Chapter 46 Ultimatum

"Rhaenyra, someone accused you of sneaking out of the Red Keep last night and going somewhere you shouldn't have gone with your uncle Daemon."

"Do you have any explanation for this?"

Viserys felt something was fishy and asked tentatively.

Rhaenyra tapped her chin with her finger and apologized: "I did sneak out of the Red Keep with Daemon last night and went to Silk Street to watch a theater performance."

Viserys demanded, "That's all?"

"That's all!" Rhaenyra was confident.

"Very good. I've finished my questions. I think the Prime Minister still has something to ask you."

After receiving such a positive answer from his daughter, Viserys was in a good mood, and the topic turned to Leonor.

Rhaenyra looked sideways at the Prime Minister and asked, "My lord, what do you have to say?"

Things became complicated and confusing. Leonor organized some words and said slowly:

"Princess, someone saw you and Prince Damon entering a brothel last night..."

"Of course, these are unsubstantiated remarks, but I also hope you can explain it yourself."

Rhaenyra denied it flatly: "Since you know that it is unsubstantiated, it does not mean that this matter is false."

"Anyone trying to smear my innocence is treasonous."

Upon hearing this, Leonor nodded to show his understanding, and said solemnly: "I will definitely find out the person who spread the rumors and seek justice for the princess."

Now that the matter is over, the truth no longer matters.

The most intelligence could prove that Rhaenyra and Daemon sneaked out of the Red Keep, but other evidence had long been lost in the fire.

As long as Rhaenyra insisted that she had never been to a brothel, no one could question her chastity.

Leonor nodded towards Viserys and said solemnly: "I will go and shut down the rumors."

After that, leave the room.

The father and daughter looked at each other, and Viserys couldn't hold his breath and spoke first.

"Rhaenayla, there was a fire on Silk Street last night, did you know?"

"Thanks to the fire, I escaped prying eyes."

"you know?"

"Rhaegar told me that someone reported to him, and he sent people to set a fire and secretly took me back to the Red Keep."

Rhaenyra did not hide anything and told the truth.

Viserys was greatly shocked and couldn't help but widen his eyes. He couldn't believe that his young eldest son had such wisdom.

After a while, Viserys recovered from the shock and smiled proudly.

He said happily: "Rhaega is a good boy and a good brother."

"There is no doubt about it." Rhaenyra smiled happily.

She came here early in the morning to accept Rhaegar's proposal.

The best way to crack a conspiracy is to strike first.

Rhaenyra is innocent, and no one can slander her as long as she is confident enough.

As it turns out, this is indeed the case.

Looking at his daughter's happy smile, Viserys said coldly: "What have you considered?"

"What to consider?"

Rhaenyra didn't react for a moment.

"Consider Rhaegar. He will assist you in the future, just like last night."

"Rhaegar is still very young."

"So what, he'll grow into a great young man soon."

"But I only think of him as... - I haven't thought about it yet..."

Rhaenyra was speechless for a moment, unable to explain clearly.

After what happened last night, she was very upset.

Don't know how to choose.

Viserys frowned and said seriously: "Then who do you like? Don't tell me it's some shameless guy?"

"No! Of course not."

Rhaenyra quickly denied it: "I admit that I had a crush on Daemon because of his meticulous care for me, but what happened last night made me see his wolfish ambitions clearly."

"You don't like the candidates I picked, and you rejected Rhaegar. What should you let your father do with your marriage?"

There was indescribable disappointment in Viserys's eyes.

When he thought about how Damon's evil intentions almost succeeded last night, he felt chills.

My heart skipped a beat and I issued an ultimatum:

"Leonor once proposed that you marry Sir Lannino, the son of the sea serpent Corliss. I think that is also a good candidate."

"Marrying him can repair the relationship between Targaryen and Velaryon, and help you consolidate your power in the future."

After a pause, Viserys pressed his daughter's eyes tightly, releasing the king's majesty: "Rhaegar? Lannino? You must choose between the two!"

"Can you give me some time to think about it?"

Facing her surprisingly strong father, Rhaenyra's expression changed and she begged in a low voice.

Viserys was determined and could not refuse.

The love and guilt for her daughter finally turned into a sigh and agreed to give Rhaenyra some time.

He emphasized: "The rumors will not dissipate in one day. In the meantime, I will take my whole family back to Dragonstone to live for a while."

"There are young dragons on Dragonstone that are suitable for taming, and Rhaegar and Aegon happen to have one each."

"After they tame the young dragon, I will go to Chaotou Island."

"It could be to propose marriage to Lannino for you, or it could be to send an invitation to the sea serpent for your engagement to Rhaegar."

"No matter what, you have to give me an explanation!"

After the words fell, Rhaenyra waved her hand to persuade her to retreat without giving her any room to refute.

"I still have things to deal with. You should go back and think about it."

Seeing that her father had made up his mind, Rhaenyra bit her lip, got up and left quickly.

This room suffocated her and she just wanted to escape quickly.

After Rhaenyra left, a graceful figure walked out of the depths of the room and hugged Viserys from behind.

"Did you hear everything?"

"I have no place to hide."

"Rhaenayla should marry Rhaegar. They will stabilize the throne very well."

"But Rhaenyra doesn't think so. She is still a girl with beautiful dreams."

"The heir to the Iron Throne can be a woman, but not an ignorant girl."

Viserys stopped Allison's words of persuasion and kissed her face gently.

"Okay, I have to deal with my good brother."

After getting dressed under Allison's service, Viserys stepped on the black fire sword and left menacingly.

By the end, Allison was the only one left in the room in a light gauze dress.

Allison picked up the remaining half piece of bread on the table and took a small bite, while looking out the window with a pair of dim eyes.

…

The morning light passed through a curtain and fell on Damon's face in strands.

After a night of hangover, Damon felt dizzy and muttered that he was thirsty.

Messaria, dressed in white, walked through the door, opened the light-blocking curtains, and let the dazzling light shake Damon awake.

Being awakened from his deep sleep, Damon cursed irritably and raised his hand to block the sunlight.

Mesalia knelt down and filled a bowl of water for him.

Dameng drank it all like a cow and said in a low voice: "Is there any news?"

"My informant was seriously injured. The fire last night was obviously deliberately caused by someone."

Mesalia sighed for her informant in a hoarse foreign accent.

He was just a little boy, and the cost of treatment was not cheap.

Damon stood up, rubbed his face with his hands, and said in an annoyed tone: "Someone kidnapped Rhaenyra. It seems that my brother has never trusted me and sent people to watch my every move."

"Without stopping you, will you seduce your own niece?"

Mesalia's voice was calm.

"You can't tell, power is always a seductive poison."

Damon stretched his waist vigorously, hugged Mesalia's slender waist, pulled her close, and took a bite on the cheek.

"Are you still interested at this time?"

"No, I got kicked last night. Let's try and see if we can still be strong."

The high-spirited second child gave Damon full confidence. He let go of the beauty in his arms, put on his clothes and went out.

Mesalia showed no emotion and reminded, "Remember to pay the rent when you leave."

The third update today.

This chapter is about saving the manuscript. Rhaenyra chooses between Rhaegar and Laninor.

Any decision will affect the subsequent direction of the pattern.
