Chapter 349 Valyrian Steel Sword Kingdom of Light

Chapter 349 Valyrian Steel Sword—Light of the Kingdom

"Hmm~"

Rhaenyra looked at him silently, saying nothing.

Rhaegar's smile did not diminish, he tried his best to raise the lance, and said gently: "Rhaenyra, it belongs to you."

The noble ladies gathered their eyes, looking at each other with envy and jealousy.

Helena pulled Ma Lisan and trotted over, staring straight at the purple wreath.

Janey, Margaery, Allison and other women were all watching this scene.

Being given a crown of love and beauty is an honor that a woman can show off for a lifetime.

Rhaenyra shook her head slightly, looking away from Rhaegar and falling on her flat belly.

Rhaegar was slightly startled, and his movement of holding the lance was slightly stiff.

"Xu~~"

The white horse neighed as it carried the young man on its back and walked under the high platform.

Rhaegar's eyes flickered, he held the reins and let the horse go away.

The white horse moved briskly, tapping its hooves around a circle of competition arena, and once again accepted the congratulations of the nobles.

Rhaegar thought for a moment and understood what the problem was.

Not long after, the boy riding a white horse stopped under the high platform again.

"Prince, quickly hand over the crown of love and beauty!"

A bold girl shouted loudly, squeezing on the edge of the fence and waving vigorously.

With this beginning, the noble ladies flocked to the scene, staring at Rhaegar as if they were looking at a piece of fat.

"Brother, here!!"

Helena smiled brightly and stood on tiptoes to say hello.

Not just her, Jenny and Zhan Sifu raised their hands together and stared with burning eyes.

Since Rhaenyra would not accept the crown of love and beauty, they deserved a share of the pie.

Rhaegar smiled and said nothing, stopped under Rhaenyra with ease, raised his lance and said: "Rhaena, I have prepared a gift for you."

As he spoke, he reached into his red cloak with his left hand and pulled out a sheathed thin sword like a trick.

The scabbard is made of black cowhide, the hilt is as bright as the moon, and the center of the sword is engraved with a gorgeous pattern of dawn.

Seeing that it was a lady's one-handed sword, Rhaenyra's eyes were filled with confusion, but she made no move.

Crack!

Shaking his left hand lightly, the thin sword was unsheathed, revealing a two-finger-wide sword blade with moon-white color dotted with water ripples.

Rhaegar held the scabbard and raised it high, with a serious look in his eyes: "Rhaenyra, I forged it for you, a Valyrian steel sword like the Dark Sisters."

Rhaenyra had admired the warrior queen Visenya since she was a child, so her hair style was imitated by Visenya's thin braids and pulled back.

The Dark Sisters were given to Aunt Rhaenys by him and were stipulated to be inherited by the Dragon Prince.

For this lady's one-handed sword made of Valyrian steel, he forged the long-collected Valyrian steel sword "Truth" just to gather the materials for the second sword.

An extremely precious Valyrian steel sword was placed in front of her. Rhaenyra was slightly distracted and finally said: "Does it have a name?"

"Valyrian Steel Sword - The Light of the Realm!"

Lei Ga stared at it affectionately and said: "It belongs to you alone. As the third official clan sword, it carries your title and is passed down from generation to generation."

A brand new Valyrian steel sword came out, immediately attracting countless glances.

Looking at the arena where tens of thousands of people gathered, there were only a handful of Valyrian steel swords.

The Targaryen family has two clan swords, the Blackfire and the Dark Sister.

Well-informed nobles all know that the Crown Prince once captured a Valyrian steel sword during the War of the Three Kingdoms and reforged it into the "Dragon Claw".

On the fighting field, the crown prince's unique "dragon claw" was missing, replaced by a brand-new Valyrian steel sword that was completely black and had no name.

Now he took out a Valyrian steel rapier - the light of the kingdom.

It's hard not to wonder how many Valyrian steel swords the royal family has hidden, or how many Valyrian steel swords have been plundered.

Rhaenyra noticed this and leaned down to take the Light of the Kingdom and hold it tightly in her arms.

This sword was named after her, and she was so in love with it under her calm expression.

"Rhaenaela."

Seeing her take the rapier, Rhaegar smiled, expecting her to take the crown again.

Rhaenyra glanced at him, hesitantly dropped something, and said nonchalantly: "My return gift."

He held the rapier in both hands, but did not touch the laurel wreath within reach.

Rega had a confused look on his face, catching the light objects with quick eyes and quick hands.

Looking down, he saw a strand of silver-gold slightly curly hair tied with a red rope lying across his palm.

Rega frowned slightly and subconsciously looked at Helena who was chattering on the high platform.

Helena was also looking at him, with a smile on her pretty and fair face.

Beside her, Aegon, Tormund, and Daeron gathered together.

Rhaegar was full of doubts and glanced back.

Silver-blonde hair and purple eyes are the characteristics of the Valyrian people, and most Targaryens have this hair color.

In addition, there are white gold, honey colors...

