Chapter 34 Leonor’s Proposal

"You don't need to be sorry. Every Targaryen is obsessed with dragons, and it's not uncommon to make poor judgments on impulse."

Looking at Rhaegar lying on the bed enduring pain, Ilic had no right to be angry.

At the mention of the dragon, anger surged in Lei Jia's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I was already on the verge of taming the Dream Fire."

"There was an accident?"

Eric realized that the matter was not simple and asked with a frown.

Rhaegar said with anger: "Dreamfire is about to accept me, but a chain imprisons it, making it unable to even stand up."

"The master recognition ceremony between me and Meng Huo was forcibly interrupted by that chain!"

At the end of the sentence, Rhaegar almost roared from his throat.

There were red bloodshot eyes, which connected with the purple pupils, forming a strange color difference.

Failure is not terrible.

Blocked success is the worst sin.

Ilic did not expect that things would turn out like this. He pulled Menas unkindly and threatened: "You will check the dragon's lair regularly. What's going on with the chain?"

Even if he hasn't had much contact with dragons, he knows that the chains that tie a dragon are usually long enough and will not affect the dragon's free movement.

As Rhaegar said, Dreamfire's situation is anything but ordinary.

Ilic had reason to suspect that the illegitimate bachelor was murdering the prince.

Being grabbed by his collar and lifted high up, Menas was frightened and said in a panic:

"It's not me. I'm only responsible for cleaning bones and dragon dung. These are dirty and tiring jobs that no one does. How can I dare to touch a giant dragon?"

"Who else is it if it's not you, Menglong? Or is it the Bachelor of Bath you call me?"

Eric obviously had no intention of letting him go, so he punched him twice in the face, causing his nose to bleed.

Menas screamed and kept explaining: "It's really not me. The only ones who can change the chains of the dragon are the dragon hunters. Those guys can appease the dragon!"

He defended himself hoarsely.

The noise made Rhaegar's burns even more painful, and he said in annoyance: "Tie him up first. We will return to the Red Castle immediately. This matter must be reported to my father."

The wound hurt so much that he couldn't concentrate on thinking. He only wanted to do two things now.

The first is to go home and find your parents.

The second is to find out who changed Meng Huo's chains privately and then fed him to the dragon.

Ilic said without objection: "Yes, Prince."

He threw Menas to the ground, took off his belt, and tied his hands behind his back.

After subduing the helpless illegitimate bachelor, Ilic gently carried Rhaegar out.

The carriage was just outside the gate of Dragon Cave, and Ilic walked steadily and quickly.

Ignoring the driver's frightened look, Rhaegar was placed flat on the spacious seat of the carriage.

He kicked Menas into the coachman's arms and said, "Tie him to the back of the carriage and let him run with it."

At the end, he reminded: "The prince is injured. The carriage can be fast, but not bumpy."

"Yes, Sir."

The coachman had never seen such a battle before. He obediently tied Menas in the trunk and blocked his mouth with a rag.

Complete the mission and drive the carriage back to the Red Keep.

…

Red Castle, King's Bedroom.

After watching the tourney all morning, Viserys returned to his room tiredly and lamented his lack of energy.

"Call the Prime Minister over and say that the King has something to discuss."

After punching his lower back, Viserys shouted towards the door.

An attendant responded outside the door.

Within ten minutes, Prime Minister Leonor opened the door and walked in.

"Your Majesty, do you have anything to discuss?"

Leonor's fat body stood beside the table and asked respectfully.

Viserys waited for the attendant to pour a glass of wine for each of them and signaled them to go out.

When there were only two people left in the room, Viserys shook his wine glass and said melancholy:

"Recently, letters proposing marriage to Rhaenyra have almost piled up. I have been hesitant about what kind of partner to choose for her."

Leonor looked hesitant and said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, I think there is a more important thing waiting for you to decide than choosing a husband for the princess."

"Oh, is there anything more important right now than Rhaenyra's marriage?"

Viserys asked amusedly.

Leonor couldn't help but smile. His eyes never left the king's face since he entered the door.

His rich life experience has cultivated his taciturn character, and he also has a pair of eyes that can see people's hearts.

Leonor knew that the king was pretending to be stupid and habitually avoided problems.

After pouring the red wine in the glass into his stomach, Leonor boldly said:

"Your Majesty, Prince Rhaegar is your eldest son. According to the primogeniture system of Westeros, he should be the heir to the Iron Throne."

Viserys immediately changed his expression and said gloomily: "But the current heir is Rhaenyra. She was chosen by me personally. She is older than Rhaegar."

The words have made it clear that Leonor has no reason to retreat.

From a rational point of view: "Prince Rhaegar is a male, and a male heir who complies with legal principles can gain the allegiance of the lords more."

"Rhaenyra has been the heir for many years. She even traveled across the continent not long ago. The lords all recognize her."

Viserys was indignant.

In this regard, he is really similar to Rhaenyra.

Be willing to listen to other people's opinions, but take them as opinions only.

It all depends on personal preference.

Leonor said: "That's because they have no better choice. If Prince Rhaegar stands on the table, they will definitely be more willing to support a male heir."

After spending many years together, Leonor knew Viserys better than he knew himself.

He knew what to say and do to convince the king.

Unfortunately, when faced with the issue of heir, Viserys was firm and would never give in.

He shook his head and said dissatisfiedly: "No! Rhaenyra has not made any mistakes, and no one can deprive her of her qualifications as heir."

"What should Prince Rhaegar do?"

Leonor did not worry about whether Rhaenyra made a mistake or not, and said calmly: "Prince Rhaegar was born as the heir."

"He used to suffer from frailty, but now he is in good health. Are you going to give up on such an excellent eldest son?"

"of course not!"

Viserys denied it and stated his plan: "Rhaegar is a good boy. He loves his father and his sister."

"I will hire the best teacher to teach him so that he can grow into an upright man."

"In the future when Rhaenyra takes the throne, he can serve as Hand of the King, Regent, and even the guardian of the entire realm."

Leonor was stunned and said in disbelief: "My lord, do you really think so?"

That's just a euphemism.

Leonor's heart was full of twists and turns at this time.

As the eldest son of Rhaegar in the king's words, shouldn't he be the heir?

What's more, such an outstanding prince would really succumb to others and silently contribute to others?

Brothers from small aristocratic families would also fight to the death for the family property.

Not to mention the allure of a whole king.

Neither can biological siblings!

Viserys ignored it and insisted: "I believe in Rhaegar. He will help his sister manage the government affairs well and protect the kingdom from infringement."

Leonor opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He picked up the jug from the table, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it again.

"Okay, I trust your decision."
