Chapter 57: Prying About Each Other
"Not yet. I heard that Queen Allison has sent extra manpower."
Cole answered honestly.
"Is Lord Robert looking for you too?" Rhaegar pretended to chat casually.
Cole replied: "Yes, Lord Robert personally led the team and went to the beach to find you, the prince, last night."
Rhaegar rolled his eyes, stood up and said, "I'm full, let's take a walk around the castle."
Cole walked out quickly whether he wanted to or not.
Cole hesitated for a moment, thinking that the princess's order was just to keep an eye on the prince, and it shouldn't be considered running around if he didn't leave the castle.
Follow Rhaegar and look after him.
"What do you think my sister and father will talk about?" Rhaegar asked after walking a short distance.
"The king and the princess naturally talk about important things. I would never have thought of it." Cole always remained humble.
"Guess, my sister trusts you so much," Rhaegar urged.
Cole was asked more questions and began to hesitate, and said slowly: "The last few conversations have mostly been about the princess's marriage. I know very little about it."
"Do you know Lanino?"
"The eldest son of Lord Corliss, the sea serpent?"
"It seems you know each other."
"When Lord Sea Snake was serving as Minister of the Sea, the princess often met with his children. I was lucky enough to meet them."
Rhaegar turned his head and said extremely seriously: "What kind of person is Lanino? Answer me seriously, Sir!"
Cole remained calm on his face and gave a fair evaluation: "Sir Lanino is very handsome, has an easy-going personality, and is an excellent knight."
"Then...does he have any bad habits?" Rega continued to ask.
Based on Rhaegar's understanding of Rhaenyra, if Lannino is as perfect as Cole said, it would be a perfect match.
Rhaenyra liked handsome, gentle men, and there was no reason to resist.
Cole kept his mouth shut and remained silent.
Rhaegar understood.
Lanino had problems, but chivalry made Cole refuse to speak ill of others behind their backs.
Rega probed: "Is he addicted to drinking and gambling?"
"Sir Lanino likes to drink and never gambles." Cole answered strictly.
Rhaegar then asked: "He is a prostitute and has a chaotic private life?"
Cole opened his mouth and hesitated: "Sir Lanino never goes to whoring."
"What about private life?" Rhaegar realized the point.
"I heard occasionally that Sir Lanino is not a womanizer, and there are no scandals in this regard." Cole carefully selected his words.
Rhaegar frowned: "You don't deny that his private life is chaotic, but you say that he is not close to women. This is very conflicting."
Cole turned his head away, looking upright.
Receiving no answer, Rhaegar walked on, wondering what Cole meant.
Suddenly, Rhaegar stopped.
A possibility flashed in my mind.
"He likes men?" Rega looked at Cole in surprise.
Cole lowered his eyes, neither agreeing nor objecting.
Regana still didn't understand this reaction.
"My father wants to marry Rhaenyra to a man whose sexual orientation is not normal. Isn't he afraid of the consequences of disharmony after marriage?" Rhaegar thought to himself.
None of the Targaryens are vegetarians.
All of them are carnivores.
"Absurd, father's decision-making is too confusing." Rhaegar whispered, becoming more determined about his next plan.
"Take me to Lord Robert's room. He should have a map of Dragonstone." Rhaegar ordered Cole.
Cole said: "May I ask, what is the use of the map of Dragonstone?"
"Look for the dragon! Only take action if you have a map." Rhaegar confirmed.
"Looking for the baby dragon will have its own guard, you just have to wait."
"Her Majesty the Queen has already sent people to look for it. Of course, if she finds the dragon, Aegon must tame it first. I can't keep waiting."
The reasons Rhaegar gave were reasonable.
Cole also agreed with this and suggested: "If you want a map of Dragonstone, you don't have to go to Master Wood's room. There is a map hidden in the princess's bedroom."
"Didn't you tell me earlier?" Rega looked helpless.
"You just asked." Cole said honestly.
Rhaegar slapped his forehead, turned around and walked back.
Returning to the bedroom, he found a map of Dragonstone that was two meters wide.
Just put it under the bed.
Lying down on the map and looking at it carefully, Rhaegar looked for the location of the volcano.
Wormisor and Silverwing live in lairs under the volcano, and to find them you have to start near the volcano.
"Here, in the rocky mountains east of Dragonstone."
In addition to dragons, Dragonstone is also characterized by stones.
This rocky mountain range runs east and west, and the active volcano is located here.
After memorizing the general direction, Rhaegar knew what was going on and decided to go out to look for the dragon.
He had already thought of excuses.
"Look for the young dragon!"
Cole deliberately refused, Rhaegar said displeasedly: "Training dragons is the duty of every Targaryen, I have to join the dragon-hunting team and contribute."
"I can't explain it to the princess for allowing you to go out." Cole shook his head.
"Then you go with me and come back before dinner."
Rhaegar said and walked away, not giving Cole a chance to refuse.
Cole sighed deeply and had no choice but to follow.
The identity of this prince was so special that both the king and the princess cared about him very much. He could only do his best to ensure the prince's safety.
The castle is located to the north of Dragonstone.
Rhaegar left the Red Castle, skipping the stone steps and walking towards the farming area behind the castle.
There are many civilians on Dragonstone.
Some of them are the bastards of the Targaryen family and their descendants.
Living on Dragonstone Island for generations, the conditions are pretty good.
…
The conversation ended and Rhaenyra walked out of her father's room.
There was a faint sadness between his eyebrows.
Viserys searched for the prophetic stone wall in the middle of the night last night and returned at dawn.
Before he could rest, he couldn't wait to find Rhaenyra.
He told her about the prophecy of the Song of Ice and Fire, and showed her the record of the dragon-horn dagger.
This made her worried about the possible emergence of eternal night and the White Walkers in the future.
She asked herself whether that day would really come.
Does she have the confidence to lead the seven great nations to defeat Eternal Night and tide over the difficulties?
The answer is, no!
"Fortunately, Eternal Night has not appeared for thousands of years. The prince in the prophecy is named Aegon. He will definitely not be the coward who can only cry."
Thinking of Alicent's son Aegon, Rhaenyra regained her confidence.
On the way back, Allison's voice came from behind.
"Rhaenayla, let's talk together?"
Rhaenyra turned her head and said, "What do we have to talk about? It's not time for afternoon tea yet."
"Come on, I'm deeply sorry for doubting you last time and want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you."
Alison looked forward to it with a genuine look on his face: "Just like before, when you and I talked about everything."
Facing Allison's expression at this moment, Rhaenyra was disgusted from the bottom of her heart.
The two sides were close to falling out.
It also talks about the deep love between sisters.
"Okay, let's talk then." Rhaenyra agreed, wanting to see what she had in mind.
Allison stepped forward and took her hand, and walked towards the castle garden with a smile.
While walking, Allison asked: "Why don't you see Rhaegar?"
"He was resting. He sneaked out yesterday. I didn't allow him to go out." Rhaenyra told the truth.
"I heard that he found some ancient prophetic mural."
"Yeah, A Song of Ice and Fire."
"Haha, I thought that was a scary story about wet nurses putting their children to sleep."
"It is indeed full of mythology."
Rhaenyra didn't explain much.
The Song of Ice and Fire is a prophecy from the ancestors that only heirs need to know, and it is not Allison's turn to understand it.
The dragon will appear tomorrow.
Thanks to ai5676906 for the 10,000 points reward, I became the first helmsman.
Thanks to Tadanobu Shimazu for the 200 points.
After thinking about it, a helmsman should add an update.
Coupled with the small achievements of the milestone, next Tuesday will continue to explode even better.
