Chapter 502: Princess of Summer Hall
Chapter 502 Princess of Summer Hall
Rhaegar sat down gently, leaning against the glass window, with the sunlight shining on his side face.
Helena enjoyed the tranquility of this moment, lying down with Chuluo's graceful figure, constricting her gauze skirt and curling up her legs.
Tied up her hair and rested her head on her brother's lap.
The sun is shining brightly at noon.
Helena closed her eyes slightly, smelling the familiar fragrance of orchids, and her round and round earrings were slightly red.
“The Sea Serpent is damaged, which is not a good sign.”
Rhaegar spoke suddenly.
“You should take Aemond’s advice.”
Helena didn’t want to open her eyes, and she rubbed her round head repeatedly.
Like a little deer that has just had enough to eat and drink, acting coquettishly and begging for pleasure.
Rhaegar lowered his eyes and murmured to himself: "He is too young and vigorous, and many things have been neglected in pursuit of honor."
He likes this younger brother, is familiar with history books, and practices martial arts hard.
It’s a pity that I have a fragile heart that is easily influenced.
“He longed for praise, and as a child he was willing to serve as Aegon’s lackey.”
Helena looked calm, held her brother's big hand with her small hand, and hinted: "Maybe you should praise him more, like a mother."
Rhaegar thought hard and said dumbly: "Forget it."
Eamond’s taste…
It’s hard to describe in one word.
The proposal was rejected, but Helena remained quiet, like the Sleeping Beauty in the story.
Rhaegar likes this kind of intellectual beauty, which makes people feel peaceful.
Looking at Helena, her green cheeks faded away, and she reached out to caress them gently.
Touching and touching, along the white neck, wandering towards the higher ground.
Pick up the neckline of the gauze skirt with your fingertips…
Suddenly, Helena opened her beautiful eyes and said in a clear voice: "Rhaenyra is too domineering."
“Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?”
Lega was dumbfounded, and the palm of his hand changed its path to grasp the slender waist.
Helena sat up, looked directly at the person in front of her, and emphasized: "She can't even part with a dragon egg."
Rhaegar didn’t react for a moment.
“She is hostile to me.”
Helena crossed her arms with her knees and looked out the window.
She did not dare to look directly at her brother.
Rhaegar reached out and touched her cheek gently, saying solemnly: "She is hostile to Jeyne and has never spoken of you."
“This is the way she treats me.”
Helena's body suddenly tensed up, she shook her head to avoid being touched, and said with a trembling voice: "Jenny was almost destroyed by her using the same method."
Rhaegar was speechless and retracted his stiff palms.
Helena was reluctant: "The valley doesn't approve of that child."
“Okay, stop talking!”
Rhaegar interrupted, his voice filled with anxiety.
Helena shut up when she heard this and shrank herself into a ball of white gauze.
Rega's eyes flashed with distress, and he controlled his inner anxiety and comforted softly: "I will solve the problem in the valley, and it won't happen again."
The incident Helena mentioned originated in midsummer of 122 AC.
At that time, he had just ascended the throne and was busy handling government affairs across the country.
Who would have thought that a half-year war would almost bring down half of the noble families in Westeros.
Rhaenyra became queen and helped with the memorials at King's Landing.
Jenny is pregnant and proposes marriage.
Rhaenyra reported this matter to him, acted very generously, and agreed to marry Jeyne as her princess.
Behind the scenes, they made small moves.
Hide Jeyne's private letters and reply in Rhaegar's name.
One word, wait!
Wait until Rhaegar had taken care of the newborns in Highgarden and took over as Lord Steward of the Reach, and until Jeyne's first daughter was born.
Pregnancy out of wedlock is considered an illegitimate child according to the tradition of Westeros.
Rhaegar didn’t pay attention at first.
He is the king, who dares to say anything?
Jayne was worried, but Rhaenyra intercepted the letter and forged the news.
When things were ready and Rhaegar married Jeyne in the Vale, the unexpected happened.
