Chapter 309 Split the Green Party
evening.
Dark clouds covered the bright moon, and the sea breeze blew against the walls of the Stone Drum Tower, echoing the sound of beating drums.
Crunch——
A door opened, and Rega, dressed in black, stepped out.
He looked back and sighed: "Father, please have a good rest."
After his decisions were denied and the Grand Maester revealed his true colors, Viserys was in a bad mood and huddled in his room to numb his nerves with alcohol.
In one afternoon, I was extremely decadent.
I don’t know if I will regain my determination to train my dragon.
…
After walking down the top floor of the Stone Drum Tower, Rega walked down the stairs, intending to go back to his room to rest.
He shared a room with Rhaenyra.
The siblings can always tell little secrets and talk to each other.
After walking around the corner, a maid waited cautiously.
Rhaegar stopped and cast his gaze.
The maid lowered her head, carefully handed over a piece of letter paper, and whispered: "Letter from Lady Sara."
"Got it." Rhaegar took the letter and waved the other person to leave.
The maid ran down the stairs as if she had been granted amnesty.
Sarah was very good at training her subordinates, and trained the maids in the castle properly for Rhaenyra.
Rhaegar found a deserted corner, opened the letter and looked at it.
"Boros died... suspected poisoning... Rhaenys..."
The more Lei Jia looked at it, the more frightened he became, and his brows wanted to wrinkle into a knot.
First, Borros died on the way back to Storm's End, confirming his and Helena's prophecy.
According to Sara's speculation, Bolos seemed to have died of poisoning, but the poison was of high quality and the bachelor could not find out the cause of the poisoning.
Rhaenys, who was invited, witnessed the death of her cousin Borros with her own eyes. Lady Elena, the widow who stayed with her cousin at Storm's End, was conducting a thorough investigation into the cause of death.
He suddenly clenched his fists, holding the letter tightly in his palms, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on Rega's back.
"Boros is actually dead!"
Rhaegar murmured, looking a little dazed.
The Duke of Yijing will die if he wants to. If it is really murder, the person behind the scenes is really bold.
This scourge must be eradicated!
Looking back, Rhaegar considered whether to show the letter to his father.
Rhaenys sent a message to King's Landing as soon as she returned to Storm's End, reporting the death of Boros.
The raven arrives at King's Landing first and is transferred to Dragonstone, which will take a lot of time on the way.
Sarah rushed to Storm's End Castle all night long and sent the message directly to Dragonstone through the raven, which made the message faster.
Before taking a step forward, Rhaegar gave up the idea.
The trip to Dragonstone was all about dragon training.
Not only would Aemond be able to tame a dragon, it would be best to encourage his father to tame a dragon.
If this matter is revealed, it will definitely cause shock.
My father's already damaged will to train his dragon may be difficult to recover.
Besides!
Rega stirred up some memories and muttered to himself: "Boros has a high probability of dying unnaturally. Someone must be planning something."
Use the simplest possible reasoning.
Who benefits the most from Boros's death?
The widow Lady Elena, a distant cousin with inheritance rights, the Cullen family, the power-seeking in-laws...
Rhaegar searched for the beneficiaries related to the Baratheon family one by one and carefully analyzed the possibilities.
After a while, Rega shook his head and said in deep thought: "No, these people won't take such big risks to gain or lose their interests."
Another point.
These people do not have the ability to collect poisons that silently kill people.
Lady Elena and Bolos have a good relationship as a couple, which can be seen from the fact that they gave birth to four daughters.
Bolos had no brothers, and his distant cousins were too far apart to have any contact with him.
The Cullen family's clan is in Nightsong City and has guarded the Dorne border for generations. The clan leader Royce is Boros's father-in-law, so there is no reason to kill the lord.
Turning around, Rhaegar sat on the staircase railing, thinking over and over again.
Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a green potted plant placed by the fence.
A flash of green came into view, and an idea flashed in Rhaegar's mind, and he murmured: "Marriage!"
Bolus died, he had no brothers or sons, and the position of heir was vacant.
There are only two categories of people with inheritance rights.
1. The four daughters of Bolus.
2. Distant cousins with thin blood ties.
Westeros follows the tradition of the Andals, and men have priority over women in inheritance.
But there is no precedent for a woman to inherit a title and territory, and Jane in the Valley is the best example.
Jeyne inherited the Eyrie when she was 3 years old and became the Duchess of the Vale.
The bloodline of the distant cousins of the Baratheon family has withered, and the people are scattered, making it difficult to achieve success.
Lady Elena, Bolos's widow, was the actual ruler of Storm's End at this time.
Plus cousin Rhaenys was sitting on the sidelines.
Lady Elena will definitely not let her cousin inherit Storm's End and instead imitate Jeyne to promote her daughter to the position of duke.
This triggers a problem.
A woman will eventually marry.
In order to keep her power and prevent her husband from seizing power through marriage, Jeyne had been avoiding talking about the marriage until she met Rhaegar.
Assuming that Kassandra in the Four Storms inherited Storm's End, she would be Jeyne II.
At this moment, Four Storms are screening for marriage with Imond.
If Aemond marries Cassandra, and Cassandra inherits Storm's End, Aemond can seize power.
In this way, the storm land can be controlled.
A storm arose in his mind. Rhaegar woke up from a dream and said in shock: "Allison, Laris!"