In addition to violet pupils, there are also blue and light purple...

Within the Targaryen family, members also have subtle differences in appearance.

For example, pure bloodlines that follow family traditions not only have silver-blonde hair, but also usually have long straight hair.

Great-grandfather Jaehaerys and grandfather Baerron both had long, straight, silver-gold hair, as did his father Viserys and uncle Daemon.

Most of the Aylin family in the valley have long straight hair, and mother Emma Ayling also has pure silver-gold long straight hair.

Therefore, Rhaegar and Rhaenyra both have long, straight, silver-gold hair, and their appearance is pure and flawless.

On the contrary, the children born to Viserys and Allison have slightly different appearance features.

Aegon, Helena, and Aemond all have silver-gold curly hair, and the pupils of the latter two are not violet, but light purple and dark purple.

Only little Darren has pure silver-gold long straight hair and violet eyes.

This is one of the many reasons why both Viserys and Rhaegar prefer young Daeron.

"Xu~~"

While he was bowing his head in thought, the white horse moved its hooves and left the platform.

Rhaegar looked uncertain, vaguely guessing the owner of this lock of hair.

It wasn't Rhaenyra's own, nor Helena's. Neither Velaryon nor Celtigar present expressed their opinions.

Looking at the entire Riverlands, there was only the pair of illegitimate daughters that he had placed.

Needless to say, something must have gone wrong and it fell into Rhaenyra's hands.

No wonder I asked Tormund to investigate for two days, but this guy kept silent.

It seemed that Rhaenyra had warned her not to interfere in the siblings' private affairs.

Rega lowered his head and laughed, his excitement instantly falling to the ground.

With Sara's methods, it was impossible for Rhaenyra not to know that he and his illegitimate daughter had long since severed ties.

This kind of matter can be handled privately, but it would be a bit unkind to embarrass him in a martial arts competition.

"Hiss-"

A dull growl suddenly appeared, and the glutton flapped its dark wings to stay in the air, exuding a low pressure of intimidation.

The dragon is the most intuitive conveyor of Targaryen's emotions, and its driver is in a very subtle mood at the moment.

"drive!"

Rhaegar gave a low shout and rode a white horse in a circle around the arena.

The precious lance was carried casually on his shoulder, and his clenched left hand ignited a flame, burning away trivial things.

The siblings have been together for 16 years and have only had a few quarrels.

The last time he was so angry was when Rhaenyra was lured into a brothel by Daemon, and he ordered the Ilic brothers to set fire to rescue her.

His emotions are complicated.

Disappointed by Rhaenyra's fussiness, annoyed by her own illegitimate daughter.

The most glorious moment was humiliated.

After running around the competition arena, the cheers from the audience obviously dropped sharply.

Nobles are not fools. The crown prince offered the crown of love and beauty twice but was rejected. There must be something hidden in it.

Throughout all previous tournaments, there have been knights who have been refused laurel crowns, but there is no precedent for knights with such a high status to be refused twice in a row.

High in the sky, Viserys's face was heavy, and he could not see the joy of the previous moment.

He never imagined that the eldest son and his eldest daughter would be at odds with each other to such an extent.

Glancing vaguely at a tall and lanky bachelor wearing a bachelor's robe in the corner, Viserys drank depressedly.

The bachelor's name was Mu Kun, a bachelor of court records sent by the city.

Every detail of this martial arts tournament will be recorded in detail by him.

On the competition ground, the white horse dragged Rhaegar back to the bottom of the high platform for the third time.

"Drive~"

Rhaegar suppressed his smile and no longer stayed below Rhaenyra. He held the reins and let the white horse move as he pleased.

The white horse stopped there, and he admired the scenery there.

Not to mention, the girls on the high platform are all beautiful and every one of them is very enthusiastic.

Soon, Bai Ma walked under Jenny, who was wearing a maroon waist dress, and stopped as if sensing something.

Jenny put her hands on the fence and looked at him worriedly.

Rhaegar raised his head and looked back, raised his lance to reveal the purple laurel crown, and smiled: "Do you want to be my queen?"

"certainly!"

Jenny answered simply, with a look of helplessness in her eyes.

Leaning over and glancing at Rhaenyra on the other side, Jeyne blinked at Rhaegar, but did not reach out to take off the laurel crown.

She loved Rhaegar very much and wanted this crown of love and beauty.

If Rhaegar had given the crown the first two times, she would have had to take it off even if she risked a head-on confrontation with Rhaenyra.

But her reason told her that this was a critical moment in the quarrel between Rhaegar and Rhaenyla, and her taking off the crown would probably not please both parties.

"Haha." Rega pursed his lips and smiled, and continued to lead the horse around.

Looking up, the girls on the edge of the fence have glaring eyes.

The white horse stopped at will, and directly above its head was the Rose of Highgarden, Margaery.

Margaery is wearing a red dress, with light red curly hair and a delicate face. She looks like a delicate rose.