A group of nobles in the valley who opposed female heirs suddenly came forward and openly exposed the pregnancy out of wedlock in order to attack Jane's inheritance rights.
Rhaegar did everything he could to keep Jeyne as a duchess.
The daughter's identity was determined, and she was not given the surname Arryn or Targaryen.
Rhaegar was very angry about this and planned to kill these valley nobles.
However, every nobleman was a hero in the battle of the Narrow Sea, and Rhaenyra was behind him.
In the end, Rhaegar just beheaded a few earls who caused the most trouble to calm down the farce.
The most annoying thing is that her abdicated father came forward to help Rhaenyra, covertly and covertly.
Rhaegar still could not give his daughter a surname.
In anger, he did not choose a surname for his illegitimate son, and he still does not have a surname.
For this reason, Rega and his two wives successively triggered conflicts.
It wasn’t until two years later that Janey gave birth to a second daughter, who naturally took the Targaryen surname, and the relationship between the Iron Throne and the Vale warmed up again.
That same year, Rhaenyra gave birth to Maekar.
Rhaegar, under the persuasion of his father Viserys, took Rhaenyra back to Dragonstone.
In this family dispute, Janey and her first daughter became victims.
Although Jeyne got her wish and married into the royal family, she failed to obtain an heir named Arryn and lived in seclusion in the Eagle's Nest City all year round.
The first daughter lost the right to bear the surname because of Rhaegar's mistake.
Hearing this, Helena buried her head between her legs and regretted: "I shouldn't have just sat idly by and ignored it."
She clearly discovered that Johanna was tempting Rhaenyra to intercept the letter, but she failed to stop it in time.
Because it was none of her business, so she hung it up.
When the incident broke out, she started to feel scared after hearing what happened to Jenny.
After that, Helena fell into self-blame and chose to leave the Red Keep.
Missed the coming-of-age ceremony and wedding.
Rhaegar frowned, took her hand, and said firmly: "Don't lock yourself in the shadows. I will be preparing for the ceremony when I go back this time. Do you choose Dragonstone or Summer Hall?"
“That will be before Aemond.”
Helena raised her head silently, her voice soft and soft.
"Don't worry about that bastard. Expect him to get married smoothly. It's better to expect all the remnants of Dorn to die in the desert."
Rhaegar knew Aemond too well and just wanted to soothe Helena's psychological shadow first.
Hearing this, Helena pursed her lips lightly and said decisively: "Summer Hall! Dragonstone Island is not my territory."
“Okay, it’s in the Summer Hall.”
Rhaegar agreed without hesitation. Following Aegon's Prince of the Stepstone Islands, Helena and Aemond have been cleaning up the remnants of Dorne hiding in the desert all year round.
Rhaegar named her "Princess of Summer Hall" based on her military exploits.
The fiefdom is the completed prince's palace. Helena got the inspiration from her titles of "Long Summer" and "Midsummer Prince" and renamed it Midsummer Hall.
Sealing Summer Hall to Helena showed Rhaegar's love and selfishness.
Rhaenyra and Jeyne both had their own fiefdoms.
Helena left King's Landing and could only live in Harrenhal or Stonehelm, without a place to stay.
Getting a positive answer, Helena cleared away the gloom and regained her smile.
Rhaegar rubbed her head and joked: "How old she is, she still looks like a little girl."
Helena closed her eyes in peace and suddenly said: "Do you want me to prepare a dragon egg for that child?"
A niece without a surname is deprived of many rights.
Dragon eggs are stored in the greenhouse on Dragonstone, under the control of Rhaenyra.
Rhaegar suppressed his smile and said thoughtfully: "She doesn't have a surname yet. The dragon egg and surname will belong to her one day."
"All right."
Helena just made an impromptu decision and said softly: "Menghuo has laid a new clutch of eggs. If you don't want them, I will send them back to Junlin Dragon Lair."
She is very clever.
Afraid that Rhaenyra might cause trouble, she kept the dragon eggs in Summer Hall.
Rhaegar was speechless: "I am still the king on the Iron Throne, and I have not been ignored by my own queen."
