Chapter 344 Aegon: I am loyal!
Ma Lishan quickly apologized: "We didn't restrain our curiosity. I'm really sorry."
Rhaegar looked at her, then at Helena who was immersed in herself, and couldn't help but feel sad for Allison.
After thinking for a while, Rega said seriously: "Can we keep it a secret for the time being?"
"Of course." Maris agreed.
Helena:…
Rhaegar took a look at Ma Lishan, who seemed to be shrewd, and said softly: "Aemond is engaged to your sister, but I think the two of them don't seem to be getting along?"
Ma Lishan clasped her fingers and said carefully: "Prince Aemond is a proud dragon knight, and my sister is just an ordinary girl."
"They just got engaged, and there are still some adults and illegitimate children peeping outside."
Rhaegar deliberately emphasized the word "bastard".
"Those adults are just greedy vultures who want to eat the flesh and blood of the Baratheon family."
Ma Lishan looked angry and muttered seemingly normally: "Prince Aemond said that he didn't care about the threats from adults and illegitimate children. He was right."
Rhaegar heard an overtone, but did not know the intention. He continued: "Kassandra inherited Storm's End. Maybe you should ease the relationship between her and Aemond."
He wanted to see what the wisest of the Four Storms thought about it.
You know, Cassandra inherited the title of eldest daughter before inheriting Storm's End, and Malissan was only one step away from becoming a duchess.
"Prince, don't you think..."
Ma Lishan's dark eyes rolled around, she lowered her head timidly, and after mumbling for a long time she said, "Would it be better if Prince Aemond and my sister don't get along?"
Rhaegar remained calm on the surface, but secretly he was smiling.
The little girl has extraordinary insights.
Aemond and Cassandra's marriage is not harmonious. The royal family will not harm the interests, but Rhaegar will be the beneficiary.
It would be best if the two of them evolved into the situation of Damon and the late Lady Rhea.
As long as a child was born, Rhaegar would naturally adopt it and personally train a Duke of Storm's End.
However, such words should not be uttered under any circumstances.
After pondering for a while, Rega said seriously: "Miss Ma Lishan, I hope that the marriage between your family and our family will go smoothly. I believe that you will also be a loyal supporter of the royal family."
"Yes, Prince." Ma Lishan nodded with evasive eyes.
I wonder if the crown prince wants her to be an informant or a substitute for marriage?
Rhaegar refused to explain and motioned to Gray Worm to take her down.
No matter how the other party understood it, as long as the seeds of having a second heart with Cassandra were planted in his heart, she would be a thorn in Storm's End.
When the outsiders were gone, Rhaegar grabbed the confused Helena, pinched her pink face and pulled.
Even if he eavesdrops on his own, he still dares to bring outsiders to listen.
It really fattened up the little girl's courage.
"Woo~~"
The pain made Helena wake up, her light purple eyes showed ripples of prayer, and she struggled hesitantly.
After playing with it for a while, Rega calmed down and let go.
Helena covered her numb face and shrank back timidly.
very painful!
Rega leaned against the pillar of the pavilion and asked directly: "Have you ever gone out on Dreamfire to do any bad things recently?"
Helena's expression froze, she glanced at her brother, and said cautiously: "No..."
The silly look of lack of confidence and the uncertain tone almost have the words "guilty as a thief" written on his face.
Lei Jia frowned and raised his voice: "Is it true?"
"Yes!" Helena's face turned pale and she spoke with a trembling voice.
Seeing this, Rhaegar's eyes softened, he stroked Helena's head, and whispered softly: "Don't be afraid, tell me honestly, no one will blame you."
"Yes." Helena nodded repeatedly and confessed honestly.
In the Laris incident, Helena was indeed an important part. She used the dream fire to burn the night watchman and the prisoner to death.
Menghuo was an adult dragon, worthy of the traces left by the dragon flames at the scene of the victim's death.
The person who caused Helena to act was naturally her mother, Allison.
According to Helena, Allison came to her for a heart-to-heart talk at night. Laris knew too many secrets and could not be left alive.
Helena couldn't bear her mother's plea and agreed.
Allison specifically told him to take action as soon as the prison car arrived at Jingze, otherwise someone would rescue Larris first.
Rhaegar listened quietly, thoughts racing in his mind.
According to Larisse's confession, Otto and Allison planned the rescue, and Mond Hightower took action.
Based on what Helena said, it is estimated that Allison changed his mind midway and planned to kill people completely.
This fits Allison’s anxious, suspicious character.
Aemond is already engaged to Cassandra, and Laris is safer dead than alive.
anyway.
Helena and Dreamfire confirmed that what Laris said was true.
So it's probably Aemond and the sheep thief who finally rescued Larris.
This kid handed Laris over to Mond Hightower.
But Helena had already taken action immediately, and Emond appeared after her, proving that someone had protected Larisse in advance.
Rhaegar's head was full of black lines, and he secretly cursed: "Is there a third dragon who can take a step ahead of Helena?"
If this is the case, the Allison family is really capable of using all three dragon masters they have.
"Brother, that's all I know."
Helena pursed her lips and said timidly.
She really didn't lie, she really confessed.
Rega had a sullen face, pinched his face hard, and lectured: "Think more clearly next time, if you rashly burn that car of prisoners, the blame will be put on my head."
He finally saw it.
No matter Alisson, Otto or Mond, no one cares about the impact of the interception. He is the one taking the blame anyway.
"I'm sorry, brother."
Helena's face turned red from being pinched, and she apologized with tears in her eyes.