The raised lance fell in front of her eyes, causing the eyes of the roses to shine, and they wanted to take off the laurel crown immediately.

Margaery took a deep breath, the white semicircle exposed by her low-cut skirt bulged high, and her brown eyes flickered.

She persuaded her father to come to the tournament on behalf of the High Court, just to establish a relationship with the crown prince.

The private close relationship between Rhaegar and Jane was unknown to ordinary nobles, but it was no secret in the eyes of some well-informed nobles.

In the first ten years of her rule, Jeyne relied on the regent Jobert Royce to rule the Eagle's Nest City. In the following years, she formed an alliance with Rhaenyra, who was still the heir to the Iron Throne, and supported them together as a woman.

However, the ruling power is still insufficient, and many nobles in the valley are privately opposed to Jenny inheriting the Eagle's Nest as a woman.

Rhaegar first wiped out the mountain clans who were in chaos, and then allowed Jeyne to eradicate dissidents and suppress the disobedient Arryn branches and valley nobles.

In this way, Jenny was able to secure her position as the Duchess of the Eagle's Nest City.

Although the shady relationship between the two goes against the world and is despised.

The actual benefits cannot be ignored.

Old Tyrell of Highgarden lost his male heir, and the unmarried Margaery became an only daughter.

There were cases of Janey inheriting the Eagle's Nest and Cassandra inheriting Storm's End.

It can be said that Margaery coveted the idea of ​​inheriting Highgarden, so she naturally wanted to follow Jeyne's example and hook up with Rhaegar.

She didn't want to find a Targaryen prince to marry, like Cassandra.

Because that's almost impossible to achieve.

The queen's three sons were half-brothers to Crown Prince Rhaegar. It was already the limit for one of them to marry a duchess, and there would never be a second one.

"Huhu~~"

Margery calmed down her nervousness, held her cheeks in her hands, and said infatuatedly: "Prince, thank you for your interest, but I think it belongs to someone."

Any smart person can see that this crown is a hot potato.

Rhaegar shook his head and continued to lead the horse forward.

The white horse slowly lifted its hooves and passed Helena at the edge of the fence.

"elder brother……"

Helena's eyes were full of excitement, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she was covered by Ma Lishan beside her.

Ma Lishan hugged her friend's outstretched hands and reminded her, "Stop making trouble, there's no good in taking it."

"Woooooo~~"

Helena struggled hard and whimpered dissatisfied.

She was no fool, of course she saw something was wrong.

But Rhaenyra didn't want it. What would happen if she took off the flower crown? It wasn't taken by force.

Rhaegar glanced sideways, turned his horse's head and walked back without looking back.

It can be given to other noble ladies, but not to Helena.

This little girl has impure thoughts towards him and cannot respond to him.

Going round and round, the white horse returned to beneath Rhaenyra.

Rhaenyra's expression was calm, holding the rapier in her arms, and she didn't seem to be anxious at all.

Targaryen's blood is full of magic, which attracts those close to each other.

No matter how far away Rhaegar was, he would eventually come back to her.

Rhaegar looked up, his eyes as calm as water.

For a moment, the two siblings looked at each other and could see through each other's thoughts.

Rhaegar took out the ancient gold coin from his arms, hid it under his cloak with his hands behind his back, and his palms lit up with a faint fire.

Using the plasticity of [Dragon Stone], the ancient gold coins were melted and recast.

After a while, a dark gold dragon-shaped ring appeared, barely put on the top of the lance, and presented together with a purple flower crown.

Lei Jia's eyes were clear and he sighed: "Sister, I remember everything."

From the moment of consciousness, Rhaenyra was the best person to him.

When he was in a coma before he was three years old, Rhaenyra would sing him a lullaby.

Becoming the crown prince at the age of six, Rhaenyra ignored her past grudges and took care of him as he grew up.

The siblings have been close to each other for three years, and now Renee La has a baby in her belly.

Rhaegar really couldn't think of a reason to break up.

Rhaenyra's eyes were covered with mist, she leaned over and took off the ring and flower crown, biting her lower lip: "As long as you remember."

She was just angry that Rhaegar always had to be with other women behind her back.

If Rega were the man next to her, she would have gritted her teeth and endured it.

But they are connected by blood and belong to each other by birth.

Regardless of whether there is still contact or not, it is regarded as a betrayal in her eyes.

Raiga has to admit his mistake for this!

After sniffing, Rhaenyra put the laurel wreath on her head and the dragon-shaped ring on her left index finger, replacing the several gemstone rings on both hands.

She loves gorgeous jewelry, whether it's expensive lace or jewelry.

When she feels nervous, she turns the ring to relieve her inner stress.

"Hiss-"

The glutton roared low, flapped its wings and slowly lowered its altitude, setting off a gust of wind and landing outside the competition venue.

Rhaegar dismounted and walked quickly onto the high platform.

In full view of everyone, he picked up Rhaenyra by the waist and said forcefully: "Let's go back to Dragonstone!"

He was going to organize the ceremony, and other things were out of his sight.