That child is special and has inherited his talent as a dreamer.
Has no contact with others and stays in the room all year round.
If he wanted to give a dragon egg as a gift, he would have personally selected one and given it to him.
Like with Jane's second daughter.
But he didn't.
He cannot give his daughter a surname, which is considered a shame by him.
Sooner or later, you have to cleanse yourself, give your surname and present dragon eggs in an honest and fair manner.
The wild young dragons of the Smoke Sea, Volantis and Slaver's Bay allied themselves with Braavos, which is eyeing...
Also a sea snake returning from injury.
All this is sending a signal.
The conflict is about to turn into war!
Rhaegar will use this opportunity to change some of his bad habits after taking the throne.
Let’s start with the dispute over the inheritance rights of Chaotou Island.
…
The next day.
As the sun rises, the port of Huhuan Town is bustling with people.
Climax City, guest residence.
The servants knocked on the door early and brought the necessary toiletries and breakfast.
Until the morning, the attendant sent news.
Rhaegar walked out of Helena's room with sleepy eyes.
“Where are you going?”
Helena tied her hair tightly, and then realized: "The sea snake is waiting for us in Jiubi Hall?"
Rhaegar yawned and said calmly: "That should be it. You want me to be the villain."
Conflicts within the family are the most difficult to resolve.
One night is simply not enough for the sea snake to stabilize a few of his nephews.
“Some are busy.”
Helena muttered.
Lega smiled and said: "Before coming to Chaotou Island, I had some expectations in my heart."
Without the in-depth exchange last night, how could Helena's heart be opened.
The little girl was frightened.
Normally, he avoids Rhaenyra and Jeyne, and is extremely well-behaved.
Walking in the corridor, the brother and sister chatted with each other.
While passing by the hall on the third floor, several figures with silver hair and black clothes walked past one after another.
Rhaegar looked carefully and saw several dark-skinned faces that were typical of Velaryon.
A middle-aged man who looked like a sea snake walked in the front, followed by several men of similar age.
While walking, they were still whispering.
“Nephews of the Sea Serpent.”
Rhaegar recognized their identities immediately. Both of them had participated in the War of the Narrow Sea.
“Who did you see?”
Helena turned her head to straighten her knotted hair and didn't see many people.
Rega said casually: "It's nothing, I'll see you soon."
Helena nodded and didn’t ask any more questions.
Walked for a while.
Helena suddenly asked: "Where are Bellon and the others?"
Rhaegar was stunned when he heard this, and thought: "Sister Benila took them to play."
Several children were having fun and didn’t return to Gaochao City last night.
Helena said "Oh" and chatted: "Belron's dragon egg has not hatched, and he wants an adult dragon."
Rhaegar shrugged, a little relieved: "Yes, that boy is very ambitious."
Helena tilted her head: "The only suitable dragon is the silver wings of Longshan."
Gray Shadow and Haiyan have not long grown up, and the young dragons are not what they want.
There are only ownerless silver wings.
Rhaegar said helplessly: "Silver Wings is very good, but I don't know whether I like that kid or not."
Gray Shadow likes Belron very much.
When I was on Dragonstone, I often tried to abduct this little guy.
However, the falling flowers are intentional and the flowing water is ruthless.
Berlon couldn't hatch the dragon egg, so he planned to kill a giant dragon.
Gray Shadow failed again.
Helena’s eyes looked strange, thinking of her father’s Wormisor.
That giant bronze dragon migrated to live in the Dragon Nest on Qianmian Island, and it has not flown with many people in recent years.
Rhaegar changed the subject: "I heard from the fishermen that the sea smoke has been wandering near the Dorne Sea, and sometimes another dragon will appear."
“Isn’t it Dream Fire and Sheep Thief?”
Helena was confused.
The only dragons that can roam around are these two.
“I don’t know, maybe there is a wild dragon.”
Rhaegar raised his brows, occasionally recalling the message left by Dragonless Veygon.
No matter how many times I searched, I still ran into the wild dragon of Sothoryos.