She had no choice. Her mother insisted on silencing her. Afterwards, she couldn't sleep for several nights without holding Meng Huo in her arms.
Rhaegar couldn't bear to punish her, so he raised his hand to hold her in his arms, but he was afraid that the little girl was too big, so he just stroked her long hair and held it in his arms, saying gently:
"You shouldn't meddle in adults' affairs unless you are an adult and can distinguish between good and bad things."
Helena took the initiative to throw herself into her arms and muttered: "My mother needs me. For the first time, she hugged me to sleep with that expectant look in her eyes."
Rhaegar was stunned for a moment.
He is not a mother, does not have a mother, and does not understand this kind of thing.
If we really want to talk about the similarity, Rhaenyra plays the role of mother.
"Quack quack..."
Suddenly, an unpleasant crow call came.
Rhaegar woke up from his dream and saw a familiar raven sitting on a willow tree near the rockery.
Patting Helena on the back, Rhaegar tried to be as gentle as possible: "Be careful next time."
Helena shook her little head and whispered: "There will be no next time."
"Stop crying and go play."
Rhaegar fully assumed the role of his brother and urged the little girl to leave first.
Helena raised her head with tears in her eyes and said vaguely: "I can ride on the Dream Fire to help you."
"What?" Rhaegar didn't understand the meaning.
Helena pursed her lips, held the face of the person in front of her with both hands, and kissed the side of the face.
"I will definitely help you!"
With a panicked tone at the end, the little girl's cheeks turned red and she turned her head and ran away.
Rhaegar's head buzzed, and he sat in a daze for a while.
What did Helena just mean?
Rhaegar opened his mouth slightly, trying to accept the scene just now.
After a while.
Rhaegar pulled his long hair with both hands and screamed: "Rhaenyra and Allison will join forces to kill me!"
He didn't have that idea.
Although Rhaenyra was pregnant, it did not mean that he had feelings for Helena.
Targaryens also care about family ties.
"Quack quack..."
The raven flapped its wings and flew into the pavilion, tilted its head to look at him, and raised a paw with a mailbox attached to it.
Rega took a breath, suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, and took out the letter from the mailbox.
The raven is Tormund's form, so the letter naturally comes from him.
Rhaegar opened the letter and looked at it.
For a long time, Lei Jia's frown relaxed slightly, and a sense of annoyance aroused in his heart.
By cleaning up the intelligence network left by Laris, Tormund learned that Allison's personal maid was an informant.
Using some subtle means, the maid handed over the information about Larisse.
It’s pretty much what Rhaegar guessed.
Allison and Otto initially conspired to rescue Larisse.
Otto has served as Minister of Civil Affairs for several years, and his intelligence work has been suppressed by Leonor and Shiliu, who hope to rescue Laris and take over the intelligence network in their hands.
He proposed to find someone to replace Laris during the night, and send a dragon to burn out the escort team early the next morning.
The plan was implemented by Mond Hightower, with Aegon and Sunfire as the main forces.
Naturally, Lei Jia will take the blame.
Immediately afterwards, Allison worried that more things would come out of Larisse's mouth.
Before Mond Hightower could steal the throne, he asked his daughter Helena to ride the dragon and set out first.
In the meantime, something unexpected happened.
The second son and youngest son of the Tully family clung to Mond Hightower through the Church of the Seven Gods, hoping to give up their interests and form an alliance.
Mond was greedy and told his brother Otto about this.
Otto did not want to cause trouble and touch the scope of rights under Rhaegar's jurisdiction.
Mond was reluctant to give up and secretly negotiated with Aegon, asking him to bring the people to him instead of his brother Otto.
But Aegon most likely refused.
Mond changed direction and contacted Aemond who was far away at Storm's End.
Aemond was so troubled by his marriage and two illegitimate children that he couldn't sleep.
Mond took advantage of the opportunity and proposed to help Aemond deal with the two illegitimate children privately after the matter was completed, and bribed this boy.
Ever since.
The time of Aegon's departure forms a time node.
Before Aegon set off, Mondt swapped Lalys overnight and hid under the cover of night without being discovered.
Helena was afraid of falling behind Aegon, so she burned herself out before dawn, which would have been a waste of time.
Emond set off slowly as planned. When he arrived at the scene, he saw scorched corpses on the ground and successfully found the hiding Laris.
The plot was successfully completed.
As for Aegon...
He didn't listen to anyone and rode Yang Yan back to Jun's Landing to pick up a prostitute.
Rhaegar held his forehead with one hand and couldn't even look at it.
He never expected that among his younger brothers and sisters, the one who was most loyal to him would be Aegon!
Furious about the Hightowers' conspiracy, Rhaegar felt a little guilty for doubting Aegon.
Aegon was a good boy who just wanted to have fun.
He is worthy of being the good younger brother of his good brother Rhaegar who was raised by punches and kicks.
After laughing, Rhaegar's eyes gradually became sharper. He held the letter and gritted his teeth: "Mond Hightower, Church of the Seven Gods..."
The existence of the Old Town series is so disgusting.
There is also an Otto.
Rhaegar sneered in his heart: "It would be too easy to cripple Galwen."
Fortunately, the truth was revealed and all the rats in the gutter crawled out.
Mond Hightower knows too much and must find ways to root it out.
The Church of the Seven Gods dictates everything, and has exerted a subtle influence on the court in recent years.
Even the ruby on the clan sword Black Fire was replaced by a seven-pointed star by his father.
Rhaegar murmured softly: "R'hllor Faith!"
