Baelon approached and said aggressively, "You said Rhaegar was injured. What's going on?" Viserys said dissatisfied, "Rhaena, you have that attitude towards your father. Are you speechless in front of the king?"
For a moment, he said helplessly, "I'm sorry, I'm just worried about Rhaegar's condition." "Rhaegar is in very bad shape, with extensive burns on his body. The Grand Maester said he might not survive."
what the Grand Maester had said about him.
But he didn't believe it.
Rhaegar was in good spirits when he communicated with him and didn't seem like he was about to die soon.
Viserys believed it was the Seven Gods who were protecting his eldest son.
Rhaenyra, who didn't know what was going on, was stunned by his words.
She was stunned and speechless, almost falling.
She's one of those sisters, the closest relative her mother gave her in her life.
"How can it be... Rhaegar was fine this morning... No way..."
murmured Rhaenyra to herself, confused, unable to believe the bad news she heard.
She couldn't accept this.
"Where is Rhaegar? I want to see him!"
Rhaenyra took a moment to come back to her senses, anxious to see Rhaegar.
Viserys sneered and said, "So you still care about your little brother. I thought that bastard Daemon had taken your heart away." "What are you talking about? Why would you say Uncle Daemon took my heart?"
Rhaenyra unconsciously retorted and continued asking, "I want to see Rhaegar. My brother needs me."
"No, he doesn't need anyone. He just needs to lie quietly in bed to recover!"
Merciless denial.
He already knew everything that happened today in the dragon's den, including the conversation between Rhaenyra and Daemon.
He was well aware that Daemon seemed to covet Rhaenyra.
His own brother seduced his own daughter for power, something Viserys would never allow.
He must correct the mistakes before they happen.
Seeing her father was so harsh, Rhaenyra didn't know why and could only choose to give in.
Worried, "Father, I'm Rhaegar's sister. Shouldn't you at least tell me why Rhaegar suffered?"
Viserys didn't hide this and told her the reason frankly.
Rhaenyra exclaimed, "Rhaegar just went to tame the dream fire. Is he crazy?"
As we all know, dragons are creatures of ill temper.
Dragonesses like Meng Huo, who have been imprisoned all year, are even more outstanding.
Rhaenyra tried to tame dragons step by step with the help of dragonflies when she was young.
Barging into a dragon's lair and taming a solitary adult dragon is simply seeking death.
Every year, in Dragonstone, one or two young people with ancient Valyrian blood secretly attempt to tame wild dragons.
In the end scene, most of them were reduced to ashes or swallowed by wild dragons.
Few people survive under the flames of the dragon.
Rhaenyra felt indescribably uncomfortable at the thought that Rhaegar might suffer serious burns from the dragon's flames.
If she hadn't rejected Rhaegar's request to fly on a dragon, maybe she wouldn't have put him in danger.
Seeing her daughter's remorse, Viserys softened and was no longer willing to scare her.
He sighed and said, "Rhaega is very lucky. He was just scorched by the dragon's flame. If he recovers for a while, there won't be any major problems."
"That's good, as long as Rhaegar's life is not in danger."
Rhaenyra felt very relieved. She took a deep breath, and the heart that was in her throat fell back into her stomach.
The assassin's spear had begun to yield results, and Viserys placed it on the stone sculpture, intending to reveal its true purpose.
"Rhaenyra, do you have someone you like, someone you admire?"
As a father, Viserys felt a little embarrassed when he said this.
For the sake of the future of a pair of children, he made the effort and asked questions. The topic changed so quickly that Rhaenyra didn't turn around for a moment and asked suspiciously, "Why do you ask that? Has another adult proposed to you?"
"Ahem, of course not."
Embarrassed, he spoke eloquently, "I think you've reached the age to be engaged. If there's someone you really like, you can tell me."
"No, most of the men I see are a bunch of idiots and some smart ones. People are too moralistic."
Rhaenyra's expression turned ugly at the sight, complaining about the men who spread their wings in front of her.
Viserys rubbed his eyebrows and hesitated, "What do you think if I choose a spouse for you who meets all requirements in every aspect?"
"Father, we agreed not to mention this until the end of the tournament. "Things"
. She resisted the temptation to get married.
Viserys quickly said, "You should listen to the candidates, maybe you'll be satisfied."
"It's up to you. You can't escape from those families anyway."
Annoyed, she turned away, not wanting to confront her father at this moment.
Losing his daughter's gaze, Viserys was less stressed and said, "What do you think about following the family tradition?" Rhaenyra stiffened, turned with difficulty, and asked with doubt on her face, "Following the tradition? Did you guess who
choose.
He said angrily, "Are you willing to sacrifice my marriage for the Iron Throne, and also involve others ?!"
Viserys also got excited and his voice raised even higher: "What does sacrificing your marriage mean? As a royal princess, marriage is what it means. Your responsibility."
"Even as king, I can't escape from this!"
Rhaenyra was unconvinced: "If you want to get married, do it alone. like those scavenging vultures, and I won't allow you to hit Rhaegar.
"Rhaenyra! Do you know what nonsense you're talking?" Viserys stood up and pointed at his daughter, "You are the princess of the realm and the heir to the Iron Throne. Because of your
status ,
you enjoy all the continent's honor." The noblest honor besides me."
"But now, look how selfish you are!"
"And you're not willing to sacrifice for it!" !
Viserys's eyes widened! Looking at Rhaenyra, he asked, "Is this the sense of mission of being the heir to the Iron Throne?"
Rhaenyra gritted her silver teeth and would never give up. : "Power is not about compromising with others, everything
you desire you achieve it yourself."
"What have you achieved? What else do you have to be proud of besides being the heir?" Rhaenyra smiled sadly and said indifferently, "This is what you mean buried in your heart, isn't it?" "
"Do you also believe that I should not usurp the heir's qualifications?"
"Especially Rhaegar who has regained his health, you no longer need a girl to be your heir." Viserys immediately denied: "No! I admit I have wavered, but I still recognize you as my heir at this moment."
"Heiresses are deviant. If you don't choose a partner with a solid background, it will be difficult to secure the Iron Throne in the future."
"I know you don't want to marry the son of a Prince or noble you don't like. A good choice."
"He is of pure nature and has Targaryen blood, and his identity will also help you consolidate your power."
