Chapter 343 The Ambition of War
"Hiss..."
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Syrax twisted his body and screamed, stretched out the dragon's head and rubbed the driver who was curled up in his arms.
"Syrax, be careful of the baby in my belly."
Rhaenyra smiled sweetly, wrapping her arms around the huge dragon head and rubbing it.
Rhaegar moved back to avoid squeezing Rhaenyra.
"Hiss..."
Sylax's movements were much gentler, his amber vertical pupils full of doubts.
It seems to be asking, are you going to lay dragon eggs too?
Rhaenyra vaguely sensed its thoughts, smiled and lowered her head, pressing her forehead against the dragon-kissed roof of Syrax's mouth.
"It suits you very well." Rhaegar said with a smile.
Looking at the current Targaryen and Velaryan families, Rhaenyra can be said to be the one who has been riding dragons for the longest time.
Even Daemon is still one year behind his niece in riding the dragon.
"Syrax grew up with me, and is much more loyal than you." Rhaenyra rolled her eyes at him angrily.
Rustling, rustling...
The sound of footsteps trampling on gravel came from the palace.
Gray Worm stopped outside the palace and said seriously: "Prince, Lady Janey asks to see you."
Lei Jia's expression froze, and he secretly said that it was just the right time!
After thinking for a moment, Rhaegar asked: "Is there anything important about Jane?"
"She just wants you to come over." Gray Worm said sternly.
"Excellent."
Rhaegar's eyes twitched slightly, he rubbed the crook of Rhaenyra's neck and whispered, "I'll go take a look. I'll be right back."
Rhaenyra raised her head, stretched out her hand to grab his face, and sneered: "The fox was cornered by the hunter, and he tried to talk eloquently in order to survive."
When she found out she was pregnant, her mood was extremely unstable.
Wave~
Rega gave it a peck and said helplessly: "Just take a look, I won't stay unless there is nothing wrong."
Due to emotions and reasons, we should meet once.
Rhaenyra turned her head away in disgust: "Get out of here, I'm going to the godswood to relax."
She had no time to be jealous, ensuring the smooth delivery of the fetus in her belly was her top priority.
β¦
Rhaegar didn't go too far, and the meeting place was at a viewing pavilion in the gravel garden.
Jenny was wearing a waist-cinched honey-colored dress, with long chestnut hair hanging straight down her slender waist. She stood by the pavilion and looked quietly.
Until Rhaegar arrived, Janey was in a daze for a moment, pursed her lips and smiled: "Rhaenyra is pregnant, congratulations."
"It is indeed a happy event for all to see."
Rega responded calmly, took her hand and sat on the chair, saying bluntly: "If you have something on your mind, let's talk about it."
The moment he saw Jenny, he understood the general outline of this meeting.
I never control the moment when I have sex, this day will come sooner or later.
Jenny smiled and lowered her head: "I sincerely congratulate you."
Out of guilt for Rhaenyra, she hid in the Vale for three years, not daring to show her face.
Until now, she was not sure whether her original decision was the right one.
Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the danger of the Battle of the Stepstone Islands to drive a wedge between Rhaegar and Rhaenyra, and capture Rhaegar's body and mind.
She did experience what it was like to be a woman, and it left a mark on Rhaegar's heart.
But she hesitated several times and couldn't use the means of alienation, and there was no gap for her to use the means of alienation.
"Jenny, tell me carefully, you are not a woman who dare not speak." Rhaegar encouraged.
Jenny is a woman who coexists both internally and externally, far better than most men in the world.
The Vale prospered under her rule, and her political acumen and tenacity fully demonstrated the eagle-like talents of the Arryns.
Jenny's eyes were hazy, she glanced at him without trace, and whispered: "Have you ever thought about having a child with me?"
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Jenny realized the resentment in her tone and hurriedly explained: "Even if it is an illegitimate child!"
"certainly!"
Rega nodded without thinking, and emphasized: "But he is not an illegitimate child. I have seen the situation of most illegitimate children, and I never want my child to be looked down upon."
Jenny looked up blankly: "You can only marry one wife."
"No!"
Rhaegar's eyes flickered and he said firmly: "The Conqueror married Visenya and Rhaenys at the same time, and no one dared to object."
"You want to start a war!?" Jenny's expression changed drastically, and her keen political sense emerged at this moment.
The Faith of the Seven Gods and Targaryen have made an agreement long ago. If they want to tear up this agreement, they must bear the war or be the first to lead the war.
Rega looked at the rockery and flowing water outside the pavilion and shook his head: "It's not that I want to start a war, the war will find itself."
Of course he would not start a war for the sake of the love between his children. That is what a fool would do.
The family's strength is growing day by day, and more than a dozen dragon masters are living in restraint.
During the period of King Maegor I, there were very few Targaryen male heirs, and the battle of "Under the God's Eye" had not yet occurred.
Putting himself in his shoes, if Rhaegar were Daemon and Aegon, they would not be willing to lock the dragon in the dragon's lair and live in ignorance.
War is a good place to vent anger and satisfy desires.
Invading a piece of land and enfeoffing a piece of land, a group of dragon masters in the province are like frogs in a well, with only an iron chair in their eyes.
Jenny's eyes were wandering and she spoke quickly: "Where is the sword pointing?"
"Dorne!!" Rhaegar said bluntly.
Jenny said worriedly: "Dorne is located in a desert, the people are unyielding, and even the conquerors have not been able to conquer it."