In order to seize the power of Storm's End through marriage, apart from the marriage candidate Aemond, the key figures who benefited the most were Alison and Otto's so-called Green Party.
Otto has an arrogant personality and is cautious in his actions. It is impossible for him to dare to murder the Duke of a Realm.
Larris is different.
After a brief contact, Rega realized that the other person was a person who had been in a dark environment for a long time and was depressed.
Laris served as the king's interrogator at the court, assisting the Minister of Justice Jaspi in interrogating prisoners.
No prisoner who has been interrogated by Laris has refused to speak or confess.
The torture methods are said to be extremely cruel.
Allison has a very twisted personality, being submissive to her father and husband, and trying her best to play the role of a good wife and mother.
In fact, he is proud at heart, does not want to be inferior to others, and is extremely protective of his shortcomings.
After a long period of internal friction, Alisson was restless and eager to make changes.
Larisse is her best partner.
Recalling the night of the hunt in the Kingswood, Rhaegar saw Allison conspiring in secret with Laris.
Thinking of this, Rhaegar couldn't help but wonder: "When did you come up with the idea of poisoning Boros to make a living?"
It was around this time that his dream foreshadowed the death of White Deer.
Comparing the time of Bolus's death in Sarah's letter, it is almost consistent with Helena's predicted time.
"There are many coincidences in the world."
Rega's eyes flickered, and then he said: "It's too much of a coincidence, it must be abnormal."
No matter what the truth is, Alisson and Larris have been listed as dangerous elements by him.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to do something.
…
The next day.
In the town of Dragonstone.
Rhaegar wore a black robe and led a group of dragon guards to walk.
Behind him, Aemond, Helena and Cassandra and Malisan from the Four Storms followed closely.
The other two of the Four Storms were too young and were automatically eliminated by the two older sisters.
After walking on a rural dirt road, there were densely packed stone and wooden houses on both sides, and occasionally one or two vendors appeared.
Standing in the town and looking out, the towering Longshan Mountain is clearly visible.
It was an active volcano that had stood tall and tall for countless years, surrounded by mountains and jungles.
Emond ran forward excitedly and couldn't wait to ask: "Brother, when are we going to train the dragon?"
Rega's face hidden under the hood smiled slightly: "Are you anxious?"
"Uh-huh."
Emond was unambiguous and nodded vigorously: "I want to go to Longshan, where Wormisor is sleeping!"
After seeing the wild dragon sheep thief, he aroused the desire to have the strongest victory.
All gray shadows and blizzards were forgotten by him.
All he could think about was his great-grandfather Jaehaerys's dragon, Vormithor the Bronze Fury.
Rhaegar rubbed his head and asked curiously: "Why not choose Silver Wing?"
He didn't ask about the sheep thief. After all, no one likes an ugly mud dragon.
"Because Vormithor is stronger, second only to Vhagar and Glutton!"
Aemond answered without thinking.
Rhaegar raised his eyebrows, his eyes scrutinizing.
A good self-motivated person, but a little too self-motivated.
Reminds him of the cruel King Maegor I.
When she was young, Maegor refused to hatch dragon eggs and tame young dragons, so she was ridiculed by her sister-in-law Alyssa Velaryon.
And Maegor's answer was this: "Only the strongest dragon is worthy of me!"
Later he seized the throne from his nephew Aegon.
Feeling his eldest brother's strange gaze, Aemond shuddered and realized that he had made his eldest brother unhappy.
After thinking for a while, he added: "Father also wants to train a dragon. Silver Wing is gentler and suitable for father to contact."
Hearing this, Rega pursed his lips and smiled: "It's quite sincere."
He didn't care whether Aemond was ambitious or not.
Most Targaryens have this arrogant temperament.
During the conversation, he saw a good quality in Emond.
--honest.
Perhaps it was because of his status as Rhaegar's brother, but also because of his usual gentle treatment.
Compared to others, Aemond was closer to Rhaegar, speaking without hesitation and saying whatever he wanted.
This is good, at least it's much better than Aegon who only knows how to drink and pick up prostitutes.
Putting his arm around Aemond's shoulders, Rhaegar turned to look at Cassandra and said gently: "I want to share some brotherly whispers with Aemond. Please forgive me."
Looking at the graceful Rhaegar, Cassandra was at a loss and whispered: "Your Highness, please help yourself."
"Thank you." Rhaegar smiled politely and walked towards a well with Aemond in his arms.
Cassandra stared at Rhaegar's back reluctantly, folded her hands on her chest, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "You're welcome."
That's a crown prince!
Handsome in appearance, superb in martial arts, riding a giant dragon to conquer the Stone Steps Islands...
Piece by piece, this is her ideal marriage partner.
Seeing her sister looking like a girl in love with her child, Ma Lishan's expression changed slightly and she quickly bumped into her and reminded her: "Rhaega has an engagement, don't forget our purpose!"
She also likes excellent princes and dreams of becoming a queen.
But her face is not as good as any of her sisters, and she knows her place better.
Helena hung at the back, looking at the two sisters whispering, suspicion flashing in her eyes.
Of course, no one cares what they are thinking.
Rhaegar held Aemond in his arms as the brothers sat on the edge of the well.
"Brother, what do you have to tell me?"
Aemond leaned in his brother's arms, his eyes blank.
