint sounds coming from the rooms on both sides.

After a moment of silence, Rhaegar asked: "Do you have two illegitimate brothers?"

Gedel did not expect that the other party would take the initiative to speak, so he was flattered and said: "Yes, the eldest brother is a businessman, and the younger brother has a consul father, and they have both left the brothel."

Rhaegar's eyes flashed and he thought of the two consuls of the Elephant Party.