"The Conqueror only has a few dragons, so how many lords are truly loyal to him?"
Rhaegar was very rational and detailed the power in his hands: "Balerion during the time of the Conqueror was only over a hundred years old, and he was not necessarily much larger than Glutton. Meraxes and Vhagar were only over 60 years old at the time. , Bloodworm and Red Queen are completely comparable."
"Once the war starts, Yangyan, Haiyan, and Gray Shadow can all go to the battlefield."
Not to mention that the current nobles of the Seven Kingdoms all recognize Targaryen's rule, not the undercurrent of the Conqueror period.
"Rhaegar, war is not a trivial matter, and the king will not agree to it." Jenny's heart was beating wildly, and she tried to persuade her image.
"I know."
Lei Jia's eyes were deep and he smiled: "Someone will take the initiative to speak for me. I just need to follow the flow."
He wants to start a war, but his good uncle Daemon wants to invade even more than he does.
The difference is that he does not want to cross the narrow sea and invade the land of Essos.
The Three Women's Kingdom is the third of the nine free trade city-states. Once the invasion war starts, it is equivalent to declaring war on all free trade city-states.
Two hundred years later, the fear of being enslaved by Old Valyria has not completely dissipated.
Fortunately, the war went smoothly. They quickly captured the Three Women's Kingdom and organized a response strategy.
If there is a slight setback, Martell of Dorne will definitely step in. Not to mention sending troops to support the Three Women Kingdom, sending a fleet in the Narrow Sea to intercept the transport ship will be enough to give the front line a breather.
Jenny didn't understand the situation, but that didn't stop her from thinking wildly.
The Dornish War breaks out, leaving the Crown with little reason to fail.
By successfully capturing Dorne, the Targaryen dynasty will completely unify the Seven Kingdoms, and their reputation will be as high as that of the Conqueror.
Regado married a wife, and no one dared to object due to his military exploits.
Of course, Rhaegar's idea was not that simple and crude.
What he was considering was making a deal with the Faith of the Seven Gods. After capturing Dorne, he would support the spread of the Faith of the Seven Gods in exchange for marrying one more wife.
If you don't agree...
He would have to consider agreeing to the red robe witch's terms of cooperation, introducing the faith of R'hllor to attack the faith of the Seven Gods, and avoiding the monopoly of one single company.
The so-called divine right of kings does not work here!
quite a while.
Jenny is gone.
He left in a hurry with excitement and beautiful vision, as if he wanted to digest the content of this negotiation.
This was the first time Rhaegar had made a promise to her, and she was shocked and confused.
The patter...
A stream meandered outside the pavilion. Rega sat quietly and listened. His face no longer looked confident, but instead looked calm and calm.
He was recalling what he had just said, the kind of words that had a hint of coaxing.
Advocating for war has a certain connection with Jane, but it is not as strong as the other party thought.
Putting aside his feelings, he only had eyes for Rhaenyra and her family.
Jeyne was the Duchess of the Vale, and her support was vital to Rhaegar.
Their children would inherit the Vale, just as Aemond and Kassandra's children would inherit the Stormlands.
Tell the truth.
If Aegon was his biological brother, he would find a way to marry Aegon and Margaery and take the opportunity to steal the rights of the Reach.
The three brothers each control the power of a realm and merge the power of the royal territory and the riverlands, which is completely capable of overturning the existing situation in Westeros.
After pondering for a long time, Rega sighed slightly: "A woman's ability to give birth is also a skill."
He despised Allison's small belly, but he had to admire his fertility.
If a family wants to grow, it needs this kind of good woman.
Salsaβ¦
Not far from the pavilion, there is a tuft of grass clinging to the foot of the rockery, and two little heads are squeezed together.
One has silver-gold curly hair, and the other has long black hair.
Helena was lying on the ground, staring at the man in the pavilion with her big watery eyes, slightly absent-minded: "The Conqueror and his sisters..."
Ma Lishan covered her mouth with her hands, her face panicked, and she muttered: "Invade Dorne!..."
The two of them flew back on Dreamfire after Jenny left the table.
Ma Lishan had heard that Lady Jane had an affair with the Crown Prince, and wanted to see the excitement.
Helena also wanted to see it, and the two followed and hid in unison.
Unexpectedly, I heard so much shocking news.
"Helena, let's go quickly."
Ma Lishan was so scared that she pushed her little sisters.
Helena was in a daze, recalling the conversation between Rhaegar and Jeyne over and over in her mind.
Suddenly, the people in the pavilion seemed to notice someone peeping and stared at them with sharp eyes.
"Eh~"
Ma Lishan shivered in fright, pulled Helena and wanted to run away, for fear of being silenced.
However, a figure loomed above his head and said calmly: "You two, eavesdropping is not a good habit."
Gray Worm had no expression on his face, looking down at the two little girls.
The scene changes.
Two little girls appeared in the pavilion, their heads drooped and not daring to look directly at the people in front of them.
Lei Jia's eyes were full of helplessness, and he was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say.
Especially Helena, who looked confused, as if she was not the one eavesdropping.
"Prince, we won't talk nonsense."
Ma Lishan secretly poked Helena and apologized tremblingly.
Rega rubbed his brows and said, "It's not a secret, but your behavior goes against your education and identity."
Damon was more eager for war than he was.
Maybe he would have a big fight with his father before the tournament was over.
Thanks to him not having the habit of talking to himself, his inner thoughts are always hidden in his heart.
