Chapter 56 Make up your mind

"You seem to know a lot!"

Seeing Rhaegar's boastful expression, Rhaenyra pinched his cheek.

"Of course, I was forced to read thousands of books, and my mind was filled with knowledge."

Rega was frightened at the mention of this matter and suffered deeply from the spoon-feeding education.

Rhaenyra snorted softly and asked, "You are so smart, help me analyze the problem."

"Come here." Rhaegar was confident.

"Father has considered a marriage partner for me, Lanino, the son of the sea serpent."

Rhaenyra's tone was calm, concealing that there was another marriage partner who was Rhaegar himself.

Rhaegar was stunned for a moment, not expecting that this was what she was asking about.

He is just a kid, how can he understand politics?

After hesitating, Rhaegar asked: "Do you like him?"

"I don't like it." Rhaenyra denied directly.

Rhaegar tried hard to work his little brain and asked doubtfully: "Father wants to win over the sea snake?"

Rhaenyra hugged him tighter and said calmly: "The Sea Serpent is a famous naval commander. The Velaryon family is extremely rich and has three dragons guarding it. It is worth winning over at any cost."

"It's a good idea. It's in line with my father's style of doing things." Rhaegar seemed to feel his sister's silence, and his voice lost the brisk tone.

"Tell me, should I agree and shoulder the responsibility of the heir?" Rhaenyra's eyes flashed with amusement.

"If it were me, I would agree."

Rhaegar responded softly, burying his head and not daring to look at Rhaenyra.

Rhaenyra snorted softly, pushed him away and said, "I knew you and father were in the same group."

"NO, I have not."

Rhaegar immediately retorted and said anxiously: "But you are the heir, and you have to face trouble until there is a better way."

"Who's the trouble, me?" Rhaenyra said displeased.

"It's a sea snake!" A flash of inspiration flashed in Rhaegar's mind and he insisted.

Rhaenyra was choked by his statement and rubbed her brows: "When Aunt Rhaenys missed the throne, the sea snake has always been resentful. Everyone knows that he is troublesome."

"We can't solve the trouble, but we can solve the people who caused the trouble!" Rega said sternly.

"Rhaegar, I won't allow you to have such dangerous thoughts!" Rhaenyra was startled by him and warned sternly.

Rhaegar shook his head: "I didn't want to kill the sea serpent. With so many people in the Velaryon family, there is one less sea serpent, Corliss, and many sea lions and seals."

"Everything he does is a desire for power, and we can use that to break down his shield."

Rhaenyra said confusedly: "If you were me, what would you do?"

"The strongest members of the Velaryon family are the sea fleet and the three dragons. The battle on the Stepstone Islands has seriously damaged the vitality of the Sea Serpent fleet, and it will not be able to recover for a while."

"Our attention should be on their family's dragon."

Rhaegar paused and frowned: "Rhaenys is the princess of the Targaryen family. She will not be hostile to the family."

"But her two children, the eldest daughter Lanna'er, has tamed Vhagar. I heard that they are engaged and will eventually marry outside."

"Lanino's mount is the new generation Sea Smoke. He participated in the Battle of the Stone Step Islands and his military capabilities are not weak."

"Go on, what are your ideas?" Rhaenyra's eyes were bright.

Rhaegar thought: "If you want to break up the three dragons, you must first formulate corresponding rules. You can try to form a royal dragoon group to recall dragon knights with other than Targaryen surnames and manage them properly."

"Except for the Targaryen surname, the current dragon knights only have a pair of children of the Sea Serpent, which is too targeted." Rhaenyra did not think it was feasible.

"It's definitely not possible to ask him to join. You have to go through a series of coercion and inducement."

Rhaegar pondered for a while, but there was not enough deterrence, and he sighed helplessly: "It would be great if my father also had an adult dragon, so we wouldn't be so passive."

"Stop thinking nonsense. Ever since Balerion passed away, my father's desire for dragons has been very low."

Rhaenyra smoothed his frown and smiled: "You are already very smart. When you grow up, you will be a powerful politician."

"I want to help you." Rhaegar said disappointedly.

"You can help me when you grow up." Lerenila said softly and kissed his forehead.

"I'm afraid it's too late."

Rhaegar suddenly raised his head and said extremely seriously: "I don't want to tame the young dragon. Instead of hatching it with my own hands, it is better to tame an adult dragon."

"How come you suddenly have such an idea?" Rhaenyra asked strangely.

"I can't help you, but I can certainly help you as I control an adult dragon."

Rhaegar got up from the bed and said while putting on his shoes: "I'm going to find Lord Robert. He knows the lairs of Wormithor and Silverwing."

"Don't be ridiculous. Meng Huo's lesson wasn't enough?"

Rhaenyra pulled him back with one hand, her eyes filled with relief and helplessness as she said, "Adult dragons are very dangerous. Vermithor is known as the Fury of Bronze, and his temper is worse than Dreamfire."

"You can always help me by being obedient and taming a young dragon and raising it slowly."

"I almost tamed Dream Fire before. I have the ability to tame an adult dragon."

Rhaegar is confident that his pure bloodline and talent are not afraid of challenges.

"I will never allow you to take risks for me, understand that, Rhaegar!"

Rhaenyra pressed his shoulders, urging him not to refuse.

Rhaegar's mouth squirmed twice, and finally turned into a sigh and nodded under his sister's intense gaze.

"Very well, you are a good brother if you don't let me worry." Rhaenyra put him on the bed.

Rega was silent, his eyes uncertain.

Deep down in his heart, he was planning how to tame Wormisor or Silver Wing.

Allison bullied him and Rhaenyra for not having a mother.

The sea serpent is ambitious with the help of three dragons tamed from the Targaryen family.

In the final analysis, it was just because his father Viserys was easy to bully that he dared to act unscrupulously.

He thought it was time for him to tame an adult dragon and change the disadvantage of a weak master and a strong minister.

"Father needs me, Rhaenyra needs me too..."

The second before the lights went out, Rhaegar lay on his side on the bed and secretly made up his mind.

…

The next day.

Rhaegar had just woken up when he heard a knock on the door.

Then came Cole's reminder: "Princess, the king just sent someone to ask you to come over to discuss matters."

"Yes, Sir Cole."

Rhaenyra hurriedly put on her clothes and warned Rhaegar: "Don't run around, do you hear me?"

"Don't worry." Rega patted his chest.

Rhaenyra pushed the door open and told Cole: "Watch him, don't let him run around!"

Rhaegar was a bad boy with a criminal record, and she was worried about leaving him alone.

Cole nodded in agreement: "Yes, princess."

After repeatedly confirming that nothing was wrong, Rhaenyra left with peace of mind.

In the bedroom, Rhaegar was already dressed.

Servants brought breakfast.

Rhaegar picked up a piece of bread and gnawed it. He looked back at Cole who was guarding the door and asked, "Have you eaten? Let's go together?"

Cole declined: "Thank you for your kindness, no need to bother."

Rhaegar did not force it and ate alone.

It's a pity that Ilic didn't come with him. The Kingsguard only brought captain Harold and Cole.

Maybe I can have a bite with him.

"Sir Cole, is there any news about the search for the young dragon?"

Rhaegar suddenly asked.
